Blink 182 Discussion Thread

It's alright but not as good as UAN, but the drumming is awesome.

[Gutter Dreams]

Yeah, I prefer UAN to this new song... I am somewhat disappointed myself =/

erghfjkrieoif thank you. I'm honestly, sort of afraid to go over on 182o because they all love the song

[Tyler.]

The drumming is fucking nuts though, the outro is intense. But otherwise I'm not as bigger fan

[Jeremy Kill]

Yeah, I think I actually prefer Up All Night over this song. Aside from the drumming, it comes off as really plain/empty to me.

[Gutter Dreams]

whew, I'm glad I am not alone.

[Tyler.]

It feels like one of those songs you need on an album though, quick and catchy sorta chorus. The drums are great as well. It's just not something I'll listen to a shitload like UAN, but it's needed when you listen as a whole album, cos I'm thinking most Tom songs won't be quick and punky like this.

This sounds like old Blink, what's the problem?

I dunno, I like the big change. Didn't really want the album to sound like old blink. It's a good song though.

Travis barker is a shitty drummer, he sounds like a fucking robot. there is no dynamics with any of his patterns, everything is precise and the same velocity. you could replace him with a drum machine and no one would tell the difference.

I personally think this sounds more like Plus 44 because there is little to no Tom on this song =/

Are you serious or just trolling?

im serious. i couldn't hold it in any longer, i fucking hate him.

he has skill, but he is FAR overrated as a drummer for coming up with patterns and drum parts with variance. they're all the same and sound terribly robotic. i could program in a retarded sounding drum pattern in to Logic at 170 bpm and it would sound like travis barker.

and the fans who think he's hot shit are even worse. but they aren't as bad as those "metalcore" dumb asses who think blast beats are cool. fuck that shit.

I respect blink 182 as people and as musicians, but they are far overrated for talent, all three of them.

why are they popular?
A: because it's fast, simple and fun music meant for people who just wanna hear music that doesn't make them think.

that all being said, i still listen to blink 182 and a few of their songs are good. but i just can't listen to them a whole lot without think about how annoying the drums are, how boring the lyrics are, how weird the guitar riffs are and how unimaginative the bass lines are.

RANT OVER.

-wow, that was more than i thought i'd write...

[Tyler.]

^ You definitely haven't listened to much blink.

[sumfan4]

^you really know how to cut to the core

I like Hearts All Gone. It reminds me of their earlier stuff. Wonder if they'll play it on the HCT?

They said they would play 3-4 new songs on this tour, so yes.

Ah, thankyou for that info! I'm even more excited now for my date of the HCT.

Yeah and Tom's guitar tech said the new songs were sounding sweet live at rehearsals so they've been practicing more than one at least.

Also two other song titles are registered as sites by the same person as heartsallgone.com. They're ghostonthedancefloor.com and evenifshefalls.com. So we can probably expect another song maybe even before the first show tomorrow.

I think it's better than up all night. And the drums sound awesome. I like it.

[Bobbyjames]

meh. I prefer it to Up All Night, but it's still lacking something that made the last album so great. next song please.
