Dylan_ Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Tom actually sounded kinda okay last night on Jimmy Kimmel. Probably one of his better tv performances in a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 haaaaa Literally a whole minute of backing music and lights flailing about while Tom pretends to play along and the others just awkwardly stand about... as soon as the vocals come in he sounds like a dying cat. Ah, I love how Tom can continue to 'entertain' me, even if it's in the completely wrong way. Also, I've repeatedly said it, but this song blows so fucking hard haha 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan_ Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 What’s with Mark and Tom sounding terrible on National TV performances but then sounding kinda decent when you see them live? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 Tom is legit starting to sound like Tim Armstrong, without the style of music or swagger that allows for it to be cool. Tim Delonge? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted September 29, 2021 Report Share Posted September 29, 2021 I never want to hear a Tom-bot complain about blink's tiny amount of backing tracks again. Rubin and Rubano are the only musicians here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seriously looks/sounds like the entire performance EXCEPT for Tom's vocals are prerecorded. Yeesh. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can understand AVA having some synth stuff but full backing tracks is fucking gross, literally could've played the album and just given Tom a mic to do bad kareoke to it and it'd be the same experience. I hate it when blink do it, and I hate it here too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink on the other side have never needed it and that is why it's bothering me, if they would play the songs a bit faster but with backing tracks it probably would be better though, All time low have a tiny amount of backing tracks live and they sound fantastic and not that stale happening that is a blink concert today 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom doesn't even want to try to play guitar anymore, and David's is out of tune from the moment it kicks in, maybe it's a blessing they backing-tracked him out. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have we already forgot about the time matt gave the guitar to a kid and nothing happened to the guitar that was playing in the PA? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing you should have on a backing track is something you can't emulate live (like synth, if you don't have a dedicated performer for it, or a click track) and neither band needs to have literally the whole song. It's bullshit. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin and Rubano are the only musicians here. I would rather blink hire a guitarist and maybe keyboardist to play backing tracks. Green Day’s live shows sound so much fuller and complete compared to blinks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
