It's OK to have it 4 times, but only Billie must sing it. Billie gets to sing all the time though. We're fortunate that our favorite band has not one, not two, not three but FOUR singers! That's it, the next set list I make Billie Joe is taking the night off to play bass on some underground release and Jason is fronting Green Day. We are living in a world where Axl Rose is in AC/DC, Matt Skiba is in Blink and Billie Joe Armstrong is in the Replacements so this should be no surprise. Jason White is now the face of Green Day for this show: 1. 21st Century Breakdown 2. Reach For The Bottle 3. American Idiot 4. Last of the American Girls 5. Life During Wartime 6. Basketcase 7. Holiday 8. Stop, Drop and Roll 9. Christian’s Inferno 10. F(woo) Time 11. Walking Contradiction 12. East Jesus Nowhere 13. Redundant 14. Oh Love 15. Hitchin a Ride 16. Know Your Enemy 17. Minority (I tried to pick songs that I though would suit Jason's voice, and left out songs that were really personal for Billie as well.)

HighHorse Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Sorry but I have a question for Mr. thatdude03 and that is: Are you being serious with these setlists? Back in my days as an anon when this thread started, I remember seeing your posts in this thread (which were mostly you throughout), and every setlist literally appears to be "I put my iTunes on shuffle and wrote it down and thought 'yeah Green Day should play these in this order because this makes sense in terms of song pacing and crowd energy levels'." Like I'd love to give benefit of the doubt and say that you're just poking fun and the thread is for people to go "Yeah I'd love to see Green Day do -insert x number of songs-", but it's when you number it and put thought into it like themes for setlists and such that makes me go "m88 r u fukkn seerius" because some of these are god-awful picks, not in relation to the songs themselves, I love Green Day just as much as the next guy on this forum, but in how the songs are placed in the idea of a live show. I get it, these are "dream setlists", but come the fuck on, if you're going to write so many of these sets down and commit them to a place that other people will read them, put some fucking effort into them other than clicking shuffle. I'll just pull a recent example cuz I don't want to go digging at this hour of the night. I already have nothing better to do, but my time will be better spent just picking a recent one than reading through every trash list that's been made. On 5/9/2016 at 7:03 PM, thatdude03 said: 1.

Hitchin a Ride Encore: 23. My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion cover) 24. Brutal Love 25. Good Riddance So obviously we're joking about the Celine Dion track, so I'll not bother with that. Without the pesky numbers we got: American Idiot/X-Kid/Jesus of Suburbia/The Forgotten/Baby Eyes/Fuck Time/Lazy Bones/Road to Acceptance/Kill the DJ/Dominated Love Slave/DUI/21st Century Breakdown/Panic Song/Jackass/Castaway/Jaded/Waiting/Homecoming/Wake Me Up When September Ends/Holiday/Nice Guys Finish Last/Hitchin' A Ride, encore of Brutal Love/Good Riddance. American Idiot to open, k sure. X-Kid to follow up? Go from super fast and political to medium-paced and introspective about the choices you've made in your life and realizing you're a grown-up? THEN Jesus of Suburbia, the big, epic symphony of "fuck you I'm gonna do what I want cuz I'm young and I'm awesome how I am" and "pretending you're a kid (late teens to mid twenties) again"? What the fuck? Now check, it'd make sense to do Jesus of Suburbia to X-Kid, but with a few songs in between, and that's talking from track placement on an album. In a live show? You're going fast and hardcore, to medium, to a symphony of all the paces and feelings. The reason why they use Jesus of Suburbia as a final song is because there's so many emotions wrapped up in the song that it doesn't make sense to put the song anywhere but the end of a setlist. It's practically a summary of all of Green Day's work stuffed into one huge track. Sure they used to play it right after American Idiot, but that's because of how it was placed on the album, not only that, but American Idiot is a precursor to Jesus of Suburbia, it's the prologue of the story for fuck's sake. Anyway. ALL THOSE FOLLOWED UP BY THE FORGOTTEN. Let's assume we played this after Jesus of Suburbia, after they've gone backstage and are waiting to pop back out for one last song in the last moments of a Green Day concert, then it would be acceptable. NOT SONG FUCKING FOUR. Baby Eyes/Fuck Time/Lazy Bones. None of these songs mix. Not in theme, not in pace, nothing. Baby Eyes is a hard, rock and roll jam that's high energy and fun, which, placed after your The Forgotten, sure, it picks up the energy again, but it's major whiplash given the setlist so far, the crowd would probably be happy they're playing a nice, fast tune now, but I mean, why would they do The Forgotten before this one? Fuck Time is a late 60s/early 70s jam that's meant to pump up the crowd at the middle of a set to keep everyone energized but also give everyone a break. Lazy Bones is new wave, and introspective, recalling Billie's struggles and feelings of apathy and depression while dealing with his addictions, it works for bringing everyone back after a big song, like possibly something