Greenday: Anyway, here’s Wonderwall!

Well this is awkward… 

A lot of bands and artists do the thing where they get a fan from the crowd to join them onstage to sing a song, or jam an instrument.

Foo Fighters had a pretty unforgettable moment when they grabbed a guy with KISS face paint, to join them on stage for their song “Monkey Wrench!” 

Greenday recently had a fan on stage to join them for their song “Good Riddance!” 

It’s 4 chords… Just remember 4 chords, and remember the pattern they follow during specific parts of the song. And BOOM! You’ve nailed it! Bona fide rockstar for the evening!

Until you DON’T nail it:

The fan started strong, but then… BARELY INTO THE SONG, he walked up to Greenday Frontman, Billie Joe Armstrong and told him “Hey man, I can’t remember the rest of the song…” 

And BLESS Billie Joe, in an effort to help the fan he actually started naming guitar chords!

Unfortunately, this wasn’t a guitar lesson… It was a live concert in front of THOUSANDS of people! The fan was escorted off because as they say… the show must go on! 

Call it nerves, call it too much before the concert, call it what you want! Fact is: The fan had the stones to attempt this, and when he screwed up Billie Joe just laughed it off! 

Well done dude, but time to put in the practice for when the next big band pulls through your neck of the woods!

Right, who ELSE wants to hear the song in its entirety!?

Here it is with ZERO Wonderwall!
