Remember to remove videos and images from quotes people It's open because threads for talking about all Green Day's albums are allowed on GDC not just the new one. If you don't like it don't post in it. Some of Seagull's posts might be stupid shit but so is making fun of someone for liking a Green Day album and trying to prevent them from talking about it while on a Green Day forum. "I wouldn't say I'm straight 'cause I'm bent out of shape" is the most badass line of the trilogy and one of my favourite GD lyrics, that whole part of the song including the solo before it is so cool! I know people like to dwell on one deliberately silly joke line but that's not all there is to the song . I love Troublemaker and Uno! Did u know Drama Queen was originally on 21st CB? It was on early tracklistings and versions of the album played for journalists and they had to change it right at the last minute when they decided to replace it with Murder City. Could it be you like a 21st CB song?

Saaame. The more I listen to the album, the more I want to hear most of the songs live.

Well I just hope the break before your tour commences gd band practice is about revrad in the setlist - it's a great album - they need to do it justice.

I want the whole of revrad. I fell in love with BOTW yesterday.

I want Forever Now.

I want Outlaws.

They are throwing in some special treats for sure. But they really should be playing the old songs that have never had live debuts. I wonder if they don't like some of their older songs, or if they just don't work live, don't fit into a set list, etc. No One Knows is one that NEEDS some attention. It could be a great addition to the acoustic encore. Their current tour looks entertain enough. They are pulling songs from ALMOST all their albums. Needs a bit more 1039, Insomniac and the "set of three albums that shan't be named" but other than that.............great 2016 tour!

I love how it's a screen cap from VH1 behind the music. Billie doesn't have the original picture to copy and put on there?

1. I was just explaining why I was criticizing Troublemaker to Hermione 2. It's amazing that that's coming from you. If anybody even mentions American Idiot, 21CB or RevRad, you have to make your comment about how shit they are when A) Everyone already knows your opinion and B) Nobody gives a fuck about it

I mean, he's just describing this silly situation of this "troublemaker" character seeing a girl at the traffic lights who has a BMW, attractive boobs, a crazy tattoo and lives at the W (a hotel chain) and flirting with her, with some silly word play thrown in. Not exactly meaningful, but it isn't trying to be, it's meant to be silly and is silly so I don't really know why everyone takes such issue with it. Overall I think it's a fun and catchy song and sounds cool musically.

I agree. What I'll say now is totally random and I hope it makes at least some sense: I think Troubled Times would sound great remixed, as a song The Young Gods would do or something like that.

Troubled times was an album favourite first listen.

Troubled Times would be a good addition too, thats another thing some hardcore George Harrison fans won't be happy lol

Best overall contributor😍

New album, new songs, world tour, revamp setlist - let us pray.

Personally I'm glad 21 Guns is no longer played that means I won't have to hear it in March

In a lot of ways, RevRad is what they meant to do with the trilogy. Something simpler, without an overarching concept–and something that they really, really had fun making. The trilogy kept a lot of songs fun and lighthearted, but was still wildly ambitious, and still felt like they were very much so trying to one-up themselves. During that time they seemed wound so tight. RevRad is the first album since AI that isn't trying to prove itself. After AI they had this immense pressure to be equally big every time–not commercially, but in scope. Personally, I find the trilogy only laid back on the surface. Behind the upbeat songs and youthful lyrics are an obsessive amount of work. Is my opinion colored by the events surrounding it? Certainly, but I think that's ok. The time in their lives shaped who they are now, and to be perfectly honest it effected fans too. I still love so so so many songs from those albums, and my emotions surrounding the era don't change that.

I think it's time.

Why hasn't Green Day played 21 Guns since 2010? Also, the setlists from the recent club tour are not the best in my opinion. I can understand that maybe they felt less slower songs fit a club setting, but they choose to play "Are We the Waiting" over 21 Guns and Wake Me Up When Sept Ends? Also, outside of Know Your Enemy, they didnt plat a thing of 21 CB...and most people believe that Know Your Enemy was not the best song on that album. I loved when they opened shows with 21 CB and I think the best setlist was on the last leg of the 21 CB Tour. They played old songs, new songs, and most shows lasted 3 hours. They've shortened the shows to 2hrs plus...but basically ignored anything they have written between American Idiot and Rev Rad. Hoping the area shows bring back a better mix without taking away all the old stuff. Love hearing 21 Guns Live and wouldnt mind them throwing in a few tracks (Nuclear Family, Stray Heart, Stay the Night) from the trilogy. I have been a fan since 1994 and will continue to go and enjoy the shows either way. Just hoping their set list selection didnt peak in 2010 and they are now going back to only older songs and playing half of American Idiot. Curious other opinions on this...especially from fans that are both "old school" & "new school" Green Day fans.

Seriously???? You think JOS is Green Day's worst song????? I don't even know what to say.....I'm speechless

That whole story is my favorite story like "someone at the studio stoled the masters" so they scrap it start a new one while using the same studio (as I've seen it was reported they were recording at Ocean Way during the C&V sessions I don't know if that is for sure true) like why use the same place you got masters stolen lol
