I thought I was the only one that didn't like it and I'm so glad I'm not. To me, it's just too slow and it goes on too long. I don't hate it, but it's the only song from RevRad that I can't get into. It definitely should've been faster, it would sound so much better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my least favorite song on RevRad. The only part I like is the guitar in the bridge and the line "I plead my innocence cuz that's the best defense when you are young." He's a clever boy, he can't help himself. 😁 Still it can't redeem the whole song for me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedundantIdiot Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 GD should take out JOS (I do like it though), play FN in its place, and with the extra minutes gained by taking out JOS they could play something old school off Kerplunk or Insomniac/something off the trilogy As for KFAD and the medley- it was a lot better than what I expected. I think I went into the gig expecting to hate that part of the show but actually it was quite fun. When Rev Rad 1st came out I wasn't keen on Outlaws but I've come to like it a lot more over time- I still think its a bit long though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montclare Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Huh. I came here to say I would rank at least 50 songs above JOS expecting that to be an unpopular opinion (I'd be downvoted to hell for saying that on the Reddit sub), but looks like I'm not the only one. I don't dislike the song by any means, it just has never stood out to me. I never even knew it was popular until I started going to fan boards. And I love Outlaws.

greendepent Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Outlaws acoustic would be a great song to close the set. It shares a lot of chords with 21 guns, so probably the feeling is similar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you bring up a good point that maybe I'd like it more if it were arranged differently (either faster or acoustic might be interesting).

MillenniumFan Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 I don't really like 21 guns purely acoustic that much though, I wish (like with WMUWSE) that they'd play the full or semi-full band version of it. Still, there's plenty of other 21CB songs that I could think of that I'd be much keener to hear (title track, EJN, Before The Lobotomy, Viva La Gloria, Horseshoes and Handgranades, Restless Heart Syndrome). I think the two main reasons why this setlist seems so stale and old is: 1. Lack of alteration, / variety between shows. 2. Heavy reliance on hit songs from AI and Dookie. Other albums such as Warning, Nimrod, and 21CB are underrepresented and Insomniac and the trilogy are even omitted completely. The fact that (besides the songs from RevRad) the newest song on their setlist is KYE from 2009, and that it's the only song played from 21CB makes the setlist seem old as well. I think if they played more from each album (so cut down on a few Dookie and AI songs) and varied the setlist slightly each night leaving a slot for a few rarities or lesser known / lesser played songs, that would already make a huge huge difference... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miko Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I fucking love ¡Dos!. I'm seriously not trolling or anything, it has became my favorite Green Day album for sure; Fuck Time, Stop When The Red Lights Flash, Lazy Bones, Makeout Party, Ashley, Lady Cobra, Nightlife, Wow! That's Loud.. of course Wild One, Amy and See You Tonight are good too, but not as good as previously listed. Especially Lady Cobra and Makeout Party are THE TRACKS that I listen daily. Sure, the lyrics aren't as creative as it was on 21CB, but goddamn, they really know how to rock and roll. Kind of odd seeing this album as ''the worst GD album ever'' when I really love it, but I guess I have different taste. So, that was my first post. I like to lurk mostly, but someday I may post another comment. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think Somewhere Now is their best. Well my criteria for the best song is the instrumental level and the lyric level. And when i say instrumental i mean melody, pattern and so on.... And just how the song in general is, i think everyone can agree that JOS is quite epic. But it's not my favourite. As i said my favourites are Whatsername or WMUWSE.

pacejunkie punk Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I don't understand the hate for any of the trilogy except that it shouldn't have been a trilogy for commercial reasons. I love all three of them though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jengd Posted August 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2017 Ha, I never normally visit this thread as I'm not always very objective about my boys, however, I too really like Dos. I don't think it's their best work but I think it's kind of loose and sexy, that's the best way I can describe it 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libertine Angel Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 There are a few solid tracks on Dos, but not as many as I'd like on an album, and also fuck Nightlife. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pashalasscqua Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 Dos is the cd I keep in my car CD player. It's the back up in case my phone is about to die .

emmericanidiot Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 I just watched my videos back from Feb at the O2 and the messing around during Hitchin a Ride lasts 4+ minutes, I love crowd interaction to a certain extent but come on guys you could play another 2 songs in that time! I think the novelty's worn off for me after 4 shows so god knows how people who've been loads of times and hate it feel when they hear the first 'hey'. Probably like me and just go 'heyyyyyy no, stop' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's pretty much it, especially if you've seen them several times. I think we lucked out on the club tour because they actually did songs from Nimrod, but looking at the setlist for this tour leg is like wow...I'm not missing anything. That's not to say that if I saw them again this year I wouldn't love every minute of it because they kick ass live, but some spontaneity would be nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just works, especially for the big crowds. I think the people at the Hurricane Festival (which I attended) really liked the performance of King for a day (and even the medley).
