It has been a decade since Blink 182 became a mainstream band who flashed their naked bodies all over TRL in their What's My Age Again video. Since then, the band has gone through some turbulent times. Artistic differences caused Tom DeLonge to split from the band and join Angels and Airwaves while Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker went on to form the band +44. In 2008, a devastating plane crash happened involving Travis Barker and DJ AM; sadly, DJ AM passed away just recently from a reported drug overdose. Earlier this year, the band decided to regroup and go on tour. On September 6th, I had the amazing opportunity to see them live again. Along with opening acts Chester French, Taking Back Sunday and Weezer, Blink went on to perform one of the first shows since their friend DJ AM passed away. Blink 182 is back, and in my opinion, better than ever! Returning with the same dirty humor that we all fell in love with, Tom Delonge said he wanted to "do it with John Elway" only to suprise and plase thousands of fans in Denver. The music, of course, was amazing! They played all of my favorites, and I'm sure some of yours, too, including All The Small Things and Josie. I saw them about 4 years ago at the same venue and I must say, this concert was 200 times better with much more mature vocals and graphics. Travis Barker was definitely the highlight of the show, jamming out to songs and even doing a few solos. The encore was the best part of the show as Travis blew the audience away when he performed a solo on a flying drumset! If you've got the chance to see Blink 182 live, do it! It was well worth it! Tickets are available through Ticketmaster.com. Here are some upcoming dates and locations: Sept. 12th- Wheatland, CASept. 13th- Mountain View, CASept. 14th- Bakersfield, CASept. 23rd- Dallas, TXOct. 4th- New York City
