Blink-182 Rock MSG, Give Pete Wentz A Haircut

October 5, 2009


Saturday was a chaotic night at Madison Square Garden!!!

Following a fantastic show by Blink-182 and Fall Out Boy (one of their last of the tour), Blink frontman Mark Hoppus proceeded to give FOB bassist Pete Wentz a haircut – in front of some 20,000 fans!

“You guys know Jay-Z‘s ‘Death of Auto-Tune’?” Wentz asked the crowd. “This is the death of the Emo haircut.”

Hoppus then shaved Wentz’s head, before Wentz dove into backing vocals of “Saturday” off of 2003’s Take This To Your Grave. Completely unfazed!!

Watch the hilarity, above.

Quote of the Night

June 1, 2009

“Because Tom [DeLonge] has been such a serious artist for the past five years, he has about five years of obscenities backed up in his system. Given a microphone and an audience in front of him, I think he’s going to say so many out-of-line things that I’d like to apologize in advance for my friend.”
