Green Day “Wake Me Up When September Ends” Live on the Howard Stern Show

Basically 50 years old and he’s stil got the same voice as in 90s. This man never ages.

The sound engineers on Howard Stern deserve a grammy

When you realize that the song is growing older and Green Day is growing older, yet regardless of how much time has passed, the song hits just as hard as it did 16 years ago.

The way he sings this and how he says “I think about him everyday”... You can just tell after almost 20 years playing this song still hurts him...

Among one the best poetic words dedicated to a father.

Billie Joe is a vampire. Doesn't even age.

You could see the seriousness in the whole band faces, knowing this is a hard song for Billie to sing, which just show how much they stick together and support eachother through thick and thin

My dad died when I was 30. I am gay, and never grew up loving him very much. I was very much embarrassed by how he teased me and made me feel. I felt very alienated by him growing up. I was the first born and named after him. He fought hard to make me exactly like him. I rebelled. I hated him. We didn’t talk much in my teens, and he was diagnosed with liver failure when I was 17. We spent the last 13 years getting to know each other and finding common ground. I learned to love, respect and admire things about him. It was great. Then he slowly died in front of me. I literally watched him try to stay alive. Nightly calls. Long conversations about life and the past. He apologized for everything. For how he used to make me feel. Told me he didn’t know any better. I learned a lot about him during this hard time. I learned a lot of things I needed to know, as well as things I didn’t want to. My dad fought a lot of battles. He wasn’t given much in life, and lived a totally different life than I did. But somehow we were meant to coincide. Meant to challenge and learn from each other. I will never forget him. I will always love him. And when people tell me I look like him, I appreciate it more than I ever have. I’m his son. He is my dad. No matter how different we are, we are family. This song means more than I can explain.

I always thought people were exaggerating on how young Billie looks in his late 40s,but holy hella mega shit does he look young in this video.

I remember my teacher when I was younger told me this was his favorite song because he hated coming back to work in September after the summer break. lol

Lost my dad at 19 in September 2016, september is a hard month for me too. I loved this song growing up but it took on so much more meaning after his passing. Shits hard. I miss you, dad.

I feel like there's so much pressure on the acoustic guitarist to play the same notes over and over perfectly lol

You know you're getting old when people call this classic rock.

Never gets old...

Didn’t know the story behind this song... now it has definitely changed the meaning... sure your dad is proud of how far you’ve done and how many people you’ve helped. Green Day forever 💚.

This song reminds me of when I came home for R & R from Iraq only to end up watching my dad die from cancer, he was at the VA hospital in Palo Alto, my girlfriend at the time, who was such a huge part of my life, she collapsed in my arms when we walked in his room and saw that his brother had pulled the plug, that song managed to come on the radio at the same time, while we were at around the same location on 280 pretty much for an entire week straight, beautiful blue skies, beautiful drive, and that song would come on the radio. That song will always remind me of 2005. I miss you Dad.

I used to listen to green day religiously when I was in school and now 7 years later I'm wondering where all that time went!

The intro always takes me back in time when everything is good and simple.

I lost my twin siblings last Sept. 16, 2016 and every year after that I just play this song and cry

Talent. They sound 100% like an edited studio version, and this was live on a talkshow...Insane.
