I'm actually glad they didn't make a big deal of the American Idiot 10th anniversary. I don't think it'd have done them good to continue milking that album after they'd already made a big deal about Dookie the previous year. It wouldn't have gone down well to focus on old albums in back to back years, especially given how poorly the Trilogy did. I mean generally speaking they've milked the cash cow of American Idiot absolutely dry. Obviously it's a very significant album, and on a personal level it's undoubtedly the most important record ever released, but it needs leaving alone at this point.

Billiejoat.

I love how the only person allowed to call him BJ is 80's dad

*chimps arse* EDIT: Chomps arse, even.

My ideal Green Day show would have new songs.

That makes more sense, really.

So did I until I read this.

An audible in a set list is a song that can be changed to something else during the show. Sort of a "we could play Jaded, or we could play The Judge's Daughter".

Then I will make the 20 hour flight I think he wanted us to take the bait.

Where did you found those pics ? are these shirts on ebay?

no the photo has been photoshopped, the original is of Billie and Paul McCartney

THIS ENTIRE POST IS SO OFFENSIVE you know i hate anklebiters shut up tomnom

I never knew that, and you are the set list man!

Does anyone have photos with the band including Jason Freeze, Ronnie Blake, etc.? Pictures of them as a six-piece or bigger. I've found some on google, but not many.

i hung out with my partner in crime and late night bus ride home skillet today. showing off his 58 es 335. @jw_cuatroxx the kid is lookin good . handsome devil. happy b day sonny! #kickingcancersass !! So happy to have an update!! These two cuties.

Both of you put WICA in the wrong place. I like the WICA around bass line better than Longview. There, I said it!

Doesn't it really depend on the words preceding BJ?

Is about domestic violence against women - Google it Obama made a speech today.

I used to think in JOS it was Home is weighing hard, its a bloody shame

Sassafras Roots, When I Come Around, Having A Blast, She, Coming Clean, Basket Case, Burnout, Pulling Teeth, Emenius Sleepus, Chump, Welcome To Paradise, FOD, In The End, Longview. Bite me. There's also the fact that the band have said the recording process of American Idiot was the most fun they've ever had. It's possible to write music full of large-scale displeasure with politics and the general state of the world and still be in a good place on a personal level.

Yes, but to over analyze them to the point of assuming the band members are "unhappy with their lives" while writing them is just silly. Especially to assume American Idiot is a "cry for help" — it's an allegory of Billie's younger days, if anything — or 21CB is indicative of real-life "giving up." The band was on top of the world after American Idiot came out, so that interpretation of 21CB's intentions makes no sense to me. And we've already beaten the trilogy's proverbial dead horse to death. I know music often comes from an inspired place, and sometimes that warrants some reading between the lines, but people on this site have a tendency to over analyze to the extreme.

Yeah but sex drugs violence

Last of the American Girls I thought is was rubber coat instead of overcoat. & I still sing for when I come around sleazin my backyard like a tom cat when I know its so dont get so uptight.

You are most definitely invited.

This one is small, is it when they play my birthday party? How can you hve a trilogy set list without Brutal Love?

And F(Woo) Time must be one of them

OK I will give you a challenge - setlist of only trilogy songs - has to be a normal length concert say 28 songs.

They might make a Makeout Party remake while they're at it. Lil's enlightened insight into poetry could really make it perfect. They're not full of happiness, either.

Um, no???

Are we demented or am I disturbed? The space thats in between insane and insecure

Crazy that it's so simple yet so stunning. Thanks for finding this.

I have a horrible cold, including a fever the last couple of nights, and all the times I've woken up in a cold sweat during the night I've immediately thought of "I woke up in a pool of sweat, at first I thought that I pissed the bed" , which has made it slightly more bearable.

How dare my professor give an exam on Billie Joe's birthday I should say I need that day off for religious observance

Driving happily to work listening to JOS - pulled over $150 speeding fine - officer what was your reason for speeding - answer - no reason just singing - by the time he had taken my details given me a stern talking to JOS was still playing - such an epic song

You mean what they were gonna play after Basket Case?

I didn't know at first if it was "the rain" or "Loraine" who was falling from the stars...

Now that I have a bass, I've finally learned to play No One Knows. I've been meaning to learn it for over a year, I feel so fucking satisfied right now
