------------------------------Do you have the time to listen to me whine
About nothing and everything all at once?
I am one of those
Melodramatic fools
Neurotic to the bone
No doubt about it
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid
Or am I just stoned?
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex that's bringing me down
I went to a whore
He said my life's a bore
So quit my whining 'cause it's bringing her down
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Grasping to control
So I better hold on
Sometimes I give myself the creeps
Sometimes my mind plays tricks on me
It all keeps adding up
I think I'm cracking up
Am I just paranoid?
Or am I just stoned?

I'm almost eighty years old and have just yesterday heard my first fantastic Tommy piece. Now, I can't get enough of his unlimited talent, his incredible voice and unequalled ability to produce fantastic guitar sounds.

[@djlowtek]

Something about 80 year olds listening to power metal that really warms my heart.

[@user-mq5dr1jh5t]

a little late but i am twenty years younger and my first tommy cover was phantom of the opera. subscribed immediately and have been hooked ever since

[@wetwillyis_1881]

Wake up, read email, get upset, watch Tommy, get happy. Thanks Tommy, you make life better, mate.

[@Mystic-WTF]

Green Day was one of my late son's favorite bands. I am going through some crazy emotions of nostalgia and the loss of him, in general. Thanks for sparking some very fond memories and for rocking out one of his favorites, Tommy. Peace and love sent your way, my friend. My best to your crew, as well. 🎶🎼🎸🎹🥁✌️🤘👍💙🥰🍷

[@hilalabbas]

Peace to you ❤🤘

[@Mystic-WTF]

@@hilalabbas Thank you so much. ✌️ It really means a lot as the one year anniversary of my son's passing is the 28th of this month...😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@SuperChallet]

Sorry for your loss!

[@Mystic-WTF]

@Tony Lorentsson Thank you for your kindness. The 28th is the one year anniversary of his passing. It's been a rough year, but he is no longer suffering, and that eases the pain just a little. Take care, and thank you again. ✌️

[@SuperChallet]

@@Mystic-WTF Yeah, must be tough anyway. However, there is always hope and a future. Even if I can't fathom what you have been through, I know that if you have come this far then you are strong enough to continue. So I wish you a pleasent weekend and to rock on 😊

[@MasterMichel]

This is my all-time favourite Green Day song. I gotta say though, this version is somehow even better! And it was a super unexpected but brilliant choice to add a bit of Pachelbel's Canon in D. Absolutely phenomenal! 🤘

[@kevindivine2869]

Green Day wrote it kinda over the top of the Canon sorta somewhat semi-intentionally in the first place.

[@knightdestiny4125]

Dude nah the og is the best

[@traumamed9449]

​@kevindivine2869 Check out Axis of Awesome's Four Chord Song. A disturbingly large number of huge hits from the era of modern mainstream music (the past 75 years or so) have their roots in the same chord progression as Canon.

[@SueWallace-jk5wr]

This song is so funny I had to listen to it again😂😂😂😂❤

[@leorgsYT]

Pachebel is happy with this version 😂❤

[@theoriginalmomomike2869]

Getting serious Christmas vibes from this cover. Maybe because of the Canon In D guitar riffs. As always, you never cease to impress. 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@liys540]

More like a wedding vibe

[@mpbenoit]

OP: Came here to say this

[@kubasliwa204]

It's probably mostly thanks to the major key, the celesta (I think?) and the tubular bells in the intro.

[@WatchingYou505]

I'm sixty-six years old and, since hearing Tommy for the first time a couple of months ago, I've been blown away by his videos. Each becomes my favorite until I watch the next. This, though, I think will be my favorite-favorite, because he uses "Canon in D" to open such a frenetic piece and, by golly, it works! I wonder what his full vocal range is--I suspect we haven't heard it yet.

[@babysbk1]

1.27 Andre Matos came in my heart , thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Green Day?! That is totally unexpected!!! Amazing!!! Can't wait to hear it! 🤩

[@jontenoren2711]

Totally agree.

[@guybaeyens2513]

This must have been major fun to perform and mix, just hilarious how a musical caricature (in the way Bach did it) combines with virtuosity and pays homage to an already tasty original. We envy you Tommy, thanks for sharing your lovely talent and please keep going!

[@markdemars7648]

Holy hell! Who would have thought a symphonic power metal take on a pop punk Green Day classic was possible? But honestly I definitely was wrong about the sound of it. And my friend, you have proved me wrong. Never thought it would work. Impressive.

Man I wish they'd make more power metal nowadays. Kids today keep calling bands like Sabaton "power metal". NO. NO. No fast tempo, no double base, no high vocals, no power metal. But this is GLORIOUS.

I love the way you have mixed Basket Case with Canon D. It's awesome!! Congratulations!!!

Hallelujah!

I love the way you turn pop (ABBA, Green Day) into metal. I also love how you turn metal (Sabaton) into Disney--sooooooo fun! Please do Tragedy (or anything else) by the Bee Gees. You certainly have the voice for it!!
