I mean during the AI tour we had BIAB of course. ANd then the 21st CB tour we had AAF movie + live album as same as the BIAB. And then we had the trilogy area where we had far more live footage AND a DVD showing us the creation behind the albums. ANd now we have just finished one of their biggest tours and greatest in my opnion and its one hell of a shame that we dont have a live DVD or live album ,preferrably both. Shame on you both GD and the GD team. Hugely dissapointed. I really wasn't expecting a live album for this tour. This whole era has been much more intimate, not as big as their other recent eras like the AI, 21CB or trilogy eras. I mean the album was their shortest work since Warning (counting all 3 trilogy albums as one work), the album was self produced and done with as little people and in a small studio, the tour wasn't as long as the AI or 21CB tours, there weren't as many shows. And really, if there was another live album, we'd basically get more of the same songs we already have on the other live albums. All their greatest hits. I mean, only like 6 or 7 of the new songs were played live. I mean, even AAF got some criticism that some of the songs were already on BIAB. That would've been even more of an issue on a 3rd live album. I think the entire point of this era is that it wasn't supposed to be a massive project like the rock operas or the trilogy were. The album was described as "not so much a makeover as a make under". I'd assume the tour would be the same. I wouldn't say it was one of their "biggest" tours.

No I completely get you. It’s not that I’m saying that they should tour with the Fuck Fighters, they could tour with several other bands to help turn heads and get people to come see them that wouldn’t normally come see them. When I saw Kiss and Def Leppard together I know a few people that didn’t really like kiss before and that would have never gone to kiss show were saying that they would see them whenever they came through again. And Def Leppard was doing fine before that tour but now they are doing amazing. And it’s not that coheadling tours are for washed up bands. Gun N Roses and Metallica toured together in the 90s. To be be honest though. Green Day would probably be opening for the Foo Fighters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They gotta do something to turn some heads besides release another political album. Green Day have turned many heads with their RevRad tour, even with their relatively small promotion, and touring without co-headlining. At Hyde Park last year the audience in the front ended up booing Rancid near the end of their set (I was seeing them for the 1st time and kinda enjoying, though) and started screaming "Green Day" in repeat... It is true that many people aren't even aware that GD are still around and in such a shape, but this isn't a matter for the band to prove anything... For people who have got to see them live during this tour, it certainly makes no doubt they are (still) the best live band. I've even read it from several reviewers about various gigs of this tour. So yeah, I only wish Green Day even more success and to be more known for what they do currently, and I believe they'd do well in some co-headlining (like we've seen at Global Citizen festival in September last year), but I don't believe that's a must for their next album's promoting tour, as to get more audience and show they're the best. I know they are, but I neither don't want to be forced to see another big band, that I may happen not to like, in order to see GD during their next tour. I'd see them with any other artists if I had to, but I only want to see them, and I want them to have all the time they want, as they usually do. 4 hours ago, Christian's Inferno! said: And really, if there was another live album, we'd basically get more of the same songs we already have on the other live albums.

I just think that sometime in the next 10 years that would be something to consider for them. They are and always will have amazing numbers in the UK and Europe. The music Indus has changed a lot and rock bands need to tour with other bands headlining acts or intermediate acts to even sell out arenas and amphitheaters. Green Day did pretty good on there own with two bands that are by no means major in the US so props to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillenniumFan Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 There’s plenty of songs that they played throughout the last tour that haven’t made it onto any live album that could be put on a new compilation live album, such as: during arena tour: -welcome to paradise -paper lanterns (though it was available as a AAF iTunes bonus track) -2000 Light Years Away (though also available as AAF bonus track) -Christie Road (partial and also available as AAF bonus track) -Stuck with me -86 -Coming Clean -Scattered -Waiting -F.O.D -Nice Guys Finish Last -Jaded -Nuclear Family and just from RevRad: -Bang Bang -RevRad -Too Dumb Too Die -Youngblood -Still Breathing -Forever Now -Ordinary World Not to mention the club tour, where they played stuff like: -Stuart and the Avenue -Private Ale -Armatage Shanks -409 in Your Coffee Maker -Brat -One of My Lies And there’s also still that 2015 House of Blues show they could release in full. So there’s definitely plenty of stuff that they could release on a (compilation) live album. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but most of those songs wouldn't be put on a live album because they're not greatest hits or live staples. If another live album were to be released, I'm sure it'd just be more of the same songs on BIAB and AAF. Out of all those songs, I could see maybe 5 or 6 of the RevRad songs being on it, Welcome to Paradise and Waiting. The rest would just be what we've already heard on the other live albums.

