Man I met Billie joe, mike, and Tre at the tiki bar with the interrupters in Costa Mesa (they were playing as the cover ups) and they were the nicest dudes. I bought a ticket for my birthday and wore an op Ivy shirt, and met someone outside who gave me a “back stage” pass. Mike and I talked for an hour or so and Billie came over with my friend, ended up having drinks with them until 4am. We found a jacket and Billie was just like “here it’s cold” and let me have it. Pretty cool memory.
So Billie is drinking again?
@@juliacosta7003 seems like it
That's awesome
I hope something like this happens to me in my life
Man you are lucky that's awesome
Kerplunk and Insomniac are 2 of their most underrated albums ever.
fucking FACTS.
Kerplunk is fucking great
NOBODY says that. lol
With nimrod being their best.
Fact Insomniac is heavier Green Day album
Spotify REALLY shot themselves in the foot when they chose to abandoned video content like this. This was honestly something that should have continued.
I think spotify is doing just fine.
@@boofert.washington2499 yea I’m sure that’s what they’re basing their success and trajectory on 👍🏻

Dookie was one of those albums that seemed like it was part of the soundtrack of life at the time.
very much. was there.
Sure did. Thought they wrote it for me
That era of the 90s had a lot of albums like that. Weezer's Blue album, NIN's Downward Spiral are other ones that come to mind right away
Absolutely agree
Definitely
Bruh, that kid getting them to play J.A.R. and then absolutely killing it is one of the best things I've ever seen.
Ikr!
J. A. R. is by the way so fucking underrated.. .. god i love that Song.
@@passi951 Yeah, it's so underrated!
@@lambandham l
I freaking love JAR
As both an animator, and a huge Green Day fan, I gotta say, those animated intros were amazing
Came here to say how amazing the animations are! They're stellar! So fluid and organic. Love 'em.
8p A
thanks
“As a... blah blah blah.”
Gotta say we have the same personality
I will give Green Day 100% credit for getting me into punk music. The first time I saw them was the Basket Case video on MTV. SUCH a breath of fresh air for me. It was fast, melodic, catchy, snotty. I think I went to to the record store the same day or maybe the next day to buy Dookie. Many punk bands say Green Day sold out, but I would have never even knew those bands if it wasn't for Green Day. XD
The fact that you're still around says a lot about your love of the music, hopefully you didn't neglect the many other great bands not as well known. You'll have missed something special if you did
pop punk
@@MrMikeq21 What do you mean with "pop punk"?
I didn't miss out because I'm still finding new to me but old to time bands like the Detroit spinners .
pop punk is something that was designed for a market. remember when we heard new band and people would say that's sound shit, but we liked it, before the mainstream marketing told them to like too.
well i didn't expect fat mike and ed sheeran in the same documentary
And also ed sheeran only likes them probably for their acoustic graduation type song they did I forget what it was called.
@@Robert-dx4wv Lmaoo it’s time of your life good riddance
@@timothykaras1837 Yah I know I just didn't really like that song.
pause the video at 14:47 and you will get another surprise
@@forgetownnnnn Bullshit
I’ve said it for years!!! Tre’ took Green Day to another level!!
of course. Same for Dave grohl from Nirvana
@@pedrotuliogomesfurtado9063 great comparison, they’re both perfect examples of how much a drummer can change a band especially dynamically
First album is best IMO. And the first drummer was great also!
@@Joe-kt7zp yes!! al sobrante!! aka filthyfrank
a great drummer will do that...
They were always meant to be this fucking big. Billie’s writing at 15 is still so timeless. And the way they still connect with their audience like it’s their civic duty. Holy hell. I have a savings account solely dedicated to seeing them live. Lol
27:26 this is exactly what Green Day and Punk did for me. As a young adopted Asian kid growing up in a fairly wealthy Caucasian part of NYC, I didn't feel I knew who I was, what I liked, where I fit in, etc - I felt like an outsider, I felt like an alien in my own skin. Hearing Longview on the radio was the first time I felt like I maybe understood who I was. side note: Pansy Division has some of the best album/record names.
I agree. Different backstory but I always felt misunderstood in my circumstances and hearing Nimrod at age 9 in 2004/2005 changed my life forever. They made me feel like I wasn’t alone and still do to this day. Man I wish to meet them and hangout with them someday.
Holy crap, how am I just seeing this now?
JUMP UP KICK BACK WHIP AROUND AND SPIIIIIIIIIIN
sorry to be so off topic but does anyone know a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was dumb lost my account password. I would love any tricks you can offer me
@Joe Jermaine Instablaster ;)
I’d just like to sincerely thank KZhead for including this video in my feed.
