AO Arena - 🇬🇧 Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom - 11 May 2025

[tired kiln]

Um

[worn shadow]

I’ll try and send one in a min

[tired kiln]

Online dating apps are a thing!

[old abyss]

Theyre the worst

[tired kiln]

YAY!

[old abyss]

I had at least 4 of them and non worked
Only creeps

[tired kiln]

discord is NAWWWT the place to go trust me 😔

[old abyss]

The drum is back

[stark dove]

U do realizd the TOs is 23 plus right?

13

[vital gyro]

Awww

[old abyss]

To?

[stark dove]

TOS

Terms and conditions

[old abyss]

I see

I dont get your point

[tired kiln]

huh

[worn shadow]

Also did anyone else have to bin their tape last night, apparently Tøp specifically said no tape 😞 I bought it yesterday and had barely used it

[old abyss]

Yeah you’re not allowed to bring full tape rolls into venues

[tired kiln]

nope!

[old abyss]

They always throw them away immediately

[vital gyro]

No? I was reytt

[tired kiln]

i brought mine in

they didn’t bag check me, fools 😹

[spring cosmos]

i know the situation is all resolved now and i’m very happy that it is, but so many ppl were so quick to judge us about “just standing there” without fully understanding the scope of the situation.
we were just 3 girls who got out of the trees circle of death barely standing straight and we genuinely thought the girl was kidding because surely, surely!!, people can’t be that dense? she didn’t react to us telling her to drop it and she looked not well at all and i’ve lived in manchester long enough to know when to pick my battles.
nothing would’ve stopped her from swinging that drum at us and as much as i love this band they have more means for replacing a drum than us sorting out our medical bills. that and also we aren’t their crew or security and it’s not our job. we don’t leave those drums there but everyone was so up in arms as if we were the ones stealing it.

[worn shadow]

Yeah the downside of using a wheelchair is they do a bigger search

[stark dove]

For all they know I could have a blow dart launcher. It's only a metal detector

[tired kiln]

oh my i don’t think i’m gonna be able to read that respectfully i haven’t slept much and my vision is still really blurry

[tired kiln]

😀

[old abyss]

I always found it stupid how people who weren’t there judged fans that they “didn’t do anything”
I saw videos of the whole thing and soooo many tried it
But like you said, it’s not that easy at all
Especially when everyone rushes outsides and she just escapes
Or the fact that girl was telling everyone it was allowed

[keen bloom]

they got it back?

[old abyss]

Yup

In the morning

[keen bloom]

yay

[old abyss]

Waited for the thief in front of the hotel haha

[spring cosmos]

i’m glad to know that the boys found the situation extremely funny and seemingly weren’t too worried bc the guilt tripping online was too much to bear honestly. and i’m glad it’s over.

[keen bloom]

did she get in trouble?

[old abyss]

She started crying because she got caughted and told them lies

[keen bloom]

and did they boys say anything abt it?

[old abyss]

As far as i know not really-

[keen bloom]

ofc she did

[keen bloom]

ahh

[vital gyro]

OMG THAT FLAG ON YOUR BANNER I SAW THAT ON THE WAY HOME I COULDN'T MAKE OUT WHO IT WAS OMG NOW IT CLICKS!!!

[old abyss]

Did they say that it was funny?

[tired kiln]

OH THAT WASNT ME

[keen bloom]

what’s going on w blurryface?

[tired kiln]

I JUST FOUND JT FUNNY HAHAHAHA

[keen bloom]

sorry i’m not with it to look at twt yet im still half asleep

[worn shadow]

Wait I’m so behind, a drum was stolen

[old abyss]

Anniversary

[vital gyro]

AHHH

[spring cosmos]

someone talked to their crew afterwards and that’s where the info came from

[vital gyro]

IFS FUNNYYY

[terse plume]

we were able to bring ours in that’s super weird 😭 they just didn’t care

[old abyss]

You cant be for real

[terse plume]

they also BARELY checked my bag

[keen bloom]

yeah, there’s billboard posters?

[tired kiln]

showing it with pride!

[old abyss]

Yes
Ten different ones

[vital gyro]

LMAOOO

[terse plume]

WE COUKD SEE THIS FRIM OIR SEAT AHAHAHA

[keen bloom]

they didn’t check my massive one at all

[keen bloom]

TEN????

[worn shadow]

I woke up at 1 with a pain flare and migraine I’m soooo behind. So what happened with the drum?

[terse plume]

crazy work for such a “high security” venue

[keen bloom]

ohhh that annv tour is coming

[vital gyro]

17th of this month is their 10 year anniversary of blurryface

[old abyss]

To be fair Manchester didnt to bag checks

[vital gyro]

(My god do i feel old-)

[old abyss]

But usually tape was never allowed

[terse plume]

this random girl bypassed security with josh’ trees drum saying josh gave her it

[terse plume]

that’s insane how they took it off some people though, also really unfair

[vital gyro]

I remember when they were all over the radio back then

[worn shadow]

Omg where can I find the video

[terse plume]

i have a photo

[old abyss]

It’s understandable tho

[terse plume]

that’s all i got

[old abyss]

It was a rule we all knew about and i get why that rule exists

[worn shadow]

They didn’t just take it off us they had US bin it

[terse plume]

ohh i wasn’t aware of the rule. i still don’t know why they took it off some people and didn’t off of others 🫠

[terse plume]

☹️

[old abyss]

Because Manchester security sucked haha

Just don’t question it

[worn shadow]

I didn’t know about it and it was fine during the trench tour

[terse plume]

yeah no i’m more local to glasgow and the security there at hydro is impeccable

[vital gyro]

I'm impressed that my bag never got checked (secretly I'm happy with it not being checked ngll)

[terse plume]

but me and my friends were mindblown about how they just let everyone in barely any check

[worn shadow]

I think it depended on the entrance, the entrance from the station was checking everyone when I got there

[dusk herald]

Yeah it was wayyyy too loose on some people it’s kind of crazy, in Glasgow we got patted down and everything

[vital gyro]

I went into queue at like 6:30/6:45pm ish and NO ONE was being checked

[terse plume]

they do a full body metal detect too

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 1!

[terse plume]

insane

wasn’t this the arena where erm, that happened

[worn shadow]

What sucked most with the tape is they wouldn’t let me take it to the car and come back, there was a while til show start so I was going to take it to my dads car and come back and I offered to get rechecked but he said no they wouldn’t let us in even though our tickets weren’t scanned yet

[worn shadow]

Yep

[vital gyro]

I was in the seated queue but I dont think that matters bit DAMN

[terse plume]

that’s so sad omg

[worn shadow]

£12 of tape bought that day, and they made us bin it in front of them 😐

[terse plume]

thankfully we only had to buy it once for both shows as we were at glasgow last monday

[stark dove]

I had to bin 16 quid of food and drink bcs they let wristbands in early

[terse plume]

EHHH

[stark dove]

And we. Ouldebt bring it in the foyer

[tame prism]

My friends bag got checked randomly tbf

[vital gyro]

Whatt

[worn shadow]

They did let us put a bunch of tape on so we could put it on our merch, also if you ever want to take food anywhere claim allergies. As someone with allergies you have my permission XD

[dusk herald]

I’ll keep that in mind 😭

Well despite security and THE DRUM INCIDENT I hope everyone enjoyed

[vital gyro]

Hopefully when I go to my next gig security will be better than manny was

[tame prism]

I had an immaculate time!! Still on such a high!! Hahah

[worn shadow]

I’m gonna send the bracelet pic in a sec btw

[vital gyro]

I loved it, to say its my first time seeing them they did NOT disappoint 🙌 I'm still knackered and achy (which I'm sure I will be for a few days) but my inner child was SCREAMING at me throughout thr entire concertt

[dusk herald]

My first time was Monday and last night blew that out of the water, it was so good, I’m glad you enjoyed, I think all our inner children were healed last night

[vital gyro]

Didn't get back till ten to one but it was so worth it. Thankfully booked the day off workk

[vital gyro]

Awww that's so cute!!

