If they want to progress as a band, which I actually think they do, they need to move on from AI. Now is not the time to devote an entire year to the album that still makes up a huge chunk of their setlists. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m sure they’ll do it because they’re clearly proud of this one!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Dude Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 Dookie bass lines. American Idiot guitar shredding. Insomniac drums. FOAM lyrics, vocals and of course clapping, clapping, clapping. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flashback Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I would be very happy about some Trilogy, 21CB and RevRad songs too, but if they want to fill stadiums, they need American Idiot songs. We have to be that realistic. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian's Inferno! Posted July 22, 2022 Share Posted July 22, 2022 I don't see them doing a whole AI anniversary tour where they play the full album in its entirety for the whole tour. But I'm completely fine with them doing a few shows where they play the full album and have some space for some other songs. Would I prefer to see them play songs from their less appreciated albums that have only been played a handful of times, if at all and haven't been played for over a decade? Yeah, I would. But regardless of whether or not we want it, I think most people going to a Green Day show would be more than happy to experience that I think you all need to realize that there are so many different people coming to shows who want to hear so many Green Day songs live, but to keep the most people happy, playing the hits is what's going to satisfy most of the audience and at least if they play American Idiot in full, there will be some tracks played that maybe not everyone in the audience would have heard or that haven't been played in a long time like Whatsername, She's A Rebel, Homecoming etc. Like is that really any worse than them playing a largely unchanged setlist for the last decade (apart from adding a few new songs every album cycle and then dropping them for the next tour) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, American Idiot in full would only add an extra 25-30 minutes or so to the set, which let's face it, isn't a lot of extra time needed to potentially do it. The time they normally spend at the end of JOS not playing the song is probably almost enough time to swap out for including She's A Rebel. Of course I'd love to see some deep, deep cuts from the discography but people need to realise that American Idiot is probably the best and most iconic album the band has ever done (It's not my favourite anymore, but best doesn't have to equal favourite). Not doing an anniversary celebration in some way would be a huge missed opportunity for the band, and choosing to do one doesn't have to mean that they can't also support their new album, nor does it mean that it has to last a long time. They could bring back the album art (without the FOAM shit all over it) and play some songs that not only I, but a massive portion of their fanbase would want to hear, like seriously guys, when was the last time they played Whatsername live? Someone, anyone tell me you don't want to hear that song live. 10 hours ago, GDFan2019 said: Because now they’ll have to edit the setlist to make room for 1972 songs. And I’m sure they’ll do it because they’re clearly proud of this one!!! Assuming this new album will have the usual 2 or 3 singles, they'd probably only need to make room for about 5 songs, lose the covers and KFAD (I still can't believe they brought that back) and you've got yourself more than enough time to do the new songs, unless BJ suddenly decides he likes long ones again now and has a couple on the new record, but we'll cross that bridge when/if we ever get to it. Doing a shared American Idiot/1972 tour would not only satisfy a lot of old fans (20 years has gone so fast...) but be great advertisement for the new album. It's a win/win situation, not only for the band, but the fans too. Even if they don't do the anniversary/new album as a whole tour thing, it's still a win/win, and if it ends up being big enough, who'd say no to potentially having a new concert film? That would be especially great if they squeezed in a couple of trilogy songs and Bang Bang. Always Bang Bang. But lets not get ahead of ourselves, the point is, nothing bad would come from doing it, only good, and that's not even taking into consideration the jump start in hype that the next (next) album could have because of the potential success of hypothetical tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
