electricpants yeah but it takes skill to keep that tempo up the entire song once you’ve decided it, especially when you have long rests where the drummer doesn’t play
That's because they had to add 2 more people to the band without actually having them being In the band. Their albums are heavily over dubbed with multiple players of guitars. So when they played live it didn't sound the same. For years they didn't sound very good live. Then they got another guy to cover on guitar and a keyboardist to fill in all the gaps.
This band has been and always will be my lifesaver. Thank you green day for changing my life forever. Any direction they decide to go, I'm with them.. always have been.. tightest band in the world. Without a doubt..
I love Tre's drum sound in these Stern clips. It's very basement/garage band sounding. The sound seems more intimate than a normal TV show/radio show set up. 3:23 old school Billie Joe guitar solo!
Rock will never die, it's still one of the biggest genres and I'd even say the rock scene is more alive than ever, but its happening less in the mainstream media. The mainstream media needs simple content for simple people, but just take a look at the album charts, mostly rock, since rock fans spend more money on the artists they love because they're not replaceable.
I remember when American Idiot came out. I was in 4th grade. It's been my favourite Green Day album ever since. I remember having it on repeat on my walkman, hahaha.
Tre's arms have been tired for 20 years. He always looks like he just barely hit that last note and is trying to not fall on his face. Yet, the drumming is always tight as fuck if you aren't looking.
@@Kickex Dave Grohl sings with gum in his mouth too so I'm sure it's a fairly ordinary thing for guys who sing a lot. Probably keeps their mouths from drying out.
Eu não consigo dizer o quanto essa banda é fudidamente maravilhosa! A animação do Tre, a voz do Billie, as carinhas que o Mike faz, o Jason tocando. Essa banda é 100% maravilhosa! Me orgulho eternamente de ser fã deles!
Everyone's talking about how Billie's singing is still really good, but can we take a moment to see how on point Tre's drumming is?
@@electricpants8194 I know, but I'm just saying he's really good.
I play this song in a covers band. I'm a guitarist. My favourite part of this song without question......the drums.
electricpants yeah but it takes skill to keep that tempo up the entire song once you’ve decided it, especially when you have long rests where the drummer doesn’t play
electricpants Billie actually set the tempo when he started the first riff. The drummer went off of him
Omega I have one of his drumsticks!
"You cried after finishing the album. Did you know that?" 😂
"No I didn't." 😂
😂
hahaha lol
No I don't know what I did in my own life
It's true actualy
That guitar tone is absolutely mega
yeah right
Hella Mega.
Yeah, those P-90 pickups are sounding good.
Absolute maga
Iha mega
Give the sound engineer on this video a raise! Sounds quality is awesome.
Lol, for once
Ha de ganar un dineral, la neta
Awesome but what happened to the second mic?
I think the bass could've been louder lol, or maybe it's just because I'm a bass player.
Yes
No autotune, just pure talent
SOUND ENGINEER DESERVES A NOBLE PEACE PRIZE!! Seriously, well done!
You're goddamn right.
I agree. Same thing with Father of all..
Is it Scott? Lol
Dunn I thought he lowkey thought he was lousy as hell
I think it's spelled Novel :D
Billy is a vampire. 50 years old but still looks like he's in his 30's!
Tbh, he looks a lil bit aged now.
But still a badass
Nah he looks 40 ish
yeah, let's see him without the hair dye.
For real for a second i thought this was an old video, untill i saw the rest of them
Lol wat
Any band that sounds just like the album when they play live is a good band
That's because they had to add 2 more people to the band without actually having them being In the band.
Their albums are heavily over dubbed with multiple players of guitars. So when they played live it didn't sound the same. For years they didn't sound very good live. Then they got another guy to cover on guitar and a keyboardist to fill in all the gaps.
@@KombatRealm they have always sounded good, the extra guys are just their to create the wall of sound effect
@@KombatRealm i was about to say
only 3 band members is kinda low, unless you're 21 pilots
Also maybe cuz this song is ridiculously easy to play on every instrument lol. Love green day tho
Adam Levine
Tre's facial expressions when he drums is everything.
I love it when he smiles while playing; it’s the most heartwarming thing ever and it’s so pure.
Drummer here. I’m guilty of making faces when I drum, but thats only because I’m having a blast behind the kit
great song for today
Hate them or love them they are a tight band with catchy songs. This proves it.
Why. would. anyone. hate. them?
U can’t hate them
I always thought they were the cheesiest band as a kid. Listening now that I'm older, I can respect their musicianship so much more.
Jason Dowdy The Beatles weren’t the most talented musician’s on the planet, but created catchy songs...
Jason Dowdy love them or hate them*
The way he started the distortion, make me goosebumps
What do you mean ?
@@taufiqyeasin5381 Probably the tone on Billie's guitar. I honestly like this tone too. It's got more gain than usual.
I know what you mean🔥
What pedal do he used for this performance ?
@@panzerstein1701 that overdrive sound comes from modified 59’s plexi, he adds boss bd-2 during solo🔥
It just sounds like an album recorded! They are walking studio
It sounds good, but nothing like album version. Sounds very live to me. That said, the sound guys at Stern's are gods.
