I hope there's a full rip elsewhere. I just need to add this to the Coachella shows. FFS, they HAVE to release a live official DVD/whatever they release this days.

DANCE WITH ME discussion - Olés meltdown subsided
Ghost replied to Midwest Wankers's topic in Blink 182
Very good point. But I always thought blink are really good making choices about songs to open an album. They have this sort of sense about creating momentum that makes your head explode: - Cheshire Cat opening with Carousel is amazing. That song feels more like a closer, sure, specially having been used as that, but come on... opening an album with THAT tune? Fabulous. Just followed with M&Ms makes it better. Kind of the duo Anthem 3/Dance With Me, but in a classic way. - Dude ranch opening with Pathetic it's like, come on, give me a break. Puts you there. Right on. - Enema opening with Dumpweed. CLASSIC. Amazing riff to start a song and a record. One of the best. - TOYPAJ opening with Anthem 2 is epic. Even better than Dumpweed, IMO. - Untitled opening with Feeling This is just perfect. Setting the mood, the bar and the moral really high. - One More Time opening with Anthem 3 was brutal. Top blink. Then, well... I have my own taste about the 'in between' records. Neighborhoods was a weird beast itself. I love the album for what it meant and was at the toaime, but it was weirdly built as fuck. Ghost on the Dance Floor is a song that fells flat like an opener. Don't know why, it's sort of mid range, not going anywere specifically. But I wouldn't trade it for another one on that record. I guess it was a hard choice. Same happens with DED ep, but it was better executed, IMO. Then we have the Skiba records. Both openers -Cynical for California and First Time for NINE- are great, but to my ears are not even close to the epicness of songs like Dumpweed, both Anthems 2 and 3 or Feeling This. Between those two, I'd probably put Cynical above First Time. -

I remember the first time I heard this, and thinking it was pretty meh. I was SO SO SO wrong. But, to be fair, I'm still in love with this record. There are not skips for me, only Fuck Face from time to time. -
This. I just saw the guy is offering a download for $5. WTF?
-
I just saw on the comments section that the guy used some AI to create the stems (you know, so to speak), and then did the remastering song by song. Said by himself. Well done, then.
-
Woah. This make me even more sure about my opinion: some blink records would benefit tons if they were remixed and remastered from an audiophile point of view. They deserve it. This, not being audiophile treated and considering the limitations, proves it all. I'd love to see the spectrals, though. Still sounds weird. But as I said, thsat's due to the limitations. I don't think this guy had access to original tracks or even stems. It's a solid effort, though. Really good.

Where in the actual fuck did came this from? Who the hell did this and using which fucking sources? This sounds pretty interesting. But here's my two cents: may he overdubbed some guitars? I don't know, sounds so clean that he might had access to some funky source?

Terrified Track Discussion
Ghost replied to Bucko's topic in One More Time Track-by-Track Discussion Forum
I agree. The backstory, as you said, is cool and I believe it. I really think they though about it as an BCR song. But I highly doubt it would have been released under BCR name. I don't think Travis would liked that, considering there was, in fact, bad blood between Mark and Tom (as they confirmed in Lowe's interview). So Travis being part of a BCR resurrection would have been a potential huge earthquake for blink at that time. Can you imagine Mark being upset with Tom and then Travis collaborating with Tom? No way. That would have been a punch in the face for Mark. To sum it up: they thought about it as a BCR song? Yeah, probably for fun, and as long as Tom worked with Travis on it and not with AvA. Would they ever release it as an BCR song? Nope. No way. I can't picture that. That said, I love it. I love Terrified. But yeah, is a blink song, and sounds as BCR as some AvA songs and even some Neighborhoods riffs sound too. In the end, is Tom's song, it is his thing, you know. So makes sense. Also, and in fact, lots of first AvA album could have been blink songs. Like without any question: Start The Machine, The War, The Adventure, It Hurts... I remember Mark even saying somewhere that in that record Tom used some ideas that were going to be used for blink (I assume, Tom presented those ideas to Travis and Mark back in the day before they split for the first time). BCR was an unique record. I don't think Tom would be able to recapture those feelings and mood again. Ever. It was a perfect photography of his situation, feelings and thoughts at that very concrete moment. That's what makes it so special and good. -
I'm so happy for this band. But still feels weird to not have any press from them.
-
I'm watching some aussie videos and... Jesus Fucking Christ. They're doing amazing again. So prooud to be a blink fan. I'm impressed about how good the new songs are sounding live. Are they at their top game since the early years? I mean, it's really obvious the're putting tons of effort to sound this good again. It's really great.

Dan keeps on improving. Both singing and playing his bass. What a beast he is.
-
Holy shit. Loving this live. It's so bizarre to revisit Skiba playing with blink now.
-
When in the fuck is this being released?
-
Come on, they are just 'joke' songs. I don't think they've been written with any purpose, other than being an abomination per se.

Blast from the past. What a band and what a song.