Man Green Day transcends all kinds of barriers; I was an immigrant kid who didn’t speak English and the first time I heard them, the sound itself blew my mind.
Mike and Billy point to Tre at the same time saying "Yep. Him. He's the one."
Ahhh Greenday brought to you by Hundai.
My 1st punk show was in 91 and Green Day was the headliner. This was in Sioux Falls SD at the Nordic Hall. In 92 when Kerplunk came out I arrived at the show ( my 3rd time now seeing them ) super early and I purchased the CD and I asked them all to autograph it. They all did, Mike was hesitant bc he was a little embarrassed that I asked. I still have that CD to this day. It was awesome to get to interact with them, hang out back stage. Mike was showing me the new bass he was going to play that night, it was a Rickenbacker. The stage was super small so you were right in front of them while they played. Getting to watch this video brought back so many great memories to when I was around 13yrs old as a punk rocker/skateboarder.
wow what a awesome memory to have
Never forget Tony Sly sticker on the gilman street sign.
I love early Green Day...they will always be Sweet Children to me
Remember when?
This is a public service announcement ,this is only a test. Thank you!
It's amazing how their music is completely timeless. Songs written when they were idk 17 meant everything to me when I was that age and helped me so much. And that will keep going on...
Their songs and music pretty much energized me throughout my whole highschool life. They're the best for me
I was 11 in 1994 and it was the year that changed my young life. Green Day shaped me and I've never forgotten what made me.
I just LOVE it when they bring an audience member up on stage.🥰🥰🥰. It's something that, that person will NEVER forget. Especially if they are quite good, and nail it.!😲!.
It's also some sort of training for people in bands who haven't had the chance to play in front of big crowds yet. And it's great that bands do that
Kia boys have entered the chat
I've heard people say bands like Green Day and Blink 182 killed punk by selling out. When in fact all they did was bring to the surface the cracks that had already formed in the punk community. Tribes had formed and so did stupid, heated rivalries. The 90's exposed to the normies in the general public that the "Punk Community" was a very fractured community. Punk was never really primarily about the music style itself. It can be heavily argued Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson etc. were punks. Not by the music style, but the attitude they carried.
All last Gen-ers hate the current Gen of punk, and it’s a mostly punk thing with hip-hop/rap being a very close replica of the same oddity. It’s a shame.
@@leonardwright7528 Who are you again? I lost my bumper list of morons.
Punk is an attitude , being different from the mainstream just being different from everyone else, being you , yourself and nothing else!! Music is just one of the many forms of expressing it !!!
Blink-182 had a bad influence on music IMO. Green Day was way better.
@@wilnewman5372 Sadly it's not sustainable if those exact beliefs, bands, clothes become popular because they are great. They are then by definition mainstream. The definition eats itself and shows that it's a bit of a silly teenage but understandable attitude.
I havent even been a fan for that long. I started really listening like a month ago, they have already changed my life. I am so grateful for them
Welcome to the Idiot Nation ❤️
@@whispwhiskey7164 Thank you🖤 I am an even bigger fan now☺
@@pandoraberg AWESOME 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Welcome to the club!
Man I loved green day as a kid. They were massive in England as well. For me there was GNR when I was 8/9 then Nirvana then Green day and Oasis. Green day I felt closest to though. And it’s crazy that they made such a comeback later on with ‘American idiot’ some kids didn’t know ‘dookie’ they were like ‘what’s this old man on abou? Dookie? He’s messed up”
Did you like stuff like subhumans or GBH?
Exact same set of bands as me (born 83), Dookie, Nevermind & Nimrod were the soundtrack to my early teens. Appetite & the Use Your Illusions records were my gateway drug after being brought up on Zeppelin & Hendrix by my Dad. Your comment triggered some cool memories. Cheers my dude.
Corbett Redford's statement around the 35:00 mark is spot-on. I was 4 years old when Dookie came out. My dad bought it on cassette, and I instantly fell in love with that tape - so much so that my parents gave me my own little walkman for Christmas that year, so I could play a dubbed copy of Dookie (with all the "shit"s and "fuck"s meticulously edited out by my dad) in my bedroom. It was the first music that really made an impact on me, and was my first introduction to punk rock. I owe a lot to my dad for his bringing home some really great albums during my formative years that shaped my taste in music to this day - Bad Religion's All Ages compilation (which was the second album I asked him to put on a blank tape for me), the Clash's London Calling, the Replacements' Tim and Pleased To Meet Me... he also gifted me a copy of the AllMusic Guide To Rock, which was still in book form at that point (1997 edition, and close to a thousand pages!) and which I devoured... ultimately, though, it all goes back to Green Day for me.
