They played a lot of songs at Irving Plaza, though, including ones they still play regularly. Did he cry when he played it then? Is that why people would see a connection? I could literally check right now because I have the videos of that performance, but it's already 3:30am here and I really need to go to sleep. Stupid Green Day and their NHL performance recap has kept me up way later than I planned. 🙄 I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

I haven't seen that performance in a long while so, I don't know, I guess it wasn't that bad, but the consensus was that he seemed quite upset.

Yes he cried then but I think that show was the anniversary of his dad’s death so that was why. He pointed up to the sky just before he began

He talked about it on Howard Stern and I think it was very sweet and genuine that he said: ”I think about him every day.”

Whether or not that's the true reason, I think that's sweet. :cry:

For 2-3 seasons since AI, it was one of the 3-4 closing songs every show, every night, when he did his solo guitar ending.  (his quasi-accoustic ending).  When they stopped doing that, it lacked a place. Good Riddance, WMUWSE, Macy's Day Parade, Last Night on Earth et al were a staple during those shows.  Literally almost every night.

Willie Nelson Has Been Bringing Green Day’s Tré Cool Onstage, and the Backstory is Pretty Nuts

 

https://theboot.com/willie-nelson-green-day-tre-cool-fillmore-back-story/?fbclid=IwAR0LmmBLSPy3zkbhqiSjWl-clMwz6mWhmqbfC_ENHCDIHyhL_hcJjKu6L6s

At two shows so far in 2020, Willie Nelson has been quietly bringing an unexpected collaborator onstage. At a Jan. 6 show at the Fillmore in San Francisco, Calif., only the most astute concertgoers noticed that Tré Cool, of rock group Green Day, was onstage for most of Nelson's set playing a washboard and a set of bongos.

An unlikely collaboration indeed, but as it turns out, the jam session was the product of a long, circuitous chain of fandom. Rolling Stone reports that Cool has actually been an avid listener of Nelson's since childhood, so it was a no-brainer that he would want to jump onstage with the country superstar. As for how he got on that particular bill at the Fillmore? That gets a little more complicated.

Cool actually has a couple of different connections to Nelson, and both are through the country legend's musician sons. The first is Micah, who is a member in rock group Particle Kid, and he met Cool when the latter came to see one of his shows.

"I used to bounce around head-banging on the school bus listening to [Green Day's third album] Dookie on my Walkman, so it kinda blew my mind to see Tré dong the same thing in the front row of a Particle Kid show. We connected afterward about music, drumming and our love for [David] Bowie and the Blackstar record," the younger Nelson explains to Rolling Stone.

But wait, there's more: Cool also met Lukas Nelson, Nelson's other son, when a friend'sband was opening for Nelson at a New Year's Eve show in Austin, Texas. "[Lukas] brought us on the bus and we met Willie and had a toke. I saw how the gig was: A family band, the brothers Paul and Billy English on drums, with just a snare drum and a lot of percussion. It was really interesting," Cool notes.

Cool struck up a friendship with Nelson and his bandmates, and later, at the Fillmore show, Paul English was ill and unable to play. "[They said], 'Do you want to come jam?' Well, sure! So I just wound up walking onstage with him, unannounced, and playing the show in San Francisco," he recalls. "After Willie walks off, we finish the song, hug each other and walk away. 'That was fun!'

"Then I found out they were playing in Ontario [Calif.], so I said, 'Hey, do you guys need a guy to fill in?' They said, 'Yeah, come on down!' It was really organic, just bros jamming," Cool adds.

Cool's onstage cameo was a dream come true for any Nelson fan, as was getting the opportunity to share some of the country legend's own marijuana brand, Willie's Reserve. "It's fantastic. But you just [need] half a joint," Cool adds. "Don't smoke a whole joint. You'll be dropping your drumsticks."

Not only do I not work on the 7th, but I made sure to move my doctor's appointment so all I have to do is listen to the album day! 

All 26 minutes on an infinite loop... 😜

I do hope the Ellen appearance isn’t as cringy as their last one 😬

Green Day score the nos. 1 and 11 spots in this Loudwire "The 50 Greatest Pop Punk Albums of All Time - Ranked" with "Dookie" and "American Idiot" respectively:

https://loudwire.com/greatest-pop-punk-albums/

What are the greatest pop-punk albums of all time? At one point in time, pop punk was the most popular rock genre on earth, teaching kids to embrace their snot-nosed youthhood and inspiring countless others to pick up a guitar and pour their hearts out into composition notebooks.
After nearly 40 years of angst and power chords, pop punk has gone through many waves, but the cream of the crop has been immortalized in the minds of Gen X through Z. For those of you who still refuse to buy a suburban home, choose friends over lovers, and will always feel lost in stereo, this list of the 50 Greatest Pop-Punk Albums is for you. Prepare your Dickies and black wristbands.

1. Green Day, 'Dookie' (1994)

A brilliant ode to slacking around, wanking off and being a 20-something waste of space, Dookie is the definitive pop-punk album. Channeling the spirit of the Ramones in spiky songs such as “Basket Case” and “Welcome To Paradise,” Green Day’s third album was a worldwide smash, scoring them a Grammy for Best Alternative Album in the process. Dookie’s spirit of rebellion has remained throughout the band’s career, be it on politically-inspired epic American Idiot or the carefree Uno!, Dos!, Tre! trilogy, and it’s also inspired legions of bands to follow in their footsteps, from scene titans Paramore and Fall Out Boy through to relative newcomers like Neck Deep. Simply put, Dookie fucking rules.

11. Green Day, 'American Idiot' (2004)

An almighty middle finger to George W. Bush’s America, Green Day’s epic seventh LP was a rock opera the likes of which we’d never heard before. With punk songs that last over nine minutes and undeniable anthems such as “Holiday” and “Wake Me Up When September Ends,” it’s a truly unique offering that, it could be argued, saved the band’s career. Broadway productions and countless accolades followed, but at its heart, American Idiot was a pop-punk record born out of one man’s frustration with the world around him and a vision for how it could be just a little bit better.

Mike also gets a mention for playing with Screeching Weasel in 1994 "Even the group itself was something of a pop-punk clearinghouse: Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt briefly performed as a Weasel in 1994"
