TeeRoy's 2 Cents:
- Blink-182's rise was a good five to 10 years before Wayne's. How much overlap is there really between the two fanbases?
- You'd think Wayne's love for rock music and guitars would have made him fit right in.
- What is he on? Wayne's been performing for massive crowds for going on two decades. What does he mean he's not used to performing to a crowd?
- He might not have expressed himself clearly but it's pretty obvious that Wayne wasn't feeling the love from a crowd that is probably mostly made up of older Blink-182 fans.ย
- When the tour was announced, there was talk of a new Lil Wayne album with ticket purchase. Since then, he hasn't dropped or announced any new music.ย
- If he cancels these dates, it will free Wayne up to pop up atย OVO Fest.ย
- He's trying to say he didn't like playing to a half-empty arena as fans still found their seats and bought their drinks while they waited for the "real headliner" to go on.ย
- What a baby. The fans that are there paid good money to see you perform. It doesn't matter how many folks showed up -- you owe them a show.ย
- 50 years ago,ย Jimi Hendrixย once opened forย The Monkees. Wayne probably feels kinda like that.
If youโre the betting type, you might want to see if you can put some money onLilโ Wayne dropping out of his co-headlining tour with
Blink-182.
During a performance at Jiffy Lube Live in Bristow, Virginia, Weezy toldย the crowd, โPlease forgive meโฆbut I am so not used to performing to a crowd and thereโs not too many, you know, like still, thatโs not my swagโฆย Iโm not sure how long Iโm going to be able to do this tour, but make some noise for Blink-182 for including me anywayโฆ This might be my last night though, letโs go.โ
Weezy wound up playing just four songs before walking off stage. There are around 30 remaining dates on the tour. The next show is scheduled for Saturday night in Bangor, Maine. (Billboard)
