This is a very punk attitude ngl
The first time I saw Greenday in 1994, they had the audience decide between two guys to play one song. When I saw them again after they became the major band of the era, they did the same thing but a little different. Still one of the fans got to get on stage, play BJ’s guitar and for sure a wonderful moment.
All that said, considering the way punks think, this is probably just the most recent shenanigans. I am willing to bet that someone started to play Freebird long before someone attempted to sneak in Wonderwall
Would actually be funny if someone were to try and play some of the George Harrison Wonderwall
Green Day is as punk as Nickleback is metal.
(I know it’s gate keeping but I can’t help myself)
they’re more punk than the fucking butter ad sell out brexit loving sex pistols
don’t gatekeep punk
greenday is totally punk
The only gatekeeping allowed in punk is the one that keeps nazis out.
Fuck nazi punks
💯
They uses to do “knowledge” by operation ivy regularly. The bands were old friends from the east bay punk scene and the cover was like a tribute. A 3 chord banger that anyone could play and the crowd would get into. It was really cool when younger audience members were able to learn it on the spot and then the band backed them up.
Greenday might be oversold and played out but they put on a great fuckin show.
Also, American Idiot is one of the best mainstream albums to come out this century
I said maybe
You’re gonna be the bum that shaves me
Just after Paul
You’re my wobble ball
I’m clearly out of the loop, I need this one explained to me.
My understanding is that it’s the Rickroll of the guitar-playing world.
It’s fairly straightforward for the novice to play, and is associated with the hipster who lugs a guitar everywhere as a fashion accessory rather than to develop any musical talent, where their repertoire is limited to two or three four-chord wonder songs.
In this instance, the guitarist has given the audience member the chance of a lifetime to shred in front of a crowd that most amateur band members will never see in a lifetime… and instead threw out the “so anyway here’s Wonderwall” meme and dropped a simple meme song.
Happy to be corrected.
