Green Day - Basket Case I Singer Reacts I

[@batmanslarynx]

Green Day's bread and butter right here. They have a lot of songs about mental health and dealing with sobriety. A song from their newst album "Saviors" has a single called The Dilemma which is exactly about Billie Joe's struggle with sobriety, no hidden message, straight to the point. It's such a raw song, would be cool if you gave it a listen!

[@ian3314]

This album "Dookie" is one of the first cds I ever bought with my own money. Still in my top 10 easily of great total albums from start to finish. "Welcome to Paradise" is another great not as well known song from the album.

[@Smoshy16]

My understanding is that the song is about the anxiety that Billie Joe Armstrong was experiencing around this time. Dookie is/was a great album.

[@mrtveye6682]

Nice throwback. Saw them back in the early 90s just before they had their big breakthrough in a small club with maybe 100 people (and the place was packed, it was that small). Great show, they really deserved the success. Esp. since they didn't even had to "sell out" for it. The songs on "Dookie" could have easily been on one of the first two records.

[@benmason9755]

Hitchin' a Ride is a fun one that's got a lot more going on under the surface than you think there is.

[@shaggy7927]

This song came out during my high school years... it's one of my favorites

[@TerminatorYT-wz5jg]

Green Day is in my Top 2 Bands of all time and they are honestly not far from being my number one band, Jeaus of Suburbia is my favorite song by them and they don't have a single bad song in any of their albums, Respect to Billie Joe Armstrong for his amazing vocals

[@brucecooley70]

This album made Green Day my favorite band way back when. I just saw them live at Fenway Park in Boston. They put on an amazing show and played for two hours and twenty minutes. It will be very hard to beat that show in the future.

[@stacyr.8585]

Saw their Wrigley show mid-August. Epic. Got a set list and drumstick.

[@katana2seppuku]

u should totally react to abandoned pools - the remedy. literally not a single person on yt has reacted to them. they're actually so underrated. beautiful vibes

[@gesundheit602]

What a great concert this was... Lollapalooza- Aug 12, 1994... Summertime, Lakewood Amphitheater in Atlanta... those were fun days 🙂

[@natejames6867]

Reminds me of when I was 18 going snowboarding hanging out blasting Green Day. What a great time.

[@Drake844221]

I really appreciate your thoughts about the song. And... yeah. Men are definitely stigmatized when they have mental health struggles. Heck, when my household was going through a particularly stressful experience, I was the only one in the family who... it felt like _wasn't_ allowed to be struggling with it all. We're out of that now, thankfully, but... yeah. A lot of trust went straight out of the window at that time.

[@stevej1154]

You should check out the Ramones, a big inspiration for many bands, including Green Day, who had many songs about mental health - most notably Psychotherapy. Your hair looks great by the way.

[@JesterTBP]

I was JUST thinking about this video the other day, mostly because Hi Ren gives such similar vibes. I became a life long Green Day fan after seeing this video.

[@Ezeriasz]

its like when everyone asking "how are you" but dont really want to hear the answer, but you give it to them and they are scared how messed up person you really are

[@xrentonx]

Classic Greenday I grew up with. I'm not such a fan of their newer work though. Those first 4 or 5 albums are magic. Fun fact...those masks are just like the masks from the end of the film "Brazil".

[@JimmyZeinal]

Linkin Park also has contents like this... Packaged with music that sometimes makes us want to dance on our own suffering ahahaha, and please listen to Linkin Park's concert version!!!😢

[@vlastik]

6:35 I loved the reference to Flying over the cuckoos nest.

[@thecraftmasque]

the first song i ever heard from greenday was 'warning' back in 2000 and i legit thought they were a british punk band, they had that vibe about them. then came american idiot which was a phenomenal album but had more of an alt-rock sound, and now they're kind pop-rock imo. so plenty to discover and work through with these guys.

[@JesterTBP]

That album had SUCH a different feeling than Dookie

[@PieterF]

For some reason after I hear this song, I always think of Green Blood by The O'Reillys and the Paddyhats. Rachel, if you want, you should check that one as well.

[@robertbunting3117]

It's been a long time since I've actually seen the video for this song, there's a couple of 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' references in here that i didn't pick up on the first time seeing it because I hadn't seen that movie since I was a kid

[@talesfromaprofessionalnerd]

One of the best bands around. You should deep dive into some of their other stuff, too.

[@claisonpereira9080]

Eles tem musicas divertidas e com letras interessantes, e eu gosto muito.

[@padenj420]

If you want to hear a good song about mental health, check out Dead Men Take No Pills by Call Me Malcolm. It's a really good video, too.

