Billie Joe Armstrong performs a raw, uncensored, at-home version of Green Day's 'Graffitia'!

I think his vocals are really fine currently. He has definitely tried to improve and even change his vocal technique. Like we can clearly notice in FOA and I think he had a statement about falsetto in the past was about it could be an unnecessary thing in some particular songs but I think he used it very properly although some people may not be a fan of it. Other than that I think we can see its effects in the recent performances like his voice got higher in some parts in BOBD too. Just one thing I notice sometimes that he could sound flat or like struggling to sing some notes but it’s not always like that and really normal cause it sometimes happens in some frequently played songs like AI but most of the time I find his performances are really solid even though  don’t think his vocals are so smooth but it’s not a problem for me, it’s like his thing, every singer doesn’t have to fit similar standards for singing anyway. I love that performance and BOBD, even saved it to listen from my phone during the day cause finding those kind of raw versions of the songs are not so easy. I always like to find and listen accoustic raw versions of my fav songs from other artists cause they give the song’s emotions in different but very beautiful way, it’s like having a chance to experience the song one more time imo.

I was confused about the uncensored part because the song doesn't have any cursing.

Now I see it's about Billie screwing up at the beginning and it not being bleeped like Broken Dreams.

It's like the beginning of Good Riddance.   I believe EVERY Green Day songs begins with Billie saying "fuck!" and they cut it out.

I don't know about you, but the way he sings the "Only the lonely and wasted" part with that little voice crack gives me the shivers. It's almost like he already knew the state of the world we live in right now back when he wrote that.😥

Billie's little nod at the end "Yep there you go (chew chew chew)" 🤣

I loved it!!! ♥ Billie singing with an acoustic guitar it's something we don't get a lot and this was simply perfect (even if he screwed it a bit) LOL But I think he always does that on the acoustic performances 🤣
