Finally got this painted up, I think it turned out pretty nice!

River Cuomo is putting all of his demos from every weezer album in Dropbox folders and selling them on his site for 9 bucks each. The first one for everything will be alright in the end (considered the holy grail for weezer fans because of how many known unreleased songs there are) has over 500 files just for that album alone. Around 30-50 unreleased songs that are essentially complete songs that are good quality just not really mixed / maybe finally tracked. Many songs have 20+ versions and you can see how the song progressed through writing. People have wanted to hear these songs for over fi

Tom Lord Alge opens the session for Sum 41's Fat Lip and shows how he did a flanger effect manually back in the day and how to do it in the DAW Maybe a video on the mixing the songs from TOYPAJ or the Untitled album ?

Mate...

Worst troll ever

hey, here's to you, monsters of califorrrrrrrrrrniaaaaaaaaaa

This discussion inspired me to listen to Green Day’s latest album. “I was a teenage teenager full of piss and vinegar” Freakin yikes.

will take IWBHFC, thank you much!

It's not even the best song on TOYPAJ. Also, serious blink is not necessarily superior unless you're an angsty teen.

Relevancy has nothing to do with what i was saying. I was talking about length of the time the song has been out for not whether it is relevant or not. I’d want an album of new songs to be excited about hearing and not have a spot in the track listing be taken up by a 6-9 month old song.

Peak green day was bigger then blink sure but that doesn’t mean they still are. Green day released a new album earlier this year and it was such a non event I barely saw any articles promoting or talking about it on the music news sites I follow. And opinions are like assholes Davey. We’ve all got them. Nothing green day has released since 21CB has come close to Nine IMO.

Green Day fell off as hard if not harder than blink. Green Day most likely wanted to be top dogs on this new tour so they picked bands that allowed them to be that. With blink it would’ve been co-headline again.

Yeah, I got into the band in 2005-2006 and I believe this and Big Day Out were my first encounter with the stage banter and I thought they were hilarious and cool. I was 14 in 2006 and 14 years later I no longer think they were the greatest comedians or coolest people but it's fun to watch this with nostalgia glasses. Around the same time in 2006 I also found this video and it made me question if it was the same guy in both clips:

it got RT’d by blink, niiiiice

This is so funny lol. Blink online never ceases to amaze. I'm too lazy to even hit 'sign in with google account' to post on a reddit topic I'm passionate about. The fact he came all the way to a blink board is insane boredom/dedication.

Reminder: its almost time to start listening to not another Christmas song again soon in case you forgot it existed

I am looking forward to it! Good or bad. I mean .... it’s Tom so I’ll take it while that crazy fucker is still around.

I get the Adam's Song comparison in the sense that the verses are more mellow than a typical blink song, but other than that it's very different than Adam's Song to me. The chorus is way more explosive and powerful and contrasts way more with the verses than the choruses in Adam's Song do. STFK feels more angsty or angry, which is why it feels like a precursor to Box Car Racer to me. Adam's Song doesn't feel like that.

STFTK is my designated "piss/beer" break during the their live show.

A forced attempt to replicate Adam's Song's success.

First thought best thought writing approach with outside writers. Mark makes better art when he agonise himself over it and puts himself into it fully. Feldmann is just a tween song factory and the more outside influence you have, the less identity the song has. as a result all of their songs are fairly 2 dimensional and cringy because of it.

yea dirnt is the real deal. i used to run into him at his restaurant in oakland. i mean, he recorded an entire SW album simply because ben picked up the phone and asked him. dude is aces.

Green Day are the better live band, and have the bigger legacy. But they lost their grip on the reign since American Idiot, even though neither band are making monumental work anymore. Since Blink’s ‘09 return, their work has outsold all of Green Day’s counterparts. All released around the same time, less than a year apart tops. Which is kinda pathetic for Green Day, as it has shown how far they’ve fallen considering two of those blink albums were sans a key Blink member. Neighborhoods sold more than any trilogy album individually, California outsold Revolution Radio, and Nine sold more than F

Blink-182 is legendary. They had Rock n Roll Hall of Fame band Green Day warming up the crowd for them.

