The blink 182 general discussion topic

[Rickay]

Brian Fallon should have replaced Tom 

[Drama-Free Jan]

I've honestly never heard of these guys, listened to three songs and never feel the need to listen to again.

Talk about forgettable/boring/middle of the pack type band that of course someone on blink182online has a boner for.

[Drama-Free Jan]

Asking Alexandria, Rise Against, Gaslight Anthem

 

Thank you, I can now complete my perfect trio for mediocrity faux-important bands that grew up in upper-middle class households, that love to play in ultimate victimhood of their parents kicking them out of their house at age 25 but giving them several thousand dollars or a trust fund inhertance to spend on their band that won the high school talent show to go make some faux-important videos.

 

The first video I watched they entered a bar called "Stoned Pony" in all black outfits and overcast weather for their video.  That should tell you everything.

Fuck you Myspace. (Although best social media platform ever overall)

[Drama-Free Jan]

Also, Bruce Springsteen had so much charisma and iconic songs, they shouldn't even be mentioned in the same breath, knockoff or not, it's like a knockoff of a knockoff of a Bruce Springsteen + bEtTeR AmPs. 

Fuck Gaslight Anthem.

I’m pretty sure Gaslight Anthem is not this vibe

I’m not confusing you with anyone else. The only people I messaged regularly on that board were you, Frisky, and the octopus guy who I can’t remember the name of right now.

I genuinely haven’t heard of that record and clearly haven’t listened to it enough to warrant recommending it to someone. You are misremembering.

I would deny it too, it’s not a good record.

i refuse to participate in a conversation where we talk shit about the gaslight anthem, their first two albums and the EP the senor and the queen are perfect

I wasn't going to, but the hate here doesn't make sense. They're a very solid band live, genuine guys with huge punk and hardcore influences and Brian is a great songwriter. I'm really looking forward to hearing what their next album will sound like.

In fairness, most of the actual hate is just Jan Janning up the place

But zie can't help it.

Gaslight Anthem totally one of those bands people pretend to like because they think it brings them music credibility.

Oh look at me, I listen to something that sounds like Springsteeeeen.

[Patient #48273]

I don't care for Springsteen either tbh.

[JarJarBlinks]

I really love this album. Not the biggest fan of his recent stuff.

I've never understood the hype. Doesn't come close to the level of his peers (Dylan, Neil Young, Tom Petty, Seger, Fogerty, etc.)

Either be emo or don't. This is stuck in no man's land. Something to take a nap to I guess.

[JarJarBlinks]

To be Emo, or not to be Emo, that is the question.

It's just Jan talking to herself..

 

There, saved half of you some time.

[Maddey]

Of all the bands out there to shit on, The Gaslight Anthem is such a weird choice
