Look. I'm not a sentimental guy but...Greenday invites audiance members to play on stage!

[JanMichael]

Even if a couple were "ringers", which I doubt but don't really care (most big concerts are full of burgeoning hopeful future musical rock stars so who am I to judge?), it's still a fun and engaging super video!

The guys really seem to want to engage with the fans which usually seems SO superficial. But not here.

How many people can admit that their profession is special but not unattainable (Under most dumb circumstances) are there ANYMORE? I guess what I mean is that everyone has special talents and just because a few end up rich and famous that doesn't mean that they can't be emulated almost identically - perfectively....

1. U2 does that at every show

2. Brave Combo does that

They're not happy unless they finish the show with the stage full of audience members. And if the audience won't come to the stage, Carl will go into the audience:

3. Last summer at each Green Day tour gig Billie Joe invited a child,

some as young as 9 or 10, up to the stage to be "saved" when the group performed "East Jesus Nowhere." He was mock channeling Benny Hinn and having a lot of fun with it. One night he even "saved" his own kid.

A lot of the fun of seeing the band live is the way they engage with the audience - making audience members part of the show.
