Wow Billie sounded just too good on I’m still breathing and I absolutely hated they cut the song and put football highlights instead. Is anyone else tired of hearing basket case?

Billie did sound great and yes, for GD fans, very sad the song was cut to show football highlights 

Never really get tired of Basket Case myself

Great performance! I love that they all look so healthy (especially Billie with that hair style again). Tre had really much fun while playing. I hope that soon there will be a new album era!

Just watched the YouTube video posted a couple pages back. I hope to god they will release footage of just the songs with no football stuff over them. That was annoying as hell. We have waited who knows how long to see Green Day play again and then they not only show barely any footage of them playing, but have the audacity to drown out the music. I know this is football honors, but come on! You don't do that to halftime show performers or musicians playing other events. Looked like a really outstanding performance. Too bad I couldn't enjoy the full thing. I guess they don't care about Green Day fans who are watching to see their favorite band and don't really care about football.

I'm sorry if I'm salty. I was in a bad mood to begin with and this was just the cherry on top.

Yeah. I was going to ask if anyone in the US knows if they ever release these performances in full after the event

We would’ve been talking about it by now if they did.

I hate Still Breathing so fucking much but goddammit Billie sounded GOOD. I don't even care did they need several takes for that one minute clip that I saw, but that was amazing.

Thanks for asking. I do, but it would be really weird to play it on NFL.

Not the biggest fan of still breathing, but it was a really good performance.

Gives a bit the chill how the lyrics weirdly relate to the whole corona shit show. “Cause I’m still breathing on my own“... ugh... shall we call the network to play respirator next? 

Bummer that they cut the “sieg heils“ part of holiday, I wonder if they just didn’t play it or if there’s a production cut there.

Maybe they didn’t want to say sieg heil on tv after trump supporters already misunderstood American Idiot

I remember someone said Still Breathing is a lame feelgood song and he doesn’t want to play it anymore. So that makes it an even more pleasant surprise, because I assumed they chucked it from the setlist for good. :P

The whole performace sounds amazing (except for the muted bits ofc). Billie sounds a lot less strained in SB than he often did before.

Thanks @Yosuke Hanamura that’s a much better version!  It’s kind of a weird performance with how they are just playing the music with no vocals at times, SB is cut short and maybe oddest of all, no crowd but I guess that’s partly why they showed it cut in like that so I think it worked pretty well even though I would have preferred just GD, not a sports fan and particularly not American Football, for me it’s the weirdest sport ever. Sorry football fans.  Having said all that I think they looked and sounded great and maybe will introduce the band to football fans and make them want to hear more.  Just happy to see them, Tre was clearly having fun.

They all looked and sounded great.

It felt like Billies hair should have been shorter in the back and then it would have been perfect. I love that style on him in general almost Longshot-ish Billie style which is my fav.

That was amazing, the NFL is such a big deal, the band looked amazing and sounded great and the merge of Green Day and football was done really well for fans of both the band and celebrated the reason for the show. Super happy about the whole performance and how it was put together.

I want to fix Billie’s hair in the back that’s the only thing but I am grateful for that because as a spoiled long term Green Day fan I like to have something ridiculous to complain about because we are so spoiled in general. The performance was perfect and the band is amazing and that was great.

Mike and Tre looked perfect. I loved the way everyone was dressed and the energy.  Jason, Mike, Tre and Billie. They are perfect.

Also, it was cool that Billie had the Mother Mary Les Paul Junior rather than the glittering white one. I don’t know if that was on purpose but the total look of the band and Tre’s cool sparkly leopard drum kit was amazing.
