At least all these shitty videos are contained in one place I can easily avoid!

One of my friends who is a pretty successful recording engineer/producer swears by re-amping, there's no doubt it can "dial in" the tones more accurately and it takes away a lot of variables, but it does just feel less like a real recording experience to me haha. I'm a curmudgeon though. That being said, as for all the talk of presets and everything, there is a 0% chance they would just use a preset and then say "that's that!" You can still tweak tones, EQ, add effects, put it through the entire mixing/mastering process, whatever. It's just the initial sound. A random dude trying out a Mesa Boogie amp isn't going to sound exactly like Enema era Tom either. I would prefer to hear that they were using some kind of dope vintage amps and cabs and going for these awesome tones and blah blah blah, but when it comes down to it we probably wouldn't be able to tell much of a difference anyway. With the current state of this type of technology, if they want a certain tone, they'll be able to find it. Based on what Mark's bass tech has posted on Reddit, they are modeling the bass settings directly after Jerry Finn's actual amps, literally, and it comes up with an almost exact replication of the tones they have used in the past. If they're going that far for the live show, I'm sure they're doing something similar in the studio.

Have done so. Mark said you’re a cunt. Tom said you’re a cunt. Travis sent me a selfie of him licking Kourtney’s toes.

Are we HIV positive though?

Upper case B and no hyphen. Mark is probably embarrassed

So, these “good chats” you say you’re bringing…

release the damn song and announce the album u bitches

Here we go. I'm doing this by suggestion of Mr @High Value Coight. As long as I've been posting a few full recordings of some of the shows on this amazing reunion World Tour, I'll try to compile the ones I find in this thread. Please, moderators, feel free to edit this message anytoaime it's needed if it needs corrections or adding new shows or whatever. Anyways, to all members, feel free to suggest. I don't know if this is the best option to compile them or what.

Just listened to Cheshire Cat for 3 1/2 hours straight this morning, they better release a new song on Friday

Tuesday is my birthday and Friday I’ll have 3 years sober, if blink releases a new song, you can all just thank me.

Cashed in on $99 tickets for Adjacent Fest in AC… get to see full blink 90 min set as well as the movielife and others. Sunday is going to kick ass. Feel like I came out in top with that price for this tour.

I was in the pit for all 3 New York shows, heres my ranking UBS for the sound quality and felt like the truest form of fans but also the most rowdy in a good way. Brooklyn is a close second, they sounded incredibly tight, and the crowd was calmer than UBS but also everyone was more relaxed looked like they were probably just tired from working all day, crowd was just vibing MSG - worse crowd, worse PA system too. My guess is the majority of this crowd were the most basic casual listeners or really really rich ppl who bought tickets last minute and most of them were just douchey jock bros thats my review, im basing it off of the crowd cause thats what makes the concert mostly.

Washington show at Capital One Arena. I'm loving this recordings of whole shows. Jesus, people LOVE THEM, all the cheering and screams. It's insane.

I think people underestimate how hard it is for a professional athlete over 30yo to continue playing at the highest level - injuries hurt more, recovery takes longer and you're competing with a younger generation who studied your game. For me, MJ is the greatest ever, but what Lebron has done and is still doing demands respect. The skill and effort he put into the Lakers playoff run was very impressive. I personally don't need to shit on people just because they don't make a top 5 list or had some low points in a pretty illustrious career.

Don’t think it’s releasing then for that reason. I think it was Tom when talking to that guy where he said fall and a song a month that it was coming out that late cause of the vinyl delay. Considering their original due date was Jan 1st they probably expected the vinyl delay to take till June/July which is likely when they intended to release it but then they didn’t finish in time.

I'm not well-read in this world at all, but I THINK that's sort of how the new digital rigs that Tom and Mark use work... They're able to "read" specific real amp tones that Jerry Finn used on the old albums and an algorithm tests and retests and retests 1000x until it puts out a very convincing recreation of that specific tone. Mark's bass tech explained it on reddit recently, I'll try to find it. EDIT: Here is his post: "Hi everyone. I am Mark's bass tech, Brian Diaz. Just to clarify what this is... I was given some profile files of a bass amp (Ampeg SVT) that was once owned by Jerry Finn made by a producer in the Bay Area who now owns it. What this means is that in a studio setting the amp and speakers were mic'd up and "captured" for a digital modeling amp - in this case a Kemper and Neural Quad Cortex. Live Mark is going to be using a Neural QC for his bass sounds (formerly he was using a Kemper for many years. In my personal opinion I think the QC completely obliterates Kemper in terms of sound and in ease of use) as he's discussed in his Discord and Twitch. It is a very realistic sounding replication of a tube amplifier using the capture made of the original amp. It involves some wildly complex algorithms, but ultimately it's meant to be a very convincing duplication of the characteristics of the original but in a very portable and stable digital format. We've spent time in studio and rehearsal tweaking these sounds to emulate classic album tones and current sounds used on the newest albums. TL;DR explanation: it sounds fucking sick! Hope that clears up any confusion as to what it means when the "Jerry Finn SVT" is mentioned! The technology isn't necessarily new but it's gotten way better over the last decade." Also, if you search his posts he gives out a bunch of really cool info about this kind of stuff: https://www.reddit.com/user/bkd1976

It's all part of the game. Elton John is on what, his 3rd farewell tour now? Most artists are regular human beings with families and real lives who really don't make a great deal of money, especially bands like Yellowcard who for most of their existence had 5 members. In 2017 Sean had just had a baby, they went out on their own terms with their self-titled record / final tour and I really think they thought that was it. Can't blame them for wanting to capitalize on the 20th anniversary of Ocean Avenue, just enjoy it while it lasts!

