Just performing in Spanish and celebrating Latino culture was huge in this climate. When he named every country in South and North America I felt that. He was great

"To all the ICE agents out there, wherever you are, quit your sh*tty-ass job. Quit that shitty job you have. Because when this is over — and it will be over at some point in time — Kristi Noem, Stephen Miller, JD Vance, Donald Trump, they’re gonna drop you like a bad f*cking habit. Come on this side of the line.” - February 6th

I'm just happy my boys got to play the Super Bowl.

The message at the end again: "The only thing more powerful than hate is love" Absolutely not my type of music, i didnt understand a word in spanish, but he was asked to do a show that unites the people, and i think his halftime performance was really good

They literally called him out the other night at the pre-show concert they did.

They just showed billie in the audience, next to adrienne

Bad Bunny did a great job. It was a huge moment for Latino people and Puerto Rico! And I loved the bit at the end where he named different countries with a message of love.

No he doesn't. Also green day isnt a political band for 20 years now. Why everyone expect something from them besides playing 20 yr old anti bush songs. 21st century breakdown is more relevant than American idiot.

This is an insanely ignorant take. Billie called out Trump by name in that show as he has at countless shows in recent time. Where have you been? 😂 Watch the clip, dude. https://youtube.com/shorts/NrGwAS6gqys?si=LQtwLGyaPgQegJLR

Think of it from a practicality standpoint. You wouldn't expect an employee to start cursing out their boss when the risk of getting fired is all but certain, so why would you expect Green Day to curse out the administration if the chance they'd get their time cut off was all but certain? I'm not saying I didn't want to see the band call out the Trump Administration, but I get why they didn't.

NFL is huge and powerful as fuck. I think there was a negotiation: Green Day got to play AI and Holiday and NFL got them not to say or show something overly political besides the songs themselves

Tried making a high quality version of the logo, feel free to use.

New logo? This is the only place I saw it, while they used the Saviors logo everywhere else.

I’m cracking up that the only controversy I’ve encountered tonight is 5 different messages from people wanting to know if Billie is wearing a wig … including from my dad. What do we think, fam?

It’s the Super Bowl…they said mindfuck America…and played American Idiot with a bunch of NFL Super Bowl MVP’s on stage jumping up and done to it that’s punk in of itself!! They said fuck…they did a melody…what do people want them to do?!?! It’s watched by millions…they didn’t divide or say anything maybe they were looking for unity either way they sounded great they played holiday and AI to open the Super Bowl which is wild! Wish the played TADIKM and or When I Come Around or Basket Case instead of Blvd but I get it it’s their biggest song but opening up the Super Bowl isn’t the time to take attention away from the event itself watch by everyone kids adults families and people of all sides. Also even if they did say something it would have been bleeped. Plus maybe they will play the halftime show soon now eventually…maybe just maybe they come out with bad bunny for a bit never know?! But they fact the opened the Super Bowl played AI and holiday and said mImdfuck America is wild unto itself. People who are disappointed need to calm down it’s entertainment and a huge thing to do. They stilL chose to end with AI which again is fascinating. Can’t please everyone

We were all expecting the MAGA agenda line that didn't come but this performance wasn't apolitical. American Idiot and Holiday are political statements themselves and they played these songs on the most watched event of the USA (and I'm surprised NFL let them play these songs). I also wish they did more, but this wasn't nothing

There's a time and place for everything. People just demand things nowadays and feel entitled for other people's behaviour. Green Day have been extremely vocal about the issues for ever. They don't need to scream it during the Superbowl opening to prove it to anyone. They performed American Idiot ffs.

Its always like this, people make false hopes out of nothing and get hyped, just do be disappointed in the end, and then blame the origin (the band) Its not the oscars or grammys, its the nfl superbowl, getting badbunny and greenday to play at their show is surprising enough imo, and the boys took full advantage of it by performing with high rock energy (And keep in mind, this was not about greenday, it was about the mvp ceremony in the end)

They have been bussines owners since the late 90s. This has nothing to do with anything, and they’ve been criticizing Vance, Elon Musk, Rubio and the whole Trump clique non-stop this past year. Let’s not be overly dramatic. It’s okay to be disappointed, I am too, but we do not need to make stuff up.

So if dared to sing the song intended and keep the “redneck agenda” line or change or to “maga agenda” cutting maybe 30 secs off would ruin them? I think if they did the medley, played AI got to that part and got cut off it would become a story, more publicity for the band without them losing anything and looking way better than what they are right now which is a forgettable performance. the most charitable take I’ve seen is that the verse in question in AI uses the f slur but Billie could’ve changed that too.

