Pretty sure that's Mark or someone else writing it. No way Matt has the audacity to just repeat Adam's Song for every 'new' guitar part he comes up with for a song. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've been interested in seeing it though. I do believe these are UFOs, but whether or not it's from other worldly places or just advanced human tech, I don't know. I'm not ruling out the former, but all of this stuff, I mean, I'm not sure how much we actually need to concern ourselves with it. It's exciting, but it's like, ...well, I mean, as others have said to me, it's very possible it's just a distraction to tear us away from Earthly concerns. Like, that's the opposite of Tom's pursuit, but I fear that's what some might be planning. Sigh! It's still entertaining. I like the thrilling music and Tom's funny expressions. Haha! Yea I’m with you by definition they are for sure “UFO’s” but I’m not convinced by any of it. So there’s supposedly hundreds of these things sighted in a fleet and the best we can do is some grainy infrared footage of a couple of them? I’m not saying the pilots are lying but I think they are confused. It’s quite possible that what they experienced are optical illusions they happen all the time. They happen especially when your flying at altitudes looking at other objects in the air that are flying at various loooong distances away from you. Yea I crack up when toms being all serious interviewing some nut job about a sighting. Still love the dude and super happy that he found another passion in life even if I think it’s weird! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and logs mysteriously disappearing or being erased?? That just seems too convenient. But totally agree about Tom. I'm happy he's happy...but I worry he's a bit scared or concerned and overobsessing...maybe that's Lui (Lue?) or others though. I dunno! Like, I'm totally skeptic of abductions stuff. Not that this show has gone there, yet, but you know, that just seems like that HAS to have some other explanation...like, have you seen the episode of House M.D. ?? Honestly, I forget the diagnosis, but it wasn't aliens. Lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We probably wont play any songs post neighborhoods and you wouldnt be a member but you sure are a fungai! Deal? Money talks my friend. It's not like Matt seems to be contributing much as it is. I imagine being even just a touring/rhythm guitarist for blink pays more than Alkaline Trio does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Even if Matt were to be completely hands off at that, point, I can still see him being a touring member or the like. Personally, I'd love to have him in there as a permanent member then, it'd be cool to hear songs with Tom and Matt singing, or even a few where they all have parts to sing. Why would the front man of a semi big band be a touring member of another band? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen a few examples of people jumping into other bands, for example Mike Herrera from MXPX plays with Goldfinger now as basically a touring member. Not saying Skiba or Tom would be remotely interested, but I think it gets more common as these guys get older and bands are touring less. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was a much bigger MXPX guy growing up than Alkaline but I've always figured they were kinda on the same tier. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MxPx were relatively big (in the scene) 1995–2000ish. alk3 really didn't start to take off until infirmary in 2001. from 2000ish on, MxPx's fan base has dwindled with each new release. so indeed alk3 did eclipse them as they were on the rise whilst MxPx was on the decline.

Mx who? Where I’m from in bfe Michigan, the only local music scene we had was Christian “punk” ala MxPx and then later Christian hardcore. So corny in my eyes. I was in a band once (not a Christian band), and a lot of the only shows we could play were at churches with these other bands. I remember drawing “Satan is my homeboy” (Making fun of that whole Jesus is my homeboy fad)on my bass drum head And really pissing a lot of people off lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4217 Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Oh man I totally forgot they were affiliated with Christian rock somehow, what was the story with that?
