In this week's installment of [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/news/tags/throwback-thursday/]#ThrowbackThursday[/turl] we're bringing you back to 1998 when Green Day got kicked off "Recovery TV" for an impromptu performance of their song "The Grouch."

Anyone familiar with "The Grouch" knows that its [turl=http://www.greendayauthority.com/music/song/67/]lyrical content[/turl] isn't something for family viewing. Originally Green Day was only scheduled to do an interview on the show and not perform. If you want to skip past the interview and go right to the performance go to 8:30.
