The first time I saw Greenday in 1994, they had the audience decide between two guys to play one song. When I saw them again after they became the major band of the era, they did the same thing but a little different. Still one of the fans got to get on stage, play BJ's guitar and for sure a wonderful moment.

All that said, considering the way punks think, this is probably just the most recent shenanigans. I am willing to bet that someone started to play Freebird long before someone attempted to sneak in Wonderwall

Would actually be funny if someone were to try and play some of the George Harrison Wonderwall

Green Day is as punk as Nickleback is metal.

(I know it’s gate keeping but I can’t help myself)

greenday is totally punk

The only gatekeeping allowed in punk is the one that keeps nazis out.

They uses to do "knowledge" by operation ivy regularly. The bands were old friends from the east bay punk scene and the cover was like a tribute. A 3 chord banger that anyone could play and the crowd would get into. It was really cool when younger audience members were able to learn it on the spot and then the band backed them up.

Greenday might be oversold and played out but they put on a great fuckin show.
