madgaz182 Posted October 20, 2022 Report Share Posted October 20, 2022 Who remembers when blink would play AOL sessions before an album would drop and they would straight up play new stuff who remembers them playing new songs on tour before an album had dropped or when they would try new songs in their set before anyone had even heard of them sometimes I hate the internet for the simple fact it’s all spoiled before it’s meant too whats your nostalgia takes from things of yesteryear ?

Times have changed though. Seems like bands don't go out and play new stuff ever anymore, outside 1 song that's already been released. 1 minute ago, madgaz182 said: who remembers them playing new songs on tour before an album had dropped or when they would try new songs in their set before anyone had even heard of them This I definitely miss the most. My biggest gripe with California era (tour wise) was that they'd never play California songs..even after the album dropped. 1 minute ago, madgaz182 said: sometimes I hate the internet for the simple fact it’s all spoiled before it’s meant too Love/hate. We've all fallen victim to the impatience internet instant access brings. The best days for me were having to go MTV and wait for cool songs/videos to come out and then go to Limewire to download from there if you liked and then tune back in at the next hour and try not to miss the video. 1 minute ago, madgaz182 said: whats your nostalgia takes from things of yesteryear ? When youtube was still new (no ads, no much of anything but the videos and comments) and finding Dammit and Josie on there. Neighborhoods/DED isn't that old, but playing that on Youtube constantly in the dorm was a blast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess it was a hot rumor for a bit in the rock circles. Dave I think retracted it and said he wasn't sure, but it was literally the first time I had heard they even had a fight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 I think 'Go' was 'released' that way. First in a live session on the radio or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was played live first in Japan before the record came out as i recall. We all came on here to listen to a low quality recording of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Braveheart Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Can't remember when the Japan show was, but I know they also played it at Reading festival in 2003. (I would assume Leeds too) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
