Blink-182 Band • Page 1591

I saw BCR at their SLC date. I really don't remember much about it other than The Used opened, which I thought was insaaaane since they were our "hometown heroes" at that time.

 

Their cover of Mandy is elite.

 

Newly recorded with new Tom writing would be a nonstarter to me lol. I'd only care if it was straight from recording the album

 

Yup it would basically be Letters To God Part 2 but with Travis drumming. Hard pass for me too.

 

It's definitely that song they scrapped from the original sessions, Amanda or something it was called I think

 

I think it’s called “Dance With Me” if I’m not mistaken.

It’s about sex.

 

You’re thinking of “Mandy” the Barry Manilow cover they’d play live

 

Haha I ALSO hung out with David for a long time after the LA show. Our show had h20, TBS, the used, and BCR. Best lineup I’ve ever seen.

 

I feel like “new” BCR would probably just sound like that weird non-blink solo thing Tom released. A few decent, unfinished ideas but overall just more of the same stuff he’s done since starting AvA.

 

Oh yeah def. Circle Jerk Pit may as well have been called My Second Punk Song

 

Golden showers in the golden state is a jam

 

Went back and listened to the BCR album for the first time in... four years? I really wish My First Punk Song didn't make it to the album lol

 

Oh it's terrible and doesn't fit at all

 

Ya, I always thought Instrumental should’ve replaced My First Punk Song in the track listing and MFPS should’ve been one of those hidden tracks at the end of the album where you sit in silence for like 3 minutes haha.

Instrumental is awesome. An old band I was in used to warm up with that song lol.

 

Listening to it for the first time now, tbh. I've heard I Feel So and There Is of course, but diving in!

 

Gasp

 

Not gonna lie to you, it was a pretty bold choice for them to sequence the Bad Religion song...

...directly next to the Alkaline Trio song.

(Enjoying the album though)

 

I never heard that BCR hated touring. Why is that? Just not worth the time / ROI?

 

I never heard of them hating touring either. But maybe it was because the drama was so high between them and Mark at that point that it made it not fun. Also, Tom was probably at the peak of his back pain too, which could have been a factor. Who knows.

 

Seems like David's always been chill. We hung out outside in Dallas in feb 08 for about 45 min before he asked me and my lady if we wanted to get on the bus where it was warmer. Pirates of the Caribbean and vodka RedBulls with AVA and a WASTED Chris Georggin. Still probably the coolest night of my life (aside from wedding and kids being born of course)

 

haha absolutely. he was outside with his wife at the time and did his best to get tom to come off the bus to hang but it didn't work. tom did give him a hurley shirt to give me so I gues that was cool? I got one of tom's hurley shirts? haha

 

David is rad! He's almost always at his coffee shop and loves taking time to talk AVA/BCR, Coffee, and Motorcycles with customers and fans.

My mom loves his coffee/drinks, so I took her there to grab a Chai Tea Latte and David was there interviewing someone for a job. I told my mom he was the owner and is the guitar player of AVA (who she has seen live twice haha) and was in BCR. She pulled a total mom move, interrupted his interview by introducing herself and complimenting him on his coffee, then mentioned how she was at "Angels and Airwave's first show in Chicago in 2006".

I was totally embarrassed, but he was cool about it all and was super appreciative of my mom's compliments.

 

Stoked for new blink music this year!

 

Haven’t heard much about this, and not really a fan of escape the fate, but Travis plays drums on this track.
