Now no more guessing will be done. We have the number of discs, the track-list, cover art, release date, locations, etc.

FUCK YES WHO WROTE HOLDEN CAULFIELD FROM HOLMDEL

Posted

Dammit, just noticed there's no King for a Day!!!??!?!?!

That sucks, I was really hoping that would be on there... I love the live version so much with the medley in the middle!

Well anyways, I'm never getting to sleep tonight!

I love the setlist, but can't help but be a little disappointed that there's nothing from a show I was at. Denver and Costa Rica were both fantastic shows, and I'm surprised they didn't include either of them.

Oh my fucking god look at all the awesome old rare songs on the CD -

1. Burnout

2. Going to Pasalaqua

3. J.A.R

4. Who Wrote Holden Caufield?

5. Geek Stink Breath

6. Christie Road (digital/itunes)

7. Paper Lanterns (digital/itunes)

8. 2,000 Light Years Away (digital/itunes)

Plus we get other songs like Cigarettes and Valentines, and Letterbomb, and every other song on the album which is great too.

This album is going to fucking rule, a perfect mix of new and old material.

Where the fuck is Drama Queen? When they played that at Pittsburgh, everyone was like, "WTF?" They should have put it on there. :dry:

I'm pretty sure when the DVD comes out I'll have to rip the audio so I can make a CD of that aswell.

No King For A Day and Longview SUCKS! King For a Day is the biggest on stage tradition they have going, it's absolutely integral to a Green Day show. WHAT ARE THEY THINKING OF?

I think basically, it's been done. They don't want this to be just another version of BIAB. It's more of a celebration of Green Day's now 20 years+ career, with a great set of their latest and earliest tracks, with a few rarities (i.e. Cigs and Vals, non-single tracks from Dookie and stuff from the Lookout records).

My personal thoughts:

I'd say the CD has great songs, but could do with some more, and the DVD is a bit average. I'm sure that some of you will be dissapointed that there's no South-American content, and I'm upset for you :( Overall, quite a nice package though. I'm pleased with Cigarettes And Valentines, and Geek Stink Breath but I'm annoyed that some of the best stuff is digital download only, and not on the physical release. That ALWAYS bugs me.

P.S. I really like the artwork :) And wow, this must be my first post on here in months! For me, it's something really worth talking about :D

Also, this:

Fuck yeah Chula Vista. :cool: Each show is phenomenal, but they were ON that night.

Letterbomb isn't on the CD or DVD.

...

I'm stupid.

I didn't even look at the bonus tracks!

Better yet... rip the Blu-ray for better audio

JAR from Detroit....I'm gonna fucking cry

Good idear.

But I won't buy the BluRay until much later, more likely.

Aww March 22? I was excited to have it for my birthday, which is the 16th. Track listing is freaking amazing though!!!

Posted

Holy crap! It's for real this time! :bunny::bunny::bunny:

I thought that it would be a longer CD, though...and nothing from SA? Really? :( I was hoping at least for Whatsername ( :wub: ), and when they say 'Gloria', they mean 'Gloria!' and not 'Gloria?', right? And look at that, no Basket Case :lol: I hope that 21CB comes with SOTC in there. AND NO ST. JIMMY? AND NO KING FOR A DAY? :cry:

I see what they did here. :shifty: Almost everything in here it's what wasn't on BIB (besides the respective 21CB tracks), so they tried to make this into something that's not an updated version of Bullet in a Bible. Smart, really smart. *clap, clap* :thumbsup:

And I'm buying this, obviously. :lol:

Wait, do we know that it's gonna be released on Blu-Ray also? I thought we didn't know that for sure?

I know! I kinda understand why they kept off Longview, though. I couldn't really see them putting a random fan singing a song on there album, even if Billie did claim that person was "the best all tour".

The least they coulda done with KFAD was put on the cover medley. But, overall, I'm pretty happy with the track list. Though I was really hoping for Minority.

It just seems like they really pushed the boat out for KFAD (and Shout) with this tour, adding new stuff and making it bigger and bigger and more over the top. They worked on it and improved it more than any other song, it was a huge highlight of every show.

As usual with anything 'promotional' that Green Day release, the fun, silly and quirky elements of the band (in this case King For A Day, getting someone to sing Longview, and Hitchin A Ride) get cut out or downplayed, leaving them portrayed as less fun and more serious than they really are. It's always puzzled me that they're marketed in this way, I don't understand it.

No Denver :cry:

That's exactly what I was thinking.

DETROIT BABY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :bunny::dance::runaround::banana:

I'm so fucking happy!!!!!! :wub:

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!

I wish they'd include the medley with it :rolleyes:

Posted

Maybe the lack of South America has to do with the fact that those were the most recent dates, played when AAF was probably already in production. I know it's nothing personal, because by all accounts the SA shows (and fans) were fantastic.

Posted

Fuck yeah Burnout! :D

Posted

I'm fucking disappointed. There's nothing from the show I was at, and the DVD setlist is awful. Why would they cut out more than half the show?

I'm pretty sure I have that bootleg, it's pretty awesome quality. That version of Whatsername is my favorite version ever. I listened to it on repeat like 246 times last night. :wub:

I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT ST JIMMY! Frick.

Yeah. Maybe they want to keep that stuff for people who actually go to shows? I don't know.

I would've liked for it to been on there, especially with the time(s) the whole band went through the "I Want You To Know" part, with all its hilarity.

I'm really really happy with this, so much better than I expected :P

now I hope this thread won't get flooded with people bitching about the tracklist ¬¬
