Joseph Smitherman I was going to say I think he is technically a “hire on” like the stones is technically just jagger and Richards but the rest are paid extremely well hired ons. I think slipknot even does that with Corey and clown being the only actual members. GNR wasn’t originally that way but after everyone kept over dosing and blowing out organs from drinking axl made everyone sign a contract saying axl owns the band name and all that good stuff.
This song is the introductory to the plot of American Idiot as a concept album. It follows the character of the Jesus of Suburbia, who leaves his small town to venture off into the big city and make a new life for himself. Along his travels he meets and falls in love with a girl named Whatsername, but coincidentally develops the alter-ego of St. Jimmy who tempts him into a life of drugs and self-destruction. Eventually Whatsername decides she can't put up with it anymore and dumps Jesus, which shocks him back into the reality he needs to kill his alter-ego and return back to his small town life. The plot's pretty loose, but that's the basic gist of it. For classic Green Day, check out "Welcome to Paradise". For something a little more out there, check out "Misery".
you're not wrong about it being 5 songs lol I. "Jesus of Suburbia" (0:00 - 1:51) II. "City of the Damned" (1:51 - 3:42) III. "I Don't Care" (3:42 - 5:25) IV. "Dearly Beloved" (5:25 - 6:30) V. "Tales of Another Broken Home" (6:30 - 9:08)
What you were saying about Billie Joe's emphasis on certain words, he was once described as an American singer who sounds like a Britsh singer trying to sound like an American 😂 Would love to hear your reaction to East Jesus Nowhere from their 21st Century Breakdown album!
@@heliosvice I don't think it has changed that much, whenever i talk to older people about their teenage years i find out we're really not that different.
@@jayplexy5983 Yeah what i meant is every generation has it’s own teenage days soundtrack. Mine was in the nu-metal era and post-grunge... Bands like SOAD, Slipknot, Staind and all that between 1999-2005. The ones after me still were rock based. But i think nowadays there’s not many light on Rock N’ Roll. So probably the teenage soundtrack for kids born around 2008... will be a lot different. Generally speaking of course, hopefully I’m wrong
I haven’t really sat down and listened to this song for years, since I was about 13 (and in love with Green Day) but you are so right about the way Billie Joe pronounces certain words! Forgot how much I loved his voice.
This album spoke to me when I was 12/13 living out in the desert of California. The multiple parts of the song for me was the journey of disillusionment. The first part is the current state of the youth but trying to find something for themselves. Part two is the youth looking around their local area and seeing that there are others in the same spiral of going nowhere. Part three is pushing back against the current state of their world. Part four is someone trying to intervene, trying to say this "suburbia" is all they will ever have and to conform to the broken home. Part five is finally being feed up with the situation and leaving the house. Everything they are told, everything they have done is a lie as far as they can see. Better to run and find truth then to "die in tragedy." With this view of the song, I hope others can see why this made sense to a half Asian living in Death Valley, California. Hope this was helpfully.
Billie doesn’t like being put in “pop punk” and to me it’s not really in that genre cause the songs isn’t usually about the norm it’s against what most people would agree with it doesn’t fit everybody but you should also react to 21 guns, American idiot, basket case, boulevard of broken dreams, wake me up when September ends, know your enemy those are their most know.
@@Bluuuu222 Youre just wrong that is absolutely not what makes it the pop in pop punk. Punk in its original form relies on catchiness. Think of "I wanna be sedated" or "Anarchy in the UK