Can’t stand BIllie Joe. Cunt is so in love with himself. Walked out halfway through the last Green Day show I was at. Couldn’t be fucked standing there just stroking Billie Joe’s ego the whole night. We just wanted to hear them play some songs but the Cunt stops every song and a half to get everyone to chant along with him and shit. Got boring so quick. Should add it was the end set of a festival so everyone was pretty loose but still. Boring.

Blink and public perception live rent free in Billie Joe’s head.

Weirdly 2002 was when Green Day had an actual flop (Warning was considered a flop in that it didn't even go platinum, it probably has now?) and had a lot to gain with the tour versus blink who may have been at their peak. I think Green Day literally only agreed to Pop Disaster with Blink to convert younger fans that maybe somehow hadn't heard of them and to show Blink fans how much better a live band they were. It seems more logical when you consider Green Day never being friendly to blink afterward as they've never said anything nice about them (from what I can recall). It seemed like a great

I think blink could have gotten to stadium level if they rewound back to 2009 and did everything entirely differently lol

I had completely forgotten about this performance: It's like Big Day Out but on speed, out of a 80 minute set I'd say about half of it is music and the other half consists of them being idiots. Pretty entertaining!

Thanks everyone! I was worried I’d ruin it after painting but I think it brought it to life

I honestly did lol

What music do you like? Are you a juggalo?

I still love Mark so damn much.

pretty stupid that a lot of those bands, including blink, don't use him to mix anymore. i'm sure it's a money based decision but still.

I think the bridges and outros were 100% a Tom thing. I mean he started AVA which is all about super long intros and outros. He continued doing extended live outros at shows with AVA. I forgot about this one but I actually saw it live in person back in 2006. Normal song ends at about 3:25 and the rest of the video is an outro.

Well he set the bar about as low as you can with LOVE, so there's that...

That makes no sense ... for a band that consistently does NOT reach into their back catalog, why would a one off, wink at current events be the go to for album flow filler? Why would any band do that, let alone a band like blink that could and would just as easily write a song to fit what was needed?! You're talking nonsense and wanting us to to agree that it's plausible. Well, its very well plausible you could fit a beer bottle up your ass but you're not going to do it, are you ... because why the fuck would you do so?

my favourite version ever of the song is the way they performed it live in 2004

I respect that fine. I’m just amazed at your ability to invent an argument out of nothing. First you argued it wasn’t old because it’s still relevant, then you changed to even if it is old it can be best to still release it on an album as it may become successful and now you’re arguing the song may keep the flow of the album so it’s best to keep it on even though I never said it wasn’t. All I ever said was I’d prefer an album full of new songs not songs we first heard 6-9 months ago.

I hope this image isn't stupidly large but i just got these 12" singles in the mail today. they used to be pretty rare but the prices have dropped. the only thing that sucks is the label didn't bother to combine the "pt 1 & 2" track listing of the CDs onto the vinyl releases so there are barely any songs on them.

How many head injuries have you sustained?

Looks great, now sell it to Oliver for $500.

I’d buy that. So good mate!

Hating Idris is the weirdest troll hill to die on.

Shouldn't it be "Skibot"

Welcome to the club. I’m getting some sweet hats made.

hey blink-182 fans! If you love Matt Skiba then please hop on over to the BotBM threads within the next few hours and vote for ME! My round's about to end! or if you love tom, but especially if you love Matt! Don't make me cry on my birthday by not voting! Do the honorable thing!

It took me a few months to binge all the show but I just watched the last episode of Buffy and I'm a mess. I loved this series. Such a brilliant, poignant show and so well written. All the feels to the max 😭❤️ and Spike has the best character arc of anyone ever, any character, any show.
