Ghost Posted September 14, 2018 Report Share Posted September 14, 2018 I agree with you all. Still doesn't really feel like Matt is a 100% full member of the band, specially because his signature songwritting is not there. But that's my perception. Anyways, I'm fine with the situation. From my AK3 fan side point of view, and listeining to the AK3 new album, I'm ok with Matt making money in his side-project blink, while investing and keepin' in really good shape for his main band, AK3. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar work and all. So I do think the next Blink record can be great. The funny thing is through all of this, I've actually become a big Matt/Alk3 fan, and less of a Mark/Tom fan. At least Matt works, and is constantly working on music. Still love Trav, just not into his hip-hop stuff really, and the Goldfinger gig took him down a notch. I got into Alkaline Trio because of blink, and became a bigger fan while at it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now I'd rather have that than what we got. 8 hours ago, Ghost said: I still think that if they work together with a proper producer, and letting Mat tcome full in on the songwriting process, blink wouldn't sound as AK3. They probably wouldn’t sound like AK3 anyways. Even with the dark subtle Matt influences, once Mark enters with his lyrics and influences (the good kind) and Travis plays his drums, it could end up sounding like post-reunion blink, based on more of Mark’s side. In worst (or best IMO) circumstances it would sound like +44. I think we’ve got a glimpse of the true sound of blink-182 w/ Matt Skiba with “Hey I’m Sorry” and “Last Train Home”. “Hey I’m Sorry” sounds like a modern, mature blink-182 track with heavy Mark influences. “Last Train Home” opens up to be a lost AK3 track until Mark enters the song and balances it out. I honestly believe the two could actually have chemistry if everyone (including himself) stopped forcing Matt to be something he’s not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 Matt didn't realize that this was fan art when he saw the post. That guy just made a custom Skiba (using Mark's funko), and added Trav's new "Blessed" tattoo. Really cool display/work though! I just don't get this Funko stuff.

Neal Posted September 19, 2018 Report Share Posted September 19, 2018 kind of confirms that the state of blink isn't 100% clear businesswise.... if matt would be a full time member and 1/3 of the band, they would've done the complete band.

If you watch that longer video, he actually explained that his eyes are extremely sensitive to light and it gives him a headache. That is why he says he wears sunglasses inside and often low hats on stage. (He also told a story about a branch going through his eye as a kid mowing the lawn, not sure if they are related.)

Champ182 Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 didn't that lady sexually assault a teenager? probably not a good look for old Skiba to be throwing out anti-cop captions in pics with her, jesus. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zzzz Posted September 22, 2018 Report Share Posted September 22, 2018 He disabled comments on the pictures with her, lol. Apparently she was a big proponent of the #MeToo movement, and now it has came out that she slept with a 17 year old, whom Anthony Bourdain paid to keep quiet on her behalf... Not sure if he’s dating her or what, but I’m sure he’ll hear about it in the comments which is why he disabled them ASAP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
