Clayish Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 You could say the same for St. Jimmy. St. Jimmy doesn't have the same impact to the normal fans.
musso_kn Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Ehh.. They've been playing those songs for 8 years now. I could see them keeping American Idiot just because it's still a great live track and gets people going. There is absolutely no way in hell I can see them dropping American Idiot ever. It does play extremely well live and has become one of, if not the, band's signature songs. And in my opinion, as much as I want to hear rarities, experiencing such an iconic song at a concert would be exhilerating.
Red Lights Flash Posted January 18, 2013 Posted January 18, 2013 Even though they are great songs, a lot of the American Idiot songs should be left off this time around. Kinda tired of hearing Holiday, St. Jimmy, and American Idiot. As a big fan, sure. But we're the ones who spend time on a Green Day forum, we're not the "average" fan. Keep in mind that for a very large percentage of the crowd, it'll be their first Green Day show. I'd be pissed if I didn't hear those hits in that case. Also, I like hits because the entire crowd goes crazy, especially on festivals. If there's anything they should drop, it's - in my humble opinion - King for a day. I'd rather see them fool around during other songs. I was kind of expecting they'd put out some crowd-teasing song to replace King for a Day with the trilogy, but I suppose I was wrong.

Noooooo, that's the best part of the show I really hope they still have it there, it's just so much fun (and different every tour), it brings that side of GD we all know of, but as you said the average fan doesn't really know about, and I want people to see how much fun they actually are on stage, specially with Shout (now that all the band had their turn singing)! As a festival specially, where it's all about being entertained, as much as it is to hear the music and watch them playing! I'm not sure of what other song they could replace it with... But who knows... I just want their silly and funny side to be shown! That's to me one of the best things about seeing them live.
Gwen Stacy Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I think for the first third of the setlist they should get into the new stuff, like 10-13 songs, then have like 5 oldies or rarities for the fans, then the classics. Finally the acoustic encore, mix it up between like Give Me Noviacane, or Last Night On Earth or stuff from Warning.
Judges daughter 93 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 In my opinion they should rethink singing AI songs. I don't mean they shold stop playing them, because they're great...but there are too many NEW good songs that require concert, modified versions. Maybe one/two AI songs, the same with 21stCB, older stuff, and a lot of TRilogy songs. Like breath of fresh air!
Justin Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 The problem is you have so many types of fans to cater for here. You have the old school fans who want to hear some old stuff (Pasalacqua, 2000 Light Years Away, Christie Road) You have the "dookie to insomniac" fans (Basket Case, Brain Stew, When I Come Around) You have the 1998/2000 era fans, (Hitchin A Ride and Minority) Then you have the massive American Idiot era fans which is still strong as hell. So songs like "American Idiot, Holiday, Boulevard of Broken Dreams) are to cater for them 21st Century Breakdown pulled out a new audience too so "Know Your Enemy, maybe 21st Century Breakdown) Then as it's a tour for the Trilogy you have those songs coming into the mix. They have to have a setlist to cater for all these types of fans. When i saw them in 2005 and then 2009, there were very few songs that actually were dropped from the 2005 setlist, as it was full of the classic Green Day singles tracks. They just added to them from 21st Century Breakdown. Most likely, we will see less 21st Century Breakdown songs, maybe a couple. Then take a couple songs from American Idiot off the list too. Then replace these with new trilogy tracks. The songs from Dookie to Warning will generally be the same as they have been for years now.
Tubbie Head Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 That's what sucks about having so many albums, there are many awesome songs that are left out!
Annie, get your gun Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 They should stop with so many hits, and start with songs like Jinx, Panic Song, Walking Alone... I really wanna see that edit: And Restless Heart Syndrome
LittleBoyNamedTrain Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 They should stop with so many hits, and start with songs like Jinx, Panic Song, Walking Alone... I really wanna see that edit: And Restless Heart Syndrome I think there's more chance of them covering One Direction than playing Restless Heart Syndrome
Caractériel Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I'd absolutely love it if they did a three night residency, playing the three albums each night. Will probably never happen, but still. I'm guessing the setlist will be a big mash up of old and new, much like the last tour. They seem to enjoy playing the older songs, so it's unlikely they will cut many of those. All I ask is that they play Brutal Love and X-Kid live, then I'll be happy.
Annie, get your gun Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I think there's more chance of them covering One Direction than playing Restless Heart Syndrome Why? because Billie said he doesn't wanna play that song ever again? you never know... but I was actually joking about that one
IsaGreenDay Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I'm expecting their comeback to South America *cough* Argentina *cough* and at this point, any kind of crazy antic onstage Same here, if they come, hope they don't forget Brazil! Probably they will come in December or in the beginning of 2014... I don't know.
Tubbie Head Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I think there's more chance of them covering One Direction than playing Restless Heart Syndrome hahah! Billie should sing tiny bits of "What Makes You Beautiful" during the shout medley!

I don't know. They definitely won't forget Brazil!hahah! Billie should sing tiny bits of "What Makes You Beautiful" during the shout medley! Just no
IsaGreenDay Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I'm open for new experiments. If they want to play songs like Panic Song, Hold On, Sassafras Roots, No One Knows and Walking Alone more often I will totally enjoy them. I just think King For A Day, Longview, Good Riddance, Welcome To Paradise and songs like these NEED to be on the set list, that's all. Anyway, I'm really excited to see the live version of the trilogy songs, it will be amazing.
tdlyon Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Here's are my predictions for the trilogy songs: Play at every show: Nuclear Family Stay the Night Let Yourself Go Oh Love See You Tonight (played over speakers before going on) Fuck Time Stop When the Red Lights Flash Makeout Party Stray Heart Wow! That's Loud 8th Avenue Serenade X-Kid Dirty Rotten Bastards 99 Revolutions Play at some shows: Carpe Diem Kill the DJ Fell for You Loss of Control Angel Blue Sweet 16 Rusty James Lazy Bones Wild One Ashley Baby Eyes Lady Cobra Amy Brutal Love Missing You Drama Queen Sex, Drugs and Violence Little Boy Named Train Amanda Walk Away Won't play: Troublemaker Nightlife The Forgotten As you can see, I'm bored.
The Grohl Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 Cry??? I don't think I've ever seen that clip! How did that happen? Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QatBNQcAIzg
alecandstuff Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I'm expecting the shows to be very ambitious in their presentation, much like the driving force behind the albums and a similar energy to the performance we got at the VMA's, just balls-out rock and roll. At least, that's what I'm hoping for ;b
beejeezee Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 They are going to do more than 1 show, probably. and most likely more than 10. At least I know my prediction will come true right?
Mar Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I hope the shows are just as long with SLIGHTLY less ''WAAAAAAY-OHHHH''s. Also, they need to drop King For a Day/Shout. I hope they play more songs from Insomiac - Warning, like Blood, Sex & Booze, Prosthetic Head, Hold On and Westbound Sign. Good to see a good mix of things, with about 12-16 songs from the trilogy. I saw Armatage Shanks live and that was great, more of that pls. Hope to go see them on their European leg of the tour. YES to getting rid of King For A Day/Shout. The shtick has kind of gotten old. And I would just die if they did Blood, Sex and Booze.
AndrewW91 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 I hope they play Wow! That's Loud!! That would be amazing.
