blink-182 Band • Page 631

boy. I have been off the blink train for like 12-13 yrs at this point (not sure I ever even listened to Neighborhoods all the way through, certainly nothing since besides an occasional single) but I'm watching a crowd vid of "Feeling This" from Friday and uhhhh this actually rules haha. wonder how S/T-heavy the tour will be with it being the 20th anniversary. I'm gonna be in CO already when they stop there, maybe if resale prices get low enough...

 

also: if you downloaded the blink set from archive.org and are able to do so, consider donating to the EFF to try to keep the site doing what it does as it's under legal attack from multiple angles--most recently this case:

https://www.eff.org/cases/hachette-v-internet-archive

pretty sure I remember Jason listing the EFF in his charities section of his eoty list last year so probably on yalls radar but jic

 

I wouldn’t expect the set list to be any more untitled heavy than it typically is. Feeling This, I Miss You, Down, maybe Violence or Stockholm, but that’s likely about it. Maybe they’ll throw in Always

 

you can be my hero, bb

 

I echo everyone's excitement about Blink 182 being back and sounding amazing. My story, in a similar vein to @Jason Tate liner notes mentioning memories. I have one that links blink, chorus/AP and the start of the Coachella set.

I was fortunate enough to make a friend off chorus/AP. This friend ended up working alongside Mark Hoppus in around 2015. He introduced me to Mark at a bar in Glasgow. Bar had a stage on which a band he was working with played a set. Mark went up and played family reunion.

So fair to say... I lost my shit when they opened up the Coachella set with that!

 

Is this paws by any chance?

 

Indeed. I also saw Paws play a set at Bloc once, where they got We Are Scientists as surprise guests which was insane. They seem to have went a bit quiet recently.

 

I know we’re beating a dead horse here, but it would make so much sense if they did something this week. All eyes are on them. Hype is high. Monthly listeners on Spotify went up by like 2 mil. I’m sure Apple Music saw huge spikes too. Strike while the iron is hot and momentum is in their favor. At least start teasing!

 

I was in school with Ryan. I think he’s working as a music journalist now.

 

Was offline all weekend until now. Beyond stoked on all the positivity and beyond ready for tour next month.

Such a sick bonus having Turnstile opening. Show of the summer!

 

Roger L Jackson, ghostface the man himself

 

Nice! Looked like Randy Jackson at first haha. That’s why I asked.

 

I mean who the heck can tell the difference between Matthew Thomas and Thomas Matthew anyways

 

Do we know if Leonardo DiCaprio watched the blink set?

 

Ding Dong burgers lol

 

Just watching the set again and the face Mark makes right when Tom starts to play the extended outro during the I Miss You is everything!Pure happiness!

 

Really puts into perspective how great this was.

The live pitch correction gets a big thumbs up from me. Was worried it was just for the stream.

Tom's energy here is infectious. That last chorus.. making me tear up over here.

 

Maybe I’m dumb but I don’t hear the pitch correction.

 

I'm wathing the set now, I don't really hear pitch stuff either, but Tom does sound pretty terrible at times haha. Great set, love it

 

In that vid listen to the timbre of his voice around 00:18 on "move"

It can be compared to how it was set for the Angels live stream a few years ago.

I have no idea what happened in First Date though, when it went straight auto-tune.

 

damn, Edging sounded so good. Truly already fits in perfectly with the rest of their discography, such a great blink track

 

This might be my favorite part of the set, how well Edging sounded live. Was concerned that it was going to sound hollow and dull. Nope!

 

Just listened to the whole set all the way through and it definitely blows the first reunion shows out the window. You can tell that all three of them were having a blast and that their friendships are mended.

Quite the special set and a great way to open this new era for them.