I got to play with green day in Atlanta at the Hella mega tour. I cannot express how much this band changed my life and instilled values that I carry with me as a player and in my own local scene. This band truly changed my life and ill never be more thankful for having them around
Green day was the first band I loved. Ive been on stage with them and anyones argument will be forever invalid!
Green Day is my favorite Band , When I have a bad day I just turn on the music so loud and wow ! HAHAHAHA Green Day is my religion ✨
From 1994 till now green day song still remains on my music list 🤘
Thanks for re-uploading this, loved it
Been a fan for 20+ years! Great documentary
Great video! I got to see Green Day about 3 years ago in Zurich. I couldn’t believe how captivating they were. I’ve loved them since Dookie and they keep getting better.
I saw pansy division with the Riverdales & greenday on their insomniac tour right before they canceled it because of exhaustion. Fun fact.. it was filled with so much weed smoke I literally thought I was gonna pass out lol
6:54 u welcome
Thanks for the upload. Amazing.
Green Day was the first band I ever listened to when I was like 9 completely changed my life forever
Same!!
You never heard a band play before that? That's odd. Which Mormon town did you grow up in?
Been listening to Green Day since 2 they where a big part of my life
I have to thank my daughter for introducing me to Green Day back in about 2008. On a long car trip, after listening mainly to my regular rock music, my 16 year old daughter asked to put some of her music on....first song into a green day album (not sure which one it was) I said out loud, holy fucking shit !, who the fuck is this?...it's so me!. The rest is history and I listen to their span of music from the start right up to now...also love playing their songs on my drums and Stratacaster. BTW: I'm now 55 years old.
Damn thats sooo good ! Green Day changed my life and this doc is great🙏🌎🍀
Wow,I grew up in the early/mid nineties and this doc really brings back a lot of memories!
39/Smooth. Recorded, mixed, mastered and printed for roughly $1,000. Written and performed by 16/17 year olds. I think back to being 17 and there's no way I could have written those lyrics, those melodies, nothing. I don't think I could pull it off at 37. You listen back to those early EPs and LPs and you can just sense they had a handle on it. Like it was just a matter of time. The best thing that ever happened to me was Green Day signing to Reprise. My record collection thanks them for signing that contract.
Saw Green Day in 03. They were amazing live and so much fun with the audience playing on stage was so cool.
First saw these guys in 1993 when they came to the UK. Went to a London show in a small downstairs room with hardly anyone in the audience and the next day in a extremely small and once disused toilet in Tonbridge. They were brilliant, 7+ years younger than me but that didn't matter. I knew they would become something special.
But he didn't wash his hands! Buddy didn't wash his hands! Awesome documentary though..
Yeah...
he even kinda just shakes off his hands after ewwww
Just skin
I always like Christie Road since the first time I heard 20 years ago
Animation is great in this .keplunk was my jam as a kid. They were the band that realy made me say.. I gota be in a band. Thank you
Enjoyed this! Nice one
Love the animations!
Its always the original drummer that gets lost along the way
Because if you have a great band but a shitty drummer- you have a shitty band. If you have a mediocre band but a GREAT drummer you have a good band. Period.
3 great examples- Green Day Blink 182 and the best example of all- Nirvana.
Alex at 44:58 is in a band called Sarchasm, check em out. The guitarist and I followed each others bands for years and finally got to play a show together in Lincoln, NE in early 2020. Crazy how Green Day and the culture from 924 Gilman inspired a kid like me from Kansas City, MO. Very thankful.
Ah, man, Christie Rd, what a tune. Always been blown away by the sheer song writing talent of Bille Joe but that song at that age. So good.
Green day is the top of my list among old bands that i've known. It's easy to play and very catchy.
Working security when these guys played Columbus a few years back. Met alot of assholes but these guys were really nice and down to earth. Seemed very aware of support staff and appreciative of them and their fans.
Amazing.
Love this so much! Greetings from Austin, TX 🤘🏽❤️🎸
I’m from Austin too!
@@nimrod8613 yo that’s sick! Stay safe out there 🤘🏽🎸
@@joshplaystheguitar thanks you too
Dallas 🖤
Thats awesome they pulled kids out of the audience and let them rock out Too rad
I'm now 43 years old and was at that show in Spokane.
Just love...
great film
This was an excellent biography 😄😅😀😁😆😂🤣There GREAT😄😅😀😁😆😂🤣
Seems like so much fun 😍
4:04 And there she is! The girl with the Ernie puppet on the back of Dookie!
This was the first band I heard as a kid and said.....yep I like this.those first 4 albums were so good,I replayed them over and over,I saw them play in WA, my sister won tickets off the radio for me,and it changed my life,ppl hate this band,I even said bad shit but I am so glad they made it big, it was never selling out as far as I'm concerned, they were so tight as a band,they wrote great songs and played them well
Best band ever .
so fun. i was 20 in 1994. lifes never been the same. Grateful
love it
Great to watch. I do believe a sullen riot is now penetrating through my mind. :-)
COOL!
