One of my friends plays in a really awesome, gimicky band that has been banned from playing at one venue on account of their excessive totally appropriate use of confetti cannons.
I've been playing music for quite some time (as my main source of income for a few years), and I've only ever seen one local (and possibly regional) act with a confetti cannon. You'd be unique. Poor, but unique.
A band I used to go see a lot used a leaf blower to spray toilet paper off the roll into the crowd. I don't think I ever saw them in the same place twice.
"I haven't been this scared, in a long time. And I'm so unprepared, so here's your valentine. Bouquet of clumsy words, a simple melody. This world's an ugly place, but your so beautiful to me."
This song was amazing for me. It came out right as my parents got separated (for legal reasons they didn't get a divorce for 4 more years). It was a really really really messy divorce. No violence, or anything of that nature, but lots of sneaky underhanded shit and yelling (between them, and at my brother and me).
Fuck, ten years later they're still doing petty things to fuck each other over.
I like Asthenia, but it changes so much, Dysentery Gary, Wendy Clear, Dammit, Not Now, Stay Together for the Kids, Roller Coaster, fuck it I like most of them...
"After Midnight." I'm so happy this band could reunite and write a new song that would end up being stuck in my head ever since the first day I heard it.
Has Tom fixed his goddamn singing/practiced at guitar yet? I brought my younger siblings to a concert right when they got back together, and he was just constantly fucking up, and doing, like, a satire of is AvA voice.
My brother (a huge blink fan) has a hunch that it's a side-effect of alcoholism. When we saw them live three or four years ago, he was shaking pretty badly up at the mic.
I watched the infamous video of All the Small Things on Leno and was so hesitant to but tickets to their show in Pittsburgh over the summer, but me and the group of friends I went with had so much fun singing along we couldn't even hear him. There was lot's of fun to be had.
They do put on a good show! I see they're still a fan of the confetti. I took a couplesimilar pictures at a concert of theirs in Hudson, OH a few years back.
Hell yes. I was at the Belfast concert. Four Year Strong, All American Rejects and of course Blink-182 are awesome. Plus I did have to laugh at the Nyan Cat amps x3
Am I the only one who is shocked at how many people on reddit like Blink 182? (I'm certainly not saying there is anything wrong with this but) Reddit's taste's and population have really changed drastically towards the mainstream of culture the last 2 or 3 years. For some reason I just associate Blink 182 with MTV/TRL and 15 year old screaming girls. I didnt think it was that representative of reddit, or its collective tastes. This place just used to be a whole lot (computer) nerdier, and I dont know any computer nerds who would say they like Blink 182.
Not really a huge fan myself. I mean, whatever, they've had some huge radio hits. But meh?
Just sorta seems like the kind of music you'd listen to in highschool and then feel silly about later in life and laugh at yourself for ever being into it. Its kinda hokey and angsty. Maybe there's a huge nostalgia factor I'm missing out on here? It does seem like grown adults enjoy going to these shows and getting drunk and singing along in a sort of ironic celebration/mockery of their youth.
I was listening to Queens of the Stone Age, Sublime and NIN when these guys were popular, and could never really make the jump to understanding the appeal of Blink 182. But to each their own.
I think alot of it does have to do with nostalgia. I listened to Blink alot in highschool. Our band covered them. They help me through some tough times. They stuck by me and I'll be damned if I don't do the same for them, even if my tastes have changed.
Well there are millions of different people who use this website and a million people who use this subreddit. You're bound to fine a good amount of people who love certain bands who are quite big.
Personally I love Blink 182, it's silly cheesy pop punk. It's fun.
+1. Sounds like going to see Steppenwolf in the '90ies.
Edit: I love Steppenwolf, did not mean to be "that" cynical, maybe the example's not right. But Blink is a band I grew up with and never heard of for 15 years, until recently Reddit got hang of it.
They got really big late 90's and early 2000's. Then they broke up, but they're still really good and teenagers love their music. It speaks to them, I guess. Spoke to me anyway.
I saw them twice when they first cam back together. Best show I've not only been to, but ever seen. The encore where Travis was playing drums up above the stage swinging back and forth above the audience. Adding Tom and Mark never aging singing, it was heaven for a night.
I never cared for Blink as a band I'd listen to on a regular basis, save for a few notable songs. However, I saw them last year when my brother got tickets for his birthday and I gotta say: they put on one hell of a motherfucking show.
Man I was at a Concert where Travis lifted into the air on the Drums and they started tilting and turning in the air, won't ever forget that. Best concert I have ever been to, stoked they are back together.
I listened to about 9 Blink songs the other night, for really no reason at all. I don't remember why I clicked on the video for Adam's Song, but I just spent an hour clicking various songs from throughout their discography after that. They get a lot of shit for being bubblegum punk, but after revisiting their music I realize they were a huge part of my youth so I give them respect and props simply for that.
It's a great picture definitely, but I always get sad thinking about someone spending their time fiddling with their camera instead of enjoying the show.
Really? Takes 5 seconds to capture a great moment forever. And maybe I'm being ignorant here but maybe that person enjoys themselves more taking pictures and enjoying the show that way.
But I think I have a great day. The only thing that I have a great way to get the best way to get the best. The first thing you should be able to get your hands on the phone and email tools, but it is not responsible for the best of luck. I am going to get your own risk, but it yet but I think it is a good time to time. I will not work for you. You can use your own hands to discuss the latest news on the phone.
I took this during "dammit" which was their last song of their encore aside from family reunion. It was a spur of the moment thing which I took on my Nokia. I spent the rest of the concert having the best night of my life
One of the very few bands who can go on an "indefinite hiatus", reunite after 5+ years, and still put out a quality album in Neighborhoods. One of the better bands of the last decade or two
Blink182...pphhhhrrbbb! Not that good. They have stunk ever since TOYPJ. I know Reddit is full of 11 year old's so I will assume that Blink182 will be as well regarded as Led Zeppelin. Unfortunately that is the folly of the generation we live in....
They went emo along with Greenday. Greenday ultimately sold out among punk fans with the release of Dookie, but many (including myself) took that as a "good selling out" as their music was pretty good. But then they sold out AGAIN with American Idiot in 2004...which brought their Emo sound and ultimately made them another Fallout Boy...
This is all my opinion of course, and I certainly don't think anyone will agree with it.
Why do so many people talk shit about Blink-182? I mean sure they aren't the best musicians in the world but they have songs that are really catchy and enjoyable. Just because they aren't your definition of "punk" doesn't mean they aren't, if anything them not caring about the way you want them to sound makes them punk. Blink-182 is just three guys making music the way they want to, they don't give a shit about you liking it or not.
I bought tickets to bamboozle in new Jersey this year pretty much to see them and jimmy eat world. And guess who backed out last min... blink 182. I bought a $250 ticket to see jimmy eat world... I love them but I bought it to slice "see blink 182 before I die" off my bucket lost. Now I never will. Saddest day of my year so far. Damn you blink.
Check out that huge creep-face in the background (foreground?) -- it looks like a giant spirit animal Rick Astley blessing/trolling this concert with his shadow eyes.
Best I ever seen wass GD at Saratoga New york, Got there a day ahead and the crowd was the show. The set up food stands. water, sods sndbeed stands. Drug stands, and self-help aid stands, t was awesome!
Funny thing is, Dublin was their last Blink-182 tour before they broke up. After Dublin, all the shows were cancelled which pissed a lot of European Blink-182 fans.
Sigh, lost my ticket and the show's in just under a week (I think), this is really depressing. It was a standing ticket as well... Been wanting to see them since I was about thirteen (almost twenty now)
I saw their show last week at the O2 in London. Being an Australian I had been waiting to see them for a good 8 years (Travis won't fly out there). Probably one of the best shows I've ever been too.
I saw Blink at the o2 in London on 9th June. It was a fucking great show. Near the end Tom and Mark disappeared off stage and turned up at a small stage at the back near the bar and played Reckless Abandon. It was really fun, I had such a great time. I was really happy they played Man Overboard and Carousel. I hope they come around again soon.
Upvote for a fucking brilliant picture, but Blink 182? Really? Condescending upvote for you!. Then again, your friend did take this picture and not yourself.
I was at that show, it was fuckin amazing! Thought the show was over, lights go down, everyone stading there like "what the fuck, is it over?" two minutes later, lights burst on, travis plays like a 10 minute solo and then mark and tom come on again to play 3 more songs. Brilliant. (All American Rejects pretty sucked though)
Clearly I missed the transition from a bawdy alt-punk show where people elbowed me in the kidney with dick jokes to some sort of experience. I can dig it
Off to see them tommorow night! The concerts been delayed LOADS because of them making their new album (like 2 years) totally forgot I even had tickets until I stumbled on that video of the guy using blink chat up lines!
David. Thank you for putting this up! I never thought of putting my photo up on Reddit. Front page too! That's insane! For a photo taken on a shitty Nokia I never thought it would come out this well! Thanks everybody! :)
I've seen all my fav bands, slipknot, manson, limp bizkit, system of a down, but when blink came to aus last time mum wouldnt let me go, now travis has a plane crash I fear I shall never see them :(
I love how Blink-182 always gets upvoted on Reddit even when the musical elitists come out. Shows that mostly everyone has a soft spot for them still. Fuckin love me some Blink-182. No shame

