Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 833

Fun fact: Patrick Stump wrote that lyric. (It all makes sense now!)

If I were making a setlist adjustment, I would play either Built This Pool or Brohemian immediately after the encore. Have Mark come back on stage, say "You want one more?", crowd cheers, play Built This Pool, fake-out exit, return and play All The Small Things and Dammit to close.

 

Honestly I stopped seeing Blink live shortly before the first break up because of these types of set lists, and the band isn't sounding that great in these videos that get posted. I really don't think Skiba works on the Tom songs.

 

To each their own. I've only seen blink post reunion sadly, and I've liked Skiba on the videos I've seen (only watched firefly performance for three songs for a taste don't want to ruin the concert for me)

 

I can't see any reason to continue opening with Feeling This into WMAA? and Rock Show as they have done for ages, with the album hitting number one they should open with Cynical and maybe even Bored To Death straight in too then hit a few older hits. If they're determined to not be a nostalgia act I feel they should really think about shaking it up else they only have themselves to blame if they are seen that way going forward.

 

Cynical into feeling this is my wish lol

 

I really wasn't big on No Future before the album dropped but it's become a song I really enjoy after listening to the album several times. I seriously have that chorus in my head constantly.

 

Just bought tickets for their Cincinnati show in August. This will be my first blink concert ever and I've been a fan for 18+ years. Should have happened sooner, but here we are, and here we go...

 

I'm going to the Nashville one in August. I can't wait and it's my third time lol, I remember the first I was ecstatic

 

This will be my 10th time seeing them live...I am beyond stoked to hear them with Matt!

 

I feel like this has been stated dozens of times by now, but the "California" tour doesn't begin until July 21st in San Diego. They've made it abundantly clear that they will be playing a different set list once the tour officially starts.

 

How is the Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View, CA? I'm thinking of flying out there in late September and was thinking of getting tickets for my sister and I

 

That's too bad you never saw them when they all liked each other. Those old concerts with Mark and Tom going back and forth making fun or each other and making stupid jokes were the best. It was pure entertainment. Sure musically they weren't great (never were) but you always got your money's worth and left feeling happy. The 2 concerts I saw them post reunion it always seemed like, sorry for using this line, "Tom doesn't want to be there", no joking between songs etc.

 

Yeah I wish I had, I've seen videos of the banter and love it. But I've enjoyed what I got

 

the set was probably similar to this one:
blink‐182 Setlist at Coors Amphitheatre, Chula Vista

 

Yes, but it's unreasonable to expect wholesale changes. Mark's gone on record that he doesn't think they should play for longer than 90 minutes, which doesn't really leave that much time to rotate in new songs. The setlist likely won't change as much as you're thinking it will.

 

yeah it was pretty similar to that one. I remember not loving the setlist at all. I think I only got hyped for dammit and carousel. Not sure if they played Adams Song or if they did it probably wasn't my favorite blink song back then as it is now.

Also the best thing about that show was Midtown opened for them and they were amazing! Bought their album and became a fan ever since.

 

We shall see. I'm honestly fine with the set list, as long as we get 2-3 new songs I'm good

 

Sounds like you saw them on the Pop Tour Disaster with Green Day no?

That was a great tour.

 

Way too many comments on this video about how blink is "school shooter" music... News to me? Lol ugh.

 

I would have seen them sooner, but up until about nine years ago I was a broke college student that would only pay for smaller club shows for whoever was touring. Then kids and other excuses got in the way. So, I gladly dropped $80 for decent seats this time around.

 

Yeah I mean I enjoyed the shows I've seen them post reunion but they were just different you know? The first show I saw them after the reunion for the Neighborhoods tour they joked around a few times and had a long back and forth because Tom slipped and fell on stage playing What's My Age Again. The second time I saw them in September of 2013, I think they joked with each other 1 time the whole show, it was just odd. Especially since it was just before they started the 10 Year Tour for Untitled and at least in the press seemed like they were all on the same page and were getting ready to rent a house to record.

 

I was in that boat too until recently. Hell the first time I saw them I only did 20.00 lawn seats for the 2009 reunion lol. Second time (2011) I dropped $100 for seats and my gf. That was my plan for this one too, until my boss stepped in and wanted to thank me so he got us pit and everything's gonna be fine package. So I keep upgrading as I get older apparently lol

 

People are so ignorant these days. Best to stay away from YouTube comments entirely

 

"yall cant jus listen to straight rap shit all the time, you gotta throw in some variety at some point. Blink 182's "What's my Age Again?" is a banger. Y'all sleepin on punk and rock and shit, gives me some good reckless ass vibes."

This one made me smile though.

 

Yeah when I saw them in 09 they were joking a lot(mainly about how cold September in Cleveland Ohio is) but then 11 they barely did except to joke about filming the hearts all gone video in Atlanta and to not tell the other cities we got to hear the song twice cause they'd be jealous lol
