blink-182 Band • Page 213

Turnstile playing the lawn

 

spotted in South America. I really like this logo.

 

Feels like it could be easily photoshopped, but I won’t completely dismiss the validity

 

I hope they market the shit outta this tour to the point my mom messages me on FB saying: “hey I saw that band you had me play every car ride from 1999-2005 is back!”

 

I hope they open the shows up with When I Was Young, but it’ll 100% be Feeling This, followed by Rock Show, Then WMAA. Same old setlist probably haha.

 

Even if they don’t do Untitled in full, I’m really hoping they bring Obvious back into the set list.

 

I'm honestly more excited this time around because Reunion #1 in hindsight felt forced and awkward. We were all super excited to see them back together, but the reality is, it was like a couple getting back together without really addressing why they broke up in the first place.

I like to think that if they are getting back together for another reunion, this time these things have been properly discussed & the expectations have been clearly laid out.

 

This thought crossed my mind too. I would be surprised if there wasn’t an exclusive interview ready to be posted.

 

Last time they reunited the big interview was in Alternative Press and it def felt kinda awkward

Hopefully Mark has learned and isn't putting all his eggs in Tom's wicker basket unless he's ready for blink to be part time

 

Has anyone floated the idea of this being reunion & farewell tour?

- Do we know the status of Mark's long term health?
- What are Tom's priorities with A&A/aliens
- Travis priorities with other music/his label

 

Literally the first moment of them publically back together told us everything we needed to know about how it would go. So awkward.

 

No chance this is a farewell tour

 

If Matt isn't currently in he will be when Tom ditches again and Mark still wants to do blink for the next 10 years

 

I hope we get a single right away when they announce

 

Enema is the quintessential summer album for me. The untitled record, kind of works at any period in the year. Listening to it right now with the leaves slowly changing and it’s chilly outside … kinda working for fall.

 

Untitled has always been my go-to fall Blink album. Dude Ranch thru TOYPAJ is summer. But really, I listen to everything all year long. Nine is great all year.

And I sprinkle select songs from Cheshire, Neighborhoods, DED, and California around here and there.

 

Same. Non-stop on repeat on a family road trip to San Diego… and my middle school girlfriend breaking up with me right before.

 

The few years after it came out Neighborhoods was really a main fall record. It just lost it's luster for me over time

Untitled has mostly felt suited for fall if I had to choose but it's definitely an anytime record. Dude Ranch anytime too really, Enema has kind of become a summer only album to me. Dude, Untitled, and Nine are really my main rotation at this point

 

Untitled will always be a Fall/Winter album for me.

I remember the DJ playing Always at our High School Christmas dance lol.

 

Revisiting DED. Amazing EP front to back (smashmouth ripoff / Yelawolf feature and all.) I would prefer more of this, get in a room and write without unreasonable expectations, than mega-label pressure huge rollout madness. My definitive holiday play for Blink. I am a big fan of holiday songs that are barely holiday themed.

California is my Summer Blink album. I moved across the country that summer and had it on repeat.

+44 is my dead of winter album

Untitled fits best for me in Spring when the weather could be wildly different from day to day but summer is coming. I Empire is a good Spring record for me too.

Fall gets a lot of Neighborhoods love.

 

Maybe a spicy take, but I would take Untitled-NINE over Early Blink to TOYPAJ. It is very rare I play early blink front to back. I come back to the later stuff often.

 

Enema is the GOAT blink-182 record

 

Same here! They were in Portland twice in a three month span. June 22nd was opening for Third Eye Blind and Oct 2nd opening for My Chemical Romance. I will most likely never see them again on a headlining tour of their own as it’s just not what it once was with them. Band sounds great live, but Adam’s vocals are very hit and miss. They need to play their older material in a lower key permanently.

 

Eh, this is mostly true for me as well. But I think it’s because I overplayed the hell out of Cheshire through TOYPAJ as a kid. Enema might be the definitive blink record, but I hardly ever go back to it because it was the first one I ever had and made myself sick of it lol.
