The blink 182 general discussion topic

[zzzz]

Shameless plug incase you don’t check the podcast thread, Part 1 of my interview with Christopher Holmes is now available on pretty much all podcast platforms. In this episode we discuss his background, how he got involved with Mark & Travis, a super deep dive into the creation process of the +44 album, touring with them, etc. Enjoy:

I remember liking it a whole lot when it came out, and it was a hot song for internet rumors about Scott that made it even more interesting and built this allure to it (drama!), but it kind of bums me out that it was just so obviously about him. How they get around talking about it is kind of interesting to me considering. Once it was a single, the band was already writing the new record and it kind of missed a lot of press opportunity to be scrutinized.

Yea I remember them denying it was about him. I do specifically Remember in MTV’s Making the Video they did say it’s about losing a friend to drugs and alcohol, and I think that’s the most they ever did to talk about it

This must have been posted back in the day, but this is the first I'm seeing of it, from a show in 2016, where they all switch instruments.  I love it.  Something about seeing Travis playing bass is really satisfying:

It does kind of bother me looking back they never, ever, talk about Scott when they still were mildly successful without Travis.

[Lindemulder]

I found "Tom" but its not listed??

FYI “LA Originals” Netflix special has tons of Trav/Mark and some blink footage in it. So dope.

Wow low key need this IRWIHY Miley version:

When you hire writers the performers are interchangeable 

[Resident Zoomer]

Based off the short preview we have of Miley’s delivery on the song, I’m definitely intrigued. I still like the song with blink on vocals, but with Miley, it sounds way more appropriate just being a full on pop song than being disguised as this weird pop/rock hybrid it’s obviously not. 

[Nosferatu]

I'd love to hear this version. Not a fan of Miley but I'd much prefer pop stars in blink songs over rappers, unless it's Kanye West.

[boxelder]

yuck, all the same. IRWIHY is my least favorite theyve ever released. it's a mess

Exactly.

He just said she sang on a version of it and he didn’t know it leaked lol. That would’ve been huge for that song.
