blink-182 / A Day To Remember / All Time Low / The All-American Rejects / DJ Spider Tour • Page 38

I bought one at the VA beach date and it was $30. Also most tees were $30 but ADTR and Blink had a baseball like tour shirt for $45.

 

My show was Saturday and easily one of the best of the summer. All 3 bands killed it. One of my favorite Mark jokes of the night: "This is a sad one, imagine Jimmy Eat World and Taking Back Sunday had a baby that was The Used"

 

I am bummed that San Diego has become a permanent fixture instead of a rotating slot, and even more bummed that they didn't axe Kings of the Weekend and make a rotating slot there. I just really want No Future.

 

I like San Diego a lot more than No Future on the album, but I think No Future sounds like more fun live.

 

I get to see them in 2 days. I can barely focus at work I am so excited today.

 

Ended up checking out the Mansfield date and had a blast.

Loved Blinks set, wished ADTR's was longer.

Matt Skiba was great, though deep down I'd be lying if I didn't wish it was Tom.

I do have to say, my 5th time seeing ADTR, some might consider that a lot or average. I'm just a little bored with the same old constant banter on stage from Jeremy so it seems like I"m seeing a repetitive set everytime, and we are talking years apart.

Common things he says on stage:

"I need to see a lot of crowd participation on this one"

"Circle pit, you know what to do, boys, you don't have to participate, just kindly fuck off"

"Lets show them how it's done, boys"

"Here we go, boys!"

I guess I never realized until now how "bro" he is. Also noticed how no one else in the band every really says anything on stage.

I know this sounds as a negative post, but they are like my number 2 band lol. These are just some things I took away.

 

Saw this in Toronto last night

- Loved the DJ that opened. Great set.
- All Time Low sounded awful; they should fire whoever was doing audio for them last night
- Every joke ATL told last night I've heard blink say before
- I thought ADTR was a strange choice as main support on an arena tour and they did nothing to change my mind during their set
- The people on the floor seemed into ADTR but can't imagine that energy carried into the seats
- Blink sounded great but their set was way too short (1 hour 20 min)
- Somehow ended up right up against the barrier for the last hour of blink's set and had an amazing time

 

I was in the seats and I was singing along and enjoying myself during ADTR but a lot of others around me were kinda just watching and nodding along it seemed; they sounded great but I'd love to see them in a club setting again

 

In West Palm Beach, ADTR played a little bit of Champagne Supernova when they broke out the acoustic guitars

 

My date is on Thursday! Getting pretty excited.

 

Tonight's show poster by #WalterPinkman - Look for a local tour poster for your city at the merch booth!

 

Oof, will not be buying that poster tonight, haha.

 

Haha I actually like that design

 

i think that poster is amazing

 

Do kids today even know who Bat Boy is? I remember him from when I was little, but I have no idea if younger Blink fans would even get the reference.

 

I'm 25, and I have no idea.

 

I'm 30 and I have no idea.

 

Really? I'm 29 and I remember seeing him often when my mom would take me grocery shopping with her.

Bat Boy (character) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

 

Blink was amazing last night, pit ticket was so worth it. My only complaint is Los Angeles and Kings/Weekend need to be swapped for....literally anything else. Possibly my 2 least favorite Blink songs.

Also 1.5 hours to exit the parking lot, that was cool.

 

Los Angeles has the potential to be a massive song for them. That song will be around for awhile.

 

Los Angeles is one of my favorite off the new album.

 

You're not alone. I turn 26 next week and definitely remember seeing him on the cover of Weekly World News quite often in my early childhood when in the checkout lines with my parents. It's an obscure reference for sure, but I bet there's a decent amount of people in blink's fanbase who have that same vague memory buried in their brains.

Although it turns out Weekly World News halted production in 2007 so it won't be long until kids have no chance of remembering him haha

EDIT: I stand corrected. It still exists as an online only publication.

 

Today is the day! I'm heading up to the venue in about 2 hours.

 

Just met Blink at the Scranton show. They are way too funny. Mark is apparently team mystic lmao. Looking forward to the show

 

Here in the pit, so excited
