Of course we are going to compare the two if Tom is singing over the top of them. No one thinks it's Skiba's fault or hates him. We can definitely hate the era or music and shit on it how we want though. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxelder Posted May 4, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 that’s almost unbelievable. i’m not sure there’s ever been a major rock band where a member has left, been replaced, and then comes back and takes part in the songs they were replaced with. you almost wouldn’t blame tom for not having interest; it’s an ego thing. the fact that he is singing the songs he didn’t write suggests the hatchet between the three has been buried deeper, perhaps “more than we’ll ever know” (lol) as a fan i think it’s truly wonderful they aren’t skipping over the matt era entirely and celebrating it too. tom sounds great in those clips, super kudos to the person who recorded them. i can’t wait to see what they sound like tonight playing it. in cynical’s case especially, it almost sounds like tom was meant to be there. it’s mind boggling as a fan. as others have said, this is the all time best scenario for blink to be in. tom is committed, they sound great, and new music is on the way. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russel Coight Posted May 4, 2023 Report Share Posted May 4, 2023 I’ve been saying it since it was announced but Tom’s ego seems to have just gone. Everyone seems happy. The fact they’re playing these songs really shows that. This is truly the greatest timeline. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you know more about him than me! tombots obsess over this stuff I'm not offended by anything, but saying the songs you've been shitting on for 6 years are suddenly good because Tom is singing on them is weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bored to Death did not do much for me, so you can possibly sleep tonight now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
