    Just watched the Brazil show. So fucking good. Wendy Clear is the absolute highlight for me, they sound so tight on that. BTD and UAN need binning, I always fast forward those. They need to add Josie. So many babes in that crowd 🤣 the Latino gene pool is a fucking joke. What a good looking fan base we have. I think OMT needs to go too. Tom doesn’t sing well enough for that and it’s a bit of a dour way to end the night, it should always end with Dammit. 

    They definitely should drop Up All Night. They play it tight but it just doesn’t fit very well into the show. I would love for them to add Mutt too when it would make it a super heavy enema set list.

    On the blink182mexico fanpage on IG they say that Tom suffered a heat stroke last night. 

    Makes sense. Temps were around 40 degrees there. Tom’s gotta keep hydrated!

    A little odd though because it was hot as balls throughout the whole Australia tour as well.

    Be authentic and do what they did in their prime. They played big shows without it for many years. 
     

    orrrr here me out. They could drop all the songs with all the extra shit that Tom can’t actually play and add a bunch of Dude Ranch and Chesire Cat songs back into the mix 

    Yeah I would love to see that. I’m on the same page as you. I think a lot of it started with Untitled when they started to add all the extra shit to their songs and live shows.

    But they are playing the biggest shows they ever have and all the lights and shit are synced up to the backing tracks. It’s a huge production and unfortunately that’s the way a lot of popular music is heading these days. 25 years ago blinks live shows were very minimal when it came to lighting and special effects.

    Yea but the difference is the amount of backing tracks, and specifically all of the guitar backing tracks. When it gets to the point that Tom isn’t even touching his guitar and yet the guitars are still coming through the speakers, that’s a very valid criticism coming from rock fans. To act like it’s not is just being obtuse and playing mental gymnastics. Again, there was a time when acts got cancelled and laughed off stage for this shit. I’ll never buy into the “everyone’s doing it” excuse either. It’s not even remotely true. Maybe “everyone” that the fans who use this excuse listen to do it, but not every act does it. Such a tired and sorry excuse 

    What’s your solution though? I think the arena shows would suffer if they didn’t have backing tracks. I would prefer them to play smaller venues but that ain’t happening. Do they hire touring musicians to play the extra parts to give it a fuller sound?

    Sorry, I was just referring to how you were making fun of people complaining about Tom sounding bad. Which is fair on your part. Personally, I’d rather them be authentic and sound like shit vs not actually playing and sounding good. At least he’s really singing though, I truly can’t tell how much guitar he actually is or isn’t playing and it is kind of frustrating lol 

    He’s 100% playing his guitar. There’s just backing tracks on lots of songs. The most glaring example is his verse on I Miss You. He is walking around with the microphone and you can hear the acoustic guitar from the record playing. But when he is playing his guitar you can tell because he makes lots of mistakes lol