Well tbh it sounds like a demo version that they would re-record in a professional studio. But I know what you mean.
It sounds better 👍🏼😎
Agreed!
Joey Mayer credit the sound engineer!
Bro poor Mike, He’s so under appreciated
Yesssssss
dirnt dirnt dirnt
I'm not a Green Day fan, but this performance is ridiculously solid. Crazy tight band and perfect sound engineering. Soliiiiid
15 years later and they can still play this song perfectly. Plus that solo towards the end
Billie Joe ain’t the only one who’s immortal. Mike Dirnt has been old my whole life.
Christopher Chuauhang Tre too!
And Jhonny greenwood enters the room saying: bitch what?
@METALHEAD666777 Mike also looked 40 when he was 21!
its bc he's always been skinny
@@JayZombie1216 its all that cocaine
mike is a terrible bassist but he's one hell of a functional cocaine addict!
This band is perfect in every conceivable way. Fuck I miss when it was 15 years ago.
Robert M not perfect but great
Robert M it was okay then granted I perferred blinks record
I don't miss it.. coz I listen to this music everyday
7 years have gone so fast
Neil Huston wake me up when September ends hehe
When he said “America”
I felt that
All 5 of the guys playing these instruments are sooo talented. Truly inspirational
Rise up for the national anthem
XD
International best

They haven't aged a single day since they started and sound so fuckin good. Very nice, thank you.
They look great for people of their age and are all still in good shape but lets don't go overboard.
Jason Cooper i was thinking this was in the 90s
Jason Cooper everybody saying that and I see people in their 50s. They are talented but aged.
They absolutely have aged
Jason Cooper It helps to not get screwed up on drugs or drink, apparently.
Shout out to whoever does sound for Howard. Bands always sound excellent on Howard Stern.
Yes!!!!!!!!
I love that drum fill 2:04
I like how he kept the lyrics current at 2:18. Keeping to his punk roots.
Shocked he still says Fa**ot though
@@JohnnyGingy he's bisexual though
@@JohnnyGingy haha you cant say it.
@@JohnnyGingyshocked you'd want to see artistic expression censured
@@JohnnyGingy So? Any use of F slur in their songs is meant to be ironic, calling out homophobes and showing people just how ignorant they sound.
This band has been and always will be my lifesaver. Thank you green day for changing my life forever. Any direction they decide to go, I'm with them.. always have been.. tightest band in the world. Without a doubt..
So basically he looks exactly the same 30 years later.
It’s only been 15 years but I get your point. He still looks the same lol
Still so attractive.
Don't 30 16 years later
thats cus he got da money to fix body!
@@JessicaOfViableVintage makes me realise how bisexual I really am
I like how the guard is just vibin' to the performance😂
That's not the guard. That's Kevin Preston, GD's touring member lol
That's not a guard lol, hes in the band
That's Kevin xD a touring member.
That's not a guard 💀
Guard lololol😂😂😂
Crazy that they still sound amazing live in 2019. Never heard a bad a performance from them.
Best live band in the world. bring them every week!
They suck, they're bubble gum punk rock
Stop being mad
Debatable
I love Tre's drum sound in these Stern clips. It's very basement/garage band sounding. The sound seems more intimate than a normal TV show/radio show set up. 3:23 old school Billie Joe guitar solo!
This song is one of the best
That's relative
they are all great musicians but Tre Cool is one of the greatest underrated drummers of our time i think
Technically nothing special but his endurance is and always has been off the damn chart. Guy can play.
He sure is
tre and travis barker deffo best drummers of the punk era
I just LOVE the way he changes the rhythm at 2:22
@@areebah3001 FR
It's so weird hearing this song without the vocal effects, but it's just as good hearing it clean. Respect.
This song was ahead of it's time. Green Day is DOPE! Always has been.
I'm not used to seeing tre without coloured hair
CleanlyWolf pretty sure it’s coloured cos it’s not grey 😳😳
same!
Dudes 46, I guarantee that hair is coloured, it just not primary coloured.
CleanlyWolf I’m sure it’s not actually his hair colour at his age 😂
I thought it wasn't him 😂
Props to Howard for having Green Day on. We need bands playing real instruments on TV and Radio more. Never let Rock die.
Even if they only play 3 chords with them.
It’s punk pop
Agree bro🤘
rock never died. it just became less mainstream.
Rock will never die, it's still one of the biggest genres and I'd even say the rock scene is more alive than ever, but its happening less in the mainstream media. The mainstream media needs simple content for simple people, but just take a look at the album charts, mostly rock, since rock fans spend more money on the artists they love because they're not replaceable.
I really love how tre plays the drum passionately at the same time having fun even at that age
Whatever you do don't tell him he has a minute left 😂😅😂✌️
This song is more relevant 15 years later ...
Andrew It really is
Andrew I was sitting in class and a few girls were filming a tik tok as I had this song playing in my headphones and I had to try so hard not to laugh
🤯🤯🤯
Billie Joe is psychic, it was personally written for Donald trump 🇺🇸
IM NOT A PART OF A MAGA AGENDA
Love green day . Voice of pure rock.
