Australian1diot Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Over Green Day's career, we have heard several songs that get us fired up like Charlie Sheen on speed. This is the moment where the distorted guitar turns right up, and we indulge ourselves into the world of Green Day. There were questions of the tour's 'intro song,' which we now know is 99 Revolutions. What's your favourite? Mine is certainly Welcome To Paradise, for its fast paced intro, then into the beloved verses and chorus etc. What do you want to see this tour? Here's Welcome To Paradise from Woodstock, a great opener! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IcEMdmASxc
Australian1diot Posted March 31, 2013 Author Posted March 31, 2013 Not really related to the tour though... more of a, ''What is your favourite opener?''
Todd Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 21st Century Breakdown, American Idiot, Loss of Control, Nice Guys Finish Last. Anything but 99 Revolutions
Guest Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 After some discussion, we've decided to reopen this thread and see how it does. If participants are just naming a song or two and it turns into a pure list thread, it'll be closed again. If you explain why you picked the opener(s) you did, maybe even suggest an awesome opening song that they never used, the thread will stay open and probably kick ass.
maurokanvaz Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I think they should do Scattered. It sounds like a badass opener to me.
Duhhan1023 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 21st Century Breakdown , Nuclear Family or Welcome to Paradise
iScottie Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 As I've posted numerous times, I think they should open with See You Tonight on the intercom, Green Day comes out as its ending, everybody cheers, and they immediately break into Nuclear Family. It's one of the best crowd openers by far.
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 For ones they've done in the past, I'm sick of hearing Welcome to Paradise. Pleeeaaase, no more. Since 99 Revolutions is the only one I can claim to have seen live, I'll just say it was amazing. It's the perfect speed for banging your head or jumping around in the pit. I have to say, it was one of the best parts of the night on Thursday. For future openers, I would be blown away if the played Panic Song as they came on stage. I say this because this means that the crowd has about 2 whole minutes to get pumped before Billie starts singing. And we all know that when Billie isn't allowed to sing for even a moment, he'll get into some funny business. While Mike and Tre are playing to kick off the song, I can just imagine all the faces he'll make at the crowd and all the pranks he can pull. After Panic Song, I would love to see Dirty Rotten Bastards, with all the yeah-yeah-yeahs and ra-de-da-de-di's to get some crowd interaction.
Cath Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 To me American Idiot was a badass opener. One of their most popular song so all the crowd no matter if they are fans or not knows the lyrics. Plus so much energy from that song.
ThranaM Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Dirty Rotten Bastards would be the perfect opener. Would start of a concert with a bang. Also, See You Yonight as a opener, then GD walks out on the stage playing Nuclear Family would be awesome.
Dandy-Namida Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I think Lazy Bones could be a possibility? I guess I only think that because it eases in the same way as 99 Revelutions. Eh, now that I'm listening to it I take it back. Too mellow for an opening... Kill the DJ would be fab. Very energetic opening, and a great dance track. Let's have it!
ThranaM Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Maybe Rusty James as well, I dunno really. I think Lazy Bones could be a possibility?

iScottie Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I personally think that Wild One could make another good concert opener or an encore opener. Crowd cheers, Billies standing on his little platform, he points to Jason and Tre, and BAM. It begins.
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Maybe Rusty James as well, I dunno really. Maybe Let Yourself Go would be a possibility? Maybe they shouldn't start with a song that fast but would be cool to see Or just play the first five on Uno consecutively. That would be cool to see.
Andrew Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 All by Myself was good at Shephard's Bush! I think Going to Pasalacqua would be a cool opener though. I like the idea of the show starting with "Here we go again".
bioshockerxx Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I was thinking maybe Wow! That's loud or even stay the night? or stray heart because the bass could loop until they come on. But I do agree with the see you tonight then nuclear family.
ThranaM Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Or just play the first five on Uno consecutively. That would be cool to see. I would love to hear See The Light as an opener as well
HolyHandGrenade Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 I would love to hear See The Light as an opener as well And then answer the call for a savior to come by playing Jesus of Suburbia or St. Jimmy next.
Insomniac45 Posted March 31, 2013 Posted March 31, 2013 Too bad it will never happen, but Panic Song would be a great fucking opener.
