G form (fifth fret, A string) at the start instead of open stringed. tom arpeggiated it on the D string to start the walkdown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you tell him that's fucking annoying? tom was all about the arpegios and hammer-ons. he went to AC/DC's "thunderstruck" academy of music. but as i've said before, that's one thing that made blink stand out in the scene. everyone was doing the octave chords after NOFX established the style. and you had metal-influenced technical bands like strung out. but no one was doing this goofy, 'i just learned my major scales' hammer-on stuff. it made tom distinctive. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark made a discord, here’s the invite: https://discord.gg/xeM8hv9 It’s cool. He’s been pretty active in there. At least in the video games channel. He answered a couple of questions I asked him about his switch. There’s a blink channel so we might get some cool answers to some questions if we’re lucky enough and no edge-lords(Jan) join up just to give him shit and drive him away. I got a +44 answer today! Idk if it was a stupid question or not, but he answered it!! Asked the meaning of "scraped" from "scraped and sober" He replied: "scraped empty" 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prankerd14 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 Im pretty new to discord but is there anyway just to see marks responses and not have to scroll through years worth of fans talking shit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can search by user I’m pretty sure. Choose a channel and there should be a search bar or icon up top right. Should be able to search and find mark’s posts that way.

Cheerios4u98 Posted August 31, 2020 Report Share Posted August 31, 2020 I'm so confused by discord. It's essentially just a chatroom? I feel like I've been transported to 1999. Haven't used a chatroom since I was a wee lad. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figured more people would point that out if he did say it Until we have evidence i won't fully trust the quote but i do think it somewhat shows it's pretty much Mark's call if and when Tom comes back. But i do hope it's true because at least it means Mark is nostalgic and can remember some good times with Tom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
