21 guns Posted March 30, 2013 Posted March 30, 2013 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.

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)
scottrowan200 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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
bass-line Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
Doris The Spider Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
Justin Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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

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.
Jack [DF] Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
WhiteTim Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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

Brutal Love works better as an intro than a finale. 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.

I mean, he played WMUWSE on the 30th anniversary of his father's death... I think he can handle it. 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.
Cob Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
K!ngForADay Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Because it's super fun 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..
A melodramatic fool. Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
InvaderPhantom Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
Hermione Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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..Not if they want to keep me happy they can't

Especially after Blitzkreig Bop and the drunk bunny! 99 Revs and Nuclear Family work way better. 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.

Hedwig Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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
watchmefade92 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 It just seems like weird move to make. Well, releasing a trilogy was a weird move.
stories and songs Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 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.
DirtyRottenForgotten Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 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
michael1989 Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 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.
Guest Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 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 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.
