Taking Back Sunday Band • Page 506

This is interesting because I much prefer Starland. But I don’t care for muls as a venue. And I would say that 2023 playing half the new album (with different songs off it) felt like as much as a treat as some of the deeper cuts

 

Adam"s new Instagram Story post--he wants nothing to do with the drama lol. Good for him, don't feed the troll.

 

For me at the time I loved the 2023 holiday set because it was my first time seeing the 152 songs. The rest felt pretty standard, but then basically that core setlist became the 2024 setlist too so I got tired of it. I think this past years was great since they broke out some random ones and retired some of the constant mainstays. I hope they continue to do that in 2025. I’m ok with songs like Tidal Wave getting a break.

I also just feel Adam is at his best on night 1 of a 4-night run. If I go to the Muls shows, getting to Sayreville from LI is such a hassle. But I’m not local to either area so my opinion is skewed.

 

That’s fair. Starland is inconvenient as hell to get to without your own transportation. I think the crowd is a just a bit different at Starland, and it lends itself to really good vibes, but I like when the crowd moves a bit more and I know that maybe not everybody does.

yeah, now that you mention it, the 2023 setlist did mostly become the 2024 summer setlist, but at the time I was like “oh wow they’re playing this many new songs!”

I could do without tidal wave the song. I really enjoyed getting call come running and beat up car this year though.

 

Mulcahys has the most bizarre layout. Those two huge pillars in front of the stage makes sightlines terrible, and the two bars being right in the middle make it hard for crowd movement.

 

Christ now the producer is in the comments telling people off. It’s getting messy people.

 

people are gay for Adam I guess

 

jesus fucking christ man

 

He is a handsome man. What can I say

 

adam DAMNNNN lazzara

 

As an Adam Enjoyer, I second this.

 

“control freak penis” isn’t even messy. It’s just sad.

 

Mark had a producer?

 

yeah i know, it's kind of hard to tell

 

It makes me wonder what they may have helped cut out given what made the finished song.

 

I think I'm gonna officially call this battle for TBS if they have to resort to calling people gay

 

really bothered me as well. not a word that should be used negatively...ever.

 

He also said a different commenter had a "smelly c-"

 

I had posted about in here previously, but I was an extra in the unreleased "I'm The Only One Who Knows You" video back in October 2023 when they shot it at Shine's, my favorite and also corner bar, after they weren't able to shoot on the Long Beach Boardwalk.

Mark was at the boardwalk for the shoot but not at Shine's, which was confusing but in retrospect maybe the animated conversations they were having were related to him fucking up the permits or something? I dunno, all this drama jogged my memory about how weird it was that he wasn't at the second shoot. Vibes were also interesting.

Anyway, here's Adam and my dog again.

 

forgot about this. i really love that song and would have loved to see a video for it.

 

My favorite song from 152. Damn, would've loved a video for that.

 

I generally don't like to just say someone's music is bad, but these Mark songs are just straight up embarrassing for him, and the replies from that producer in the comments are not doing him any favors. He needs to seek help elsewhere ASAP.

 

Really funny to hear people try to shit on Adam for being a narcissistic douche, but his wife’s IG page just shows him doing normal dad shit and bonding with their dog.

 

How interesting, I thought the scrapped boardwalk video was for Keep Going, since that was was released as a single but only had a visualizer. Also fascinating to hear that tensions were high then, too.

 

I understand that the way he presents himself to the public might be very different to how he interacts privately with people he’s known 20+ years, but I am having a hard time reconciling the idea of him being that much of a narcissistic douchebag with the version of him explaining the mechanics behind Santa riding a unicorn on his sweater and using the word “toots.”
