Of course, I never blamed only Feldmann. In fact, I don't think it's not a matter of blaming anyoe. It all is about decissions, and from my side, I only criticize that under my point of view. I'm not blaming anyone for anything. He's an industry guy, kind of s puppet if you ask me. But the final decission comes to blink. They have to deal and figure out what they want or not.

Nah, it was on february 3rd, 1959.

If all his 'best work' has to be what California is all about, and taken out off of AK3, then as AK3 fan I'm super happy that stuff is out of the band, to be honest.

Feldmann himself said about his new Goldfinger record that he made ir using some ideas that nobody wanted on other records. Not in a bad sense, I mean, were songs written for other bands that got stuck on the shelves. That's why the fisrt single of The Knife, for example, sounds so california-ish, as See You Around. I'm pretty sure those two were meant to be for California. Somehow, the first sinfle was re-written and transformed into Parking Lot. Yeah, Feldmann does the same shit over and over and over.

Yeah, at least in the mainstream. Lately, bands such The Vaccines on their first album did something interesting which connected with an old rock 'n' roll vibe. Fortunately, on the non mainstream side of things, there are bands which are still into rock 'n' roll and blues, but they are hard to find, unless you're really into your local scene, digging the shit out of it and following all the threads. Recently, I also found a local band here in Spain which does Doo-Wop. Crazy. On the internet? Forget about it, it all is been predated by majors. The control they are taking over streaming services is absolutely nauseous.

Well, at this point, I don't really know what makes sense, to be honest.

I don't think he's out. The guy loves AK3. I'd be very surprised if that happens. I mean, in fact, nobody confirmed they are writing for AK3, so those pictures could be from a writing session of a side project, if we speculate.

New Pennywise record is good. But really: go check out the new Satanic Surfer's one. Is brutal.

I agree on that: they need to change environment. And moreover, I still think they need another producer. Someone who can really push them musically speaking. Wich is a really different thing than to rush them to produce songs.

HOLY SHIT! DAT BASS LINE.

That's it. The whole video is worth watching. In the beginning they do a quick explanation of what the hell was rock 'n' roll back in the day and how it worked and how connected with people. This is what lot of people have been saying throught the years, some of those in a very critical way. Music industry has always been controlled, that's for sure. But as they said, as long as the business worked due to sales, the artists had the chance to have more integrity and independence. But something happened: once the majors wanted full control, and, later on, once they started to lose money when records dropped sales, then they found another formula: total control. From the 'factory' to the way it is marketed and consumed. But hey, it's all a conspiracy.

This guy is great. Been following his videos too. The man knows pretty well his shit.

Are you sure? The guy can't barely sing his own songs live. Skiba may have trouble playing some old blink songs, Feldmann, aside for looking like an old man with springs in his heels, can't sing. In this performance, the song is pretty much sustained by the rest of the band. I mean, to me blink is not in its best moment, but I wouldn't like to see Feldmann joining them. I mean, by any means.

I don't know. I agree with the fact that Matt is not the right shoice, specially if he has to be someone who really is not. But come on... aside from accepting the obious, do you really want Feldmann to take Tom's shoes? That creepy hyperactive dude?

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