Instagram - AdamTheWooATW Something a little different today but really enjoyed seeing these spots. Early 90s Green Day made a big impression on my life and was the reason I picked up the bass guitar and started a band . Ahh memories
My old hood! Used to go to Gilman in the early 90's. Never saw Green Day there but my sisters did. My sisters friends used to be extras in Green Day's music videos. "When i come around" & "Geek stink breath" are a couple i can think of. I used to work in a used guitar shop in Berkeley in the 90's and used to sell guitars to Billie, Mike and Tre. The Kramer Bass Mike played at Wood Stock 94 was from our shop. I saw Mike buy it. He brought it back after Woodstock to get fixed because he got tackled by security and got a tooth knocked out. The guys in Rancid were friends of my sisters too. Fun times!
Dookie is one of my favorite albums of all time period. I'd love to see you do more videos on punk bands and their history. Awesome video and keep up the great work Adam!
I had no idea you had huge appreciation and inspiration for Green Day man, even overlooked your tattoo on your arm. Op Ivy, Rancid. Lots of great music mentioned here. I heavily enjoyed this. Especially you visiting Gilman and Christie Road. That Bug! Thanks for sharing this. was so cool.
CLAP CLAP CLAP This was quite good. I love it when history and pop culture blend together to create an amazing experience such as watching this fantastic video by the great Adam the Woo.
You didn't!, you just didnt!, out of nowhere, This was an Awesome Surprise on one of my favorite bands..... Nice!!!.....There's so much history in the bay area.
My old next door neighbor was Travis Barker n for my birthday he took me to the pop disaster tour I got too meet all the guys there all humble and great guys
Cool video, went to high school with Mike (bassist) down a few miles at Pinole Valley, class of 90, remember he was in my PE class. Green Day performed our senior year in the mall of the school 🏫. Wow memories!
Awesome work, thank you. I live in Hercules and my son goes to 'the' Pinole Valley High School. Right before you got on the bridge toward the end of the video, you passed Carquinez Middle School. (That was the Carquinez Bridge) CMS is where Mike and Billie met and became friends. So awesome that he connected his songwriting with reality in the same way he connected the band and the crowd. Every night I work out in my garage with the door cracked blasting Jesus of Suburbia, Holiday, Blvd of Broken Dreams, etc. in the hopes that one day someone will be knocking on it, I'll open the door, and Billie Joe will be standing there...
That's awesome that you made this video - I went to 924 Gilman about a year ago and just wondered all the awesomeness that place has seen. I was lucky enogh to see Green Day back in 1993 at a place called La Luna in Portland, OR for like 5 bucks - changed my life.
Loved that GREEN DAY was in the simpsons movie! Operation ivy is my fav..but always really loved GUTTERMOUTH..Teri yakimoto is my fav!😎Afternoon Adam!!
Green Day Rules!!! They helped me deal with stuff through my childhood and let me escape into the lyrics of their songs. Thank you Adam for sharing this!
How awesome that you’re up here! This was such a great little nostalgic video. I have a buddy that works at the Gilman and gave me a heads up back when they did a surprise show a couple years ago. Enjoy your time up here!
Green Day has been my favorite band for 21 years. I live on the east coast so can’t really make it out to these place. From one fan to another, thank you for this.
I saw them in Detroit a couple of years ago at a small 2,500 seat venue. One of the best shows I have ever seen. You could feel the floor of the balcony bouncing up and down because the crowd was rocking so hard. Great band. Thanks Adam great vlog today!!!!
Awesome video dude. I remember I got into Green Day at 16 years old, I even visited The Bay area, Broken Guitars ( Billie Joe's store) and even went to Gilman and went inside as well. During my visit at Gilman, I met Tim Armstrong's brother Jeff, he was really kind enough to get a tour of the place and man Gilman is so awesome. Thanks for sharing this video, Green Day as a whole represented my adolescent years. I'm 20 now and I still get excited listening to Green Day.
