Listen To This: Sometimes My Mind Plays Tricks On Me

Green Day is one of the best American bands, well, ever.
British folk/pop artist Pete du Pon has released in the U.K. an exquisite acoustic cover of G.D.'s classic Basket Case.

Green Day is a horrible excuse for a band.

"Green Day is one of the best American bands, well, ever."

I hate Green Day.
Love 'em!!!
ehhhh, first version was better
I love his voice!!
AWESOME!
LOVE THEM!
Perez, u find the BEST songs.
Re: adt – You're a Britney fan, Huh????
You don't know good music when you hear it…do you?
pretty good cover. Long live punk!!!
GREEN DAY REALLY SUCKS.
Greenday shit, deffinatly not the best american band ever, give yourselfs more credit
really is beautiful
i usually hate covers, but this one was pretty delicious!
gh
This is hot!
"Green Day is one of the best American bands, well, ever."
wow. i was really hoping that would turn out to be sarcasm or a joke.
yikes, Perez :/
i hate green day
Nice!! But nothing like Green Day!
ahh, he changed some of the lyrics
Aw I usually hate green day & this song is adorable. thank you perezzy. =)
ANYYYYWAYS, your looking F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S lately!! Like in the picture of you with the madonna shirt, =)
XOXO
When I listen to this, all I can think of Jonathan Coulton's cover of Baby Got Back…Which by the way, is hilarious.
this is awesome!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, I thought you just said Green Day was one of the best American bands ever!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
What are you smokin' and where can I get some?
Beautiful!
I like the original so much better
Green day is as bad as avril lavigne or sum 41. just shit
Green Day sings it better!
Loved it, where can I download it!!!
very cool.. more from pete du pon please
Re: pete – How can you compare them to Avril???
They're WAYYYYYY better than that skank!!!
wow…i really like it! so different!
now this is what a cover song should be like…an homage, but creative!
I'm trying to download the song on itunes but pete du pon doesn't even show up. How do I get this song? It's beautiful.
ok, I love green day, but this remake makes me very interested into listening to everything Pete du Pon has created! Thanks Perez for showing me a great new band!
absolutely heinous tha guys ruined it spat on it and then peed on it he should be forced to listen to avril lavinge on repeat
ew i don't like it…i think it's really cheezy. the original is SO much better.
Green Day sucks and they'll never have another hit. Their last album was crap. Everyone is so over them.
Green Day are love. Thanks for posting P.
…
ok i love Green Day..
that is why I have to say that cover is LAME.
Its like James Blunt got high.
ew.
FOO FIGHTERS are the BEST AMERICAN BAND!!
Ooooh me likey! This is really pretty. Anyone know where I can get it?
I'll admit that it is beautiful, but I adore Dookie and this is not how it was meant to be. This guy has a great voice but he shouldn't be taking it out on an already amazing song. v.v
I thought they were from Canada or some of them were?
Green Day is the best band ever!!! so true!! this cover is meh ok but nothing compared to the original. but i think if your going to do a cover dont change the lyrics just because you dont like a bisexual reference. have the balls to do it right.
that was really pretty.
i love green day.
Did you HONESTLY say that Green Day IS ONE OF THE BEST AMERICAN BANDS EVER?
Wow, I am absolutely terrified by this. I was just thinking the other day how incredibly AWFULL that band Green Day is
this is so disturbing i want to cry for you
Greendays okay…
but the greatest band eva? no..no..no..
THE ALL AMERICAN REJECTS is the greatest band ever…JMO
and I'm fallin inlove with OneRepublic. Thier amazin.
how can i download that?
green day is crap perez wtf
I like Green Day, but this cover made me fall alseep. zzzzzzzZZZZZzzzzzzzzZZ
I listened to this and thought.."beautiful"..it made me cry. Then I thought, hey who sang this originally? Duh Green Day!
YUCK. this version sucks. GREENDAY ROCK!!
Green Day is not an American Band
he may have something if he used a little emphasis while singing some of the words. some of the words need more emphasis than others but he doesn't do it.
Re: 5g – both of them call their music "punk-rock" whereas it's not. just cheesy music for teenage girls.
THAT SUCKED BALLS!!!!!!
AMAZING!!! Where did you find it?
YUCK! That cover SUCKS!!!
Green Day one of the greatest American bands ever? No fucking way! Perez, you do realize there was great music before 1995? It seems you cannot bring yourself to listen to anything older than 10-15 years.
COOL SONG-GROM JENNIFER
Green Day, one of the best bands ever? Fuck, if that's what an American considers good music, count me proud to be Canadian. No one here likes them. Billie Joe's what, 40? And still acting like a 15 year old mall punk. Looooooser.
Sux!
Horrible version of this song.. I couldn't make it all the way through. I love Green Day, but PLEASE no yuck sounding versions… just the original!!
This cover is so dull and boring, the guy sounds like bedwetter, crying all the time.
FUCKING AWESOME!
green day sucks ballcock.
Re: Erin – It makes me want to put it on fast forward! Pretty BUT this song is suppose to make u want to tear up your closet
that cover sucks.
cock gobbles
Thanks
Green day is the BEST!
This is worse than a turd sandwich
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this.
amazing cover but it sounds wrong when he gets to this bit xxxxx
I went to a shrink
To analyze my dreams
She says it's lack of sex
That's bringing me down
I went to a whore
Not a massive fan of Greenday since they sold out - but I love Basketcase and this cover - its so different to the normal squeaky pre-pubescent covers you hear
WOW… that was a really great rendition of basket case…. so pretty and unique.
That was beautiful.
Terrible cover. This song was clearly written to be a fast song and I could not stand how slow this version was. I usually like acoustic versions of songs but this one was just…ugh.
wow. sweet cover of an awesome song.
love it!
That song was f'in slow! Not for me.
green day is a canadian band you dumb fuck. thats common knowledge. and you are pathetic if you think they are the best anything… drop dead
That may be one of the most ridiculous things I have ever read on your site. Green Day as one of the best American bands? Perez, you act like you are so cultured, above the triviality of the mainstream music scene and you just named one of the biggest sell-outs of our generation as a great American band. Just because Green Day was smart enough to capitalize on what America was going through with the Bush administration and the war in Iraq doesn't mean they are a great band, it means they have a good marketing team– they can barely play their instruments.
i love green day more than anything and i love billie joe armstrong so much….their music is so special and apsolutely fantastic…..green day are the best bend ever and ever and ever and ever………and 4ever…..this cover is ok but….the real green day version is much better…..green day rules xx
PUNK'S NOT DEAD.
Wow, I love it!
Green Day's my favorite band, and this version is completely different and beautiful!!
Thanks for posting it.
That is an awesome covert. Love Green Day….. love this covert!! Great find!
Uh–NOOOOO! This version really sucks!
I love both versions, but I like Green Day's better.
Craptacular!
horrible! that song is not meant to be slow and folky.
I agree Perez, Greenday is def one of the best American bands. And Billie Joe is yummy.
Green Day is most defintely one of the greatest American Bands ever. Look at their stats, listen to how their sound has evolved, and listen to their messages and their voices…they were one of the only bands to recently put out a politically charged album.
LUV PEREZ!
This is complete and utter rubbish. BARFING…………
I always knew you were awesome.
And, that first sentence just proved that. :]
They're by far my fave band.
I'm not too sure about the cover though.
While, he has a decent voice.
It doesn't really suit the song.
