blink-182 Band • Page 1237

OMG I had no idea he was the laptop in the van dude. That story is fucked up.

 

It's 100% When I look back https://reddit.com/r/Blink182/s/9dTopc2crU

Weird how official lyric videos and sheets be so off. Shouldn't they have come directly from the band? lol. Mark said on discord they were wrong too.

 

Sat in bed and my head's still ringing. Blink were absolutely amazing tonight. Extremely grateful I got to see them live in their reformed trio. Managed to get good position and they were almost in arms reach. Easily one of the best shows I've been to.

Agree with comments further up, TSSF didn't sound great. I did momentarily wonder if it was just poor sound quality where we were stood, thinking maybe the speakers were weird. Stood further back and central and they still sounded poop. Couldn't hear a word Parker was saying.

 

Might be in the minority here but I would’ve loved to have seen TSSF open for blink. I would’ve freaked out.

That being said, I ended up becoming obsessed with White Reaper and Turnstile after my shows in May, so it’s great that happened.

 

Just after Under Soil and Dirt came out, I got to see TSSF headline a tiny free show to promote Bamboozle. Tiny little place. Stage about a foot off the ground. Basically played in the crowd. And it was one of the most hype shows I’ve ever been too.

Seen them like 4 times since then and they’ve never come even remotely close to that energy. Always come away somewhat disappointed.

 

Jason we still thinking less then California in terms of sales?

 

Does anyone else in this thread feel that Tom is a decent sized omission on Rolling Stone's 250 greatest guitarists ever list?

 

Hard to say. He inspired so many kids to pick up guitar (including me!), and his parts are creative, but I don’t know that he’s necessarily a good guitarist lol. I do love what he does with it though!

 

Yeah, I thought about that too but the list seems to really value influence. Billie Joe Armstrong didn't make the list either, but the Sex Pistols' Steve Jones did. I found that odd.

 

I'm not familiar with the band so I don't know if there is some history with the kicks... but I kind of liked them

To be fair I've checked them out and I'm listening to them regularly after the blink show, so mission accomplished for them.

 

Happy blinkmas week everyone! The greatest week of the year is upon us

 

BLINK WEEK

 

BLINK WAVE

 

BLINK-182

 

That was definitely some kid like, "I REALLY WANT TO WRITE FOR PITCHFORK" (screamed in Conan nerd voice).

I hope 20 years later that guy can string together sentences a bit better because WOOF.

 

Have to add NFG’s Coming Home. Heck at the time I felt similar to how I felt with blink s/t “whoa this is left turn, I think I like it but not for reasons I thought.” And now people can’t stop begging NFG to play Coming Home tracks live.

For s/t first time I heard most of the songs were live on the Dolla Bill tour before the album dropped. They did almost no banter or talking. So it was “wait these songs are different and no immature jokes on stage? What happened to this band!”

 

Maybe Yellowcard's Lights and Sounds, though I think that one might be pretty divisive. It was a stylistic changeup coming right off of Ocean Avenue, so no one expected that to be their next move. But as time went on, tons of people started claiming that album was actually their favorite. Maybe opinions flipped again after they released so many more great albums though.

They had custom blink logo mats in the urinals at the UK shows and I've seen multiple posts now of people who took them as souvenirs. Half grossed out, half impressed at the dedication

 

100% grossed out at the dedication

 

Call me insensitive, but I really don't see the big deal with it. That girl was probably stoked being booted by the lead singer of a band. haha!

 

Ok

 

It’s not assault if it’s the singer of a band

 

Happy blink week
