Interesting that a song from Shenanigans made it into American Pie 2. An album of B-sides that could not be a part of the tape collection 'cause it isn't an official album had two songs that were used in movies. American Pie 2 and Austin Powers 2. Scumbag is one of my favorite Shenanigans tracks, good choice for a movie! Are there any others I am missing?

I'm planning not to check out the setlist when their European shows start on January 10th because I'll see them only 8 days later. I wanna get surprised which songs they perform, but I don't know if I'll be strong enough to resist the temptation... :D

These songs were used in the films then later made it on to Shenanigans, rather than being picked for the films from Shenanigans.  It makes sense to put these 'one-off' songs on a B-sides compilation - you wouldn't expect to find the Simpsons theme on 21CB, or even on an international superhits 2.  These songs are deeper cuts.  I do agree that they're great songs though, I think Espionage is even my brother's favourite GD song.

That'd be a great thing to do, but I know I won't be able to resist :lol: I'm excited to finally be able to follow the tour threads, since the shows will be happening in my timezone.

I think I'd probably cave in and have a look, I couldn't help myself :lol: 

For Dublin in June, there's a few songs I would definitely hope to see on the setlist, but I just hope there's representation from all of Green Day's discography!!

I know I shouldn't check them out or I'll be bitching in advance 

Same. I'd only complain about the lack of 21CB, No One Knows, Worry Rock, Jinx/Haushinka and Church on Sunday and Misery. However, as long as they play Forever Now live, I'll be in heaven.

I would love to see all the songs you mentioned in Dublin, particularly 21CB, No One Knows, Haushinka and Misery! :lol:

I'd complain about KFAD and threaten that I'll throw a fit if they don't play me Scattered and Stuart. :P

Edit: i wanted to say I'd complain about KYE. Nevermind - I complain about both

No matter how hard my brother protests that he doesn't like Green Day, I saw how he stayed to watch the American Idiot music video on the TV and then left once it had finished :lol:

I'd like some sort of medley of Holiday/Say Goodbye or the songs being interwoven like they did on the Howard Stern show.

Yeah, the medley on the Stern show was amazing. Holiday and Say Goodbye have a very similar vibe, they fit together very well. I'm dying to hear this on the European tour, or even better: Holiday and Say Goodbye both in their entirety, one flows into the other one. :wub:

I wonder if GD will do another Facebook live at some point during the tour? I want them to do a Facebook live because the Facebook live threads in this forum have been so hilarious :lol:

Consider this a silent plead to Green Day: please do another Facebook live.

I'm really hoping that Kerplunk and Insomniac will get some good exposure on the tour! I'd do literally anything to see 80, Holden, Stuart and Bab's live in person :lol:

Christie Road is a staple this tour and both 2000 Lightyears Away and Private Ale should be represented. Not sure about Holden since they played it often during the 21CB tour, but definitely possible since it's Billie's favorite. I always forget about Bab's. Anyways, Walking Contradiction would be a worthy substitute. Personally I'd love to have something else from Warning besides Minority and Waiting. Mopefully they also perform 21CB songs aside from Know Your Enemy. Personally, I was very pleasantly surprised they played Murder City live during the 1-2-3-4 Records benefit show.
