  2. Yeah but neither have any actual impact on the music itself. You know that. And please, stop calling me sweetie when we disagree. It makes you sound like a condescending sexist twat. I know you only do it to rile me up but as a tip, women in general hate that - if you ever want to get laid in the future I'd drop that bullshit.

  3. I think a lot of that is to do with blink using that as the come back song in 2009 or at least hyping it as the come back song since it was released 2 years later, so it wasn't gonna be touched by AVA at all during the LOVE albums. Could've been used for the first 2 AVA albums though, but for some reason it wasn't. I love the riff actually but sometimes as a songwriter, you can have a great idea for a riff or lyric verses or whatever, but you feel like you can't fit it on the album you're recording. Or in some cases, you feel like you can't add more to the song yet, so you just leave it for ages. So maybe it wasn't rejected and they were just stuck when it came to that song. We have to remember that Up All Night was meant to sound very different compared to the finished version. I remember blink mentioning that it was very reliant on synths and that Travis had to change the drum beat in order to make Tom ignore a lot of the synths. Seems to be one of them songs that just took a long time. Love the song, but it shouldn't have been a single haha. Some songs are just difficult to work on and some can be finished pretty quickly. That song would've sucked big time for AVA I think and although I do like the song, it could've been way better than the finished product but obviously they didn't work together properly as a band.

  4. Yeah and half his tracks were writings from Blink. Distraction? It hurts? I think it's pretty safe to say Mark and Tom balance eachother out a bit. That contrast was a pretty big part of the formula.

  5. It's mostly Tom, yes, but I feel like the earlier releases were so much better because they did have some semblance of a normal functioning band. The more independent Tom is allowed to be, the worse the music imo

  6. It just seems that their input was incredibly minimal, I'm not exactly sure why everyones getting offended - were ya'll secret giant AVA fans during all this Tom bashing? The only AVA members input I ever rated was Atom's, because he's a solid drummer. the majority of AVA just sounds like Tom doing what Tom does.

  7. Holy crap. And that's how Tom would love to take UAN and convert it into a LOVE song? Jeez.

  8. The first clip sound almost like the final version. The intro is basically the same thing, and also the riff. The second one is total new to me and yeah, if it was to be part of UAN, it's rally different.

  9. Yeah Tom only said It Hurts and The War, but I'm sure close to half the ideas were leftover from Blink writing time. I mean..this one doesn't sound like Blink to you? Chorus, drums, intro guitar sounds straight Blink

  10. Perhaps he was debriefed on recent TTS sales/TTS Academy investments and had a sudden change of "heart".

  11. I don't hate this song, but wow. This sounds like something that could have been straight off of California from start to finish. Spend 3 seconds imagining Mark and Matt singing it and it's barely any different.

  14. I believe they were It Hurts and The War. I think another reason why the earlier AvA albums were better was because Tom was still in his prime at that point. 2010-2012 is when he began slipping - his voice starting going, his lyrics started becoming lame, his guitar riffs weren't that great, etc.

  15. The weirdest thing about it to me is that the visual effects in Jurassic Park were so groundbreaking, so mind-blowingly good for the time, and even now, 25 years later, it STILL looks fantastic. Jurassic Park changed special effects in movies. Jurassic World looks like every other movie out there. I enjoyed it but not enough for repeat viewings.

  16. David wrote All That We Are apart from the solo. Also don’t you call people sweetie or honey when you’re trying to make a point? It’s one of those words along those lines.

  17. The novelty of the battle royale format is fun - it rewards different styles of play (hiding, seeking enemies out, etc.). Destructible environments are fun. Building shit is fun. The controls, shooting mechanics, and weapons are fun. The art style is well done and the game runs very smoothly. It's free. They constantly update the game, adding new weapons and items, changing the map, adding interesting new game modes, etc. Tons of challenges, unlockables, cosmetics, etc. Tons of good things to like about the game.

  19. Finally got the knob. Pretty happy with how it came out, and it nails the Dude Ranch thing through a Mesa-ish patch. That being said, the invader is not the greatest pickup in an LP for most other things, in my opinion. A JB is my pickup of choice though so it may just be that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  21. Mark: I used to be super funny and cool, I love Disney Land more than I should, my son reminds me of my depressed self, please end gun violence, I totally have to see therapy over Tom, and I somehow manage to keep a perfect wife despite all this. Tom: I am completely lost in space ever since the painkillers dlimemna so let me take this awkward selfie and read some comments today, Ford caps are cool right?, Buy my shit, I mean invest, Announcement #182 like my old band #investTTS, my son and I play baseball and here's a preview of some acoustic shit I've been writing. Travis: My kids & Steve Aoki at Steve's 40th, here's my millionth project I am doing because like why not dudes, Blink is forever my home. Matt: Here's some shitty art, I am honored to be the cover guitarist in Blink 182, here's some shitty art next to me in a cast, here's me in a fedora next to some shitty art, I really care about this fan art someone made out of dog shit, Alk3 they will always be a part of me and we will write together again one day. That's basically my take from following and then unfollowing each of them...if they kept to their final points It'd be totally fine.