[dusk herald]

I salute everyone that had to work today, I got back around 2:30 ish but I’m off until Thursday 😎

[worn shadow]

These are the brackets I mentioned, I really want to be able to properly say thanks as they were so sweet, apparently they brought them mainly for other disabled fans

[fleet cape]

I feel insane avout this

[worn shadow]

also we got back at 1.30 so I feel your pain XD

[vital gyro]

I live a good hour and a half maybe longer away and I was fighting the urge not to sleep in the car so bad 😭😭

[vital gyro]

Damnnn

[vital gyro]

Lucky I'm back tomorrowe

[worn shadow]

Yeah came all the way from Wirral lol my dad was not happy as he had to be up at 6.30 today

[dusk herald]

Came from Carlisle, made in the Royal Navy

[fleet cape]

Lmfao

[vital gyro]

Dammn I came from Doncaster however I praise anyone who lives REALLY up north or down south whi came to the show last night

[fleet cape]

I’m not too far away but I have to go back to uni for assessments tmrw 💔 tragic

[stark dove]

I come from Newport south Wales

[dusk herald]

Good luck!!

[terse plume]

i had to go to work for a 9h shift after the glasgow date

[dusk herald]

It’s crazy how 2 men can bring so many people from all over together

[fleet cape]

Oh I also came from Doncaster lmfao

[terse agate]

Do you think theyll do a blurry face tour

[dusk herald]

I hope sooo

[terse agate]

Need to see goner live

[tired kiln]

yes

they’re dropping very obvious hints

this time u guys fly out to the US instead of me coming to u 😎

[terse agate]

I think if they do it it’ll only be a small one though like maybe one show in London

[lean creek]

felt it blowing wind in my face

especially at HDS

[terse agate]

I could feel it going through my body at HDS

[tired kiln]

ME TOO

[lean creek]

Such a good song live

[tired kiln]

I’m a huge sucker for bass so feeling HDS gave me so much adrenaline

[terse agate]

It was my fav of the night

[lean creek]

balu brigada is mending my post concert depression

[terse agate]

Nicodirtysoul

[tired kiln]

i love twenty one pilots

i wish i had gotten to meet more people that i talk to frequently here

[shadow sentinel]

My josh pictures aren't the best bc where I was sat and my camera loves to have amazing moments and shit moments but that's a great picture

[lean creek]

oh yeah totally

[wide cloak]

not gonna dump my vids here but these are a couple of the pics i took of ty

[lean creek]

everyone’s a vibe

[tired kiln]

BWAURIFUL

[vital gyro]

My fave photo has gotta be this

[tired kiln]

i wish i could’ve seen him more cuz i had tall people in front of me or ppl were moving their arms above theirbhead a lot

[lean creek]

this is my fav photo idk why

might be the colours

[shadow sentinel]

I talked to a couple people when I was there but I was just nervous bc it was my first concert but it didn't disappoint

[wide cloak]

that's gorgeous

[vital gyro]

I so wanted to go and vibe standing up but I felt fot the people behind me as I'm a tall mff

[vital gyro]

WOEOWWO

[shadow sentinel]

These are my 2 favourites I got

[shadow sentinel]

Same

[vital gyro]

Oof

[tired kiln]

it’s ok cuz the moment ride came on all i could think was JOSHCAMJOSHCAMJOSHCAM

made up for not seeing tyler a lot

[shadow sentinel]

I'm tall and the people behind me weren't the tallest they didn't stand i didn't wanna ruin the view

[tired kiln]

i wish my digital camera i brought was charged this would’ve been crazy

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 3!

[tired kiln]

WOAH

[rugged elk]

Standing views look so good

[lean creek]

wow

[shadow sentinel]

THATS AN AMAZING PIC

[keen bloom]

did balu play designer last night? because i don’t know if i missed that or if it was the one replaced with the new song because i caught the new song but i dont remember hearing designer :/

[lean creek]

they did

[keen bloom]

damn i must’ve missed it

designer and so cold are my favs and i’m glad i saw so cold

[lean creek]

designer is too catchy

[vital gyro]

The wardrobe is looking a lot nicer noww (repping the photo of my Internet mate and me eheh)

[wide cloak]

yeah we were so lucky to stand where we were. my bf and i got 156 and 157. we stood about 4 rows back from barricade at the beginning but towards the end of the show we were basically at barricade

[keen bloom]

i just know i’m gonna start getting into them more now that i’ve seen them

i’ve framed my signed my album already lmaooo 😅

[rugged elk]

What time did you get to the venue at?

[shadow sentinel]

That's the best picture I got of josh 🥲

[wide cloak]

we queued from about 5:45 till 10:30 ish

[rapid arrow]

Can I go bk .. 😪😪

[wide cloak]

and then went back to the venue at 4:30 pm

[timid shore]

the best i’ve got of the trees circle

[fleet cape]

I WANT TO Omfg maybe

[rugged elk]

Worth it tho

[keen bloom]

looking at what i spent last night and a SPRITE in that arena cost me more than what the meal i got in mcdonald’s beforehand cost me.

[tired kiln]

LMAOO

[red mulch]

the drink prices were so fucking bad 😭 12 quid for 2 drinks

[tired kiln]

idk how the little coins work all i know is dollars bye

[keen bloom]

literally 6.80 for a SPRITE

[red mulch]

LITERALLY

it was crazy

[tired kiln]

£101 for merch is actually crazy for me bc what do u mean it’d be $150-170 USD ????

[keen bloom]

i’m so glad i didn’t get alcohol. last time i did was at 5sos, 2 dark fruits cost me £17.60. FOR TWO.

[red mulch]

170!?

[keen bloom]

boyyy what are you buying? 😭😭

[tired kiln]

my 4 items would’ve been 170 maybe even more if we’re gonna be honest

[keen bloom]

damnnn

[tired kiln]

if i ever try to get merch at a show sweatshirts run for $90 and the shirts are $45

CDs are $25 and the vinyl go up to $50

[red mulch]

thats crazy expensive

[keen bloom]

prices either way were extroadinort (i’m not even attempting to spell that) one shirt for £40 is crazy to me 😭

[tired kiln]

beanies are $70.

[red mulch]

FOR A HAT??

[keen bloom]

70????

[tired kiln]

YES.

[keen bloom]

FOR A KNITTED HAT

WHAT.

[tired kiln]

i don’t know top prices but every show i’ve been to

[red mulch]

WHAT THE FUCK

[tired kiln]

DEADASS

[keen bloom]

that’s crazy

[tired kiln]

oh you’re gonna love this

$60 for a 5ftx5ft tapestry.

[keen bloom]

no way

[red mulch]

get the fuck out

[keen bloom]

that’s insane

[tired kiln]

it’d be $10 on a website if you got a fake one custom made for yourself

[keen bloom]

i would’ve bought the tapestry actually but i had no room for it at all

[tired kiln]

(cough i did that)

[keen bloom]

was gonna use it as a shower curtain

[tired kiln]

LOL

i have a tapestry above my bed that’s one of the DIY bands i love

but i’ve had that for 3 years, so i think the new hyperfixation will do better

if i ever stop talking ive lost battery

my plane has been delayed

i’m starting to fear the bag has a bomb or weapon of some sort bc the pilot said “for security reasons we can’t have this bag on board” and they’re LOOKING THROUGH SEVERAL BINS

[red mulch]

WHAT

no thats scary

[tired kiln]

it apparently was mistakenly sent with a passenger so i’m like

what

i just wanna go home 😭

hey so

who manifested me not going home again

[vital gyro]

I spent $145 if im doing the maths right on merch.... £110 for us uk lot

[tired kiln]

@cold harness @strange sail it was one of you wasn’t it

[grizzled turret]

all this was 135,, im broke yall

[strange sail]

what?

[tired kiln]

ohh hey that’s not too bad tbh!

[tired kiln]

did you manifest my flight would be delayed

or was that someone else

[vital gyro]

Ya i only got two bits!

