Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 69

Serious Blink is my favorite Blink.

 

hmmm. interesting. Wasn't expecting them to start with a serious song. But still stoked!

 

Best news so far! Plus, Matt being silly would sound so out of character anyway.

 

I like the sound of that!

 

I don't really understand this talk about whether or not they're going to release a 'silly' song. They literally haven't had one of those in like over a decade lol.

 

Quote from Feldmann:

“They’re dads now, so they’re no longer writing songs about poo and that kind of stuff. But there’s still got to be a sense of humor to it; it’s got to be fun and funny, but also age appropriate.”

 

Exactly. I think it's safe to say that the majority of us love that era and return to it quite frequently through their older albums, but silly doesn't work in 2016.

 

I don't think they (or anyone else) have said anything about wanting "silly" songs. Being fun and humorous doesn't mean it has to be distasteful.

I enjoy fun, summertime music, and blink used to be that for me even without their straight-up joke songs. The dark and gloomy stuff only sits with me for so long without something to contrast.

 

The worst thing that happened was actually finding out the release date so far in advance haha. All these people dropping vague descriptions of it is so bad. If they'd only announced today it was out next week I'd just be happy instead of so irritated!

 

A song can be both dark and catchy. Shit that's what Skiba does best.

 

On mobile so no idea how to post tweets, but one of the radio guys also said he thought it was a Matt-led song in reference to "Bored to Death."

 

I think they're letting the fans do what we've done best for the last 10 years - scour and speculate. It's probably more exciting that way for us and easier for them not to disappoint.

 

So we are taking the word of a guy who can't tell the difference between mark and matt!??

 

Aint they released on Thursday's normally?

 

okay, so that guy has officially lost all credibility for knowing what he's talking about.

 

Right!? Is the song he even heard blink haha. The plot thickens

 

Pretty sure that dude was listening to an Angels & Airwaves song tbh

 

"Yeah the song sounded pretty serious, had some lyric about wicker baskets"

 

It's the pink bass guy who has that podcast HiMyNameisMatt, right?

 

looks like the last couple have been, different days for the ones before that though

 

Make Blink-182 great again!

 

Are we building a wall?

 

to the radio guy who doesn't know the difference between matt and mark:

get em out. get em out. get him the hell out of here.
