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.

chris holmes took these photos. credit has been given.

May 17th, 2007 at 2:55 pm

May 17th, 2007 at 2:57 pm
It’s so funny how you look all happy even though you’re holding a broken bass in your hands.
And how did Shane cut his fingers???
May 17th, 2007 at 3:00 pm

May 17th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
ill take that broke ass bass. leave it at the studio c/o the necco wafer dude – dave
May 17th, 2007 at 4:08 pm
Dude, super glue fixes everything. Have him put it on his cut every day until it heals. I know that’s an old T Bark trick.
May 17th, 2007 at 4:09 pm
i love when you break the guitars live

*-*

o damn, shanes guitars look bloody. wth, howd you do that to your bass! lol
May 17th, 2007 at 6:59 pm
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
May 17th, 2007 at 7:16 pm
ahhh. that sounds painfull.
May 17th, 2007 at 7:31 pm
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…
May 17th, 2007 at 8:04 pm
i was there when you did this! it didnt just “break”, haha it was awesome though. thanks for making my dreams come true.
May 17th, 2007 at 8:09 pm
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.
May 17th, 2007 at 8:50 pm
NICE SHIRT. AWSOME SHIRT. I Like you fashion sense. no-homo.
May 17th, 2007 at 9:37 pm
deeeaaaaammmnn!!! That looks scary, by the way, what’s happened to your hair?
May 17th, 2007 at 10:05 pm

That’s got to be a bummer, those were custom made right?
Well..i’m sure Fender will have no problem furnishing you with another one.
I imagine you can afford it!

May 21st, 2007 at 6:08 pm
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.
May 22nd, 2007 at 3:42 am
poor Shane. should show us his fingers) please) you see they are so popular!
I don`t like your haircut it was better before but I think after the tour it`s gonna be the same?)