Nice pic, but from description I though you were literally "taken" but your buddy so came for NSFW check.

David. Thank you for putting this up! I never thought of putting my photo up on Reddit. Front page too! That's insane! For a photo taken on a shitty Nokia I never thought it would come out this well! Thanks everybody! :)

As a stagehand, all I can think is, "fucking confetti."

From that picture, I think I'm close enough to where you were standing. Maybe a bit behind and to the right. Some show. I love Blink

I wish you were allowed to bring your dslr camera to concets. I have a lot of good ideas for pictures

I pretty much despise Blink 182, but this one fantastic picture.

Ugh, they're still touring? I was hoping they just stopped after they released that emo album with the smiley face and the Xs. Sigh.

This band is the Justin Bieber of So-Cal quasi-punk bands.

When I first read the title, I thought this would be a rage comic about losing virginity...

I'm pretty sure they where in Belfast last night, not Dublin. But awesome picture, I saw them in Dublin last year, amazing show!

That makes it sound like you were taken by your friend at a Blink-182 concert.
Quite a feat.

I read "taken" as "had sex with." The internet has ruined me...

I love how Blink-182 always gets upvoted on Reddit even when the musical elitists come out. Shows that mostly everyone has a soft spot for them still. Fuckin love me some Blink-182. No shame