like Stay The Night or Stray Heart, or to call to the album, Stop When The Red Lights Flash. It doesn't work after Fuck Time, it's not fast or big enough to do that shit. Road to Acceptance followed by Kill the DJ. A truly teenage punk song about racism, followed by a disco 70s/80s styled jam. You fucking having yourself a giggle mate? Not only do these songs not mesh at all, but in terms of a live show, everyone would have to switch instruments for one song, just to switch instruments again for the next two songs. There's no fucking sense here. Dominated Love Slave and DUI, sure, I'd love to see those two like that, that's totally fine. 21st Century Breakdown/Panic Song. Big, epic, introductory, setting up a story, followed by a song that embodies anxiety. The problem here is that 21st Century Breakdown doesn't work anywhere else other than at the start of a concert, because it's written as a stadium song, and also written only to introduce a story, it's big and epic, yeah, but Panic Song doesn't work as a follow up because it's from such a different point in the band's career and they just straight up don't mix. It's also partially because 21stCB is really a story-based song and it's hard for people to relate to and understand without context, seeing as this is the ONLY 21stCB track in the setlist, it's got no context, and even less when followed up by Panic Song. Jackass/Castaway/Jaded. Two rather odd choices to represent Warning, but I mean, hey, the songs are fun, though I'd put Castaway first personally. But either of those to be followed up by Jaded? You really must love that shuffle button, dudeman, Jaded is part of Brain Stew. That'd be like if they started playing Holiday and instead of doing the bridge with the whole "sieg heil" and whatever, they just started playing Longview. The questions you ask yourself in such a situation are "what the fuck?", "why?", "how many drugs were involved in making this setlist?", "Billie do you need to go back to rehab?", and "should I leave this concert or just kill myself now?" Waiting/Homecoming/Wake Me Up/Holiday. None of these work. You had a good thing going with Homecoming and Wake Me Up, you could do those in the opposite order you have them and it'd be fine. It doesn't work the other way because Wake Me Up is the motivation for Homecoming, it's what brings about the change in Jesus (or Johnny), not only that but Homecoming is a song that resolves itself, so to then state the motivation for Homecoming after Homecoming is kinda fucking dumb. Waiting to go into Homecoming, I suppose you could say "I've been waiting a long time for this moment to come," to Homecoming in terms of themes, but the problem is that Waiting is one single thought in a song, it doesn't need the follow-up of Homecoming, and even so, the problem with the American Idiot and 21st Century Breakdown songs that aren't the singles, are that the songs make no goddamn sense outside of the albums that they're on, though American Idiot had many more songs that work as standalone tracks. Also following up Wake Me Up with Holiday is like taking a horse tranquilizer then doing a line of coke just before the tranquilizer kicks in. Nice Guys Finish Last/Hitchin' A Ride. Sure. These two work together. NOT AS ENDING SONGS THOUGH. You really want your last two songs in a two/three hour Green Day concert to be a three-minute quicky punk song followed by a riffy blues jam? I don't think anyone wants that. Ever. Then the encore of Brutal Love and Good Riddance, I mean, those two are fine and great as "last two songs" material, but you need the big fast songs before it in order for you to give a shit, if not it just makes Green Day look like old people (-cough cough Rolling Stones phoning it in still cough cough-). They played their songs, they fucked off to backstage, crowd was making noise, they were like "fuck it I'm getting too old for this shit, let's play a slow song and then I'll do an acoustic thing and the crowd can go fuck themselves home". Anyway, look, I'm not here to ruin your fun or nothing, I'm sure with a lot of these sets you are indeed joking, and you can make these things whenever you please, it makes no real difference to me. My problem is that you yourself have made probably over a hundred posts in this thread if not more, and hardly any of these setlists make a modicum of realistic sense, but everyone seems to just go with it, maybe cuz of the idea of your setlists just being all in good fun and they're songs you think of just off the top of your head, but dude, seriously? Not only has the joke gotten a bit fucking old by setlist 386, but there's no real joke there other than "I pressed shuffle on my Green Day playlist on iTunes and I threw in My Heart Will Go On this time, this is still funny right?" because it's really not funny anymore if it is indeed a joke. You've beaten this dead horse so fucking much that you're just pounding at the dust left behind from the decayed skeleton of the horse. Think of a concert like a roller coaster, you have to take your audience up and down at the appropriate moments and build things up at the right times. If you ignore this, you give everyone whiplash and break some necks, people go flying out of their seats, and you get sued and sent to jail for manslaughter and a myriad of other broken laws. In any case, I have been a High Horse, it's like 3 am, good afternoon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighHorse Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Also I would like to point out that I'm not just talking to thatdude03, I mean most people who make these setlists. Once again, I get it that it's a "dream setlist" and you're just writing the songs you wanna hear, but, come on man. Think about the songs you're putting in order. It's like some of you have never been to a concert before, let alone a Green Day concert, let alone understand how a crowd's energy would work. I'm no stadium-trotting musician, but I certainly understand how to pace a setlist and keep the crowd from looking at the band like "what in the fuck are you doing". