[Speedo]

Maybe it’s Green Day 75?

Germans are weird…

now that One More Time will be launched in the middle of the european tour, is there a chance blink could add some new songs to the setlist?

 

surely someone already asked this...

People think they'll cut Cynical, which sucks cause it sounds great live. Plus it's not even that long! Just add OMT to the set without removing anything.

Who would even know anything about that decision?

Last night they had to cut one song from the setlist because Tom was sick and they cut Reckless Abandon, maybe that's the one that will go when they start playing One More Time

They have almost two weeks off after tonight’s show so hopefully Tom can rest up and get healthy for the second leg of the tour!

Outrageous. That’s such a great live song.

Yesterday's show was great but the sound was dreadful, but that's due to the venue which is infamous for that. I've yet to see a show there with a decent sound.

I haven't looked at the setlists from previous gigs at all because I wanted to be surprised and I was really happy they played songs like Dysentery Gary and Dumpweed. Bummer they cut Reckless Abandon though.

hamburg was the same. you could tell they were playing great, but i could barely hear anything.

Show was great though.

it's just hilarious to me when watching videos like this:

lol, fuck your fancy outboard gear, i couldn't even pinpoint the song they were playing until they started singing

[Julian Casablancas]

Yeah I saw that video too and thought, well that didn't work out well lol

But Stadthalle just has a bad sound due to the weirdly shaped ceiling and general room shape, no matter what kind of magic they are doing. One of my friends is FOH tech (a very experienced one) and I was there once when he mixed a band there and he struggled so much to make it sound half decent during soundcheck. Thing is, sound just completely changes again once the room is filled with people.

yeah most arena shows sound like trash. its just a giant concrete cube, i'm sure everbody involved is super capable. it's just kind of funny to claim, they use this fancy gear to get the last 5% of sparkle on the top, when it sounds like shit in general. no compressor or eq can save a shitty venue

 

The boys where on top of their game though, the whole light production looks amazing

[Cheerios4u98]

blink should tour with Alkaline Trio and let Matt pop in for a song or two. Let's have all four blink boys on stage together at least one time.

LAPD can run security and Scott can join the fold too 

[Kay]

Do we think they might play OMT or MTYK at all on any of the remaining dates? I’d fucking die if they played OMT in birmingham

Mark said something about practicing new songs but didn’t give a definitive on whether they would be added or not. I guess we will find out soon enough.

Sounds like they should have used real tube amps

Please no.

It‘s okay guys. Tom is back, you can stop pretending that the skiba phase was any good ?? 

[Russel Coight]

Stop enjoying things guys! You're not allowed to like what I don't.
