Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 789

I love in that video by that littleredguitars guy he's just like "guys I even left a comment" like oh damn dude I didn't realize your life had been ruined THAT bad oh shit haha

He laments they didn't record this like Untitled. Like guy, if the requirement to please a fanbase is sequestering yourself in a house for a year, do you know how many bands there would be? Fucking ZERO. Cause everyone would go insane

He says fan of twenty years, so by my math Enema was his first album. Convenient to ignore they did that one in two weeks huh?

 

I'm sad to be missing this tour buuuut I also looked at pricing and it makes me feel a little better, lol

 

Haha, he's not even a real fan if Enema was his first album...

I kid, I kid. But I do remember when people would say things like that in '99.

 

For a song i referred to as overall boring just 24 hours ago, I’ve come around to the whole song and have been really enjoying it with more listens. Not that I didn’t like it, but I guess I just wanted/was expecting something faster or explosive for a first single.

Probably didn’t help that I was in flash flood thunderstorms when I first heard it, then the beautiful sunny weather graced me with it’s presence and it just clicked for me

 

I just brush off all of the non sense that's on the internet. I frankly don't care what others think, I won't let the racist stuff fly but the silly stuff sure, it's whatever. Like I genuinely love this thread and all of you guys are awesome, but why harp on the stupid negative takes from people ? You guys are giving them what they want, they want people to see and talk about that shitty, negative take.

 

Yeah I had to stop reading all of that shit. I got a good laugh at Mark's tweets though. "Who wanna get blocked?"

 

The people harassing the band on their social medias really need to get a life. They're making us real fans look bad.

 

How bad were the prices ?

 

Yeah same here. Unfortunately I can't go to my scheduled show but just looking at the prices for tickets in the areas that I used to sit in the past it's over $160 bucks after fees per ticket. Last blink concert I went to in 2016 I was able to get two tickets in the same spot for $20 less after fees.

 

Get Mark in this thread so we can praise him.

 

The very back row for the venue in Tampa is over $100 before fees. This is ridiculous. Even lawn is going to be well over $50.

 

First day radio numbers. I'll be curious to see what it looks like from a week from now. If radio support is slower than they want, I could see them dropping another song pretty quick.

Top 50 on Alternative:

0 47 BLINK-182 Blame It On My Youth 202 0 202 1.423

Top 50 on Active:

0 48 BLINK-182 Blame It On My Youth 68 0 68 0.469

 

If lawn is 50 bucks or more I will absolutely check out on this tour.

 

Tweet and let him know we're here for him.

 

First impressions were kind of ruined by having my first listen on the HomePod - not sure why but it sounded so muddled.

Gave it a proper listen in the car and now I’m liking it.

 

How do guys interpret ”Im the ink and you’re the headline”? Like doing something and someone else gets the praise (headlines) for it? Or is it a dig at media?

Either way i love that line.

 

I went on the pre sale to buy lawn tickets, they are 37.50 per ticket before fees. 109.00 bucks for two tickets after fees. Unbelievable.

 

Absolutely ridiculous that the 100 sections are all Lil Wayne VIP ($203-$273) or Live Nation Premium ($165-$256). Annoying on top of there being no pit option.

Tickets should be $37-$127 without any of those special tier pricing.

 

I guess that doesn't surprise me, it's two big artists. It's like right on the edge of do I want to or not though haha. Guess I'll see.

 

Same basically. Klipsch computer speakers first, lowish volume, seemed muddled. Then listened in car with good speakers with a better soundstage and it sounded great.

 

Like I wouldn't have an issue with the fees if that money went to the artist, but it doesn't.

 

I won’t be going to the tour either and those prices definitely make me feel way better about it. I’d rather spend the money on a nice pre-order bundle.

 

These shows will obviously sell out, but I don't think they will sell out at a fast rate.

 

Yeah think that's how I'm leaning

 

I saved up $200 for tickets but then this tour didn’t come to my city. I’m looking it as more money to preorder the new album now
