I think it was a smart choice to streamline it to just the guitarist. Agreed. They ended up using too much time on finding three people that actually could play.

AimieeSmith Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I always thought KYE was the wrong the choice as the opener for this tour , But after last night it really does work it's magic; getting the big outdoor crowd hyped and breaking the ice kinda thing. If they would have had more longer pro shot footage released , (I would have admittedi was wrong alot earlier ! haha) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacejunkie punk Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I thought the setlist for Global Citizens was very smartly chosen. All singalong hits, nothing from RevRad, tight setlist. It wasn’t about promoting their new album, it was about engaging with a festival crowd and it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 They should start their shows with the Panic Song-intro and then kick into Bang Bang or KYE or whatever (Thoughts you have on the train). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MillenniumFan Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Sure, that would be epic. But I think there's a reason why they haven't really played the panic song live... I would do: Panic Song Intro Band Bang Know Your Enemy I feel like KYE is a good second song, it worked well as second song on both previous tours and it should go back to being the second song in my opinion.

CherryBombs&Gasoline Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Yeah, it's not very likely that it will ever happen, but I like the idea... Starting with Bang Bang could work as well. It has this intro which is a little bit quieter than the rest of the song and then: Bang! Plus, it would be awesome to have a curtain that falls when the "intro" ends and the song kicks in. But I'm not their manager, so... KYE should stay. It's not their best song, but it helps to get the crowd go crazy. And it also allows them to interact with the fans, so I wouldn't get rid of it. So I would do the following: Bang Bang KYE RevRad Holiday That's a nice mixture of new and old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imXieli Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 did anybody ever find out what the hell that jam thing in between when i come around & basket case was at the rock and roll hall of fame? i was excited for that "song" (i guess?) to be on their then-upcoming album..

Good question. As best as I can tell, the interlude was a relatively standard progression with a few twists thrown in for effect (some of the timing/ drum parts helped make it interesting). I've seen them do similar things on earlier tours, although not that tightly scripted. It seems to me as if it were a pre-written & scripted interlude which probably came together during rehearsals for the HOF performance- it was absolutely really cool, and keep in mind I'm just speculating here, but I don't think it was part of a true song. More like an interesting bridge they had specifically put together for this performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love this intro! Bang Bang is such a good opener, starting with KYE always confused me a little. I guess the chant-like aspect appeals to them, but Bang Bang is just so exciting and everyone goes nuts when the curtain drops to show the radio.

AmyxLongview Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Is anyone else a little tired of Holiday and BOBD? I know they're huge hits and will never get taken off, but I'd love to see them replaced with Somewhere Now and Say Goodbye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

herewegoagain Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 Not too fussed either way about Holiday (although it's one of my faves from AI) but if they ever cut BOBD I'd be extremely disappointed. The message of weirdos coming together and the singing along, it's the essence of GD live (to me). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love Say Goodbye but I think Somewhere Now would be a bloody hard some for BJ to sing in an arena. Especially when he struggled throughout the tour with his vocals.

Hermione Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 Yeah Holiday's been on my hitlist for years. East Jesus Nowhere would've been a good replacement and now Say Goodbye would be too. It's good but there's plenty of other AI songs played and newer songs are queuing up as suitable replacements so should be dispensable imo. But it won't be because of its current relevance and their AI obsession. I like BOBD live a lot. But I'd give up pretty much any song to see Somewhere Now.

Paola17 Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 BOBD allows for people to hold their phone lights up - and if that isn't in the setlist, there will be none of that. It's always a beautiful moment, seeing the audience like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AimieeSmith Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 It took them 19 years to play Dookie in full. So we might have to wait until the 2030's for Rev Red to be played in full Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Billiejoezee- Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I'd love an acoustic version of troubled times in the setlist one day..don't even know how the fuck it would sound but just imagining it, I want it /a girl can dream Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
