Alkaline Trio Band • Page 14

Ugh, fuck I wish I could go. Hopefully this amounts to more shows.

 

You know, it's weird that I never thought so many people would miss the Trio.

 

What do non-Blink fans/big Alkaline Trio fans think of Blink's recent Grammy nomination? Are you stoked for Matt? Disappointed? I'm curious what the trio's fanbase thinks of it. Are they rooting for Blink to win it?

Personally, I'm stoked for the band and especially Matt. I can't imagine how exciting it must be for him, specifically.

 

I'm super happy for him, fans on social media seem to be pretty stoked. My only issue is I think the media are going to treat him as a side member if they win.

 

I mean, I was bored by the album and truthfully don't care about Blink anymore, but I'm more stoked for Matt. Shit, if him being in Blink brings more people to listen to Trio, that's fine by me.

Presale is up now for Chicago.

 

Such a great album, been listening to both Sekrets albums a lot lately.

 

Alkaline Trio, assemble! Stoked.

 

Remember this gem? So strange that Trio covered this, but it makes me insanely happy.

 

I'm so happy about these Chicago shows. I missed Alkaline Trio so much.

 

Such an underrated tune.

 

@Fuck You Aurora Agreed. Those BYO split songs are so good.

 

They really need to play those songs live more.

 

There is a presale for the Chicago shows on etix right now with the password HEINEKENALK3

 

Just snagged mine. Thanks for the heads-up!

 

It's funny, I'm pretty underwhelmed as a whole by California but it influenced me to listen to Crimson and holy shit that's a good album

 

Crimson is sooooo good. I gotta put that on my phone cause sadly for some reason it's not on google music

 

Fuck me, do I love this song.

 

And people weren't crazy about Crimson.

 

Yeah I remember it being really polarizing when it came out. I was a big Crimson apologist but have cooled on it since. Not that I dislike it, but I don't rank it as high as i used to.
But damn Dan and his demos were so strong that cycle.

 

Also what stands out to me most about that album is the more obvious effort to get some dual vocals on the songs. They had only rarely took advantage of the dual/duel vocals thing before Crimson, but they went "Old School Reasons" on three songs that I can think of off the top of my head.

I wish theyd go back to harmozing for each other more than for themselves. Their voices are both unique and so different from each other, but the last few albums they seem to have just been doing more of their own harmonies instead of harmonizing for the other singer.

 

The dual vocals are great on Good Mourning.

 

Yeah that album had me being one the big supporters of them using more dual vocals, because it worked so so good on small doses we got of it on This Could Be Love and 100 Stories

I also love when Matt's bridge on Love Love Kiss Kiss kicks in on A&I

 

I just listened to Emma in the car speaking of this lol.

 

I always wondered if Dan ever left the band, would Matt replace him ?
