blink-182 Just About to Walk Onstage at the Grammy’s

Just before we walked onstage at the Grammy’s, the three of us were huddled backstage in the basement of the Staples Center in a crowded holding area. The people who ran the show were going over our presentation and begging us not to go off-script. In the middle of the mayhem, our manager Paul Rosenberg took a photo that may turn out to be the best photo of all time. Travis looks like Travis. I look like a bad wax figurine, and Tom just looks scared. For those who dare, you can see the snap on Paul’s blog, at paulrosenblog.com

  38. Glen Contawe Says:

    shit first comment, i miss you guys..

  39. Greg Says:

    That’s a great photo. I wish Tom didn’t seem so out of place during the presentation. It was exciting to watch none the less. I was too young to see you guy’s before the hiatus, and am very VERY excited to see you when you come to town here in AZ!

    (I can’t believe Devoe is on management)

    Peace,
    Greg.

  50. kristie Says:

    lmao nice photo! Tom looks like someone just pinched his ass. BTW I was wondering how you guys choose what band/bands open for you guys when you go on tour. You should SERIOUSLY check out A Turnaround Life…they are amazing! =) Kristie

  51. Steve Says:

    Dude tell Tom to ditch the nut huggers and put some Skate/Surf clothes on.

  52. Dylan Says:

    Haha, I suppose I should’ve figured it was scripted. I think the announcement would’ve been much more awesome and epic if you went just a liiiiittle off-script.
    Blink is back, mother fuckers!!!
    That picture is brilliant, by the way. Heh, the first picture as far as I know of the reunited Blink-182… I don’t think you all could’ve picked a better one if you tried.

  53. Simon Says:

    Tom probably saw a ghost behind paul, or maybe an alien
