Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 171

Hoping for some smaller UK dates this time around rather than arenas.

 

I think it was BMG Chrysalis

 

Same, but I'm not too sure they will be. If they can get a bill similar to this, maybe have The Wonder Years or someone like that open and a band similar to All Time Low as main support, there's no way they won't be an arena band over here...

I'd love a smaller venue show, maybe in O2 Acadamies etc., with just one opener and then they're on.

 

I like the new song, but having two vocalists seems pointless now. I didn't even realise Matt was singing on the song until my 4th listen haha. They both sound so similar, there's no contrast anymore. Mark might as well just do all lead vocals.

 

It's like Where You Want To Be all over again.

 

So glad to see everyone's positive reactions to this song! I was at work when the song leaked so unfortunately I wasn't able to partake in the ridiculousness with everyone (super bummed) but seriously this song is amazing! Blink has been my favorite band for the past 11-12 years so this is just such a great time.

 

Not sure if it's already been spoken about but have people seen Tom's Rolling Stone interview where he says he is still in blink?

"I love those guys," he continues, "The only thing I think about is, I want them to be happy. [But] I don't want the legacy of the band to get fucked with. I do care about that. I don't want an incredible legacy to be ruined." Still, he says, he's not closing the door on playing with them again. "I'm not opposed to it. I still would be interested, if people would just pick up the phone and call." (Confusingly, DeLonge gets in touch with Rolling Stone a few weeks later saying, "I am currently in the band." He maintains that he has never officially quit or been fired.)

I agree. I'd love them to play smaller shows. 02 academy in Glasgow would be great personally. As long as they play dates in Scotland, I'll be happy. Last time I saw them was in Aberdeen in 2010. So long ago haha

 

The moment I heard the oh oh ohs, I thought "These were put in here to make sure Matt had something to do". So I kind of agree with you. At the same time, I think they work really well when Mark sings over him. And not to mention during the drum outro, I love that.

 

This is a crazy opinion, the best songs on S/T blow this away ("Feeling This", "I Miss You", "Violence", "Down", etc etc)

 

same!

 

You know that Matt singing first chorus and second verse right?so he definitely had something to do hahah.i think the ,,oh oh" was put there for more for delonge feeling haha

 

Otherwise exactly how somebody here said.this giving me feeling of ,,TOYPAJ" goes to ,,Untitled" which Iam happy with. And BTD is definitely better than anything on Neighborhoods for sure

 

To me this song is easily at the same level as Feeling This maybe even tops it. The production, the melody, Mark and Matt singing, multi-instruments, Travis drumming, etc. - all in one it makes the song to be like a 'super hero' song from the whole blink catalogue.

 

Definitely. Would be amazing

 

Noooo way. As much as I like this new song, "Feeling This" is in another league entirely

 

Agreed no way this song tops Feeling This or most of the Untitled era songs. Still solid though just doesn't grab me as well as them songs.

 

You're a cool dad man!

 

I'm wondering why it said "Play 'California'" on their official site.

Could it be that we were about to get the whole album streaming because someone fucked up?

 

No.

 

anyone saying they can't tell the difference between mark and matt must be listening on their phone speakers. i was able to tell the difference right away. is it absolutely obvious? no, but it's there.

can't stop listening to the song though. even my wife, who isn't a blink fan, really liked it!

 

Didn't work out for me. No Tom's melodies is pretty sad, song is OK, not bad really, but not great, producing is not that great as well. Too much autotune in my opinion, too polished sound.

 

But I will wait for a full album.

 

There isn't any contrast anymore. I don't see the point in having 2 singers if they more or less sound the same lol
