The kerrang announcement is that they are the featured interview in the new issue on wednesday. 

[Chewy030]

This promise thing was blown out of proportion. I purposely avoided the hype. Just sounded like tom talking out his ass from the start. Didn't feel right.

Now what's this kerrang deal? Announced when?

 

Makes me wonder to how long ago the "surprise" interview actually was. Could of been done before they even went on tour.  But i wasn't really expecting anything big.

Im thinking the Kerrang interview will just confirm what has been speculated about. Tom ditch them this past year, Mark was pissed, they made up. Now things are set for a new album next year.

I'd have to agree. Someone made the same comment in the reddit thread.

Bigest thing about this band is to never get your hopes up. I'm not expecting much from the interview i know Mark said in one that "Oh we went through some personal stuff eariler this year and were good now" So in a nut shell your statement is probably true.

Hey guys the big surprise at Reading is that there is no big surprise.

 

Oh come on I thought I was lying when I posted this...

[boxelder]

they could easily drum up press in a way that doesn't flat out say "we're going to slip in a really old song and some songs we've never played in europe." 

 

as for the kerrang interview, i hope they don't just skim over whatever backstage drama occurred this year. mark has a tendency to be so vague about that shit

[thongrider]

Is the surprise song Ashtenia r?

[Cheerios4u98]

I think the surprise song was First Date because nobody expected them to be dumb enough to keep playing First Date.



I kid, I kid.

All things considered I think I do still enjoy First Date more than What's My Age Again?

Haha to be honest I still like both of them a lot.

im only two songs into the reading video but i have to complain a little here.  

 

This is a very standard same old show from blink.  You could switch this out with any show from the past like 3 years and I wouldnt notice.  Marks voice and Toms guitar sound like shit.  I seriously cant stand Toms guitar sound anymore.  And what the fuck is mark wearing a suit jacket for?

 

That being said its still awesome we get such good quality video of them playing live

i think the suit jacket is awesome.

[dildo69er]

some people are fkn freaks. Just checked out instagram. Mark posts something and josiebear182 responds "So cute my pumpkin pie"

 

fucking hell as much as id like to think id love to meet my fans etc if i was that famous..even in a small percentage that would make me weirded out and probably less happy to be approached

[shoop36]

12:29 in.. looks like the backing tracks are louder than the actual guitar. smh... that guitar tone sounds like ass either way, and everyone including his band members think so.

Kind of. Tom definitely had more energy than most shows. Plus it was pro shot. Also the thrill of knowing it was live (only applies to people watching it in real time)

 

Other than that, yeah, it was standard.

Hopefully a new cohesive album will prompt him to change his setup. Been using the same guitars and amps for a long time now. If he likes that sound/setup he should keep it around for AVA.

A lead guitarist in a 3 piece pop punk band needs to have more volume and grit than what Tom is dishing out.

Still sounded really good on the stream though..I wish they'd release a live album or DVD.
