I’m seeing him Friday in Kansas City, how was the show? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still want to hear what the band would sound like when left to their own devices. It is what it is though, new music is better than no music. Hey maybe that’s why they scrapped all that previously recorded stuff before Marks diagnosis? After Mark’s experience with cancer he realised the songs didn’t represent him and wanted to go in and write an album organically with Matt and Travis based on his recent experience. Easily just as likely as, possibly even more so, of a scenario than them putting the “final nail in the coffin” of this era of the band. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re right, it’s just as likely a guess as any other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really have any interest in seeing them live anymore, I’m not big on shows in stadiums these days, especially with the price tag that comes along with them. I’m the opposite. I could give two farts in the wind about new music, especially with Skiba. I want to see them live and have a good time reminiscing. Bring on the TOYPAJ anniversary tour! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boxcar kind of fusing Toypaj to Untitled. Also, who cares. Point is, no one regards this current iteration of blink with Skiba as any point prior and it's own thing. California/Deluxe/Nine all feel very much the same to me though as much as Boxcar/+44/Self Titled era did not sure about anyone else (obviously way more shitty though) I was just busting your chops. I can agree untitled is still prime blink, but I was referring to an old argument where I got mad you called untitled blink vintage blink lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ain’t throwing down a couple hundred to listen to Mark whisper his way through the same handful of songs he’s been doing since 2005. The options for guitar are Skiba who I’d rather see with AK3 or Tom who isn’t really good out of studio. Travis is always on point though, I’ll give his weird ass that. Also, people are gross and I kind of just don’t want anyone to touch me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you get drunk enough, they still sound good and you can sing along. Seeing Travis is worth the ticket in my opinion to be honest, dudes just fun as fuck to watch play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To each their own though, enjoy yourself and have fun. I’m mostly just a grumpy asshole, I definitely don’t expect anyone to follow my opinion on anything.

It’s not easy to do that. And I can’t imagine I’d have any fun at a blink show these days if I didn’t have some drinks lol , I’d probably hate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted July 6, 2022 Report Share Posted July 6, 2022 I've been a little disconnected from blink news lately, and since I'm too lazy to search back through this thread for answers I'll just ask: is Travis alright? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JarJarBlinks Posted July 7, 2022 Report Share Posted July 7, 2022 So our good pals at blink italia are saying there is a rumor blink is going to play Lollapalooza in South America in 2023 as a 4-piece. Sounds far-fetched to me personally....but interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
