    The tour grossed $85 million. Someone on Reddit said Mark, Tom and Travis most likely walked away with only $8 million each so they are probably struggling artists. 

    You know it’s pretty crazy I read that article about the $85 million and then I ran my tour calculation and that’s exactly what I came up with 8.5 million a piece pretax. To arrive at what each member makes you generally take 30% of the gross and then divided by the three members that usually works without fail. It doesn’t include all money they made off merchandise

  2. Hard to believe I come back here and its like 2016 all over again where Ghent and Jarjar are all over Feldmann and California. Lord help me please!

    But to get back on topic, I am not super excited for this album if Edging is the direction they are headed. I am hoping thats a one off, but I am scared its not.

    fixed your post. what an absolute self-own.

    Meh, whatever. He was a saw'd off prick. Songwriter for hire. I don't really care. California was a legit disaster. On relisten, there are maybe 2 good songs on it, tops.

    Although FeldmanN turned it around on NINE, but I tend to think he had less involvement with that one. I would have loved for them to continue to go in the direction of NINE with Skiba. But those looking to go back to the California days need their head examined. It was their worst album.

    Yeah I don't know what Oliver is talking about California or NINE dragging us through the mud. California came out before that tour and it was a proper album tour with proper album theming. They met their schedule, did the media stuff right, and executed the whole thing as planned. It reminded me what a real band felt like again.

    Now we're kind of stuck in the middle. No one knows what's going on because the band won't do media. It's a snooze besides the awesome shows

    Huh, I don't remember that at all. My memory is fuzzy (percs) but I remember endless delays, especially with California, and when they did finally release new material, they hardly played it on tour.

    They scrapped an entire album before Feldman came on board and wrote it for them.

    it isn't just about Tom either.  Like I've droned on and on about on this board, the Untitled recording process ruined Mark and Travis as well.

    Hate or love the Skiba era, Feldman got shit done.  Feldman wrote songs, scrapped songs, wrote more, did press etc and toured.  Skiba gets the boot and all of a sudden we're back to delays and pushed back release dates, with a single that's a year old.

  6. I am so glad I am not on pins and needles waiting for a new album from Blink. I remember those days and getting dragged through that mud: Neighborhoods, California, NINE, the Blinkumentary.

    You all should be use to it by now.

    Despite Blink putting on amazing show this go around and seemingly resolving all of their issues; they are still very much living off their nostalgia and quick touring cash is priority over new music. 

    Just compare this to Blink of the 1990's. Dude Ranch 1997 and by the end of 1998 they were inserting Enema songs into their setlist. Those were the days they had something to prove musically.

  7. Thanks for the warning, but sadly, fake stuff is sold on ebay all the time, and not much can be done about it.

    As far as real flyswatter tapes; its been determine that there is simply no longer anyway to know what is real and what is fake unless Mark lists one of his originals for sale.

    theres no doubt mark tom and travis are outstanding songwriters (travis for the drums but thats still a huge part of any song that has drum and part of songwriting)

    as humans tho theres a huge lack of actualization and self devlopment comming from mark and tom, i think travis is fine hes very poised and as come a long way 

    in the end, this made me realise that oliver is one of the person i like the most on this board, hes very genuine and that overrides alot of stuff

    man i hope he tells us someday what is that damn scoop about tom flirting with other womin :)

     

    Thanks I appreciate it! Sorry I forgot to reply to you pm yes I am oliver. 

    I agree with your assessment on them. Travis has come a long way.

  9. Okay well. That’s fine. The thing is it might sound like I’m more angry than I am. I don’t have a Mark voodoo doll in my house or anger and hate towards him.I honestly don’t give blink that much thought anymore beyond their music.  I’m just saying my opinion. In my years of following the band. So I can agree to disagree.

    A) mark doesn’t owe us anything

    b) multiple places did fundraisers. Say hi to one and you’ve got an obligation to do all of them

    C) he was dealing with having cancer for fucks sake. Probably had a bit more on his mind than pooping onto blink-182online to create an account and start posting.

    I didn’t know that Mark has been dealing with cancer for 20+ years that’s really interesting. You’re absolutely correct Mark doesn’t Owe us anything and I don’t know him An understanding. Nor am I under any obligation to have a positive opinion of him. Boom

    Someone needs to ask Mark what he thinks about ole blink-182online.com one of these days. I didn't have the sack to at my last photo op with them lol.

    "Hey Mark, you ever heard of Ghent?"

    That’s part of the reason he’s a douche bag. 20+ years of this board dedicated to his band; did a fundraiser couldnt even be fucked to even type in the address and come here.

  12. To be fair; Mark is probably the most tolerable of the lot; but is still a d bag. But he is the subject of the discussion since Davey is up his butt and this is a topic about that.

    it’s just a turn off for me. That’s all. And it’s not just an online thing ; like I said when I was in line waiting to meet blink-182 in 2016 it was all these dudes who were just having dick measuring contests about who was the bigger blink fan “ I’ve seen them 10 times in concert” “well that’s nothing I have the rare enema version with the pink sticker” “oh well that’s nothing Mark said hi to me on twitter”

     

    I think if I had a pistol I would have blown my brains out. 

  13. I don't think Davey is a bad guy. He's been very nice. The whole "I am friends with Mark" thing is just Ew for me. A turn off. Dude literally came back and first post out of the gate is a lip service tweet from Mark.

    "Hi Guys, yes I barely know Mark, and that should make me special."

    Just not feeling it.

  14. I can't imagine posting in a place where freedom of speech in censored and everyone has to have a certain opinion (a positive one about Blink) or get banned.

    Thats such a strange world to live in. 

    My intent has never been to shit on Blink; but provide objective truths. They write great music, their live show is amazing now, they have survived so much crazy stuff to come back. They aren't really good people. 

    You want an example of a great celebrity, check out Robert Patrick, T-1000 from Terminator, dude is the most nicest genuine person ever. You meet that guy and will talk to you like you've been buddies your whole life.

  15. You all have grown soft in your old age. This thread use to be standard faire in the Blink section. In fact, this is fairly tame compared to even 2016.

    How can we forget the endless tirade on California and Feldman (that saw'd off prick).

    Now its one little thread and oh noes! That big bad co owner hates Blink! 😂

    I speak my truth, and I kept it in one thread.
