I wonder why thé stopped playing  21 Guns live. I find it overplayed, in fact I thought it was a good idea to take a break from it but this weekend I went to a friend's birthday party and someone was just blasting it when I entered the house and that moment made me realize how powerful it is. It must be super awesome live. 

I arranged that for my piano class a few months ago and it was one of their favorites out of all the songs that we did all year!  They still ask for it and they love to play it, some of them started singing it too! Students always react positively when quality music is presented to them, no matter how "old" it is to them. It really is an outstanding, powerful song.

21 Guns was overplayed, but now I find Know Your Enemy has become overplayed.  I like both songs but I'd like to see them perform 21 Guns again. Perhaps when they tour again they could just replace Know Your Enemy with 21 Guns.

I agree. if any song should be replaced at this point, it's kye

I agree too, KYE to me is one of the weakest songs on 21stCB. 21 Guns is just timeless.

the new song "Devil's Kind" sounds great even from a live video. I want it to be on new album.

Me too I love it.

it reminds me of "Castaway" a little bit.

I can't decide which music video I like the most, and I can't get enough of watching them (except for the one for Oh Love which I don't like)

Redundant- I love all of the craziness behind them, how many times does that kid climb out of the window though?

Walking contradiction- I love how everything goes wrong in this video 

Minority- I really like the computer generated band member balloons and how the band travel down the road on that flotilla 

Holiday- I love how they all dress up as different characters 

Boulevard of broken dreams- I love this video, but it makes me laugh when Billies singing 'I walk alone' when Tre and Mike are next to him!

American idiot- Who doesn't like to watch them being drenched in slime?

I think it is everyone's least favourite of anything GD has done.  The most embarrassing anyways.

& the greatest music vid is WICA.

Stray heart is my favourite trilogy video too (not hard) and actually my favourite trilogy song too, probably.

I prefer the original version of Stray Heart that was on Stop Drop And Roll

Ohh I love that song!  I've never thought of it as a version of Stray Heart before, they're rhythmically so similar though.  To my ear, the notes are completely different but the rhythm is almost, if not completely, identical.  I like both haha, but I don't really think of them as the same song.  I'd love another bouncy bass line song on the new album actually, they're some of the band's best.

Im seriously considering basing how many times I see GD on the next tour on whether they move on from KFAD in the setlist?

That is too bad you won't be seeing them on the next tour.  I will take some pictures for you.

I don't really mind the song, what was annoying was it lasted so long they could have played 3 or 4 others instead

It's probably his voice break. It'll be on the next tour.

How is it a voice break if he sings for 10 min straight?

They have always used it as the fun, audience participation song.  There are a ton of other songs they can use in its place.  It is tired, old and overplayed.

Oh I didn't realize he sang through it, I've never seen GD live. In that case, they should pick something else, you're right.

[BilIie Joe Armstrong]

I with he did something less embarrassing for his break.
