Billie Joe Armstrong reveals Green Day song that’s “too hard” to play live

December 24, 2019

Green Day have been around quite a while. That usually means band’s have acquired quite a discography. So, they can’t play every song they’ve ever written live and usually play a blend of crowd-pleasers, hits and new songs to cater to everyone. But, Billie Joe Armstrong stated the only reason they don’t play “Panic Song” live is because it’s too hard.

Armstrong is also showcasing some young talent on his Instagram. He’s posting videos of young musicians playing Green Day covers.

In one of the instances of Armstrong posting two guys covering “Macy’s Day Parade” a rather humorous exchange took place in the comments section. A commenter asked Billie Joe why he doesn’t play “Panic Song” off Insomniac live and Billie responded by saying “it’s too hard, and I’m too lazy.”

The Green Day founder has been very generous as of late. He just made headlines for donating to the fundraiser in support of the kid who booked the Denny’s hardcore show last week.

Let’s first fully catch you up if you’ve missed this cultural zeitgeist. A 17-year-old booked a power violence band named WACKO to play a show at a Denny’s in Santa Ana, CA. The kid, Bryson Del Valle, said it was his birthday.
