It's like he looked at what the script required of the character and just did as little of it as he could get away with while just acting like late '90s Billie Joe Armstrong. This man is beautiful.
@@littleredruri well, if we’re being technical, where other characters do branch out and evolve, sometimes into several personalities, St. Jimmy is the most consistent and unchanged character when compared to the album - he is still the personification of the protagonist’s demons. He isn’t changed by the addition of 21CB songs, he has all the same lyrics and motivation without any new subplots. So it’s safe to say that Billie Joe did write this one as well. Not to mention that the band worked very closely with the production crew of the show and approved all of it before it went live.
He wrote the role of St. Jimmy in the album based on his demons. He is St. Jimmy in a since. I’m his audible podcast “Welcome yo my panic” he said when he was playing St. Jimmy he became him. He didn’t shower for weeks, he did coke and acted like him.
The spelling alone in this comments thread is enough for an aneurysm. You probably don't know what that is because it's the correct spelling so watch my attempt to stoop to your level.... here I gooooo: andyourisem ....nailed it
You wrote that comment 10 years ago, but I'm currently a college student and my Theatre Appreciation class just had to watch this 😂 Hello from October 2nd 2022
I just saw the show last night with Billie Joe!! He was awsome!! I loved the show it was great and at the end I met the three main guys and I was close enough to BJA to touch him but I couldn't get his autograph with all the people there. :(
what? if you read that on the itnernet, it must be true!!! :D LOL btw 'Tom Hanks' production company Playtone Productions has announced that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong will star as St. Jimmy in the movie adaptation of American Idiot, the stage musical based on the Green Day album of the same name. Armstrong, who starred in the role for the majority of the show's run on Broadway, is the only star attached to the film so far. The movie is tentatively scheduled for 2013."
It's just strange how they have Time of Your Life in the musical when it's on the Nimrod single. It pretty much kinda ruins the whole focus on the story rather than the band itself. Now, make a musical with all of Green Day's 90s songs - that would be a funny one.
@razberiix is life imitating me or is rage imitating life.? i feel like a civil war like a knife in the heart. i've got an axe to grind and it's splitting my head open. no friends, no girls. i need both!
@AMomentWithMarky thank you! it's a Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS5 ! Billie Joe's in the musical until the end of February..except for one week, so you still have time!
@canIhazaFanBase hey! when did you see it? i'm going the 23rd and I was wondering, does he come out afterwards? he is my complete IDOL. and i would love to see him!
I went to see this with my dad and after it was over he didnt say anything until we were out of the theater and walking down the street he goes... i dont get it... haha outstanding
@AMomentWithMarky aw that sucks :( hopefully he'll be in it again! hahha and yea he did, but i was too far back to get his signature...im pretty sure he usually comes out, and I know that some people get pictures with him before the show too. np!
@AMomentWithMarky idk Tony Vincent was the first American Ediots i saw with, he was pretty good i though but Billie Joe has a softer voice which doesnt really attract as much as Tony Vincent.
Imagine being a word-famous singer and nervous about getting on stage to sing at a musical show about your own songs . Dude , the other dancers must have freak out Also , did he kissed a dancer ? Old habits 😂
I was watching this yesterday & my mom came down & said" I don't understand your obsession with him. Who is he anyway?" I said " Just Billie Joe Armstrong the best musician in the world & shame on you for not knowing who he is" she also said "None of this makes sense is he St.Jimmy or Jesus Of Suburbia I don't get it"
It's like he looked at what the script required of the character and just did as little of it as he could get away with while just acting like late '90s Billie Joe Armstrong. This man is beautiful.
well he wrote the character so...
Well Billie IS St. Jimmy
@@JosieSanelly not this version of the character he didn't

@@littleredrurithat’s literally not true he was heavily involved in this production
I'm not ashamed to say that if had been there I would have completely lost my shit.
Halle Jenns I was lucky to be there when he was there and it is one of my most favourite memories.
@@nothingtoseehere1729 you British or canadian?
my mom was at one of those performances and she said she usually is not one to scream in the theater but she couldnt help it lmao
That "1234" when he starts is iconic
the reason billie joe is in my mind the best st.jimmy is because he's so energized in the role its great

i was there... and you could scoop the energy up in that room and eat it it was that intense.
Makes sense
well he has been confirmed to play st jimmy in the movie
it's been 7 years, there's no movie
@Thomas Randall I know:(
@Thomas Randall it probably would
@Thomas Randall what??? Dammit...I hope it gets picked up by a different studio to be made.

I've always loved this song's speed.
THE BEST PERFORMANCE with BILLIE JOE that I can find on here!!! HE IS MY HERO!!
St. Jimmy should be a rock star!
.... he's the lead singer of a group called green day. They are up and coming but I think they'll take off soon
Billie was amazing in it!!! Had to go and see it again a few days later!!!
His name isn't Jimmy
It's Saint Jimmy
AND DON'T WEAR IT OUT!
He still do the dance :)
I love him as St. Jimmy!!!
your camera has an awesome quality and zoom!!!

