I’m gonna miss him, but it feels like a distant fever dream looking back at his time in blink. I don’t have much of a musical bias towards any era of the band. I like it all for different reasons. Was gonna buy tickets to see them at least once before they call it quits someday, but Ticketmaster is telling me otherwise. Back to the boards, I figured the youngest of the regulars was like at least 30 so I’ve been trying hard to refrain from using any zoomer language here. 😆 I’m gonna miss Skiba too. That era was still blink for me so while different and obviously not the same I still loved it all. And don’t worry about using Zoomer lingo. @Nasa is a baby too so you two can zoom it up all over the place. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 25 now, it's all downhill from here, sonny. Actually - I read something about your frontal lobe not fully forming until you're 25. I don't know if it's placebo, but I do feel different. Like the final form of Charizard you know. How are you finding your 20's? It's taken me half the decade to even start figuring it out, confusing af 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knapppers Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 I think I started lurking at 18-20 and now I'm 31. Doesn't feel like I've been on here that long at all 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 i'm very happy to have been wrong about this. anyone who is a longtime fan of skiba knows that he struggles with a lot of personal shit. it's apparent in his lyrics and some of his late night IG posts. so, if this had been handled poorly, i'd feel really bad for him. that's something i didn't want. i think the fact that he's been living with family in a chicago suburb for over a month is really telling of where he's at lately too. he's probably hitting the reset button. despite being happy for blink, it's gotta be a mental whirlwind for him. one day, he's taking press photos on top of the empire state building and playing good morning america. then, a few years later, he's reading about their triumphant reunion from a random park in the midwest where nobody will ever recognize him. i hope he comes back with the best alkaline trio record ever. 6 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roux Posted October 15, 2022 Report Share Posted October 15, 2022 Matt has an incredible band to go back to - a band that hasn't been the same for years, hopefully Alk3 regroup and put out amazing music again. Glad they all delt with it amicably - its always tough following in someone's footsteps. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted October 16, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 This week is insane, Skiba is calling Tom "papi" now. And what's in Vegas? edit: Alkaline Trio is playing When We Were Young this year but not next year with blink 🤔 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted October 16, 2022 Report Share Posted October 16, 2022 At this point if we don’t get a 4 piece song or at least a live performance with Matt coming out for a few songs I’ll be very surprised. There is no hard feelings here. Everyone seems to be good with each other. It’s an opportunity they’d be stupid to squander. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
