asdf182 Posted September 6, 2019 Report Share Posted September 6, 2019 Am i the only one who feels this is the right time for Tom to rejoin the band? it may sound weird but tom and mark are kinda on the same page at the moment, musically at least. With mark doing all this "synth-pop" stuff with SC and Tom has been implementing lots of synths with AVA, Travis colaborating with lots of cloud rappers in recent years making beats and stuff, i feel like something awesome could come out of a new blink record as soon as they keep it real. It might not be a "punk rock" record, but at least it will feel honest and real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent told me to eat crayons when I disagreed with him about something. Really makes sense now why he loves this music that's targeted towards children so much. Clearly he has the brain of a child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah. I'm young enough to remember when those bands were starting (FOB, Good Charlotte) but that's not what my brain goes to when I think of pop punk at all. I'm thinking the 90s. blink, Strung Out, Face To Face, Lagwagon, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Midway through the process, the band became concerned the material felt too familiar and predictable. Barker was the first to voice concern, with Hoppus and Skiba later agreeing and informing Feldmann.[7] The band decided to start over, and continued their work with outside songwriters. Hoppus likened the approach to a blind date, as prior to the sessions, the band members and producers/songwriters had yet to meet.[2] During the recording process for Nine, the band worked with several artists, among them Pharrell Williams,[8] The Futuristics,[9] Captain Cuts, Andrew Watt, and Tim Pagnotta, with whom they wrote the singles "Blame It on My Youth" and "Happy Days". Much of the new songs were built around Barker's drum beats, rather than guitar melodies -https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_(Blink-182_album) "Blame It on My Youth" Single by Blink-182 from the album Nine Released: May 8, 2019 streaming GenrePop[1] Length 3:06 LabelColumbia Songwriter(s) Mark Hoppus Travis Barker Matt Skiba Tim Pagnotta Sam Hollander Matt Malpass https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blame_It_on_My_Youth_(Blink-182_song) The Futuristics is an American songwriting and music production duo consisting of Alex Schwartz and Joe Khajadourian https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Futuristics It probably took 14+ songwriters to write the 49 second song "Generational Divide" -https://blink-182online.com damn Google something sometime Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was one of the reasons I loved Blink was because they were a real band that wrote their own music. So why dont we just swap out Mark or Skiba for anyone else? Seeing as you could care less about their songwriting. Damn dude you are a fucking #punk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Remember when Matt first joined blink and everyone was saying it was just going to be +44 combined with Alkaline Trio and we hoped that the AK3 influence wouldn't be too strong in blink? How fucking awesome does a combination of +44 and Alkaline Trio sound now? I want that so much. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they played to their strengths and made a genuine punk or rock album, it likely would have been great. I really think the death of Blink is twofold; Tom going crazy and fucking off, and Jerry Finn passing away. The band probably could have withstood one of those happening and be alright, but both really fucked things up. Blink going pop only worked with Finn's production (or even Mark with +44/Neighborhoods/CTTM/MDL), but they've just gone with pop producers. I do think they need to start to decline in popularity soon for them to ever go back to genuine rock. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Resident Zoomer Posted September 7, 2019 Report Share Posted September 7, 2019 Agree with the last two posts above me, an ALK3 (or any other Matt project) mixed with Mark’s +44 elements and Travis’ drums would’ve been perfect. As with every other recent blink single, IRWIHY has become a bit of a guilty pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
