I can't stand Billies guitar solo in American Idiot when they play it live. It doesn't sound good at all to me and when you're at the show it seems like it goes on forever. I've heard some versions live that were pretty bad as well. Not just with the length but they just didn't sound great overall. I don't mind if they go on a bit with an extended solo if it sounds great but keep it short. I've seen some where he goes on and on and then goes into the call & response as well.

Fun crowd participation or corny overkill that takes up too time they could spend playing more songs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that their show is so thought out that there's basically no surprises bothers me way more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corny overkill that takes up too much time. In a similar way, too many songs have been extended live in a show. Used to just be Paper Lanterns. Then it was King for a Day. But now in any given setlist you have someone being pulled onstage for Know Your Enemy, Longview and Knowledge, water cannons and T-shirts during 2000 Light Years Away, extended tomfoolery and rant during KFAD, extended band intros during Minority, and that’s not to mention all the hey-oh’s throughout nearly every song, a long guitar solo in AI and a typical 9 minute Jesus of Suburbia. So much of the show is dragged out now they should scale it back and they could easily fit 4-5 more songs in the same span of time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point it can be predictable. I can participate at a Green Day show on autopilot at this point I think if it's done correctly it's a great thing. Everyone's up on their feet and building up energy at the venue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerjeezus Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 He does too much of it and the rants are also a bit too much. I don't care about hearing about peace and love instead of a song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs new banter. Here’s a question for y’all, if you could only choose one would you rather: A) Get the same setlist as RevRad (with the exception of the new songs) but completely new banter and crowd interaction, or B) Get a completely changed up setlist but the exact same hey-oh’s rants and predictable shtick? So which is it, speechless or redundant? 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he does that to catch some breath. If it wasn't for the 'hey ohs' and the shout (shit) medley, the show will be shorter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Different setlist because the scripted BS is easy to tune out and a great time to drink water and snap a couple of photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yosuke Hanamura Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 Also why do they slightly change the setlist up randomly for certain shows? Like at Corona Capital. Geek Stink Breath, Nice Guys Finish Last, F.O.D. I mean come on, are we supposed to believe they are more worthy of a more varied lineup than literally any other fan at ANY OTHER concert?

I don't think they chose the setlist because of the city. I just think they play different songs when they want and they don't really care. And it's okay like that.

South America always gets the best setlists. I’ve heard them say the audiences in Europe and SA are wilder and get more excited over deep tracks where in the US they need to play the favorites to get the crowd riled up or they don’t get excited.
