YouTuber Jared Dines has gained a lot of attention recently with his "If (insert band) Was Metal" series where the guitarist covers songs from a band's catalog but in the style of metal music, creating some interesting results.

This week, Jared released a new installment focused on Green Day's music. He rips through metal versions of most of the American Idiot album, but also threw in "Basket Case" and "Good Riddance."

Check out the video below and let us know what you think in the comments.



On a side note, I fully agree with Mark Hoppus in that for bands that are still pumping out music, "was" should be "were." Hear the Blink-182 version here.
