[@Cc-sr1zr]

True

[@serinag2717]

0:41 "with angry music about miserable teenage lives" idk why i laughed so hard at that

[@hollyserrato3935]

Probably because the description is SO wrong

[@zakeyahliving]

@@hollyserrato3935 right Billie Joe already said the song was about his AnXiEtY like bruh😂

CHASE BAILEY where that??

[@TheDreamingInsomniacs]

He actually predicts “Nice Guys Finish Last” The opener track on Nimrod, their next album after Insomniac (the one they were promoting here)

[@NovacaineRebelxx]

Basket Case isn't about what they said it was about in the beginning.. It's about Billie's anxiety attacks.

[@muffy8917]

You would know I'm guessing you wrote the song?

[@NovacaineRebelxx]

@@muffy8917 Billie Joe has explained in interviews before that the song is about him having anxiety attacks and that he has suffered from panic disorders his entire life.

It’s really weird 😂

[@pennyroberson2087]

Watch the 1991 interview when Mike was wearing that weird rainbow hat...

[@singleaspringle6941]

1:30 Billie always puts an emphasis on that they were just lucky. He always says that it was the right place and the right time and it just happend. "It's like winning a lottery"

[@donovancrow787]

lol I love Billies facial expression when he said "I've been wearing the same pants since 89"

[@jrmaddu1]

In 1987 the band was called Sweet Children, then in 1989 they changed their name to Green Day, hope this helps

[@princesscamila7349]

TRE LOOKS SO CUTE ❤

[@greendayturkey706]

OH MY GOD THEY ARE SO SARCASTIC I LOVE THEM

[@GreavsieeBUB]

there's a possibility he may be upset because punk bands that "make it" tend to get shunned from the underground punk scene and everyone they work with and even their friends start to hate them for being successful... that could be it.

[@IndigoDrum101]

Shit, I remember watching this at the time and it was amazing getting to see one of my favourite bands (at the time) punking out on UK TV!!

[@whitenindroid]

I love tres hair so much

Billie is soo cute in this vid but also sounds pretty sarcastic

[@TheDreamingInsomniacs]

I just love how he predicts the chorus of nice guys finish last two years before Nimrod even came out. It’s funny because in the actual song and ends up being more sarcastic, which makes sense as he was clearly joking here 😆

[@BLUEbalerbals]

Billie lied he later said basket case woz about himself he probly didnt want ppl to know
