Green Day Band • Page 191

i still believe that 'panic song' it the best song on insomniac, slightly above an album full of contenders.

it's the antithesis to almost every green day song up to that point. usually you hear lyrics from bllie no later than 15 seconds into the track. here, you get almost an instrumental track before actually blasting through the lyrics in the last minute or so. blew. my. mind.

 

Also it’s the only Green Day song that was written specifically for guys on little motorcycles riding around the inside of a sphere cage.

 

Absolutely. This, the back half of Chump and the extended bridge on Welcome To Paradise are all brilliant instrumental moments.

 

We’re talking Insomniac and nobody mentions Brat or Walking Contradiction?

Is that the click track?

edit: actually, I think what I’m hearing is the kick drum. Not sure why it sounds the way it does.

 

Yeah, the kick drum in this mix is wild lol

 

Their post-Warning hits + the Pink song had me worried about the setlist but everything since has me moshing in my living room.

 

They fixed it eventually.

 

Good call out. I'd gone back to watch Jimmy Eat World's set because it was so grating lol

 

"Runnin' away from pain like the kids in Palestine". Hot damn, Billie Joe.

 

Super-Soldier-Serum-injected Chris Carabba was wild. Are the fan thing pre-planned/vetted before they go up?

 

Idk if it's different at Coachella, but I've been to shows where they've pulled people on stage who definitely don't know how to play power chords to play Know Your Enemy.

 

I honestly think that was one of the best performances of their career last night

 

was it? I watched, it was pretty typical fare for them. Maybe in terms of scale this and Milton Keynes but not sure how this would be the best

 

Their best performance if only because of how close Billy Joe got to untying that dude’s bandana.

 

Maybe just my hype talking but they sounded amazing, the setlist was basically perfect, the stage production, the huge scale and amount of potential new people they may have been playing in front of (both in person and on the stream), the Palestine shout... loved it

 

Yeah, it was a really great performance.

 

Probably me being nostalgic but Green Day’s best performance was Woodstock 1994 and probably was their most important performance.

 

No last night’s was duh

 

I didn't say it was THE best lol

 

Green Day's best performance was Irving Plaza in 2012

 

Dear Lord. Tracks 20 through 31 of the setlist is something to behold. And not a single Dookie or American Idiot track in that run. Wow.