try listening to Green Day - WhatsHerName song, i grew up playing it on Green Day rockband as well as growing up hearing their other songs and they are a good band, you might just have to hear more songs before they grow on you, 21 guns is a good song too
Green Day are my favourite band of all time, and have been since 2005. I can understand why this may seem a bit all over the place, but it's telling a story and each part is reflective of the parts of the story. As a lonely, angry kid growing up in suburban Ireland, this song, and the entire American Idiot record, really gave me a feeling of belonging and hope. I'd love to see you react to more Green Day, especially their less known stuff (Macy's Day Parade, X-Kid, Brain Stew, Whatsername, Letterbomb, J.A.R, to name very few). Also please check out their Bullet in a Bible videos, they're an incredible live band.
You listen to music the same way I do. I always read the lyrics and try to figure out what they are singing about. My kids loved green day when they were younger. This song was on somewhat of a concept album..American Idiot. All the songs were a bit different for them.
Oh wow im glad you did this! Green Day is pop punk, basically a more radio friendly version of punk music that was more prevalent in the 80s and 90s, and as much as i prefer that older punk music i have to admit pop punk is quite good This song is part of the American Idiot album and it really starts the concept story of the album to establish a character known as St. Jimmy who becomes the basis of the entire album henceforth
Compared to their earlier stuff its when they started going towards radio play like 21st Century Breakdown. They still got punk roots but i was mainly talking about pop punk in general, guys. Im a huge fan of blink-182 and bands like that but they're not really "punk" per se
TheScout91 I listen to blink also they don’t really like the term punk pop they have done punk pop yes but calling them a punk pop group is definitely a overstatement when Green Day originated with punk rock and blink to more of a emo vibe
@@sufferyetgain All I'm saying is when you compare this album with albums like Dookie, Nimrod, and Kerplunk, the edge has faded but is still there in this album. It's a piece of art musically, but not in a punk rock way; more of just a rock way
Hey Rude! Really enjoy your work, bro! The whole American Idiot album is their self proclaimed Rock Opera. The album is meant to listen all the way through with most songs bleeding into each other. My favorite from them. Be well!
this was a fantastic albumit wasnt just a collection of songs like most albums. . it was really set up and laid out as one music experience. . most of the songs ran into eachother fairly well .. some were even paired up intentionally. . the whole album is pretty much a good narrative of sorts of the early 2000s. . wake me up in sept ends living in the fallout of 9/11 and so on. . politics and war play into the lyrics as well. . while i really lovesd early years greenday . . this is one of my favorite albums of theirs because of how they did it
Bro you should react to “wake me up when September ends” I think you’ll like it a lot it’s pretty interesting and sweet song Billie wrote for his dad when he died
Ahhhh 420th like! That's what's up! Seriously tho dope vid, nobody knows about this song but everyone from a shitty hometown, or with a shitty highschool experience can relate.
The song is about the Jesus of suburbia and basically he is living his life as a generic punk teen who then realizes that his life in a small town is too simple . After that he realizes that he just straight up stopped caring about things because “everyone’s so full of sh!t” then it hits him basically he is overwhelmed by this new idea this “dearly beloved are you listening I can’t remember a word that you where saying.” And “ Am I retarded or am I just over joyed.” This idea is revealed as him needing to leave his home. Hopefully this comment sums this song up for everyone

