Mar Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 My favorite moment was probably Billie peeking into frame during Stephen's closing because it was stupid and silly and everything I enjoy about both Billie and Stephen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stories and songs Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That was a lovely performance, and their introduction was hilarious. Billie still seems a little uncomfortable performing this song on television—I'm thinking maybe that's why he played guitar this time, to have something else to think about rather than just focusing on singing. When he played on Ellen he barely opened his eyes, so this was a vast improvement. Sounded great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schlappy Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Theyve only played still breathing one other time on tv, and people are going to watch out of song recognition. Casual viewers would be less interested in a song theyve never heard than one they just heard on the radio the other day. It's more about promoting the album as a whole than a new single. So it was the logical choice I think. Anyway Billie looked so satisfied at the end. "I did it!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desertrose Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Watch Green Day's Rousing 'Still Breathing' on 'The Late Show' Host Stephen Colbert passed off the introduction duties to an animated God, hovering in the ceiling, who introduced the punk rockers as his "favorite band." In the hard-hitting performance, Billie Joe Armstrong alternated between smooth verse crooning and raw chorus shrieks as lights flashed behind Tré Cool's drum set. "Still Breathing" is the second single from Green Day's 12th album, last year's Revolution Radio. The band is currently touring behind the LP, with dates scheduled until April 8th. Then, following a break, they'll resume the trek in August and September. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/watch-green-days-rousing-still-breathing-on-the-late-show-w473202 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billie Hoe Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Loved the performance, but Billie's voice seemed stressed throughout the entire song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solongfromthestars Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That was great! I thought Billie sounded pretty good - much better than he did on some of the other professional recordings. God was amusing too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 That was a powerful performance, really great. And the beginning was amusing 12 minutes ago, Billie Hoe said: Loved the performance, but Billie's voice seemed stressed throughout the entire song. It's just a difficult song to sing. The verses are very low for him (towards the bottom of his range) and then there's high parts and the chorus that requires a lot of strength behind it. He has to push his voice to the limit on it.

Mato Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Not really a great performance, they seemed to be falling apart in timing. Tempo was all over the place :/ But it was still great to hear them. The part with god was a great throwback to AI tour pre show speech 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
21guns&novacaine Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Ironically, I almost died trying to sing along to it In an effort to make my scratchy sick voice form the words, I succumbed to a cough attack. They did sound a bit off, but I figures it's just because they're on tour and probably pretty worn down. Also! God introducing them, and saying they're his favorite band, did anyone else see the excited expressions both Tre and Mike got? It reminded me of Bullet in a Bible when Tre is saying "God wants to watch his favorite band again." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meliciraptor Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Finally watched it. What a great performance! I really loved the vocals, it was fine enough for me, ha. I also really love that Billie always performs this song with so much passion. I approve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeJennsitized Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Thought it was a great performance. It's clearly still difficult for him to hit that high note within the range he's singing (ie without going falsetto) but I think it's improving! I pissed myself laughing at Tre running off, and Stephen and Billie looking at each other and then shrugging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

belinda jane Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I loved it. I really thought they put much more effort into it this time and I just LOVED their reactions to the "God's favourite band" part. AHHHHH I just love this band so much.

His voice sounded really bad in his last puppet video actually. So I wasn't surprised. This was done right after the Brooklyn show, so from this one to the newest puppet video, I feel like it's just occupational voice strain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grohl Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 I finally watched it! I do think Billie's voice sounded a bit tired, but I loved it. I still think it was great overall and I absolutely loved the look on their faces when the whole "God's favorite band" came up. The was fucking priceless! And that moment when Billie peaks into Stephen's frame at the end? Too adorable. Billie is too much sometimes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
