I guess you are going to hang out at the chimp sanctuary then.

I'm sure I will get another opportunity ????

I think it is because it is the song that sticks out the most. Yes, they do other songs the same at every show, but this one is very theatrical and one of the most memorable. I think they can keep similar antics, just change the song up that way it will seem fresher.

Oh they don't do the same thing! They change up the costumes, the stuff they say, the covers they do, the flashing/humping etc Billie does, the band members that sing the "waaaaaiiit a minute" bit. The laying on the stage has always been part of it, and he doesn't do nothing , he sings covers, makes jokes, does call and response with the crowd and does silly things like crawling over and whispering in Mike's ear. The American Idiot tour version of it was quite basic but they've added loads of stuff and improvised a lot more since then. I think they actually vary the performance of KFAD/Shout more than they do pretty much any other song (with the vast majority they either continue the same little traditions year after year or just play them straight through, don't they?), I've heard and seen more unique amusing things during it than any other. Maybe not everyone is still entertained by it having seen it multiple times but I think the band themselves clearly are, and it's always loads of fun when you're there in the crowd watching it . King For A Day forever!
