Not entirely sure. Pretty sure AI can do instrumentation these days, but I dunno if that's what's happening or not in any of these.

Yeah, that's just where the AI is currently at for music really. I imagine that within only a year or so that this stuff will only be all the more sophisticated and convincing.

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.

I was hoping the Simple Plan song would be Mark's actual lyrics on that song and it'd be a cool way to bring those over to blink. In fact it's a really jarring song choice to use in general (wasn't the biggest hit, and I had honestly forgotten all about it) unless he was specifically going to use those lines. I digress, this is cool too see happening again, and I love to see that Mark seems intent to change up the song for every show, hopefully without any repeats, that'd be nuts.

Sorry if I see a news headline not marked as a spoiler it doesn't register as any real kind of spoiler to me haha.

I suppose Brooks is probably the most qualifying of the label of the sixth member of blink. (Unless we give Jerry Finn higher billing than at least one of them that actually played with the band, which I would totally get).

The problem is how do you do an ARG that isn't ridiculously impossible to solve and piece together by the masses within a month nor so ridiculously simple that the masses don't immediately figure it out? With something this big, I don't think that's an easy medium to achieve at all. I guess the question ultimately becomes why bother, but I dunno, I like any little ARG for new content even if they are super simple.

Good to see Adam's Song is back in the mix.

It always had the energy of a Dude Ranch song to me, still does. Mark even kinda sings more like he did on Dude Ranch in the song. I get where Mark is coming from with that claim.

I was gonna say the definition sounds more like Hearts All Gone.

Note the Employees sign. Hard at Work album title?

I bet you've been subject to I Think You Should Leave bits out and about in the real world without realizing it. Show is hilarious and has gathered a large cult following. I see and hear references to it all the time these days.

To make this like the perfect month for me with awesome new content I've been waiting for on a weekly basis, blink should release their album on Friday May 19th. That way tomorrow there is Guardians of the Galaxy 3, next Friday is Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, and then blink could be the Friday after that. Then on the 30th, just over a week later, it's season 3 of I Think You Should Leave. Would definitely make for an amazing month for me.

I didn't even bother to try, I was all too happy to start over, even though I had put like 20 hours in that Wii U leak or so. The game was just that good.

I do get the feeling we find out information tomorrow. It's both the day before the tour, and Tom did make a Star Wars reference in terms of being patient for new music. While I don't expect any new music tomorrow, I could see the information dump dropping tomorrow: album name, release date, maybe even the cover and tracklist.

You do you lol, just leave your spoilers away from me!

What I'm saying is the reason those relationships would be considered big deals were because of Travis himself, not the person he was married to. Shanna isn't about to get another reality series about whoever the hell she dates next lol.

My views on the matter have changed a little in prior years. Overall I don't have much of any issue with people pirating games for not current hardware. But brand new games, especially those leaked ahead of release, I no longer feel comfortable pirating. Not saying people here shouldn't do so, I'm not your mom, just that it's no longer something I take part of, though I used to.

Yeah, plus I downloaded the leak of BOTW last time and even though I immediately fell in love with it, I still felt a good amount of guilt, even though I was playing the inferior Wii U version instead of the Switch version that I would buy a week later when it came out. To go 2 weeks ahead of time now with the same version of the game I intend to buy just wouldn't sit well with me. I'm going to be patient and do my best to avoid spoilers for the next 12 days and experience it with the masses as was intended. I've come a long way from the guy that would download every leaked Nintendo game ahead of time for my hacked hardware. Heck after the 3DS and Wii U, I haven't even hacked my Switch (though it is a launch model and capable).

Both of his prior marriages weren't exactly high profile. Unless you consider Shanna to be a professional top-calibar actress lol.

Someone made this comment before seeing my edit lol.

I'm shocked to see a Skiba era song in there, especially one that asks Tom to sing in it at that. Cynical seems a little odd of a choice in this regard, I would have thought Bored to Death if anything, but I have no issue with Cynical being the song they chose from that era all the same. I do wish there was a Dogs Eating Dogs song or two in there though. Disaster feels like a song to me that should regularly be in their live shows. Edit: aw snap, didn't even see that Bored is also in there. Nice!

How long would it take for a finished album handed in to then get pressed to vinyl and CD formats in mass quantities to be distributed across the world? Album may be done, but will we still have to wait a few extra weeks before we can listen to it just so that it can be available to purchase physically at the same time? Would they possibly release it digitally first (to be available right as the tour starts) and then offer the physical version as it becomes available? Very curious how things progress from here.

Doesn't that just further illustrate the point? I mean it'd be one thing if they had pre-orders with album art and a track listing and yet still no release date; but to have pre-orders with no such info makes sense as to why we still have no clue on a release date, and certainly doesn't make anything late.
