I started listening to them when I was like 10. I’m 38 now. I saw them live for the first time finally a few summers ago. They’re still AMAZING live. Hands-down one of the BEST concerts I’ve ever been to. And smack in the middle of the show, they had a crowd of 30k chanting, “no racism! No sexism! No homophobia!” And it was just... it made my whole soul smile because sometimes it’s rough here in central Indiana. 😂

My two daughters are big fans (as was I in the 90's), and I took them to see their concert in August. Excellent show! Played this one of course lol. Cheers!

I don't know if anyone in the 90s could have imagined what Green Day has become today

Saw them live recently for the first time, earned a whole new respect for them. They are a classic band, very cool band.

Funny. I never realized that Greenday and the Offspring were technically "punk rock" - back in the day they were just another drop in the "grunge-adjacent 90's alt rock" bucket. Classic stuff. Check out "She" and "Longview" by Greenday. Then go check out some more Offspring.

One of the most tedious arguments the internet has spawned is whether Green Day are 'real punks' or not. Some gatekeepers are weirdly annoyed that they call themselves real punks - so much so that they've never checked to see if that's actually a claim they have ever made.

Green Day is one of my favorite bands and when I was growing up. I had just about every album they ever made. And they were all bangers.

Think we are slowly learning Brad is more of a punk rock type of guy

amazing band ! got to see them in concert when dookie album was new .. they sound so good live !!

Love this song, and agree with you Lex, the drumming is epic.

This my second fav track off this album. This album saved my life in highschool. Finding a band sing about the things I was feeling as a teen helped me know I wasn't alone in my experience.

Hell yes Brad, you a punk rocker too!

Brad loved it!!!..its a killer song - great job!

BRAD: "There's a season for everything." Guys, you've got to give the Byrds' "Turn! Turn! Turn!" a listen.

Gotta do reactions to The Police, The Cure, The Smiths, and Dave Matthews Band, just for starters! Love you guys!

Clean and straightforward. The best of punk.

Its so much fun to hang out with you 2 and relive my high school days! Stay busy fam!

Greenday- when I come around and pulling teeth are elite songs

Y'all have a great channel. Makes this fun.

I remember when this song came out. Instant love.

The first and only song I ever had to argue with my mom that I was mature enough to listen to. "Mom, I've already heard it and remain the same...."

One of the better drum songs out there.

I love it so much when he is into it and she doesn’t understand what he’s talking about. Quite a reversal. I love it so much man you guys are my favorites.

I remember watching these guys at Gillman Street back in the day. Total goofballs, great music.

Literally every song by Green Day is a must listen lol

Longview will have Brad in tears of laughter

Brad super honesty. Love it.

So glad you finally did green day they have so many hits

lmao I love how offended you got when she said you weren't a fool, that was beautiful haha

i'd argue that Tre Cool (drummer) and Mike Dirnt (bassist) are one of the best rhythm & percussion pairings of any punk/pop-punk band. Mike's basslines as well as his vocal harmonies, unmatched Billie Joe (frontman) always says Tre Cool is "the world's most dangerous drummer". If you watch old performances of theirs (90s to mid 2000s) you'll see why haha

One of my favorite songs. Brings back memories. I used to do this one for karaoke.

This song came out when I was just about to hit middle school. It definitely set my vibe for middle school😜