Unfortunately, that's not the same thing. Bad Bunny has infinitely more leverage with it being the Half-Time show. The NFL would be foolish as all hell to cut that off, especially since it would be incredibly obvious why they're doing it.

That's what I heard lol

Wasn't it just "let's go crazy!"? Lol

I think this article has our answer in it "All Super Bowl performers are required to sign a contract in which they agree to abide by the league’s standards or face a sizable fine." I'd guess that's why they didn't get to say anything too political in it

cmon guys... american idiot performed on letterman, billie constantly posting left-wing stuff on social media, years of speaking out against the political climate at stadiums, "im not part of a maga agenda" on dick clarks nye, and thats scratching the surface... i guess all of that is out the window?

I suppose this is where I'm at emotionally. Not really outraged per se, but surprised. I was definitely expecting at least a throw-away anti Trump/MAGA line or something.

"F*ck" america :D But yeah, i never expected to hear greenday perform AI at the superbowl, especially in a time like this with the biggest ever idiot in office

I’ve criticised Green Day for being Sheltered Rich Men in the past, but I personally don’t think it’s a massive deal that they didn’t make this performance political. It would’ve made zero difference to anyone, except perhaps making them slightly richer from all the press, and this was one of the biggest moments of their career. Fair if they wanted to enjoy it without making some performative statement.

Expectations were always gonna be impossible for this. People started digging up clips from 2016 as if that same thing was gonna happen tonight. I figured the NFL would find a way to keep them on their best behavior. Would've been nice for them to say something out of the ordinary, but it's still pretty impressive to sing "Fuck America" in this climate. ^ This.

the boys have literally been speaking out against the government for the past 21 years now, at stadiums, on live TV, etc. the fact that they were even allowed to play a SLIVER of american idiot and holiday at the FUCKING SUPER BOWL is already nuts. the fact that GREEN DAY IS EVEN AT THE SUPER BOWL ALTOGETHER is nuts. who knows what type of shit NFL would've pulled off had they DID speak up? probably wasnt pretty. r/greenday are some of the most unrealistic idiots ive ever seen on earth...

The chances of Mike and Tre not being able to perform and you and I filling in for them are incredibly low, but not zero. Be ready.

I started listening to much more punk rock when I was introduced to Green Day about eight or so years ago. They introduced me to Social Distortion, The Offspring, and basically any 90's 00's era emo or punk band. I also got into metal and metalcore a little later. I don't know how that came about .

probably the logo that they're gonna use during anything they do/release inbetween Saviors and the next album

No they didn't. They called out ice. Go ahead find an instance of them using trumps name I'll wait... Hmmm a mask but didn't actually say anything also isn't that in England

Maybe Green Day will make a surprise appearance at halftime

it probably was, to be honest even though I am a fan of his work I never actually got around to watching it

I think if they had played the halftime show, it would given them more time to do more with it politically. Plus, the beginning is more about the pageantry of it. It was honoring past and current players. It was a little odd they didn’t at least do the maga agenda part for american idiot. But still at this point, no one’s being convinced politically one way or the other by a performance. It could’ve been seen as milking the situation and asking for even more personal attention.

Someone texted me they thought they heard "One nation where Trump controls the media" but that was just wishful thinking on their end. It's amazing how much publicity the censored "mindfuck America" line is getting.

That's so wholesome

German tv channel showed the whole performance, i was surprised. Everything as expected, reddit has a meltdown right now because GD didnt say anything against trump etc, but its the nfl, they probably were not allowed to say anything. Good riddance with strings + billie Holiday/BOBD/AI medley They sounded sick!!

I have to say I'm disappointed as well. For Billie to be SO vocal all of time and then to do not do anything at all.... there must've been a huge fine in their contract. Sigh.

Disappointed. They had the platform and didn't even said anything. Not even the MAGA agenda verse. Coward performance. Really disappointed.

The AAF bunny flag is amazing!

I‘m nervous too.😅 Hope everything goes well!!!

The camera shifts to Green Day. Billie steps up to the microphone and scans the stadium. The audience falls silent... 1, 2, 3, 4... Taking a riiiiiide to my ooooold haaaauuunts... 🎶

They didn't play Forever Now? Also I've heard that they might play Bang Bang at the Superbowl. Weird that they didn't play it here

Graffitia and Fire, Ready Aim are me 2 fav tracks.

What green day song is stuck in your head today? ive listened to Macys day parade 5 times and its still in there 😭
