Green Day Plays “Dookie” From Start to Finish Live

dookie green day On February 1, 1994, Green Day released one of the landmark albums of the 1990s, Dookie. At the time, you could not go anywhere without hearing “When I Come Around.” The album would become Green Day’s best-selling album. And even if I prefer their American Idiot (2004) album, there is no denying the impact or catchy hooks of Dookie.

It is hard to believe that it has been around two decades since the band released Dookie. In the video below from the 2013 Reading Festival (U.K.) performance at Brixton Academy, lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong reminded the audience of the upcoming anniversary of the album, and then he announced the band was going to play the entire album. Roll cameras.

Check out the whole performance below.

    Guns N’ Roses Inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

    As reported extensively in the press about the 2012 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductions, Axl Rose wanted nothing to do with the induction of Guns N’ Roses due to his differences with the band members. But the show must go on, and it did last night in Cleveland. So here are Guns N’ Roses — Slash, Duff McKagan, Steven Adler, and Gilby Clarke — tearing it up on “Sweet Child O’ Mine”with Myles Kennedy (of Alter Bridge) on vocals.

    Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstong inducted Guns N’ Roses, saying, “The thing that set them apart from everybody else was guts, heart and soul. Most important, they told the truth.” At the ceremony, though, none of the band members mentioned Axl Rose by name.

    What do you think about Axl Rose rejecting the honor — childish snub or understandable choice not to appear with former band mates? Leave your two cents in the comments.
