I think a dark and serious Dude Ranch would be the closest comparison for a Blink that actually utilized Skiba's skills to the fullest. try these: good mourning (this could be love, we've had enough, continental, emma), crimson (time to waste, burn, sadie), agony and irony (calling all skeletons, help me, over and out, into the night), babylon (voices, angel of deaf), kuts (any song from this album). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vinegar Posted March 31, 2019 Report Share Posted March 31, 2019 Finally listened to a couple songs on Simple Creatures or whatever it's called. Never tried out ATL before, but I voted for Alex. Seems he'd actually contribute to the writing process. Just seems a better fit for blink. Not as good as the guy who actually wrote half the blink songs (Tom) but better than that stooge Matt Skiba, who has literally brought nothing to the table. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 People seem to be really struggling to understand this poll... It's who the better fit is for new blink-182, if Mark wanted to experiment and put out a mature album then sure Skiba would be the best pick. However, this clearly wasn't the case - he wanted an easily accesible bubblegum pop/pop punk album which Skiba has no experience of whereas Gaskarth has been doing it since 2005. No contest who the better pick would of been for this new version of blink-182. Gaskarth would of bought loads of new fans to the table which Mark would of loved too as he is so desperate to be popular, sure it would of alienated some of the die hards but lets face it, that ship has kind of sailed anyway. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient #48273 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Already said last week why I thought Skiba was a better fit. Nice try, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 Skiba is the secret sauce according to Mark. Gotta go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I think at this point that Mark isn't even the right fit for blink if pop is the direction they want to go in. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point here Kay. Almost seems like mark should hang it up with blink and forge on with simple creatures and other projects. As much as I truly love blink, they are so far removed from what they once were that it has become tough to follow them. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted April 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 A lot of people who’ve been to these shows are saying how good they’ve been and how much Mark has been on form. He has much more chemistry with Gaskarth, looks like he’s loving life. What a terrible fucking decision Skiba was. Can we just replace him with Gaskarth and pretend nothings happened? Its getting to the point where I’m not arsed about new blink at all, I’d rather more simple creature music. I fucking hate Skiba in blink. I don’t hate Matt Skiba ad a person or artist I just don’t want him in Blink. It doesn’t fucking fit. He doesn’t suit the band whatsoever. Anyone who thinks he does is a try hard clueless cunt imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 If you replaced Skiba with a cardboard cutout you wouldn't even notice at this point. Gaskarth isn't the answer but punt fucking Skiba out is a start. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiba really is a disrespectful cunt. however I like the instrumental of that all time low cover, but the vocals ruin it for me.... just way to overboard on the nasal/Poppy thing Works perfect in simple creatures though let blink rest in peace already ffs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I think Gaskarth would have fit in better on California specifically (I mean I've always thought it sounded like an All Time Low album anyway) but I still think Skiba has more interesting things to offer if blink will let him. I'd rather have Skiba. I hope his influence shines on the next record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
