Cheerios4u98 10889 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I wonder if we’re ever gonna get a concrete answer from blink about why Matt isn’t in any of the collabs. I doubt it. They have to know that the fans notice. If it was just one collab without Matt I wouldn’t think anything of it but it’s all of them. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The image that accompanied the song just had Mark and Travis. Seems like no skiba. No we can say with 100% certainty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not without word from everyone involved saying he had no part in it. The song credits on Spotify say “blink-182” not just “Mark Hoppus/Travis Barker”. We can be 99% sure since it definitely seems like he wasn’t but 100% needs a little more. But I don’t believe he is part of it at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They all say “blink-182”. And they’re all just mark or mark and Travis. It’s literally mark and Travis on the cover. I don’t think you need confirmation. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nosferatu 1805 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 Agree with Scott. This song is absolute trash and yet has another Adam's Song riff added to it. I only first heard of this Oliver Tree dude yesterday and I just knew from his image that I wouldn't like the song. The XXXTentacion one is the best one by far and the only decent one iMO. I did like the Chainsmokers one at first but the singer's voice just grated on me and it was made worse by the robotic effects. That Goody Grace song is just boring asf. Travis' collabs with MGK, Halsey and that are far better. Although they technically aren't blink songs, I hope these tracks aren't what the Nine EP with the collabs on are gonna sound like. I prefer the collabs that have their own solo names added to it. That Amy Shark featuring Mark Hoppus track is so much better. The Say Anything track that features Tom on it is so much better. The tracks that Travis works on with rappers are so much better (the ones with that guy called nothing, nowhere are actually really good). The ones with the blink-182 name as brand recognition are trash. This won't ever happen but I just wanna hear a bad ass blink song with Skiba taking charge and someone like Robert Smith, Kanye West or Tim Armstrong appearing on them and actually complimenting the song unlike what Yelawolf did for PLG. Hell I'd take MGK or the ATL/Simple Creatures guy on a blink track rather than these lame ass try hard singers that dress like they belong in a Disney movie. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Njdevils26 252 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 I think the only way we will ever know what this version of blink 182 would truly sound like without all the extra writers and whatnot is if we can somehow get blink 182 to collaborate with alkaline trio. I’m not joking. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
swells17 17 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 when i listen to blink nowadays compared to their older stuff it just sounds like a completely different band to me. not that that's a bad thing at all i love skibba and i love tom they just sound so different especially with NINE. Some days i'll be hyped to listen to skibbas "OH OHHHS" all throughout california and others i love to hear toms scratchy "I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING" voice on dude ranch ya know? both blinks are great in different ways and i'm glad to see them so happy and active again. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Osgod 1023 Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 They called It Blink for Marketing purpose. Write Blink on it and it sells 10x better. E.g. +44... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chewy030 3027 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Mark confirmed on twitch they’re hoping for an EP by the end of summer. I’ll be interested to see how much of Matt is on it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think you need confirmation. Matt was invited to work on the Chainsmokers collab though and this video shows him there with everybody while they're working on the song. He obviously was way less involved than Mark and Travis but he was there being involved. So if your 100% certainty Matt had no involvement with this song is shown to be wrong then why is it so wrong to say that we can't say with 100% certainty Matt had no involvement with the latest one? I still don't believe he had a single part to do with it and will continue to assume he didn't but we cant say with absolute certainty he didn't because we all assumed he didn't for the chainsmokers song but then that was proven wrong. All i did was answer Davey's question as correctly as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ry-Bread 5759 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I feel like a lot of these are just so quick and so random that they don’t even want to waste Matt’s time, given that he has already gone above and beyond everything asked of him. Send the peeps a quick verse, and of course it’s a no brainer to say it’s “ft. blink-182” for both sides. Harmless win/win. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
theedge00 1988 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 Wow that Oliver Tree song is really a waste of Mark and Travis’ talent 😬 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ry-Bread 5759 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I listened to that Oliver Tree album yesterday and actually dug most of it, it’s very catchy. Taking over the world in a bowl cut and Jncos, what a boss. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iguessthisisgrowingup 355 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I like it too, don't get the hate at all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan_ 2248 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 The extreme lengths people go to justify why Matt isn’t being involved in blink collabs is pretty sad. Dude is a so called member of the band and isn’t even appearing on their new releases. Its not about not wanting to waste his time lmao 😂 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elisa 3303 Posted July 26, 2020 Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 I was rooting for Peggy Sue the entire time. It's kinda crazy that it was their most played song from 1995 to 1999 and it left the top 20 in September 2011. Edit: Mark on twitter 😢 3 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it has Mark and Travis, then it's still fair to call them blink 182 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
