Probably, I’ve been blocked by that fucker for 5+ years it’s been so long I have no idea. Most likely called out their bullshit when they were shit talking mark and then became a cum guzzler.

Damn I must’ve missed the Mark shit-talking. What a douche

[Dylan_]

Mark said tonight’s show was the best show ever. Italians must be one hell of a crowd.

He definitely says ‘best show ever’ after every show. But I do think he was genuinely pleased with the response from the crowd during Dance with Me.

What are your thoughts on the likes of On Some Emo Shit?  Or are we just dwelling on their worst songs?  If so, let's celebrate This is Home!!! (Sorry Ghent, Uh-uh-I've always hated this one, and you know that lol).

Absolutely, no denying that they are fucking back in full-force.  I don't know why we're trying to continue to splinter the fanbase, when for the most part we're all loving the latest new material.

On some emo shit is my favorite song on nine actually, the only song on nine I’ve listened to in years.

Tom is our messiah. We had a lot of sadly mistaken posters in denial during the Skiba era. Daddy has come home and set them straight though

It’s just what ‘blink’ is. Tom’s voice/influence is unmistakable. Even when Mark was more the ‘leader’ of the band in the earlier days, he was bouncing off ideas off Tom.

it’d be like Green Day losing Billie Joe, or Nirvana losing Kurt. Not a ton of 2 lead vocalist bands out there, another reason why they were/are so cool.

yin and yang.

 

I am hoping we get some moments with Mark, but I feel like letting Tom lead this album makes perfect sense. Probably spent from Cali deluxe-Nine and then his chemo if we’re being honest.  Said it himself. 

[Jan Mortensen]

Diddy likes the song.  Can confirm.  Must have been the Stockholm amp they used at the end.

It happened and I didn't know it because Instagram wasn't loading at the arena so we didn't see Travis' post and had no idea DWM and OMT were in the setlist!
I was blown away when Tom said "I can't believe I'm doing this, we're playing this song for the first time ever" and it was DWM. The crowd was so wild with the olès, it felt like the song had been out for weeks, not just 24 hours. It was incredible.

During Dammit my friends threw me in the air, first time crowdsurfing at a blink show ? when Dammit was over everyone was starting to leave, but Mark, Tom and Travis came back on stage and Tom said "this song is about us" and played OMT. Tom sounded great on OMT at soundcheck today when they played it twice so I don't know why his voice cracked and couldn't sing it earlier, but I guess they were really drained at that point, I've never seen Mark and Tom play with this kind of energy and they even exceeded the usual 90 minutes, they played for 105 minutes tonight (!!!)


I knew this show was going to be great, but I didn't know it was going to be THIS GREAT. They sounded amazing, then the banter and the stupid things they said. They were really the band we fell in love with when we were younger. It was never like this when I saw them on the untitled tour and all the other times during the first reunion.

Italy didn't disappoint, crazy sing along, everyone in the crowd was dancing and moshing, they sang all the riffs lol (on anthem pt 2 it was so comical but I loved it ?) and I could see that Mark and Tom loved the crowd. They were in a bit of disbelief when everyone sang MTYK and DWM so loud.

I bawled my eyes out during all Adam's Song because of Mark's speech, but for the rest of the time I had this huge smile on my face and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. They have the world on the palm of their hands right now, we're really living one of their best eras.
Best show ever of my favorite band ❤

I'm writing here because we're talking about DWM and OMT  live, tomorrow I'll post some pics and videos on the tour thread.

I don't know if there is any implication of this happening, but I would really be interested in a Mark song addressing the cancer and his flirtation with death.  When Mark gets dark, I'd argue that is where he is at his best, and when it's personal that makes his music all the better.  The WYHSB album comes from some pretty dark places, and I would argue that it makes it all the better of a listen from start to finish.
