Cheerios4u98 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'm 100% excited for Tom being back in blink no matter the circumstances. The reunion era was weird and kind of stupid but I loved the music we got out of it. I'd take back that blink-182 in a heartbeat. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought he was trolling us most the time, kind of awkward when we realized he's dead serious His emails to the Clinton campaign that leaked also included CC messages where they made fun of him and acknowledged that he was a crazy person 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah exactly, the music was more interesting as were the live performances. Those acoustic sets as well as Tom fucking around with solos and intros made it a lot more refreshing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll give ya that the new music was overall more interesting with Tom post reunion, but good lord, their live performance were fucking terrible post-reunion while Tom was around. They're nothing special with Matt, but I can actually listen to the Matt shows and not want to rip my ears off, yeah Mark is still flat, but at least Matt doesn't sound like he's murdering a cow every time he sings live. The small acoustic sets with Tom were admittedly interesting, but those were only a few songs each night, and the rest still sounded terrible when they played the rest of the sets traditionally. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy or not, they are just as bad for continuing conversations in the middle of a presidential campaign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom mimicking blowjobs was more interesting than Skiba acting like a stiff and reading off a teleprompter while fucking up every blink intro. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent an hour watching this and summed it up nicely for those who don't have the time... you googled a meme just to be a prick. Cheer up, it was just a joke. No need to be so serious all the time.

Skiba is boring live, can’t play some of the riffs (WMAA is embarrassing), and needs a teleprompter for the lyrics. I’ll take crazy, drunk, not giving a shit Tom over incompetent, boring Skiba. At least Tom is entertaining and changes the songs up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Based on videos I've seen of blink playing live, I'd rather watch Tom. Sure it can be a complete shit show but it's the reason why I love live blink. I've always preferred his live tones over Skiba's. Skiba is the better singer but Tom makes up for that with his stage presence and charisma. Rather watch a crappy punk rock live set than a perfect (average in the case of Skiba with blink) but soulless and boring live set. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Rickman Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 A blink show with Tom is >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> than what we have now. The banter we have now is so gay. We might actually get an honest lyric from time to time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the "crappy punk rock" phrase was perfectly descriptive of blink and also why I love them. Tom has his faults but his voice, sound (good or bad) is so distinctly blink that any show without that really does just sound like a cover. It surprises me that anyone prefers Matt in blink. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 The thing that made Tom's sloppiness and stuff even worse in the reunion era was that his guitar sounded like absolute shit so it made everything sound TRULY sloppy and bad instead of like "oh classic Tom, so charming and punk rock!!"

JarJarBlinks Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 The problem is all of you clamoring for Tom don't realize that there is no upside to him coming back besides one mediocre, stitched together album because he probably "won't have time" to get in the studio with Mark and Travis, and one tour. Then he'll magically get busy with his stupid books and fake organization and blink will just be stagnant again. Fuck that. Hipsters will whine and cry about Skiba or Feldmann or Mark or whoever but I'd take an active band anyday compared to one who would basically be shutdown by a lunatic control-freak. THAT is way more harmful to their legacy IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 I'd rather they completely stopped after DED than what they actually did. their legacy is already ruined, Tom coming back would just make it more entertaining. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 24, 2019 Report Share Posted May 24, 2019 Their legacy was already ruined with Neighborhoods tbh. While I loved some of those songs, it showed Tom didn't care, has major problems, and also that Mark was done artistically. Like comparing it to their older stuff, it's a different band 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
