What the fuck is it that people are hell bent on saying everything I post is wrong? Its gets really stupid after awhile. The ongoing alpha/beta discussion gets stupid too. Really though I was bored and just wanted to post a stupid meme. Didn’t realize how gigantic the image was because I posted it on mobile. I saw my post on a PC and I felt like a fool!

Ry-Bread 5911 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Alternate angle of the IRWIHY ordeal lol, to me it just seemed like Skiba was playing the wrong chords? But idk... they jumped right into Dumpweed Here is the Misfits cover: 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donald Trump's Bulge 8557 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yep, 100% convinced Skiba fucked up and Mark is sick of it. The click track thing is bullshit. There is no click track that magically starts on cue when Skiba restarts the song. Skiba was playing the wrong chords. Mark even moves his head towards Skiba when he says "whats happening?" Mark knew if he was still fucking up the second time around it wasn't going to get fixed. So he made up the click track excuse and they moved on. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matt actually managed to butcher a 3 (power) chord song that literally don't change until the bridge. And the worst part is he didn't even notice it. Sorry, but that's a big yikes for me dog. I hate to admit, but my appreciation to my favorite band is declining. Slowly, but surely. It sucks man. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Neal 1827 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I dont believe someone like skiba who has been in the business for decades fucks up this bad and doesnt notice. He either has absolutely no musical ear or he has some other issues. I fear its the latter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ry-Bread 5911 Posted October 28, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yeah that alternate angle kinda shows Mark giving Skiba the stank eye during both chord changes, lol. He says "That's f'ed up" initially right away. The second time Skiba kinda shrugs his shoulders at him like "What am I doing wrong?" It makes for a funny moment.

Champ182 4305 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 I've cut way back on any "cover band/other people write their material" cracks lately but my god, that was just painful and sad to see. He's clearly pretending to play along to a backing track, at 0:16 he stops "playing" and the botched backing track keeps going without him and later on you can see him changing his power chord position but the backing track stays on the same note. So the backing track was off, Skiba didn't realize it and kept pretending to play the guitar, nobody knew what to do, what a mess. And then to just skip it and move to the next song like they're my shitty band in high school panicking after forgetting how to play a verse or something? Just play the song, you can still do it without backing tracks! You're professionals, your sound and lighting techs are professionals, it's your song, just play it! Between that Parking Lot video where he clearly isn't playing the riff, then Mike or whatever his name was getting the guitar taken away mid-song even though it sounded completely fine, and now this, I can't even imagine how often they're relying on fake playing to pre-recorded guitar tracks. (What would you call guitar lip-syncing anyway, riff-syncing? Is that a good phrase?) 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(What would you call guitar lip-syncing anyway, riff-syncing? Is that a good phrase?) Yeah I’m taking back my funny banter comment, that just looks fucking awkward. Actually thought Matt played there since it sounded like his live clean tone. He’s fine playing in Alkaline Trio, but what’s his deal here? “They’re not his songs” yadayadayada I get it, but they’re not fucking hard. There’s barely anything to this song that he apparently wrote but they keep managing to fuck it up live, usually at the beginning. They should just retire it but it seems like it’s the biggest single outside of Darkside. This is what happens when you create a song made for radio-play with too many cooks involved. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chewy030 3035 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yeah my desire to see them live is very small these days. I guess if they actually came to my town (which they never have, although it was scheduled than cancelled) I would go but otherwise i have no burning desire to see them live anymore.

Cheerios4u98 11315 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 They’ve been playing with guitar backing tracks for a long time now. Like a decade. Thats honestly why I think having blink as a four piece would be cool. No more fake guitar live. I mean, they don’t need it with three people either, but if they’re really that desperate to have two guitar tracks, two guitarists would be nice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know they had certain backing tracks going on to supplement what Tom played live, but not to REPLACE what Tom played live. Not that I ever saw or noticed anyway. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheerios4u98 11315 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 Yeah I’ve noticed it consistently since the reunion and it’s always bothered me. With that said, every time I see them live it’s still amazingly fun! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GuitarPunk2512 272 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 I think Matt is bored with blink, probably feels pressured now not to shit on Mark and Travis and pack up his shit and go back to trio, the negative press he’ll get for quitting wouldn’t be good. Or he facing some other demons... he acts bored and spaced out in interviews with short answers, his live performances are void of excitement. Probably doesn’t help that even he said it’s only a matter of time for Tom to come back and he basically out, he knows he’s a fill in and sees the negative comments about how blink is shit while he been in the band. He looks, sounds, and acts burnt out by blink. I felt bad in a recent interview mark and Matt sat down with some British radio host girl and the first ten minutes was awkward about Tom returning and irwihy being about him and Matt just sits like “you got to be fucking kidding me with this bs again”. Dude is probably sick of pretending in a band that isn’t his and wants to go back to his baby, his true creative outlet in trio, let’s just hope his time in blink land doesn’t cause deteriorating relationships with his trio band mates 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, as a musician and all playing in front of huge audiences like in blink must feel as good as a drug. These things are too hard to give up upon even if you feel like it's not your place. A good analogy will be a good soccer player, like Gareth Bale, got signed in one of the biggest clubs in the world, Real Madrid. Bale didn't fit in the club, the managers, the language, etc... but yet he still remains in the club. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lost in reverie 68 Posted October 31, 2019 Report Share Posted October 31, 2019 These neverending questions about Tom coming back must be really depressing. There's hardly any interview where they do not have to talk about that. No wonder, because Tom has stoked the flames of reunion rumors. And there are always a lot of questions about their past so naturally Matt doesn't have to say much about these topics. They should ask more about NINE (about all songs, not only the "singles") like this interview: https://www.rockurlife.net/interviews-english/blink-182-15-10-19-2/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheerios4u98 11315 Posted November 2, 2019 Report Share Posted November 2, 2019 I don't get the impression at all that Matt is bored of blink. If he was he could be doing more Alkaline stuff, but it feels like he's doing blink 90% of the time, and enjoying it. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
