Kay Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 1 minute ago, mikela said: Yeah that is true and clearly they haven't rehearsed it at all. All Im saying is that power chords are pretty common for blink to do acoustically and since Skiba joined they have done a lot of those. In I Miss You he even plays octave chords with even less action going on and I dont remember people talking about that. tbf I didn't think much of it when they've done it elsewhere either but occasionally I try to pick my battles. the acoustic 'bored to death' makes an already boring song absolutely unbearable.

Njdevils26 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I find it great that when people point to how Skiba doesn’t suck, it’s always old videos of alk. Never is there a blink video posted of his greatness. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I don't really like Skiba in Alkaline Trio. That band is pretty boring. He's awesome in blink though 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been saying this for years, he posted this pic of himself with some other band from 2001 a few days ago and he had just totally normal short hair, he looks 1000x better than he has in the past however many years with his wacky giant spike hair. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly don’t like alkaline that much, there’s a couple songs I think are decent I guess. but to me, even without liking alk it’s clear as day he’s better in that band and is a shell of himself within blink. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I actually like the sound of power chords on an acoustic guitar. With that said, it was uncomfortable to watch that Darkside performance. I didn't even watch the rest of the video. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted October 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I actually liked the chorus at the quicker Tempo, it worked with it. Would like to hear a full version like that. But you definitely do not change tempo mid song like that, it just sounds completely amateurish. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan Backing Track Posted October 16, 2019 Report Share Posted October 16, 2019 I actually don't care much about the mix-ups and mistakes that much, it's blink afterall, it's more just the lack of shits given hollier than thou attitude and overall low energy that drives me up a wall. Idc if you go 100 mph and sloppy, just look like you enjoy what you're doing for 2 seconds and not looking like you're just cashgrab tour band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t say I’d pick Alkaline over blink with Tom but I’d definitely pick them over almost anyone else. I’ve only seen them once but it was so much fun! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're definitely not alone in that! They have a few songs that are absolutely killer but in general they're just not quite my cup of tea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
