First thought after hearing that Billie lost his shit at that show?

Rehab makes for great song writing

Am I bad person?

...Yeah Probably


But what if they did the Dookie so they could film those shows for a Dookiedeluxe dvd?

I think the fact they decided that DookieDeluxe is more important then supporting their massive 37 song effort says a lot...

I think in the future there not going to play a whole lot of the trilogy songs anymore. I think with there next album there going to tour from it and the setlist is goin to have some songs from every album except the trilogy. The only songs I really imagine them to continue having as a staple for a setlist is stay the night and 99 revolutions

They already only have 5 songs from it in their standard setlist. I can see Brutal Love staying, and I hope Stay The Night does. As for the rest, whatever. I can't say I trust them with setlists ever since they dropped 21st Century Breakdown and kept Know Your Enemy.

The day that I see Castaway, Dirty Rotten Bastards, Jinx/Haushinka, or Homecoming on a set list will be the day I approve of Green Day's concert decisions

Castaway <3

I think they'll get more creative with the setlists next tour. This tour was weird in that they were trying to shake off the dust for nearly the whole US leg. They probably wanted to keep things easy. The last couple of shows have featured some weird set lists

I believe the 21cb tour is closer to how they want to run things, and it will be closer to what we see in the future

It's was an odd tour, with 90% cookie-cutter stuff and 10% out of nowhere Dookie playthroughs

I remember seeing that scratchy video of Kill the DJ and being blown away. Then the single came out and I was like "Oh...cool..."

Little Boy Named Train is one of those songs that you cry over and try to forget you ever listened to.

That must be your opinion, dont make it universal, pal.

Gut feeling: Stay the Night, Oh Love, and Brutal Love will stay on the setlist long-term.

Oh Love? Noooo!

X-Kid, 99 Revs, and SWTRLF are all probable as well

Oh Love was the only trilogy song that got any reaction, at least from the show I went to. I love X-Kid, but it just didn't work live...the place exploded when Minority happened right after. I could see the other two

What I don't get is how come they didn't wait longer to pick better songs for the trilogy? Obviously everyone has different opinions so don't rip my head off for this one but I think these songs were pointless and could of been replaced with much better songs if they waited:

UNO:

Angle blue

Dos:

Basically every track besides

(Fuck time

Lazy bones

Stray heart

Amy)

Tre:

Little boy named Train

And the songs that should stay but could of had alittle more work on is Fell For You, Oh love, sex drugs and violence, walk away, the forgotten.

The rest of the songs left over are perfect.

Again my opionon.

Dude X Kid wasn't even a regular on this tour :P

It was played at my Rosemont show, so that's 100% as per my concert attendance :P

I really thought it was played more though...

It was a regular at the beginning of the tour, then it kinda just faded away it seems like

Nah you're not a bad person. After the show, I was pumped up and felt that love of Green Day that I had when I first got into them.

When did I say it was universal, "pal"?

The studio vocal sounds too different from what Billie actually sounds like, it was bound to be disappointing live

Yeah I love stray heart on the album

But when I saw em at sxsw seemed like it was a struggle for him to sing it live

I don't care for stray heart it studio version or live the studio one sounds like he's bored when singin it or flat if that makes any sense. I think the best I ever hear it being sung was at the tiki bar, or the concert I went to in providence rhode island

The trilogy is not very based

It is too polished and uninspired... for you to say it's one of their strongest outings is just wrong

Kill the DJ? That is not based at all!! That is spreading negativity

I will pray billie joe follows lil b on twitter and finds the magic to create another outstanding album

It's kind of silly that Green Day hasn't made an outstanding album in 10 years..

How the hell do any of you know Green Day's reasons for not playing more of the trilogy on tour? You don't, so to speculate it's because they don't like it or aren't proud of it or "want to close the door on this era" is nonsense. I guarantee had BJ not gone to rehab, at least half of the cancelled tour would have been trilogy material. News flash: the band aren't the only ones with a say in the set list. Sponsors, the label, others behind the scenes, these people want HITS to be the majority of any tour. Now the exception is when a band is on tour promoting new material, then of course new stuff is expected to be played to help promote. And by the time BJ got out of rehab, I'm sure all those involved realized the promotion ship had sailed, hence let's save as much face on tour as possible and play songs we KNOW people are going to like (aka the hits). But this in no way implies the band doesn't like the trilogy or isn't proud of it, especially considering BJ said it was the best material they've ever written (I don't think anyone agrees with that, but if that's how he feels so be it).

Look how many songs from Warning and 21stCB got played on this past tour: Minority and Know Your Enemy. Every other album had at least a few played from it. Those are the band's least successful albums commercially (along with the trilogy now), so of course they are going to play more popular material (again, most likely not their call). However I bet they are still very proud of those albums as well.

The point of all my rambling is this: if the band had complete control over what gets played on tour, odds are more of the trilogy would have made the list.

I just can't understand how some people dislike songs like Stay the Night, Fell For You, Rusty James, SWTRLF, Wild One, Stray Heart, Amy, Brutal Love, Missing You or X-Kid.

Those songs are genuinely fantastic and can be compare to big hits from AI or Dookie in my opinion.

I'm agree is not they're greatest records but it doesnt deserve that amount of hate.

I'd say all those songs except for Stray Heart and Brutal love are all garbage and were way too predictable. Glimpses of potential in them, but completely failed flat imo. Twas not a fan of the vocal melodies in this trilogy.
