madddie Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 I also loved Waiting live. I forgot about Waiting, it makes me so emotion to listen to now!
Marki. Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Words I Might Have Ate and Paper Lanterns I never ever thought I'd see these two songs live but I did and it was incredible...I can't even describe the feeling
Hermione Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Yay I can change my vote from 0 to 3 now. Blood Sex And Booze covered by the Foxies is the most enjoyable performance of a Green Day song I've experienced but I dunno if that counts haha. King For A Day/Shout is pretty hard to beat. I really really loved American Idiot at Wembley though, there was such an amazing surge of energy in the crowd, plus I got to be in a wall of death . And I got to sing along to American Idiot with Tony himself at the O2 . So possibly American Idiot. It's really hard to choose though because I've enjoyed every single song so much. One thing I would say is I never realized how great the faster songs would be in particular, like I never thought Minority or Basket Case or 21st CB would stand out as being special because they're not favourites of mine to listen to on CD. But live, wow! The energy of the crowd and the band makes those songs amazing. Same goes for 21 Guns and Good Riddance actually. Again not particular favourites of mine, but so beautiful and captivating live. My list of live favourites would definitely be totally diffrent to my list of CD favourites.
Metanoia Posted July 27, 2010 Posted July 27, 2010 When I come around, King for a day (of course), Time of your life, Viva la Gloria! was just INCREDIBLE and of course it's fuck time !!! <3 Give me Novacaine Hitchin' a ride sometimes aaahh..seriously I cant decide.....that list would go on forever.
Rachel Nimrod Armstrong Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 3 times I have been to see Green Day live and they were the BEST nights of my whole life! And my fave song that they have played live are When I Come Around ande 21 Guns=AMAZING!!
Metanoia Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 I just thought of American Eulogy which was amazing live !!!
son Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 from what i actually have heard, 80 and at the library. recorded? paper lanterns from the redundant Australian single
HoneyDo666 Posted July 29, 2010 Posted July 29, 2010 Holiday, King For A Day/Shout, 21 Guns (it's so powerful live), and KYE (because I was 5 feet from Billie when he ran out into the audience during this song and it's just so energetic and fun)!
Leisha-LUNA Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Holiday. I can barely listen to the album version now. I miss the BANG BANGs and just the raw power and energy in that track when it is played live.
21st century idiot Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Oh man... probably king for a day or brain stew
Christina. Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 I can barely listen to the album version now. I miss the BANG BANGs and just the raw power and energy in that track when it is played live. Yes yes yes. And the audience singing along, it gives me goosebumps! I'd say Are We the Waiting or Words I Might Have Ate.
jello4president Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 King For A Day... without a doubt... and Dominated Love Slave! Also Holiday, Hitchin' a Ride and Brain Stew go well...
For Lack of a Better Word Posted July 30, 2010 Posted July 30, 2010 Hearing it live made me fall in love with the song 21st Century Breakdown. Whenever I hear the intro now, I get all tingly and excited, like I'm at the start of the show all over again. And I can't help hearing Billie sing "I never made it as a working class - LET'S GO!!!"
Maddy. Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 American Idiot, Holiday, Are We The Waiting and Boulevard of Broken Dreams
whatsername..x Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Holiday. I can barely listen to the album version now. I miss the BANG BANGs and just the raw power and energy in that track when it is played live. Hell yeah! I so know what you mean!! Aswel as Holiday, I'd have to say Jesus of Suburbia and Brain Stew
BabrahamLincoln Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 American Eulogy and Jesus of Suburbia are absolutely unbelievable live.
For Lack of a Better Word Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Holiday. I can barely listen to the album version now. I miss the BANG BANGs and just the raw power and energy in that track when it is played live. Ha, those BANG BANG's totally scared the shit out of me at the first gig I went to But when I come to think about it, most songs are actually at their best live. Billie's voice can get so wonderfully raw and angry, which sometimes expresses the lyrics so much better.
Ally Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 when its time, it was so beautiful live, i cried. oh and also 21stCB too
Mrs. Nobody Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Holiday, Static Age, Novocaine and WICA are my favorites live. I'll never forget the echo from the hands clapping to the rythm of the drums for Novocaine and the lights, and odfjwsf
Maura99 Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Ha, those BANG BANG's totally scared the shit out of me at the first gig I went to But when I come to think about it, most songs are actually at their best live. Billie's voice can get so wonderfully raw and angry, which sometimes expresses the lyrics so much better. I'm still afraid of the BANG BANG's, in a way. I find Holiday, when it's sung live, very... ominous. Especially if you pay attention to the background of parading soldiers and the images of their graves. And when Billie starts to sing the national anthem right in the middle... It has a very... idk how to describe it... 'bitter' aftertaste. Don't get me wrong though, I like it better that way; I think it's the way you are supposed to take Holiday in. The 'vibe' is just so completely different from the one you get from listening to the song at home or watching the music video. After seeing it with my own eyes, I've never listened to Holiday in the same way. Pretty amazing how they can do that.
