Broadway Idiot is great, but there's only a few minutes of Billie's performance in it.  I'd love a full video of one of the shows he performed in.

There was one on YouTube back then (someone recorded it with a secret camera in their hat!) but it got taken down really quickly. I always think someone must still have it but... I don't know if it will ever surface again sadly

Do you guys want to see a musical film or a non-musical film?   

I'm doing both regardless, but I just want a count of hands.

That's cool thanks! But yeah it would still be good to see the whole thing with Billie's full performance.

i mean isnt broadway idiot enough?

No, as @Montclare said there are only small, broken up bits of Billie’s performance and we know from all the reviews etc that he totally lit up the stage, I would give my eye teeth to see a full performance from him.

@Hermione I can’t believe you haven’t watched it, it’s interesting, entertaining and very fangirl worthy, think you would enjoy it.

I've seen bits of it but I don't care much for the musical so I never watched the whole thing. I probably will on your recommendation though!

But whoa.

For me, the musical was probably the greatest Green Day experience I've ever had.  Interesting.  Very interesting. 

You'll be a villain in my adaptation, muhuhaha.

We're fans of Billie so we'd enjoy watching his performance in full. Especially as it seems like probably his best acting performance, and as a stage musical (based on an album and character he created no less) it's unique for him. What's wrong with wanting to see it?

[nopride84]

i didnt say anything was wrong with it.

Seasoned reviewers of Broadway musicals gave him rave reviews and you, or at least I and many others, felt we got a hint of how well he came over in Broadway Idiot, so yes, I do believe he is a great performer, he was very good on Broadway and I want to see a properly recorded performance with him in it.  Most of the video footage on YouTube is fairly poor quality.

As someone who saw Billie perform it in person, I can attest to the fact that he was outstanding in that role. He embodied the character so well and absolutely dominated the stage for every scene he was in, outshining everyone else there. Not very surprising seeing as St. Jimmy is a part of him. I would loooove to see a full, professionally recorded performance with Billie. I think that's what we all want. It would be so amazing to relive that.

Okay, you guys have convinced me.   I'll see if I can get this "Billie Joe" person to be in my adaptation of American Idiot.  

But he's only had a few acting roles, right?   I'm not sure I can direct such an armature in one of my productions, but I'll give him a shot.   If he's as good as you all say he is, it just might work.
