“Would be disrespect them.” Drinking early today?

Don’t ever disrespect Coight or the Ninja Turtles again, my guy.

Funny, I said the same thing to myself when I almost watched one of your YouTube videos.

Go to bed.

Yea I think the success of Dammit is usually overstated. I didn’t hear of blink until WMAA and I watched MTV religiously at that time. I’m sure it popped off in California and other regions but blink was still very much underground in Michigan until Enema popped off.

Lmfao this is wild and everyone here should watch it. Never thought I’d hear DJ Vlad talking about Tom DeLonge 🤣

Just got general admission tickets to see Social D in Grand Rapids on July 5. They were only $52.50 a piece and that’s after all fees! Crazy. No backing tracks, no overpriced tickets. Thank you for saving rock n’ roll Mike Ness!!!

So you skipped over Nirvana…straight from the Germs to the Foo? lol

Stop using backing tracks Jan. I’ll fill in and play backup guitar for free. I’ll do backup vocals too but you gotta butter me up for that.

Cobain did it alone for years. But he was a real one so he knew bringing in another guitarist was keeping it real and he would have NEVER considered backing tracks. If Kurt Cobain can put aside his ego and have another guitarist than surely Tom could…but he doesn’t care about keeping it real lol he’s more concerned with looking cool and selling T-shirts than playing guitar. You know I’m right lol

See, there you go, you’re an unserious person not arguing in good faith. What a big fat L you just took. And oh yea, ever heard of blink-182 before 2009? They rocked arenas with no backing tracks. You’re just a bad faith clown

Yea I did you dumb ass. Van Halen, Motley Crue, Poison, all off the top of my dome. One bassist and one guitarist and one drummer. And they actually have less singers than blink. They all rocked arenas for decades with no backing tracks. The fact you want to sit here and pretend bands didn’t always rock arenas for years without backing tracks is absolutely pathetic and a bad faith argument from the start. Your opinions on the bands are irrelevant. They all rocked arenas with one guitar and no backing track which according to you is impossible!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡 So don’t give me that bullshit excuse. You’re a boyband fan and that’s ok. You’re just not a rock and roll fan.

Trash analogy. Funny how you want to keep moving the goalposts. Your main argument is that it’s needed for arenas but when I give a bunch of examples of bands with one bassist and one guitarist rocking arenas without backing tracks you cower like a little child. You can cope all you want but the sentiment is the same. A COMPUTER playing the music a guitarist fakes playing live is no better than AI writing lyrics or creating music for someone on a recording. It’s all fake and all lacks integrity

Backing tracks being normalized has already opened the door for AI to be normalized. The fact you can’t recognize the correlation has me deeply concerned for your cognitive health. Thank you for pointing out that real ones hire a Pat Smear though I appreciate it.

When AI takes over music I don’t wanna hear a fucking peep from you Nice nod to Littleredguitars2 with those emojis tho. Respect.

And I don’t play Xbox, that’s for incels. I have a PlayStation 5 like all alpha males

You’re being an obtuse dumbass. Backing tracks are opening the doors wide open for AI to exist because backing tracks are killing the integrity of live performances. Van Halen, Motley Crue, Posion, all bands with one guitarist who rocked arenas for decades. Those are just off the top of my dome, it’s an endless list. Your opinions on the bands don’t matter, they had one guitarist and they filled out arenas with one guitar and no backing tracks…which if I were to believe you, that would be impossible! 🤡🤡🤡

Except for you displayed no logic whatsoever. You claimed it’s needed to fill out arenas but that argument ignores the facts that bands with one guitarist were rocking arenas for decades without backing tracks. It’s not the got ya that you think it is. In fact, it’s pure copium. Pathetic

@Locean Breeze - Jan in the next few years when you start bitching about how AI has taken over music, take a long look in the mirror and blame yourself for normalizing backing tracks. You have blood on your hands, son. @thongriderand I’s hands are clean.

lol I dont agree with your reasoning here at all but at this point we’re just arguing over semantics. I stand United with you thong

Not really, most of their music sounds computerized. They aren’t pretending to be musicians their focus is singing and dancing. That is not the case with blink. And I’m pretty sure BSB had tons of live musicians on stage with them anyways

Anyways I’m not interested in having this conversation again. Backing tracks have always been and will always be lame as fuck for a rock back to use. The point I was making is that people accepting backing tracks as the norm for rock bands has opened the door for AI to intrude all over rock music. Don’t believe me? Check back in with me in 10, even just 5 years. Call me Diddy the Prophet.

What Tom does is way worse. Backstreet Boys aren’t pretending to play something they’re not. Tom used to rip on Backstreet Boys for not playing instruments so that makes him worse and a hypocrite

@Locean Breeze - Jan You’ve lost the plot entirely when you try to justify a rock band doing something because “ThE BaCkStReEt BoYs Do iT.” Smfh. You are to blame for AI overtaking music. Period.

Hahaha I wish I would have said this before because I was going to. I knew this lame excuse was going. You’re as predictable as a MAGAT screaming woke in an argument. The whole “tHeY’rE fiLLiNg OuT aN aReNA” excuse is the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. You’re just going to act like rock bands weren’t rocking arenas for decades before backing tracks existed? That excuse is not valid in any facet. By Denny’s show, you mean the gimmick where they played two seconds of a song for a video they ended up scrapping? It’s understandable when Backstreet Boys are doing it. They’re not pretending to play the fucking guitar you jackass
