Champ182 Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Haha I'm not sure Travis has even mentioned ska publicly since leaving the Aquabats, let alone thinks of himself as an "OG rude boy" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speedo Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 @Ghent and @Olidamus I propose that everytime Knapton posts a comment without some sort of spelling error we should come up with some sort of prize. The above post is not an example of that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feldmann was already raking it in and successful with other bands like 5sos, Hillary Duff, Ashely Simpson, Good Charlotte, All Time Low, Atreyu, and Story of the Year. Cringe. Feldmann probably has better job protection though. Somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammerpipe Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 “Two OG rude boys”... Jesus feldmann is a tool. I’ve always liked tom more than anyone else in the blink camp cause he marches to the beat of his own drum and he doesn’t give a fuck about being “cool” in others eyes. If he thinks it’s cool, then in his own eyes he cool. There’s a lot to be said for that, even if I don’t always think toms making the right decisions for himself.

Crazy Tom only serves to endear him more to me. I love the guy, been an idol of mine since Enema. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink came back from the dead to the 'relevance' again. Skiba went from being a total unknown musician (except for AK3 fans or old fucks that were aware of the scene back in the day), to front a band as blink, whith way more public attention; and Feldmann, although being one of the most famous producers of the industry right now, now has attacked his name to this band. So is a WIN-WIN-WIN situation for all parts in terms of relevance, visibility and, of course, money. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's well-said, however I think Feldmann is the only one who has come out with more credibility than he had before. He had success with shitty pop bands and now he gets to glom onto the Blink name and it probably feels pretty cool. Blink and Skiba both got a bigger taste of pop relevance/visibility/money but it seems like their reputations among hardcore fans took a hit from the Cali era. I know that's something this board will never see eye to eye on haha but that's DEFINITELY the sense I get from the outside world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink in their prime starting 1999-2000s were bigger than alot of people you would call big these days ...they were massive! Getting a grammy nomination and being relevant for a few months was nothing compared to then... And skiba was big in alkaline trio he wasnt just a nobody that hit the big time with blink lol he might of got a big payday from touring but the casual blink listener wouldnt even notice that skiba isnt tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 The only reason why Blink is still relevant today is because they were so massive in the late 90s/early 2000s. They've done everything possible to make themselves not relevant, I'm actually surprised they haven't faded even more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 The industry was a lot bigger then. They were part of the machine that was MTV, arguably at it's peak. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never measure artists by commercial success or impact. But people do. And Alkaline Trio, compared to Blink, was almost nothing (and I'm a huge AK3 fan since yesteryear).

_Kyle_ Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I'd say they were a mid-tier band. They could sell out theatres pretty easily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 It's really sad that Bored to Death has now become a time indicator in my life and will soon be known as 'remember that time Blink 182 made another song?'.

Time goes by so fast Yep, because I had just recently discovered Neighborhoods and DED after forgetting blink after the Up All Night release. Dove into The Dreamwalker like crazy, even though I knew Skiba was in the new lineup. I anticipated Bored to Death so much. I remember the apartment I lived in at the time, the courses I was taking, my development as a person, my family dynamics. It hasn't really been that long, but it sort of has. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Feldmann might actually be the spawn of Satan all things considered. Just super manipulative and sneaky, all with one giant smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
