Quote:I loved their old stuff, but their new stuff was not very good.  I agree with your comment about Tom though....I saw some shows of them playing live in the later years and it just looked like he had no passion.

 

I heard their new song and it just didn't do much for me.  It was a bit too slow for my liking.

Ironically, some of the 'hardcore' fans are aggitated at Matt Skiba being in the band as it's not the 'original' line up. I'm assuming they never liked anything with Travis in the band then? I loved Buddah, Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch, but they became a better band with the implementation of Travis Barker.

Quote:I'm still a Blink fan and I'm excited to hear what Matt Skiba brings to the band. I also plan on seeing them live when they head down here in August. The one and only time I saw them live before was back in 2002, the Pop Disaster Tour with Green Day and Jimmy Eat World. I was in 8th grade. lol

 

Also, I saw Korn live at Mayhem Festival back in 2010 and I thought they sounded pretty good. It was my first time seeing them.

I agree with this. I think their latest track is very good. I have high hopes for the new record.

 

I saw them in about 2012, that was about the 3rd time I'd seen them, but Tom was almost taking it all too seriously, that's not what Blink-182 are about.. Green Day and Jimmy Eat World, I've seen both of those bands in the last 4-5 years.. they never fail to impress with how good they are live!
