I'm sorry this happened to South America, but I fucking love this thread. If the Reddit crowd read these posts, they would implode and Mark's discord would scream, cry and throw up.12 points

I'm just glad that Tom rejoined the band and their first big fuck up doesn't appear to have been on him. First crisis averted11 points

I feel so old on reddit when some lil new blink kid posts like Dancing With Myself or Dead Mans Curve and are like “omfg I just found this!” And the comments are a bunch of other lil new blink fans being like “omg good find never heard this” and us dinosaurs are here able to discuss the finer fucking details of their diets from 20 years ago.11 points

People forget that beneath all the goth, The Cure are PUNK AF. Awesome to see a true man of the people who cares about his fans going after the fuckers at Ticketmaster. Too bad it didn't work, but at least he tried - unlike blink.9 points

No dynamic priced tickets and now a little refund + lower fees on the general sale tomorrow. This is proof you can take concrete actions against Ticketmaster and win a concession in a few hours (literally) when you really care about your fans. In this house Robert Smith is a hero—end of story.8 points

It's wild to see that Tom has taken upon himself the role of spokesperson of the band and sounds more sincere than Mark 😂8 points

Tbf, Mark could’ve just been pissing about on the bass inbetween listening back to tracks during the sequencing process. Like, him holding a bass in the studio doesn’t mean he’s only now tracking bass parts. Thats me being wishful thinkingy, probably, but musicians noodle while chatting all the time lol7 points

Yeah, I went to reddit and Aaron's instagram to check... Unless Aaron changed his post on instagram it says "Tuesday in the studio" nothing about being done mixing the blink album or how many songs there are. Meanwhile, the image being posted about on reddit is a screengrab from 'angelsandairwavesnews' saying it's being mixed and confusing DAW tracks with like a playlist or something. Which also means we don't know how many songs will be on this album either (so be safe I'll assume at least 10)) I'd love for the album to be finished because there's a chance we might get it sooner if it is... However, don't wanna get my hype up on false hopes. Learned that many times (even had it reinforced a few times).7 points

As the only active poster in this thread that has actually seen blink play without Travis since he joined the band I feel my opinion means more than everyone else’s so here we go. Cancelling the shows was the worst possible option. No doubt. When Travis bailed(understandably) on Aus I was rattled but with 3 non-refundable festival tickets, flights, hotels etc I was still super happy the band was still coming. I would have been way more upset if they cancelled rather than had a replacement fill in. Once the show kicks off and Mark and Tom start having a blast you end up forgetting that there is a replacement drummer up there. The songs still sound like they should and as long as you’re not some negative cunt looking for a reason to be pissed you’ll be having a great time. The SA fans deserved this. I get that they wanted this to be the big reunion etc with the original band but they still could have bought both Travis and the replacement. Have Travis rock out onstage chilling on a throne Dave Grohl style for 80% of the set and then add in a 5ish song acoustic set that he can actually play on. I know his finger is fucked but I doubt it’s so fucked he couldn’t play a light acoustic set where he isn’t banging as hard as he can. I would’ve fucking loved it if they did this when I saw them. Hell they did the acoustic set with Brooks and even though I had no clue who the fuck he was it was still fun. Ultimately they chose the lazy option which is pretty shitty. The promise to go back next year is nice doesn’t make up for it. Those fans deserved better. They definitely didn’t deserve Travis throwing it in their faces by going out to the ufc less than a week later. Read the room bro. Anyway. I don’t think anything deep is up with the band/Travis flying/the album. It was a shit, unlucky injury that meant the tour couldn’t happen as planned, it just sucks they were lazy and couldn’t opt for plan b or c and just cancelled.7 points

If you don’t think the SA fans would absolutely lose their shit and have a great time if Travis was there doing this while some other cunt played the drums then you’re a dumb cunt.7 points

I woke up a few minutes ago and thought that there were some big news... 4 pages of +44 reviews, cymbals complains, and general nonsense... still better than those pussies on Reddit making songs rankings every single fucking day. Love you guys Never liked the production in WYHSB, everything sounds too compressed. Mark must loved that sound so much, since he kept the same guitar tones on Neighborhoods and DED.7 points

Same, I don’t really care what style they go with or even the general mood as long as it’s good and sounds like blink. I don’t want bad AVA songs that Mark and Travis have tried to salvage. Hopefully they’re past that if they are actually working together and getting along now. Will be interesting. I still have a feeling it’s going to be really good. I like that they aren’t talking much about it still. I have no idea what to expect and that makes it more exciting and less likely to disappoint.7 points

We'll see how hard Travis and his crew actually is. SA fans deserve it6 points

He can't play so there is nothing we can do about it, but he's also the same person who got into a fight on twitter with that Australian promoter 10 years ago because he wanted to get paid in full for those Australian shows he couldn't attend. He would have never settled for playing a tambourine and let another drummer replace him. And it sounds like Mark and Tom didn't want that either because Mark said this tour is about the three of them, so they would have never hired Brooks or another drummer. It's either Travis or no shows at all. What's absolutely shitty is that they didn't acknowledge the fact that the fans have to pay twice in order to see them next year.

All he had to do was chill for a week and it would be less insulting. I’m sure he could find something to entertain himself for during that time in his multi million dollar mansion.6 points

The truth is, this could've been a great opportunity to actually highlight their relationship. If they'd brought Travis along to jokingly do a shaker on some songs then yeah it would've been funny and he would have been there... but imagine if they'd given him a mic? Had him talk with Mark and Tom? Have him sing one of the joke songs? (would've been hysterical). He could've been at the front of the stage, showing all 3 together, for their first time in SA. Just a thought. What a waste of an opportunity.6 points

Do people honestly think they're gonna come out with a new sound? There's is zero chance they take any huge leaps with the direction of their music on this album. It's gonna sound like Lifeforms songs that are more straight up punky/rocky mixed in with Marks influence. We're not going to be surprised by anything.5 points

Oh so now Tom is back in the band suddenly everyone is cool with another band writing blinks songs for them? What a joke.5 points

I’m going to take them at their word about how hurt Travis is and how unable to play he is. My issue is that their mindset is that they know what the fans want. I agree with the opinion that the fans down there would prefer Travis on cowbell vs waiting another year. As for “a replacement drummer isn’t what this tour is about” again, get a pulse on the fans. Maybe it wouldn’t be what the band had planned as a comeback, but things don’t always work out as planned. Just play shows for these damn people. Or at least fake like you give a shit for them when you cancel.5 points
