Donald Trump's Bulge 8557 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Also the "backing track since 2009" crowd is full of shit.l Find me an instant of where they used basic chords like ATST as backing tracks. Sure they used Piano and other stuff on I miss You, or whatever. But ATSTs? Seriously? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He realized people were going to pickup on it if the guy did in fact mess up and he panicked. What a dumb fanfic...if this was your theory, then if the kid was doing just fine Skiba should’ve been thrilled. But no, he had him take off the guitar mid-song which would COMPLETELY EXPOSE THIS MILLY VANILLY SCAM HE’S RUNNING. This is seriously such a ridiculous fan-fic fueled by an unhealthy amount of hatred towards Skiba. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Basic C, G, F chords with proper strumming. It was pretty clear that there was enough backing guitar there that no one even needed to be playing. You are hearing full guitar when no guitar is being played. It would have looked so weird. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Trump's Bulge 8557 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Ry Bread has a lot of guts being critical of my guitar playing then exposing himself as not even knowing basic guitar chords like a 2 year old could master. Hilarious. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Russel Coight 4832 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 People in that Reddit thread about this said the backing track became way more obvious once the kid came on. Pretty clear it was turned up once he had the guitar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ry-Bread 5916 Posted July 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Neither of our guitar skills have anything to do with your ridiculous theory that Skiba mid-song in front of 12,000 people, after 5 years of playing to blink backing tracks...got terrified of being ousted as a Milly Vanilly guitar lip syncer and decided to... interrupt the show and show the world he is lol. blink has had backing tracks since at least 2013, and again, when Jimbo from Wisconsin gets up there to crap his pants during ATST, they crank it up even higher and lower his instrument to account for errors/nervousness if they suck. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It was widely critiqued when this tour was going on, do you not remember that? It’s lower in the mix then, but this wasn’t some magical thing that started when Matt joined the band. It’s been getting higher in the mix every year for the last decade. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly. Ripping the guitar off the dude during a part of the song when guitar is playing is a lot easier way to put yourself as not playing onstage. The backing track was turned up. The kid wasn’t playing the song right. Matt saved the song for the rest of the crowd. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NotNow 2772 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Okay rewatch the video. And watch the strumming at various points. He is strumming WAY too fast for eighth notes (like double what I think it should be at some points), on a slow tempo song. The best example I can give is at 5:14. What the fuck is going on, his strumming speed doubles at that second. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Melty Mark 4210 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 So the mix in Charlotte is so bad that my friends at the show are incessantly tagging blink on twitter to try to alert them... The vox are all the way up, and the low end is only the floor drums, zero snare or cymbals anywhere. No instruments almost at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
