Green Day are certainly good to their fans—at last night’s epic three-hour show in Irvine, the band started things off right by inviting anybody in any section of the Verizon Amphitheater to come on down to rock out in the pit. If that wasn’t generous enough, Billie Joe Armstrong let concertgoers flock onstage, had them stage-dive off of it, and the punk frontman even let a lucky fan sing the band’s hit song “Longview”—and gave the kid his guitar as a gift for remembering all the lyrics. Check out our gallery of Green Day’s most dedicated—and stylishly dressed—fans rocking out at their phenomenal live show. More »
Green Day’s three-hour, non-stop, insanely high-energy concert at the Verizon Amphitheater in Irvine last night was broken up into various acts—the punk-rockers kicked off with their modern hits from American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown; invited as many fans as possible to storm the stage and snap pics with them while they jammed through their older songs off of Dookie up to Warning; and ended the night with Billie Joe Armstrong turning it down a notch with an acoustic guitar for the three-song encore.
But the absolute craziest part of last night’s epic show was when the band took a break from their own material to cover almost every classic rock song in existence—”Highway To Hell”, “Baba O’Riley”, “Sweet Child Of Mine”, “Hey Jude”, “Dancing With Myself”, “Iron Man” and “California Girls” were just a few of the dozens of rock songs given the Green Day touch. Check out our gallery of the Bay Area boys giving their fans one helluva night to remember. More »
Don’t let the Tony Awards fool you: Green Day are still a rock band, a damn fine one at that. The San Francisco Bay punk trio — who first played Lollapalooza back when it was a tour, not a festival — played a goofy but tight set at this year’s fest. Billie Joe Armstrong & Co. tossed in covers of the Beatles’ “Hey Jude” and the Isley Brothers’ “Shout” in between their own greatest hits and new jams like “Last Of The American Girls”.
