Green Day Band • Page 156

Looks like the album is called Saviors and is coming out on January 12th.

 

Ah, The AV Club: you used to be cool!

 

Where'd you see this? I'm so fucking behind lol

 

I was hoping for a Pop Disaster Tour 2. BITH bands have new albums. Would’ve been perfect. Ah well

 

Can't wait to peep those two songs. Hopefully it stays up until I get home

 

“He looks like the pigeon lady from Home Alone 2 if she were a Bulls fan”. Loooool!!

 

They might be playing American idiot in full tonight at wwwy 4 songs in and it’s the first 4 songs off of American idiot

 

They're playing Know Your Enemy now after Boulevard lol, false alarm

 

Yes I know I saw. I was just coming back to post that

 

What a fucking tease

 

Song six is Longview

 

Most cliche green day set you could ever imagine. Why are they still putting on the same show? I don't get it. Aren't THEY tired of it? Same songs. Same hey ohs, same "bring kid up to play knowledge", same jokes....

Don't get it man.

 

The fact that they added Homecoming is very exciting to me

 

They just played a show a couple days ago with a totally different set list.

A festival show is always going to be more of the classics and hits. I would wait for their next tour to judge their set.

 

At least they left off King For A Day. I personally wouldn't need masses of change to the songs, just a reduction of the drawn out elements. Would rather stick in Nice Guys Finish Last, Scattered, Walking Contradiction or another less common but not too unusual cut.

 

HOMECOMING. Please please please keep that in the set, boys.

 

Homecoming is a nice add.

I always feel really unsatisfied when they play Brain Stew, but not Jaded

 

Yup. I left right after that. Haha. I was ready to leave when they played their intro music for like 10 minutes before coming out. And their “hey ho” stuff in the middle of just about every song and in between just about every song for old reeeeeal fast. Haha.

 

I’d rather have Green Day focus on retooling their set than a new album. Ain’t about song choices but bits. They are incredible live band, but man doing the same bits from intro, to hey ohs, kid dive during Know Your Enemy, extended break on Hitchin’, kid on guitar for Knowledge, etc for what 15-20 years now?

And yes Homecoming was nice add yesterday but casual fans I went with (who do know the Green Day hits) were like “so felt like half the show was two super long songs, kids on stage, and hey ohs”

Anyone else feel they are reaching a bit with stadiums? Assume it will be MLB parks with 40-50k vs football stadiums. Given how many people left after Blink last night I just don’t get the sense Green Day is THAT big. Or rather Smashing Pumpkins are big enough as top support.

 

I mean, right? Its bizarre. Its gone from inside joke to ughhhhhh major groan.

 

I want more hey-oh's next tour, actually. Give me a 15 minute version of Oh Yeah.

 

I mean, what else are they going to do? I don’t disagree but GD hasn’t put out music that really resonated with the masses in quite awhile. They almost have no choice but to keep doing the same thing until they have some new music people want to hear live.

 

I’ve never seen Green Day but planning to finally change that on this next tour. I’m pretty excited to see this set everyone is groaning about lol

 

Joke's on you – that's when they change it! lol

 

Honestly, I like everything they’ve put out aside from the majority of the trilogy/FOAM, so I’ll likely be satisfied with any set they could throw together lol
