I come from the land of "it's ok to interpret lyrics as queer but that doesn't have to extend to the artists's personal life" so please don't come for me, but:

Has anyone else ever thought of the lyrics from The Tension and the Terror from a queer lens? I have thought about this since I was 14 20 years ago. I'm not saying anything about John, Shaun, Will, or Michelle. I know lyrics can be inspired by so many things but I needed to ask!

I saw a vinyl release that had lyrics printed on the inset, but they’re jumbled and out of order and not exactly how they are sang on the record. I remember back in the day reading that that’s how Adam writes, then he uses the bits and pieces to fit into the music/song. I can’t find a high enough quality image to read them. Does anyone know where I can find these “original” lyrics?

Thanks!

What happened to Mark?

Honestly i just watched the whole set on YouTube and i thought it sounded great. I would have left happy if i went to the show. That’s all. Be kind.

So I think the former guys should from a band and play TBS songs. Fred and Fazzi handling the vocals/guitars and Eddie playing guitar as well! Rhythm section should be Rubano and Mark (if indeed he isn’t in it anymore). They would probably be a way better than the current TBS! What do you all think?

And they could be called Sunday Revival! lol

Quite a permanent move if you ask me. I don't know about you guys but I'm done wondering if he's gone. I think this is the closest we get to an official statement.

At WWWY Soup said he would like to tour with TBS. Could we get a petition going for a The Wonder Years/Taking Back Sunday/The Used Sad Summer 2025 lineup? Not to mention how sick a collab would be with any of them…

I’ve seen a few people sharing a video of Adams handstand attempt and bashing him. Meanwhile I’m here like, he’s always done wild shit on stage?!🫠. They just posted this.

God I love them 😂😂

TBS were announced as headliners for 2000 Trees festival next summer and the photo that’s on the festival website only features John, Adam & Sean…I guess this makes for official confirmation that Mark has gone without saying it in so many words and drawing direct attention to it/the band’s ridiculous history of line up changes?! It’s a real shame if so, he’s one of the best drummers in the scene and contributed so much to the band.

Hi all. I've been wanting a TBS tattoo forever. Finally got one today and thought I'd share it with you.

Being from NC, I felt like I had to get the TAYF 152 sign. I really like how it turned out.

Feel free to share your own TBS tattoos too if you want and haven't before.

Amazing. Highlight of wwwy for me.

10/10

Band sounded amazing

Interviews like this are why I continue to fw taking back Sunday. Adam is a great dude. Does he sing so well all the time? No. But there is this:

At WWWY and wondering what is going on with this performance

I tried giving it time. It’s simply not Taking Back Sunday. No passion,no angst, no dueling vocals. I know a lot of you are folks who learned about TBS later in the game (after WYWTB), but anyone who says S’old or any other song on 152 is similar to classic TBS (TAYF or WYWTB or even Louder Now) simply never knew classic TBS. Straight up. You’re just wrong. I don’t care what BS you try to spin or how many concerts you’ve been to.

If I had you blind-listen to this album without telling you that it was TBS, it would not get the love it gets from you all. You’re blinded by the name on the cover. Those are just the facts. Flame away if you want, but this is some other band just using the TBS name.

PS: To be clear, there is nothing wrong with liking 152. I really like amphetamine smiles and can rock out to S’old. But those songs are by Taking Back Monday, cause it sure ain’t TBS.

I went to buy tickets for the Saturday Starland date and it was almost $300 for two tickets! I could have sworn I got 2 for around $100 last year, or am I being delusional about that?? Will I have better luck if I actually go to the box office?

The band absolutely killed it. Saw them last night for their show with The Used and and although I thought they still did great that show they CLEARLY saved some in the tank for today and this crowd was silent and it was a damn shame. Adam was prime and so was everyone else and the crowd was just silent. Hopefully they get a Louder (Now) crowd tomorrow for their set.

Was an alternative version of the song, idk if it was live or not but I can’t find it anywhere anymore. Used to have it saved to the cloud on my google music but they got rid of that service and my digital library became extinct 😫

Edit: It’s the 26th street shakedown, not 23rd. Close enough lol. Still can’t find it even on YouTube

In vegas so can meet up and transfer if anyone is looking! $100.

Played so many random songs no one knows or cares about ! Which … I guess would be fine if the lead singer could mutter actual English. He was either wasted or hit his head. He incorrectly sang all the classics as well. I’ve never seen anything that bad. Modest mouse on heroin was more put together than what TBS put on stage last night.

On Apple Music the transition from the first track into Liar is spaced out by a fraction of a second, but feels huge. Is it like that on Spotify? And is there a fix?
