Travis writing One More Time is insane!

 

They also confirmed they took full ownership of the band for this album and hardly had co-writers doing anything but just sending some ideas here and there.

I thought Travis said he wrote the hook for YDKWYG, I don't recall the OMT mention.

Also here's the Travis smelling food reference.

I’m just listening. Not watching video. Doesn’t sound like I’m missing much by doing that thankfully.

They look really good ngl.

[Jan Mortensen]

Oh damn!  Zane brought up Skiba straight on, love this type of tell-all shit.

Kind of held back from really digging in on it, but still good.

[Knapppers]

The bit was Tom and the dummy is too funny. I know he mentioned it once in I think it was that Ernie Ball doc, but I was still pissing myself laughing.

You’re correct, he wrote the chorus for YDKWYG. Apparently he also sings with Tom on Fuck Face

Yep, glad to see him brought up and that his influence and memory lives on. Need to pour one out when the album drops. 

[Man]

Safe to say Redditors are the most dumbest people, it’s clear they never interact with humans in person, saying shit like Matt is probably mad or hurt or will sing about blink negatively on their(AT3) new record. 

what the fuck is wrong with their brains?

[Knapppers]

Love how they straight up said there's a reason we did no for press for this album and it's cause we don't want to lol. 

[Jan Mortensen]

Whoaaa major bomb drop - Travis produce however the hell you want.  Directly saying he confronted Mark about it not feeling like blink with him and Matt, and they shouldn't use the blink name and Mark not being ready to hear it was huge!  

Full pause and rewind

Also them genuinely seeming to love Matt's music is cool. From all 3.

Makes you wonder if blink would have continued with Skiba after NINE or even at all if Tom didn't return.

It sounds like Travis said they shouldn't continue to use the blink name after that

Someone check on the Kansas crew. 

[Jan Mortensen]

Terrified lore is pretty badass - and the transition from grudges to friendly competition smirk from Mark was great.

This is getting a second watch from me.

SAY REBEL GIRL WAS TOM'S BORED TO DEATH MOMENT WITHOUT YOU, SAY ITTT

Blah blah death of the author blah blah

Zane being a genuine blink fan makes this 10X better.  "THAT'S the Boxcar Song?? Oh I can kind of hear that".

This is great, so glad they found seats. 

[Chrisx37]

I didn't mind Zane Lowe! This was a really heartwarming interview. I was surprised to hear that Mark and Tom talked shortly after Bored to Death launched, and you can really hear how bitter he was about Tom leaving again. Travis talking to Mark about it not being blink without Tom is so wild. The bit of BCR talk was cool! Maybe I misheard but it sounds like we're getting more Travis vocals?? And the Jerry talk near the end, love it. Man I'm so happy for these guys, everything feels right in the world again. Cannot wait to hear the rest of this album.

[allsystemsgo]

I didn't know that Mark was THAT mad after Tom left the second time. Definitely wasn't the vibe I got. I assumed the first breakup had more animosity, but the second one actually sounds worse.
