King for a day is awesome live they should never stop playing it and the same goes for minority and jesus of suburbia. Stay the night is pretty epic live.

The guitar sounded so weak to me and not epic at all. Also Kill the DJ while I enjoy the studio version live isn't that good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cool until the 1,2,3,Go! then it turned into every generic green day song But damn billie joe looked good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeNimrod97 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Not seen them live myself but from watching performances like BIAB and others people have captured on YouTube, I have to agree with the KFAD argument. I don't get why they don't just play Scattered, The Grouch and others which have been seldom played since 1998 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was there! I don't even like Stay the Night but it's true that live the energy and excitement is so crazy that you don't even care about the song, it's awesome either way.

Billie Hoe Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If I had to choose one, I'd say Shout. King for a Day is awesome, but after that he just lays down for a long time i think it may be necessary for him to take a break (and that's a whole lot better than disappearing off the stage altogether like some artists do) but when I watched the moment on YouTube, it was really boring and I wanted to skip it. Though, when I was in the crowd, it was a welcome break because I was absolutely hysterical and needed to just fucking cool it down for a minute I can imagine it would be different if I saw them another time. And while watching Bullet in a Bible with my family (we had guests over and my mom wanted to show everyone who I was going to see) I really really really wanted to skip Hitchin' a Ride Not because it's bad. It's just... you don't watch Bullet in a Bible surrounded by your family. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drummerman Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 The worst live is the only song that doesn't involve the whole of Green Day - Good Riddance. Great song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I like seeing Know Your Enemy live because it means you can shout "RAW HAM" in public 3 hours ago, DookieLukie said: I'd argue the opposite. Some of the songs Green Day plays straight through are played so tight and so emotionally, having a gimmick takes away from that. I think they play most songs tight and emotionally whether there's extra stuff or not. Still great either way and the best performance of the night could still happen to be a song they played straight through, but I generally prefer when there's extra stuff which can make it more entertaining or intimate (if it involves crowd interaction or something that the band and crowd are in on together) and allow them to show their sense of showmanship and/or humour. Doesn't always have to be a crazy over the top gimmick, I just enjoy little extra things that add to the performance on top of just seeing the song being played. 41 minutes ago, SomeNimrod97 said: Not seen them live myself but from watching performances like BIAB and others people have captured on YouTube, I have to agree with the KFAD argument. I don't get why they don't just play Scattered, The Grouch and others which have been seldom played since 1998 instead. Because it's way more fun to spend 10 minutes dressing up, leading the crowd in a happy singalong about cross dressing, dancing around, lying on the floor singing some favourite covers, giving each band member a chance to sing and generally being silly than to spend it just playing three random songs straight through probably Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh I didn't even know that they played Kill the DJ live. I don't even remember if they played it at the concert I was at but I don't think they did (thankfully).

Eric Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Kill the DJ looked like a great song live smh. I agree with Drummerman, Good Riddance. But the song is still good just not what I want to hear at a future Green Day show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
