Yeah whether I love or hate the new record/band, I think Mark needs a side project where he can write actual music with zero expectations. I get so sick of him saying, "This is what blink is. We're going back to what blink is about. Blink always had a fun, summer vibe." Etc, etc, etc.

Slight shade at blink being a job.

Wait--how exactly am I hypocritical? My old roommate used to play a live concert DVD in college I inevitably overheard. Dave Matthews seemed like a jerkoff and the music was about as bland and vanilla as you can get. Just like the Chili Peppers, you hear a song and then it blends in similarly to the next song. Music, being subjective, means that all the DMB fans who go to shows and buy their music would obviously disagree with me. As you do. Just like how a ton of people on this very message board went to bat against you for condemning Sum 41. Which is your right. And our right to counter. But you couldn't pay me to listen to DMB, even for the sake of our argument/disagreent here. Not sure if that means you "win" but then everyone's right, by your logic, Shania Twain is objectively better than DMB.

Dude I only know like a handful of songs by DMB and they all sound the same (terrible). I'm not going to go outta my way to listen to any song by them. Dave's voice is terrible. They're the American version of Nickelback. That's a better comparison actually. Sum 41 is in the pop-punk arena.

Wait, wait, wait, wait. You're shitting on Sum 41 (hey, more power to ya) but going to bat for Dave Matthews Band? Ok, that's all I need to know.

Who would be Matt's replacement?

Haha. Any Tom news I miss this week or just the guitar pic Travis posted?

Nah, Fat Lip was in the middle of their setlist if I recall. Only played it once too.

Eh I liked Chuck and the new album. Obviously I prefer blink as this isn't sum41online.com. But "I need a g!rl that I can train" hasn't passed the test of time either. Either way, Sum 41 puts up a much better show these days in smaller venues.

Sum 41's last show I saw was 100 times better than the last blink show I saw. Not even a comparison.

But why are they recording an album with Skiba and Feldy still? I dunno. I think this is all smoke and mirrors.

Say what??

Yeah I either love or like every track on DED. What a cock-tease it ended up being.

What the fuck. Pulling out of a concert for blood clots I sorta get.... even though Brooks filled in for Travis in Australia and no one made that big of a deal over it. Tom pulls out of Musink, gets exiled, trashed in the press by both mates, but yet Mark continues to cancel dates on a yearly basis. What a joke. Keep working on that album, Mark. I'm sure all those song writers are working very hard on it and it's gotta be stressful keeping everything organized with that many cooks in the kitchen. But this doesn't effect me personally, so whatever. Just embarrassing. I'm just wondering if they'll be on the Riotfest bill this year like they said they would after canceling last year. We'll see.

Eh for me it just confirmed how fake and forced the reunion shows ultimately were.
