Sydney Show- 7th Of September. (pic below) By Khiara Gannaway! Well what can i say about this show apart from the fact it was fucking awsome, blink 182 rocked to shoes off every member of that audience, leaving them with a FANTASTIC feeling that will last a life time. The show was the typical blink 182 rock show, great music and fully gags and sick house jokes. During the interval, the teen age rocks creating a GREAT audiences, stood and sat wait inpatietly for the band to make their way to the stage. As the lights went down roars filled the room, the boys started with the hell good song Feeling this, lights rose and there were the three hotties themselves. Apparently we, the audience, were better then melbourne, said by Tom Delonge him self, followed by him metioning that "Melbourne can suck my dick, sofly and slowly, like his mum (points at Mark)" During one of the songs, Tom being the show off that he is jumped around on stage only to find himself on his butt. After the song.. Typically the boys made a joke about it followed by a nice friendly hug shared between Mark and Tom. Tom and Mark, ganged up on Travis, saying stuff like.. "hey we're wearing green shirts, wheres your shirt Travis" This wasnt all, Rodeny the superviser, was picked on to by the boys, for wearing a hat on stage and according to them thats rude. And Dammit, well, can you imagine, the croud was moshing harder then ever, screaming top of their lungs. Went the show ended, the audience stood, eger for more, only to find mark alone on the stage doing solos and the guitar and drums, and really i never knew he was that talented. I think all round this is a show that i will remember!!!!
Review on Wedesday the 8th Blink 182 concert written by Zaba
ALWAYS!!!
It's fitting that the title of the new Blink-182 single connotes permanence. The release of "Always" has given the band's year-old untitled album unprecedented longevity.
"It's the first time we've ever had four singles," singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge explained. "[This album] is like 'The Little Engine That Could.' We even talked about a fifth single. We've never done this before. It is kind of weird that we're still around."
Since the band's sixth album dropped last November, it's yielded the singles "Feeling This," "I Miss You," "Down" and "Always," which is expected to surface at radio next week. Should there be another cut culled from the album, the band hopes it would be "All of This." Simple showing off is chief among their rationale.
"We would love it because it's a bad-ass song, and [the Cure's Robert Smith] sings on it," DeLonge said. "And that makes us cooler than everybody else." Blink-182 may have grown up on their latest, comparatively darker album, but they're obviously not above some juvenile jibbing. Like just about everything off the new album, "Always," a revved-up plea for making up after breaking up, bears nearly no resemblance to the songs off the trio's previous albums. However, an uptempo backbeat combined with a New Romantic-era keyboard does position the tune as something of a throwback. "It's kind of a love song," DeLonge said. "It's got kind of an '80s thing. It's not a dance song, but if you were to dance to it, you'd look like you were right out of '85." The song's special-effects-laden clip, however, couldn't have been hatched 19 years ago. Directed by Joseph Kahn (Nelly, Eminem), the video is displayed as three horizontal panels in which a beautiful woman cavorts with DeLonge, bassist Mark Hoppus and drummer Travis Barker. However, the panels sever the onscreen participants in three. The woman appears as a fractured whole, while parts of the bandmembers combine to make one character. "It's like doing an algebraic formulation on paper when you watch it," DeLonge said. "It's the same kind of feeling ... but it's rad." It's probably a good thing that DeLonge and his bandmates have better things to do than describe their new video. The band is working on assembling a DVD for release next year with Estevan Oriol, who directed the "Down" video and has taken most of the band's album photography. DeLonge recently directed a video for Taking Back Sunday . Barker has already started work on the next Transplants album And at the end of the month, Blink-182 will head overseas for a two-week European trek. In the meantime, Barker can enjoy life as a new husband. He and Shanna Moakler wed on October 30 in a "Nightmare Before Christmas"-themed ceremony. Exchanging vows with the film's Jack Skellington as an unofficial witness makes sense considering how the couple got engaged. "I proposed to her at the haunted mansion in Disneyland when there was a 'Nightmare Before Christmas' theme, and she proposed back to me there," Barker explained. "So that was the whole motif of our wedding. It was inspired by it." "It was gorgeous," DeLonge interrupted. "It was the most fantastic event I ever been to. It was gnarly. It was beautiful. It was very Travis." "All my guys looked rad," Barker continued. "My son and I had matching tuxes. We had matching hair; he had a little mohawk. I surprised my wife, and had the blues artist Solomon Burke perform. I played drums with him. It was awesome."
