Fan plays Billie Joe's guitar on stage with Green Day in Chicago - When I come around & Basket case

This redhead fan got so lucky to play Blue with Green Day on stage - and he did a fabulous job! Followed by a big jump into the crowd :) (The guy's name is Thomas Bulvan)
IT'S THE REAL BLUE. Check out Christie Road from the same show to see the back of the guitar with the picture of 10-year old Billie: • Billie Joe plays on hi...

I was at this show! Dude really did fucking kill it. Before the video starts, I guess the kid was like right in front of Billie, I was like 5-6 people from the rail, holding a sign saying "I can play every note on Dookie." Billie said "Do you really know every note to that album?" apparently he said yes cause then he said "Then get your ass up here." Never seen someone hop the railing so fast in my life Haha. Fucking killer show

[@wetrat1120]

Oh and then after Billie hands over his guitar he says "this is either gonna be the greatest moment in your life, or your worst nightmare" lol.

I was at their show in Copenhagen, June 7th 2022. Billie Joe got two fans on stage. First, a guy to sing along. Then, a girl to play second guitar. And he gave that guitar to her, as a present. It was AWESOME.

Definitely not his mom's guitar right?

[@smilingsadness9527]

isn't it odd that a punk rock band will appreciate its fans while a pop singer will not? the kindest people I have met are actually punks, geeks and people on the fringe, not uber religious people who go worship every week. odd, eh?

if only I were punk enough as in Green Day? I always thought they were the definition of punk rock. its just interesting to see different opinions. I speak from anarchy!

[@schlooonginator1227]

Lol, they still have some of the components of the pop punk they have always had but they seem much more rock now with ballads and sets with strings, not exactly punk.

[@illgetbacktothat2291]

StarsStillShine ! He has said many times he uses replicas because Blue is too fragile to take on tour.

[@finn4375]

Yes. Its a replica. Billie Joe rarely takes the actual Blue on tours. And even when he takes it on tours he only plays a few older songs with it.

[@damianfalton5267]

I think it's the real Blue. Look at the way Billie takes it back after the end of When I Come Around ;)

I love this so much. I wish more bands did this. It's such a relatively small thing for them, but so huge for the fan and the crowd.

[@shameacortes4688]

I've always wanted to see Green Day live, even if it's in the back of the crowd. It's 8:07 am here in Port St. Lucie Florida, as I type this, and my soon-to-be 37 year old self is rocking out to her favorite band like the 10-year-old back in '94 who had a Green Day poster on one side, and a Mike Devereaux “Devo” mini-poster, favorite band and baseball player, I'm a lifelong Orioles fan, Dookie came out at the perfect time for me, especially living in the Bronx, New York. Thank you, Billie Joe, Mike and Tré for being my first real exposure to punk rock.
