Blink 182/FOB/PATD Tour

[And Hours Pass]

I saw the Blink/FOB/PATD tour last night and loved it. The interesting thing, however, was that I was expecting Blink to run away with the show and in my eyes they were shown up by FOB. I've seen them both live before and had found them both to be great, and maybe Blink's rusty, but after leaving the show it seemed like FOB should be back in the headline position where they belong rather than in a supporting role.

I love the line-up of this tour, but did anybody else think FOB performed better than Blink at your tour stop?

[emericagal182]

No

[Hockeywall]

I heard they were awful in Toronto[and that was said by someone who loves the band]

[zubinmoosa]

I heard they were awful in Toronto[and that was said by someone who loves the band]
yeah they were pretty bad...

[GuitarR0cker1]

I love Fall Out Boy but you're wrong here. Blink is better live. Besides this is a fucking Blink-182 reunion tour. As much as I want Fall Out Boy to have a tour based off of FUCT and TTYG, it won't happen.

[jwicklun]

I know I'm beating a dead horse, but Tom sounds awful live, compared to P. Stump. I'm seeing FOB and Blink in September so I guess I'll be the judge there.

[lbopm]

you're an idiot

[fly_guy]

They were great, yes, but this is Blink's reunion tour and besides that, Blink were bigger than Fall Out Boy ever will be.

[Inc.onsolable]

They were great, yes, but this is Blink's reunion tour and besides that, Blink were bigger than Fall Out Boy ever will be.

Some people haven't even herd of Blink where as FOB can be found n far many more homes and iPods. :D

What?! Dude what are you smoking, everyone has heard of blink, if anything its the other way around

[And Hours Pass]

You heard FOB or Blink were?

[And Hours Pass]

They were great, yes, but this is Blink's reunion tour and besides that, Blink were bigger than Fall Out Boy ever will be.
I know it's Blink's tour, I was just expecting them to be the best act I saw last night and they weren't. I saw Blink on the pop disaster tour when they toured with Green Day and I couldn't have been happier with their performance. Last night just wasn't up to snuff.

[PopPunkKid]

blink are extremely weak musically. Anyone who says blink is better musically than FOB is just in denial. Same with Panic.

Don't get me wrong, I love blink and think they write some great songs, but they are definetly not the best performers (aside from Travis).

[justinmfi]

Blink 182>PATD>FOB>Chester French

[PopPunkKid]

That's just false. Look at how many records blink have sold compared to FOB.

[Takk...Ros]

That's just false. Look at how many records blink have sold compared to FOB.
I don't think record sales are such a great judge though anymore to be honest (even though, I agree with you about blink being the bigger band.)
I was there last night too and thought Blink was great. FOB were amazing, but the energy and excitement that came with Blink made their set so much better. Plus, Travis is a fucking beast.
I don't think it matters that much though because I thought all four bands did really awesome. I wasn't very impressed with Chester French, but they definetly weren't as bad as I thought they were going to be.
Bottom line: Blink>FOB all things considered.

If you are talking about the MN show last night I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. Blink kicked FOB's ass, besides tom forgetting all the words. Plus we got to see Mark sing the end of First Date.

and the beginning of reckless abandon, which was awesome. he didn't do that in milwaukee

[realfakepunker]

blink killed it in milwaukee..... saw em in vegas and it just seemed wierd kinda forced but milwaukee ruled.... chester french are terrible tho :/ they try hard tho

[TurbulentCo]

I thought Fall Out Boy were okay at Milwaukee (Sober) and awesome at Chicago (Drunk). As for Blink I am way too biased to say anything other than great things about them.

[bradsonemanband]

at the Pop Disaster Tour a few years ago, Green Day played before Blink 182 and GD tooootally put on a better show. it made Blink look boring, which was surprising/disappointing. so i know how that can be.

[emericagal182]

haha, me too

[scormier2]

Assholes canceled the date I had bought presale tickets to, just to book a bigger show. Guess it's still all about money even if they could live the rest of their lives without working a day.

