Green Day Reference in Weezer 'Troublemaker' Video

Recommended Posts

I wrote this as part of my article on the new Weezer video. Do you agree?

This might sound crazy, but when Cuomo shouts "Brothers and sisters, put your hands in the air" at the end of the video, is that in reference to Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong who shouts that twice during the band's live performance of "Jesus of Suburbia?" (The band covered Green Day's "Worry Rock" on a Green Day tribute record a few years back.)

As he's clearly a Green Day fan, I suppose it could be a reference. Maybe he did it subconsciously after hearing Billie Joe say it during a performance that he was impressed by :D

Would this be entirely shocking? I mean, its a known fact that the guys from Weezer (well, at least in its original incarnation) are big Green Day fans.
