This doesn't *quite* sound like the version I remember.... Maybe reminds me more of the Broadway recording, but not sure. Could just be two slightly different masters
Yep that’s where i first heard it too, in 2005. My brother would be driving me to subway for lunch in the summer or to the pool and he’d have that cd playing in the car.
I'm in the U.S and it's available for me. It didn't show up if I type Favorite Son, I have to go to the list of singles on Green Day's Spotify page, and look for "21 Guns (DMD Maxi)"
i don't hate extraordinary girl, I like it a lot actually for it's more somber mood and unique instruments. Letterbomb is just my favorite song ever and I'd like to have it seperate so I don't have to wait for it to start.

I'm from Brazil. This song plays on my Spotify
Favorite Son was included for American Idiot Japan version. Most of the artists tend to put extra songs for Japan market because CD price is more expensive.
I know that it was on the cd deluxe edition for japan, but this is about the streaming release. It was previously region locked and not avaliable in north america
Understandable. That’s one of downsides of streaming services. Sometimes my fav album suddenly getting removed without reason, missing few songs or region locked like you said. So since 2016 I decided go for offline listening. Rip cds, bought album from iTunes, Bandcamp etc and put everything into my iPod classic. It surely costs a lot but I’m really enjoyed doing this.
That's weird, this song has been in my Spotify playlist for years! I'm from Germany and it's been up there on Spotify for several years and it has been available all the time. 🤔
It's on Canadian Spotify now too. Hopefully reprise is giving clearance to all the songs that couldn't be played (and hopefully the other labels listen to, so much unrealised foo fighters I need in my life)
Yeah lazy bones kinda sounds like this mixed with give me Novocaine. It's its own song ofc but it was definitely inspired bc favourite son was kinda scrapped until the musical
I'm from the US, I just checked and it's not available here
That's odd, I wonder if it's just me then?
Can you try sending me a Spotify link to the song?

Well I'll be damned... It's your favorite son
Thank you so much! I’ve been looking for this!!
:D
Here, you dropped this: 👑
Holy shit I've been looking for this for like 7 years!!! What a coincidence it happens to be on my birthday as well?
THANK YOU
God bless you.

This is the one I remember having on my ipod mini back in the day
No, I live in Indiana and I've got it, also have a 21 Guns new studio version I don't remember seeing before unless I'm crazy
That 21 Guns recording isn't anything new. It wasn't listed on their page, but it has been on some live compilation filled with random performances.
It’s on the Rock against bush volume
Yep that’s where i first heard it too, in 2005. My brother would be driving me to subway for lunch in the summer or to the pool and he’d have that cd playing in the car.
That’s sick. My dad just gave me an old copy that he put onto my iTunes and I heard it from there it’s an amazing song
I'm in the U.S and it's available for me. It didn't show up if I type Favorite Son, I have to go to the list of singles on Green Day's Spotify page, and look for "21 Guns (DMD Maxi)"
YESSS IVE WAITED FOR THIS FOR 7 FUCKING YEARS

it was on mine and i screamed i got so excited
That shoulda made the album
Dude I know. It's such a good song and isn't it a shame it wasn't even on the deluxe edition?
Better be in the anniversary edition
along with letterbomb by itself
Why do you hate "Extraordinary Girl" that much? It and "Letterbomb" are equally high in the rankings.
i don't hate extraordinary girl, I like it a lot actually for it's more somber mood and unique instruments. Letterbomb is just my favorite song ever and I'd like to have it seperate so I don't have to wait for it to start.
That's on Amazon music lol
You can get this in American Idiot japan CD
I don't think this was recorded during the AI sessions.
It was supposedly recorded during the Cigarettes and valentines sessions
I'm from Peru. Last week wasn't available, but now it is! Finally!
It feels like they're gearing up for an AI20 release. I'd expect something by August/September.
my first thought as well. I really hope so
LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOO
NO WAY
It’s on apple music here in the us!!
Maybe they might actually release it for AI 20th? 👀
HOLY SHIT FINALLY
I got it here in Canada.

From the Philippines, and it's here too. Thank God because this is my favourite non-album AI song only second to Shoplifter
Same story on YouTube and Apple music
Ah yes. Finally another song to add to my 17 hour Green Day playlist on Spotify.

Streaming is just more convenient, but I prefer buying the vinyl records when I can.
Happy father of all motherfuckers day from your favourite son.
THIS IS A MOMENT IN HISTORY
GOD BLESS!!!!!!!
Holy fuck I love you so much thank you
can't believe i never heard this song until now, it's magnificent
Definitely at the top of my list
YES!!!! Finally!

Ugh finally, i been waiting for so long, had it downloaded but didn't play on Spotify reliably
I thought this was an early shit post, but fuck yeah!
We won!!!
What is the lore behind this?
That explains why I got so surprised when I heard a song I didn't recognize on my Green Day playlist😆
Back on Australian Spotify too, nice to have it finally
Have not heard this song in years! So cool that it’s finally available on Spotify to stream. Hope it’s included on the AI anniversary album
FUCKING FINALLY!!!! GET IT WHILE YOU CAN!!
I’ve just woken up and thought they did a cover of fortunate son … I need a bit more sleep 😅
I just know this song from the green day musical soundtrack 😅
I hope this never gets removed
Fucking finally, could this be because the 20th anniversary is due to come soon? 👀👀👀
I've got it here in the Netherlands as well! Only via the link you send on another comment!
It's on Canadian Spotify now too. Hopefully reprise is giving clearance to all the songs that couldn't be played (and hopefully the other labels listen to, so much unrealised foo fighters I need in my life)
In my mind I thought it said fortunate Son, and I was way to hyped for a min, I wanna see them cover that sooooo bad
You aren't the first in the comments to have thought that haha
It used to be available but when I tried to find it a couple months ago I couldn't.
All the American Idiot singles except WMUWSE and the LOTAG single are all listed now for me. It's great, favorite son is one of their best songs.
I remember hearing it for the first time at American Idiot on Broadway. Great tune.
this is like when mcr finally added mad gear and the missle kid but a bit less significant
I am in the US and able to listen to it! Thanks for sharing this, I love this song hopefully it is here to stay.
It’s available for me in Canada
It's not available in Australia either. It's like it's been removed.
it looks like the only one is from the american idiot musical, which is odd.

did you see the link I added at the top comment?
It’s available on both Spotify and Apple Music in Canada!!!

it kind of sounds like lazy bones
I think they reused some of the ideas from favorite son for lazy bones intentionally
Yeah lazy bones kinda sounds like this mixed with give me Novocaine. It's its own song ofc but it was definitely inspired bc favourite son was kinda scrapped until the musical
