Alf Posted August 21, 2019 Report Share Posted August 21, 2019 Worst era of blink is probably when Skina first joined the band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meltdown Tracker Posted August 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 Yikes, so the vast majority of the most diehard and educated/informed fans think the California - onwards era is the worst for Blink. Didn’t think the results would be quite this lopsided but just goes to show how shitty the band has become lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think so? Songwriter perhaps especially lyrically, if we look at old Alk3, but guitarist? I don't see or remember anything in Skiba's catalog that is more difficult to play than anything Tom wrote prior to Enema. Not that blink is really that hard either but some of the older riffs are certainly more difficult than Alkaline Trio songs at least due to speed (M+M's, Wasting Time intro come to mind). I hate Tom's obsession since 2004/2005 to the present with U2's the edge and delay pedals but I think he's a better guitarist than Matt Skiba. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted August 24, 2019 Report Share Posted August 24, 2019 I would say Matt is better at playing alk 3 songs than Tom was at blink songs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was strictly going off of difficulty to play. I definitely think Skiba is a better songwriter especially lyrically but from what I've seen of both, and neither are technique wizards on guitar, I think Tom is better at playing guitar. Just my .02 from listening to both bands since the 90s and being familiar with their discographies. Despite Skiba being the better songwriter, I like older blink more than anything by Alkaline Trio (though I do love Alk3). I really do wish Skiba would care a bit more about playing better/correctly with the older blink catalog they currently play live. Now as far as bass players between the two bands, Dan Adriano easily over Mark. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh depends I guess. I've seen the trio a ton of times between 2000/2001 and 2010. I've seen Matt play pretty sloppy and drunk ala older Tom except not as fast as Tom.