Awesome
Greenday for life
Green day for president 2021
I missed Op Ivy by a couple of years, but my first shows at 924 Gilman st. were watching Green Day play those first two records. Along with Mr. T Experience, Scweasel, The PeeChees, Tilt, Schlong, Oiler, AFI, Screw32, and Generator which would eventually become Rancid. Great times. EdIT: JAWBREAKER!!
Buying Dookie on Cassette tape at 6 years old changed my life more than any other piece of music ever. As i grew up i got into the alt/indie rock cannon from the 70's/80s/90s....golden age hip hop....and I Spin Techno and Drum and bass on vinyl.....But Dookie will always be the record that started it all for me......
Dookie made me learn guitar and drums... Basket case AMAZED me... Also WHEN I come
"the great thing about being in a band is you get to do anything you want." *shows billie peeing in a trash can* 😂😂😂
i love green day but i went though this in the 80s with groups like the clash stiff little fingers sham 69 etc etc etc im 53 now and still love the same music that makes me feel a certan way from puck to emo and rock i play a lot on lil peep these days as his stuff is so good rip lil peep have a great year guys and girls we love music because it makes us feel good and long may it carry on
The animations are f*cking awesome 0:46 11:09 21:22 34:48 Artist: Burak Şentürk
If you like this you should watch the Turn it Around documentary. It's much more expansive and shows how the bay area scene was a lot more than just Green Day.
Sure, Turn It Around just happened because Green Day was collecting material to share their story and notices thet the story of the scene they came from should be told too
The animations are so awesome
I love all there old stuff but September ends came out during hurricane katrina n I was going through something n that song really helped me through it
Cool seeing so many clips from the AAC show. If you look in the background you can see some of the stars players’ banners which is fun, either way though the green fits the band well!
John "saran-man" K. Anyone remember the skate hut in Rhode island? Terry L. remembers. Mr. Pritchard thank you for inviting me to be your 3rd drummer. What a blast!
The animations are awesome
Berkeley has 924 Gilman. Portland HAD Satyricon. Thankful to have played both beautiful shit holes.
Hell yeah Portland baby
Satyricon, holy crap! Haven't heard that name in years. Wow. Thanks for the memories.
This is a cool movie !
Husker Du really were the precursors to Green Day. The right band at the wrong time. Green Day were the right band at the right time. Timing is everything.
Thomas playing, I witnessed that IN PERSON!!! It was awesome!!!
This is greate
indeed, GrEaTE
Cool vid....
They were one of my Woodstock 94 highlights...
@ 45:38 “The thing that I learned from Gilman was; it didn’t tell me what to think, it told me to think “ - Billie Joe Armstrong
But then they brutally banned him from the club for being too successful. Even though Dookie wasn't really any less punk than Kerplunk and was actually a little harder.
Actually all the backlash was that the club was made for independent bands that have nowhere else to play, once they signed a major it makes sense that they were no in need of that space to keep playing, leaving that space for other bands. I understand they were pissed off because of all the criticism, because that place was their second home, but that is how the """punk scene""" works unfortunatelly... there is always a bunch of ungratefull people who things the bands are they own property and once they start making a life of their own art they become "sellouts"... it's stupid. As Overkill79 said, Dookie wasn't less punk thank Kerplunk (actually, to me, this is thw two GD's records that are sounds more close), and Insomniac too. In november 18th, 1992, the band debuted a lot of Dookie songs at a secret show at Gilman, and if you check that live recording, you will see that the album turned out exactly the same it was when the band we living they east bay punk scene times... so, it's completely stupid all the hate the band got from the people back then
@@greendayplay Yep they could have made the exact same album only in a cheaper studio for Lookout and everyone would have loved it. And then add to that the fact that the original punk bands The Ramones & the Sex Pistols were both on major labels and it makes it even more ridiculous.
The sound quality on dookie is top flight. Very well produced.
Someone should make a movie about Green Day
One of my earliest memories is sitting in my moms car, and hearing boulevard of broken dreams on the radio
the best thing I learned is billie doesn't wash his hands after pissing
How is Billie's insanely unique and bad ass guitar strumming style not mentioned? He was a BEAST
Yeah, he inspired me to strum like punk rock. His badass strumming style is so cool
You mean, he IS a beast.
We're on top of everything right now
Saw them on their first UK tour at the Euston Rails Club (Dec 91 I believe) and bought Kerplunk from Billy on the stairs of the club (it was a dive pub lol) and thought these guys are fucking amazing
nice
