Knapppers Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Feldys going to be in this band sooner than later. Its just obvious. There was no need for him to be performing with them but yet he was. Its just the first step towards the inevitable. Imagine if this band just stopped after untitled. The biggest and most influential band of a generation and they called it quit after a career defining album. Instead we get this shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Instead of my favorite band quitting forever when I was a teenager, I've gotten awesome new albums and seen them on tour multiples times. The absolute horror! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's crazier than Tom IMHO. Tom would be back as a 4th before that. No way Mark gives up his 1/3rd of the spotlight on stage to that bleached dingleberry Dad. Trav and Mark said that the ONLY person who they could see taking Tom's place to continue Blink-182 was Skiba... Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark would def choose Feldmann over Skiba if it means he stays relevant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink w/Skiba is successful, why add an old bleached dingleberry to do a few jumps on stage? Because 10 people on a forum say he adds more to the shows that they don't plan on going to? Would be different if these shows were empty and no one got the new albums. I know it really hurts a lot of your feelings, but Blink is thriving, all things considered. Miles above what any of them and myself expected. Alive and well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 Blink is already thriving. With Feldmann in the band they would soar through the stratosphere 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I hope they can have a good record on the sleve right now, because on recent music history we've seen massive commercial flops, no matter how much money they ended up putting to market and place those records.

Meltdown Tracker Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 7 minutes ago, Ry-Bread said: You guys act as if they were in Honolulu while Feldy wrote California or they somehow cheated the system. They were at the studio from 7am-3am collaborating and writing. Yes Feldmann was involved to some degree, but to think Mark & Matt are just sitting there twiddling thumbs and then ultimately releasing stuff they had no part of is such a stretch IMO. Clearly there was a concerted effort to get Blink back to relevancy via their bread and butter = catchy pop punk. It's what needed to be done while trying to seamlessly implement a brand new member. All things considered, it worked brilliantly. Genuinely so much better than I expected, and I don't think people realize just how much that could've backfired by even trying to continue Blink without Tom. That takes major balls from Mark & Travis. I can't speak for other critics, but I don't feel that way entirely. I mean, the Feldmann criticism is pretty fair since he changed their sound (i.e. cheapened it) and did write some of the songs (we know he wrote Bored to Death and Mark just added the "life is too short to last long" bit). I don't think they're lazy or aren't working hard. I can respect that they put a lot of work into California and it was an honest effort on their part. It was a commercial success. In terms of the actual sound, it was a giant step backward for the band though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
