A teenage boy had the time of his life at Green Day 's Glasgow gig after being invited on stage to play guitar alongside his idols in front of thousands of screaming fans. Ren Paterson, 17, was picked out of the crowd by punk frontman Billie Joe Armstrong after the singer spotted his sign asking: "Can I play Basket Case?".
The youngster, a music student at New College Lanarkshire, was brought on stage at Bellahouston Park and strapped up with a guitar to play live alongside Billie Joe, bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool on Tuesday night. Speaking to the Record, the teenager says the experience still doesn't feel real.
Ren, from Chapelhall near Airdrie, said: "When Billie Joe came down the catwalk he saw my sign and asked if I can play Basket Case but I wasn't expecting him to actually let me. It was all a bit of a blur and it didn't feel real. It still doesn't.
