We were watching finding dory in spanish class once and in one scene they drove by gilman street and apparently it was put in there because gilman street is near pixar studios but all I could think about was green day

Here’s some more:

If you look at the Green Day top Spotify list, most of what is on there is what they play in concert. So maybe they are listening.

How did you get this info?

Go to their artist page and it’s the top 5 most listened (listed before the albums). You can expand it to 10. Each song also shows their overall streaming numbers.

Yes I know how to do top 10.  There is some algorithm that we can't see that shows what city or what fans are listening to.  I know this because you could win tickets to a garage session with Vance Joy in OZ on the basis of who were the top listeners to his music. 

Wonder who the surprise guest will be?

I saw that ad, do you think Billie would go to London for one surprise appearance with this sons?  I kind of dismissed it when I saw where it was but who knows.

I went on Spotify and looked up top Green Day songs. It isn't exact but most of the top songs matched the set list

The website says a US artist.

But that's not telling who is listening to what songs in what city.  They can see that.  Also it would open up a small part in the setlist for some surprises.

No, it doesn't list it by city, but I doubt there would be alot of differences by city. My guess would be it is primarily the same mix of songs. Yes there could be some surprises but for the most part, they do play their most streamed songs in concert. I'm not saying they can't mix things up, but if they did based on this, it would still be a similar set list.

I've never seen a Metallica show so I don't know how it's built and what are the strong points, but in a Green Day show the setlist purposely built in some way is a strong point. It may be subjective to say that Green Day have gone better as the RevRad tour went on but to me it has definitely something to do with the core setlist staying the same. They just played it with more and more passion and I loved that. Same for The Longshot. Billie puts some sense into the setlist as he puts some sense into the order of the songs in each album. Of course any Green Day songs we haven't heard yet, and even more rare songs would be great too if they feel to do so, but the way they more lately played their many hits is so badass that I'm plainly satisfied with it, and I don't care so much about how many hits they'll keep for the future setlists and if they keep them all. I would only be a bit disappointed if my favorite RevRad hits were gone for good. :P Never again witnessing songs I loved to see live would be an immensely bigger disappointment than never hearing other songs I love as much but that were quite never played. But I trust Green Day to do the best choices of the songs they'll play so that they always put on the best shows ever. If it's a strategy by Metallica to try to attract more fans by changing their setlist so easily, good for them, but Green Day don't base the strength of their show on this type of strategy, and I like it that way. It doesn't mean they don't pay attention to what the fans like, they have played many, many rare songs through the years and during each tour. Even if they don't add them to their regular setlist. And they have, once again, played several rare songs throughout all the RevRad tour, and many other rare songs in the previous tours while their setlist was also different, with a lot of new songs each time. I really don't complain about how many and various are the songs they've played until now, if anything I don't want them to feel obliged to change their setlist more than they would have if it weren't for wanting to do like Metallica.

I'm so desperate for the next Green Day era! First time I'll be here on GDC to join the hype and I can't wait. Finally people to discuss and obsess over minor details with! I have such high hopes for the next album. I feel like they gained confidence with RevRad and hopefully there's more experimental music in the making. Maybe, just maybe, they'll switch up the setlist too. Not holding my breath for that one though 😁

When all you get from other people is a sigh and they roll their eyes 😂

I think its misleading because people who dont subscribe to Spotify are just given these songs when they search GD.  Im not saying that they aren't the most popular.  I only listen to GD by albums in general but when I listen on spotify I have a GD & side projects playlist so I would be know help.

@jengd if I lived close & there were public tickets available I would grab one.

I don't think these are the songs people are given. They are the songs people know, so they search them. And if they listen to a GD playlist, they might hear something new to them and the plays might increase. But for the most part people want to hear the songs they know.

I think what @SHART means is if you don’t have a premium subscription to Spotify you can only choose an artist but not the songs (free Pandora is the same). The service will then choose the songs for you. They may be chosen randomly, by popularity or based on whichever songs the service wants to promote for some reason.

You can choose songs without Spotify Premium on the computer, but if you use it on your phone you can't. I don't have premium and it's not the most popular songs that starts playing. I'd say it's a mix of everything in their discography so it seems pretty random.

That isn't true, I don't have a premium subscription and I search choose songs all the time. I created a playlist and just add each song to the playlist I want it in. So my point is that people are searching and playing what they want to hear. Yes spotify makes suggestions and brings up songs based on what you search, but ultimately people can play and hear what they want.

I can't believe it took me 13 years to stop hating Are We The Waiting. It's absolutely beautiful and it baffles me it took me so long to appreciate it.

I kinda feel guilty saying this because they're having fun with this playlist but I just had the thought "I wish GD would change their setlist half as frequently as they update the Oakland coffee playlist"

Nothing to feel guilty about. Their setlists never changing are infuriating lol

Sometimes I wonder if investing so much energy on this band is worthy. Then I remember that my chance is still there

Your chance for what?

Not directly Green Day related, but I so wish this guy would do this kinda thing with one of Billie's interviews, because this seriously cracked me up 😂
