One Hundred Fifty-Two Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Tom has been singing like a jackass since they reunited. It's painful to listen to. Even the older songs he puts his new style of singing on. jonnywreck 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I've said it a few times and I said it again... +44 could perform all the Mark songs live... No one wants to hear Tom songs sung by other people... Despite how shitty his voice actually is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkinglot Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Let Mark and Travis actually get the band moving and have a real future without 1/3 of the band preventing itI'm sorry but blink has no future. It's over, and I'm glad. They had a good run from 94-2004. Brock N Roll 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnywreck Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I don't know that they'd do Tom songs without him, but I'm pretty, pretty, pretty... Pretty interested in the possibility of Skiba singing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrrom92 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I haven't even seen them since the tour right before their first "breakup". So aside from neighborhoods, which was pretty decent although not particularly a "blink" record, I really have no familiarity what they've been up to. Dogs Eating Dogs still hasn't had a proper release so I've yet to hear it. I was able to briefly meet Tom a few years ago and he seemed nice enough as a person, or at least appeared to be - I have no idea how much of that congeniality is an act or if he's actually a knob in person if you really get to know him, but I also have no misconceptions about how his management handles things - on his behalf or otherwise. I'm not sure if the blame is completely on him, I think he's been in serious need of new representation for some time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacredheart Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Exactly. Like Travis said he pretty much used Blink as an income source and advertising opportunity to get people to listen to AvA. Over the past 5 years he's been wearing Angels stuff to every show whether it's the Love t-shirt, the AvA beanie, or his guitars with Love artwork on them. It's not like you see Travis with a +44 logo on the bass drum or Mark with a +44 shirt. They wanted to focus on Blink while Tom just fetishized over AvA the whole time. I havent seen Travis where anything except his "Can the Drummer get Some" shirts since his solo album, so yeah, Id say they are all using Blink to promote their own things.

Everyone that seen them since they got back together knows it's Mark and Travis and that dude from AVA playing shows. Whatever made Tom fun to watch with blink has been long gone.

BlinkandPanic Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 But still, the foundation of blink was the perfect mixture of "Mark songs" and "Tom songs" and without "Tom songs," it simply isn't blink anymore. They need to wear blink-182 shirts to blink shows and keep all their independent projects separate. That's the way it was before and that's the way it still should be. There's even a lot of AVA-ey sound to neighborhoods that I didn't like. The main problem is that they're letting their side projects leach into Blink 182.

I think the main problem is they're fucking 40 years old and songs they wrote in their 20s were written in their 20s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoosen Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Now I am ridiculously tired and may not be thinking straight, but when had Travis or Mark let things "leech" into Blink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this applies to the general scheme of things, what do you think about acts such as The Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, The Who, members of The Beatles, U2... I mean, just because things are aged, doesn't mean they can't go back and revisit them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they key difference is that Springsteen didn't write songs about dick and fart jokes. yocaseycasey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That these dudes are too old to play songs they wrote 20 years ago? Pretty lazy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree, just stating that it's pretty difficult, if not insulting, to compare Tom Delonge to Bruce Springsteen. billya 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you missed my point. I wasn't saying that their artistic merit rivals one another, just that they've all been playing music that they wrote a long time ago.

I was just enforcing the fact that Tom grew out of it and really doesn't owe fans anything like Blonk over there was saying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 is there going to be a repress of TOYPAJ soon? If there is a Blink record you can't currently buy at Hot Topic then you can likely count on it getting repressed soon.

BlinkandPanic Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 is there going to be a repress of TOYPAJ soon? There is a thread for this. Travis will let us know as we get closer. http://boards.vinylcollective.com/topic/95358-blink-182-splatter-vinyl-series-hot-topic-exclusive-update-posted-514/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
