The blink 182 general discussion topic

It would probably be a lot different if they made a BCR record without Travis on the drums. Travis has the style that fit what BCR was going for so for them to just get a different drummer I don't think it would be as well received as the first BoxCar record

tom doesn't want to release new music under the name of ava, because ava isn't existing anymore. having 2-3 new members would be a confession that the old members are no longer part of the band. (we all know that ava is over, but it's not officially stated. this way he can still release ava t-shirts, he can still tease fans with announcements of future announcements, etc.)

so now he's starting to use the box car racer name again. he can create anything as bcr, but it won't be bcr at all... but using the name is a good trick.

also, the new stuff can be awful, i bet people will say "that's what missing from the new blink".

Haha true. Thought the same.

Mark and Travis can talk about continuing the legacy of the band as much as they want (and it's true to a certain extend) but the main reason why they continue to make music under that name is because of the $$$.

I have no problem with that but that's obvious.

Yeah they're all just milking the cow now. Tom is milking the least successfully.

"I told Tom that when I lived in Riverside, I had been in a band called Box Car Racer that played music like that, with my friends Billy Meyer and Alex Barreto.* Tom loved the name Box Car Racer—I figured we had never put out an album and the band was now defunct, nobody had ownership use the name. I tried to get in touch with Alex, who had been in the original Box Car Racer, because I wanted him to be in the second version of the band. But he had gone MIA—nobody could get hold of him."

What that this mean?

travis' band was called box car racer if i remember correctly.

yeah, i found it:

"Feeble was my main gig, but I played on the side with pretty much anybody who asked: sometimes I called myself a drum whore. For example, I was in a trio called Crawl with my friends Billy and Alex—we were very post-hardcore, with heavy influences from Quicksand and Rocket from the Crypt. We played two gigs, and then one of the guys left. We replaced him and put together another slew of songs with the same approach, and called ourselves Box Car Racer. That band also lasted two gigs."

jesus fuck....Those vocals tracks have been beating to death with Melodyne

I mean i get it....It has to be in tune. And i don't consider mark a real singer anyway. But he's quite bad. Ofcourse i don't care cause he is a good songwriter with the skills he has and has an amazing tone in his voice. But still.

Its almost robotic.

You can hear it really well in ''Good Old Days''

Sometimes i just don't know where i BELONGGGGGGG *Melodyne. That part really destroys the song a bit. Super plastic fake sounding....like some youtube covers have going on.
