blink-182 - One More Time… (October 20, 2023) • Page 198

182 stands for the amount of secret songwriters they've had since the very beginning, bunch of fake fans in here

 

Out of interest, do any other similar bands at this level (or a tier below) use outside songwriters like this?

 

Nope, blink are the only ones in the industry to do it, believe it or not.

 

No trap beats! No Swedish songwriters! Just PURE, UNC*T….. oops wrong band

 

I'm very curious what Tim Armstrong contributed to get a co-writing credit on a 27-second 'song' (Fuck Face).

 

Him and Travis wrote it for Travis's hardcore project and they wanted to use it for blink

 

Go look how many co-writers are on Ed Sheeran’s Shape Of You considering his whole schtick is he’s a muppet with an acoustic guitar

 

Shut up
You talk too much, you talk too much, you talk too much
Shut up
You talk too much, you talk too much, you talk too much

Shut up
You talk too much, you talk too much, you talk too much
Shut up
You talk too much, you talk too much, you talk too fucking much

 

Liam Gallagher

 

Wonder if the numbers on the joke songs will convince the band to drop them again next album.

 

I'd argue that Blink only used 7 outside co-writers on this new album.

Nick Long (Dance With Me, Fell In Love, Edging)
Ryan Tedder (Fell In Love, Cut Me Off)
Andrew Goldstein (One More Time, Cut Me Off, See You)
Brian Lee (Turn This Off, When We Were Young, Childhood)
Dan Book (Edging)
Michael Pollack (You Don't Know What You've Got)
Aldae (One More Time, See You)

Tim Armstrong and Travis wrote "Fuck Face" together for a separate project, originally, so that's a different scenario.

Aaron Rubin co-produced the album, so it makes sense that he'd have a co-writing credit since I'm sure he suggested Tom try different guitar chords here and there, etc.

Robert Smith didn't sit in the room and help them write "Fall In Love." Travis decided to sample a Cure song, so they gave Robert credit for that, even though Robert told Travis that he didn't need to.

 

The numbers are low because Spotify only tracks plays longer than 30 seconds. Both joke songs are less than that, so technically it's not keeping track. Those low numbers are for instances where people paused and rewind the song through the playthrough.

 

I did not know that, thank you. I still hope they drop them regardless as I think they're weak, but it's maybe not as bad as I thought.

 

Turn This Off! is so good though.

 

I enjoy both of the joke songs. They're at least miles better than "Brohemian Rhapsody" and "I Can't Get You More Pregnant"

 

If All Time Low counts, I just looked and they apparently used 9 co-writers on their latest album.

 

I Can't Get You More Pregnant would get a Twitter Community Note if it was released today and that thought amuses me.

 

unreal that this song has 27 co-writers.

 

Which is the same amount of words in the first paragraph, can you believe it?

 

Why does this look like Ilan Rubin

 

Maybe it’s just me but I never listened to a song and decided whether or not I liked it based on who/how many people wrote it.

 

OMG wow that's insane, you're crazy

 

I don't blame Robert Smith for asking not to be credited on Fell In Love lolol

 

Feel bad, I completely stopped listening to the new Menzingers and still haven't checked out new Gaslight but all I want to listen to is new blink!
