What do you think would of happened with Blink if they kept Scott as there drummer?

B 12-08-2005 08:30 PM

They would have stayed more "oldschool" pop-punkish. Maybe not that much because Tom had a lot of influence in their change of sound, but I still think Scott would have kept their original sound a little more.

There is a article in this months blunt about blink if you live in aus, go buy it.

After Travis joined there songs varied a bit more.

Same-ish, but awesome :) Saying that, I still prefer the Dude Ranch-Enema-Take Off threesome that defined blink82 to anything else they have written (Self titled, and Buddha and all before).

As for the supposed re-uniting of blink... sounds good. I wouldn't say I was jumping around with excitement, but they put on a good show :D

How long have you been playing bass for?

poprocks&coke 12-09-2005 04:38 AM

About a year.

I kinda suck.

How long did it take you? I'm not exactly a good bassist, but that's a real easy song. Just read the notes pretty much.

Bad Blood 12-09-2005 01:19 PM

I don't really see why everyone like Carousel so much.

Ok, it's a good song, but it's not amazinngly brilliant is it?

I like it because of the drums, i dont know why but i agree it is not an amazing song, although the MTTS version kicked ***

Bad Blood 12-09-2005 01:38 PM

Yeah, that's very true.

It's the best version of it imo.

16 Nipples 12-09-2005 01:38 PM

Yeah both album versions werent that good, but the MTATS was class

About 20 mins to perfect it. It is pretty easy. I've done harder stuff. I'm not a master at bass or anything, though.

The guitar parts in it are pretty cool, even if they're not extremely hard. Bass line at the start is fun to play aswell.

What happened, you get banned?

Today in class, me and my friend were talking about bands, and we got onto blink. We started talking about how easy the songs were to play, and we were singing a bit of What's My Age Again? :cool:

:( Indeed I did. Me and my friend might be recording the guitar parts to Stay Together For The Kids at his place tomorrow..depending on whether or not it works out I might upload it for you guys to hear. We did some pretty cool stuff to the already awesome bridge. Once we get the guitar sorted out I'm gonna come back to my place and do the drumming. :thumb:

It's a lot harder than that for more advanced songs. You have to work on speed, finger placement, how hard you hold down the string, And for bassists especially you have to exercise your pinky, Some of the thick strings get hard to hold down. And if theres any popping or slapping at all you have to change your hand to a new position in relatively no time.

For most songs that aren't at a beginner level, it is much more than just reading the notes. 20-30 minutes is probably all it should take for a song at a beginner/intermediate level like carousel.

Hey, Four days left until a AVA song!

It's 3 here..lol. And yeah it does take a bit more effort than just looking at the notes, but I think he was saying that was the main part to it, or at least something that if you took away you wouldn't be able to play the song. :thumb:

Haha, I enjoy some of the humor from MTTS. At times all of it seems extremely immature, but if I'm in the mood for a good laugh or something I'll listen to it.

Mute Print 12-09-2005 10:32 PM

There's no question it's immature, but that was one of the things that made blink-182 so great. :p

:eek:! What do you mean [B]WAS[/B] they still are great! And always will be, until they start to suck. When that time arrives I'll destroy all trace that I ever even knew who Blink 182 was. :rolleyes:
