desertrose Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 I like "Working Class Hero" and "Hybrid Moments" too
Spike Posted July 21, 2014 Posted July 21, 2014 This version of Knowledge from Potsdam 2004. I don't listen to any other version anymore, this is utter perfection.
That Dude Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 I love all their covers but "The Saints are Coming" is my absolute favorite. Other highlights are "Hybrid Moments" and of course "A Quick One". Green Day have so many covers and they all rival the original material.

pouty bitch Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 My favourites are Working Class Hero and We Are The Champions.
Caroline Truong Posted June 21, 2017 Posted June 21, 2017 Billie's look ageless from that Reading Festival video..I don't really care for song WAREC!
pouty bitch Posted June 22, 2017 Posted June 22, 2017 Not one of my favourites, but I think Eye of the Tiger deserves an honourable mention.
Caroline Truong Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 Yes..best funniest version Eyes of Tiger!..
pacejunkie punk Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 I love when they do Cheap Trick's Surrender, Working Class Hero and A Quick One and one I found recently is a clip on YouTube of them doing Rip This Joint on Jimmy Fallon during the RS' Exile on Main Street week. Amazing!

pacejunkie punk Posted June 26, 2017 Posted June 26, 2017 Billie really does sound a lot like John when he sings that song. He's a great mimic with rock voices -- Robert Plant/Led Zeppelin, Cheap Trick, ac/dc he gets the lead singers spot on.
TimmyChunks Posted June 27, 2017 Posted June 27, 2017 Tired of Waiting has to be way up there- that was a really faithful cover to the original. I especially like it because their style was so different and relatively straightforward at the time, and the clean guitars and singing were a huge departure from any of their major label releases up to that point. It showcased their classic rock sensibilities, ability, and respect for the genre we had not yet seen until then. Also, I was playing it in my room and Dad popped in and asked why I was playing The Who (huge fan). I explained that it was Green Day (twist: he was the one that got me into Green Day to begin with) and it astounded him.
