Mr Blonde Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 BOOM. always said Mark was a top bloke. I hope they give us song snippets. Will listen with my cock out nqat.Why does he post there anyway? Imagine he posted here. Bantz would be off the scale. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...Dan... Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Be interesting to see what this new band can bring to the table, it could be great but it won't top Blink in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^or AVA for that matter right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I guess August wasn't a lie after all. i feel bad for having doubted that. This is great. I truly can not wait to hear a blink album with Matt doing his thing instead of Tom. It could be a disappointment, but it could turn out to be the best thing that ever came from blink-182, point is, I can't wait, the thought of a blink where all the members are on board and care makes me feel like 2003/2004 again.

decisions Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Wow, I was wrong as fuck and I couldn't be more glad. Of course, who knows when we'll actually hear anything, or if it is even any good...But this is a good sign and we should all enjoy that for now at least.

Mr Blonde Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Nothing they do will top the original blink obviously but we basically get plus44 with matt skiba under the name of blink and that will be awesome imo 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Never say never, nothing is impossible. Blink with Skiba could turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to this band, we just don't know yet. As such, keep an open mind, and just try to judge new music fairly. I know there will be "fans" that go in ready to hate the new lineup and ready to say the new music is worse without Tom regardless of whether or not that is actually the truth.

Jon Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Can't wait to hear this in Summer 2017!! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...Dan... Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 ^or AVA for that matter right? It might be on par with either Love album but it will never be as good as AVA at it's peak, WDNTW and I-Empire, I do think the latest EP could be Tom's finest work EVER though. Never say never, nothing is impossible. Blink with Skiba could turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to this band, we just don't know yet. As such, keep an open mind, and just try to judge new music fairly. I know there will be "fans" that go in ready to hate the new lineup and ready to say the new music is worse without Tom regardless of whether or not that is actually the truth. One announcement of entering studios to try out some song ideas and saying it could already be the best music this band has EVER released. ...and you should feel bad for doubting them Mike, you're Alkaline 44's biggest fan (apart from maybe Ghent) Jesus Christ. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 So why cant mark say that on twitter. Why does he have to announce it on some obscure fb group that barely anyone knows of 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...Dan... Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 So why cant mark say that on twitter. Why does he have to announce it on some obscure fb group that barely anyone knows of Because he is scared he will let down the fans yet again, if he tells less people on a non public domain it doesn't look as bad when nothing comes of it and we're still waiting for new blink material in 2017.

M!ke Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 One announcement of entering studios to try out some song ideas and saying it could already be the best music this band has EVER released. ...and you should feel bad for doubting them Mike, you're Alkaline 44's biggest fan (apart from maybe Ghent) Jesus Christ. You are failing to understand where I'm coming from. Any album that any band has not yet released has the potential to be that band's best music yet. That's just a fact of reality. This has nothing to do with the announcement of entering the studios, and it has everything to do with keeping an open mind. To say immediately that this music will never be as good as it was with Tom, instantly makes you less likely to enjoy the music even if it turns out to be fantastic. Where as to go in thinking, hey this could be even better (Which it could, we simply do not know yet as there has been no new content yet created), then if you recognize that the music is indeed good, you may well end up liking it as much as you should with an open mind. I mean its no mystery that you're going to hear the new music and no matter what say, "blink is dead, died when Tom left, this is ok, but it's no blink" or some such nonsense, even if its somehow better than blink's self titled album.

Kay Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think it's good that there isn't a 'large' announcement, because he said 'august' and people freaked the fuck out because Travis said 'end of the year', so at least this way only the more hardened fans know and not say the terrifying tweens of twitter and instagram. but that's just my thoughts. Im excited, but not expecting miracles. I think it might be a pretty cool album, nothing more, nothing less. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Yeah, I like the fact that they're going in with little hype. Will make the final product much better without huge expectations and deadlines and hype to fuss over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
