allsystemsgo Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Tom on the Skiba songs is super interesting. I'd honestly like to see more of that; it's refreshing. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerpipe Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Wow mark and Tom sound so good in these videos. Top form. And the stage is sick. Never thought I’d see it again, what a sight to behold! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Dudes that GotDF performance was sick, it was always pretty good live, but the solo/outro took it to new levels 7 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 What's everyone's beer/piss break song going to be this tour? I think it will still be Up All Night for me. It sounds good from the videos I've seen but I'm still not a huge fan of the song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude I’ve been saying from day 1 that Tom seems different and his ego seemed gone and believed we’d hear at least bored to death. Only to be met with “dude it’s Tom. It won’t happen.” The final step is to remove the To The Stars t-shirt and the transformation shall be complete lol. His attitude just seems 1000x healthier now. Will be interesting when/if they start doing media to hear what he has to say about it all. Also- UAN sounds better than it ever has live by far too. I was kind of annoyed they had that in the set because it's so butchered usually, but I love the song and that was actually a good performance of it. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i go, ill be going by myself I think I would be too. My one kid that would enjoy it is still a bit too young & my friends who used to go to these shows are all far away or just not into it enough anymore. Travel is double that distance for me, but I have family an hour away from AC who I could stay with. I’m also considering just going to the beach with the family that weekend & hoping I can see a bit & hear everything.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Man, Nine would play really well live right now with the overall enthusiasm. First Time, Heaven, Pin The Grenade, Emo Shit, RWIHY Would be slappers live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 Emo Shit would be so great! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 In all honesty Heaven could be one of the best blink songs live. Not sure I'd want Tom on the Matt verse there, but bridge would be cool. Mark could do both verses? Darkside would be good too, Tom would do good on that song. But might be weird to do a full Matt song. Nine was meant to be played live. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is about BIOMY. Ok, just did. I tracked its performance on the charts as I have with every blink single since Neighborhoods. Looks like it peaked at #11? Should have done better, great tune Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 5, 2023 Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 So finally I got to see some videos. This is astounding. And finally, they're starting to downtune some songs, as Bored To Death, and now is not a torture for Mark to sing it. Both Cynical and BTD sounded great with Tom, I'm loving the little things he brings to BTD on the guitar. I though they wouldn't play those songs, but it's cool to see they're fine with their past. It's amazing. Shit, Adam's Song, Up All Night... they sound so well right now... it's almost unbeliveable how well they are doing things this time. This is what this band, the legacy and themselves deserved. They are honoring their past, their present and, I hope, their future, just closing shit up. Also, I kinda dig the stage set up. It's weird at first and I preffer a more classic scheme (I've never been a fan of the 360 knid of concept) but hey, is cool. Also I'm really loving the lightning and the screening shit. 6 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted May 5, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2023 still buzzing watching videos of this this morning. since i became a fan of this band, later than most (2008-09), i've had to contend with a band in dysfunction. it was clear nothing was ever right, delays on albums, missed opportunities, sloppy live playing, lineup changes, songwriting farm-addled comeback albums, and more. it was clear most of that was due to tom, unfortunately, but we're in an entirely new era now: tom is back, and better than he has ever been. THIS is the band i know and love, and what they've always been capable of. they sound completely tight in a way they never have. tom sounds committed, is singing properly, adding in cool riffs and playing with the songs a bit. mark's voice sounds stronger than it has in a decade, and it's clear this tour means a lot to him deep down. travis is an animal, as always, and in lieu of a drum solo, we've received a cool extended bridge for GOTDF! not to mention the setlist! i really do love this setlist a lot. i'm not a fan that has ever expected them to play marlboro man, or even wendy clear, i just want them to play the hits and add a couple of fun ones in. this is that set: dysentery gary, aliens exist, GOTDF, cynical, BTD, both down and always (often skipped for one or the other), reckless abandon, dumpweed, and more. hearing tom sing the matt songs is, as i said, mind-boggling... it's not something i ever expected would or could happen, and it feels right. it really celebrates the band's history in full, including the matt era, and it's unreal to see. in the past, the backing tracks were almost a comical symbol of what they could be sounding like (think the matt alter ego show, or the untitled 2013 shows). now they aid and add to the sound in a full way they always should. i really think the band switching to digital amps is a huge step up, it keeps the sound more consistent and is easier for them to manage. the stage design is an acquired taste, i guess, but if that's the only thing to complain about, so be it! if anything it pushes the guys closer together in a smaller space than giving them room to stay in their bubbles. anyway! i love this band i can't wait for more. "the best timeline" is passe to say i feel like, but it feels like we're in it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