I hate this shit

Blink knows they messed up and it might be over, but they will call you because you’re sober

I’ve taken heed of your response and given it some thought. I’d be disappointed if that was the name of a song too. I just don’t care much for it. Would you mind letting the boys know? I’m sure they’d be interested in my opinion.

Yeah Liam > Noel obviously but Noel has his moments. Genuinely funny guy

I'm lowkey annoyed that the 3x i saw them Mark not once did Taylor but did do No Scrubs all 3 times.

Mark tried once again We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together last night and it sounded very solid.

I find this entire subject very interesting, and I'm sure that in time we're only going to see more and more of these with more and more convincing results (some of these are already pretty convincing). This probably has been discussed in recent months in the general any topic, but again, given that I think that we'll see only more and more of this in time, it might be nice to have a thread dedicated to it and we can all just post whatever of these AI mixes that we enjoy from the likes of youtube. Really really enjoy this version of There Is if blink had performed it, pretty cool to hear (seemingly) Mark and Tom trade off vocals in such a song: To compliment a Tom project featuring AI Mark, here is an alright one for a Mark project featuring AI Tom, No It Isn't: Tom sings Adam's Song (this one is really solid): Mark sings First Date Tom sings The Rock Show Mark and Tom swap vocals in Elevator (this one is very strong): Baby Come On featuring Tom (kinda falls apart toward the end, but otherwise I really like this one too): Edging in the oldschool Tom style (clip, not full song) (and actually after looking at this one again, I'm not so sure it was AI (though it did come up when I searched for blink 182 AI), still it's interesting all the same, so I'll keep it here): There are plenty of others on Youtube, but be warned, a lot of them are way too obviously AI to be very enjoyable (much more so than the ones I've presented here). But yeah, if you find any that you enjoy, feel free to post them, you'll note that most of these are from very recently, like within the last month or so, if that. I think it's fair to say that we're in store for plenty more of this kind of stuff.

Wonder if she calls it self titled or untitled

So I thought I was to the Water Temple. Then played two hours last night and still not sure how close I am to it lol. This game is huge.

I asked the Zoomer swiftie girl I work with her opinion on this and I got a stern, 8 minute lecture on how problematic this bloke is. Apparently the youth aren’t as chill about him as you are lol

Don’t get Laura started.

Tears of the Kingdom just earned game of the decade by bringing @2point5 back from the dead! What the fuck!?

@High Value Coight Hey, mate, does this look good to you?

Kim K neglecting her fans because she's busy rocking to blink? 😅

These are awesome. Someone should make a thread with all of them in order or something.

For the creeps. I know you're watching.

To me they all sound like someone doing impressions of blink

Yep. You can get the perfect take or what ever using a DI and a software. Then run the guitar recording on a whole song back to an amp and find a good tone, good mics and placement and get a good sound. You can do a lot of cool stuff, crank the spring reverb up and reamp a snare or a vocal for an example.

from Saturday, it took me like a minute to process they were playing Don’t Leave Me lol since I wasn’t expecting it.

Yeah, I've retired from caring about that stuff. I used to be a Lebron hater. Just grateful to watch him still playing now. It's been so long that who fucking knows who is better and how the eras would compare. Pointless discussion. Lebron and Jordans games aren't anything alike. No one would compare MJ with Kareem. I think it's just that Lebron came on as the Second Cumming of MJ while MJ was still fresh on peoples minds. People weren't ready for it so they dug in on defense. But 20 years have passed. Let it go!

I've always hated the circle jerk of who is top 5 and who is overrated. It's why I can't listen to ESPN or any other talking head. I especially hate when people say a certain player would suck if he played in the 80's or 90's. The game is continually changing and its such a shitty talking point. Lets just enjoy basketball for what it is and appreciate greatness while we can.

Inspiring performance by Lebron. He tried so hard to get his teammates involved in the third qtr but AD and Schroder couldn't even buy a basket. AD showed up the last couple minutes of game but too little too late. You cant expect to win when a 38 year old is carrying your team. Props to Jokic and Denver. They are fun to watch.

Came on shuffle, forgot how much I love this band - such good energy, any other melodic hardcore fans on here?

Joker vs Bulter is going to be special

Same, and I follow the NBA rather religiously. I love-hate Melo. In some ways, he's totally toxic to a team and annoyingly stubborn as fuck about his iso game, ruined the knicks imo that were grooving before him imo. On the other hand, he's kind of the essence of NBA basketball, and one of the most lethal scorers of all time that you can only respect.

Old blink appreciation post. Tom was a machine back in the day.

Thought he retired like 7 years ago lmao

this is silly
