For me I was 13 when I first heard them so and 15 when I first saw them live in 2001. I fit right in though because I was a trouble maker already smoking a lot of weed at the shows, I certainly didn’t have my parents take me lol. There were definitely a lot of teeny boppers around them at that time and that even turned me off then, can definitely imagine how you would have felt.

Cheerios4u98 Posted July 14 Report Share Posted July 14 Also it just hit me that we’ve gone longer without hearing Mark and Tom on a song together now than we did during the entire hiatus. 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 yeah i’ll never forget that night. i must’ve listened to UAN a hundred times. back then, i was on 182online. i knew the song wasn’t great right away but i was still just so overjoyed to hear mark and tom singing together. i guess in moments like those, or in light of mark’s recent news, all notions of constructive criticism or thought disappear and you just revert to being a fanboy. i was just so stoked for it, and for the band. and i still like the riff too, the song just doesn’t work. fun to remember. enjoyed seeing stryker at KROQ’s video too; clear he is a massive fan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannabe corn dog Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 it's a good song it just wasn't the right choice for a "comeback" at all. if it was just a deep cut we heard later i don't think it would have a bad reputation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll never have that feeling again lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'll never have that feeling again lol Yeah I remember thinking “this sounds like the best AVA song ever.” I still think it sounds like AVA but I don’t think it sounds like the best AVA ever. It’s a good blink song that’s not a great single and always sounds bad live. Mid-tier for me. Still, the excitement of getting that song can’t be topped! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted July 15 Report Share Posted July 15 Always rated Up All Night but it was a strange choice for a single as it's not exactly a catchy and chart topping type song. I also didn't get too much AVA vibes outside of that spacey effect in the verses. Literally everything else in the song sounds like blink & BCR to me.

I don't get so much AVA vibes either more than it sounds like Toms songwriting which most connect with AVA. If we compare Toms songs he used for neighborhoods and the songs he used for love pt1 we can clearly hear that he tried to make the blink songs more "raw" or "angsty" or whatever with more power chords and stuff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flight of Apollo has similar vibes with the post hardcore styled riff and that space effect as well but despite that, both songs sound completely different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand the people who prefer blinks albums with Scott because they prefer that more straightforward style of “punk rock.” But there are plenty who’ve argued over the years that Scott was faster than Travis which is simply not true. He just doesn’t play the same beats over and over, and he can definitely play anything Scott can faster and more precise. There’s really no debate in that.

I never said "Scott plays faster than Travis" haha. Im just into more those old songs. I know Travis is a f*cking GOD on drums but I have never been into his beats like most of fans. But that part was Reaaaally cool to listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I emphasized how I understand how people prefer the Scott era as you do, I was just eluding to arguments I’ve seen on here over the years, YouTube, etc , about Scott being faster.
