[@matthewforsythe9582]

So poetic billie forgetting the chord at the start when playing a song about forgetting someones name

[@DiegoSandovalLopez4579]

That someone is call Amanda The exgirlfriend he inspired Many songs

[@SomeKidFoundtheInternet__888]

[@kurokoro8615]

[@Fauntleroy.]

I love them so much. I can't believe I'll get to hear these songs live this summer.

[@thomasgriffith5544]

On my way too!! So hyped

[@stellachhx]

Same here!!! Been waiting 13 years for this moment!

[@alexepena]

Same 😢

[@danielnizam1642]

This is maybe the first time any of the green day guitarists play the riff before the solo live. They always using stock sound before.

[@rckrckrck]

Also noticed that…

[@finkclass13]

yeap, the only backing track that had a comeback the last tour is from Bldv of Broken Dreams

[@DSC24]

ever since they brought this song back at the metro in 2022, Jason plays it everytime.

[@DiegoSandovalLopez4579]

YES My favorite song :,) The feeling of Sadness for Billie for remember a Amanda (She) his exgirlfriend inspired Many Songs of Green Day

[@greendayfan7260]

Love mikes blue bass. So cool. ❤.

[@PhilipDavies62]

I don't know why, this song makes me cry.

[@Fel1xF7W]

because its a sad song

[@BrandonJames-et7lr]

Favorite off of AI

[@GetLostwithRossElliott]

Top three GD song for me!

[@iron___]

Learning they were playing the entire American Idiot and Dookie albums, including this track, was the decider in me going to a show on this tour. So expensive, but gonna be worth every penny.

[@thomasgriffith5544]

How much your tickets? I’m going and I’m so excited, also paying a nice cost… lmao I’ve listened since I was a kid and I was actually hoping they would tour and there they did, so I’m not missing it! What state you going to?

[@leonardoritzel]

I'm so happy right now

[@owens3427]

Chord progression is definitely reminiscent of, “One Headlight” by The Wallflowers.

[@PirateXandarrr]

This is my favorite chord progression actually, it definitely has an early 2000s feel to it

[@farhanmuzakki7246]

Thought I ran into you down on the street Then it turned out to only be a dream I made a point to burn all of the photographs She went away, and then I took a different path I remember the face, but I can't recall the name Now I wonder how Whatsername has been Seems that she disappeared without a trace Did she ever marry ol' Whatshisface? I made a point to burn all of the photographs She went away, and then I took a different path I remember the face, but I can't recall the name Now I wonder how Whatsername has been Remember Whatever It seems like forever ago Remember Whatever It seems like forever ago the regrets (Whatever) are useless in my mind (It seems like forever ago) she's in my head, I must confess (Remember) the regrets (Whatever) are useless in my mind (It seems like forever ago) she's in my head, so long ago Go, go, go, go Go, go, go, go, go And in the darkest night If my memory serves me right I'll never turn back time Forgetting you, but not the time

[@Sk8fran]

I think they need to rehearse a little more, they should be confident having played them so much in the past

[@Bisonrulz16]

I wouldn't say they've played them so much, they played it 3 times in the last 3 years, and before that it hadn't been played since 2010. I think you can forgive the rust.

[@khiobi1687]

This song has historically been pretty rough for Billie to play live. If you look at the other performances of the song, he looks like he's about to break down and you can hear his voice crack throughout

[@M1NTY_75]

Idk why you skipped it in the beginning 🤦

[@alajadarrenflores1550]

is he on dropped tune?

[@s1storm]

Drop D

[@v-g-z3689]

Just take a moment and think about how little this band has changed in the last 20 years. Jasons hair is a little greyer now, Billie isn't wearing eyeliner anymore, Tré has a fiew more pounds on him. That´s all kinda... nothing.

[@robertsole9970]

Seem to be playing it at 3/4 tempo

[@SomeKidFoundtheInternet__888]

I told them to take their aging pills I can’t believe they forgot again 😔

[@widz_Fpv]

Recall the name

[@markraynor8142]

Dilemma and Whatsername sound alike

[@vjamesd]

Don’t get me wrong they’re definitely the best band I myself have heard live, and by faaaaar my favorite but why does Whatsername seem so difficult to play live? Wrong chords and the solo missing, lead guitar missing some cues, I know it’s probably the deepest cut on AI other than extraordinary girl but it might be their easiest song to play outside of the solo. I’m not hating at all I just notice it in every live performance outside of their live debut at storytellers in 2004/5. Still very grateful they’ve been playing it though and they’ve definitely fixed the tempo since they started adding it to sets

[@PintsofGuinness]

they dont have many songs in drop D so that might be part of it

[@vjamesd]

@@PintsofGuinness that’s likely. hoping Billie already has a guitar just tuned in drop D in the back for this summer since they’re def gonna be playing Dilemma

[@moralstheband6180]

They have played this song very few times live to my knowledge. So they probably just haven't rehearsed it quite as much. It's an old song. They sure as hell will be rehearsing these for, and during the tour, though, lol!

[@vjamesd]

@@moralstheband6180 you’re right, in between the release of AI and 2023 you could probably count on one hand how many times they’ve played it. I believe they’ve played it like 3,4 times since 2023 so they’re getting a feel for it again. And for sure, I can’t wait! I’ll be in the Toronto pit

[@moralstheband6180]

@@vjamesd Nice, man! I'll be there in DC! Have fun at your show! Have you seen them? It'll be my 5th time.