Punk? If this woulda come out back in the day it woulda been categorized with The Knack. It has parts of well known 80s songs. This tune knicked about 5 80s songs
billie joe armstrong on guitar, mike dirnt on bass, tre cool on drums. all masters of their craft.
Don't forget Jason White the lead guitarist
@@josephsmitherman2612 Jason White plays lead during their live shows, but Billie wrote all the guitar parts
Joseph Smitherman I was going to say I think he is technically a “hire on” like the stones is technically just jagger and Richards but the rest are paid extremely well hired ons. I think slipknot even does that with Corey and clown being the only actual members.

fun fact mike dirnt his real name is mike turnt
"its like five songs in one" is prob the best description of Jesus of Suburbia ive ever heard
The Bohemian Rhapsody of punk :^)
I mean, it is a five part song
It literally is tho. They had 5 different 2-3 minute punk songs, that they found putting them together was just a 10 minute banger
not like it says it on the back of the album lmaoo
Best description? Lol literally everyone describes that
This song is the introductory to the plot of American Idiot as a concept album. It follows the character of the Jesus of Suburbia, who leaves his small town to venture off into the big city and make a new life for himself.

yesssss omg Misery
Thank you so I didn't have to lol
you're not wrong about it being 5 songs lol
I. "Jesus of Suburbia" (0:00 - 1:51)
II. "City of the Damned" (1:51 - 3:42)

IV. "Dearly Beloved" (5:25 - 6:30)
V. "Tales of Another Broken Home" (6:30 - 9:08)
I used to have this CD back in like 2004. I think in the booklet with the lyrics it broke the song down into 5 parts Labeled I-V, like acts in a play

such a legendary song
You should’ve reacted to the live version. Every Green Day song is 10000 times better LIVE!
Yeah! My favourite Green Day song, reminds me my teenage days!
@Master Duty Well then you are about to get a soundtrack for your teenage days soon! It should be a lot different than mine though. Times changed

This is one of the better song reviews. Noticing al these different things.

Yo for real Tre Cool is an awesome drummer.
Great reaction. Loved this song so much in high school lol

What does pop punk have to do with fitting norms? Pop punk is inherently punk in their beliefs the pop only comes from how catchy the songs are.
AllHeart AllHate the pop punk songs i heard are kinda generic like pop with a little bit of punk but you’re also right.
MilkOnHerTitties you're wrong bro. pop punk is not pop its like 80% punk 20% pop
Well American Idiot is a rock opera album so anyone telling you otherwise is uninformed.

Same 💯

Dope reaction and request, hella nostalgia from this.
The pop/punk bohemian rhapsody. What an epic
This songs iconic.
'It's like 5 songs in one!' Yes, that's exactly what it is :D
You gotta listen to the whole album at once, the song is given more context. The album tells a story
Not going to happen likely tbh
this was a fantastic albumit wasnt just a collection of songs like most albums. . it was really set up and laid out as one music experience. . most of the songs ran into eachother fairly well .. some were even paired up intentionally. . the whole album is pretty much a good narrative of sorts of the early 2000s. . wake me up in sept ends living in the fallout of 9/11 and so on. . politics and war play into the lyrics as well. . while i really lovesd early years greenday . . this is one of my favorite albums of theirs because of how they did it
Listen to "Green Day" Geek Stink Breath or Brain Stew
Evan Paluch brain stew/jaded!!!
For me the entire song is great. Favorite Green Day song without a doubt and one of my favorites ever. It's their masterpiece.
It's a concept album, if you dont know the other songs and the lyrics, you're missing the whole story of the character
Bro you should react to “wake me up when September ends” I think you’ll like it a lot it’s pretty interesting and sweet song Billie wrote for his dad when he died
Dope reaction 👍🏼 you should check out the other 5 part song on this album “Homecoming”. This whole album is a masterpiece.
the music video makes it better. the whole album is a story from start to finish
Ahhhh 420th like! That's what's up! Seriously tho dope vid, nobody knows about this song but everyone from a shitty hometown, or with a shitty highschool experience can relate.
Honestly I think the way he says certain words the way he does is that he's very SoCal with his pronunciation.
It really is 5 songs in one. 1. Jesus of Suburbia, 2. City of the Damned, 3. I Don’t Care, 4. Dearly Beloved , and 5. Tales From Another Broken Home
My favorite song of all time
The song is about the Jesus of suburbia and basically he is living his life as a generic punk teen who then realizes that his life in a small town is too simple . After that he realizes that he just straight up stopped caring about things because “everyone’s so full of sh!t” then it hits him basically he is overwhelmed by this new idea this “dearly beloved are you listening I can’t remember a word that you where saying.” And “ Am I retarded or am I just over joyed.” This idea is revealed as him needing to leave his home. Hopefully this comment sums this song up for everyone
Thanks
Rudelife no problem. I saw a question and I geeked out
The song is divided into a few parts. On the album song list it tells the name of each part
The different music styles are their commentary of music popularized in suburbia.
Check out Sex Pistols. One of the best punk bands of all time. Songs: " Anarchy In The UK ", " God Save The Queen "
