Glad blink took the time to dedicate MO to Matt

TOM’S TONE ISN’T FUCKING ASS THANK GOD

LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOOOO

True true it’s just funny when Tom does it

Tom w/ the To The Stars merch fucking classic lmao

Debatable

slav tom plz

To be fair he’s come a long way since the goth pizza chef hat or whatever he calls it lol. I ended up buying some similar beanies he wears now. I’m also gonna bet on the orange one. Bonus points if he busts out the tracksuit.

Snippet of blink rehearsing Down

Apparently.

The inlays look a little goofy on the semi-hollows, and I don’t like how it’s unfinished past the 12th fret. This new model looks neat, as opposed to the plain pastel colors. They’re pretty but I think they need something like the racing strap, as unoriginal as that may seem. I love sticker guitars but I don’t really care for the one he customized, just looks like a knock off of the BCR guitar. I felt like he decorated one of his new guitars in stickers to fill the role if he doesn’t bring the BCR guitar on the upcoming tour. I wish he went with something like the Coronado. The Starcaster is alright, and I kinda like how it looks like a hybrid of the Strat and ES-333, but the offset semi-hollow design looks awkward to me. I’m warming up to it, but we’ll have to see it in action first.

He had pretty much a buzzcut in late November, and he’s pretty shaggy on the sides and in the back now. I don’t know about the top, but he’s looking pretty good. I got a full head of hair but mine doesn’t grow that fast lmao. I can’t wait to see him without the hats but based on that video it’s probably my favorite look on him. He should grow a beard while he’s at it.

Hair transplants must grow back quick.

2024 it is

Cali’s back on the menu, boys!

Easily no doubt.

I don’t care for the distorted tones but I love the clean tones on the record. Best examples I could think of are No, It Isn’t and Interlude. Even the slightly dirtier tones like in Baby Come On and Weatherman (after the first chorus) are sweet as well. It’s not really that special when looking back at it but the album is nostalgic and reminds me of a summer night near the water.

Champ182 once again the voice of reason.

It was a Black Friday exclusive. I snagged one before they sold out and I’m still waiting for it to show up. Probably the only blink shirt I’ll wear nowadays lol but I did like Bad Religion parody shirt they made a couple years ago. Too bad it doesn’t fit me anymore.

It looks kinda tacky, especially with the hollow-body design. Works better with the strat, but it would at least look better if the inlays went past the 12th fret. Just bothers me that it looks unfinished, but I don’t really like them in the first place.

It’s interesting, but they look a little plain and unfinished. Even the one Tom sticker’d up still seemed naked to me, might just be the paintjobs. Tom probably wants (or has) to differentiate it from his Gibson but I’d love to see a racing stripe on one of them.

Still hard to believe that Tom is actually back in the band.

It was an unique feature from the band to do on a couple songs every now and then, but it was overused during the Skiba era, which wasn’t as effective when Matt obviously had more vocal qualities similar to Mark than Tom. I guess the band was hesitant on letting Matt have his own song, which I get on California, but everything after should’ve included at least one solo song with Matt. Mark had Good Old Days, Happy Days, and the joke songs (which is acceptable, don’t want Matt on a joke song unless it utilized his humor - which wouldn’t have happened likely). Not gonna make a list of songs Matt should’ve sang entirely on because it’s fairly obvious.
