To be fair to Skiba I'd take a few off notes over entire songs being near unrecognisable due to shitty guitar tones and slurred vocals, which is what we were getting from Tom by the end.

Oh I know. Still had more fun at Tom's shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig182 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Any ALK3 fans know what Skiba is like in their live shows? Is he likely to come out of his shell more for blink as time goes on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just listened to Dude Ranch. Makes me nostalgic. What can I say? Came here to vent. And I'd claim to not be a Tombot (seen +44 twice, never saw Ava once) but that just makes me sound more like a Tombot so yeah... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if Skiba was ever going to be more comfortable onstage it would've happened a long time ago. And no, Skiba kinda stood there with Alk3 too.

If he jumped around like Tom used to would you come here and complain that Skiba is just ripping Tom off instead of trying to be himself?

Dylan_ Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 I love Skiba but blink is a fun band and he is boring as bat shit on stage. He looked like a robot playing guitar when I saw them live back in October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig182 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 In all fairness thinking about it, when I saw blink in 2012 Tom hardly moved, didn't once come over to the side of the stage I was stood by. Mark was his usual self, skipping around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 (Any of my Skiba memes comes with an automatic asterisk noting that I like Skiba but that picture just fits perfectly with this fictional version of him) Back to our scheduled programming... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen them a few times since the reunion and he didn't really jump around but he did interact with the crowd a lot which was hilarious. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted December 15, 2016 Report Share Posted December 15, 2016 Maybe Matt should start flailing his arms around and yodeling to really capture the blink spirit. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is saying for him to act like Tom. Where do you see people saying that? I just want him to look alive a little. He looks like he is a rhythm guitarist who is asked to stand at the back of the stage and not to move. Maybe that's what Mark has actually told him lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Doesn't really show much. Still pretty boring. But like I said, I love me some Skiba and think he is great in AK3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig182 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 So, the two main gripes people seem to be having lately are: 1) blinks music is to pop punk 2) blinks stage presence isn't pop punk enough 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he likely to come out of his shell more for blink as time goes on? I don't think so. He's being Matt, just as he is: on stage, off stage and with all his weirdness and all. Anyway, Alkaline Trio and blink are different bands with different members. In AK3 you can hear some banter between Dan and Matt, but is a different banter. Also, I think 'we' all should forget about Skiba being more Tom-ish onstage, which is what some people want to see. He's, to put it simply, not Tom, so I don't think we are going to see a kind of old school blink banter onstage. You can see the live in las vegas show which is floating around youtube to see how an AK3 show is. And also some fan recorded ones in order to have an idea of their onstage presence.