I am talking about the MN show last night, and there's not a chance blink was better other than Travis's solo. Tom forgot all the words, sung off-key every single time he opened his mouth, and recited the same line 18 times about how somebody fucked their dad (whether it was mark or a random guy in the audience). I'm a big blink fan, but they were 100x better on the pop disaster tour with green day some time ago than they were last night. At Pop Disaster they played the songs well, were a hell of a lot funnier on stage (Mark even made a picnic on stage with a fan from the audience with a picnic basket and blanket), and were working hard. Last night felt like coasting.

Fall Out Boy played with energy, hit the songs perfectly, and got the crowd moving. I'm sorry, but I just don't agree with you.

the real question is how were you sober in milwaukee.....

[tomakebelieve]

All I have to say is Travis's solo was so amazing. I've never seen anything better than that, haha.

[emericagal182]

definitely. it seems like it was shorter last night than it was in milwaukee though

[Hockeywall]

That'd be to add a second Toronto date[aug 8 date], that sucks for you man.

[Gardenhead]

ITT: Which pile of shit smells better?

[Posthardcore]

I'm seeing them tomorrow! I am sure they will be way better than fall out boy

[TurbulentCo]

the real question is how were you sober in milwaukee.....

Weekday...Job.

[jwicklun]

fall out boy has improved performance-wise.

[superBMRuth]

uhhh, what? even if they're a bit rusty, there's no way Fall Out Boy could headline with Blink supporting. That's as likely as Metallica being on a tour that Unearth was headlining. Legends play last.

[CollectiveConfusion]

Some people haven't even herd of Blink where as FOB can be found n far many more homes and iPods. :D

belligerent.

[xtheaudition]

yeah are you fucking kidding me? no one even talked or mentioned fob after the chicago show and their from chicago!!!

you noob you!

-shakes fist-

[And Hours Pass]

I will forever ponder how you could have interpreted my comment as me suggesting that Blink should open for FOB... It's baffling.

[TangledUp]

I love the line-up of this tour, but did anybody else think FOB performed better than Blink at your tour stop?
FOB's set vs the first half of blink's set = no
FOB's set vs the second half of blink's set = hell yes

I had the Milwaukee show where Tom was drunk off his ass and stopped playing/played shitty/sang shitty.

[RecklessXRandy]

After blink started playing I totally forgot about all the other bands.

[Paulb-182]

At the times I have seen blink in the past I've completely forgotten they had a support act most the time

[superBMRuth]

well, it was this.
but after leaving the show it seemed like FOB should be back in the headline position where they belong rather than in a supporting role.
and a few other comments from others. sorry if i misinterpreted what you were saying

were you at the st. paul show? fob was good, but blink took the show no doubt. the best thing about FOB's set was their light-up guitars, though

[TangledUp]

Not me. I love Fall Out Boy.

[emericagal182]

that was awesome

[SixOneOne]

No, just no. FOB had to be the worst live act I've seen in my life. Having to wait through them to see blink is my definition of torture.

[popdisaster00]

that was awesome
I was pretty jealous.

[popdisaster00]

No, just no. FOB had to be the worst live act I've seen in my life. Having to wait through them to see blink is my definition of torture.
They were a lot more fun than Panic.

My main complaint with FOB's set was basically nothing from Folie a Deux

[And Hours Pass]

well, it was this.

and a few other comments from others. sorry if i misinterpreted what you were saying
Oh I just meant that they should be a headliner on a tour. I didn't mean they should headline a tour that also had Blink on it. At the end of the day I was happy with the show, I guess I just wished that Blink put more effort in. I couldn't be happier to have gotten to see their reunion show. I think I just expected more.

[scormier2]

That'd be to add a second Toronto date[aug 8 date], that sucks for you man.

Yep. You got it. We rarely ever get good concerts here in Maine too.

[And Hours Pass]

were you at the st. paul show? fob was good, but blink took the show no doubt. the best thing about FOB's set was their light-up guitars, though

I was at the xcel energy center in MN. The light-up guitars were pretty sweet. I had seen them use them before, but it's still always fun when they bring them out. I also gained a lot of respect for them that they would stop mid-song to make sure a fan wasn't hurt. There are a lot of bands that wouldn't have even noticed... or cared.

