That Dude Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 1 minute ago, The Grohl said: I dream of concerts where the main band just opens their own show. No disrespect to opening bands, but most of the time I'm not interested It's even worse on these "package" tours. That's a trend that needs to die already. One or two bands is plenty. Even if it's multiple good bands, it's rough being there for so many hours. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One is enough for me. I don't think I've been to a single show where I enjoyed all bands on the bill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedundantIdiot Posted November 24, 2020 Share Posted November 24, 2020 Not a fan of concerts where there's more than two acts. I'm still hoping that HM can happen either next year or 2022, but hoping there isn't a support act and concerned about the length of time to change the sets.

NO! Hella Mega is the best tour ever. Even Pop Disaster wasn't that good. The Interrupters, Weezer, FOB and Green Day. LET'S GO! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slave To The Network Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 I mean, Billie has always said he wants to die on stage. If we're technically speaking, a person can be medically dead for awhile and come back to life. I've been trained multiple times in CPR, just sayin'. I got you, Billie, if you want to go for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 They did do a full nearly 3 hour Green Day arena show and then a two hour FBHT show in one night once. Honestly just that they did it one time is impressive enough! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jengd Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Totally agree, and The Network opened for Green Day but I’m sure in both cases that was more than enough, must have been exhausting. One show in that red suit would be bad enough 😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freezing Melons Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 If they did little "sets" like 4 or 5 songs from each (maybe do closer to 10 for Green Day) I saw John Mayer a few years back, and he had a full band set up open the show, did a little acoustic set, then did his John Mayer Trio blues set, and finished with the full band again. It was like seeing 4 different acts / set ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did something similar to that for Tre’s birthday at the Tiki Bar last year it was like Transformers to see them go from Coverups to Longshot to FBHT to Green Day switching players around. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grohl Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 All I ask of Green Day is just have one opening band. Like on the Revrad tour. That was perfect! And Dogparty was pretty good! I'm so sick of these tours with 2 or more opening bands. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People pay to see Green Day. Not whoever is opening for them. Why draw it out even more with multiple bands?? 🙄 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Alegre has a great and locally famous Punk Rock band, that have already done a whole tour along with Marky Ramone, but the local producers chosen a band that has nothing to do with punk rock to add to the bill... terrible choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Little Boy Named Booze Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Yes, having one band to open for them is enough. Like during RevRad with Against Me! or in 2009 with AFI or even All Time Low during the trilogy tour (i think it was only in europe tho). But it's not the same when you have 3 MAJOR BANDS. God even The Interrupters are umbelievable. Honestly I paid those tickets to HM for Green Day but I love as fuck the 3 bands before the big name. That's why this tour was like the fucking perfect tour for me. Everything was there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first time I saw blink, Taking Back Sunday & Weezer opened. I think I was 14, but my friends and I spent the whole day hanging around the amphitheatre watching all the bands doing all the activations. I'm all for it.

All the three bands are huge acts, I know that GD is the headliner, but I doubt they will play a 2 and a half hours set, and with this, they will probably stuck into the hits every night 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
