Plimsouls were so good

[@Valaraukar8187]

Hell yeah they were.

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Yeah they where!😎👍

[@singersonspeakerphone2421]

This is actually a damn respectable cover !

[@terencenewlin5265]

When youre the Plimsouls and Greenday covers your song. 😮😮

[@LetsGoPack]

I love this song. Always reminds me of "Valley Girl"

[@zzzdomzzzify]

Totally!!

[@brianwaskow5910]

Closed my eyes and I was back in the 80's watching the Plimsouls at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, Ca.!!!!

[@michaelenders3600]

awesome!~

[@SCrepresent]

Dave & Louie use to work at our family owned record stores just before they started the band. It was called Best Records. Louie worked at the store in Anaheim & Dave worked at the Cerritos store. Maybe you've been in 1 of the stores. We also had one in Redondo Beach ✌️ What a time that was for me. We had quite a few musicians in our Cerritos store. Definitely a better time.

[@johnnytowelshoulder]

Ugh. He blows off the two best, most significant lines in the song: I'm at the wrong end of your looking glass Trying to hold on to the hands of the past and you

[@mhern57]

Right wrong time to get lazy on the verses

[@michaelenders3600]

This cover actually made me tear up! MISS these days! AWESOME!!

[@johnmcintyre1965]

1983 was a good year! Those were the Daze!!

[@reallifelebowski4732]

I loved Valley Girl

[@lewistasso8866]

Brings me back to my teens of the early 80s and the totally tubular Deborah Foreman!

[@TampaFanatic1]

Loved Valley Girl, great movie! Deborah Foreman was the bomb back then!

[@chrischamberlain836]

I still remember that movie word for word I think

[@daves4645]

Is this movie in 3D? No, but your face is.

[@scottjohnson8316]

I loathe Green Day and bja but good cover choice...... don’t ask me why I don’t them please..... hardcore folks never did

[@johnunderwood3132]

Me as well bro. Love and miss the 80’s

[@lizhill9030]

I just cannot love this enough!!

[@ericschultz920]

Awesome cover. But the Plimsouls Rule!

[@DavidMichaelKalman]

Great cover of one of my favorite songs.

[@nathannewman799]

see this is why i love KZbin - i had no idea this existed.

[@antonioortiz4544]

This is an amazing song. They do a good cover.

[@marksherman1887]

Just a great cover of an overlooked classic!

[@makula5543]

Love this song and great cover!

[@pegboy77]

I love this so much, i re-listen to them tuning up. Man, this is great, Dirnt really rocks that solo.

[@ryanedgcumbe8471]

Totally butch ! Great song from a movie we grew up with

[@scottyjoe22]

It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

[@robh6685]

This is a really great cover! Perfect

[@powerface71]

Not even close, the bass line was butchered!!! 3/10

[@annatomasik6927]

This is why I will always adore Green Day…..they do a brilliant cover of a Plimsols song

[@tallytorpin211]

Thank you for covering my favorite song. Watching it makes my day.

[@denabergman5847]

Totally tubular 🤘🏼

[@everythingiseverything6740]

Damn these guys are good! They should start a real band! lol I love that Mike D is on guitar!

[@quentincollins9338]

Great song and nice jacket Billie. Love it

[@patrickdecambra2219]

Best cover band ever

[@NitsaPeacelove]

You really get around and I am SO grateful to you! Thanks for more Billie during this dry season! 🤘🏼🖤

[@RabidSnot]

way way back in the early 90's used to go see these guys and watch em snort crank to get ready for the show all the while sitting out back drinking in the alley and waiting for the fun to commence.. those were some fun and crazy times. now I'm old and seeing it all come back around and enjoying my retirement in the old folks home. Love the Plimsouls and always been a big fan of theirs. Valley Girl was just a stepping stone. I'd heard em way before that dumb movie. actually that is Nicolas Coppola's best movie if you ask me.

