zzzz Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Who goes to Vegas for Memorial Day? If anything I think Memorial Day Weekend would detract from any one going there, as most are at a cookout with their families in town. The setlist has nothing to do with the crowd IMHO. Vegas is just a weird spot, a lot of young fans probably can’t afford to travel there just to see Blink, and most of the gamblers/bachelor party crowd would rather gamble and go to a strip club.

I could get it if you took the position that the hate is overdone, or even way over done if you wanted to make that stretch. But you literally can't even deal with the slightest bit of criticism.

Blink182acti0n Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Went to the show last night, best blink show I been to in a long time! Ended up getting two guitar picks. One of Matt’s and one of marks. Plenty of room on the floor was nice too, got super close without feeling like I was going to die. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 They sound so much better than they did on Kimmel and KROQ. I wonder why. Everything is so much better. Its almost like they were holding out till they got to Vegas. Its good to see. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted May 28, 2018 Report Share Posted May 28, 2018 Glad they're performing Home Is Such a Lonely Place, but I wish Skiba would actually play the song properly rather than just chords. Sounds weird hearing that song with a rhythm guitar instead of a lead. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still get your hits in plus deep cuts. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on Matt's constant mistakes in the simplest blink riffs, I seriously doubt he could have pulled that off live. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 as someone who isn't a fan of alkaline trio (at least, not TOO into them), is matt just horrendously bad at his instrument? he struggles with a lot of blink songs, and there could be other factors -- nervousness, perhaps. but these songs are batshit easy to most guitar players, if i'm not mistaken. seems like a man with 20+ years experience as a professional musician should be able to play more than the chords and sing but then again, mark isnt much better lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still love their stuff though, it works for what it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Who knows if Matt even wrote the guitar part for HISALP. Could have been Feldmann or Mark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoltan Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 i'm sure david hodges wrote and recorded it. (and i'm glad they don't play it live. it's not a good guitar theme.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
