Dirnt estimates that it’ll take 90 minutes for Green Day to perform the two albums, leaving 35 to 45 minutes of the band’s set for “other stuff,” including material from their new album, Saviors.
 

quoted from this article:

https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/green-day-perform-dookie-american-152600665.html

could be looking at Green Day hitting the stage around 830pm and ending 11! 

Maybe that means the opening acts would get maybe 2 or 3 songs each?

Well assuming a 6 pm start time. Linda lindas 6-630. Rancid 645-730. Smashing pumpkins 745-830? Green day 845-11?

 

You're right, you would have to cut the other bands even shorter (which I'm fine with) to give enough time for Green day to perform 2 full albums + saviors singles + classic hits

They could probably sort of medley through some of the “lesser” numbers to save time and energy.

So many messages at the top of gdc.  Blue, Orange, Red...if you get banned three times you have to join the new

People are starting to get vinyls and cds.  I'm sure you guys are already stalking them into the ground to hear the songs a day or so early.   Cause you guys are nuts!  😄 

Cool setlist idea, but I'd rather Saviors and Idiot. Doogie?   Or Saviors and FOAM.  Screw that old people music.

Well that was an interesting album...

I actually was impressed. It was not at all what I was expecting and I was actually a bit worried based on the singles. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the singles but they were definitely the wrong choices for singles. OEB especially was an odd choice cause that's probably the weakest song. The only reason I can think of that would've made them release it is because it had already leaked so they just decided to throw it out there.

 

Nice to know the album is good. The only thing I am concerned about is repetetive lyrics that I saw in the booklet. Are they really that obvious or you don't notice that fact cause music is just too melodic?

It wasn't something that bothered me. Maybe they do it a lot? But I think Billie changes how he sings some of the repeated lines at times. And at the end of the day, if the song is good, I don't really care. The lyrics in the verses seemed to be pretty solid for the most part but I wasn't paying too much attention to the lyrics and the meaning behind all the songs. At the very least there wasn't any real cringe shit that other albums have had

Okay, I've listened to the album and I'm able to do a little review.

The singles we all know, my opinion is that in terms of strongest it's definitely Dilemma, but my favorite is One Eyed Bastard. One Eyed Bastard > Look Ma No Brains > Dilemma > The American Dream is Killing Me.

I wasn't expecting any resemblance to FOAMF here, and thankfully we don't have any except for the verse of Living in the 20s, which feels a little Fire Ready Aim alike and that's probably why it's one of my least favorites.

Bobby Sox is very interesting, my favorite part of that song is the bridge, which is awesome.

1981 is much better studio-wise than live. Really shines Mike's playing. It feels like a Nimrod song with trilogy production.

Goodnight Adeline is a pretty song.

Coma City is much more interesting than the snippets we had. There's a sort of coda in which Tré goes absolutely crazy. That song has weird chord progressions for Green Day.

Corvette Summer is the best song to go on a long ride. The ending part of the song is cool. The thing I started to notice once I got here is that the songs have something unexpected them. Like a different chord progression than to what we previously heard in the same song. The same for Corvette Summer.

Suzie Chapstick is the prettiest song here. It's acoustic and sweet. And it contains one of my favorite chord progressions ever. D, G, C, Am.

Strange Days are Here to Stay if like if Insomniac, Nimrod and Uno had a baby. It's probably the coolest song of this record.

Living in the 20s, the verses are pretty meh for me, because they are very garage rock like, sounding like a Foxboro Hot Tubs song, but after the second chorus.. damn. The song goes everywhere. It's bombastic. Literally.

Father to a Son is pretty sweet. I'm becoming a dad pretty soon (fingers crossed everything goes well) and that song is beautiful. It reminds me a bit of The Forgotten in the key changes mid song.

Saviors isn't an unremarkable piece as Billboard Italy decided to put it. Especially the outro part of the song. It's great.

Fancy Sauce, I feel like this song is my life it had a melody. The chorus part, I mean. It's great, and once again it sounds a bit like The Forgotten but heavier.

 

I'm on the fence as to what rating I would give it. It's definitely higher than Rev Rad and FOAMF. I'd argue it's probably going to be higher than 21st CB (great album, but not one of my favs). I'd say about a 7,5/8.

 

My favs: Suzie Chapstick, One Eyed Bastard, Strange Days are Here to Stay

My least favs: Corvette Summer, Bobby Sox, The American Dream is Killing Me

It’s really cool that everyone has different favorites from what I’m seeing, shows it’s not just three good songs and a bunch of clunkers but diverse and appeals to different parts of peoples tastes

Tre is focusing on the snare drum within this record.

One thing I'm glad to say about this album is that it feels like the songs and album are a perfect length. The songs don't feel unfinished like FOAMF's songs which often ended prematurely and the album doesn't seem too short like FOAMF. Sugar Youth is usually referred to as being the best song on FOAMF but that song ends way too fast. Even RevRad felt like it was a bit too short but even though this album is only a minute longer, it still feels like a more substantial release. Maybe it's just cause there's 15 songs compared to 12, or maybe it's just cause it's following FOAMF (their shortest album) while RevRad was following their longest project (the trilogy) and was their first album since Warning to just be a normal 40-ish minute album. But I'm happy with how much substance there seems to be on Saviors. Even the shortest songs on the album don't feel like they're cut off before they get a chance to leave an impression. I'm also kind of glad that there are no multi-part songs tbh. The songs all stand out as being their own thing. Being part of a longer song wouldn't feel necessary and just make it seem like another attempt at Jesus of Suburbia or something

I'm not asking for the leak... but did anyone have to fill put any surveys to get it?

Ever since Billie accidentally leaked this on Instagram, I've been hooked on that bassline!!!

When I googled, there were a couple places asking me to fill in surveys. I just ignored them. Most likely scams

Makes sense, I'll avoid leaks until I get my cd
