[@Julsboo45]

I love how Billie Joe has this magnetic charisma on stage and seems so loud and outgoing and yet when you see him off-stage, especially without Mike and Tre, he actually seems a little shy and awkward

[@AminaFassil]

he literally said "you know" 598 times! gutta love himmm

[@asifa.993]

we should thank him for saying , and you for counting xD :P

[@AminaFassil]

Asif A. aahaha

[@ryanmcdaniel9206]

Asif A. He says ya know ten time by 117 seconds lol

[@piepie-vj6gg]

Amina Fassil you counted?

[@LoRdUnItUrT]

drinking game: every time Billie Joe says 'you know' take a drink

[@LoRdUnItUrT]

That's the point xD

[@LoRdUnItUrT]

omg no thats mean xD

[@getnaenaed99]

More like suicide game

[@onearmedwampa]

How about a game where you find vids of Billie Joe without this overdone, copy/pasted comment?

[@michaellarrick8881]

You’ll be hammered in 5 minutes

[@joshuatriola6840]

the amount of comments about BJ saying "y'know" is equivalent to the amount of times he actually said it.

[@DaddyDinkus]

Bille- when you are playing live in front of thousands of people y'know Me- no i dont know Love ya billie

[@PeibolDino]

You know, I´m Billie Joe, you know

[@ZeptUpGaming]

2:42 HOLY SHHH

[@marcocarretero4190]

I thought that it was my phone fucking up!

[@tasya8923]

HOLY SHIT !

[@valkyr3403]

LMAOOO i was searching to see if anyone noticed that too wtf that shit was loud

[@charliep123]

My heart skipped a beat

[@MercedesAmyx]

Billie Joe is a true genius. I never knew how truely intellectual he was until now.

[@AnnaKrivenko]

Billie is living proof that you don't have to graduate high school and have a masters degree to be smarter and more intelligent than 99% of the population.

[@vitaminc4972]

+Alisa Krivenko what does being famous for music have to do with being more intelligent that 99% of the population

[@joshuagoodger2451]

+corey stanford he's a really intelligent man...

[@sketchtastic2646]

+corey stanford she never mentioned fame and music

[@feliciajohnston4877]

+corey stanford , it's not because he is famous listen to him speak. He is very intelligent not to mention his artistic , and musical abilities which is also a form of intelligence. Wow ...

[@coolconfuzer]

hes nuts. thats how he did it.

[@RecreationalCarrot]

Interview starts at 11:10

[@punksidegamingdrummingandg5156]

+Mike Miller ty

[@audrey7501]

thank goodness I started reading these in the beginning

[@zachmatthews9654]

DUDE!!! You’re a life saver!!!

[@InfinitePisces]

Billie Joe is a treasure. He is talented in so many ways. I love his mind and hearing him speak.

[@Raisume24]

Billie joes philosophy on life is fucking perfect.. I love how mesmerized I get when I read the lyrics from "American Idiot" from the hard hitting in your face kind of "This is who I am" song like "Saint Jimmy" to the sadder, darker more emotional song like "Whatsername" I'm just in awe of this whole album.. I love the structure, I love Billie's interpretation of life, and y'know.. it's absolutely surreal. Green Day, and Billie Joe Armstrong really make life make sense for me.

[@lewischristian2]

2:42 holy fuck my ears plz no I'm alone in a dark basement

[@gregclarkreasons]

+christian lewis gahhhhhhh, I read this about 10 seconds prior to the moment.. so I listened closely #fail

[@lewischristian2]

Greg Clark​great job

[@emmyj.3575]

omg I read this at the same time it happen

[@Laraisthebomb1212]

Lets just take the time to acknowledge how attractive billie looks. Not that its unusual.

[@heathermartin2631]

I love Billies eyes!

[@chantalchantalpriya5167]

I do to

[@audrey7501]

Joe is such an intelligent passionate badass being

[@sterlinggames1025]

When asked the question after 1:07:00, what character he'd most like to play, it's funny, because they're planning out Billie Joe playing St. Jimmy right then.

[@lilaquill]

The reason to love Greenday is because they are true to who they are - unique-. That's my favorite quality of Billie Joe and gane.

[@Philosphyfanatic]

That was amazing!!! Billie Joe Armstrong will always be my favorite influence!

[@co1937]

I have been watching a lot of Green Day lately including listening to these interviews. Poor Billy Joe. He was

[@hellolynnadams1495]

I fast forward it to only when BJ is talking.

[@Jenzny]

love billie joe's voice. (and so much more about him)

[@lolgal1996]

If I had a dollar for everytime he said y'know.

[@lolgal1996]

adriel pullen That's why I wish I DID get a dollar for each time he said "y'know".

[@PAQUIRA_TV]

😂😂

[@IbegtoDreaM95]

I could listen to him for hours and hours...how can this man say just what I think, what a big part (or maybe the minority) of this generation think...??? Keep writing your brilliant songs, Billie!!!

[@ryangeoffrey6323]

Y`know Billie Joe is a best y`know

[@TiaraForAKing]

After watching the whole video I felt like a winner c: I'm so proud of what Green Day has become :)

[@obsessivefrog]

lol! He says "You Know" so often, it's funny! xD

[@JulioMuhammad]

Whenever you listen to a incredibly good song, you can perceive that from just the 1st five seconds! *watch?v=TCnlGhlXXBw* Just isn't it amazing? Thumbs up if you happen to dig it!!!

[@TheRexHo54]

Billie is such a cool guy - I love him!

[@kennyhotz17]

Anybody who thinks Green Day's not punk really needs to hear Billie's idea vision of what it means to him. Because what he described is what it's really all about.

[@mecpratt]

That was awesome! Glad to have the record set straight on a few things. Man, i saw the show at Berkeley Rep but now i feel like i gotta watch it again... Thanks guys!!!

[@julier2212]

Billie looks so good here... I don't mind him with the guyliner and the hairdos either, but personally I always thought he doesn't really need them. He's a naturally handsome man, and I think they kinda distract from it.

[@LavenderSugarPie]

Nahh, we are here for the eyeliner babe. The man's fine as fuck any which way but the eyeliner makes it special.

[@MrBeberikata]

[@ChoskarChulian]

At last Gollum has overcome his lust for his "preciiiioussss" and is now a wealthy and socially accepted interviewer on theatre.

[@LittleFreak241]

I like how billie just nods and smiles at the end (x

[@heathermartin2631]

"I'm attached to the chic I guess"

[@misfitdoll23]

Y'know, I just seriously love this man. :)

[@reaperluvr6984]

[@christianalmli9085]

[@julialinden5025]

He's always been a shy guy, just in some interviews he's better at hiding it than others

[@LittleFreak241]

[@sterlinggames1025]

what he said 35 minutes in about Michael Esper is also true for Casey O'Farrell, playing Will now, when I saw it a couple weeks ago i sat right in front of his couch and watching him was hilarious.
