I've stated it often before, but Revolution Radio is a record that shines when it's performed live. Just about every song sounds significantly better live, even Youngblood. I love Youngblood!! So bouncy and catchy! People take it too seriously but I do agree with you. It sounded fucking amazing when they played it at Sound Space(?) I think it was. Bang Bang live is becoming the same as American Idiot, overplayed. Sorry for going off on tangents. I have so much to say after not being on here for ages haha 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can tell they're damn proud of how Rev Rad came out -- they're playing the shit out of it live. Â Just when we were thinking after last tour that they're just doing "greatest hits" stuff now, they've carted out I think 8(!!) out of its 12 songs since they started touring the album. Â Somewhere Now and Youngblood have both been out a few times, Bang Bang, Rev Rad, Still Breathing are staples, Forever Now looks like their go-to closer now for the main set, Troubled Times made an appearance the other day, and Billie is closing out the encore with Ordinary World. Â On the last tour I think there were maybe 3 songs out of the Trilogy's 36 on the regular setlist? Â What a difference. Spoiler Would kill or die to hear Bouncing Off The Wall and Too Dumb to Die. Â Both would kick ass live....maybe this summer? Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lionblaze Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 Forever Now might have become my favorite Green Day song ever. Everythings is perfect, the modulation, the "I want a better way to die" part, this awesome riff, the end-chorus with the choir, the end solo... Must be badass live Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St. Jonny Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Very fun to play on all instruments. My band enjoys doing it, they created one hell of a song here. We usually do Somewhere Now and off the bass line at the end, we go into Forever Now. Cannot wait to rock it live, with all there pyro and shit, going to get so high for these shows!! "I ain't gonna stand in line no more" part is magnificent, and I have gotten used to the punk rocker on labor day line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it just seemed like that to us because of the amount of songs and the amount we wanted vs: got. Yep I know people wanted more songs played (I would've liked more as well) but Mike told one of the U.K. dudes they did a radio interview for that for the tour they decided to think of the trilogy as one album and pick the 7 songs as opposed to playing 7 songs from each album and having to take out the hits to make room I wish they would have changed songs from each show like play 3 or 4 of the trilogy at every show then change up the rest could've played more trilogy songs like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me awhile (and a bunch of persuading by @crock6000!) but I came around to looking at it as urgency instead of procrastination. Â Brilliant wordplay, saying essentially "I'll procrastinate some other time" which distills down to "I'll procrastinate procrastinating". Â Love it, love it, love it.

Ian1234 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 I love the drums on this song. The Lyrics on it are great as well. I think my favorite lyric on this song is: "I wanna start a Revolution, I wanna hear it on the Radio and put it off another day." The ending of this song reminds me of the ending off of Homecoming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes, essentially the double negative makes it so brilliant and playful as a lot of his lines are. Â We could have a whole thread on lines of Billie's that do just that. Â I've also noticed that the whole "revolution" concept that runs through the album is left undefined. Â It can be political, it can be personal, it can be both, it can be something entirely different. Â I think Billie intended it as personal more than political, though: "I never learned to read or write so well but I can play the guitar until it hurts like hell." -- Very personal, not self-deprecating in the least, a candid acknowledgment of what he's really, really good at...and this in turn is the tool that fuels his own personal revolution. Â Compare his overall writing from his haze-filled, doped-out or drunk days, where nothing matters and nobody cares....in FN he takes a (literally) sobering look at what that got him and says "if this is what you call the good life, I want another way to die." Â Mix in "we all die in threes" from Somewhere Now, and what I take from all this is Billie saying "I am NOT leaving this planet drugged up and alone, motherfuckers. Â I want to bring all sorts of different people built around what I'm great at, of rock'n' roll, of love, of thousands of people screaming out my music at the top of their lungs" -- that "new conspiracy and the silence of a thousand cries" he writes about, closing out that killer bridge with "so hurry up I want a better way to die". Â That's the urgency, the "I'm not going to procrastinate this time". Â It's "When I go, I'm going out at the top of my game, doing what I do best. Â Not at the bottom."

BilIie Joe Armstrong Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 ^yes, it is both personal or more universal or both. It's more of a concept - making a change. For the better, that is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ballads belong at the end. I think Green Day should have released RevRad without OW, for two reason: 1) The album would be "complete", with FN being in the end; 2) They could release OW as an indipendent single, which would have been something far more exciting for the fans.

St. Jonny Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 I don't buy singles. I like it on the album since it's from a movie, but now it's on the album, so I have it. If it were sold separately I don't think people would like it any more and like I said, I probably wouldn't buy just one song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
