Osgod Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 That is kind of a bullshit thing to say. I've seen people criticize Neighborhoods in much of the same way. Just because we are blink fans, does not mean we will eat up everything they put out.Mhm I dont know. It seems like everything Skiba does with Blink is golden (e.g. "the setlist is so awesome"...when the setlist is more or less the same - but Blink really had the chance to give the fans an unique setlist with more older songs...) and everything Tom does is shit. It's not that easy in my opinion, not just black and white... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 People are def biased here too. Even before they played the 3 shows, people were creaming all over skiba. It is reasonable to assume that this primed them to like the performances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 This was pretty disappointing. The latada part was maybe the best one, I guess the "ay ay ay I" thing was ok. Maybe it's a grower Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is reasonable to assume that this primed them to like the performances.We were just excited at the thought of a competent live performer in Tom's place. It could have been just about anybody and the live show would have benefitted from the change and we all knew it, I mean have you seen or heard Tom perform over the last decade? We had every reason to be excited about anyone singing and playing guitar live in place of Tom. And undoubtedly, our feelings were validated by Skiba's 3 performances.

redhotbrianpeppers Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 THAT'S BECAUSE EVERYTHING TOM DOES AT THE MOMENT IS COMPLETE SHIT! Best song he's ever done? Wtf are you smoking? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I know the tombot account is a parody, but it still gets me worked up just because I know it's barely an exaggeration of what some people actually say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Some people just have it set in their minds right now that they're going to hate anything Tom does anymore. Like me with Nickelback. Nickelback could release the greatest song in the world and I'd still hate it because fuck Nickelback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im happy for the people who enjoy Skiba. And for sure, Toms performances were unacceptable and he needed to be replaced, no question about it. But my point was that there is a good chance you (and other people) might have rated Skibas performances higher due to the excitement of Tom being replaced. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, Skiba's performance wasn't out of this world amazing. But it was just so refreshing to see someone trying on stage. The performances were really good. Maybe not spectacular, but a gigantic step in the right direction, that's for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Tom does something I love be it in blink or out of blink, I acknowledge that, for example, I've been vocal of how much I like The Wolfpack and Anomaly. Conversely, when I think something is crap I acknowledge that as well, even when it's in blink, for example I do not like This Is Home at all, and find MH64636435675 to be a very bland and boring song. I'm not blinded by my fandom, perhaps some are, but I call it like I see it, plain and simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 I know sometimes it seems like people shit on Tom just to shit on him, but honestly everything he's done for years now has been embarrassing. It's pretty easy to say his new songs suck, because they do. He sucked live, because he did. People are pissed at him for using Blink as his cash-cow, because he did. Pretty black and white issue to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 People like me are creaming over Skiba because he isn't an astronaut, isn't a dictator, and isn't fake. Most importantly he is a musician, and brings legitimacy back to my favorite band, so yeah, color-me excited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that its the best song he has ever done (its clearly not!). I said that some people would still hate it even if it was the best song he has ever recorded...
