Snaggle Von Swift Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 John Feldman & backing band. Will wait to hear more until I decide if I feel I need to own this on vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdwell Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeesh....I've been over Feldman since Stomping Ground. Can't stand his production style and can't believe he's kept putting out material under the Goldfinger moniker for this long chiefwahoo, freezeflash and mclz 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 (edited) Wondering who played what on this album...Goldfinger has been doing shows with Travis Barker on drums and Mike Herrera on bass...would be awesome if they were both on the album. Edit: the press release says Travis Barker and Herrera did drums and bass on the album. Awesome. Edited May 24, 2017 by mmhmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArtThief Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This must've been the track Blink didn't want to use. Snaggle Von Swift, Jesus Of Suburbia and sVegas22x 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Wow. I don't know Feldman's history as a writer/producer for recent Blink but this definitely sounds like it could be a 2017 Blink song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, here's another reason why I don't want John Feldmann back to produce Blink's next album. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmhmm Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 This isn't saying much but Jason Tate over at Chorus posted that he's heard the album and said it doesn't sound like Blink 182. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 I get a she's outa her mind vibe from the song. It's not bad but it sounds like a crappy version of something from California. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) I like it, but not enough to PO just yet. Also, SRC just announced in an email that they have Goldfinger news coming tomorrow. If it's Stomping Ground, I will be quite happy. Edited May 25, 2017 by marc32137 TheComebackKid and Snaggle Von Swift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 (edited) Well, I didn't think they could make a worse album cover than the new Flatliners record, but Rise done gone and proven me wrong with this one! Almost looks like it was drafted up in MS Paint, slightly tweaked, and then set to print. Song is tight, though. Sounds like what I'd imagine Goldfinger would sound like after losing all the original members and recruiting members of Story of the Year, MxPx, and Blink-182. Also producing every band that has the "pop-punk" label attached to it. Although it could be said that Goldfinger pre-dated all those bands and, therefore, have influenced themselves through the bands that they've influenced. How's that for some meta pop-punk shit?

Eh.....I'm fairly certain Blink-182 pre-dates Goldfinger....MxPx probably does as well...minimum they were/are contemporaries. I would also also argue that's not Jon being influenced by bands he influenced....it's blending in with the crowd and the scene....like how they started as a punk/ska band because that's what was happening and then they morphed into whatever brand of pop-punk was popular. I would say he's a bit of a camouflage artistic and through production and time spent on the road he's befriended some of the bigger names in Pop-Punk and recruited them to play with him. Great business move. I'm certain he genuinely enjoys making his music as well as producing. Maybe I'm just old-guying, but I hate his production style and I haven't been a fan of anything he's made since Stomping Ground (his music or producing).

I guess I always assumed the guys from Goldfinger were older and therefore around longer. My comment about the influence was more of a joke than reality, but I think debating on where people picked up certain influences is a fruitless endeavor because it's all subjective and whatever. I do think they took a crazy nosedive after Stomping Ground, which was a perfect record. I could probably jam San Simeon every day for the rest of my life and never tire of it. If anything I just hope they tour down in Texas again so I can watch Feldmann go off. He was always one of my favorite frontmen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoying post-Stomping Ground: To each their own. I hope you get to catch a show and enjoy if you're still enjoying them I just felt like "Goldfinger" was definitely more than just The Feldmann Show....he could call this project something else with those kind of cameos and this lineup backing him live and still get decent coverage....my issue is calling it "Goldfinger" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I pretty much jumped ship after that. And I agree about the lineup. It's not a Goldfinger show without Darren putting Twinkies up his ass. shenanigans 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a really interesting interview where Mike Herrera talks about being in Goldfinger with Darren Pfeiffer. It's on his podcast, but it goes all into Feldmann's controlling nature and kind of gives some insight into why the band is what it is now.

Would be excited if they didn't sound awful! i got amped when they announced the Self-Titles first album and pre ordered it immediately. I can safely say I have yet to be more disappointed as far as vinyl releases are concerned....the artwork looked like they scanned a CD booklet and blew it up at kinkos and it is probably the worst vinyl master I've spun on my turntable. I like Hang-Ups better than the self-titled and still haven't picked it up because of how awful the self-titled was all around. Hope they don't screw up Stomping Ground and Darrin's Coconut Ass for y'all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
