JarJarBlinks Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 2 minutes ago, Champ182 said: Option 1: Travis travels to South America for a month with Blink and a substitute drummer but just plays tambourine for a song, or says thanks to the crowd each night = Incredibly heartwarming, coolest possible scenario, 0.0001% chance of ever even being considered. Option 2: Blink haphazardly cancels the shows while Travis pretends nothing ever even happened = Gigantic letdown, fits right in with post 2004 Blink. I mean we can get pissed that they didn't decide to do the incredibly heartwarming dream scenario, but it was never ACTUALLY a realistic scenario in the first place. I just wish they figured out something cool to do that exists in the wiiiiiiiiiiide gap between those two options. option 3: Travis simplifies the songs and plays like he did for +44. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"he's not as young as he used to be!" true and true. arguably the best rock drummer in the world....at the time of original injury it was early Feb; could have lessened the damage and only cancelled a couple of shows instead of the entire run. They had plenty of time. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Short acoustic sets with some easy drumming. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 The Travis dickriding on reddit is insane, I was reading a topic where an user tried to criticize Travis last week and they ended up deleting their reddit account because of the bullying, while we're all here advocating for South America like our lives depend on it, and we didn't even get a new South American board member 💔 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find a different way to contribute? On 2/28/2023 at 2:24 PM, Ghent said: He could be a DJ or something and stand back there with a turntable with drum tracks playing. On 2/27/2023 at 3:04 PM, Ghent said: Ok then hire a backup drummer and have Travis still come hang out on tour. On 2/28/2023 at 12:48 PM, Ghent said: I mean they could have hired a replacement and Travis still went with them and played certain parts one handed or whatever.

Ghent Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 Damn, lots of good ideas from this Ghent cat, not one of which says to play injured or play one song with tambourine lol. Either way, looks like he put more thought into it than the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 I genuinely can't even tell what you guys are arguing for/against right now haha so fuck it. Ghent, you yourself made a dozen posts over the past week saying he should play tambourine, DJ at the back of the stage, do a celebrity appearance, play certain parts one handed, or just come and hang out, but then you say that NO ONE has mentioned anything like that...? Whatever, doesn't even matter anymore haha I guess I'll just bow out of this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 i can't for the life of me imagine travis with a tambourine, or acoustic sets for the band's first outing to south america. simplifying the songs is perhaps not as easy it seems. none of it makes sense, not least for the start of a monumentous reunion tour. now that i know the tickets aren't as easily refunded, the only reasonable option to me is find a fill-in, but that doesn't really make sense either. postponing is the only right choice, and it sucks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cmon dude. Play the tambourine or something. Bailing from these shows was a trash move. Wow, so much hate and vitriol directed at Travis, who is also producing the new album.

Champ182 Posted March 6 Report Share Posted March 6 look we're all family here but all jokes aside, the only Trav-bots I can even imagine are dudes who have white boy dreads and face tattoos and probably call Travis things like "unc" or "old head" because they learned 4 hip hop phrases by watching tik tok all day 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
