As captured on social media earlier this week, Green Day hit the New York City Subway to showcase songs from their new album, Saviors. The punk band joined The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon at the 50th Street station, where they dressed in disguise to perform the band’s hit 1994 “Basket Case” and a cover of Bad Company’s “Feel Like Makin’ Love.”
Once they started playing, of course, the band stripped off their disguises. Fallon grabbed a tambourine to take part in the performance.
Although only two songs made it to air on the late-night show, The Tonight Show released a bonus video with performances of two new songs, “Dilemma” and “Look Ma, No Brains!,” which appear on their latest LP Saviors, as well as “American Idiot.”
