The band certainly hasn't lost the sophomoric banter it's known for.
Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker had a wildly successful world tour last year, and are riding that wave with the One More Time Tour, which came to. The venue was packed, with many audience members appearing as though they'd stepped out of a time machine straight from 2003, with Vans slip-ons, Etnies, cargo shorts and many Warped Tour T-shirts.
That was also the case with DeLonge and Hoppus, who still exchange the same sophomoric banter that is just as funny now as it was in the early 2000s . That's the SoCal suburban skater-punk attitude that made Johnny Rotten call the group a"comedy act." And while many other punk-rockers have accused Blink of selling out, it's worth noting that the band's fans are still eager to buy in. The sheer volume of screaming and singing along at Ball Arena made that very clear.
an intense array of sprawling drum solos. It's as if Hoppus and DeLonge have accepted that Barker is the band's bastion: The stage was centered around the drum set, and for several songs, Barker was suspended in the air above the two as he unleashed on his kit as an indisputable overlord of the band. He's an indefatigable human metronome, driving each of the band's songs and providing a needed technical prowess to supplement otherwise monotonous chord structures.
As fireworks burst out from around the drums, the crowd went wild...and stayed wild all night. The band finished off the set with a burst of hits, including"What's My Age Again?,""First Date" and"All the Small Things.