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighHorse Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am indeed being sarcastic for the most part, as in the criticizing of the setlists. I'm giving legitimate reasons why it wouldn't work, but at the same time, I'm very well aware that no one actually gives a shit about putting the songs in an order that makes any sense. It's not really so much about criticizing the setlist creators on their shoddy lists, it's more that I've been through the thread and haven't found a single setlist that I fully agree with, be it from a realistic standpoint or otherwise, which I find rather odd given that this thread is over 50 pages long and has been around for ten years. In any case, I figured I'd have some fun by sitting on a High Horse and voice that opinion in an overly serious but still sarcastic way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the encore of Brutal Love and Good Riddance, I mean, those two are fine and great as "last two songs" material, but you need the big fast songs before it in order for you to give a shit, if not it just makes Green Day look like old people (-cough cough Rolling Stones phoning it in still cough cough-). They played their songs, they fucked off to backstage, crowd was making noise, they were like "fuck it I'm getting too old for this shit, let's play a slow song and then I'll do an acoustic thing and the crowd can go fuck themselves home". Anyway, look, I'm not here to ruin your fun or nothing, I'm sure with a lot of these sets you are indeed joking, and you can make these things whenever you please, it makes no real difference to me. My problem is that you yourself have made probably over a hundred posts in this thread if not more, and hardly any of these setlists make a modicum of realistic sense, but everyone seems to just go with it, maybe cuz of the idea of your setlists just being all in good fun and they're songs you think of just off the top of your head, but dude, seriously? Not only has the joke gotten a bit fucking old by setlist 386, but there's no real joke there other than "I pressed shuffle on my Green Day playlist on iTunes and I threw in My Heart Will Go On this time, this is still funny right?" because it's really not funny anymore if it is indeed a joke. You've beaten this dead horse so fucking much that you're just pounding at the dust left behind from the decayed skeleton of the horse. Think of a concert like a roller coaster, you have to take your audience up and down at the appropriate moments and build things up at the right times. If you ignore this, you give everyone whiplash and break some necks, people go flying out of their seats, and you get sued and sent to jail for manslaughter and a myriad of other broken laws. In any case, I have been a High Horse, it's like 3 am, good afternoon. Love this post. I might read it all the way through later but I'm making quesadilla's at the moment. I actually haven't done a "just press shuffle one for a while since switching computers. Now I go to Green Day's Wikipedia and pick and choose songs from each album. I'm trying to make set lists that represent their entire career instead "a ton of American Idiot and Dookie with a few other songs thrown in". I enjoy it. Your opinions are valid about the order of songs not really working but that's kind of the idea. My ideal setlist would be super random and stupid, because it would be fun to see. There are some Green Day songs that I believe we as fans will never, ever see performed live, and it's painful for the people who love those songs. and I actually make lists with purposely bad pacing because that would be a change of pace. Sometimes as I'm typing them up I realize that due to what guitars they use/ keys they are in, some of what I am typing up is not logisticly possible. Certain songs are played together because of the tuning/guitar setups/etc. But again, I enjoy making them. And I enjoyed your post as well. Thanks! Here's a coherent set list just for you, man! 1. Sex Drugs and Violence 2. F(woo) Time 3. Let Yourself GO 4. Murder City 5. St. Jimmy 6. Castaway 7. Nice Guys Finish Last 8. Armatage Shanks 9. She 10. American Idiot 11. One for the Razorbacks 12. Disappearing Boy 13. Minority Short and Fast set list! 7 hours ago, Jane Lannister said: @HighHorse, the dude is know about being dead serious about his setlists. Especially when they're criticized. One day one of the guys in Green Day is going to be on here, find this thread and they will play ever single one on here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
