Billie Joe Armstrong “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” Acoustic (1998)

[@gooberthoreau]

I don't think Billie ever gets much credit for how consistently spot on his voice is even after all these years.

[@patrickbyron8952]

He is pitch perfect.

Crazy how a show seen as “low brow” by many has some of the greatest time capsule performances by bands that shaped the 90’s.

[@Dust80]

So very true

[@hippiecheezburger5457]

The Howard stern show will always be one of the best look at that legacy now amazing

[@knoccy]

@Ryan Dahl Yeah the music is great, but would we have really needed Howard Stern? Like, especially in that episode with Dave Grohl a lot of people just thought Howard was annoying.

[@TauCetiAurora]

Ryan Dahl I teared up when I heard the Dont Look Back In Anger performance. So glad they’ve uploaded these.

Billie’s voice is just amazing, the consistency is truly remarkable. Even now so many years later he still sounds just the same.

[@WJJ1961]

I dont think a lot of people realise how perfect a voice Billie Joe has. Always in key, always a rich tone. Amazing singer.

[@KantFromEC]

It could have released in any decade and it would have been a hit. Just a simple sounding perfectly constructed bitter sweet song.

He's a pretty bad interviewer, from what I've seen but can't disagree with that!

[@bruv1039]

Rude joke, rude joke... here we go, hurry and play that hit we all love. Winning formula I guess.

[@Disconnected.Genius]

I feel like this song is the opposite of bitter... it's earnest and gracious. The output transcends the input in songs like these, vis-a-vis Billie may have had a bitter heart but he channelled it into something practically divine.
