Ghent Posted January 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think it's probably a one show for Skiba unless things fall into place with him. I don't think it's the end for blink. They move on without Tom whether it's Skiba, whether they try out new guitarists, they said the show will go on and I think that is metaphorical.

boxelder Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 yeah this seems like a one and done. anyone think that KROQ headline is just mark/travis trying to scare tom? i know the PR says "indefinitely," but... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 here's where it gets confusing: "Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus plan to honor all Blink-182 commitments including the Musink Festival and are excited to have singer/guitarist Matt Skiba join them for this project." so, ALL prior commitments INCLUDING the show. to the album is happening. and matt is joining them. that's how i interpret it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Hmmm, well if this is truly the end again. Well I'm ok with that too. They showed what they could do after self titled, it was nice, but not as good, and I kinda have to doubt it ever could have been. Unless they gave something like this a full on shot, continuing blink with new music and Matt Skiba. I say they see how it goes and how Matt feels. I know he's obligated to Alkaline Trio, but I dunno, things can work themselves out. Either way, I'm actually overall happy about this. I'd be for another +44 album if they'd consider that too.

Capsov Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 I think Travis was really fed up with Tom's shit, just posting the news everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 THANK GOD!!! I knew it was coming. It's been obvious now for quite awhile that he was done with Blink. I am sure Mark and Travis finally called him on his bullshit. We knew that was coming too. Let him take AVA and fade into obscurity. I hope that Mark and Travis are able to move on with the music. It would be great to have another Plus 44. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aria Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Tom literally quit the same way he did last time around the same time. Ten years later. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 but doesn't the whole "matt will still be in ALKIII" thing kind of say otherwise? i think that means that matt is joining blink but will also continue making music with trio. so trio isn't breaking up, but matt will divide his time between the two bands.

High Value Man Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 SO SO GLAD that Mark and Travis finally grew a set and are moving on without TOM!!!! I think this would have happened last year if Tom's Dad didn't die. They kind of gave him a free pass on that. But the time was right for him to GTFO.

NotNow Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Why not just form a new band with Matt and play blink music at their shows? I still think it's weird to still call it blink but I guess they need the brand to back shows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wouldn't have said project or mentioned other commitments if it was just a show. And if it was just a show I doubt they would even bother.
