Green Day Fan Invited On Stage to Play ‘Good Riddance,’ Plays ‘Wonderwall’ Instead

At Green Day's show in Luxembourg, a fan invited on stage to play "Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)' wound up playing Oasis' 'Wonderwall' instead.

And so it’s no surprise that Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has started using the song as a chance to invite fans on stage to play it with him. The young man enlisted for this very special honor used this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to do an extremely bold and — we have to admit — good bit. Based on one video, it appears the young guitarist got Armstrong to do about half of the first verse over a chord progression that sounds a bit like “Wonderwall,” but definitely isn’t “Good Riddance.” Thinking that maybe his guest had just started playing it in the wrong key, Armstrong gave the guy some quick instructions, and even remarked with a laugh, “You told me you could play this one!”
