Blink literally created two of their biggest hits off a green day b side riff called jar

I came back to 18+ replies and thought something had happened but it's just one guy raving about a band this forum is not named after

If anybody would like to talk about the new Green Day - in that latest teaser the guitars are tuned down to Eb tuning so there's another similarity to 21st Century Breakdown (the song) 🤔. And everything pre Nimrod of course but I think the 21CB comparison is more apt given the sound of the thing

It depends on what somebody means by "wipe the floor with." If you're talking about strictly sales/fandom, you may have a point. If you are talking about actual quality of music, I'd put GD's largest pile of shit against Blink's best work ANY day of the fucking week.

The former I’m right for sure. The latter is subjective. I have a lot of love for what gds achieved. But everything after AI has been either mediocre (21cb and rev rad) to bad (trilogy) to downright awful (foam).

 

im more of a blink fan, but I think they’ve had more of an influence on everything that’s happened in pop punk (for better or worse) than gd has since enema. I think their fun albums of their heyday (enema and take off) are more fun than dookie, and I think their most innovative album (self titled, untitled whatever you wanna call it) was more creative and innovative than AI or 21cb. I think gd has been creatively facing existential dread and a big identity crisis since AI. It’s like they have no idea what to do anymore. It was both the best and worst thing to ever happen to the band. Hell, I like some songs off 21cb, but it always came off as a Diet Coke version of AI.

 

Green Day are far and away the more solid live band performance wise, but (from what I’ve experienced) I think that’s not everything. Blink shows are just more fun and full of character and more nostalgic euphoria. They’ve gotten a lot better performance wise this most recent tour, but still pale in comparison to gd in that regard. At least Tom and mark compared to Billie and Mike. Travis is an absolute BEAST both live and in the studio compared to tre. But yeah, as a whole, gd is the better performing live band for sure.

Not really. And ripping off other bands isn’t the first line of defense I’d go for gd. Arguably their most famous riff (AI) was ripped off note for note from Dillinger four. Even the opening to wake me up when September ends was ripped off from some independent band I can’t remember off the top of my head. Holiday too. And boulevard of broken dreams was ripped off from wonderwall. Hell the guitar solo for 21 guns was ripped off from the fucking full house theme song ffs 🤣

Like gd’s output since 21cb with few exceptions on rev rad. I WANT gd to blow me away again, but I just have doubts they’re capable anymore and have been creatively stumped on what direction to go since AI. I’d love to be wrong with this next one, but don’t think I will be. We’ll see.

Why don't you leave the forum if you're here just to hate the band?

I don’t hate them. I like a lot of their previous output and like I said would love to be wrong and blown away by their next album. But being a fan doesn’t mean you have to blindly suck their dicks and pretend turds are gems.

well based on the surrounding hype and rumors regarding the new album/music, we’re in for a treat

[Lindsay]

Hi all, let's please keep this on topic about the new album. If you want to argue or discuss past albums, please take it to PM.

I am a big critic too, but I just don't judge as a bad record something that is not out yet.

We have good teasers and that's it, no one knows how good or bad the album will be, but the teasers are promising

Is there a reason people are implying that the whole album has been heard by people here? Why would they have played the entire album for people when it's not coming out until 2024? They wouldn't want the album to leak like 3-4 months before it releases

Maybe they played ONE of multiple albums they recorded. Or they shared the original EP or a Tubbies album, a Network album they stole or something.   Or They teased part of the new album.

Billie farted during the secret event and everyone assumed they heard the whole record.

You're talking about Blink as if there's a shred of "blow me away" good music anywhere in their entire catalogue.
