I love the song and I'm proud to have seen the 3 raw videos from the video shoot for it. It definitely looks like the inside of Studio 880 in Oakland. I think that people who put it up on places like youtube and such so that other people can get it for free should be fined or something. Because it is stealing on one way. It's letting people have the song without paymet, for which that is why Green Day released this song, so that people could buy it and the money go to the Darfur charity. I hate rip-off people.

Oh and to also add. Someone I know is totally against this song, despite being a Green Day fan, they are deliberately not going to listen to the cover song as they say it's a 'trend' that all poser Green Day fans are going to listen to. For one, I think that although it's an opinion, it is in-correct to say something like that. It is NOT a trend for 'poser' Green Day fans to want to listen to a song and want to help charity. So there.

I'm not really to fond of it. I dunno, I just don't like Billie's voice in it.
It's been circulating my radio station though.

The thing I don't like about the song is that Billie doesn't have the emotion and pain that John Lennon had in the original version. It's not...personal enough.

Some people will buy the CD anyway, and some people won't buy it anyway.

and uh. Did you never watch a music video on youtube?

You can search 'Green Day - Working Class Hero' on YouTube. It's there.

They did an awesome job! I even learned how to play it on guitar. ^_^

It gets a lot of radio airplay here. Honestly, it's repetitive and just boring. And I'm not too crazy about the lyrics either. Confused

somebody tell me why this is supposed to be the second most popular fan site.

this was right at the bottom of page one in this section. and yet, most other forums have this stickied, have links to the video, grab shots from it and everything.

i hate the video.


How heartless are you? The video nearly made me cry... Billie's voice was absolutely amazing, and there were the people from Darfur talking... I mean, just, DAMN... it was an amazing video.

Sam Bayer outdid himself this time. Hug

And besides that, goddamn, I love them for this. Were it not a badass cover of a great song by a great artist where all three are simply amazing, just the cause makes me love it.

Not much.
I mean, i knew about this before green day decided to get all political and shove the whole 'charity' thing down our throats.

Plus, the whole thing idea of the video, didn't match the song.

but, you know, i guess i'm part of the ~80%~