Joe. Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 From a business point of view, is there a huge demand for another live album?

Christian's Inferno! Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 So it's been a while since anyone's posted on this thread but I was curious so I just thought I'd update how the RR songs have done at this point, over 18 months since their release, just in case anyone is interested. Somewhere Now at 7.66m spotify streams Bang Bang at 40.91m spotify streams and 24.74m YouTube views (Music + lyric videos) Revolution Radio at 22.69m spotify streams and 19.32m YouTube views (Music + lyric videos) Say Goodbye at 8.98m spotify streams and 6.83m YouTube views (lyric) Outlaws at 7.3m spotify streams Bouncing off the Walls at 6.4m spotify streams Still Breathing at 42.69m spotify streams and 31.36m YouTube views (Music + lyric videos) Youngblood at 9.1m spotify streams and 4.57m YouTube views (lyric) Too Dumb To Die at 7.06m spotify streams and 5.02m YouTube views (lyric) Troubled Times at 7.94m spotify streams and 6.48m YouTube views (lyric) Forever Now at 6.96m spotify streams Ordinary World at 10.27m spotify streams and 4.75m YouTube views (lyric) So Still Breathing is the most successful song of the album at this stage with the most streams and views on Spotify and YouTube, followed by Bang Bang. That might come as a surprise to some people who may have thought Bang Bang was the bigger hit The Spotify streams for every song are significantly better now than they were months ago. In fact, they're over double what they were in March of 2017 as you can see here. https://chartmasters.org/2017/03/cspc-green-day-popularity-analysis/26/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greendepent Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 About dvd and promotional stuff, you have to understand that Green Day likes the DIY approach a lot and they don't have a team for videos and such (as Metallica does, for example) Filming, recording, mixing, mastering, design is a long and hard, high time consuming task. Don't mention the money involved. That's why we don't see very often a new release. And why reissues for Kerplunk and Nimrod don't have any new stuff. Sad for us, but also is kind of coo because you appreciate a lot more the things they do when they release something new.

Maddie86 Posted May 31, 2018 Share Posted May 31, 2018 I'm really wondering what the next album will be like. I feel like RevRad was a perfect way to follow the trilogy, I liked that it was self produced in a small studio without the label knowing about it, but I don't want them to do that every time. I like that it was a mix of epic green day and classic green day, and I liked that it charted well but wasn't super huge. the tours were great and Billie seems really happy, I'm so glad that he's in a good place now. If every Green Day album from here on out was like Revrad, I wouldn't be disappointed. It's nowhere near my favorite album, but it's good, most bands that have this long of a career don't have material this good! I still think the greatest hits release back in the fall was uncalled for, especially since they didn't promote it. If they would have used it as a platform to tour more or do more interviews and tv performances then cool, I love seeing them do that stuff, but I would have rather seen them end the revrad era differently. After seeing the Longshot last weekend, I'm definitely making it a goal to see Green Day at a theater show for the next album! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Counting the "Fifth member exclusives", there are over 100 videos from only the last tour. Also, the most videos posted in their social media are recorded with handheld cameras, so editing starts from zero. Also, the audio mixing is not that "really easy". Their current sdb have its flaws there and there. Even they had for a time the team who mixed their last record to re-do some shows and the results are different. In short, the amount of money to keep something like that running is not low. Knowing how they like keep the things low, is very unlikely to happen, sadly.

Less and less people buy physical copies, so seeing a large increase in streaming. 1500 streams are now equivalent of an album unit so streaming is vital for an album's success, even if most of it is just fans returning to it. But still, it's much higher now than the streams of the trilogy albums. The track with the best streams on the trilogy is Oh Love at only 17.5m streams. And while the streaming for the trilogy has also increased, it's not been at the same rate as RR. So I consider this a rebound from the trilogy which was a commercial failure and I think over time, RR will sell more and get more streams than the trilogy, eventually overtaking Uno in sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
