Nosferatu Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 I just wanna hear a blink album with no other songwriters involved and with no producer telling them how blink should sound. Just Mark, Travis & Skiba writing and recording their shit, then taking it to a producer that'll help improve those songs instead of telling them to start over from scratch. Would be nice hearing some songs with Skiba taking charge and hearing bridges that have a balance with no vocals & vocals. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark won't ever do it because he thinks how they work now is the best way to do it, I don't think he'll go back to traditional songwriting which is a shame as this approach doesn't produce anything substantial. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of Nine even if they did hire a bunch of songwriters to help out. They at least experimented a lot more than they did on California, But there's no point in having songwriters when Mark & Skiba on their own can actually write amazing songs with clever lyrics. I don't think they'll write the way they did again unless Tom comes back and although I can see him coming back again one day, that's not happening any time soon IMO. Mark just won't allow it until he knows 100% Tom can commit to recording an album as a band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Value Boy Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Anyone else looking forward to the Skiba fanboys turning and admitting he wasn't that good in blink as soon as he officially gets the boot? already seen subtle posts saying that they think it's the right time for a change despite him being the second coming of Christ when Nine came out a year ago. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the Kansas crew are Skiba fanboys. I think they love the name Blink-182 and therefor have to support regardless who was the guitarist. I feel like they treat bands like sportsball teams wher the players are consistently in rotation, but it's the team one has a loyalty toward. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's likely to happen, it already happened with Scott and Tom (although there were legit reasons to dislike Tom). Funny how it's fan fic when people speculate whether Skiba has a coke addiction, but everyone was happy to jump on that same assumption when it applied to Tom. I think the speculation is dumb regardless and not justified, but just another double standard for the dumb fanboys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skiba's guitar sounds awesome here. Sounds like shite on blink's live shows. Honestly it makes me think it's to do with the mixing for videos or live streams more than the set up. It was the exact same problem with Tom in the band too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 Alkaline Trio just sounds so good. But I guess the people who take care of the sound for these guitar center sessions know very well how to do their job and it's in their best interest to make the band (and the instruments) sound good. I think Social D's best performance of Prison Bound was also on guitar center: @Diddy Faplord have you seen this? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 There’s been posts saying Skiba is sure to get the boot for 2-3 years now lol. Gonna keep getting repeated until he eventually(maybe) does leave and it’ll be joined by a “Ha! We told you so” even if it doesn’t happen for another 5 years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mard_Smartiest_Blinkfan Posted August 11, 2020 Report Share Posted August 11, 2020 i was thinking about how matt is there cause he fits so well not musicly wise but in the "clubMed/country club/big famous bros hangout/fun party" wise that has become blink Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When i saw blink live in person back in 2012, they sounded good. Wasn't anywhere near as bad as what the streaming & videos were in that 2009-2014 period. I imagine it's still the same now, where they sound decent in person but the videos & live streams of their shows sound trash. It can't be Skiba's guitar cause that sounds great on that Alkaline Trio live performance video haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Bagel Posted August 12, 2020 Report Share Posted August 12, 2020 I like to consider myself objective and by no means a Tom-Bot (maybe that’s what a bot would say, idk). I’ve got to say tho, I think Kiss & Tell is a fairly decent Tom song, like slightly better than okay. I’ve gone back to it infinitely more times than anything on Nine, not quite some songs on Cali. I’ve listened to Quarantine once, I have no real desire to listen to it again. What does this mean? I don’t really know. What is a blink fan called when they believe that blink in a nutshell is the dynamic/relationship between Mark and Tom. Without that there, the band feels stale (to me) , it ceases to feel like blink. Does this mean I’m a bitter fuck that can’t accept present circumstances? Idk. Does this mean Skiba blink has a distinct lack of chemistry ? Idk. Was Tom the dominant creative force behind what made blink, blink? Idk I don’t fucking knOOOW 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I find incredible is how horribly wrong Tom played dumpweed during their last few years. Then he showed up for that Pursuit of Tone documentary and played it perfectly on his Fender Strat. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was SO bad, and it seemed like a lot of it was intentional, as if he was mocking his own songs and band. And yes, I am on YouTube under the same name. That’s crazy! Lol I didn’t see a notification of anyone with that name responding to me yet tho. But that’s too funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
