Ghost Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I've been a few days without listening to any blink song, neither Bored To Death. But I just listened to it again, right now. It's absolutely fantastic. What a fucking comeback. This is going a be a killer sing along song on the shows. It will make explode any venue. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they just shortened up the bridge a bit, wherein the full song, it goes through the whole "ooooh ooh ooh" section twice before Mark comes in, the radio edit just goes through that once. And I think they might've shortened the end a bit too, I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree but I am also worried that Mark is going to struggle singing Bored To Death live. The last few times I've seen blink play live he has sounded very weak and his voice was being drowned out by the music. Fingers crossed he has been working on those vocals!

ManchesterAdam Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The radio edit should also get rid of the outro, in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I thik they will tune down the song for the live performances. Alkaline Trio has been doing this since Agony & Irony (well, tons of bands, in fact), I believe, and it's a good thing. If they struggle singging in tune in standard tuning, maybe they will go for that. What I'm curious to see is how they will arrange the song. I think it's a little tricky to play the guitar parts on the verses while singing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's a little tricky to play the guitar parts on the verses while singing. I do this all the time when aying guitar/ bass along with my itunes. My pc has realtek sound drivers with options to add sound affects like arena hall or change pitch up or down 1/2 to 2 keys, i usually play down 1/2-1 key and makes it so much easier to sing. Also majes guitar sound more heavy and full Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Yeah, it depends on the song though, but I think Matt's voice suits much better now on a deeper tuning, so to say. I also think Mark's should sound much better too. The live performance of Radio I posted on the Alkaline Trio thread is amazing, and they're playing it, I think, on a half tone down than the standard. Solid as fuck. Edit: talking about live performances only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I actually love the outro. It's like they're letting us catch our breath while still savoring that groove a few more times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 I think they shoulda' had Travis' drum solo at the end happen during the build up just before the final chorus instead. Like Mark would sing "over and over and over" twice, then let the instrumentation take over for a couple more measures so they could fit a good chunk of the drum solo in there, then go back into the chorus and end on that final "life is too short to last long" I love the song but after a while of listening to it, I do have the agree the outro does kinda' end the song on a bit of a lull, save for Travis' drum solo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loudernow Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Bored To Death was played twice on the Swiss national radio today and was also choosen as "song of the day". That's great, cause I don't remember the last time time they have played a blink song beside ATST. Also I don't think I've ever heard Up All Night on Swiss radio... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy030 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 I've Listened to this close to 100 times now and it's still fucking great tune. Gets better each time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted May 17, 2016 Report Share Posted May 17, 2016 Just checked our local radio station's playlist here that actually plays Blink and they've recently been playing Bored to Death which is nice to see. I hardly ever listen to radio anymore. But nice to see they're playing the new one, they also played Dammit earlier today too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

topper182 Posted June 10, 2016 Report Share Posted June 10, 2016 Looks like with the release of rabbit hole, it gave bored to death a bump in sales. It's almost back in the top 100 on itunes. Also, Bored to Death is currently #2 on the Alternative charts. Should hit #1 by the time the album comes out. Not sure when their last #1 was.
