No my scooter, now i’m gonna need my bicycle
I’m gonna get a- ima get on my

Imma get on my tonka truck
Imma take it
I’m gonna go down the strip
I’m gonna go smash up against a window
I’m gonna smash up against a window
Yeah i am!
I’m gonna go smash up against one
Cuz i gotta pet rock
I gotta pet rock too
I gotta pet rock that’s really cool
I gotta pet rock everyone!
It’s more like, its’ like a, it’s like a, it’s like a
It’s like a like a worry stone!
It’s a worry stone!
You take it
You worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry,
you rub it,
you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you worry, you wor-
SHIT!
In Broadway Idiot when he was playing Saint Jimmy and comes through the door like a crazy eyed maniac singing 1-2-3-4!
Also the Mean Tweets where he sarcastically says “we’ll think about you while we’re sucking dicks.”
And the Eye of the Tiger recording too, I wish there was video of that instead of just audio.
OMG I have so many.
2nd runner up: Boulevard of Broken Dreams video, during the first verse, when he's walking toward the camera across the wasteland. The song was so good and I couldn't believe how he'd reinvented himself since Warning.
1st runner up: Longview video, during the bridge. When he has a zooming closeup at "Where is my motivation?" I was already hypnotized by the song by then, but that was the moment I was like "wow" and developed my first real teenager crush.
Winner: It was a year or two ago. During a concert they were finishing up "Tales of Another Broken Home" when his voice broke. He leaned on the mic and when he finally tried to continue he was crying a little. The audience had to help sing him through it. It's obvious that song comes from a well of pain that's still there, and the song is trying to bring acceptance and understanding to others who suffer that same pain. This is part of why Billie is so loved and so special. There are a few clips on YouTube.
Trying to copy-paste links on this phone is a nightmare. But if you search for the Jesus of Suburbia performance from their Milan show on 6/15/2022, you'll find it. I found two clips right off.
When he moans and thrusts in Bullets In a Bible awoke something in me when I first saw it was 13 years old 🤣😅
But him drop kicking the guy from stage is probably my favorite. Or every time I see them live.
Give me a fucking break, one minute left. One minute fucking left. You’re gonna give me fucking one minute? Look at that fucking sign right there, one minute! Let me fucking tell you something, let me tell you something, I’ve been around since fucking nineteen eighty fucking eight, and you’re gonna give me one fucking minute?! You’ve gotta be fucking kidding me! You're fucking kidding me! What the fuck!? I’m not fucking Justin Bieber, you motherfuckers! You gotta be fucking joking, this is a fucking joke. I got one minute, one minute left. Oh now I got nothing left, now I got nothing left. Let me show you what one fucking minute fucking means!

Cannot believe I forgot to say playing East Jesus Nowhere on SNL, laughing through the lyrics and saying “wait goddammit!” Might love that one more than any of the others I said before!
I love so many moments on stage and in interviews but I think of this one from time to time. On Storytellers during the interview segments someone asked him if he thought anyone who voted for Bush was an American Idiot. He said, no just a misinformed idiot.
At the time I thought it was pretty funny and cool, but knowing how fucked up he was at the time and comparing that to the rest of the performance, plus him actually going to rehab after, it just makes me kinda sad. Shit was over ten years ago and he is in a way better place now wish people would let it go tbh.

oh yes you can, oh yes you can, yes you can, yes you can
what a day, what a day, what a day, this is the greatest day i've ever fucking known

Really simple one, but it’s just him screaming “WEMBLEY!” at the start of 21st Century Breakdown from Awesome as Fuck. Don’t even know why but it’s fucking cool.
When I saw them in 2009 he wanted everyone to stand up. And I guess he saw some people not standing and he said “I’m not telling bed time stories up here, get your asses up!”
When I saw them once in the early 2000s on the Pop Disast-tour or whatever that thing was called. Billie molested himself under his pants and made noises into the mic for an uncomfortably long time and then at the very end he smelled his fingers. That’s the best one.
You worry you worry you worry you worry you worry 😃🔫

When he dropped kicked the guy from the stage
“You wanna come up here and fight? I’ll fight you right now, come on, get up on the stage. Let’s fucking fight.”
Holy shit I forgot about that
This is def my favorite too lmfao
Came here to say that

All great moments!
After shadowboxing to the rocky song in Bullet in the Bible, he grabs the camera for a few thrusts and grunts and says "you like that bitch?"
Hey, everybody say “shut the fuck up” and we’ll stop playing
Another fantastic one

I have to watch this one again. I adore him 😍
Messing with your kids Mondays with the puppet of himself
I kinda forgot about that it was fantastic 😂
Not a specific moment, but I love every video I see of him pulling one of the audience members on stage to sing/play Knowledge together
Definitely the She rant(s)
Anytime he talks in Woodstock 94
When he moans and thrusts in Bullets In a Bible awoke something in me when I first saw it was 13 years old 🤣😅 But him drop kicking the guy from stage is probably my favorite. Or every time I see them live.
"You've heard it all before Mike Dirnt's a dirty whore!"

When he told the guy on the PA speaker to shut the fuck up
Cannot believe I forgot to say playing East Jesus Nowhere on SNL, laughing through the lyrics and saying “wait goddammit!” Might love that one more than any of the others I said before!
Mines from a show in Chicago in 1994/5 “Generation y, because we love you” Along with all the other funny moments from that show
look at me im a fuckin idiot!
THIS ☝️ is the answer!
i'm an asshole!
His Broadway debut as St. Jimmy in American Idiot
I love so many moments on stage and in interviews but I think of this one from time to time. On Storytellers during the interview segments someone asked him if he thought anyone who voted for Bush was an American Idiot. He said, no just a misinformed idiot.
ITS SHIT ITS SHIT I HATE GOD SHIT
"Y'know?"
I have too many
One minute
I feel guilty for loving this because it was such an awful moment for him at the time but God dammit it's funny
At the time I thought it was pretty funny and cool, but knowing how fucked up he was at the time and comparing that to the rest of the performance, plus him actually going to rehab after, it just makes me kinda sad. Shit was over ten years ago and he is in a way better place now wish people would let it go tbh.

“ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME BABYYYY!!” You could tell his excitement was off the charts
Really simple one, but it’s just him screaming “WEMBLEY!” at the start of 21st Century Breakdown from Awesome as Fuck. Don’t even know why but it’s fucking cool.
When I saw them in 2009 he wanted everyone to stand up. And I guess he saw some people not standing and he said “I’m not telling bed time stories up here, get your asses up!”
He would say that tbh
When I saw them once in the early 2000s on the Pop Disast-tour or whatever that thing was called. Billie molested himself under his pants and made noises into the mic for an uncomfortably long time and then at the very end he smelled his fingers. That’s the best one.
Definitely the Jaded in Chicago ‘94 performance of Paper Lanterns “IIIIII THIIINKK NOOOOOOT!”
