"Little Tour Named Train"

 

A somewhat ironic name considering the tour is about half the size of what it was meant to be :D

But very, very fitting considering it's gone through a couple of name changes now and nobody has a clue how to manage the damn thing. :lol: Thank the Dark Lord the music is still good.

"Stop When the Bus Lights Flash Tour" would be the best choice.

Is this whole thread seriously still just about the name? It's decided, we might as well be at peace with it. I would've thought we'd moved on by now, but whatever. I don't care what the tour is called. I just want to see a Green Day concert!

To be honest, it's what the guys do best -- politically-rooted concept arena rock that merges classic rock'n'roll vibes with an in-your-face punk attitude.  That's Green Day being true to themselves, so props to Warner for finally recognizing THAT at least.  That being said, 99 Revs, as great as it plays live, isn't a branding hook that's going to grab attention for the tour.  I agree with someone else's post in the GDA comments that calling it the "Wow! That's Loud Tour" would have been a little piece of awesomeness.  And yeah, they'd better put THAT one on the setlist or someone's gonna be pissed. :P

Hmm not sure about finally. They've been marketing them that way ever since AI came out (and when I say they I mean whoever's job it is to market them, not necessarily just Warner). That is Green Day being true to themselves, but so is making fun retro party songs. That's Green Day being true to themselves right now. It's a bit of a shame they're not brave enough to market them as today's true Green Day instead of clinging to marketing them as the AI era's Green Day. I agree on Wow! That's Loud though :D

It's decent news in the Green Day world, and this place is made to talk about this sort of thing so it's no surprise that people have done so.

If this is the name of the tour now are they possibly going to have 99 Revolutions be a single or is there no chance of that? I love 99 Revolutions

With so many new songs, do you think the shows will have a even longer setlist and ail be longer in time?

The Irving Plaza show had 42 songs, longer that the 21st Century Breakdow shows I think 45 or 47 songs will be ok to fit good songs

I'm 99% sure that they won't, but will have a higher ratio of new:old songs. I hope I'm wrong. MOAR GD!!!

99 Revolutions is the perfect name. It implies that they're going to be revolving around the world 99 times. As long as they stop in the Bay again after the Berkeley tour I support 99 shows across the globe.

Sadly. Although they did release a live album called Awesome As Fuck, so the idea isn't that crazy.

Because of the word. Not sure if you're American or not, but people here, in general, are not too tolerant of curse words. Not too tolerant about anything actually. I know tour names aren't THAT important but Green Day isn't going to advertise a tour with the word "fuck" in it.