[tired kiln]

OH

WOW

[strange sail]

i didn't manifest..

[tired kiln]

2 things ?!?

[vital gyro]

Don't.....

[red mulch]

same and it cost me 110 too

[vital gyro]

I'm happy with 'em thooo :3

[tired kiln]

someone in this channel said they hope my flight doesn’t take off so i stay here

[strange sail]

oh no that wasn't me then

[vital gyro]

I can't wait to wear my jacket when it gets coldr

[strange sail]

I only jinxed it as a joke like a week ago

[tired kiln]

OH that’s what i was thinking of

[strange sail]

and then unjinxed it

[vital gyro]

God I'd wanna go out of the country alone but not at the same time

[tired kiln]

well you’re lucky bc i’m still sitting on my plane

i was supposed to depart an hour ago

[vital gyro]

Rowan is not officially one of us (;

[grizzled turret]

ALSO UPDATE on the drum situation,, the two people from showsec that went to the hotel last night said they will be having very strong words with the steward in yellow that talked to the girl and let her walk before contacting the control room and asking if she was allowed to take the drum so dont worry y'all we are going to get our security better trained for situations like this

[vital gyro]

(All jokes aside tho I do hope you get back safee)

[tired kiln]

THANK U

i saw a picture of the stage b4 they started playing and i’m tearing up

guys i miss u so much

[vital gyro]

Aww

[sudden pebble]

just started the 2 hour absolute TREK back to derby wish me luck

[stark dove]

I finally have confetti to fill my frame with!!!

[sudden pebble]

thats so cool oh my

[grizzled turret]

heck yeaaa

[strange sail]

also did no one talk about the navigating scream? hello?

I don't think the us leg got that

or any other show as far as i know

[red mulch]

the where are you?

[strange sail]

the one at the very end

[magic heart]

I ascended during navigating 🙏🙏

hearing my favourite clancy song live was a dream come true oml

[keen bloom]

https://vm.tiktok.com/ZNdMagjBV/

guys like my tiktok 🤪🤪

[vital gyro]

Liked it ((:

[uncut marsh]

Ahh the flag 😄 we signed that

[rapid arrow]

Does anyone have a pic of the screens during trees .. of the the vultures in the tree... finding it hard as everyone is watching the drum stuff in videos and tictoks

Basically wanna 3d sculpt it 😂😂 finding it hard

[shadow sentinel]

Liked it👍

[wheat cradle]

Sorry, this is the best I could give ya haha...

[rapid arrow]

Thank you .. i can defo make a start with this

[grizzled turret]

i have this if it helps?

[dawn hamlet]

Thabks too all there last night, it was a really nice atmosphere. also whoever gave me the two mineuts bracelet thanky you so mhch

[dawn hamlet]

this is a shame a bad rep is gained for the manchester show bc tyler seemed to be enjoying yesterday. awful thst one person has too ruin it for everyone else

[grizzled turret]

yea i mean regardless the show was amazing and im sure this one incident isn't relfective of all the other fans that were very respectful and supportive

[dawn hamlet]

yeah, im seeing a lot of hate on people for not stopping the fan who stole it which in really not pleased with. Not exacltly their obligation, nor will they really know whats going on

like there is quite clearly one person accountable

[grizzled turret]

yeah i mean it was all on the security of the venue and the band's security not getting the drums out of there in time i feel. you can't blame people for not stopping her because u never know how she would've reacted, things could have gotten violent yknow

[dawn hamlet]

its also a bit of a what the hell is going on moment

[grizzled turret]

yea exactly the only person to blame here is the girl that took it

[dawn hamlet]

literally😭 i dont understand the motivation behind it either like its not like taking something small. Why would you want something to represent the band you like - but also know your favourite band hates you

[grizzled turret]

right?? could've just taken confetti like everyone else, bought some merch and left

[dawn hamlet]

Literally😭😭😭 not sure what was going through her head.

Idk if thrh were at all exits but oh my there were so many people selling stuff outisfe the venue

[thorn vector]

They were so louuuud

[grizzled turret]

her justification was she wasn't thinking straight and was drunk. like cmon no one takes a whole ass drum out the venue because they're drunk

[thorn vector]

I was exhausted and trying to navigate through seas of shouting vendors was like too much

[dawn hamlet]

that makes it kinda funny but then surely just like retirn it and not take it back to ur hotel😭😭

[dawn hamlet]

ong this is true

[grizzled turret]

navigate u say?

[thorn vector]

😭

[dawn hamlet]

i dont go too many shows but how are twenty one pilots in good faith selling the tour shirts for 40£

[junior current]

it's very likely not their decision

[thorn vector]

They don’t even look that good in quality tbh

[dawn hamlet]

i mean dont ge tme wrong i bought one but prices were crazy

[thorn vector]

If I was buying a hoodie for £70 it better be fluffy inside

[dawn hamlet]

well they get told tje prices dont they

[junior current]

I'm sure they're aware, but what I'm saying is they're not in charge of that

it's very likely that they do not have autonomy in those matters

[grizzled turret]

yea i think with a band this big a lottt of it is in the hands of their team

[junior current]

^

[dawn hamlet]

id absolutely disagree with this. Though it is induestry standard so i wouldnt expect them too rise above, they defintly have impact in decision making

[grizzled turret]

like they have full finance teams that do all that for them

[junior current]

it'll be the managers, the finance people, the venue owners who need compensation, etc who make these decisions

[lofty whale]

big thing is merch is how they would make the majority of their money back
you'd be surprised how much these shows and touring and stuff costs especially shipping the FPE around and stuff
their teams are like pricing them to make a profit and not just break even for the tour

[junior current]

Tyler and Josh almost certainly do not have a say in the matter

it's the only way to keep the ship running

[junior current]

exactly

[dawn hamlet]

Nah the profit margin on a 40£ shirt is insane though

[junior current]

you'd be surprised

[grizzled turret]

also the merch company is an outside vendor not the official twenty one pilots merch team so it is very likely they add their own costs to it

[junior current]

that too

[dawn hamlet]

i would still disagree with this one. But like i said theres no expectation once again for them too be above charging that much

It is standard, but still insane for a t shirt

[junior current]

how do you disagree? it's not like they're a small group any more, there is no band or artist in the world of this size that takes care of all their own finances, ESPECIALLY not in the case of tours

[lofty whale]

the sad thing about the music industry, merch and live shows is basically how you make all your money and with a show as big as theirs is you gotta do what you gotta do to make money for all the crew and touring partners and venues and external merch production etc

that's before the label takes their cut too

[dawn hamlet]

you cant deny they wont have influnece lol. its not an expectation too be charging less but they absolutlrly have the capacity

[junior current]

exactly this. There's no way to make any kind of meaningful profit without having prices at this kind of height

[junior current]

I absolutely can deny that

cause that's not their department

[dawn hamlet]

lol its the pricing of a shirt, they definyl have influence. Its not the whole back of tje tours financial planning

[junior current]

as aeth said, the 'pricing of a shirt' is one of the biggest parts of a tour's finance

it's not insignificant

[vital gyro]

There were at least like 7/8 people selling stuff while I was trying to escape?

[grizzled turret]

merch is probably the least of their concerns with going on tour like they have way more important things to be doing

[dawn hamlet]

im not an expert, but my uneducated guess is they woulf be fine pricing a little less

[lofty whale]

yeah probably, but why not maximize your profits

40 for a shirt ain't too bad all things considered

[dawn hamlet]

i mean like i repeated its not an expectation for them too be ‘above’ charging 40

[dawn hamlet]

Nah that is nonsense im sorry

40£ for a t shirt is insane pricing

[red mulch]

i mean considering they could charge whatever they wanted for it because people would pay 40 quid aint that bad

[dawn hamlet]

too be more accesible, there are plenty of reasons.

