I would like to talk about Backing Tracks today. Do you think blink uses them too much?

Carousel was forced onto the greatest hits after fan outcry when the track listing came out. The only non-single outside of not now and another girl.
Jan calls it mid. Crazy.
Should have been Strings or Romeo & Rebecca 🤷♂️

What’s your favorite brand of ice cream? Hudsonville? Or do you prefer Ben & Jerry’s?
p.s. I stand by every single thing I said about backing tracks. Why do you keep bringing it back up?
Ben & Jerrys is good despite being overpriced - Half Baked is probably one of my favorites.
Otherwise a frozen yogurt serves me well - Blue Moon, Pistachio, Mint.

ok, because I made those stats up , just trying to catch you slippin. Better watch that ass
Don’t call me Diddy.
In before Diddy starts making awkward jokes to try and act like he didn’t have an epic meltdown about backing tracks again for 10 pages.
How’s work?

So you’re admitting you rated IRWIHY higher score out of 10 than you did Carousel?
No, Diddy.

Remember when you rated Carousel 6.5/10 and rated I Really Wish I Hated you a 7.5/10? Pepperidge Farm remembers
Carousel is better than anything off California or Nine. Not saying there aren't any bangers on either, but I'm just comparing it to other Chesire songs and the site collapses over it..

Strings has been consistently my favorite song off Chesire and in my top blink songs of their catalogue for a long time yet gets shit on regularly and I don't report or threaten bans.
We have different tastes ya'll 🤷♂️

In after Diddy says he was just joking and didn't mean anything he said and actually doesn't care that much and just wants someone to play 2K with him.

lol I hope Tom pisses off the Rubins and we get a tell all book from them
Aaron did do a tell all and clearly loves Tom like the rest of us, it's Travis' co and maybe Mark that he was having some minor disagreements it sounded like.
I'm excited for another tell all on any of that if he does it. Probably not. He seems very professional tbh.

“It’s okay when Tom does it.” My point I made earlier. Jesus, could have saved my energy with all this nonsense going back and forth with you. You aren’t arguing in good faith.
Tom was using teleprompters when they got back together. May still use promoters for all I know. But it seems to me that if anybody , Skiba would get the pass since he didn’t write those songs.
take a break
Tom pukes on tour and has bad allergies dating back to 2000. You're being too hard on him. It's just a guide for him.

Let me guess. You were one of the people ripping on Skiba for using backing tracks? It’s almost certain.
Teleprompter. It's complicated. I'm difficult.

Dude I spent years riding Tom's ass for being a lazy douche. This just isn't it. They're trying to make blink sound better live, you might not like it, but a lot of people do. I don't see it as something worth caring about. I appreciate the attempt to sound better personally
The actual irony in it is that some of the people here defending Tom now were all over Skiba for it and now it's suddenly okay. If I was going to pick a battle that would be it
So many arguments in one thread!! Can't handle!

In before Fap says he was just kidding and is sorry for overreacting and doesn't care that much and wants to know if anyone wants to hop on PGA.

98 Degrees, T-Pain, Backstreet/Nsync dudes. These guys got talent if you ever watch their unplugged or solo stuff. Sorry to burst your bubble Diddy.

I thought boybands were cool now? Or are they not on the Creed/Nickleback phase just yet?
I'm down to bump some Everybody on a friday night nowadays.

Jesus Christ dude. I don’t see how you miss how lame of a take that is. Pure boyband teenybopper take. You’d rather see someone press play on a stereo than actually perform? Hahahaha fucking losers dude
Are they pressing play on the stereo and just dancing? I missed this performance but I'd love to see it friend.

Have you watched the pro shots from South America? I’m not saying they don’t use backtracks. I’m saying Tom’s guitar is clearly in front of the mix.
or do you think they purposely record sloppy backing tracks with tons of wrong notes?!
It's not a debate or even any slight argument here. Dude's being a moron. The backing tracks are like volume 20, while Tom's guitars/vocals are volume 100. This shouldn't even be discussion.
Maybe diddy's headphones are like those lossless/sound dealios which enhances the backing sounds more than the rest of us? That happens sometimes, at least on streaming. No other explanation here.

I'd even go as far as to say, and I genuinely believe this, the ''backing tracks'' are a perfect balance to Tom's imperfections. He's imperfect of a player, especially live, and that's why we love him, but the backing tracks balances everything out damn near perfectly to keep the show flowing smoothly and feel immense every time. I think it's why we are so immersed in their live game right now. I usually check out and wouldn't watch more than one show viewing and call it a year for them. This is fun! Good move blink camp.

I'd be pissed if I paid big Ticketmaster money (like I did) to go see blink in a nice arena with big production only to hear shitty mistake-ridden guitar that doesn't sound full
I don't see why Diddy misses this. It's all cool and all to have a fully raw performance, but not sure now is the time at the venues they're playing and incorporating new songs/with videos synced/etc.
I'm done with this now, promise.

How can you think carousel is mid and call yourself a blink fan? Just doesn’t work.
It's a cornerstone song and a fine song I'm just saying it's mid in relation to their entire discography, and middle of pack exactly for Chesire/Dude Ranch tracklist.
20 minutes ago, Ghent said:It's like a cornerstone song for the band. One of the first songs you hear after "getting into" the band that seals the deal
I never said otherwise. Doesn't mean I magically like it better than the reset of Chesire/DR, or the rest of their discography.
3 minutes ago, Speedo said:I mean, at the end of the day are you going to suddenly change your tastes and adore Carousel? I wouldn’t worry about it.
It’s a fine enough song, just not one I’m dying to hear live.
Thanks Speedo.

Jan, defender of the boy bands. Good for you, hun.
4 minutes ago, JarJarBlinks said:these SA shows have just reinforced how much I love More Than You Know. So fucking good.
I think MTYK is going to be such a creep up song. It knocked me on my ass when it was first released, now I'm kind of indifferent to it, both live and on record. But it has so much depth to it, I think it will be the next Violence for me eventually. That guitar just rips. Written by K Thrash ghostwriters and all.
