Cheerios4u98 Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 I would absolutely love to hear Pathetic, Wasting Time, and Apple Shampoo. Anything pre-Enema would get me hyped, but especially those three. Edit: and Touchdown Boy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I've always liked Apple Shampoo because blink is known for overusing the A-B-A-B-C-B song pattern, but Apple Shampoo doesn't even come close to following it. It's one of their weirder songs in terms of structure. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's one of their weirder songs in terms of structure. it’s a top tier tune. interesting structure, while still within their genre, plus the most honest lyrics mark ever penned. “i know just where i stand / a boy trapped in the body of a man” is pretty self aware for that era, and captures his peter pan tendencies better than anything else ever did 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 21 Days would also be amazing to hear live. I edited my post at the top of this page, but Touchdown Boy is another one that's high on my list of songs I most want to hear live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked Tom to play an acoustic version of it in an AVA Modlife chat once back in 2007 or 2008, and he did! It was cool. And likely the last time he ever played any version of that song to an audience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pancho Poncho Posted August 22, 2019 Report Share Posted August 22, 2019 I think it'd be amazing if they pulled a Coheed & Cambria concert type, where they would perform an album back to back on night 1 and so on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a video on YouTube I think of them playing with Travis. Or I could be getting it confused with Does my breath smell which is another id love to hear them bring back. They may have performed both with Travis at one point in his early days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit me up Jans ex Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 wow! Apple shampoo in ‘13! Didn’t realize they brought it back in 2013 when Tom was still in the band. This crowd were some lucky bastards. Amazing even with Tom’s weak ass guitar tone. What if mark really is the sole reason they don’t bring back deeper cuts? If nothing else, they did start bringing back deeper cuts in Tom’s last days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
