My biggest takeaways are that they seem to be planning on switching up the setlists from night to night for the upcoming tour and that I really want to hear Dilemma 

I’m not sure that I agree that they’re planning on switching it up night to night. I think that they’d like to, put production logistics and playing to an audience of mostly casual fans makes it very difficult to do so.

I’m also excited to hear Dilemma. I think BJ has a knack for identifying the strongest songs on their records - either through interviews or through which songs from any given record they choose to play live.

I think the best way for them to shake up the setlist is to just plan a setlist in advance that includes more deep cuts instead of the usual lineup. Would also be cool if they built in a one- or two-song part of the show that didn’t rely so much on tech and they could play different songs during that period. I get that there are technical reasons why you can’t divert too much — to Mike’s point, you could blow someone up lol — but there are ways to incorporate something fresh every night.

The one part where Mike talks about being able to deviate from the set, doing whatever they want and having a lot of fun songs to play makes me think that they will have a part in the setlist where they will have options of what songs they chose to play off of Dookie / American Idiot

If this is how they choose to structure their setlist for the Saviors tour - with a section or sections for audibles, where they can play some deeper cuts from Dookie and Idiot in addition to the obligatory hits that are always played - then I can see this interpretation being correct, and I hope that it is. My issue is that, over the last 6 years or so, they’ve always had the ability to deviate from their standard set, yet chose not to - only the rare change-up on the RevRad tour, no deviation whatsoever on the Hella Mega tour, and now only recently we’re starting to see a little bit of variety at the big shows with Milwaukee, Quebec, and Louisville this year. Basically, I hope that you’re right, but I’ll believe it when I see it. There’s only so much they can do with a 90 minute set 🤷🏻‍♂️

Sorry billie, but even if there wasn't a pandemic foam would've still failed,  it's not a good album it's like they tried to mix indi pop with 60s garage rock and the results were terrible

Great interview, love to hear them happy, excited and fired up.  Hearing about the “brilliant album” and “fantastic tracks” is very exciting.  Can’t wait to hear it all.  
 

I predict in 10 years or so, you Foam haters will be sounding like so many people about Warning or Nimrod.

I've got a wild feeling about Dilemma and I haven't read anything about it yet.
