I wouldn't make it back from Vegas if I went to this festival. I'm being 100% serious.
Concert talk: Are you middle aged and missed the Warped Tour?

- Start date
Was your Goldfinger show Dotfest II at the Ankeny Airfield? Everclear, Marcy Playground, Fastball and some wackos in red jumpsuits calling themselves Slipknot opened the whole show. That was the summer before my sophomore year of college.
Saw blink in Chicago over the weekend. They still very much have it. Would recommend. Tom pretended to give a blow job the first 15 seconds on stage. Mark looks rough, chemo took a big toll on him.
Go again if you can. They are 10 times better now than they were then. They clearly have gotten over whatever was between them.
Lol well now that he's married to a Kardashian, I'm sure that will help your view of him. He came out Saturday night with so many diamond chains around his neck we had a debate about how much it was all worth. He's a different cat. Can still bang the hell of the drums though.
I was kind of "meh" on it until I started seeing all the Coachella clips. Now I think I have to find a way to track down tickets.
I've always liked Blink but man they are one of the worst live shows I've ever seen/heard.

I saw them back in ‘03 in a tiny venue in the Twin Cities. It was when the self titled album was coming out and they were huge, but they decided to play small venues for $1 a ticket.
It was a really cool gesture, I had a blast, but if I’m being honest they weren’t a great live band.
Still a great memory

I listen to a lot of heavy music and TB really sticks out as an influence on modern heavy drumming specially in new metalcore and electrocore. I don’t like his schtick but a really innovative drummer for sure.
I ended up considerably closer than where the seats I paid for were at so I couldn't tell due to how loud it was if they were singing poorly outside of a few times Mark's voice was way off. He has said publicly that chemo raised hell with his voice and I think he was using autotune some which is lame but in context, the dude almost died so I think I'll give him a pass on that. I thought Tom actually sounded better than he ever has. I think I heard he'd been taking vocal lessons or something due to the rep they've always had like what your saying. But, hell, maybe he was using some autotune some too.
LOL why wouldn't they just call it a farewell tour at this point instead of wording it that way?
Might have to see them if it were to work out.
I saw them too or 3 times at small venues in Des Moines, and I think they were at Dotfest one year. You bet I was there.
Saw them literally only 2 or 3 years ago... and honestly had a ball.
