So, first, Jake, I've been a fan longer than you've been alive I bet And second no not sarcasm. Sometimes I really can't figure out some of the really old sings. I was kidding...

Shtrudel Posted July 27, 2016 Posted July 27, 2016 - Any Nimrod or Warning song played on Eb. - J.A.R. - until Jason fucking plays the solo properly.

If I ever get to see them, I wouldn't want to hear songs that are hit-or-miss like that (other examples are like Trilogy songs and singles that they've played for the last 2 decades). Yeah, BOBD was my go to song when I was 8. I was in love with it and I think i burned myself out with it then. Now I barely listen to it. To hear it live would not be all that fun. It would be like going through the motions singing it.
Hermione Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 I prefer BOBD live to 21 Guns live (there's really never any need to play them both, one or the other is fine). They spoil 21 Guns by repeating the chorus too many times at the end instead of singing the "when it's time to live and let die..." part. And I found it a bit lame when people would do the hand actions from the AI musical during it . Plus it just isn't as good a song. Whereas BOBD is a better song to start off with, has a nice singalong bit after which Billie sometimes does the we are not worthy bowing down thing to the crowd and/or does a headstand. And you can listen out for when he always sings the last "my shallow heart's the only thing that's beating" with the "beating" going lower and (if you're me) be amused that he obviously wishes he'd recorded it that way and look at your sister and laugh about it . And then enjoy watching Jason's hands playing the awesome fast end bit. A fine live performance.

Idk why, but I've never been a fan of that song, live or on the record. I like the lyrics, but the musical part really just doesn't do anything for me. I've always thought that, in terms of Dookie, Having A Blast is a much better track. And, of course, Welcome to Paradise as well. This is not unpopular opinions thread.
GuitarPunk94 Posted July 28, 2016 Posted July 28, 2016 german rock am ring festival 2013, GD was headliner: they played (surprisingly) SWTRLF (awesome fun song to play to!) .. but they had like a 5 min "yeah now we gonna build some tension in the bridge for the following chorus outro"-moment, but this "break" was just way too long and kinda boring for this short song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DL8ilLP4orQ

I don't know if they do this anymore, but some live versions of 21 Guns has a beautiful little piano bit right before "when it's time to live and let die" which would make playing it worthwhile. But cutting the song up and singing the same chorus over and over gets a bit boring. (Also, people actually DO that?! ) OH! I guess that's going to be the only thing I wouldn't want to see live - the same 6 words repeated over and over for 2 minutes (Let Yourself Go is the exception).

And yeah I remember it on the 21st CB tour when the musical was big. Maybe the band lead the crowd to do it (like, one finger up for "one", two and then one for "21" and a gun sign for "guns") but I didn't like it
greendepent Posted July 31, 2016 Posted July 31, 2016 This thread is late around by 5 years to me, hahaha. List of things that I don't like from Green Day live sets - Fixed part of Basket Case/She/KFAD. This abomination has been around since 2000. Covers after KFAD start around 2002. Until 21st CB tour was ok, but in trilogy it is just too much - Make the songs too much longer. I mean, 2000 LYA worked sometimes around 1998, but since 2005 they started to abort it and pass to the other song. Same for Hitchin', but its fits better to do that. - Fixed part of Minority/AI/JOS. Half of hour with just 3 songs. Plain boring. If there is a reason why sets hit 3 hours on 2010, this was the main fault. Even worse, in the begining, there was American Eulogy to make it even longer! Then that song swapped places with Minority sometimes, witch is cool, but still too long For the title for worst live song, for me belongs to Murder City. Don't ask why, just doesn't sound right. Seems lacking something. Cheers!

Trust me, before I went to their concert in Norway in 2013, I said "Don't you fucking dare to replace Nice Guys Finish Last with Murder City". They did to my frustration, but that song was fucking AWESOME live. I know what you mean that it doesn't sound right, at least from videos on YouTube etc, but hearing it in person is sooo much better

Lizzie Atwell Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 I would swap out a few things, basketcase, only as I've heard it live 50 times now and it really does get old. KFAD, if they just played the song and that was it I wouldn't mind, but the KFAD/Shout/covers takes up waaaaay too much time in the set. Static age, possibly not a popular opinion but personally I find that live it doesn't have the same impact as others . Murder city, same reason as static age.
Clayish Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 A good chunk of the setlist has been stale for years.

I never liked Brain Stew very much and to me it's a boring song to hear live. That and Minority. I don't like it that they stretch Minority with all these random bits in between. It's great when they do that with King for a Day but to me it don't seem to work that well with Minority. And not a big fan of the song either. HOLY FUCKING SHIT! I stopped reading after this post. First of all, not that your opinion doesn't matter because of course it does, its yours. But Brain Stew is a fucking AWESOME song and is a always a crowd treat. Whether they go into Jaded or not, which I agree is fantastic when they do, and they often do, is just that much sweeter. You sort of have to have once had an amphetamine problem to really appreciate Brain Stew so on that note, I will hope you can't appreciate Brain Stew. The song is about those hours where you are done with the drug, but it aint don't with you. Staring at the walls, the clock laughing at you, crooked spine, and cross-tops are stand for amphetamines. Say no to drugs. And WARNING was made to be live and I've seen so many fantastic live renditions of this sone most notably and on AAF is the Irvine version of Warning which I was at and they rocked the shit out of that and they always have the green confetti shooting out on that one. Two lovely live songs. Must STRONGLY and EMPHATICALLY disagree with you on both. To me there is no bad live Green Day songs. There are a couple spots where it's beer time but that's about it. EDIT: Actually for some reason, when you said "Warning" I was thinking of "Minority". I still stand by it though.
dallasthemenace Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 out of the ones ive seen in person...id say 'macy's day parade' and 'WMUWSE' are the weakest ones ive seen them play...
UNICORN VOMIT Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I haven't personally seen it live but I love the song - X-kid just didn't work.
thisguy3496 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 I read once somewhere that once you learn how to play a song perfectly it will bore the shit out of you. Well Brain Stew was the first song I ever learned how to play and every time I hear it live it bores me the shit out of me

Second, I admire your enthusiasm in Green Day's music, especially in songs that don't do very much for me. But having that said, I didn't mean that I have a huge dislike for the songs, though it does come across like that reading back my post. It's just that those songs are less appealing to me, personally. If I had to pick a worst song they play live it would come down to those 2 because they are the ones I probably will care the least about. And I'm honestly sorry I care less about songs that you (and many more) love dearly because of obvious reasons.
PunxRockNYC19 Posted August 4, 2016 Posted August 4, 2016 how about choosing a different song other than Knowledge to let start a band on stage. id love if the fans can play Longview, Going To Pasalacqua or Letterbomb

madafaka Posted August 5, 2016 Posted August 5, 2016 I figure a bad live song is a song that is significantly worse live than on the recording. To that I don't have many contenders, but I do think there are some underwhelming live songs going on in their standard setlist: American Idiot, Brain Stew and WMUWSE. Maybe I've just heard them too many times, but they don't really do it for me!
