Green Day "Welcome to Paradise" Live on the Howard Stern Show

[@stravinskydylan]

Who ever mixed the sound on this show deserves a raise!

[@goodguyzacky3066]

drum sounds a bit imperfect, but yeah, the overall sounds great.

[@jody024]

Specially since it's uploaded on youtube....

[@BenGoslingFirelite]

too much snare bottom mic.

[@theonewhoknows2]

OmNimnom it's the accoustics of the room and being confined that give the drums the sound

[@Oliverlduffy]

Cymbals sound like shit though

[@D3spairFacTor90]

This has got to be one of the cleanest, best sounding live performance I've ever heard.

[@makaikawa7665]

Cooler King CVH Yes, but at the same time lacking energy. Guess its the radio enviorement.

Underrated Drummer Tre Cool

[@shikarifox4337]

Underrated? Only so because people refer to him as "that crazy drummer guy" without knowing his name.

[@user-oc1xp7rd8e]

Underrated jason white

He's amazing

They're all around 40 and they still can play like they did in 94. Amazing 🤘🏻

[@MisterDeadDoxx]

Jimmy Stradley well I mean besides for the change in Billie's vocals

jaded in chicago was fucking insane. they bring pretty good energy

saw them in Detroit 2001. Great live.

They still got it.

Man, these Howard Stern Show live performances sound great. Was checking Metallica's from the other day and it sounds great too. Love the mixing.

[@alexanderkundert5958]

HSS guitars?

[@hazmankamarzaman6519]

it sounds just the same as the album. or i would say better

[@rafaelfreitasgt]

You're right! It's awesome =)

[@fameliartunes844]

Camino de Regreso AWESOME

[@Intelli-gent01]

Right on, that fucking mixer deserves a raise. Surprised one of these bands hasn't poached him!!

[@tkelly830]

That Tom/Ride groove by Tre around 2:51 is one of my favorites. Its awesome to get a clear view of him doing it. He killed it as always.

[@eric13upinriop]

0:56 classic billy joe eyes 👊

[@flight4203]

Looks kinda like Paul McCartney there too if you think about it

[@Nova28105]

He’s just thinking

[@RobertJones-jp7ui]

Tight and what a great mix/sound.

[@_misterwilly]

Yeah seriously. These Stern live performances are surprisingly well mixed and clean. I hope they keep doing this stuff.

[@FelipeRodrigoX]

Robert Jones like a album record.

[@FelipeRodrigoX]

Like a album record hehe.

[@21darkster]

Robert Jones who is the dude to the left of billy? I've seen him with them on revolution radio tour but I can never find his name.

[@antonionsfw]

cheers for jeff matika

[@punkrockcheeseburger]

2:25 Howard's smile shows pure enjoyment of watching and hearing an amazing and flawless live performance from Greenday.

[@sammason189]

Omg! Tre Cool is such an incredible drummer, outstanding!!!

[@robinmuller3960]

I love how billie and Mike looking at each other and start smiling while playing welcome to paradise all they're old memories! :)

[@sonicjet7759]

This is how Green Day should sound live :) perfect audio mix and the clean loud sound of the vocals, the guitars, the bass, the drums and keyboards makes it perfect :) The Stern Rock N Roll Tapes

[@Csmitty125]

[@codygarland6365]

Not so much the drums. The Tom sound kinda sucks :/ but overall its pretty much perfect

"Welcome To Paradise" Dear mother, Can you hear me whining? It's been three whole weeks Since that I have left your home This sudden fear has left me trembling 'Cause now it seems that I am out here on my own And I'm feeling so alone Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise A gunshot rings out at the station Another urchin snaps and left dead on his own It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Dear mother, Can you hear me laughing? It's been six whole months Since that I have left your home It makes me wonder why I'm still here For some strange reason it's now Feeling like my home And I'm never gonna go Pay attention to the cracked streets and the broken homes Some call it slums Some call it nice I want to take you through a wasteland I like to call my home Welcome to paradise Oh, paradise

[@murphymoerf]

such an underrated drummer

[@bigbowlowrong4694]

What you’re witnessing here is pure muscle memory, almost no thought or effort goes into it after you play the same song thousands upon thousands of times over several decades. I guarantee you he could play this song in his sleep. Hell, he probably could have by the time they recorded it in 1994 lol

[@maxstigma3975]

1:58 Amazing! These guys still love playing in a band with each other! 2:09 #blushing

[@CeeRoyJenkins]

You wanna know how Billie's guitar sounds exactly as it ever has? Because that's the exact same guitar he's ever had.

[@_Steven_S]

Slightly different, Blue didn't have Graphtech saddles ;-)

[@DrumBuster16]

Steven S And no longer having a Bill Lawrence L-500XL :D

He's not on speed anymore.

[@dayshawna]

Beckam Nguyen he isn’t a drug head now lmao

[@PersonMan1]

Prob because hes been doing it for a long time idk

[@lavenderllamamusic]

replying to a 2 year comment, i know 😂 but i was thinking the same thing. I'm gonna speculate that he was just taking it easy since this isn't their typical arena/venue performance so no need for him to give it 200%

[@gopistons4]

Beckam Nguyen He used to seriously punch that thing

[@chrisarias4055]

Billie joe has found the fountain of youth

Billy is one of the best guitarist and singer at the same time, in all punk rock bands of decades, really.

[@DavesInsanityIsEPIC]

I love this song, it's great.

[@Cheezumz002]

Damn, compare Trè in this to their Holiday performance. He craves the old punk songs, and he hasn’t slowed down. His arms and wrists are just as strong as ever.

All live music should strive to be as good or better than the recording.

That's his original guitar he head way when he first started green day

plays it at every show!

Chewing gum and singing , now that's talent! Oh and Tre is so awesome as well ! Love his bad ass drumming! Lol

why is billie chewing gum while performing?? 😂

[@cantlearnham6026]

Um. Because he's punk.

[@thatoneguy5780]

[@Enforcer1984]

Think it helps from dry mouth and stuff ?

[@PikachuYoshiPines164]

Lol Idk Maybe to help with stress? That's what I do. Or he just likes gum. Who knows. Lol

[@nilly666]

its to help with dry mouth like someone else has said, saves him from having to get water in between every song, lots of big vocalists do it, ive noticed dave grohl does it as well.

[@ReadingAreaRailfan]

This is the closest ive ever heard billies voice to sounding like he was when he was young I've ever heard. Awsome man

awesome as always....I'm 41 years old - and Green Day easily is one of the top 5 bands I've ever seen live. (Strictly talking live show/sound/performance - the whole "shabang") What your guys' top 5 LIVE bands you've seen... my list is as follows (and this can be tough, because in lots of cases, you're leaving our artists that are your favorites, etc, etc - bottom line is the LIVE show does something to you and you know it when you're there, and typically for the rest of the night and next day after that you witnessed some amazing music. 1. Nine Inch Nails 2. Whores. 3. Isis 4. Fisbone 5. Radiohead Honorable mention : Dillinger Escape Plan, Faith No More, Beastie Boys (rip), Bad Brains, Explosions in the Sky, Quicksand, Fantomas
