The part where I was accused of censorship when I hadn't censored anything should come between bullet point 3 and 4. Because of this, I didn't reach out to Oliver before going rogue. The thread would have just been cleaned up, rather than deleted, otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I don't think it would scare away new posters. At the end of the day, as soon as they join, they're gonna see negativity about California and Feldman on other threads as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wrong to propose a thread for California critiquing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 I actually thought the safe space thread was a good idea. Not sure what happened there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was actually nice to see peoples positive thoughts about the two albums. We should start a new safe space Parking Lot is still my car jam. I can't help myself to scream CHICAGO along with Matt. Just can't Edit: The California Safe Space. Great name for a thread 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 It ended up being the same complaints as in every other thread, just delivered in a tad less dramatic/angry fashion. I could start up a California Safe Space but unless it's heavily moderated it will be kind of pointless. And if I heavily moderate it, it will be "censoring" and i'll get scolded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a lower note that moves around while picking the same two upper notes (if that makes sense) Tom did it a lot as well (WMAA). But at least Tom was clever with it and didn't use it with tons of songs. Got to wonder if Matt is the one writing those riffs, or is it Feldman........ Since his stuff in AK is much different.....we might assume the worst. It's not so much the concept of playing a different root note and playing constant upper notes. That's classic blink. It's more the fact that Matt doesn't play with the formula. When Matt does it, he is playing the bottom note twice, and then the top note once, almost every time. Tom at least played around with the order. What's My Age Again and Dammit use the same idea but they're totally different sounding riffs. Matt** took Tom's riff from Story of a Lonely Guy and used it on almost every song. **probably Feldmann 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted March 15, 2018 Report Share Posted March 15, 2018 This page runs google ads. Is this all a ploy to snag more ad revenue? Explains all the mods going rogue lately. Guess Ghent's idol was Tom all along. When can we buy some b182online merch? Tom might not be in Blink anymore, but he lives on through these mods. And royalties.