[junior current]

but there comes a point where 'a little less' is not significant enough for the fans lol. It's limited edition merch, it was always going to be expensive; 40 is extremely reasonable. By 'a little less', how much would you suggest? 5 dollars less? 10? how about 20? cause it gets to a point where you can't really justify cutting it down more

[lofty whale]

you can quite easily go onto the high street and find shirts that go from 40 all the way into the hundreds
you're basically paying for the brand of Twenty One Pilots

[vital gyro]

I have seen events price a shirt at like £70/80 before likee

[lofty whale]

^^

[wheat cradle]

And I feel bad cos that was obviously just driving customers out to the bad quality scammy ones on the street after

[fleet cape]

Its not something I’ll go out of my way to defend but ive become accustomed to expensive shit lol

[lofty whale]

as band grows so does their brand image
and with a growing brand image comes more expensive merchandise

[junior current]

^

[red mulch]

exactly

[dawn hamlet]

Yes but they dont have too charge 40£ for a t shirt 😭

i think yall are forgetting its literally a t shirt

[lofty whale]

It's just the typical cycle of things
You've basically gone from having a street vendor level band to a multi national chain band
And with that comes increased pricing

[dawn hamlet]

One t shirt

[junior current]

but they DO

[dawn hamlet]

no, they dont

[red mulch]

40 quid isnt bad at other concerts ive been to shirts have been 50 60 quid

[grizzled turret]

i mean the vendor selling merch inside the venue will also be getting a cut and then their employees need to be paid too, from that we dont actually know how much the band is making yknow

[lofty whale]

I digress

[dawn hamlet]

its quite mistakej too believe because other people do worse your own actuond are justifiable. The actuons of others dont justify your own

[junior current]

you have literally just had it explained to you why they do

I can't be bothered with this conversation any more

I'm getting way too riled up over this 😭

[red mulch]

LMAO

[dawn hamlet]

You absolutely have not said why it is a NEED to charge 40£. Youve explained why its an option they choose. Not a need

[fleet cape]

It’s a (mildly) infuriating chat ngl

[junior current]

I legit can't believe how closedminded people can be sometimes 😭

it's unreal

[red mulch]

they charge 40 quid because they need to make money, they arent getting every single penny they make they have people to pay and shit

[red mulch]

no literally

[dawn hamlet]

this is ironic

[red mulch]

real 😭

[dawn hamlet]

capitilist mindset is wild

[grizzled turret]

lets say the band gets 50% of the profit then they would make 20 off of a 40 pound t shirt i dont think thats the worst

[junior current]

and there it is

that's the root of everything here lmho

[dawn hamlet]

do you know how much the manufactoring a t shirt costs lol

[red mulch]

but its not, its common sense. they dont get every penny they make because they have hundreds of people working for them that also need to make a living?

[junior current]

^

it's literally just how tour profit works

[dawn hamlet]

yes but charging extortionate prices is for profit, not for sustaining the tour

[junior current]

there is no way around it

[grizzled turret]

well we dont know where its being manufactured like if theyre using more sustainable methods then yes it would cost a lot

[lofty whale]

Lets put it this way
From that £40
It's probably £10 for the blank shirt in bulk wholesale
Then probably £2-3 for printing
So you're already down to like a ~£27 profit
That's not including cut from the merchandise partner, cut from the venue merch stands, cut from the label, cut from shipping them all around to each venue etc
At the end of it all, the boys probably see like £5 max from that shirt sale

[dawn hamlet]

my shirt says honduras

[junior current]

40 dollars for limited edition tour merch is not 'extortionate', it's necessary

[red mulch]

40 isnt extortionate. other brands will charge hundreds for fucking socks atp top arent charging that bad of prices lets be real

[dawn hamlet]

you have explained why its an option they choose, not why its a necessiety

[red mulch]

precisely

[grizzled turret]

that dont mean its not sustainable

[junior current]

you are INSANE

I'm out

can't believe this

[fleet cape]

I wasn’t happy to see that £40 leave my acc Sure but it couldve been worse and I don’t know the specifics of where that money goes to lmfao

[dawn hamlet]

i didnt say it isn’t unsustainable, i said it is cheap

[ashen glen]

honestly yes the prices are high but compare the prices to eras tour merch prices

[junior current]

acc abt to crash out in my study hall

[fleet cape]

I felt better about the shirt price than the drink prices

[lofty whale]

LOL

[red mulch]

LITERALLY LMAO

[lofty whale]

£6 for a monster is CRIMINAL

[dawn hamlet]

other peoples actions being worse dont cause as a valid reason for ur own

[red mulch]

EXACTLY my friend bought a shirt for 60 quid

[grizzled turret]

how do u know its cheap?? just because its made in honduras

[vital gyro]

SIX QUID?!??!

[lofty whale]

YEP

[dawn hamlet]

Other peoples actions beign worse arent valid justifisation for yoyrs being bad

[ashen glen]

its how the market is nowadays, they all play the game. they have to 🤷‍♀️

[vital gyro]

And this is why I don't get drinks from arenas like God DAMN

[dawn hamlet]

because people are out there hurting others it doenst meaj i can steal

[junior current]

yeah I had one coke the whole show cause it was way overpriced

[lofty whale]

6 monsters or a tour shirt
i know which one I'd choose

[dawn hamlet]

i generally meant manufacturing a t shirt isnt expensive

[vital gyro]

I didn't have anythingg

[red mulch]

exactly

[junior current]

that's a wild way to look at it lol I love that

[fleet cape]

Ironically enough I’m pretty sure my eras T-shirt was the same price lmao. Not that it proves anything im just remembering

[red mulch]

??

[thorn vector]

The anxiety I felt everytime I watched someone come back with a jumbo sized cup of beer or coke

[ashen glen]

thats not a great comparison. we’re talking corporations here. its all a dirty business in the end

[grizzled turret]

i would have to agree to disagree

[lofty whale]

I broke it down for you above, you'd be surprised how expensive it is

[thorn vector]

Watched someone spill it on the person in front and instantly realised I was in danger of the person behind me spilling their drink on me 😭

[ashen glen]

exactly most of the time they just match to other merch prices or go lower or higher depending on demand. to make profit

[dawn hamlet]

i didnt mean stealing as theh are stealing. Im creating an analogy in thst becuase someone is worse it doesnt mean what im doing is ok. Im stating why its an invalid arguement type

[junior current]

you don't have to agree to disagree, just disagree bro. it's public information that Peter can look up if he wants to

LOL

[red mulch]

louis Vuitton are literally the worst example of this, it costs them 20 quid to make a bag and they charge 100s

[junior current]

yeah luxury brands are dumb

[lofty whale]

I know someone who operates a decent merch brand and some shirts he actively sells at a loss at like £40 because he makes do with other sales

[ashen glen]

they aren’t stealing? its just a profit business. thats it

[dawn hamlet]

how can you concede this and then not about the shirts. The logical inconsistency is crazy

[lofty whale]

Difference is the markup

[vital gyro]

They're awful

[grizzled turret]

true i guess lmao

[lofty whale]

Costs the same
Just one marks up significantly less

[fleet cape]

-1 days untik the concert guys who’s excited

[ashen glen]

listen, people will pay extra for the logo, even if they’re made in the same factory. thats literally how most things work

[dawn hamlet]

i didnt sua they were stealign. Do yoy understand what im sahing? Im showing that justidyinf yoyr actions by sahing somebody else is worse isnt valid

[lofty whale]

Which again, you're paying for the brand

[junior current]

no logical inconsistency here

[red mulch]

it hurts to read those messages

[lofty whale]

You want louis vuitton you pay 8000% extra
You want TOP you pay 50% extra

[ashen glen]

thank you dude ❤️

[red mulch]

ik which id rather have

[junior current]

bros sweating so hard his fingers are slipping across the keyboard

[dawn hamlet]

i mean yes you agreed about the brand image contributing to the price then criticised others for having insane prices due to brand image. That is by defintiion inconsitciny

[red mulch]

GOODBYE

[lofty whale]

You want some underground street artist you pay like 2% extra
it's just the way things work for merch

[red mulch]

i snorted

[dawn hamlet]

Im dyspraxic my bad gng

[thorn vector]

Can we maybe talk about something else so that we’re not arguing about merch prices? Everyone’s opinion is valid guys

[red mulch]

dyspraxia is clumsy not spelling

[dawn hamlet]

clumsy on a keybaord. Im also dyslexic too thougj

[ashen glen]

yeah just give up dude if corporations hurt you this bad then just don’t buy. you can complain about the unfairness whilst others enjoy what they buy

[thorn vector]

I wanted to ask what the new lore means… have we fallen victim to DEMA again?

