Aileen Posted February 9, 2004 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 To be honest his drummin was fucking awesome throughout the entire gig so that made up for the lack of drum solo, but I was still fairly looking forward to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Congratulate his drum-tech and Slipknot's sound engineer then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest WalkingOnGlass Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 I'm sorry, but what are you kids talking about? Travis was outstanding last night...the single most impressive performance I've ever witnessed by a drummer...I've seen Slipknot and Tool...He was amazing, simply amazing..Blink could've played for longer, but the way you have to look at it is that, for the people who wanted to be their, the set was never gonna be long enough. I thought the gig was fucking awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian-The-Bassist Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 At the end of the day i think it does widely depend on who you prefer.For example Michael Buble is one of the greatest singers on the face of the planet today, but if i was to compare him to some guy from funeral on a thursday or whatever on singing merit, i would probably quickly be told i was wrong and the emo guy was by far superior.If you catch drift?

Guest Scott 5FD Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i thought it was excellent. not being a massive Blink fan, i was impressed with them live, altho i was hoping they'd play some more stuff from Dude Ranch and a bit longer.Motion City Soundtrack were rocking aswell i thought, i fairly enjoyed them.The Nervous Return were wank.

Murray Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 The nervous return were a heap of shit!! No good songs, no stage presence.Motion City soundtrack were alot better than what i thought they were going to be like, and their keyboardist had some super moves.Blink 182 were fucking incredible, i was in awwww the whole time. Travis was awesome, what the fuck are you guys on about? Joey from slipknot aint that great gumpy, sorry but it's a fact. Yeah the guy from tool is awesome but if you saw what travis was doing you would've been amazed! He played a small solo at the end but he kept saying to Mark that he'd play it later and to go onto the next song.Would've been very nice if they had played some more of the older stuff but hey, i'm not complaining as it was amazing.

Guest Tooms Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 Yeah the synth player from MCS was the only thing that kept me interested, he had some killer moves...but they were still wank!Travis was amazing! F.A.C.T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Scott 5FD Posted February 9, 2004 Report Share Posted February 9, 2004 i'm on fire, and now i think i'm ready, to bust a move a move, check it out i'm rocking steady, GO!kick-ass chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulscoconutass Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 What the fuck's everyone on about 'Travis never got a solo!!!111!' we're you's even listening????Just before they went of stage for the first time he ended one of the songs with at least a minute long drum solo - the only thing was that tom and mark we're makin' some noise with bass chords and guitar distortion - however i heard the solo - and it kicked ass.On whole - The gig was pretty avarage, 2 support bands put on the bill to make it look like blink are moving in a new direction (or as ben and i agree'd - for the 'cool factor') neither of them tickling my fancy - although the Motion City Soundtrack seemed to get a decent enough reception!!!!!Blink However - was worth the money just to see them. Their set was as tight as it's ever been, and they were all on fire. kinda got the feeling that a little bit of enthusiasm and crowd working was missing. The songs were all done beautifuly and some were rocked up to get the crowd going more. Stay together for the kids was amazing (I could have cried).... A bit miffed they never played Adam's Song, Carousell and only one song pre-enema. Also, as said they only played for a little over an hour, but what they did do was pure gold!!!!!!

Hog Posted February 10, 2004 Report Share Posted February 10, 2004 Gene Hoglan.. now he is a mans drummer!!!! (THAT SOUNDS A BIT GAY) He hits the drums with some force and he is fast along with some crazy twists! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
