From last nights Blink 182 concert @ the RG. [video=youtube;DLMjrtlXeGE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLMjrtlXeGE[/video]
Great staging behind him, but I don't think Neil Peart is quaking in his boots. Very cool, regardless. Thanks for passing it on! How did you record that video?
The effects were pretty cool. Normally, I hate these "off the cuff" jam sessions at concerts, but I'm sure Blink probably just did this one. My wife and I went to a DMB concert four or five years ago, and they literally did these five minute jam sessions after songs that went on and on. I felt a little bit ripped off after the show. I guess a lot of people dig that kind of thing, but I'd rather hear songs that I know and not essentially an extended practice session from the guitarist's basement, only with pyrotechnics and big screens.
Barker is the only talented musician in Blink182. I saw them about 6 years ago at the Memorial Coliseum and they did the same things. They had Barker's kit on a turntable and had flames all around him, with a big flaming "FUCK" in the background. Was right after 'Take Off Your Pants and Jacket' was released.
