prankerd14 Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 It cant be that bad that he's back for weds... I dunno if I'm in the UK for a short time touring ...I'd still play with the flu for my fans and say sorry for being so bad ...or at least do a video or apology to my fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blurryface Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Didn't Matt appear at a free benefit show after the London attacks earlier this year or I have just made that up haha!? Wouldn't rule out a very stripped down acoustic set but it sucks they cancelled on the day of the show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 So people would be showing up at the gig by now, and still no post from Matt/Travis/Mark about it, or even from the official Blink Instagram page? Matt can post a flyer for his art show but can't throw up a quick "SORRY GUYS!" note to the fans? So wack IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent's Brother Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 Mark tweeted about it, but only in a reply for some reason. https://twitter.com/markhoppus/status/886895073845268481 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 What size venues have blink been playing in the UK? The crows look pretty small from all the videos I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The crows look pretty small from all the videos I've seen. Manchester was downgraded to a smaller venue because of the arena still being shut. They played the Echo Arena in Liverpool and it looked near enough full. Not sure about the rest of the tour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted July 17, 2017 Report Share Posted July 17, 2017 From the pictures I saw from that night, it just looked like he had a recent haircut and thankfully the barber cut all 7 long hairs he has to a somewhat "normal" length... He still had the flipped bangs look, it just wasn't AS extreme as Mr. Neutron above which he definitely should ditch lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 If you look at Mark's recent Instagram "story" you can see that the faux-hawk is alive and well, sadly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that he rocks the faux hawk to hide his receding hairline. It makes you look less bald when you spike your hair up like that for whatever reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted July 19, 2017 Report Share Posted July 19, 2017 Yeah of course he can do whatever he damn well chooses with his hair or his look haha. It's just funny seeing how things diverge over the years after I'm guessing a ton of us had some version of their "look" back in the day.

Elisa Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 I went to see them tonight and it was great. Looked like they were having so much fun on stage. And despite his health issues, Mark sounded good too. How did I feel during the show? I think at times it was awesome to be there, the production was great and all the songs from Enema and Take Off sounded awesome live, really. Skiba did a fucking great job with Dumpweed and Dysentery Gary, they were the best two songs of the night. Oh and we got so lucky because travis wanted blink to play Man Overboard instead of KOT tonight ♡. The crowd was better than I expected and all the new songs were well received BUT what I really have to say is that there was definitely something missing on all the songs from Untitled. I don't know if it was Tom's absence but I had this weird feeling during those songs.. I don't know how to explain it. The same thing happened during the new ones. Sober was the one that sounded better, really, and people seemed to like all of them but they didn't sound quite right to me. Mark and Skiba didn't talk during the show but it was fine, Mark even made the exact same joke that he made in London 3 years ago and I was like REALLY? But other than that I don't have anything else to report. Skiba looked happy, Travis was a beast and I even got myself a setlist at the end of the show for the first time ever. I met our boy @Thibaut182, quality guy (it was so good to meet you! I hope to see you again soon bud, I'll tell you if I ever come back to London) and one last thing: I stood outside Travis' tourbus this morning - it was around 11 am - and I fucking met him without paying all that money! He was so nice to us. Couldn't really get any better than that. I even forgive them for not playing any other old song. But I think they should focus on the Enema / TOYPAJ songs live because they were tight, they sounded amazing! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anybody remember that time Mark played as a Dad in a skit last year with a normal haircut and it looked so weird yet refreshing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to shave it like he did in the STFTK vid. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted July 20, 2017 Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 @Elisa what seemed wrong with the new songs? Did they just not sound right or sound soulless or something? Understood your point with Untitled songs being weird without Tom, but trying to figure out how the new stuff sounded weird as well. That's awesome you met Trav, was there a bunch of you just waiting by his bus and he walked right over? Glad you had a good time! Blink's last show overseas is tonight, then back to the USA...
