Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1131

My friend the other day was talking about how American Idiot was overrated (I disagreed heavily with that).

We then went track by track and every single god damn track he said “oh yeah this is actually great.” This album rules. The concept they went with was timely and fantastic. The songs were bold. And it still holds up nearly 15-16 years later.

Jesus of Suburbia is up there for my favorite song by any band.

 

Seeing Green Day on that American Idiot tour was a TREAT.

Bonus points for MCR opening.

 

Letterbomb >>>>>> every other pop punk song or album ever made.

 

My god I love this.

 

This seems like a good time to say "Hey, come participate in the Green Day bracket. We're on the last round of Kerplunk and starting Dookie next! Bracket Case (Green Day Bracket) • Page 10 • forum.chorus.fm"

BTW a part of me died when reading about people skipping half of American Idiot.

 

Make that Beatles movie but with pop pink

I was there at the Orlando show!!!

 

Get out.

 

Get out.

 

Dookie- really good, timeless, lad foundation for future poppu k albums

Insomniac - angrier cokier dookie

Nimrod - sad drunk experimental version of insomniac

Warning - "I'm in my 30's" version of Nimrod

American Idiot - without mcr wouldn't be the band if became so shut up

 

every track on american idiot (green day's best album) fucks

not every track on self-titled (blink's best album) fucks

anyone who thinks blink fucks harder than green day is a cop

 

No way he’s releasing a film in January that he hasn’t shot a frame of yet. Gtfo Tom.

have any of you listened to the blink-155 podcast with justin pearson where he rips on blink? it starts at 1:28:00 and is pretty great

 

Do they though? Apparently they play up to 3 hours, but play nearly the same amount of songs that blink does, 1/4 of their setlist is covers, and they like to drag out some songs. I mean is a 10 minute version of everlong necessary?

 

I’m good if a band does one or two jams/extended versions live. Obviously I’m a big Bruce fan but Death Cab did a killer extended We Looked Like Giants jam when I last saw them and during a costume change Carly Rae Jepsen’s band did a dope ass electronic/sample based live jam.

Blink isn’t suited for it though.

 

It’s hot take central in here tonight

 

I am absolutely fine with a 10 minute version of Everlong tbh. best radio rock song of all time

 

I think there’s an early Blink pic of Mark wearing a Kerplunk shirt.

 

Some cool stuff here: Episode 38 - A Chat With Tom DeLonge — The Blink-180 Dudes Podcast — Overcast

also,

You’re in a time-out

 

Fuck now I’m depressed again after watching those. :(

 

Tonight was fun as hell. Lil Wayne absolutely stole the show and the crowd was turnt up his entire set. Straight fire for an entire hour.

blink was good as usual, but being the third outdoor amphitheater tour I’ve seen them on since Cali dropped, everything felt scripted and super samey.

Loved hearing EOTS in full even though the crowd had blank faces during the deeper cuts on Enema and songs like Wasting Time. BIOMY was also played to a dull reaction.

All in all a very fun night and I hope these mixed lineups continue.

 

Are we the waiting is a bore.

Also, every track in the untitled fucks. Even the Untitled b-side fucks.

 

Blink should bring Tom back just to record the I Miss You electric version with the outro.

That version in 2003/2004 is one of the best things they did.

 

excuse me mikey but #defendpoppunk was man overboard's motto you fucking poser
