Green Day came through my town in 1995-ish. My friend and I drove 30 miles to go to the show and didn't have tickets or money to get in. We just stood out behind the venue and listened through the open back door. There were other "kids" there doing the same, and the little group of us had a fun night. At one point, Billy Joe came out back and spotted us and looked surprised, but smiled and waved, then turned around and peed on the building before going back in to finish the set.

[@joelrojas3601]

[@unworthy1582]

It is time to get right with Jesus. You aren’t going to automatically enter into heaven if you have lied or stolen or had premarital sex. Even one of those makes you worthy of hell fire. Don’t deceive yourself! The punishment of sin is hell fire. Jesus died so you can get a clean slate and forgiveness of a future sin when we confess it. When you start to follow him you have to strive to obey what he commands. No one will enter heaven without the blood of Jesus. No other way but through Jesus

@ BabeInChrist fire is pure. Purity is truth. Heaven has no fire. Heaven needs no fire. Heaven has no truth.

I bought cassettes every week back then and came across Dookie and bought it based on the cover art and album name. Such a great album in its time

[@MrJett1971]

It’s a great album in ANY time.

[@letterfella]

Bless you for mentioning the artist who did the inlay illustrations, I recently went down a rabbit hole trying to find out who it was and was saddened when I discovered the lack of recognition for him and his artwork! Rad content!

[@chrisramirez2340]

I got my 1st copy of Dookie in 2000. All the music I was around I wasn't into, all the rap and hip hop wasn't for me. But I was a huge gamer, I had a Dreamcast at the time, and I was playing a lot of Crazy Taxi. The Crazy Taxi sound track featured Bad Religion and the Offspring, and from there went down the punk rock rabbit hole and found Green Day and Dookie. Green Day is my all time favorite band.

[@monbroe2806]

Lol the crazy taxi soundtrack was sick!

[@banjofett3949]

Crazy Taxi is an awesome game. Good times

[@AdvancedLiving]

I worked at an electronics store in Emeryville which was right next to Berkeley. After work we would go out drinking and I saw Green Day maybe about 5-10 times during that period. It was pretty much just as you described it. Lots of BO, sweat and leather on Gilman Street. Those were the days…

[@DerInspektor]

My sister got that album, so many great memories.

[@Kinnakeeter]

I remember seeing the video for Longview in 1994 and being knocked on my ass! I love the energy, the power, the subject matter, everything! I was 14 when this came out and now I'm 42, I still relate to the lyrics

[@msmoniz]

I discovered Green Day in 94 from their Letterman or Leno performance (I can’t remember). I was hooked. They sounded like an updated version of The Ramones; punk energy with massive catchy hooks! I’m glad then that I still have my original CD pressing with the Ernie on the back cover!

[@peterogrodnick5693]

The first album I ever bought (with allowance money) when I was 11 years old. This album, changed. my. life. It really opened my eyes to music at a young age, and though I’m not a huge Green Day fan any more, I still pay respect to them as a band for this record.

[@jjmah7]

Their live in Chicago show on MTV is what did it for me. Loved them ever since

[@Awesomebaconman123]

Wish you'd made more mini-docus like this

[@Ireful]

OMG I was watching the Woodstock 94 concert this morning on the day you posted this video. Reminded me how it was like the peak of rock and roll in the 90's. I first learned of Greenday on a Beaves and Butthead episode on the Longview music video commentary. When you mentioned about Ernie on the back of the album, I had to rush to check my CD collection, relieved to see that Ernie is on the back.

[@scottishisaac2497]

Dookie is such a great record!

[@jeenkzk5919]

I remember first hearing Longview on 94.5 KDGE here in Dallas. KDGE alone deserve a documentary as they were introducing DFW to alternative rock that no one else was playing…..yet. I was 17 in ‘94. Definitely a good time to be a teen!

[@DomsGuitarGear]

I used to stare at the cover while it played in my dads 85 suburban when I was 6/7 years old in 2006/7. Still one of my favorites to this day and one of the inspirations to pickup guitar!

[@anthonyriche552]

Their Woodstock performance still gives me chills. It was a muddy and miserable day but they created a moment that will never be forgotten.

[@damienfallon8980]

In 93 I was moving to college and saw the Longview video and I was hooked. I wore Dookie out at Florida State and I can tell you I turned so many people on to Greenday in early 94. Still love that album.

Excellent job, geek. This was really well put together and I love your enthusiasm. Dookie and Insomniac were among the first music I latched onto as a young kid. Before I was even really a music fan.

[@johncrigger4694]

Somehow my friend Justin was always current on pretty much anything cool happening. He had the dookie CD and I listened to it. Needless to say, I loved it and I became a way bigger fan than he did. I tried to catch the When I Come Around video on MTV with my dad (what a good sport) and it didn't come on. I recall buying the cassette and practically wearing out my Walkman. One time in particular, I had gotten back to the high school from an away soccer match and just remember listening to it while waiting on a ride. It was so peaceful. Those days are missed.

[@kimackerman2183]

What a coincidence that I'm wearing my Dookie shirt at the moment😅 this is such a great video!

[@cosimo1319]

You should talk about warning, I know it’s unlikely that people will see this comment because not many people know about this album, but please trust me when I say that it’s a fantastic record. The best way I can describe it is kind of like if dookie grew up, and looked back on things with a more mature perspective. The songs all have some really interesting lyrics and it’s 100% worth your time. Cheers!

I didn't dig the album at 15. I get it at 37.

[@joshflynn1831]

My first experience with this album needs a little back story, I was 9 when I first heard green day and the first song I heard was Boulevard of Broken dreams in 2004, I begged my mum to buy me the album, which she did, then I fell In love with it, so I then asked for dookie as I’d heard that album was also amazing, and I had my dad get a copy of it from his friend, and then he bought me an MP3 player for my birthday that only had enough room for about 40 songs and dookie and American idiot were the only two albums I had on it, I love green day and they’ve got me through the toughest of times, so this album, among many of their albums have a place in my heart and I hope one day if/when I have kids that I’ll be able to spread the joy this album brought me on to them

This album came out when I was a freshman in high school and it was my soundtrack to my life that year through the summer. Got to see them that year June 1994 at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mtn. View CA. To this day there are still times a song from this album will come on during a certain time of day and it will vividly bring me back to those times of my life, it's crazy how music does that sometimes.

[@rocdocs]

Very cool to see you expanding to different bands and genres

[@nickparadies350]

Green Day was the band that got me into music, I started with American Idiot in middle school and then went down the rabbit hole, Dookie was the next step. When I started my first band we spent a lot of time learning Basket Case and When I Come Around. Good times.

[@Daniel_Addy]

My first experience with Dookie was on a school ski trip to France, late 1994/early 95 - all the kids from the year above had it on a ghetto blaster at the back of the coach non-stop… absolutely awesome to hear at 14 years old driving through France ✊🏻

Being almost the same age as Billie , it never crossed mind how old they were when Dookie came out . It was just awesome music . I look back now and think maybe thats why i felt so attached to their music going through the same things in life at the time . Billie put it into words and made you feel what it was like growing up in that era as a confused kid trying to make it through life .
