Kay Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 I fucking hope Mark pretends it doesn’t exist like he did with Neighbourhoods. Sorry not sorry, the skiba era was full of fucking wank songs, when I finally get to see the live for the first time I will be chuffed as fuck if I don’t have to sit through fucking Bored To Death or Darkside or any of the other drivel they released in that period, would actually rather hear First Date 3 times in a fucking row. We’ll see what happens tonight I guess. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I enjoyed the Matt era songs more than most here but yeah with Tom back I don't care if they never get played again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom's last show with the band was this date : 10/11/2014: The band performs at MGM Resorts Village (Wine Amplified Festival) in Las Vegas, Nevada. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted April 14, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 it is pretty shocking it’s been that long. i remember that gig being another run of the mill vegas gigs they seemed to do each fall. another boring sloppy greatest hits set, nothing special. i had no idea how much it would implode in just a few months! was an exciting time to finally see mark take a stand and assert some control over the band. and while the skiba era was not great, it was a huge step to evening out some old grudges i feel like. i guess we’ll see tonight. i’m excited for the show! it only feels right to be back with tom again honestly, and however they perform, it’s the way it only could and should be. 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Champ182 Posted April 14, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 It sucks that Travis broke his finger and they had to cancel the first part of the tour.... but damn how cool is this?? Haha. The first reunion show is a sudden surprise show that's gonna be live streamed for everyone to see together? So tight. I made plans to watch together with a friend tonight, we're both stoked, it feels like a holiday. 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Woods Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 1 hour ago, Scott. said: How the fuck was it nominated for a Grammy 😂 what a terrible year for music fuck me Staying in the punk genre albums like Simplicity (Bouncing Souls), Protection (Face to Face), The Revenge of the Fifth (Belvedere) or State Is Burning (Useless ID) are definitely superior to California. In the rock genre in that year excellent albums were released such as American Band (Drive-By Truckers), Skeleton Tree (Nick Cave)... unfortunately Grammy's nominations often follow market dynamics that go beyond the artistic value. I was referring to this, talking about the blink paradox: their only album that has been nominated for the Grammy Awards is the least relevant artistically in their discography and the least considered by the fans and perhaps by themselves (maybe). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickay Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 The closer it gets the more inclined I am to stay up for it. 🤘🏻 The problem is I’ll definitely fall asleep on the couch by 1am 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like he pretended Neighborhoods didn't happen when Matt was around. It would be really interesting to hear Tom sing Matt's song, but probably not going to happen. I'm pretty sure they also played Wishing Well. Which is 100% a Tom song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManchesterAdam Posted April 14, 2023 Report Share Posted April 14, 2023 Gutted that I’ll probably never get to see San Diego live. Would easily make it into my top 10 favourite Blink songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
