Champ182 Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 Well, time to copy/paste myself again since the same topic has come up 900 times: Nobody gives a shit about who co-writes Angels and Airwaves songs because, for most of us, AVA never had a reputation of being a special organic tried-and-true songwriting team pumping out incredible meaningful music. Blink had an entire career's-worth of music that was made that way. So who cares what Tom decides to do with his other project? It's a straw man in the discussion of Blink using outside songwriters (which I don't really care much about anymore). I guess my view on it is that yes Mark lost his songwriting partner... but then he replaced him with Matt Skiba! Ya know, one prominent songwriter/bandmember out, one prominent songwriter/bandmember in. It's all water under the bridge at this point ESPECIALLY in light of what Mark is going through, but I still think they overcorrected by skipping the part where they actually replace Tom with Matt Skiba haha. Instead they replaced Tom's contributions with a revolving door of Skiba, Feldmann, and a bunch of randos from the music biz. And now Tom's producer/bandmember's brother is helping write songs for AVA and I don't care because it has nothing to do with any of that. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted July 30, 2021 Report Share Posted July 30, 2021 I could honestly see the Losing My Mind song being a random radio hit. It's not like usual AvA at all. Didn't realize all this was all dropping!! So excited for the last inner breaths of Blink's remains to hit my ears! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom is on his own, Mark has Travis and a supposed Tom - second songwriter/guitarist - replacement. Nobody gives a fuck what AvA does. What +44 does. What Boxcar does. They can hire who they want. They are experimental side pieces in my book. Blink is Mark + Tom. A force of nature that took the genre and music by storm. They started the band by writing songs from the heart. We don't want to hear what fans of the band come up with outside 1 or 2 remixes for that entity. We don't want Billy Joel hiring people to write songs for him. Blink is our Billy Joel. Billy Joel = Blink > Billy Joe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because he treats them as subhumans doesn't mean they aren't in the band with him lol. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PERIOD. Tom went off to discover uncharted territories, that involves experimental musical, unsurprised he has songwriters credits amongst his posse for said experimental band.

Tom himself shit on blink for working with Feldmann as a songwriter. I mean you need some nuance involved. It’s a bit different to collaborate with one outside writer than 10-15. It also matters how it impacts the sound - Feldman’s guitar and drums sounded quite different than previous albums and still stands out as a weakness to me compared to NINE or Neighborhoods. And like Kevin said, people view Blink differently than AvA. It’s like comparing your first love to someone you’ve been on 2 dates with. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
