Popular Post Christian's Inferno! Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 Honestly, I think you guys are being babies. People on the Fall Out Boy and Weezer reddit communities seem to be excited, meanwhile you guys are just complaining before the tour's even been announced yet. A lot of people who are fans of GD are also fans of FOB and/or Weezer. GD is my favourite band, I'm mixed on FOB and Weezer but they both have good songs 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn’t coheadline tho. Green Day are much bigger than either of them 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can handle a co-headline show even if it’s not what I want. Ticket prices are what I’m really worried about.

Dado_xx91 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 https://www.facebook.com/events/418132445499076/ There's already a FB event for the Paris show. It says from 7pm to 11:30pm, so if the times are true I guess they could play 1 hour each band, or GD could play 1:30 hours but still way less than an usual GD set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post LaughingClock Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 2 hours ago, Matt. said: Use this thread to talk/speculate about the for-sure-happening-but-not-announced world tour that Green Day will be going on with Weezer and Fall Out Boy (well, in all reality, Weezer and Fall Out Boy are going with Green Day but you understand what I mean). Not in Japan. Do you guys have any idea how big Weezer are in Japan? Now everyone is so sure that this line up will tour stadiums and in Europe they will sell stadiums and that’s really just logistics. I personally have not a clue but I am sure Crush who reps them, as you all know, knows that Weezer can sell out stadiums on their own in Japan. I am not sure, even with this line up, outside of NY and LA, unless the album is a smash that they can pull off a US stadium tour. Even the vaunted Paul McCartney who is a legend amongst legends couldn’t sell out stadiums in every state but he can on the costal ones but in middle America he plays mostly arenas but I saw him sell the HELL out of Dodger stadium this year, again. (Second time I’ve seen him there. Was with people that saw him in 66 making it 3x he’s sold that place out and it’s beautiful). I am what they call a venue whore. I LOVE VENUES and places like Wrigley and Dodger Stadium are just a delight for shows. I love historic venues. In Mexico City and Argentina, this tour could sell 200k seats I would think. Lets face it, this is a rock n roll dream tour. A rock ensemble. I’ve absolutely loved GD obviously since their inception pretty much and the same can go for Weezer but it is Weezer who will be headlining in Japan. That said, I’ll be interested to see what this tour is gonna look like in America. I love both shows but seeing Weezer and Green Day are two vastly different and amazing experiences. I booked Weezer about 10 years ago now and they are the nicest bunch of guys and their music live is a different experience but their live experience is a totally different ball game then GD. I hope FOB opens personally but I, in all fairness to them have seen them live once, in what was a festival experience which is always different. I guess this is a traveling small festival. I wouldn’t even mind it being a 2 day camping show a couple spots. It will be interesting and I’m excited for it. We will see and I am going to catch up on some FOB and see if I can get into them. Weezer happens to be one of my favorite bands of all time. If the album does even pretty well, and I think it will, I expect a second leg with GD only. I enjoy spectacles only a little less than the intimate shows so I’m looking forward to the stadium rock but I wouldn’t NECESSARILY think that in Tulsa they will not still be playing arena rock. Either way; I’m happy and maybe they will be. Three very strong headliners for sure and to make it more interesting, a little bit of a crossing of fans. I guarantee that there are a lot of Weezer fans that think they don’t like GD. I have friends, even ones in the industry, who have never been to a GD show and I think I’ve never brought a virgin to a show that didn’t fucking LOVE it and so I think all GD fans will love Weezer if they don’t already and GD will get a HUGE set of new fans because of this tour, and more record sales. At first, I was a little on the fence thinking about this, but Crush, good job. Good times a coming. Wish I wasn’t so fucking busy this season. Edit: I just read some of the responses and do you guys really think that BJA would allow anything less than 2 hours of GD on a tour that featured them as the headliner? Edit 2: this might be a mini tour. This could be the time when GD usually does a mini tour but that’s usually to try out the new songs and get the cobwebs off. I’ll be curious to see if this will be a full fledged tour or not. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I don't get how people think GD are bigger than FOB right now. FOB in 2015 had several hits and their album American Beauty/American Psycho was huge. Even Mania in 2018, even though it did pretty poor commercially by their standard still had better sales and streaming numbers than Revolution Radio 3 minutes ago, Beerjeezus said: Well, if someone is happy about this that's good and I'm not saying anything against that.

But you don't even know anything about this tour yet other than GD are touring with Weezer and FOB. Both bands are fans of Green Day, they have crossover appeal and you're making the assumption that you'll be paying more for less GD. You don't know anything about the tour yet Btw if Weezer don't play El Scorcho on this tour, I'll be mad!

I am unsure how reliable all this info is tbh, I feel you should expect an announcement like this to come from official sources first, not some random french concert site...I mean we are talking 3 major artists here, a huge management company and lots of people involved...surely they are very aware of what's going on here, seems unlikely these french guys would be the ones to find out first and no action taken against them for posting early...still I might be wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in a weird place where they're too big for that but not really on a par to be co headliners imo. I guess maybe it would be billed as all three but Green Day would really be the main act.

Minority103 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I don't really like this thing (if it true), for lots of reasons: -Tickets' costs -cutted setlist -3 fandoms wanting the bests spots -3 fandoms buying tickets!!! (in italy they sell out in 3 minutes (by their own), what bout now???? 0:30 secs? -I'd prefer a GREEN DAY tour. GD Headliner and stop. We know they use to do festivals, so I hope this would be just a part of a leg, following an arena tour. In that case I'd be ok with that ahah 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like this still sounds expensive though If they're co-headlining it's absolutely shit and most probably not worth it, if they're just support bands, it's not great, not terrible. Probably still expensive enough to consider not going and two bands I'm not interested in, but at least the gd would play a regular set. 4 minutes ago, Minority103 said: We know they use to do festivals, so I hope this would be just a part of a leg, following an arena tour.

tomdsjames Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Plenty of UK festivals do the 'co-headliner' thing just to stroke the smaller bands ego. Who ever comes on last gets the longer set. Green Day are still the bigger band, regardless of recent chart success. That's why they sell out stadiums when they come over and Fall Out Boy play arenas. Green Day have had an extra 20 years building up their fanbase and reputation as one of the best live bands around, they will easily get a longer set. Also, can you really imagine any of the guys in Green Day agreeing to play a shorter set after the iheart radio incident 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Libertine Angel Posted September 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted September 7, 2019 Yeah, I'm not pleased with this news. It could be decent, but it is totally a Crush moneygrab scheme and I'd be surprised if the prices weren't exorbitant. It was steep last time but at least we got the Interrupters, more money for less interesting bands sounds pretty shitty to me. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Rivers loves to sing about those"Goddamn, half-Japanese girls". I'm OK with this announcement. If it gets a lot of publicity (which it will) then that's good for the band's relevance and staying power. I could do without Fall Out Boy, but Weezer is one of my favorite bands and they are a lot of fun live. Plus, how great will it be when Weezer performs El Scorcho and they sing, "I asked you to go to the Green Day concert" and we all scream in joy? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wretched & Divine Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm just gonna keep hoping this doesn't come to Australia. No way I'll be able to afford traveling for it, or that I want to compete with FOB fans for barrier Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