[red mulch]

literally

[red mulch]

which part of the new lore?

[dawn hamlet]

i mena yeha i buy the majority of my clothes second hand. Its a shame they arnet making an effort too be accessible

[thorn vector]

The Blurryface marketing, East is down kinda think

[red mulch]

why should they? they need to make a living they cant make it cheap. its limited edition for a tour theyll never do again

[ashen glen]

they can’t. thats literally it. they all feed into the fast fashion type industry where everything is marked up. you just have to accept thats not going to change

[dawn hamlet]

a living bros a millionare😭😭

[red mulch]

i dont know but its really interesting, everything is almost reversing. i definitely think we’re going back to blurryface

[lofty whale]

Working theory is
Clancy is becoming corrupted by his power, and following a dangerous path
It's now down to the Banditos and the Citizens to go and save him from himself type deal

[junior current]

I do agree that we should stop but also not everyone's opinion is valid if you're discussing verifiable fact

[dawn hamlet]

i think they could make an effort to make it more accesible. Not that its their obligation. But they definrly could

[fleet cape]

Ooo thats exciting

[thorn vector]

I don’t really have an opinion since I can understand all sides of the argument but yes, let’s stop now because there’s lore to talk about and that’s a lot more positive

[dawn hamlet]

i thought the dema story ended

[thorn vector]

Me too

[lofty whale]

Noooo PS is not the end

[thorn vector]

Except the tour is changing a little

[dawn hamlet]

i was under tje impression it ties into kitchen sink, in that only tyler knows hownit ends

[lofty whale]

Double album theory lives

[thorn vector]

Two more days and we’ll know

[fleet cape]

Yah its a state of the music industry thing, prices arent going anywgere but I get the complaints

[red mulch]

yess 😼

[dawn hamlet]

bold too call it a fact but it is true you cajt have opinion on fact

[red mulch]

he did say that the tour wasnt the end it was a reminder of what we’ve been through

[red mulch]

move on bro

no one cares

[ashen glen]

y’all its time to stop

[dawn hamlet]

just cannot get behind justifying corperaye greed im sorry😔😔😔

[dawn hamlet]

sowy🥺

ill stop ill sotp

[thorn vector]

Please stop, I understand it’s frustrating when you keep getting shut down but this conversation isn’t constructive

[ashen glen]

its okay, we understand and your opinion is valid

[thorn vector]

Anyone get any great pics last night?

[fleet cape]

Its chill

[thorn vector]

Most of my stuff is blurry because I’m in the seats

[red mulch]

same

[lofty whale]

Most likely scenario for me is:

• Last day we get some big lore hint from FPE
• BF10 anniversary stream or announcement of some sort that leans into the corruption and darkness
• They disappear for a month
• June kicks up some new marketing or hints
• "Double" Album in Sep/Oct
• Tour starts again early next year for the real victory lap

[red mulch]

i had his back to me the whole night

[fleet cape]

I have so many blurry pics idk why I kept taking them afyer I realised they were all shocking lmao

[junior current]

I was in seats (and mostly took videos) but I got a couple photos too

[thorn vector]

Love how this band consistently loves disappearing so that wouldn’t be so unexpected

Anyone in BL 102?

[fleet cape]

Some blurry highlights

[grizzled turret]

lmaoo right

[fleet cape]

I did get some actual good ones though

[lofty whale]

Both live and online, they just disappear and reappear at will

[grizzled turret]

thats kinda cool looking still'

[wheat cradle]

not enough faces to complete the blurriness I'm afraid

[thorn vector]

That time Josh accepted the award on behalf of him and Tyler makes me laugh every time I see a clip

None fans trying to understand “off fighting the bishops”

[fleet cape]

Lmkfhdjcjdj

[thorn vector]

I was so excited when he appeared during cat radio I can’t even

[red mulch]

thats such a good picture

[fleet cape]

Oh thats sick

[wheat cradle]

Real

[wheat cradle]

Though decided not to post it or whatver as it does just look like some bins on fire lmao

[vital gyro]

Samee

[red mulch]

the smile

[vital gyro]

I was like HUH?!?!

[thorn vector]

That’s SO GOOD BRO

[wheat cradle]

Why's the guy on the right holding the bar so aggressively 😭

[thorn vector]

He was so happy all night

The damn drum fiasco man

[red mulch]

i know

[vital gyro]

The whole set design i find was AMAZINGGG

[red mulch]

im so upset i didnt get to see all the details and stuff cause i was behind the screens

[wheat cradle]

Crazy how they got the towers down so quickly too between songs

[grizzled turret]

yeaa gotta give it to the set deisgners they did such a good job

[thorn vector]

They were inflatables

I was actually kinda concerned how close they were to the fire

[wheat cradle]

Omg of course they were
There I was thinking they were metal 😭😭🙏
Still, pretty good work

[vital gyro]

With all the video walls, lights (possibly moving heads too) i can't even BEGIN to think how long it took for 'em to sync everything to the pa systems and stuff

[fleet cape]

Yeah it was amazing

[grizzled turret]

imagine the last show in london is just the whole arena lighting on fire

[thorn vector]

We were cheering the people syncing the spotlights at the start

[wheat cradle]

Plus syncing the lyrics on the screen to the song

[fleet cape]

I will stop at nothing to get pit next time

[wheat cradle]

Oh and filming and editing the judge so quickly

[red mulch]

same

[vital gyro]

I was sat behind this woman who reminded me of my dad as she was on about how long it'd take / what they had to do with everythingg

[fleet cape]

Yeah its so impressive

[red mulch]

does anyone have a video of the judge music video?

[wheat cradle]

I was happy standing really! And I'm not the tallest either, so it worked well lol

[thorn vector]

My mum claims that she thinks Josh burnt his back because he was too close to the fire and he kept touching it as if he was in pain (I did not notice this but I think I was a bit busy singing)

[vital gyro]

My dad does event production and I knew if he was with me he'd he telling me ALL about it in my ears after the concert of while it was on lmfaop

[grizzled turret]

i doo but idk if i can send it in here? maybe file too big

[vital gyro]

Ahhh okay

[wheat cradle]

I feel that could be a bit extreme to then keep calm and carry on um

Ouchie

[red mulch]

do you have anything else you could send it on? i got filmed and wanna see if im in it

[vital gyro]

I also found it quite funny the amount of times we did the Mexican wave in seated while we waited for them to come onstage

[thorn vector]

What did you look like?

[red mulch]

that was so funny

[thorn vector]

I can probably cut the bit you’re in

[thorn vector]

It was great, the promising for the start was also perfect

[wheat cradle]

No idea how we coordinated that so well

[fleet cape]

Blurry tyler

[wheat cradle]

Adorable

[fleet cape]

Highlight of my evening

[red mulch]

i doubt im in it but we looked like this

[wheat cradle]

And the patterns people did with their phone torches while waiting

[vital gyro]

It was, every WAYY and claps were funny asff

[vital gyro]

Frfrr

[wheat cradle]

.heic is crazy work

[thorn vector]

Me and my friend were making hearts on the left of the stage, we helped start a revolution and it was so satisfying

[vital gyro]

Nor do I tbf

[red mulch]

LMAO me and my friend were doing that

[vital gyro]

OH YEA

[grizzled turret]

idk whyy it wouldnt send normally

[tidal furnace]

Hi sigmaa

[wheat cradle]

Unfortunately it was just me, seated, so would have looked so dumb haha

[thorn vector]

I’ll have a look. Otherwise, is there some way i can send you it given that discord is too stingy on file size

[tidal furnace]

Tour shirt rhehehehe

[red mulch]

i have snapchat or insta?

