Tom’s been through it all down in South America. He needed oxygen last night because of the altitude.

Mark did mention on his discord that the set list for the next US tour will be very different. But who knows what that means when it comes to this band. Same songs just switched around? lol

Seeing that guy in the crowd cry during Anthem Pt. 2 really brought home how much this means to the South American fans.

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.

The Brazil show is BRUTAL. The aerial camera shots are impressive. Inmense. They all deserved that show.
I also love all the shots of the fans in the crowd losing their minds. We didn’t get many of those with the other pro shots.

Watching the Brazil show right now. Holy shit they sound great.
Anthem Pt 2, Rock show, Family Reunion and then Wendy Clear is such a great start to the show. So much energy!

Someone on the blink Reddit asked if there was any other online blink group or forums. Someone replied and said we are a bunch of old heads who hate the band and hate each other lmao

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.

Anyone else sick of Toms dad dancing? Wtf is he doing?
Nah it looks like he’s having a blast up there. His dancing is goofy but if he’s having a good time then I’m all for it.

I think it would cool if they did something really different and didn’t play their instruments at all. They could choreograph dances and wear headsets for microphones.

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?

I love how Tom and Mark were making fun of Metallica and then awkwardly looking at each other like they were doing something wrong.

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

It’s great seeing Tom appreciate the crowd. He used to be the first one to leave the stage but now he’s usually the last one out there.

This crowd is so loud! I love how the South American crowds sing along with the guitar riffs

Pretty disappointed with Tom’s performance. He sounded great in Australia but was slurring so much tonight. A few times Mark looked like he was pissed.

Would be awesome if they closed with Darkside or I Really Wish I Hated You.
