aredblush | Blink182 live in Bologna (Reply)

Are you ready for another lousy recap? I think this one will be lousiest of all! All my reactions can be summed up like this: YOU GUYS! GUUUUUUYYYYYSSSSS! ;____________; I can't even!

Long story short of how K and I got to Bologna: the train was supposed to leave at 10:30, but a carriage broke down and so we left at 11:30. We spent the trip indulging a lady who asked too many questions and then jinxed us by saying "Well, here's hoping this day will end better than the way it started". Damn you, train lady! Damnn you! We ended up catching the wrong bus and then had to do a complete turn-around and once we arrived at the arena, all the spot in the shades were all taken already. Ah, well. At least we got some tan...

Anyway, faily recap! This time the failiness is brought to you by the fact that I don't know the name of a single member of Simple Plan nor Sum 41. Ain't I cool?

Here's a small portion of the people in attendace at 5 pm. According to the news, there were 40000 people by the time Blink182 took the stage around 9:30

Simple Plan stage setup

See the tiny red spot centre stage? That's the singer!

As much as I don't listen to Simple Plan, they were quite enjoyable. I was pleasently surprised :)

The people in this band seems pretty nice. They chatted a lot with the audience and are quite good playing live.

If anyone's interested, they played a song from their upcoming album called "You Suck At Love".

You won't see it here, but at some point someone inflated a condom and then throwed it around like a ballon. The singer seemed preoccupied by the fact that there was a bouncing condom flying over the crowd.

Don't let the sunglasses fool you! He's a serious dude! He made sure to tell us that's not how you use a condom.

Sum 41! I know marginally more about them than Simple Plan. That is to say, I know that the singer is Avril Lavigne's ex-husband. You can start raging a me now.

The only thing in my favour is that at least I knew most of the songs they played

because I used to listen to them when I was in high school

but I was more interested in the music than the people who made it

and that's why I know next to nothing about them.

(bye bye Sum 41)

And now.... BLINK! This was the stage setup

Just before they came on stage, this banner was let down (I'm pretty sure it had something to do with the festival organization)

Boys up on the stage! You guys! 5 years! :DDD

Feeling This

(pretty colours)

The Rock Show

Miss You! Dedicated to the fans :')

We missed you too, guys ;___;

After "Miss You", they played "Stay Together For the Kids". You guuuuuuuyyyyyyys ç__ç I was pretty much in tears. You don't get pictures of that one because I made a video instead.
