Green Day - Letterbomb (Live From Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame 2012) Official

[@colton0491]

Am I the only one that thinks this is one of the best or even the best green day song

+Colton Deschamps I think this is actually one of Billie Joe's favorite GD songs. It might honestly be his favorite.

[@skibbedypappow4579]

I agree with atw

Vinyl Collector She's a Rebel is an awesome song too, but that never even got played live other than Storytellers.

[@Buecherwurmify]

+TreDrummer13 green day's american idiot is an amazing album, not because of the songs like wake me up when september ends, boulevard of broken dreams and american idiot, but because of all the other songs. Songs like Holiday, she's a rebel, jesus of suburbia and so on, which are much bigger when you start listening to them, I guess that's what all of us wanted to express ;). I can't get enough of them since more than 10 years, since I bought this album in spring 2005 when I was only 12 years old :D

[@relientk777]

[@javinshafer8698]

[@falderock100]

When I listen to My Chemical Romance, I feel sympathy, or pumped. When I listened to Black Veil Brides I feel like screaming and shouting (In a good way). When I listen to Green Day, I feel at home. I just get this happy, warm feeling that just makes me smile. Before I knew who they were, when I was about 3, I listened to them and loved them and still do. They always make me feel just, happy. They're like comfort songs. I don't know why, they just bring back the nostalgic feeling of joy :)

[@thatlonewolfguy2878]

Green Day are like every young teenage kid's gateway drug of a band to heavier rock music, I grew up listening to like Nirvana, Metallica, Black Sabbath then one day my dad gave me the American Idiot album and the rest was history, was also a mix of Green Day and Nirvana that I discovered Foo Fighters and they're one of, if not my favourite band of all time then from there I got into Linkin Park (RIP Chester) and like Killswitch Engage and stuff then I discovered Trivium when I was like 16 and they've been my favourite metal band ever since

[@hallgren1995]

[@Liam_]

+Oscar Hallgren During the iHeartRadio performance (Yes, the one with Billie's breakdown) He starts doing little dances and stuff during American Idiot. It was quite funny to see, even if Billie being drunk as fuck kind of ruined the performance.

[@adamplaysmusic2869]

Yeah, I agree he's definitely starting to lighten up

[@karanbarnabas]

+AdamPlays Music yea, especially despite him playing the guitar throughout. Billie stops whenever he feels like but he has to continue and he plays most of the solos while Billie just jumps around.

[@moppetmaker]

Billie consistently performed anywhere from buzzed to wasted for years. I was always impressed that he could still play and sing well even when drunk. But when I was watching his infamous iHeartradio show live that day, right away I knew he had crossed a line. He was so fucked up (on god knows what besides booze) that he couldn't even play his goddamn guitar properly and his singing sounded awful which is not like him. Once his problem started affecting his musicianship it was time to cut it out.