[thorn vector]

Insta

[red mulch]

me and my friend were drawing triangles and circles

[red mulch]

amyasp16

[wheat cradle]

Impressive coordination, I could never 😭

[red mulch]

HELP

[thorn vector]

I’m Astro

[red mulch]

[tidal furnace]

Does anyone know what the writing on this says btw???

[thorn vector]

There’s writing?

[wheat cradle]

Very racist and sexist stuff I'm afraid
You're now a walking insult :(

[tidal furnace]

WAHHHHH

it says 'i love bananas' 🥲🥲

[wheat cradle]

You know I knew they weren't gonna play atrofd, but I did think they were could play oldies, was so upset when they didn't 😭

[tidal furnace]

I have no idea what it says

I'm guessing the small writing is 'clancy' and the long one is 'twenty one pilots'

[red mulch]

is it not what the beginning of tear in my heart says or something

[deft sedge]

hi guys

hows post concert depression going

[magic heart]

everything is pain

[tidal furnace]

I don't have it

I am upset about one thing tho

Not being able to tell my nan about the show

She was so excited to hear about it before she died, and I was going to tell her all about it

Also as I said I've not listened to the line since she died, so for two weeks, so when Tyler played it literally in front of me, I wanted to ACTUALLY cry like I am going to at her funeral

[prime flare]

my first concert ever and its hit me like a train iwl

not even the biggest fan but i queued for 31 hours with my mates and id do it again iwl 😭 shit was so gas

[red mulch]

horrific

[noble canyon]

[vital gyro]

So far alright, it'll probably hit when I go back to work tomorrow 🙃

[deft sedge]

[deft sedge]

[noble canyon]

^

[deft sedge]

she was defo drunk

[dawn hamlet]

shame people do tjat sort of stuff and get away with it

why go to a show and get drunk dont you want too remmeber it😭😭

[red mulch]

yeah definitely

[thorn vector]

I fear it’s common

It’s irresponsible to get drunk like that in a public place but then again, we do live in Manchester

[dawn hamlet]

my first time in manchester yesterday actuallu

i will not be returning😭🙏

[thorn vector]

Fairs

[red mulch]

LMAO

[thorn vector]

But then again, a lot of England is like this

[red mulch]

its the closest arena to me unfortunately

[dawn hamlet]

likewise

[thorn vector]

I don’t know what my closest is

[dawn hamlet]

Yeah im fortunate to live somehwere nicer

[noble canyon]

English are born menaces by default

[thorn vector]

Technically I don’t live in Manchester, I live just beyond the border of greater Manchester

[red mulch]

security is normally good at manchester idk what happened

[red mulch]

same

[dawn hamlet]

greater manchester🔥🔥

[thorn vector]

Without doxxing yourself, where do you live

[noble canyon]

agreed seemed very lazy

[red mulch]

HELP

[dawn hamlet]

without doxxing myself😭🙏

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 9!

[dawn hamlet]

york

[thorn vector]

Long drive

[red mulch]

i think it was i went literally last month and they were great

[dawn hamlet]

everyone has their off days ig. Towards they end they prolly cannot be arsed

[dawn hamlet]

very

[noble canyon]

I mean the drum situation sums up just how shit the security was lol

[dawn hamlet]

The parking thing was chaos

[red mulch]

exactly 😭

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 6!

[thorn vector]

Where did you park

I went to the nearest Q park and god getting out took forever (and that was just from the first floor)

[dawn hamlet]

theyll probably get some form of ‘disciplenary action’ for it. Venue prilly doesnt want them ruining the rep

[dawn hamlet]

exact same yeah, there was that one just after under the bridhe

was so hard to get out

[thorn vector]

Manchester parking is worst experience I’ve had

[noble canyon]

I wonder how the coop arena compares to AO haven't been yet

[thorn vector]

I once got stuck in the arndale car park for an hour and a half

[red mulch]

oh yes

[magic heart]

it's really good

[dawn hamlet]

1am washing black eye shadow of my neck and wrists was NOT what i expected the night too be like

[red mulch]

ive heard mixed reviews of it some said its great others have said its shit

[magic heart]

idk if I'm biased cos I was in the pit there

[red mulch]

SAME LMAO

[magic heart]

just don't let the air conditioning units fall on you 🫣

[dawn hamlet]

[red mulch]

HELLO

[red mulch]

[dawn hamlet]

it was so faded by the end as well

[noble canyon]

lol I heard about that when they delayed the opening

[dawn hamlet]

the flannel i used was a mistake, my neck was raw red afterwards

[red mulch]

yeah i used a sponge wasnt a good idea

[dawn hamlet]

cleaned up in time tho😭🙏 sleeping witj that wouldve been awful

[red mulch]

yeah i wasnt getting in bed with it on 😭

[noble canyon]

now I come to think of it showsec was the security at Foo Fighters last year at old trafford cricket ground and it was pretty light checks there too

Not good 🤣

[dawn hamlet]

my like arm hair has had black grains in all day 😭😭💀

[red mulch]

LMAO

[dawn hamlet]

im still spotty

[red mulch]

ive been scrubbing for 15 mins now and its still on me

[dawn hamlet]

What did you use😭😭

[red mulch]

water based paint 😭

[dawn hamlet]

oh my…

[red mulch]

yeahh..

[dawn hamlet]

i regret and also dont regret using eye shadow, i did it too early so it was really faded. But also, eays cleanup

[tame prism]

Nah the way I am SOBBING right now… looking back at all the videos I took😭😭

[tidal furnace]

New pfp sigmas

[thorn vector]

Looking back on mine is horrendous because of my singing OTHER THAN when Josh sings because I shut right up when I realised he was singing

[vital gyro]

Loving the fit!!

[noble canyon]

I hope someone uploads a professional recording of the show on YT

[vital gyro]

Am I alright to save the first vid of yours please? Not gonna share it anywhere and if I did I'd credit you dw <33

[noble canyon]

Most of them are low quality

[tidal furnace]

Tyyy! This is the full pic

[thorn vector]

Considering the dire security, I wouldn’t be surprised if someone slipped a camera in

[noble canyon]

more than likely lol

[tidal furnace]

Literally real 😭

[red mulch]

it wouldve been easy enough honestly

[thorn vector]

I mean I saw someone with a digital canon camera in my block but that’s not a big one

[wheat cradle]

Unfortunately I was on the left side and put my torch up for both before
I fear he may have been talking to me 😭

[vital gyro]

Slayyy, I believe i saw you yesterday and was meant to complement your fit but didn't have the courage to say owt 💔💔

[red mulch]

in the pit i kept seeing big flashes from a camera

[wheat cradle]

What was that little high tune he did on the piano? Was it improvised or an actual one that I don't know of

[magic heart]

lmaooo I saw people slipping in so much stuff

[tame prism]

Ofc! 🫶🏼

[thorn vector]

Dear that one guy smoking in the pit, yes we all saw you from the seats, please don’t do that

[tame prism]

Oh honestly same phahaha I wanna say I shared the good ones💀

[thorn vector]

I mean previous shows it was teased songs I think but I wasn’t too sure. People cheered so maybe something from self titled

[tame prism]

There was a few honestly!! Wasn’t just you haha!

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 2!

[tidal furnace]

Ah don't worry 😭😭I wanted to compliment so many people and got too nervous too so I know how you feel

I'll probs dress up like that to every tøp show I go to, I mean my user on shit is literally NicolasBourbaki 😭😭

[vital gyro]

Thank you!!! <3

[tame prism]

Yw!! ❤️

[wheat cradle]

Ah, that would explain it! Don't know all of their discography, I will admit... Please don't disown me...

[vital gyro]

Lmaooo

[tame prism]

I am the same here I don’t know every single song there’s many of us that don’t🫶🏼 doesn’t mean you are any less of a fan!

