Eh, I kinda agree with their decision to replace Good Riddance with Brutal Love. Brutal Love is new, shows immense emotion/passion, and is a bit more pleasing to hear than the one song that's been on repeat for 10+ years or so.

Oh they replaced it with brutal love? In that case I'm more than happy with it, it's an incredible song. I just can't imagine them ending shows without a more emotional song... Brutal love definitely ticks that box.

Well, they have closed out with it recently. I'd love for it to be permanent. I didn't think it was going to be played live b/c of the absence of an orchestra on tour, but I am definitely glad they are doing it (Orchestra or not)

It should be rare and new songs and singles

Big singles basket case AI boulevard ect

Brain stew defo can go its a bit dull. And been in set for years get a trilogy track in

Also wish 99 rev was at the encore when I seem them in Germany last year was a great end if see track. A bit like minority

I agree also warning tracks are underrated and should see more light

I really think loss of control directly followed by makeout party would be an awesome combo. And whats up with no dirty rotten bastards!?

Oh yeah i would love to hear 21st century breakdown if i went to a concert. Best song of that album.

I'm ok wit this. I never was in love with the song like some people. Sorry. Not that's it's a bad song because it's not. It just reminded me too much of WMUWSE and BOBD. And I am sick of those songs.

Church on Sunday, Fashion Victim, or Castaway would be amazing.

Church On Sunday is one of my favourite songs, could even make top 3 i think.

I have no idea how it went from being such a staple in the setlist around that era to never seeing the light of day again :(

That last sentence pretty much sums up Warning perfectly. So many unique and inventive songs, yet so unappreciated. I bet many Green Day fans don't even know that Minority is on it.

I'm ridiculously happy about 21 Guns being excluded. I fucking hate that song. But Good Riddance needs to come back. Brutal Love works better as an intro than a finale.

I don't think lazy bones is too close to home for billie to play... Tonnes of his sons are super personal/autobiographical. I mean, he played WMUWSE on the 30th anniversary of his father's death... I think he can handle it.

He says lazy bones is too much for him to listen to what makes you think he can perform it without problems?

If you notice he hasnt performed WMUWSE since Irving either

Nooooo. I don't want to be sighing and swaying during the start of a Green Day concert. Especially after Blitzkreig Bop and the drunk bunny! 99 Revs and Nuclear Family work way better.

He did not handle singing Wake Me Up When September ends very well at the Irving Plaza according to the Rolling Stones article. Sure he may have sang the hell out of that song and rocked it but he ended up drinking to the point of blacking out after the show.

I don't mind that they're not playing the song, actually I'm pretty okay with it. I've grown a strong distaste for the studio version, but I always enjoy listening to the live versions, so I find it strange that I'm kind of glad that they've not playing it recently. Maybe it's just because I prefer their sets to be mostly high octane rock or fun, bouncy songs. As a performer, I love playing those songs more than anything, not so much the lighter wavers.

Although I do love that they're playing "Brutal Love". Holy shit that song is amazing.

Because it's super fun :happy:

It's fun, but it's been in their set for something like 10 years now..it would be okay if they still played it occasionally but they can afford to drop Shout and whatever covers they do afterwards..

I'm ok with 21 Guns being dropped. I love that song but it belongs to the 21stCB era. It fits that perfectly. To me, I like to think that the 99 Revolutions tour is going to be a total blast and fun! Probably if they kept such songs as 21 Guns on the setlist, the tour would lose that 'joyous' vibe if that makes any sense.

A full band version of Good Riddance would be fun.

Oh my God, now that sounds really great. I want the band to try that out just one time: A fast punk rock version with Good Riddance with electric guitars and fast drums. I can already imagine that in my head.

Not if they want to keep me happy they can't :P

I suppose. So they should drop Brutal Love entirely, haha. Or at least save it for the middle, and build back up with Boulevard or something.

Tbh, I just find it so odd. 21 Guns is by far their most popular song among the younger generation over here. Which is the same generation that is the potential new fanbase. If they drop it there's no way to drag these people in.

Myself, I'm ok with it, I'd rather hear something else anyway. It just seems like weird move to make.

/am probs repeating what have been said already

Well, releasing a trilogy was a weird move.

I don't think its a big deal. It was a hit off of 21CB, but it wasn't SUCH a big hit that it is a shocker to leave it in the past. I thought it was a great live song, but it definitely isn't one that I need to hear again live or that I'm really surprised they've left off the setlist.

If anything, I'd like it if they kept EJN on the setlist from the 21CB tour. Or 21st Century Breakdown the song. But 21 Guns? I'm fine without it.

I think it is about time they drop King For A Day and if they do want to continue to do the funny thing they do replace it with Fuck Time

Posted

I think some of the songs in the middle could be dropped in favor of more trilogy songs (Going to Pasacqua, King for a Day, St. Jimmy).

They could replace KYE with Kill the Dj.

21 Guns is fantastic - they should add it closer to the end of the setlist.

Just a hunch here, but Fuck Time started life as a FBHT song. The Rev is gone, and I doubt Billie Joe wants to bring back a song that came out of that side of himself.
