sgoodcore Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I was disappointed when I saw them recently. Tom didn't seem to give a shit about playing. Don't think I'll be paying to see Blink ever again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I'll be paying to see Blink ever again. not getting tickets to those shows was a great decision for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 I'd go see blink again. Hopefully it won't be at a shitty amphitheater for their next tour. The best would be them as a special headliner for warped and they get 1 hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davezer Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 They were terrible in Hartford when I first saw them, but then again, it was they day they found DJ AM dead. They didn't talk or anything between songs and when they did it was crying. Saw them about a month later at Madison Square Garden and they were awesome. Tom was being himself which was awesome to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dynamitekid Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 I saw them on the recent tour and they played way better than I have ever seen them play but all the dialogue seemed so forced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forgeagain Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 The live stuff I saw on TV (various late night shows - Kimmel, etc.) was so bad. Not only do they sound absolutely awful live because they don't have a second guitar, Tom's vocals have to be a joke. He's doing the shit so tongue in cheek. It's like he's parodying himself. Don't get me wrong, they both have awful non-studio voices, but Mark is at least trying to hit those notes. Tom is up there practically rolling his eyes while singing. So bad. I haven't seen them live in probably 9 or more years and I doubt I ever will again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaggle Von Swift Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 saw them in August for free and thought they were horrible. the 'jokes' were way too forced and corny. i'll still listen to Dude Ranch every once & a while, but overall, i've grown up & moved on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamlikesmusic Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I thought they were great in Phoenix. Tom went a bit overboard with the "I fucked your dad" jokes, but the music was all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headtowall Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 i thought they were okay in CT, but great in West Palm Beach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edgefest Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 The promotor I work for booked two of their shows on the last tour. Today we randomly got a large vinyl bunny toy in in the mail signed by all three of them with a card that said thanks for making the tour a success. I thought that was pretty cool because I have never seen another band send out something like that before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travis Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 I saw them on their tour at an outdoor ampitheater and it sounded ok. I was just stoked to see Blink live again so I had a great time. Right afte the tour ended they played the Palladium in Hollywood and that was awesome. They sounded a lot better at that show. Ive seen them 4 or 5 times before they broke up and every time they sounded really good except for the last time which was the Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day and they sounded like shit. Every time before that (including once with Scott on drums) they sounded awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
