Jinko writes "I have just been at Independent Days (3 september 2000), a big concert in Italy with the following bands: Muse, No use for a name, punkreas, verdena, millencolin, deftones, limp bizkit and, to close the concert, Blink182. It was a weird lineup mixing new metal and punk bands. Anyway, when blink182 started to play at the end of the concert, i couldn't believe it, they were playing so bad i thought they were joking, but instead it was for real. Soon people started to throw them evreything, coins, bottles,shoes and toilet paper. They played really shitty and i was very disappointed, i knew they were commercial but i thought they knew how to play their own songs… So they leaved the stage after 20 minutes and only 7 songs, pissing off even more all the public composed by more than 50.000 people. it's the end of Blink182 ? I hope it is, couse at this point they are no better than backstreet boys, and i wonder who plays in their cds… Sorry for the bad english, but i'm italian. " That's pretty funny actually. I'm not going to join in the Blink 182 bashing, because I must quietly admit that I did like Cheshire Cat, though I hated Buddha… who brings toilet paper to a festival though?