I love green day I've saw them a few times. I have been looking for a video on Gilman street for ages. Loved Green day since I was 12 I'm 40 this year. Wish I lived in America so I could tour all the great places you go to xx
Glad you made it out safe from west Oakland! When Green Day signed their first deal. The club on Gilman said they could never come back. They later regretted saying that. Oakland has so much music history, and it's not being covered like it should. Glad you did this Green Day was a top band of mine as well. I'm in Los Angeles to see the Dodgers play tonight. Thank you Adam!!!
Fantastic video, I freakin LOVE Green Day! I've always wanted to see these locations. Until I can experience their stomping grounds in person, thanks for letting me do it vicariously through you :)
The very first concert I ever attended was Green Day on December 3, 1995 I saw them in West Palm Beach, FL. I was just about to turn 13 years old.... Thanks for this video Adam, it brought back some good memories of one of my favorite bands.
I loved your channel before but after this video I died I love greenday and this made me love your channel more because I’m a crazy punk fan. Stay awesome Adam. Thanks for being awesome
They played a gig at my buddies parents house in Benicia for our going away to the Army party in 89, great times. There were some killer punks shows all around the bay, late 80's- early 90's. W.D.B.C., and all that. Thanks for the great revisit Adam.
I was standing on stage right with Billie playing the opening riff to welcome to paradise. The year was 1994, the venue was the hatchshell in Boston. A free show that was not prepared for a crowd of 6000. Only 5 songs in and the crowd bum rushed the stage knocking over the metal barriers, trampling the flower bed and as they reach the stage, Billie drops his guitar and bolts for the rear of the stage, Mike follws, i follow Mike leaving Tre behind me as an all out riot began. Frightening sight indeed. I hid with the band and my friend Terry downstairs as riot grew with the arrival of the police. Ill mever forget the feeling of being trapped and unsure of the crowds intent. Green Day was sued by the family members whose kids got injured, but it wasn't their fault as they were not responsible for venue security or safety. When court date came around, Billie had to borrow a suit from Dickie pf the Mighty Bosstones to wear in court. True story.
great work woo,i was playing pubs when dookie come out,played a heap of songs from that album live,this week mr woo, i retire from music,30 years of great times,,,,good work woo,good work
The fact that you actually took us to Christie Road a place I’ve thought about 1 million fucking times but living here in the Boston area I would have to go really really far to see in the fact that you brought that to us that’s pretty cool. I’m 34 years old and have been listening to Green Day since I was 10 this means a lot to me thank you
Dookie is the one CD that I still keep in my car and really the only CD that I listen to on a regular basis. So many memories tied to each one of those songs.
Born and raised in the east bay. I saw Green Day about the same time you did. I graduated HS in 96. Saw many shows at the Gilman and the Berkeley Square. Good times my friend!
Great job Adam! So cool to see you in NorCal...my stomping ground :-) I went to Gillman once and saw The Mentors. We used to see Primus a lot back then over at Berkley Square. I saw Green Day at Lollapalooza 94, they blew the place up.
I’ll be making the same trek in September going to the saviors tour at oracle park. Never been to nor cal so very excited to see these cool Green Day landmarks 👍
YES ADAM!!! As someone who loves all of your content but isn't particularly interested in all the Halloween/scare maze stuff, I feel like this more than makes up for kinda tolerating the past few weeks of (admittedly still great!) content that just wasn't quiiiiite to my tastes. This is a BRILLIANT return to the stuff I personally like, not to mention one of my all time fave bands!!
Great video. I've been hoping you'd film something like this for a while. I'm a second generation Green Day fan, my Dad raised my sister and I on their music.

