And it's a very danceable song. I feel like it would be a great moment during the show. *Wall Youngblood is kind of similar in that it's high energy and catchy. I mean it's a song about his wife that he thinks is cool (there's an interview where he says he thinks it's better that LOTAG and sounds like he's proud of it I believe, even if he doesn't specifically say "I like it") so doesn't surprise me that he'd want to play it. Probably nice to do when she's watching from the side of the stage. 58 minutes ago, Hero_Of_The_Hour said: Are you so sure about that? Remember iHeart when he abruptly stopped midway through Basket Case and said something along the lines of fuck this shit I want to play something new. A glimpse of honesty breaking through. Maybe even he doesn't play what HE wants but what he thinks the audience wants or worse again it isn't even him calling all the shots after all who writes "mic drop" on their own setlist unless they have severe memory problems and we've seen that on quite a few of the setlists from small venues etc. Just because he didn't feel like playing it at one show it doesn't mean he never wants to play it. I think what he wants and what the audience wants are intertwined - there must be some songs he enjoys playing just because of liking playing the song, but he also really enjoys seeing the crowd into it and joining in etc so there's also songs he enjoys playing not so much for the song but for the reaction. I think they play what they want based on a mix of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Testament to the fact that they have no quality control anymore. You think it's "fun". That's nice for you. Quality wise it's not as good as B sides like Too Much Too Soon, Lights Out or Hearts Collide yet they never made albums, weren't played live every night and their lyrics didn't make most fans wince. Meanwhile we have much better songs on this new album not getting played live even once including the song Billie said was HIS favourite. It's like who IS writing the setlist?! I am glad they played Christie Road again last night Youngblood is way better than Hearts Collide :P. Good thing it never made an album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Dude Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 The album has been out for a while now and they've played a lot of new songs. But enough time has passed. I'm starting to accept the fact that we may never hear "Say Goodbye", "Troubled Times", "Outlaws", "Bouncing off the Wall" or "Too Dumb to Die" live. hmm. Also, I wonder if more lyric videos are coming. Everyone on here was doubting the release of all of those, but they just keep on popping up.

I specifically requested Youngblood to spite the Wreck and he plays it every night. Sit down so you're not shocked, they do have to play a lot of the hits to please the general audience. All bands do and especially big ones. A lot people bitch they don't play WMUWSE, 21Guns and god knows what. They can plays more deep-cuts at small shows because more die-hard fans come.

MillenniumFan Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I know this sounds weird, but I think they could give ''Bouncing of the wall'' a try as an opener. If they desperately want a high energy song from first note to last as the opener, then ''Bouncing of the wall'' should do the trick. That being said, I think both RevRad and ''Somewhere Now'' would also do well as openers. To be honest, I dislike KYE as an opener (I feel it does better as the second song or somewhere more in the middle of the setlist), so I'm not sure I'd like ''Bouncing of the Wall'' as an opener that much either, so yeah, I kind of contradict myself...

I am a fan of a lot of bands and have seen so many live I couldn't possibly remember and many of them are bands I have seen more times than GD but none that play essentially the same playlist for years only changing out five or so songs. That's just not the common behaviour at least among the rock bands and even pop bands I go to see. They all have greatest hits too, obviously. Honestly I don't even care at this point, they are clearly not going to change the setlist when they've been doing it for years so this will be my last year going to see them. Hell by the next time they tour the tickets will probably be 800 for a sandwich anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Troubled times has great lyrics and melody, would totally be amazing to hear. Seems like wishful thinking at this point sigh... Yes- EJN would be awesome to hear live. I'm certainly up for Troubled Times, but for me the better choice would be Say Goodbye. It would be an excellent choice! And even though I may be in the minority, I actually like Youngblood and hope they keep it in the set for the August show I'm going to! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hermione Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I don't really have much of a "wishlist" of songs to see. But it's just dawned on me that they've been playing Knowledge and I might see it . Always wanted to because I love songs with special traditions and I've watched tons of videos of it but I kind of dismissed the possibility of seeing it myself years ago because it was no longer part of every show and didn't seem that likely. But now it's on the cards again! Really hoping they play it in London. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St. Jonny Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 I'm thinking they will. They love their crowd interaction songs. Don't know why they don't just do Pasalacqua instead since it's their song and is also three basic chords any fan could play if they can play guitar.

St. Jonny Posted January 28, 2017 Share Posted January 28, 2017 Yeah actually, your right. The fan would have to be good too cause the chords change a specific way, wouldn't want to hear it messed up. But, Pasalaqua instead of Knowledge all together would be cool too.

Yeah, Knowledge isn't something I specifically want to see and I guess they keep it because it's easy enough for fans to play.

Indeed. They aren't expensive compared to other big bands. I wouldn't pay as much for many other bands and I never have but I mostly listen to smaller bands. What most pop artists charge is much more expensive than Green Day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hermione Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Knowledge isn't really a staple though, they generally only do it on the odd leg of a tour or a few shows of a tour every few years. I've never seen it yet and consider it a special treat that they've brought it back! I'd rather they dropped the long, done-to-death and one of 7 AI songs JOS any day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt3BJ Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I would love to hear Walking Contradiction live, it is one of my favorite songs-one of their best music videos, and one of their biggest hits. One of Stay the Night or Nuclear Family also would make my day. I too agree that Brain Stew is one of their weakest songs ever along with Know Your Enemy. I feel it's time for Green Day to have an interwoven medley song where they tease various popular songs not in the regular rotation but songs fans are clamoring to hear. Perhaps this could be a vote put before Idiot Nation a day or two before each show. I have been to various Green Day "secret shows" and have seen them do this before and man was it awesome to hear snippets of songs I never expected to hear live. Of all the songs I would love to hear live at the moment in no particular order are: 1) Who Wrote Holden Caulfield 2. The Devil's Kind 3. Walking Contradiction 4. Nuclear Family 5. Castway 6. Westbound Sign 7. Haushinka 8. Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan Cover) 9. Mother Mary (Foxboro Hot Tubs Song) 10. Suffocate 11. X-kid 12. Midwest Medley 13. Rusty James 14. 21st Century Breakdown 15. Stuck with Me 16. Church On Sunday I truly miss when Green Day would take requests during at least part of the show, and the show wasn't as formulaic. While they are one of the very best live bands on the planet-I miss the thril of truly not knowing what what was next and I feel that was an energy they would feed off. With all of that said-the wear and tear of a massive multi-leg tour is something I will never understand and perhaps sticking to the same or similar setlist is easier on them as I know they like everybody else do get nervous before each and every show. I appreciate Green Day and what they do on a nightly basis. I am really rooting them to look the trilogy square in the eye and hark back to an era and recall that did it exist. I don't want to pontificate about which song would be most appropriate, but man there are some real gems on those records in my opinion. I respect the band and the decisions they make but man would it be killer for some more variety. The only Green Day songs I never have enjoyed to some extent are Brain Stew, Boulevard of Broken Dreams, and A Little Boy named Train. The band has released slightly over 200+ songs in their career to date so I hope I am not coming off some jerk expecting more from this entity that has already given so much but man would this make my day to hear any of these above songs live as they all hold a special meaning to me. Take care everyone, what songs would you enjoy to hear most? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
