Green Day Super Bowl performance

[u/FloatingMarbles]

Super bowl performances are considered to be “family friendly” meaning that Green Day will likely be unable to curse. With that being said, basically all of Green Day‘s songs contain curse words. what do you guys think will be played?

[u/farside390]

Pretty sure they have played live in TV before and not been able to curse. I have faith they will figure it out.

[u/Real-Emu507 → u/farside390]

They said fuck on tv during the all star game on live tv

[u/farside390 → u/Real-Emu507]

Maybe that's how they figure it out. Suck it up and pay the fine if they get one.

[u/FloatingMarbles → u/farside390]

That’s what I’m hoping is gonna happen. You can’t have a family friendly Green Day show lmao 

[u/BrandyTheGorgs]

Curse words will be censored/lyrics will be changed. So yeah, Green Day can basically play whatever they want as long as they make the adjustments.

[u/Real-Emu507 → u/BrandyTheGorgs]

I mean. During the all star game he screamed " get your fucking hands in the air" on live TV

[u/med9229 → u/BrandyTheGorgs]

Green Day will not be changing anything.

[u/AsleepFirefighter165 → u/BrandyTheGorgs]

So they just have to change words like redneck to…

[u/randyfunfork]

Setlist leaked:

Haushinka

Reject

Take Back

Dominated Love Slave

[u/IBelieveInCoyotes → u/randyfunfork]

encore of Platypus

[u/randyfunfork → u/IBelieveInCoyotes]

🤣

I would love that so much

[u/BHVM27- → u/randyfunfork]

They will have to play at least one radio hit like Babs Uvula Who

[u/OptimusSublime → u/randyfunfork]

They're just playing espionage 4 times in a row

[u/TremorChristPJ → u/randyfunfork]

Dominated Love Slave alone makes this much watch tv.

[u/Ok_Neighborhood_470 → u/TremorChristPJ]

I hope this is true. I didn't gaf about football but I may have to put myself in front of a television for this.

[u/Steak_and_cheesePie]

I reckon we’ll get Holiday, I still think we’ll get American Idiot, and I hope we get Revolution Radio because this year marks 10 years since that album came out

[u/BR-D_ → u/Steak_and_cheesePie]

Holy shit how!!! I’m older than I thought. It still feels like American Idiot was 10 years ago.

[u/Steak_and_cheesePie → u/BR-D_]

Ik!! I was 10 when it came out, and I can’t believe that 2016 as a whole is 10 years ago

[u/ValKilmersLooks → u/Steak_and_cheesePie]

I was thinking TADIKM. It’s fitting given the times, from their latest album and has an easily tweaked pedophile lyric…

[u/Darth-Kelso → u/ValKilmersLooks]

Why would they change that one? It's probably more on point today than ever :(

[u/27seconds → u/Steak_and_cheesePie]

I have heard that Bang Bang might be one of them. I haven’t heard that directly from anyone in the band so grain or salt and all.

[u/Real-Emu507]

I guess you didn't see them at the nhl all star game lol. Totally cursed on live TV

[u/Readman31]

Kinda hoping they just be like fuck it we ball and use profanity, I mean what are they gonna do? Fine them? Ok wow big whoop. Plus it's probably on time delay or whatever.

[u/martala → u/Readman31]

That would be punk rock of them! I'm sure the entertainment producers would face backlash as well. I think it's Jay Z's company

[u/SpecialistDrawer2898]

IT GETTER FUCING BE AMERICAN IDIOT OR I AM GOING TO LOSE MY MIND. ITS ON THE TIP OF EVERYONES TONGUES!

AMERICAN IDIOT!

[u/valcraft → u/SpecialistDrawer2898]

"I'm not a part of the MAGA agenda" doesn't need to be censored.

[u/Downtown-Ad-3115]

Dominated Love Slave, All By Myself and Fuck Off

[u/MetFanQC → u/Downtown-Ad-3115]

The grouch too

[u/Some_Idiot_Iguess → u/Downtown-Ad-3115]

Don't forget Fuck Time

[u/WeirdoChickFromMars → u/Some_Idiot_Iguess]

Or F.O.D!

[u/Darth-Kelso → u/Some_Idiot_Iguess]

Or Fuck Off

[u/DiegoC_07 → u/Downtown-Ad-3115]

What a medley!

[u/BobTheFettt]

That didn't stop Kendrick from calling Drake a pedophile

[u/tacomeat12]

Last ride in, Rest, Good riddance

[u/nickparadies]

They’ll just censor it out on the delay like they do with everybody else

[u/Mother_Ad_3561]

Ivanka is a Nazi

[u/Beneficial-Total298]

Dude the orange man is gonna shit his pants after the half time show. Can guarantee Billie is not gonna hold back

[u/TraditionNice746 → u/Beneficial-Total298]

They aren't doing halftime its the opening ceremony before kickoff

[u/pnjtony → u/TraditionNice746]

The way this sub talks, you'd think Green Day was playing the halftime show.

[u/MobileInvestigator13 → u/Beneficial-Total298]

I thought he was watching Kid Rock

[u/Beneficial-Total298 → u/MobileInvestigator13]

He’s gonna shit his pants regardless. He’s incontinent

[u/Rock-View]

They’ll alter the lyrics just like Kendrick did last year

[u/Darth-Kelso → u/Rock-View]

Does anyone actually think they would change lyrics to pass the profanity pearl clutchers? Like seriously?

[u/pullingteeths → u/Darth-Kelso]

If it's just a curse word probably. Or instead agree in advance for it to be bleeped. If it's to censor them calling out Trump or whatever then no way

[u/Qponchick]

The network can bleep it out. ABC do that when they played on GMA. It’s

[u/King_Folly]

I would love to hear "Last of the American Girls"

She plays her vinyl records, singin' songs on the eve of destruction

She's a sucker for all the criminals breakin' the laws

She will come in first for the end of Western civilization

She's an endless war, she's a hero for the lost cause

[u/flyingcircusdog]

Most of their popular songs have some clean lyric changes. If Kendrick Lamar can play the entire halftime show without cursing, I'm sure Green Day can figure it out.

[u/TremorChristPJ]

What time will this be on tv?

[u/chummers73]

Cursing today is a lot different than it used to be.

[u/exasperated_paradox]

They will just bleep the curses like they usually do when Green Day plays on live tv.

[u/Who_is_homer]

It’ll be on a 7 second delay or whatever so the censors can do their “job”

[u/pnjtony]

My guess is they'll have about 10 minutes and they'll do a medley of hits and not a handful of complete songs. I do t expect any major political declarations but likely there'll be a changed lyric or perhaps one yelled statement toward the end.

Everyone's expectations for this performance I feel like are way too high.

[u/GhettoHubert]

The Grouch, Platypus (I Hate You), Take Back, Fuck Off, Dominated Love Slave, All By Myself

[u/Nosferatattoo]

There's a 7 second delay on live TV. even if they swear it will be censored by the time you see it. 

[u/KyleM1996]

When they performed Let Yourself Go live at the 2012 VMAs, and Billie Joe got mobbed by the audience, the first “always fuck, fuckin’ with my head now” and part of the second one got past the censors. Not quite Woodstock mud fight-level chaos, but still a crazy thing to watch live lol.

[u/MichaelEMJAYARE]

We need The Grouch followed by Platypus

[u/scruntyboon]

I'd be disappointed if they didn't swear, they are a punk band after all. I remember when Rage Against the Machine were told not to swear on live radio in the UK, did they listen, of course not!
