Pancho Poncho Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 A question to all collectors. Which is the holy grail of Blink 182βs discography in all its forms (cassette/cd/vinyl)?Β I recently started my collection. My most prized possession right now is They Came to Conquer Uranus. (Blue edition). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedo Posted August 14, 2020 Report Share Posted August 14, 2020 I've commented on it before but throughout my 17 years of playing guitar I have always had this weird mental block for learning the riff to Rock Show. I don't know why. I know that it's stupidly easy and I know that it's ridiculous I could never learn it ... even with tabs. Well, that all changed about 10 minutes ago. I'm sitting on my couch, fucking around and I happened to pick something that sounded like the firat bar of the riff. 5 minutes later I had the entire thing down ... all those years of looking at the tab and never getting it and all I really needed was a few minutes of figuring it out by ear. Guitar is fucking weird sometimes.Β 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar is fucking weird sometimes.Β Tabs don't show everything really, so much of it is down to feel, id always use tabs as a guide and then fiddle about with it.Β To this day, the riff in Plug In Baby (Muse) I can play pretty well, but it's not remotely like you're supposed to play it. Looked up tabs and just figured it out for myself after they annoyed me. Guitar is def weird like that.Β Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That ending of the video though was totally pointless.Β I can understand the arguments against the band though. And I really didn't care for the song I shared, just amused by the name.

Sitting here looking after my cat, stumbled upon this from way back in the days of 2013.Β I was 15 when this came out and I remember it clear as day. I can't tell if I still feelΒ 15 or not, but they've been a constant.They had the Untitled anniversary run a bit after, a great show at The Wiltern as well.

It would hurt to see it ranked last lol Unrelated, Travis is in the new MGK video and an emo MGK wears a FSAS shirt a minute in.Β Also, @daveyjonesΒ how many times did you see Travis live before he was in blink? Im assuming the Aquabats or his other bands played near you or opened for blink at some point.Β Ngl, MGK is probably better than most of these modern pop/punk bands that try for this sound. I've actually found myself interested in both this and the last couple ones he did with Travis.Β It's a bit forced on the lyric content, but it's catchy and melodic 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!ke Posted August 15, 2020 Report Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ya gotta keep in mind, he has to play and sing those songs regularly, what he enjoys might be based more on how much he enjoys performing those songs and not necessarily on listening to those songs.

I will never understand why they so rarely change it up.Β It does become a treat when they do though.Β Those tours in 2012/2013 or around then when they would have a brief acoustic set of deeper cuts was so awesome, really wish they'd do more of that stuff.
