What an awesome performance!! Did Billie mixed up the lyrics at the end? or maybe was on purpose :P

And they already have new picks! Looks like red or pink ones

Only just watched this but I LOVED it! Mike looked totally badass and they all looked like they were absolutely loving being up on stage performing. Billie was enjoying doing the hey-ohs so much :lol:. Their happy faces make me happy.

^Nicely written. At least Duff went for the right reason - GNR's fans. Good for him and his other bandmates.

Love love loved that performance. So happy they did Letterbomb :D

Nice blog post from Duff McKagan

"The Green Day guys came to my book reading the night before at the House Of Blues, and Billie Joe and I devised a plan where he would sing whatever was needed...if needed."

So goddamn bitter we didn't go to HoB the night before :lol:

Hey gang - there are a few HD caps of Letterbomb on Youtube now. This one's available in both 720i and 1080i HD resolutions:

I'm really confused. Billie's speech was amazing, as were their performances, so how come his verse in "Mr. Brownstone" was so fucking weak? I was expecting him to run out there and kill it, but he just kinda shuffled onstage, sung the verse with his hands behind his back and then slunk away again. I don't get it.

Maybe so as not to upstage GNR?

I guess he was probably just conscious that he didn't want to take any glory from GNR or whatever.

Edit: oops, I was late. :P

well, to me it looked a bit like he simply didn't want to steal the show..and was maybe also a bit shy, i mean he got to play with GUNS N' ROSES, i'm sure it was a great honor for him...and in my opinion he did his part great, he didn't do much, but he did it good :happy:

Article with mention of Billie Joe's speech at the induction.

Green Day inducts Guns N’ Roses into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Appetite for Destruction is the greatest debut album in the history of rock and roll,” Green Day singer Billie Joe Armstrong asserted at this year’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. When they’re not too busy keeping the punk flame burning with American Idiot The Musical (“gorgeously wrought”—New York Times), Green Day like to show their hearts are still in the right place with a rebellious gesture, such as flying to Cleveland to toss three original members of Guns N’ Roses’ salad at a $25,000-a-table dinner for industry executives. Just because they’re punk doesn’t mean they can’t be good team players.

“This ride was not about parties, glamour, or power ballads,” Billie Joe said at the ceremony, describing the first time he heard “Welcome to the Jungle” on MTV. “It was about the seedy underworld of misfits, drug addicts, paranoia, sex, violence, love, and anger in the cracks of Hollywood. It was a breath of fresh air!” As it turned out, the ride was precisely about parties, glamour, and power ballads, and Axl soon identified the “niggers,” “immigrants,” and “faggots” who peopled Hollywood’s cracks as the villains who would bring you to your sha-na-na-na-na-na-na-knees. But Green Day is much too polite to mention these things while appearing before their bosses to burnish the Gn’R myth, which goes like this: once, the Sunset Strip was full of candyass hair metal bands, who were a bunch of gay posers, but then Guns N’ Fuckin’ Roses emerged to blow them all away with dirty-ass rock and roll.

My thanks to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Green Day for recognizing this historic achievement.
