Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1186

After seeing them in an arena the year before, it was so cool seeing them in a smaller venue and with that lineup too. Such a great show.

 

best joke song is grandpa or family reunion. hands down.

 

Are any of blink's previous joke songs actually funny? I mean sure they're fun to sing along to at the concert but I don't know I think we need some new tracks to hear if we're spending this much time talking about them haha.

 

the only joke song of theirs i ever go back to on my own is "family reunion"

 

Dude, same here! I also remember Vagrant records handing out free samplers afterwards and I found Dashboard, No Motiv and a few others from that!

Did you go to the mark, tom and travis show at the Centrum the year before in 2000 too? Did we just become best friends?!

Haha, I just texted my buddy a few hrs ago being like wait, didn't we see blink at the worcester centrum (small-ish arena size) and then the next year we saw them in at the palladium (club size) I guess the Honda Civic Tour was in small venues or something, Still can't believe I was able to get tickets to that 2001 show!

 

Haha I did. My buddy had gone up on stage the year before that to sing with Fenix Tx so we got to the Centrum real early (without tickets) and we got to chill with Fenix backstage for like an hour and a half, their publicist gave us tickets and I met Mark on the way out. So it was perfect haha

 

I only listen to the joke songs if I'm listening to a full album or it randomly pops up on my iphone. But yeah Family Reunion is probably the best joke song although Built This Pool is pretty catchy. The rest of the joke songs range from awful to embarrassing.

I know it's 'in' to bash Feldmann for the 3 new joke songs in California but we can't forget that Jerry Finn produced Happy Holidays, Mother's Day, F a Dog and Grandpa as well.

 

Only one of them was on the proper album, though

 

The joke songs for me are usually meh. I like them but I usually skip them if they pop up even FR and HH. Only time I let them play is as Jman said when listening to full album

 

I don't skip Happy Holidays when I'm listening to TOYPAJ...it's probably the fastest song they ever wrote, right?

 

Degenerate is their best joke song, for melody not lyrics. Even as a kid I hated the jokey outros on DR

 

same!

 

Oh man I completely forgot about those. Yeah those are pretty bad too.

 

Sometimes is pretty fast

 

Well that sounds more fun than going to the show with your dad and your friends dad, but hearing two 40yr old-ish dads trying to sing the lyrics to Family Reunion on the car ride home with their sons in the back will always be a fond memory of growing up hahaha! Good shit man

 

List time. Top 5 concerts, at least 1 must be Blink. To keep on topic. Or not. Your call p

1. Blink-182 Nashville 2016(VIP meet and greet, autographed California and front and center pit. Nuff said)

2. My Chemical Romance Cleveland 2006(Black Parade Front to back, Rise Against opening, first rock concert)

3. Taking Back Sunday Nashville 2016(Small Club Tidal Wave tour)

4. Breaking Benjamin Chattanooga 2015(sounded great good set, fiances birthday)

5. Alkaline Trio Cleveland 2006( first time hanging out with best friend, solid show, exposed me to more rock music)

 

Seeing blink at that Spotify secret show basically completed my life. None of the others really matter in comparison. I fucking made eye contact with Matt and Mark.

 

Brand New/Modest Mouse @ Madison Square Garden in 2016 (I was in GA and was probably 50-100 feet from the stage)

Blink-182 @ The Music Hall Of Williamsburg in 2013(Blink in a 600 cap room, need I say more?)

Brand New @ The Oakland Theatre in 2016(TDAG front to back, in what was basically a school auditorium on steroids, Loudest concert I've ever seen)

Motion City Soundtrack @ The Metro in 2016 (Their final show as a band, played for 2.5 hours)

I wanna have The Front Bottoms as my 5th but I can't pick between a few of their concerts I've been too, so yeah that

 

Danny Brown in a Detroit basement that capped maybe 300 people
Kanye Yeezus tour
John Mayer in 2010 or 11
Bruce Springsteen in 2002
Green Day in 2004

I've enjoyed the blink shows I've been to a lot but they don't crack my top 5. Maybe seeing them at the reunion in 09 could battle it out with the Yeezus tour, I felt a lot of emotions there

 

I got to see this tour twice, once in Chicago and once on Long Island and it was incredible. If this was a top ten list, the LI date would easily be on there. Adam even made fun of my girlfriend for taking a selfie haha

 

A free Lil Wayne show in LA was one of the most fun shows I've ever been to. I loved seeing Angels & Airwaves on the I-Empire tour but I was 14 or 15. I've seen Bruce a couple times and he's always untouchable. Drake was fun. And seeing blink with Skiba last year in Chicago was great. Aimee Mann the couple times I saw her in Chicago were dope, especially the one where her tour bus was parked across the street from my apartment. I forgot about Death Cab. Seeing them on the Narrow Stairs tour might replace one of my original top 5. Those would all be honorable mentions/potential top 5s. Iron & Wine and Ben Gibbard played the Ann Arbor folk fest a few years ago and sounded phenomenal.

 

I'm just gonna say that Motion City Soundtrack and Jimmy Eat World are two of the best bands to ever see live

(RIP MCS)

 

He made fun of someoneat ours for doing that too lol. I got there early and got right up against the state it was amazing

 

They were truly one of the best bands. Seeing them play Commit This To Memory was also a really important concert for me. Such a shame they had to hang it up

 

1.New Found Glory - every single show I went was amazing and they are my favorite live band and then probably 2.Lawrence Arms ( Brendan Kelly wasted as fuck was hilarious) and Alkaline Trio past live shows in Boston...fuck even Menzingers,H2O and Teenage Bottlerocket shows are wild...can't pick hahah
