Kay Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yeah that performance seems totally fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Matt's lyrics are full of references to him over indulging, alcoholism, and killing himself. But no clue if that's indicative of where he's at now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well considering that show was three days ago, I'd say he's pretty far removed from "playing in a pool of his own vomit and blood" status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say that's what happened. But there are reports of him being wasted. Skipping parts and the setlist out of order. Mental confusion. A disgusting display.

Resident Zoomer Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Only video from that night so far. Seems fine in this. Interested if someone has a video of Dan supposedly interrupting him. Side Note: Either I haven’t listened to this song much but I never knew Dan screamed in this song, it’s awesome as hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I truly do hope he doesn't have an alcohol problem. But I would like it to be the straw the broke the camel's back and that he is fired from Blink a la Scott Rayner. He adds nothing. Go pull a random guitarist/singer off the street for Blink and have him be twice as good. Needing a teleprompter 4 years into the band, screws up basic guitar parts, very little input into the songwriting, no energy during Blink shows........ fuck off dude. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if he has a problem and is going off the rails, it will be pretty easy for Blink to fire him. He adds nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 At this point all the members of blink are scam artists no better than Tom. Desperately need a new band that semi resembles punk to blow up and motivate these guys again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Travis is the only one who'd be cool with a legit band. But even he is willing to feed off the scraps of the bands former glory.

Kay Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I don't like what blink has become with Skiba's involvement, but I don't remotely see it as Skiba's fault. and its only a rumour so far that he was messed up for one alk3 show, from the footage I've seen he's been on point and if he isn't on point with blink I'd imagine it's a combo of relying on backing tracks and not enough proper rehearsals, plus it isn't his material.

Elisa Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 I searched on the Alkaline Trio fb group but all the comments about the show in Boston were positive. There are also a few videos from that night on the group and he sounds fine to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Value Boy Posted August 20, 2018 Report Share Posted August 20, 2018 Wouldn't surprise me if Alkaline Trio break up soon to be honest. Reckon Matt chasing the $$$ over his own band probably pisses the other two members off quite a bit. What do they do while he's making an absolute killing? I doubt they have enough money to take years out at a time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to kind of feed the beast for a bit. Having watched these videos of Matt, he belongs in Alkaline Trio not in Blink, he is actually really decent when he actually has control and fits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
