blink-182 Band • Page 1371

I didn’t see an SLC shirt but I got a little glimpse of the poster. I wasn’t able to snag a picture of it though. You have to ask for them, I didn't see them hanging up.

 

Hahahah YUP THATS IT

 

Here's this too!

 

I appreciate you man! Reddit came through. haha!

 

Do they have poster tubes for purchase at hte merch booth?

 

Yeah, $4

 

Thank you!

 

Always, good sir! So pumped for tonight!

 

Enjoy the show guys!

Really digging that city poster if anyone can grab an extra and ship I'd Paypal you beer money for tonight plus poster/shipping cost.

 

I'm sadly gettin there after doors, but I'll see what I can do, dude! Hopefully they'll linger!

 

Was just wondering about this. I actually enjoyed the first 2 a lot. Currently reading that Trinity novel that came out recently.

Edit: I thought this was the sekret machines trilogy. Forgot about the non-fiction books with AJ Hartley. Still need the next in that series.

 

that poster and shirt is rad. the show specific stuff has been killer on this tour.

 

have fun dude, you're going to love it!

 

i'm still kicking myself for not getting the poster and the bubble gum long sleeve when the truck line was so short in denver, then i talked myself into it during the show and the line was too long

 

3 20 minute merch lines during PTV for the drain blink shirt was so worth it. first piece of merch on probably a decade for me.

 

Have so much fun tonight boys!

 

I’m looking forward the third book too! The writer said some time ago it was finished, I think they are waiting for some big announcement regarding a tv series or something to release it.

 

Did not know that! Thanks for the info.

 

Excited to hear your show review, @bradsonemanband !

 

SLC thoughts:

Landon Barker was more genuine and humble than I expected. Didn't mind his set.

I've never heard or seen Pierce The Veil before, and really dug their stuff, and I wish
I had their bass players energy.

blink was unreal good as always, and I'm thoroughly convinced Travis is a robot.
If I had a gun to my head and HAD to complain about something, I'd say it would be
to take Down out of the setlist. Maybe put Ghost on the Dance Floor back in that spot.
Down is just SO slow, that it feels like the set momentum steps in cement.
But it was still a 10/10 for me. They still got it. So if you're on the fence, GO!

 

SLC thoughts (Brad's Version):

About 30 minutes before show time, Mark came out on stage and waved and flipped everyone off, which was a lot of fun.

Landon Barker is basically a pop punk MGK clone, and for what it is, it was a fun performance. He came out on stage smoking a cigarette so I expected him to be pretentious and annoying, but like @artofjosephshelton said, he was actually very genuine and humble, and even mentioned that he was super nervous and shaking. His guitarist with the mullet bugged the hell out of me for some reason though, haha. The band had a little bit of tech difficulties during the last song, which was kind of a bummer for them, I'm sure.

I briefly saw Pierce the Veil at WWWY last year. That was my first time seeing them and hearing anything by them, so lastnight I kinda knew what to expect. The bassist was ALL OVER the place! Dude was having the time of his life and should get paid double for being the hype man as well as having to play the songs. Their sound was really bad from the pit, and I was nervous that was going to carry over into Blink's sound, and I was contemplating maybe moving to the back of the pit rather than the front, just in case, for that reason. But I stayed put.

Blink's sound was MUCH better, thank garrrrsh! I was on Tom's side, and there were 3 people between me and the barrier. I probably could have started at the barrier if I hadn't drank a liter of water in line before doors opened. (Ya boy had to pee immediately when doors finally opened.) But I was happy with my spot. The pit was actually really small which was nice. I don't think there was a bad spot in the pit, so if any of you get there after doors open or after the show starts, and you have GA tickets, I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with how close you'll still be.

Tom was right there in front of me the entire night. The stage didn't move at all. It was pretty unreal watching 2024 Tom playing these songs that have inspired me to play guitar every day for the last 25 years.

We got "Obvious" and "Carousel" which I was really happy about. And I will say this... Right when "Down" started, everyone around me in the pit went crazy. So even though it's a slow live song, the general crowd reaction is probably why the band keeps playing it, and so I can't complain too much about that. I'm rather have another deep cut, or "Adam's Song" in its place, but tomato tamatah, Blink is Blink is Blink.

Obviously Blink ruled and it was such a fun night. My voice is gone and my body is sore, but it was well worth it. Especially compared to the last time I saw them, which was at WWWY last year and I was 302,938 miles away from the stage. Hence why I splurged on GA pit tickets this time around. I HAD to be close, after WWWY bumming me out.
