  1. They said the other day that there are no plans to put gamepass on Switch or PlayStation, but they're also about to launch a new console, so I'm hoping that's just what they're saying right now but then after the initial launch window they do reveal it coming to other systems. Specifically, I'd love Gamepass on the Switch, being able to stream all those great Xbox games on the go really would be amazing.

  2. i managed to come across an interview in which his participation on recipe is explained: "Eddie used to live in San Diego, and he always came to our shows," Bentley explains, "Then all of a sudden he's in a huge band. Right when 'Ten' came out, we went to Europe and played some shows with 'Pearl Jam' in Germany. We hung out and were all getting goofy. You know how when you sit down with someone, and your jokes are all the same, you have the same sense of humor, you do things that are similar? You just kind of connect. "At the second show we played with them, he and I decided to go onstage, and see who could punk out the most. But I told him, "You can't climb up anything because I can't when I'm playing bass, so you have to do it at ground level.' He goes out there and does his thing, and I think, 'Whooo, it's going to be hard to top that one.' Then I go out, and during the first song I'm swinging my bass around and my strap breaks. My guitar had such momentum that it went flying to the other side of the stage, landed on the ground and went 'Whhhhooooo.' I just stared at it for a moment, stared at the audience, then looked at Ed. he just shouted, 'You Win!'" https://www.thebrpage.net/media/item.asp?itemID=112

  3. I think the only way we will ever know what this version of blink 182 would truly sound like without all the extra writers and whatnot is if we can somehow get blink 182 to collaborate with alkaline trio. I’m not joking.

  4. I was rooting for Peggy Sue the entire time. It's kinda crazy that it was their most played song from 1995 to 1999 and it left the top 20 in September 2011. Edit: Mark on twitter 😢

  6. I've already decided I'm going PS5 this generation. I enjoy the Halo games but not enough to stick to the console and I was let down quite a bit by Xbox One. All the great games were available on PS4 as well, plus the exclusives for PS4 were great and I definitely felt like I was missing out.

  7. I feel like a lot of these are just so quick and so random that they don’t even want to waste Matt’s time, given that he has already gone above and beyond everything asked of him. Send the peeps a quick verse, and of course it’s a no brainer to say it’s “ft. blink-182” for both sides. Harmless win/win.

  8. when i listen to blink nowadays compared to their older stuff it just sounds like a completely different band to me. not that that's a bad thing at all i love skibba and i love tom they just sound so different especially with NINE. Some days i'll be hyped to listen to skibbas "OH OHHHS" all throughout california and others i love to hear toms scratchy "I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING" voice on dude ranch ya know? both blinks are great in different ways and i'm glad to see them so happy and active again.

  10. Agree with Scott. This song is absolute trash and yet has another Adam's Song riff added to it. I only first heard of this Oliver Tree dude yesterday and I just knew from his image that I wouldn't like the song. The XXXTentacion one is the best one by far and the only decent one iMO. I did like the Chainsmokers one at first but the singer's voice just grated on me and it was made worse by the robotic effects. That Goody Grace song is just boring asf. Travis' collabs with MGK, Halsey and that are far better. Although they technically aren't blink songs, I hope these tracks aren't what the Nine EP with the collabs on are gonna sound like. I prefer the collabs that have their own solo names added to it. That Amy Shark featuring Mark Hoppus track is so much better. The Say Anything track that features Tom on it is so much better. The tracks that Travis works on with rappers are so much better (the ones with that guy called nothing, nowhere are actually really good). The ones with the blink-182 name as brand recognition are trash. This won't ever happen but I just wanna hear a bad ass blink song with Skiba taking charge and someone like Robert Smith, Kanye West or Tim Armstrong appearing on them and actually complimenting the song unlike what Yelawolf did for PLG. Hell I'd take MGK or the ATL/Simple Creatures guy on a blink track rather than these lame ass try hard singers that dress like they belong in a Disney movie.

  11. for those who like this era: isn’t it weird to see “blink” marketed as solely mark and travis, with no matt to speak of? matt, mark and trav feels like a very fractured pairing IMO

  13. I thought u remembered reading somewhere that Tom recorded CC on a Marshall that was in the studio. I’m assuming either a JCM 800 or possibly 900. There’s definitely a lot of gain on that record and sounds a bit hotter and hairier, like an ampeg but it’s hard to tell. I will try to find the source. while it makes sense that he would use the money to buy gear (as he clearly did), from my own experience, playing in bands and recording in different studios, sometimes you use your own gear, sometimes you use stuff in the studio and often times a mix of both. I’m going to try to dig this up but it would not surprise me if tom was tracking in a position between the neck and middle pickups into a jcm and Marshall 4x12. anyways, I’m a huge nerd for this stuff. Great find and discussion. I’m making a white strat replica currently, even if I can’t get the stickers or anything like that, I’m going to try to nail the tone and see if I can contribute to helping figure out what was going on back in the day!

  14. I forgot how steller pre-American Idiot Green Day was, I've been working my way through their catalog this week and enjoyed every minute of it.

  15. According to this reddit post it seems like he kind of does 😂 someone in the comments mentions asking him about the guitar at a meet & greet. His response was that he "tried to do something cool with it" and pulled off all the stickers, but he "fucked it up".

  16. court jones, brother of cam jones. while we are on the topic, here are some preliminary sketches he made: here's a scan of his **original** final pen and ink drawing used to create the graphic: and he also drew the trio as three bunnies for a 95/96 shirt design: his brother cam as roadie was on the back:

  17. mark had a single ernie ball music man (black with white pickguard) through cheshire cat and into the DR era. i took this on stage at SOMA on nov 1, 1996: the first time i saw him play with a fender bass was warped tour 97. i believe this was before he was sponsored by them. he played that fender ( a single light blue P) throughout the summer with his black MM as backup: by the spring of 98 he had gained a sponsorship with ernie ball and had several MMs in various colors. from my own pictures i count at least four: two pale blue, one pink, and one green: mark still used an ampeg cab and head up to and through the recording of DR. here is the oct 8 96 show at the whiskey opening for the descendents which i was at. photo by kerry key: he took the ampeg gear out on the road on warped 97. here is a pic i took at the san diego date and the ampeg tall cab is clearly visible:

  18. Mark confirmed on twitch they’re hoping for an EP by the end of summer. I’ll be interested to see how much of Matt is on it.