[thorn vector]

I took my friend who’s literally only just started listening to them this month, you think you’re good bro

[vital gyro]

I'm just buzzing that had 95% of the fit at home, only had to get a tie then I was goldenn

[tidal furnace]

If you haven't you should listen to trapdoor, it's my fav tøp song

[thorn vector]

Waited nine years to finally see them and even I don’t know all their stuff. Admittedly that’s probably just like half of RAB but still

[red mulch]

i adore trapdoor

[tidal furnace]

Wait I mean them I didn't read the message 😭

[noble canyon]

Same with me I've waited 11 years

[thorn vector]

I loved trapdoor so long but I think taxi cab may have stolen my top spot for self titled

[tidal furnace]

Your friend should listen to trapdoor

[thorn vector]

She likes SAI most

[tidal furnace]

I wish trapdoor was on the setlist 😭😭

[vital gyro]

I got into them while was popping off and I just explorer their music further and further and yesterday felt like a dream as I wanted to see them for 10+ yearss

[tidal furnace]

Literally such a goated album

[noble canyon]

I took my mother shes 59 and shes a superfan :)

[tame prism]

A good 8/9 years for me I wanted to go to the Banditos tour but couldn’t afford it at the time😭

[red mulch]

aww

[thorn vector]

Giggling, my parents came (they’re in their fifties) and they looked so awkward

[vital gyro]

Out of all their setlist i didn't know mulberry street

[tidal furnace]

YAYAYAYAY I love it when our parents like the same shit as us, my mum was so happy to be there at tøp and screamed the whole time with me

[thorn vector]

Managed to put tape on them but they wouldn’t do anything else because they were convinced they wouldn’t fit in

[vital gyro]

God that looked like an ACE showw

Take me back to trench era

[thorn vector]

Meanwhile half of Manchester dressed up to go to war with DEMA

[noble canyon]

She kept saying "I think im the oldest swinger in town" 💀

[thorn vector]

😭

[tame prism]

It did😭 I wish I could’ve gone!! Honestly Trench SLAPPED!

[tidal furnace]

I wanted to go too 😭😭

[red mulch]

LMAO

[tidal furnace]

Also I was FUMING when the icy tour and takeover tour was only in London

[tame prism]

Made up for it with this one though!!

[thorn vector]

I saw someone’s nan in the queue and my parents were so confused

[vital gyro]

IT DID FRFRR i was more into them back then too which helped a lot icl

[thorn vector]

They genuinely couldn’t picture someone older than them being into tøp, but that’s because they only like the basic hits

[tame prism]

Scaled and icy just didn’t do it for me at the time, I like a hand full of songs off there now but still isn’t my fav

[red mulch]

i would’ve loved to go to the takeover tour

[tame prism]

I’ve been lowkey obsessed ever since tbh I listened too them before but no where near as much as I do now!

[vital gyro]

Omg yesterday I saw someone who had the og joshler art just in their clear backpack and that brought back MEMORIES 😳

[shadow sentinel]

I love the fit and other People's fits were so good yesterday

[sudden pebble]

I FINALLY MADE IT BACK HOME JEEZ

[tidal furnace]

Fair tbh, it's not some people's cup of tea

[thorn vector]

Hate to say that I didn’t like SAI when it came out at first too. Like I listened to the Outside and nothing else. A year passed and I realised what I was missing. Still regret missing the campfire tour

[rugged elk]

The guy I went with hadn't listened to Clancy yet because SAI put him off so much. Not that he hates it, he just loves self titled so much

[tame prism]

My friend who I went with she does not like it but tbh the lore made me understand it more and encourages me to give it a solid listen

[wheat cradle]

Luckily there were no seats of two available (booked in june last year) so my dad just waited outside, wouldn't want to have to try explain the pitiful amount of lore I know haha

[vital gyro]

I was into them for a good few years then it dipped then funnily enough my mate got me back into them by basically forcing me to listen to trench as he kept spamming my phone 😭😭

[tidal furnace]

Guess what the first tøp song I heard was chat

[thorn vector]

Made my friend watch like three hours of lore videos on YouTube whilst we made bracelets and hats

[tame prism]

Hahaha that’s so cool though!

[thorn vector]

Stressed Out

[tidal furnace]

STRESSED ABOUT 😭😭

But nopee

[thorn vector]

IM AORRYYY

[shadow sentinel]

I now prefer stressed about

[rugged elk]

House of Gold?

[wheat cradle]

I'm very upset that 99 people have reacted to this thread
If anyone else here hasn't yet, go do it. Make joshua proud

[tidal furnace]

Nope

[thorn vector]

Stressed about *insert life issue

[shadow sentinel]

Migraine?

[tidal furnace]

Nope

[thorn vector]

Banger

[tidal furnace]

I'll tell yall

It was......

[noble canyon]

Addict with a pen

[wheat cradle]

Bounce man?

[shadow sentinel]

I KNOW

[noble canyon]

Addict with a pen is OLDD

[tidal furnace]

NO FUCKING WAY YOU GOT IT, At 6 years old too-

[vital gyro]

Yeah!! I was omw back to the airport from a holiday i had last year and now that album will always remind me of that and yesterday too

[noble canyon]

Ayyy

[thorn vector]

NICE

[red mulch]

my first one was kitchen sink

[thorn vector]

Where on earth did you hear that

[noble canyon]

You are an OG for sure

[tidal furnace]

My older cousin was like 'do you want to hear a song about someone screaming about water' and the rest is history

[thorn vector]

I only heard top because stressed out was on the radio all the time in 2015

[shadow sentinel]

My first was Migraine

[tame prism]

That’s wicked!! I unfortunately was in quite a low spot so the album holds a lot of meaning too me and TØP as a whole tbh!

[wheat cradle]

I only heard top cos I have good music taste fr

[tame prism]

This!!!

[noble canyon]

2015 better times lol

[rugged elk]

I think that was the same for me but more so with youtube

[tame prism]

Fucking easier!! Adulting sucks💀

[thorn vector]

Weird to think if that one classmate in y4 had never asked the teacher to play stressed out in class, I’d never have asked my dad to play it in the car, I’d never had listened to their other music and I wouldn’t be the person I am today

[noble canyon]

Facts

[rugged elk]

Vevo era youtube was something else

[thorn vector]

VEVO oh my god forgot about serially watching MVs

[shadow sentinel]

Real

[vital gyro]

Aw no but I get that they've helped me when I was low, same with lpp

[rugged elk]

I think the second song I heard by them was House of Gold because those were some of the songs on Fueled by Ramen instead of the main account iirc

[thorn vector]

Yeah

People I’m friends with now only know stressed out and house of gold from their MVs

Insane imagery for a MV with such seemingly sweet lyrics

[tame prism]

It’s crazy because I sound obsessed when I talk to people about them bc I love them so much because of what their music helped me and so so many of us through!

[rugged elk]

True

[thorn vector]

Trying to explain the impact and influence of this band to none fans just makes you sound like a cultist

[rugged elk]

So there's this guy called clancy, and there are bishops...

[tame prism]

LITERALLY!

[vital gyro]

Exactly!! They're always there to help us too which is so nice, I'm greatful that our fanbase isn't that toxic and everyone's lovely to be around because we all come from a similar background if you get me?

[tame prism]

PHAHAAHHH😂💀 it sounds so whack but it’s so fucking awesome!

[shadow sentinel]

Exactly, my cousin calls me werid bc of how much I love them but he's young he doesn't understand them meaning behind the love we give them

[tame prism]

110%!!

[rugged elk]

Ikr it's crazy how the albums are all interwoven

[thorn vector]

“And then we sing sahlo folina which is like a call to creativity and to stand up against oppression” so you’re a rebellion against the state?… no?

[red mulch]

it’s so cool that they all link

[tame prism]

My partners a little like that he isn’t a big fan of them and thinks I am obsessed (which I lowkey am but you know) haha but I am like you don’t get it brooo😂💀

[wheat cradle]

I don't know much of the lore, I just go for the music mainly! ✌️

[tame prism]

It really is it took me a while to wrap my head around it tbh people in this server helped me😂

[thorn vector]

Just as valid 🙏

[tame prism]

Which still slaps!

