Ghost Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 11 hours ago, Champ182 said: It kinda makes me more empathetic towards Mark in the leadup to California honestly haha. Just imagine you're Mark, you're jamming with Skiba and Travis, going through ideas, Skiba brings in this kinda shitty song written by Fat Mike and Skiba is apparently hyping it up and Travis is loving it, but it doesn't really sound anything like "classic Blink" that you're trying to revive - OR even like some kind of cool Alkaline-182 hybrid - I might start to get discouraged and gravitate toward someone like Feldy who's whispering sweet nothings in my ear and selling me fool's gold too. (And on the other hand, if I was Skiba and this was a song I was excited about and was telling my friend that it might be the lead single, and then it was totally scrapped and your influence in the band was replaced by a new producer, I'd be instantly jaded too haha.) And then, you accept to write NINE with a ton of co-writers and co-producers. Hm... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've interesting to know what the blink version sounded like. It most likely would've been better as a blink song but I still think it would've been a bad blink song The other NOFX song that was recently released "Darby Crashing Your Party" is a fucking tune though Darby Crashing Your Party is NOFX's best song in years. The other song, I cannot even imagine it arranged in a way that works for blink or NOFX really. It sounds way too lukewarm, no real hook, medium tempo, sort of tired lyrics, and Fat Mike isn't doing anything interesting vocally. Even his worst songs usually have something catchy about them, but I agree that blink's version would have been better. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 I don't like it much either. I do thnik it'd work better with Blink though. I think everything they've released since 2003 has sorta ruined what I like about Blink. Some Mark songs and some Tom songs, you can tell who wrote which song, but they all fit together. Since then it's like they've been forcing this "we must both sing lead on each song" bullshit, that got even worse with Skiba. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was an unique feature from the band to do on a couple songs every now and then, but it was overused during the Skiba era, which wasn’t as effective when Matt obviously had more vocal qualities similar to Mark than Tom. I guess the band was hesitant on letting Matt have his own song, which I get on California, but everything after should’ve included at least one solo song with Matt. Mark had Good Old Days, Happy Days, and the joke songs (which is acceptable, don’t want Matt on a joke song unless it utilized his humor - which wouldn’t have happened likely). Not gonna make a list of songs Matt should’ve sang entirely on because it’s fairly obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Cum Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Not getting a Matt only song at least once is such a bummer. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 Tbh, Black Rain & No Heart to Speak Of couldn't sound more like Skiba songs if they tried. They wouldn't sound out of place on Alkaline Trio albums (especially if they weren't as overproduced). Mark might've sang on parts of them but they're definitely Skiba songs and great ones IMO. Black Rain was the track that Skiba took complete charge of as well based on the interviews around that song. It's a shame blink didn't have more Skiba songs though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cum Back Tom Posted November 4, 2022 Report Share Posted November 4, 2022 If Travis is recording a blink song in that story, have to say, another slow tempo, dang. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toypaj Posted November 6, 2022 Report Share Posted November 6, 2022 Anyone else used to have one of these? Used to wear mine for every blink show I went to back in the day lol. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295315329116 Also haven't been on these forums in a while. What does everyone think of Edging? I thought it was nice to hear Mark and Tom trading vocals again but wish the guitar was louder in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a vague memory of Rick being a weasel and essentially Tom’s bitch. tom paid him a shit load of money to be his manager so i wouldn't expect him to act any other way. he's not going to act in the best interest of mark and travis when they chose to part ways and hire their own individual managers.

_Bagel Posted November 9, 2022 Report Share Posted November 9, 2022 I think that Jimmy guy now manages Tom. He just seems like a rotund alcoholic, so I'm here for it . Gus Brandt manages Mark Kim K's Mum manages Travis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
