Ixidor Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Yeah talk about awkward interviews if they became a 4 piece. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I really can't see how this is a best case future scenario. Imagine Tom, Mark and Skiba trying to harmonise each other? it's bad enough when it's just a combo of two of them. Also there are plenty of Blink songs where a second guitar part is simply not needed, sure most of their songs have extra guitar parts but they're usually very low in the mix and I wouldn't them to get the levels right. Can imagine Skiba playing a really quiet subtle backing guitar part that completely overpowers the main part that Tom is playing, or vice versa. No, no, NO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw 'em a few times in their heyday and that's good enough for me. So, fuck it, let Tom come back, put out a few songs and quit again. Repeat this cycle every few years, I'm good with that. I stream all their shit anyway and I don't buy their merch so I've got no skin in the game. I'm not losing money on a shit product, fuck it. Bring back Thomas. I've never got the luxury to see them as they've only been here once twenty years ago. Would love to have a chance to see them, any lineup really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hit me up Jans ex Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I don’t understand how people can possible think a 4 piece with Skiba and Tom would ever work. For so many reasons, it never could. It’s never gonna happen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feeling_This_1 Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 The biggest obstacle with the 4 piece will be guitar tone. Can Tom fix his terrible tone and play alongside Skiba and his weird guitar choices? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He mocks most of the blink songs he wrote himself, he sure as fuck won’t be up there performing songs from California and NINE with Skiba (or by himself). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nosferatu Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 The only song I could see him performing from this era of blink is Generational Divide. Maybe Bored to Death would be another he'd perform, but any of the others he would never stand for IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixidor Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 Imagine a reunion with tom, where blink acts like cali, nine and whatever else was inbetween do not exist and they rock a greatest hits setlist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely what would happen IMHO. BTD is the main setlist staple from this era, it would essentially be just dropping that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, I was thinking ahead if they actually were going to play. They could probably just swap them out between songs. But none of this will happen anyway, it's fan fiction!

If Tom reunited, but they kept Matt and became a 4-piece band, maybe Tom would be on board with a few of such songs if they gave him some parts to sing instead of Matt or Mark. But if a reunion with Tom meant that Matt was out, then yeah, I doubt anything after his absence would be there, except maybe a single or two.

Green Day briefly officially became a 4 piece band during their trilogy of albums where they made Jason White an official member (though he later was demoted back to just a touring member). And I never thought they would ever be anything more than a 3 piece band, so ya never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ixidor Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's not like Billy Joe was kicked out, replaced and then returned to form a 4 piece. Green Day's situation is/was nothing like Blink's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, obviously it's not the same scenario at all, but based on where everyone is at, it sure feels like Tom will be back in the band sooner or later at this point. The question is just, if he returns, does Matt stick around or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 tom needs to be the center of attention and is very passionate about the idea of blink being his band. he doesn't even mention matt skiba's name in interviews. if he came back, skiba would be gone and they would likely pretend that whole era never happened. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thoughts exactly. Maybe he doesnt want another guitarist coming up with ideas for “his band”. Might cause a toxic environment, and its not like blink doesnt have enough of that already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Maybe he's just annoyed by the fact that all Skiba has managed to contribute is ganking a riff Tom came up with 20 years ago and using it for every song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