[thorn vector]

So many bangers

[rugged elk]

I really hope they re-release the bonus track Vessel vinyl so I can add it to my collection

Then one day play them all in order

[thorn vector]

Kitchen sink my beloved

[red mulch]

yes me too i need to grow my vinyl collection more

[shadow sentinel]

Sometimes I tempted to carry a slide show around and give a prevention when anyone say why do you love TØP so much it's just werid

[red mulch]

REAL

[thorn vector]

Edgy early secondary school me and the vessel album

[rugged elk]

Amazon is pretty good tbf, I'd probably stay away from HMV tho

[tame prism]

Hahah it almost feels like you need to like people just don’t understand hahah

[summer sinew]

I can’t get over how good that show was

[tame prism]

May I ask why?👀

[rugged elk]

Unless you're getting a 3 for £55 deal or something

[tame prism]

Ahh price nvm! Haha

[thorn vector]

I had a sketchbook and like the first page was kitchen sink inspired…. Except my dumbass just drew a bathroom sink with kitchen sink lyrics and squiggles

[rugged elk]

HMV is around £10 extra I find

[magic heart]

I've got nothing but fakes from Amazon...CDs anyway

[red mulch]

i know hmw is so expensive i die a little inside

[tame prism]

Well shit!! I never really noticed tbh!

[rugged elk]

Paid £55 for Gorillaz self titled album 😭

[thorn vector]

I think my friend got me legitimate CDs of Amazon

[shadow sentinel]

Once my computers fixed I'm probably just gonna do it for fun and just to prove a point

[rugged elk]

Damn

[thorn vector]

I felt so bad, my best friend of the last five years got me Trench and Clancy on CD for my birthday last year and not a month later, we kind of stopped talking

[rugged elk]

It's great to walk around but it's got that "HMV tax"

[tame prism]

Lmao let me just information overload you with all this information about a band I LOVE just so you may understand a smidge of why I love them so dearly haha

[red mulch]

yeahh..

[rugged elk]

I did pick up a pretty cool exclusive vinyl from there so I guess it cancels out

[shadow sentinel]

I'll put pictures and videos to keep them entertained and then a quiz at the end

[thorn vector]

I can’t remember if it was tøp that did some liquid filled vinyls?

[tame prism]

Lmfao valid💀 I’m here for it!

[thorn vector]

I don’t collect them but they always look cool

[rugged elk]

I think I've seen those too

I've heard that the quality for those kinds of vinyls isn't as good as standard ones tho

No p(h)un intended

[shadow sentinel]

One question wrong means we gotta go through the PowerPoint again

[thorn vector]

I feel like I missed the pun

[tame prism]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-try-this-again-lauren-webber-laurenz-side-let-us-try-again-keep-trying-gif-19317099

[thorn vector]

Genuine question, has anyone made a lore PowerPoint I can use for my friends?

[shadow sentinel]

Not yet

[thorn vector]

Because we might have a PowerPoint night after exams and whilst I could make one, you really don’t have time for that rn

[tame prism]

I swear there was one that was made around when Clancy dropped??? I could be very wrong though

Or it may of been on YouTube actually🤔

[thorn vector]

Giggling at the lore videos on YouTube before paladin strait came out

[shadow sentinel]

There was a YouTube video

[rugged elk]

I don't mean "I heard" in the sense of actually hearing the vinyl itself, I mean that other people have said it's not as good

[thorn vector]

Still can’t believe we missed the clues for so long

[thorn vector]

AH, no that is funny

[rugged elk]

It was a pretty bad one ngl

[thorn vector]

I don’t really collect physical media for sound, I just have CDs because my car had no Bluetooth

But we just sold it 😔

[tame prism]

I thought so!

[thorn vector]

Bye bye car, you were quite literally as old as me

[tame prism]

Honestly!!!

[red mulch]

i saw one on tiktok explaining it wuite basically though

[rugged elk]

It's a good thing no one stole your car radio ☝️🤓

[wheat cradle]

Would be awesome
(If anyone ever does, please lemme know 😭)

[thorn vector]

😟

[shadow sentinel]

Now all I've got on my mind is making a PowerPoint presentation on why I love TØP and how they helped peopled

[thorn vector]

Now I just sit in silence

[tame prism]

A girl sat with a laptop by chance explaining it for her mum lol

[red mulch]

YEAH

[tame prism]

I saw it too💀

[red mulch]

LMAO

[tame prism]

I did think after like there was soooo many gaps that needed to be filled lmao

[red mulch]

there was she left out so much

[thorn vector]

I don’t like how social media like TikTok somehow knows what I do. My fyp has been full of doctor who and Thunderbolts this last week… until this morning where it changed to tøp Manchester without prompting

[rugged elk]

I feel like I might need to give one of those videos a watch, I haven't caught myself up in a while

[shadow sentinel]

SAME

[red mulch]

mines the same lmao

[shadow sentinel]

I love getting the 11th doctor edits

[tame prism]

She did!!

[thorn vector]

I sound like a conspiracy theorist but I genuinely wonder if there’s some kind of illegal data collection that we haven’t uncovered yet because this isn’t the first time things like that have happened

[rugged elk]

I hate that kind of stuff

[thorn vector]

You watching new series?

[shadow sentinel]

Yep

[rugged elk]

Oh there's definitely a lot of dubious data collection

[thorn vector]

Thunderbolts or cookies data collection?

[brazen void]

LEVEL UP: You are now level 4!

[summer sinew]

Post show depression has hit like a brick wall…

[shadow sentinel]

I watched every episode

[rugged elk]

Cookies data collection

[thorn vector]

How’re you finding it? I think the well was good but not so fond of the Ruby episode

[shadow sentinel]

It's 50/50 me

[thorn vector]

Recent one as interesting too

[thorn vector]

Real. I await the day we uncover the truth

[rugged elk]

I heard it's kinda fallen off recently but there's been a bit of a redemption

[shadow sentinel]

Rn it's i like an episode then don't, it's not the best run but definitely worth watching

But i sick of seeing hate on the 15th doctor

[thorn vector]

I like Ncuti and Varada

[shadow sentinel]

I think he's great

[thorn vector]

They’re a great duo

[shadow sentinel]

Still don't like the sonic

[thorn vector]

NEITHER

Why is it like a mouse

Sonic mouse

[shadow sentinel]

Sonic Remote

[shadow sentinel]

What's your favourite doctor, tardis interior and sonic?

[rugged elk]

Actually, he's a hedgehog

[thorn vector]

😎 actually, he’s a guy called Ben Schwartz

[rugged elk]

🤯

[thorn vector]

Well it’s hard to pick a favourite because I love twelve and he’s where I properly started watching, but I love Jodie Whittaker and David Tennant so much so I’m a little biased. Thirteen’s sonic is goofy shape but yellow is one of my fav colours, going off all time favourite I’d say eleven’s was the coolest. Sonic sunglasses were cool af though. Interior? Hmmmm, gonna have to say 9-10 for the grunge, and the 11 one with the orangey lighting

[shadow sentinel]

Those are good choices

I love jodie i just think she didn't get the right writing to shine properly

Especially compared to the previous doctors

[thorn vector]

For sure, her characterisation changed so rapidly from episode to episode

I liked how bubbly she was whilst also kind of repressing pain. I think it was a good step considering twelve thought Missy was going to be by his side and then she died, so going onwards thirteen’s opposite personality was logical. But then they just didn’t write her or the plot well

I didn’t mind a massive plot twist like the timeless child, I just didn’t like how it was done

I also don’t like that Dhawan master is after Michelle Gomez 😢

[shadow sentinel]

She reminded me of matt smiths being childish to avoid pain and remember his past

[thorn vector]

Exactly

[shadow sentinel]

And matt Smith is my doctor i have his sonic at home

[thorn vector]

I also think they should’ve been braver and pushed on the yaz and thirteen agenda

[thorn vector]

Nice! I have thirteens but it’s a little whack and only works half the time