[@StLProgressive]

This is amazing. I’ve loved this song since the first time I heard it, sneaking in to see Valley Girl since I was only 12 at the time. ‘Course Billie Joe was 11 that year. The man doesn’t age. 😂🖤

[@codystarr5779]

Holy Shit! They nailed it

[@johnmcintyre1965]

KILLED IT!

[@williamboehm5218]

What a great tune shit!

[@EzE33]

for the impatient, 2:44

[@RIOTNOOB]

This is RIOTNOOB saying I approve of this song.Best cover I have seen.

[@amya4998]

I love you BIllie joe Armstrong ❤️

[@caesarflickerman9880]

Very nice!

[@claytonvernon8793]

BANGIN'

[@troudecul69]

this is rock'n roll kids. take notes. (real fucking music)

[@davidg.9932]

I still have my Green Day ticket from 1997 Nimrod Tour at the Ogden Theater . Friday, November 28th 1997 First, second and third hand pot smoke.. Oh Sh*t.. Ahhhhh.. Memories ...

[@bcancun123]

Awesome cover 👏

[@josephpaul7280]

Nice job!!!

[@estebandegenaro6904]

Te amo Mike!!!!

[@beatlent1904]

Pretty good

[@Mike-sm2bf]

My ex-wife Christie. Looked just like Julie I miss our generation.

[@powerface71]

She is still just as beautiful as she was in the film, Deborah Foreman was perfect as Julie!

[@whoreshoe]

2:41 it starts.

[@selbstbewusstseincoaching]

very cool

[@WhiteNacho]

Good job!

[@anibalbabilonia1867]

Freaking cool!👌😎👍

[@thayc3262]

Great song. Look up Goo Goo Dolls version

[@jimie5320]

Billie looks like Tom Cruise jumped out of Risky Business to join the band!

[@bcancun123]

😂😂😂👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[@OmarAlohaDude]

Hey it’s the 40th street block party……. why wasn’t I invited ?

[@guidobrunellijr.3]

Julie !

[@Dakers11]

I'll get Lucky.

[@loricunningham2295]

Valley Grrrl

[@mindscramble8248]

2,000 light years away is still further.

[@chrisbwidney]

Enough intro

[@randymillhouse791]

Sound check is USUALLY done prior to the spectators entering the venue.

[@paulandre3250]

what guitar is billie joe's. it looks epic

[@iwillnevergetone5]

it's made by Rock N Roll relics. out of california i believe. looks like their Heartbreaker model in black w dot inlays instead

[@markrosenquist8259]

@@iwillnevergetone5 great guitars!

[@rangepuppies]

Eventually Billie Joe will look exactly like Gordon Gano of Violent Femmes.

[@rhill109]

I understand that a cover is never going to be like the original. Nor should they be. However, if you don't even attempt to play the hook, you've failed. I'm speaking of the the bass part during the instrumental break after the line "dreaming of the past". You had one job...

[@nuwavedave]

If he was dead, Peter Case would be rolling in his grave. Racing thru the song like they had to take a piss - sucked the soul out of it.

[@agungsuryasanjaya6412]

did somebody just say " coronavirus outbreak ? at 1:39

[@Sliver90]

bukan bro, tapi "play Nirvana song, please"

[@rbibbe34]

Lmao o no I hate 99.9% chance of survival

[@headlesssoldier]

kind of despise bill joe or whatever . but i love this song and they did it great

[@aoebill]

Excuse me?

[@somemadman262]

I mean, at least it's not 2000 light years

[@zzzdomzzzify]

from the sound track from one of my favorite movies as a teen VALLEYGIRL😢

[@shellysmith1037]

Eeewwww....Green Day.

[@americanpancakelive]

Nice cover but Peter Case is such a better singer than Billie Joe.

[@MRJIMMYJ03]

But isn’t a competition of singer 😅

[@stonefly69]

Pale version of the original...

[@glennsepelak5113]

Playing was very good, singing not so much