From the 90’s I’d say Blur is my favorite and I got to see em this month! 😄
TheDailyWoo I like a little different Hope you have an excellent day my friend enjoying this video now
My older sister used to go there before Green Day went big time. She said they received a lot of hate for going mainstream.
Are you still in the East Bay ???!!!!! Fan meet and greet ????!!!!! C mon man !!!!!
Oh nevermind.......just seen you were driving on the old Bay Bridge......that thing is long gone.
My old hood! Used to go to Gilman in the early 90's. Never saw Green Day there but my sisters did. My sisters friends used to be extras in Green Day's music videos.

Johnny Beane wow you were really close to green day ... lucky
Your Sisters are awesome badasses, good for all of you!!! :)
Hey Johnny! I didn’t expect to see you here
You lucky bastard!
Dookie is one of my favorite albums of all time period. I'd love to see you do more videos on punk bands and their history. Awesome video and keep up the great work Adam!
Same man . Although kerplunk I hold at a slight higher regard cookie kinda changed my life
What a time to be alive. I was about 19 or 20. Working at Pic n Save. That was truly a care free time of my life.
Time sure does fly
I had no idea you had huge appreciation and inspiration for Green Day man, even overlooked your tattoo on your arm. Op Ivy, Rancid. Lots of great music mentioned here. I heavily enjoyed this. Especially you visiting Gilman and Christie Road. That Bug! Thanks for sharing this. was so cool.

CLAP CLAP CLAP This was quite good. I love it when history and pop culture blend together to create an amazing experience such as watching this fantastic video by the great Adam the Woo.

I was in 16 when Dookie came out. I still have the CD still and still love it. And also, I have Welcome to Paradise, stuck in my head....lol.
You didn't!, you just didnt!, out of nowhere, This was an Awesome Surprise on one of my favorite bands..... Nice!!!.....There's so much history in the bay area.

Green Day's Dookie Tour (1993) with Moist was the first concert I ever went too. Remember Moist? Those guy's were a hidden gem....
Never listened to them
First tape ever bought was "Silver"
Holy hell, that's a band name that I haven't heard in forever! They were a hidden gem.
@@foodiethebeauty yessss...
@@proseb4bros976 so good...
First saw Green Day in '91 with about 6 people in the "crowd".
Opened for them in '93 to a packed club.
And now I'm old.
Wow that's awesome . I'm glad I got to see them before they blew up
Respect from a younger fan 🙏

Thank you Adam!!!
I’m so happy you did this! I’ve been a fan since 94 as well. I live in Central NY.
924 Gilman Street was a concert revenue for all performed singing artists back in the past? Dang, I must be learning about the life of rock and roll.
When the basket case video came out it was one of the songs that got me into rock. Great video!
The BEST video you have made 😜
Your in my neck of the woods. Great vid Woo! Love the Green Day road trip.
Another fantastic video Adam great job.
Sweet video, love it.
As soon as Adam said nice, that sign wound up in his trunk lol🍻👊🤘
So stoked you made this video Adam!! Massive Green Day fan and have always noticed your tattoo. Totally cool!!!!
Amazing to think about seeing them before they were big and not realizing how big they would get.
It's kinda crazy how big they got
Fantastic video, I freakin LOVE Green Day!
I've always wanted to see these locations. Until I can experience their stomping grounds in person, thanks for letting me do it vicariously through you :)
Glad you enjoyed it

Big Green Day fan, thanks for the vid brother.
Very cool! You should do more of these!! ❤️
Good job on the amazing video

Wow it's cool thanks 💚💚💚💚

That last video really tugs at my heart strings. Why do we have to get old. I have tears in my eyes
I know . It's crazy that dookie turns 25 next year
Great video. I've been hoping you'd film something like this for a while. I'm a second generation Green Day fan, my Dad raised my sister and I on their music.
Fantastic content.
You're in my neck of the woods! yay!
Green Day is not my type of music but I enjoy these type of videos. Thanks Adam
I’m going to Gilman on Thursday and I am overjoyed!! 😭💚
Green Day, Operation Ivy and Rancid!!! Great work Adam!! \,,/
Great band! Thanks Adam!
No problem
This was a really good video, love the theme park vids. but sometime what lies beyond the beaten path is even better. Good stuff!
Hey, you were in my neck of the woods! Great video; it's neat to see familiar places and sometimes people. Have a great day!
Awesome . It's a beautiful area
Awesome,your in my neck of the woods. Greenday is one of my favorites. Rod's hickory pit was very tasty
That sucks that Fantasy is closing...so much history! I really enjoyed this video (okay, I enjoy all your videos), but this one especially.
Damn it you were in my back yard. Wish I knew that you were coming this way. I would have bought you a beer. Another good video Adam.
I had no idea you went to Gilman!! I am going in June. My favorite band I’ve seen them 4 times.
Kool vlog. More Green Day!
Thanks for watching