Miss high school days ❤️❤️
Love live version
I lost count of the times I watched all of Green Day's appearances on this show. I love admiring each of them playing.
Crazy genius, seriously talented ...drummer is so solid its sick
His voice + Drums beat 🥁 + Guitar 🥂
This was the first album i ever bought as a kid, damn this brings back memories.
same here 🤘🏻
First album I bought was kid rock Rockin roll Jesus I was in the 4th grade
The one I bought for the first time was Gorillaz's album - Gorillaz (2001)
No auto tune or anything this guy is Legend..”
30 years on and they are still sound as they did back then. Now my kids are hooked on GD as I was back then.
The levels are absolutely perfect, vocals stand out just the right amount
His Voice is never getting old its same like always
I remember when American Idiot came out. I was in 4th grade. It's been my favourite Green Day album ever since. I remember having it on repeat on my walkman, hahaha.
Goddammit, this guy nearly 50 years old but he is look like 30, I guess he is immortal 🤔
He looks 40 in my opinion, I'm only 14 so I dont really know, that's just my opinion
That doesn’t make sense but okay.
I know!
He looked 30 20 years ago...
Which one there are a lot f guys
i love how perfect their guitars sound every single time they play. i lived for that perfect distortion
I really want to kiss whoever’s in charge of the sound on this show, every video I’ve watched of this show has absolutely amazing sound
I love when Billie adds his little guitar solo on this tune!
🤘🏻🎸🎶
Sounds kinda Johnny B Goode and so good!!
This song immediately brings the image of teeny bopper jumping on trampolines and writing on their diaries in there room with headphones.
I mean tbh if you read these revised lyrics it’s still kinda deep.
That's so 2000's dude
Sí!!!!! Jajajajaja
Its called Punk Rock, thats why i love this genre
Amazingly tight playing.
Sounds amazing.
Top drawer.
Can we appreciate how sincronised the guitarists are!! ❤❤. 2:06
Yup 😊
God bless Howard Stern!
They're so great live, one of the few bands that can do it
skrt do what?
do your mom
crying to whatshername, i can relate
Silvester Sourn factual
Fucking destroys me every time.
He wasnt crying about the song,infact it is about the album
I feel you man.
Please relate that
God whoever does your mixing needs endless praise.
The best funk ever in history green day
Goddamn this sounds solid as a rock.
That album was all killer no filler too by the way. And I'm not even a fan. These guys rock.
tre is doing the “arms are tired” drumming.
tre is one of those drummers that never looks like hes having a good time lol
This was at like 7am
billey bonez bullet in a bible much?
Tre's arms have been tired for 20 years. He always looks like he just barely hit that last note and is trying to not fall on his face. Yet, the drumming is always tight as fuck if you aren't looking.
billey bonez
Have you not seen him in some live performances? He looked so happy and it looked like he was having the time of his life.
4:25 when it finishes it still looks like Tre is proud like 'fuck yeah we made this song'
These guys are fantastic, they are all just having a great time playing it shows their playing so tight perfection genius
Damn that solo is a nice new touch to the song to keep it fresh after all these years
Proud of u GreenDay..!!
Thank you for your beautiful work...
Love U
I from indonesia
So amazing how he maintain his voice until now he aged. Not all band vocalist happens like that 👏👏👏
Singing with gum in his mouth, so thats his secret
Well, he is singing american idiot after all.
@@Kickex Dave Grohl sings with gum in his mouth too so I'm sure it's a fairly ordinary thing for guys who sing a lot. Probably keeps their mouths from drying out.
Dave Grohl does it too
Dave grohl taught him that
Mark king made that cool yrs ago
Billie joe was always scared of getting older, but it seems like he's grown into it just fine
You can tell that from a 4 minute video?
@@wayne909 Fr
2:18 I like the alternative version
🤢
bring me back to that era please 😭
damn all the instruments are on point, and the mix perfect!!!!
3:38
*Trè* "Billy, what are you doing?"
Lol I noticed that. But I do like the little solo he added
That's not an added solo really. This is how the song has been played live for 15 years now. Except for the MAGA bit.
They always have such an awesome groove
No autotune or Playback… I LOVE THIS!!!

I love this song so much, and whoever does the sound here is great
ZoomJ74 I know Howard works the board. Not sure if he is here but god damn good mixing!
I fucking love. This. Band. My hometown heroes 😭 also Fuuuck this sounds great in his studio. Good job
They sound exactly like the album. Just awesome...🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿😎
the whole band is spot on i hope they are still together
I’ve seen them in concert twice and they still sound really good!
His voice is still as good as his younger prime years!
Really sounds great, well mixed. could imagine hearing the album version if I close my eyes.
2:23 is my favorite part of this song the drums are 🤌🏼🤌🏼
Howard stern the master of feigning interest.
Damn the sound is amazing!
This is definitely the blitzkrieg bop of our generation.
That Lp Junior sound 😳❤️
That guitar sound is INFECTIOUS!!!!!!!!!
Good sounds and voices, greetings from Malaysia.
“I’m not a part of a maga agenda” I have literally never stanned them so hard eye-
