... Read moreAlright, fellow Banditos! Nova Bishop here, and if you’re anything like me, you live and breathe #twentyonepilots. This era, especially with the intense build-up to Clancy, has me dissecting every single detail, every cryptic message, and every, shall we say, 'memory' from Tyler Joseph. You know how much this band means to me, and watching those clips of Tyler in what looks like an *empty stadium*, wearing his signature *black hoodie and cap*, talking about remembering shows has me in a spiral of thoughts.
He says, 'I REMEMBER EVERY SHOW, EVERY PLACE I'VE EVER BEEN TO.' I could feel the weight of those words, picturing all the incredible venues they've played, the energy of the crowds. But then, in true Tyler fashion, there's that quick, mischievous 'I'M JUST KIDDING.' It makes you smile, doesn't it? That playful side is such a core part of his charm. Yet, a moment later, he looks genuinely puzzled, asking, 'WHAT'S THAT?' or even questioning, 'I'VE BEEN HERE TWICE?' It's such a pure, unfiltered look into his mind, and it honestly just makes him even more relatable.
After all these years, countless tours, and an insane amount of travel, it’s completely human to have some of those memories blur. But what I truly believe is that while the specifics might occasionally get fuzzy, the feeling of those moments, the connection with every single one of us in the audience, that’s what truly stays with him. It’s not about recalling every single brick in every stadium, but the shared experience, the collective roar of the crowd, the sea of phone lights – those are the things that leave a lasting imprint. Even seeing him in that empty stadium makes you reflect on the quiet moments before the storm, before the fans fill every seat.
With the #ClancyTourBreach and all the incredible lore surrounding the upcoming album, these kinds of personal interactions feel even more significant. It reminds us that behind the epic narratives and groundbreaking music, there's a human being who has been on an unbelievable journey alongside us. His playful memory lapses or his genuine moments of questioning simply make him feel more real and approachable. It's like he's inviting us into his world, even the slightly chaotic, wonderfully human parts of it.
For me, as someone who has followed twenty one pilots for so long, these snippets are absolutely precious. They’re little glimpses that showcase the personality behind the artistry, reinforcing why we love this band so much. It makes me even more excited for the Clancy Tour. What new memories will we create? What inside jokes will emerge? Will Tyler 'remember' us next time? 😉 It’s all part of the magic of being in the #twentyonepilots family.