[@Gforceracing20]

A good read by a Psychiatrist that no longer prescribes is 'A Mind of Your Own' by Kelly Brogan MD. Pretty high level

[@ivanchoque718]

Rayaction sos hermosa. Me enamoré jajaja ❤

[@wethepeople6642]

You need to checkout- Allegaeon- Of Beasts and Worms. And Cattle Decapitation- Scourge of the Offspring! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@luisochoa9822]

Beatiful more kisses... ❤😍😘😘😘And very good reaction... My favorite band.. 🤟🤟😡🎸

[@TommyNez98]

Other great songs by Green Day to react to is… Paper Lanterns One of my Lies Going to Pasalacqua She Chump/longview Welcome to Paradise Brain stew Hitchin a ride Redundant Burnout A lot of their songs from the 90’s are awesome. I think you’ll enjoy them 👍

[@Bekka_Noyb]

♥ Green Day!

[@christopherking4932]

Awesome video.

[@billmcandrew9210]

Check out Green Day’s Still Breathing!

[@martinwhite3559]

People did not take the lyrics seriously as Green Day where labled as a punk band. We thought it was a great song with some cool lyrics not to be taken too seriously. They also wrote a song about being too lazy for self pleasure. The way the songs on this album are delivered it is hard to take them too seriously. I always took this to be just a fun light hearted song but if you listen to their songs American Idiot and Holiday they felt like they had more serious lyrics, but the music kind of watered this down. It is not uncommen for songs to have upbeat music but serious or depressing lyrics. The Kids Arent Alright by The Offspring. It would be a very depressing song if not for the lyrics. If you listen to the last studio album by Nirvana is very depressing as the music and vocal often match the somber lyrics. Still a great album but messed up at the same time. The band that their music match the lyrics the best is System of a Down. They sing about some difficult topics and you feel the message by the tone of the songs. Granted they have some weird songs and vocals but they just make some amazing hard hitting songs. Linkin Park is another one that the music and vocals matches the lyrics. I like to find out about songs that sound happy due to the music and obscure lyrics but the actual meaning is quite sad. Some people have even used every breath you take as their wedding song but it is actually a stalker song. The music and vocals are upbeat, fun and catchy but also water down the disterbing lyrics of a man obsessed with his ex wife. Well that is what i have read about the song. More 90s Rock please.

[@tyronegorman8949]

The theme song to the show "community" is really upbeat and happy sounding but if u listen to what the guy is singing about, he's straight up saying he's fed up and wants to off himself 💀💀💀

[@yogapratama8855]

I love green day..

[@3DJapan]

I was in high school when this came out and the whole album barely left my CD player.

[@ChrisFreund-rt8rf]

I saw them at Woodstock ‘94. No,I didn’t throw any mud.😂

[@Rockaria23]

Tommy Johansson did an epic Symphonic Power Metal version 😊

[@bayareathrasher666]

East Bay in the HOUSE!!!

[@SumBlink-lw3pg]

This is pure pop punk right here

[@DrBeardfacePA]

Dookie is a perfect album to me. Not a bad song on there.

[@breakfastatmilliways]

You might really like their song on their newest album, dilemma.

[@ddasdgfhfghfg8255]

Green Day 21 guns next please!

[@shadyd2544]

Green Day did the whole drug abuse thing like most bands from the 60s to the early 00s. The lead singer struggles with it to this day.

[@squarebarrel]

You should listen to the actual demo for this song. It’s a totally different song and deferent subject matter.

[@sonyarwan9147]

hi Raya.. curious u're reaction for Bon Jovi - Thank you for loving me . .

[@abhimalik6136]

I guess this song defined the new age of punk rock

[@Dani-x01]

Hi Rachel hope you have a good day. good classic green day song and interpretation from you of it but please react to some gojira stuff.

[@TruthHurtsSomet1m3s]

I feel like "It all keeps stacking up, I think I'm cracking up" would have been a better lyric.

[@LuisYanez-yv2lg]

Please, react to Fall out boy's song, they're soo good

[@Noneyo-Bidness]

Armstrong struggled with his sexual and gender identity for years... There's several songs that address it head on. King For A Day is another great one.

[@Lrs12359]

Is it wrong that while in the waiting room waiting for an operation that I sang this to myself?

Where's Metallica?

[@Schaw1337]

Green Day have always been a voice for the weakest people in our society alng with bands like NoFX, Rancid etc.. they are really doing a good job :)

[@rushunt2131]

When they started they were so Anti Establishment, now they pander.... pass!

[@ninja_tony]

So what you really mean is you just now found out that they’ve ALWAYS been left leaning anti-government liberals that happen to also support people’s freedom to love whoever they want. Right? Because none of those things are new to the band, they’ve always had those beliefs and always been vocal about them, so who exactly are they “pandering” to?
