Ghost Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 They really need to tune down when playing live. Definitely. I can't understand why in the hell they are not doing it when you can see really clear al the struggle they're having to sing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 1 hour ago, boxelder said: just like heaven was cool, and a surprisingly cool cover... not different, but fine. but i skimmed through it and it looked pretty embarrassing. how does matt continue to fuck up wmaa? how can mark, a professional musician for nearly 30 years, have trouble singing and playing bass on cynical? and why can neither of them sing worth a damn? it's worse than it's ever been for this era. i still don't miss tom's slurring/shouting/voice change, but skiba's not much better these days. Good question. also, it me or they had the guitar track sounding in the background?... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Matt is very unprofessional, he's in Blink 182, getting well paid, and he can't be bothered to memorize lyrics. Needs a teleprompter? That is just not acceptable. I don't think the singing is really any different than it has been, it was just higher in the mix so the shittyness was on display. The only person on that stage who gives a shit about their live show being good is Travis. Mark has it in his head that he will just show up, play a couple nostalgia hits, get paid, and that's about it. It's been that way for awhile. No Deluxe, no neighborhoods. But First Date!!! Yeh! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Overall I thought the show was bearable/mediocre but acceptable. Cynical was not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s my one gripe about Matt at this stage in the game he shouldn’t need a TelePrompTer for lyrics. The cure cover was a nice addition but outside that their setlist sucks a fat dick. Also KROQ needs to learn to mix their shows better. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Champ182 Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Just dropping by to point out that Goldfinger released a pretty popular cover of Just Like Heaven back in the day so we have yet another hilarious Feldy connection 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 “We’re 31 Seconds to Mars” lmao! Just watched this, and thought they sounded decent! Not sure if the live stream quality was different but the pro shot YouTube video I just watched was fine IMHO. My only complaints are that Skinny Matt seemed a bit lethargic and the teleprompter on Anthem II is lame! (Here’s a crazy idea, maybe don’t play songs Matt doesn’t know?) BTD was about as good as I’ve heard it live. The cover was super rad. (Although if they can practice a cover I’d rather them practice a DLX song) Slight screw up on Feeling This 2nd verse, one missed note on WMAA, First Date verse quick screwup is not that big of a deal IMHO. Tom was much worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 I like that Cure/Dinosaur Jr. cover, it sounds awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Dang that hoodie with a fedora is one of the dumber things I've ever seen especially when you have Matt yelling like that the entire time. That cover further proves they shouldn't be blink 182 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan_ Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Holy shit that was bad! Matt seems so bored on stage and Mark sounds like his voice is getting worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Maybe Matt seems bored because he knows he's out and is just there for live shows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knapppers Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It just really sucks to see what this band has come to. Really hammers home the point that i dont want to pay money to see them live anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Matt was never in Blink artistically, he is a guitarist for hire. Him and Mark had a go at writing and it didn't work and Feldmann's loud mouth took over. Matt just sticks around because its an easy gig and the pay is nice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elisa Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 It's really hard to defend a performance like that. I actually liked the cover but it's the only good thing about the entire set. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Well that was horseshit - same boring set (which I get as it was a festival) The mix wasn't the best but they are so sloppy and not in the fun energetic way they once were - it's boring and sloppy, like Kyle said - they need to fucking practise, and maybe seriously consider getting a vocal coach/some singing lessons.

Nosferatu Posted May 13, 2018 Report Share Posted May 13, 2018 Man, what is it with the mixes of the most recent shows? All the mixes from 2009 and onwards sound fucking horrid. Meanwhile, you got mixing from year 2000 sounding great. The only mixing that was good was that Las Vegas 2011 show or whatever it was.
