blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1522

Cynical, BTD, Los Angeles, Home (love the individual videos so much & this song hits different with a kid that will eventually leave and be their own person), Left Alone ( should have been a single, and live song), Rabbit Hole, & Only Thing (that skiba verse rattles around in my head once every few days indefinitely) are all peak blink for that era IMO.

I get why people feel it’s a bit generic and lacking, but I have love for that time in the band’s history. They all seemed so happy to have made a hit record without Tom and Skiba really made his mark on a few songs. He ventured deeper on NINE but i’m partial to California.

 

Added a classic to the collection. Wouldn’t be who I am today without this band. And for 18 bucks in great condition? COME ON

 

Truly needed to see that 3 times.

 

you’re welcome

 

Which variant?

Nice. $18 for any variant is a steal. I haven’t found vinyl for under $20 since 2010.

 

used records at Grimey’s in Nashville is the only place that I know of that sells used items below or at most, right at market value. They give you Jack shit for trade in, but it kills if you’re buying

 

Los Angeles walked so Black Rain could run


Both are bangers though and I'm super glad I got LA and San Diego at my Cali show

 

Can’t believe Los Angeles was going to be the lead single off California before Mark wrote the bridge to BTD. Wonder what the fan reaction would be been if it was.

 

The OG collection. Capital B Red Cross Enema from day one release. A very very scratched Dude Ranch that has been played to hell and back. Promo single for First Date is random. Couple signed Riding in Vans DVDs.

 

The cardboard TOYPAJ case >>>

 

It was especially nicely textured cardboard too

 

As David Letterman pointed out there was a little puzzle inside too lol

 

I went to Mark's book event in London today and had a great time. They added a lot of little extras you don't get in the book.

And so many pictures I'd never seen shown!

 

That flyer is for a show where I went to college, 4 years later. Random.

Was it literally that show that this happened?

Would be a very weird twist of universe fate that I ended up going to that college

 

Was that a tour? A one-off? Seems close to when Travis would have joined.

 

That was also the show where Blink 182 first got the idea to be attacked by the Sandfleas in the middle of every set.

 

I feel like I know a lot about this band and I have no idea what this means lol

 

The Sandfleas

 

After finally finishing the book I’ve been reading for a few months, I started and finished Mark’s memoir in 2 sittings.

It was awesome and now I want to go re-watch their Coachella set.

 

do you have it?

 

No I don’t have it, I forgot the recording isn’t on YouTube only a few songs haha

 

Again, I have both weekends saved... but im old and dunno where to upload to share with everyone that it won't get pulled or get anyone in trouble. Haha
Any advice for the thread?