No, just no. FOB had to be the worst live act I've seen in my life. Having to wait through them to see blink is my definition of torture.

If you think FOB is the worst act you've ever seen, you need to go see more shows.

Glad somebody else felt that way too.

Agreed with you on them stopping show. Were you in the pit? I was at the front left side, pretty much right in front of Hoppus' mic stand.

i was front right side, infront of tom., surrounded by a bunch of d-bag drunk bros singing the wrong words the whole night

[popdisaster00]

haha, yikes. yeah don't worry i was by a lot of slutttts. where in wisconsin do you live?

I wish! I had gotten my tickets through work so I couldn't get GA. I tried sneaking down several times but the ushers wouldn't let me. The last FOB show I was at I was in the pit. It can get fierce down there. I'm just really glad that FOB cared enough to stop. And I was shocked at how well they picked it back up right in the middle of the song. I've played a lot of shows and can't imagine I would've been able to get back in as well as they did.

Is it wrong that now I really wish I was where you were standing?

that would've been really annoying as well.
i live in a really small town you've probably never heard of in southeastern wisconsin about 40 minutes east of milwaukee. if you know where whitewater is it's really close to that. but in two weeks i'll be living in st paul because i'm starting school at mcnally smith college of music

[TangledUp]

I live in southeastern Wisconsin too though- so I might know it! And I also knew someone who went to that school.

it's called eagle population 1,000 something and absolutely nothing to do! luckily waukesha and milwaukee aren't too far away.

how'd they like it? i went to a week long camp there last summer and absolutely fell in love with the school and the environment. i'm going for music business hoping to get into band/artist management

Very cool. Actually I live in Menomonie right now and I go to UW-Stout. I know of whitewater, but have never been there. I had a buddy who went to mcnally smith. He liked it a lot. You'll have a lot of fun, but I think you'll find that minneapolis > st paul.

It wasn't all bad. Actually I preferred being in a crowd of tiny girls versus being around a bunch of big sweaty dudes

I know Eagle! Well heard of it anyway. :-) I live in Brookfield, Waukesha's next door neighbor.

He loved it! The location the school is in is so ace. I love Minneapolis - that's where I went to school, too. The city, not the school. I went to

that's good, i'm pretty excited. and yeah from what i've seen the times i've gone up there minneapolis seems to be a lot more lively and has a lot more to do than st paul

Brookfield stinks haha, I hope to move into an apartment in downtown Milwaukee. I love the city.

The U is an amazing school. It was always my top choice. When I got in (very near the end of my senior year, I waited all year for a response), I cried. I cried on my first day and on my last - I loved that school and that city just as much on my last day as I did my first.

Nice! I was more of an Uptown girl myself. I lived in Uptown my senior year of college. Dinkytown's legit, too. I always think of Bob Dylan. :inlove: I love Varsity Theater and Loring's Pasta Bar. /nostalgic

[emericagal182]

well compared to eagle brookfield's like nyc, haha. but milwaukee is awesome.

and i know what you mean, it took me a while to get my acceptance letter too and it felt amazing to finally get it

Milwaukee IS awesome. Minneapolis is by far my favorite city in the county, followed by Los Angeles (which I lived near once) and Washington DC but Milwaukee definitely is my home.

I got rejected in October.. then waitlisted in December.. then didn't get accepted until May. It was so ridiculous!

Well Uptown is sketchy in certain areas.. I lived near Lyndale and 24th, if you know where that is. A couple blocks off of Lyndale toward Hennepin (Lyndale and 24th is where Leaning Tower is, if you've been there). That area was fine! :-(

[Posthardcore]

Panic sucked ass tonight! Fall out boy did a tribute to Journey with the lead singer of Panic. They were way better than before. Blink 182 stole the fuckin show! One of the best shows i have ever went to, hands down. Mark even trashed cobra starship because Tom put on some scene chicks yellow sunglasses
