I appreciate your optimism but we should do a wellness check after Tom has used blink to pimp a couple of movies/books, see where things are at that point. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean at this point I've seen them so many times I've lost track of the number of times I've seen them. I would instantly agree to more blink albums over ever seeing them live again 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I think Travis is just being selfish, in fact it’s offensive to all other 9 fingered drummers that he even wants to heal, such a fascist. Who was being sarcastic? Maybe one comment , yikes. The rest of this are people here being baby back bitches thinking blink owes them anything, or that we call the shots. Sorry to say, but blink is a business, and the owners of that business get to call the shots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could sleep very well at night without having ever heard edging or getting more generic bullshit.

kibbles Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 I spent like $120 or something on two pit tickets for summerfest a few years ago which they cancelled, this time it was over $1000 for pit tickets for the same official seats.

I haven’t had the chance to see them 100’s of times over the years. They’ve been here once since 2004. Everybody deserves a chance to see them live. Fair enough, but at least you've gotten to see them, unlike anyone in SA that couldn't travel to the states. Those poor bastards 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those poor bastards I am lucky to have seen them at all. But I don’t want to never see them again. I’m saying not everyone has had the chance to see them so many times they don’t care anymore. I’ve never seen mark tom and Travis, had brooks in aus and skiba when I saw them in Germany. I’ve been saying how shit this is for the SA fans this whole time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt. Posted February 28 Report Share Posted February 28 Blink from ‘98 would have hired a couple of midgets to fill in on drums and the show would have been legendary. This woke shit has gotten out of hand. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm fully with you. I don't think they're going to hate each other or fall apart. BUT, this tour is such a big deal BECAUSE it feels like an anomaly. Tom is suddenly sane again, they all fully get along again, it's incredible and heartwarming but it's definitely a little bit scary for fans! Haha. They went almost 20 years being paranoid and/or hurt and/or totally insane and/or in grave danger from various ailments and accidents. It's a miracle that they're doing so well right now, but it feels very delicate haha. It makes me grateful for this album and tour, but it doesn't really make me confident that this is the new norm and they're going to be perpetually touring and making music together again like a normal band. I get the sense that Ghent and Jar Jar are going the "sky is falling" cynical route because a lot of us shit on the Skiba era so often, and now they get to rain on this parade like we did during that time haha. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way off base here for me. I wanted Tom back and always said as much. I've actually not been posting in this section for months because I trusted things were on track and they were being responsible again. I want them to succeed with Tom and have no special loyalty to Matt Skiba 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since the recording of Untitled with the rented houses they have missed deadlines, broken up, reunited, missed more deadlines, cancelled shows etc etc. IMO you'd be naive to believe that everything is going to work out at this point, it's more likely eventually something will fall apart and we'll be right back at square one. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the announcement tomorrow will be it’s canceled but I don’t actually think they sat on their hands and don’t give a shit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Elisa Posted February 28 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 28 I'm sorry this happened to South America, but I fucking love this thread. If the Reddit crowd read these posts, they would implode and Mark's discord would scream, cry and throw up. 4 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
