Yeah SNL is weird like that. Some sketches I absolutely adore and rewatch, a lot of it is total dross though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 I like stand up and comedy movies but SNL or sketch comedy as a whole has never appealed to me, including MadTV. I can't remember the last time I actually saw an episode at airing time ... probably mid-90s. That isn't a diss, it's just not for me. I'm sure it's fine if you're into that sort of thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably right, but this does feel like a very Mark move in how he'd initially make such an announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted October 14, 2021 Report Share Posted October 14, 2021 just was reading the new book by dave grohl, the storyteller, which is entertaining. i didn't know this until now, but apparently both foo fighters and blink share the same tour manager, gus brandt. i'd been reading this whole book wondering why he kept referring to a "gus" while on tour, then it hit me haha. don't know why that surprised me, but i found it interesting nonetheless. blink gets exactly one mention, in the context of performing a big day out 00: Quote Other than Blink-182, we were without a doubt the nerdiest, goofiest, most annoying band on the bill. I mean, there were real heavyweights on this one—Red Hot Chili Peppers, Nine Inch Nails, Primal Scream, just to name a few—and I can safely say that none of those dudes would ever be caught dead riding around on those dork-mobiles in broad daylight. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted October 15, 2021 Report Share Posted October 15, 2021 Did they really ever decide that in a room? I thought Tom just stopped talking to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen an entire episode just pander to someone like that. Just caught up and watched last weeks episode. I don’t see how they pandered or did anything different than with any other host. Seemed like a typical/mediocre SNL episode to me. The Travis/MGK bit was pretty funny but the skit as a whole sucked. I’ll take the 2021 blink SNL reference either way though lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kinda remember that they actually spent a few hours arguing in a room once and after that Tom stopped talking to them. I always thought it was a backstage, but I'm sure Chris Shiflett knows more about their break up because blink and FF have the same manager. If he said that it happened in that studio, I think he probably heard it from the manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know the world sees his behaviour as cringe as we do haha MGK is literally the guy who said “I am weed” and made Megan Fox think "wow this is HOT, let's date". Now there's a big chance Travis and KK are a little bit better than that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
