Blink 182

[kev1664]

I'd be happy to watch them again If I end up going. They were great in 2010 and they had the biggest crowd of all three headliners. They got a lot of great reviews.

It was pretty much like this on here the last time they were announced, they were ridiculed for their live performances, dick jokes and immature songs (even though the untitled moved away from that stuff and was a brilliant album in itself.

When the festival came around they smashed it, yeah it was rough around the edges but it was a great, entertaining performance. For anyone thinking of seeing them, don't be put off by the negative comments in the other threads.

I really enjoyed 2010, and I've seen them a couple of times at their own gigs over the years and they have been great. Very excited to see them again

Decent enough choice, will have two new albums of songs to add to the setlist from when they last played.

I've said on here, I wasn't much of a fan than drunkenly singing along to What's My Age Again? but they really impressed me last year at the o2.

Wonder if they will end up doing the self titled in full? (If they got the longer set, they could do it + hits and new stuff)

surely Untitled in full won't make any sense by next year as it will've been 11 years since it's release. if they're gonna do that, why not just do Enema Of The State in full for it's 15th anniversary? or any other album in full?

as you said, they'll have a new album out by then (as well as Neighbourhoods) so they'll have plenty of new stuff to play since last time (although how successful their new album will be is another story - not as successful as expected i reckon)

I reckon it'll be a lot more successful now they're headlining

They were sooooo good at brixton in 2012. They did a small acoustic setlist which is something I'd like to see at Reading. Dicklips and Reckless Abandon is a must

[giantwagon]

Just bought my ticket and can't wait to see Blink, they've been on my must-see list (along with Arctics) for ages!

[Matt42]

if they get their arse into gear, get a good album out, with a good lead single, Get radio one support and maybe try and be Blink 182 again, I can see this being more warmly welcomed.

lol what

Do you have Twitter?

I assume he means go back to the dick jokes and joke songs on albums?

I really hope we get untitled in full, but I can't see it happening.

i know a lot of people want them to go back to that type of sound, but it would sound so ridiculous. this isn't the 90's / early 00's, and they aren't in their 20's anymore. at Leeds in 2010 every time Tom made a dick joke it was cringeworthingly horrible. think they just about nailed their mature sound with Untitled. it's just where they could go next (as Neighbourhoods, imo, sounded like a total re-tread of Untitled with little to no development)

[Com Truise]

I really liked Neighbourhoods to be honest, it wasn't great, but it was enjoyable, and very far away from their first few albums. Going back to their early sound would be a complete disaster.

it wasn't a bad album at all. i was rather pleased with it, but have had no desire to go back to it since it's release. would rather go back to Untitled if i wanted that sound from Blink as they did it much better on that album

I really enjoy their old sound. Best bet would be Untitled sort of stuff. Even though it is not my favourite album it is more sensible. When Green Day did with the shitty trilogy, the old style songs were quite a treat and the best of the pile of shit that surrounded them. Wouldn't work for Blink though

[TenInchToenaiIs]

I dunno if you guys listened to the 'Dogs Eating Dogs' EP they released this time last year, but it was really good and something a bit different. Sort of like a mix between AVA and Untitled sound. With a guest spot from some rapper. Well worth checking out

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Also, if they could play touchdown boy i would die but it's never gonna ever happen

[Andre91]

I'd love to hear Dysentery Gary, Going Away To College, Anthem and The Party Song. Enema Of The State is a great album. Please Take Me Home and a couple of rarer tracks from Take Off Your Pants And Jacket would be incredible also.

The last of their Untitled shows had an absolutely incredible setlist, if they carry on in this style bringing back old stuff it will be perfect

I had been waiting to see them around 10 years in 2010 so naturally, i loved it.

Probably not going to happen as people will want stuff like All The Small Things and What's My Age Again (I'm one of them). It also doesn't include Adams Song which is my favourite Blink song

[Com Truise]

All The Small Things can get tae fuck, as Simon would say

[Andre91]

Adam's Song would be so awesome.

To add something different to the thread, what's everyone's top five favourite Blink songs ?

1. Feeling This

2. First Date

3. Violence

4. Please Take Me Home

5. Not Now

[Com Truise]

Pretty hard to narrow down, but if these 5 were played I'd be over the moon

1. What's My Age Again?
2. Stay Together For the Kids
3. Don't Leave Me
4. Dammit
5. Adam's Song

[TenInchToenaiIs]

Dicklips

Touchdown Boy

Stockhold Syndrome

Go

Give me one good reason

I'd be surprised if we get 2/5

[Andre91]

Good list. I found it SO hard to narrow it down too.

What would be your five LEAST favourite if you had to choose ?

1. All The Small Things

2. Love Is Dangerous

3. Give Me One Good Reason

4. This Is Home

5. Story Of A Lonely Guy
