High Value Man Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Travis is amazing and just continues to improve with his stuff. The rest of it was meh, better than KROQ, but vocally they are very weak and Matt/Mark just don't seem to gel, it just doesn't sound that great. EDIT: Now Mark can't even sing lower stuff on Miss You. I have concerns is voice is just going to give the fuck out in the near future. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kings of the Weekend sounds so empty live, especially the verses - the only reason that song has really made it into the setlists since California is because it's a piece of piss to play instrumentally, not because it's a good song. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the song and I am glad they are trying at least SOME new stuff. But it does sound very empty live, and their vocals are just not good. Matt doesn't even sound as good as a drunk AVA yodeling Tom anymore; and its quite hard to sound worse than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I like that KOTW because it seems like the backing tracks aren't on??? Seemed raw, I love Skiba's guitar tone there. I Miss You sounded fine IMO, it's boring because we've heard it 5,000 times. Trav crushed the outro. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomas D. Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Yeah their live performances just keep going downhill to the point where it just makes it uncomfortable to listen to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would make Miss You sound sooo much better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Here's Feeling This/ATST (start at 4:30ish to skip I Miss You) they crushed these! Funny that Matt actually said "Surprises let me know she cares" since they were on Kimmel, as opposed to "Cunnilingus so she knows I care" like he's been saying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent's Brother Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 Nice! Very solid performance, especially for a late night show. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Mau5 Posted May 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I can't believe this is what passes as "killing it" for some of you. This band is fucking awful now, not only compared to what they used to be but as musicians in general. Travis is the only one able to make this band reputable. Go show this to any one of your friends who have no idea what blink is doing now adays and ask them if they'd keep listening to them after a performance like this. Good god, and some of you had the audacity to complain about AVA's live shows. At least that band never had a reputation to uphold. 10 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prankerd14 Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 I still feel matts voice is a bit strained, the no control bits on kotw seem like hes trying to save his voice. Marks pretty old now and that massive tour they did for california seems to of killed his voice unfortunately... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a chill pill man. It's just weird to be part of a board for so long, and a fanbase for so long - to watch so many people slowly set the bar lower and lower for a band that used to absolutely dominate in so many ways - their live shows being one of them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 How can you be asked to join one of the world's biggest bands and fail in every category? Guitar? Suck Writing? Suck Live Performance? Boring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This quote sums up everything. Used to be a band that I would drop everything for to hear them play anything... yeah, now I could go definitely go without hearing the botched WMAA openers and strained vocals. Yikes.

Ghent Posted May 24, 2018 Report Share Posted May 24, 2018 lol at the idea that blink used to "absolutely dominate" live. cringe They sounded like absolute balls live in 2003/2004, the pinnacle of blink for most of the posters here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They weren't really that great during the reunion either... Toms Guitar tone and drunken slurs etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
