High Value Man Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Let me set the conditions. Blink is playing near you (less than 45 minutes away). With the current lineup, with the current setlist. Ticket prices are standard, lets say $40-$60. Transportation/parking etc is on you. Do you go see them? I am leaving out the "maybe" option because its kind of either you will buy a ticket or you won't. The maybes usually get thrown in the pile of "I say I might but won't get around to buying a ticket" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yes, but that's mainly because I live in a somewhat isolated area that gets very few big shows. I've only gotten to see them twice over the years, so I'd gladly see them if they came here. I wouldn't travel any distance to see them in their current state though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I wouldn't, I saw them in London last year and it was a proper letdown. Sound was pretty shite and just didn't feel like blink to me. I saw them a few times during the reunion period (the terrible Reading Festival performance and at the O2 arena a couple times) and it was just so much more enjoyable, sure it wasn't quite the same as when I saw them between 2003-2005 and there will obvious flaws but at least it still felt like blink. I think a part of my fandom died the day I saw the new line up live, just wasn't the same. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Definitely no with current lineup/setlist. Did that couple summers ago and it was super disappointing/boring. Felt like a cover band everytime Matt lead. I don't think a reunion tour with Tom would be that great either, unless they actually got together and made new music with will never happen.

Kay Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 No - but my no is quite unique, I think. I never got to see them with Tom. if I was ever going to have the chance to see blink, I'd want to see real blink. I would rather never see them then have my first time seeing them be in this current state. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yeah, I'd go. I haven't seen Blink live since the Untitled tour with Cypress Hill and whatever band opened that I don't remember. It's been long enough that I wouldn't mind seeing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 I think I'd consider going to see them if Tom rejoined but even then I would still be edging towards not bothering. Guess it depends on the circumstances and whether they release any new decent music. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nasa Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 No, but only because there are other bands I would want to see more (tradeoffs) and I've already seen them once. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucko Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 In it's current form no. I actually still enjoy a few tracks from the Cali albums and I like Skiba, but he is so wrong for Blink. The nail in the coffin for me was last year, went to the Birmingham show and it was a massive massive letdown. I've seen them so many times, and I actually think their 20th Anniversary tour was by far their best in the UK. Pre-Hiatus were great shows, but the acoustic sets on the 20th anniversary tour made it a bit more special. I will always listen to new music they put out, and get excited about new music, but in all honesty I have no interest in seeing them live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 No, I saw them back with Tom, and I don't think how a show with current conditions can reach/top that level. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 yeahhhhhh, i guess. i don't like the current state of the band, nor how they are live, nor the setlist, but i'd be damned if blink in some form or fashion came near me and i just ignored it. i guess my fandom is still that strong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeling_This_1 Posted November 14, 2018 Report Share Posted November 14, 2018 Yes of course I would. They come around once every few years, and what better things am I going to be doing for 1 night anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually disagree to be honest, casual fans seem to not mind but there is a good portion of die hard fans that don't like the direction the band are going in. Check comments on Twitter every now and then and you'll see a lot of people share the same negative view of the bands current state that a lot of people here do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