Too fabulous for words. Really.
I just saw the show last night with Billie Joe!! He was awsome!! I loved the show it was great and at the end I met the three main guys and I was close enough to BJA to touch him but I couldn't get his autograph with all the people there. :(
This is the one play on Broadway im so pissed that i missed. grrrrrrrrr Hedwig was awesome but this is even more Rick n Roll.

@reverenfender yes I sat second row for lottery and it was hilarious! John was cracking up.
In other news, John Gallagher Jr. is the cat's pajamas.
nice quality and this has the beging of the song unlike others i have seen. i saw it with BJA in the end of january
This is great! So clear when you zoom on his face! I can't wait to see it again! Thanks for posting!
Just saw this musical on Sunday. If only I had seen it with Billie Joe. D:
Still, it was fantastic even without him.
I LOVE IT!!! I HOPE THEY COME TO EUROPE WITH THE MUSICAL VERY SOON!!! *.*
Damn, I hope he plays Jesus of Suburbia, because I honestly can't get enough of him.
I’m currently in the ensemble of a community theatre production of American Idiot and I’m having the time of my life with this show
Background dancer
Billie joe charisma baby
only legendary band have their own musical :)
Queen has a musical called we will rock yiu
OMFG! This is amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you !

I luv this vid i love this play and i love green day awesome job filming!!!
all the sparkles make billie even sexier if that were possible

wow. he plays a much better St Jimmy than the guy that I saw! If Gallanger spiked his hair and dyed it black, they could be twins!
I don't think St Jimmy was the best role for him to play... But him and John Gallager Jr.... 😍 I wanted to see this so bad.
Hi Hello It was fucking amazing imo
@hellokittydolll That's Brian Charles Johnson... he's filming what you see on the screens :)
omg this was 3 years ago.
@canIhazaFanBase hey! when did you see it? i'm going the 23rd and I was wondering, does he come out afterwards? he is my complete IDOL. and i would love to see him!
oh ! Damn God Billie joe is so Fucking Amazing !!!♥
Johnny is saying, word for word, what it says in the deluxe edition of the AI booklet between Boulevard Of Broken Dreams and Are We The Waiting.
@robinmistri Agreed. Tony is amazing. I didn't get to see Billie though, but Tony blew me away everytime.
@AMomentWithMarky
YOU SAW IT WITH TONY VINCENT?!?!?!!?
LUCKYYY!!!
I went to see this with my dad and after it was over he didnt say anything until we were out of the theater and walking down the street he goes... i dont get it... haha outstanding
OH MY FUCKING GOD! AWESOME!
@GaryDPGreenday So Queen, Green Day... Yep! Legendary rock bands. ^^
I hope that Billie Joe plays St. Jimmy in the movie at the veary least make a camieo
@AMomentWithMarky aw that sucks :( hopefully he'll be in it again! hahha and yea he did, but i was too far back to get his signature...im pretty sure he usually comes out, and I know that some people get pictures with him before the show too. np!
@AMomentWithMarky idk Tony Vincent was the first American Ediots i saw with, he was pretty good i though but Billie Joe has a softer voice which doesnt really attract as much as Tony Vincent.
@sjimmydg From what I've heard, he is. I think something may have confirmed it, but I'm not sure.
I like Billie's acting as Jimmy more than the "other" guy.
0:30 is that Tré Cool?
No
I was about to say that.
Billie Joe IS St. Jimmy
who is the guy at around 2:40 who's like superclose to the stage and looks like he's shining a flashlight on them?
@sjimmydg god i know i really want him to be in the movie he probly is though
SPARKLEZZZ
What is Johnny saying at the beginning?
I want John Gallagher Jr to be in the movie!!!
does anyone know where i can get the shirt billie joe/st jimmy wears?
I was there
is this van hughes or john gallagher jr?
Do you...by chance...have a full bootleg?
@darenmay thanks!
is that jhonn gallagher or van hughes
Yeah He is :D
I hope that St. Jimmy plays St. Jimmy... AKA Lou Taylor Pucci, from Jesus of Suburbia.
How does he move so fast ..
What's the name of the movie so I can search it?
evacookie913 broadway idiot
Well.... It's cause he's magic just kidding I was wondering that too
@PatriOM13 No story, that's why.
Imagine being a word-famous singer and nervous about getting on stage to sing at a musical show about your own songs . Dude , the other dancers must have freak out
Also , did he kissed a dancer ? Old habits 😂
If I had a bad-ass alter-ego I wouldn't name him Jimmy. That's just me thought
I like how this song has a patriotic sound to it.
Not patriotic at all. More rebellious.
I would guess it would be called "American Idiot: The Musical"
Matt Sawyer broadway idiot
Dani Weekes that’s the recording that was released to the public. Matt Sawyer got it right
my mom asked me the same thing
