Broken Things

check out shane’s guitars. he cut his fingers onstage the other night and every time he plays he reopens the wound. now his instruments look like an episode of csi. sweatshop, his tech, had to buy a box of latex gloves to clean them every night. yikes!

also, just like the coffee table the other day, a bass of mine broke at the end of the show last night.

  32. Alfonso Soriano Says:

    How the hell can you cut your fingers enough to bleed on a guitar! Shane 0 Guitar 1 I guess the sheer rockingness level overloaded, my advice to Shane: get some gloves

  33. A L E X A 182 Says:

    ahhh. that sounds painfull.

  34. Jerry Says:

    dude, that had to hurt!
    sorry about the bass..

    hey i just heard about +44 playing blink songs
    nice job!!
    i hope to listen more blink song on +44 tours…

  35. AndrewC. Says:

    i was there when you did this! it didnt just “break”, haha it was awesome though. thanks for making my dreams come true.

  36. Jason Says:

    Man I hate it when that happens. You get all excited and into a song, and then at the end of the gig you look down and your freakin finger is bleeding everywhere. In my old band, all of us busted at least a finger. The drummer had blood flying everywhere, it was like some kind of biohazardous hurricane.

  37. Paolo Says:

    NICE SHIRT. AWSOME SHIRT. I Like you fashion sense. no-homo.

  38. Thessi Says:

    deeeaaaaammmnn!!! That looks scary, by the way, what’s happened to your hair?

  39. Jess Says:

    tell shane to wear a band-aid or something.

    i love your shirt.

  82. Dave Says:

    Well I knew Shane could play but DAMMMNNN! Yea, I was there that night at the concert. You all did awesome and I’m glad Shane still kept on even though it must have been some bad shit to play while bleeding. But hell, that just goes to show how much the fans matter. Oh, and thanks for playing “What’s My Age Again” at the concert, Mark. I always wanted to see Blink in concert and never had a chance. It was amazing to hear you guys play that for us. I really appreciate it. I hope to see all you guys again sometime. Enjoy the tour and keep spreading smiles across the fans faces.

  83. Sonny Says:

    I don`t like your haircut it was better before but I think after the tour it`s gonna be the same?)
