Hey I appreciate Matt for what he's done, never gave him shit, he was the only option to fill in let's be real. Thanks Matt.
Seriously why do t they just take Alkaline Trio on tour with them an have Matt jump in on a couple songs. Id jam to that
I kinda disagree with your take on this. I think Blink handled Tom’s return and Matt’s exit extremely poorly and this was an attempt to save face.
Matt should have known his status in the band and they should have worked an exit strategy long before any of this became public.
Just my own thoughts though.
Am I the only one that wished they Matt stayed, but they also brought Tom back so that they were a 4 piece? They could've made some really great music together.
Ok can we all stop pretending Blink was anywhere near as good with Matt as they are with Tom? I get it, he left in a less than ideal way. But to pretend that he can hold a candle to Tom (for blinks sound) is just laughable. Toms back and everything is as it should be.
ADDING AS AN EXTRA MEMBER
I'm a Matt Skiba & Alkaline Trio fan, so I was like why is there no thanks bro!!!! Glad Tom did because I seen nothing on Mark's page.
Keep Matt! Twin guitar attack!! A whole new sound for Blink!!
Didn't Matt throw shade on Tom multiple times while he was in Blink? Good to see Tom is the bigger man and tipped his hat to Matt. Now that the real Blink is back, that's all that matters.
The Last 2 Albums wastn good -without Toms comeback i think the retirement was in line …
Why not bring matt along to play his songs?..
Don’t get me wrong I love the idea of hearing classic blink, but only if Tom can leave his angels and airwaves style of singing with Angels and airwaves. It kind of pisses me off that Tom keeps doing this. I’m not a fan of the seesaw game of being in or out. Make up your damn mind.
Rock fellars, nobody hospitalized on their first tour save the money for a real accident.
fuck blink – this is not cool , why they bailing on matt like this??
I think it would make sense for matt to continue working with them, even just for live. When they play songs live from the matt era, how else would that work? Tom singing matt's parts?
FUCK BLINK !!! W T F IS THIS SHIT ?? THEY ARE KICKING OUT MATT ?? FOR WHAT ???
That would be a good idea if he toured with them and fill out their live sound.
Blink-182's studio albums have so many parts with two guitars playing at once, so a second guitarist on stage could totally enhance their live performance.
Wow, I saw them in Ft.Worth, Tx in 94'/95', I think they opened for Joykiller. Anyways, they are now complete with Tom back in. Skiba, is better off with Alkaline Trio, i love his voice with the dark drive and heavier Naked Raygun sound than I did with Blink. He did a stand up job filling in but I like him better in Trio.
Thanks matt for taking all the assholes giving you shit like a Man when your music Is awesome!
Love Matt Skiba! Alkaline trio forever! Happy for Blink
I highly doubt Skiba wants to be a tag along, he is most likely going to work on an alkaline trio album and tour.
Rumors are obviously just rumors but there’s one going around that they might have Scott Raynor come out and play a song or two at their show in San Diego next year. Probably not true but holy shit that would be awesome!
Blink as a 4 piece would be killer! Don't know why it has to be either/or? They all bring in special talent.
Matt Skiba simply as a touring member would be a giant insult to Matt, the same man who gave us Alkaline Trio. Who make much better music IMO. Love some Blink songs, but always have preferred Alkaline Trio. And I hope this means we will now get more Alkaline Trio music
Matt had so many pluses. Matt stepped up to the plate for the band when Tom (an original member) wouldn’t. Fans were acting like desperate exes when Tom left, only wanting him back and not embracing the joining of another really talented punk artist. Some of the songs blink did on the two albums with Matt were some of blink’s best, and possibly all of it better than the Neighborhoods album. Cool that Tom is back, but I’m thankful for Matt. Those are some of Blink’s best moments
