Nosferatu Posted August 15, 2017 Report Share Posted August 15, 2017 The mixing on that is really bad, so I feel like I can't judge the guitars or whatever on that. The mixing on here is pretty good, but I do think his guitar needs more balls to it. It's ok but the bass and the drums have way more power than his guitar from 2009 and onwards.

Because Tom is stupid and built his sound around the acoustics of a practice room instead of an arena. His guitar has more treble which sounded louder and had more power in a smaller room but shit the bed in an open arena. Which ... what does that say about his guitar techs and sound guys? There are a whole lot of yes men in the Blink camp. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was in the beginning, they had so much fun and they actually sound great here! Awesome show This sounds like dog shit and I actually like some post reunion Tom perfomances. I always love this show. Theyre mixed perfect/backing tracks just aparent enough, everyone has great energy and while Tom is wasted I actually dont mind him at all here. This shits on anything Skiba has done IMO. The bridge to last chorus on Feeling this is great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 ah, i forgot about one of my least favorite tom things. the drunken little kid-esque "punk rock" yelling... available at 2:28 in that vid and plenty more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lauren Posted August 16, 2017 Report Share Posted August 16, 2017 I enjoy those more than watching current blink. More energy, stage movement. Sure shitty guitar sound and some cringy yelling. But i like it more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially if you watch the footage of Obvious where he sounds like he's literally taking a massive shit during the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This shits on anything Skiba has done IMO. The bridge to last chorus on Feeling this is great That is a GREAT version of feeling this. I like how Tom kind of bashes on an E under "this place was never the same again after you came". Honestly think this is peak post hiatus blink. Also like how Mark is wearing a blue t-shirt. That's pretty minor and nit-picky, I know, but I always thought they just looked cooler when they weren't wearing all black. That little European run was good. Between that show and this interview with Tom where he is down-to-earth and cool as shit, it really seemed like Blink was really back for a minute there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeling_This_1 Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Tom just got progressively worse after the reunion in so many ways. His voice, guitar tone, and clothing choices got worse as time went on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 i gotta say too, i always liked the extended instrumental after the bridge in feeling this they'd do. i don't think they do it anymore. i remember seeing this the night of the first reunion show and observing how much energy there was: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 less than jake was playing a show here tonight, and i asked chris about "the rest of my life" and working on it with mark. i wanted to clarify what was mark's input, which part is his work? chris said they worked together on the song, but the chorus lyrics was entirely mark, and it was the base of the song. he talked about it as a very blink sounding song, "if you listen to it, you can hear blink in it", and he was wondering why didn't it end up as a blink song. i told him blink was on hiatus when the song was born, and as he realized it he kind of agreed that this could have been the reason why mark wrote such a sad, personal song for another band. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I love about Less Than Jake, so down to earth just enjoying themselves. They came out and just talked and had a couple of beers at the show I went to too. So great people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thongrider Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 I love "Rest of My Life"! One of the greatest song the last 12 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Yeah, I like that song too. Not a fan of that band but that song is pretty great IMO. A lot of Mark moments in the lyrics like "Somehow it feels so familiar, somehow it seems so familiar". The way he repeats the same sentence but changes a couple of words. I like hearing that in blink too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Sorry but I disagree, the song is fucking awful. Compared to things like The Science Of Selling Yourself Short it's a piece of shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 This happened where I lived 16 years ago. I remember it being advertised way back then. This would be such an awesome show. And OMG i just youtubed Project Wyze and their big song was one Ive been trying to remember for years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
