Do you want blink 182 to continue as a three-piece or would you want Skiba to perform live with them still?
Bring Skiba in for a two guitar album or have him on the whole tour or have him just for a song
Anyway for him to be involved, especially if the relationship is still good between everybody...huge Alkaline Trio fan and his contribution to Blink grew on me :)
I think the trio should just stick to the trio. I think there's something calling to Matt that we are not aware of yet
@@krystenbeesley8319 something calling?
Skiba would be cool if they keep him but skiba is amazing at whatever he does so if he just does alkaline stuff or other stuff or helps with the blink stuff ill support and love him hes classy asf
What would be amazing is an Alkaline Blink tour where matt could join in on a few of his blink songs blink could cover help me 😅 alkaline could cover well anything cuz they are alkaline so that would be my dream scenario but im just happy all around for everyone involved really i do like alkaine more then blink if that wasnt obvious lol
This is the classiest band member change in history.
Word
I mean not telling Matt for months was a pretty trash move, but sure...super classy.
Killswitch engage going from Jesse to Howard and then back to Jesse is definitely the winner
Most definitely. I don’t see why they can do a tour/album with all of them. They would probably sound even better, knowing Matt covers some of Tom’s deficiencies, and vice versa
Sevendust addition/departure of Sonny was pretty smooth, too.
I wish they would have kept him on and just made it a 4 piece. Two guitars in blink would sound rad.
They secretly already do since the Enema's, they have a lot of multitracking recording that is missing on live, like they use prerecorded tracks but isn't the same as someone playing the extra guitars.
Ehhhhhh, only if one of them played rhythm. Even then it would sound weird
Sounds like a Blink 182 song.
What a classic act. These situations always have the potential to become dramatic, nice seeing people understand and have no I'll feelings.
Glad to see everyone's in good spirits with no hard feelings towards one another.I wish all of them the best for the future.Rock on guys.
MATT should tell blink to go to hell here
Matt Skiba is the real MVP for holding it down.
if only he sounded good singing the songs..good thing he gone
He sucked
@@ericshaw77083 you're crazy bro. Matt sounded GREAT!, on his songs. He didn't sound that great doing Tom's songs, but his register is very different than Tom's. Just like, it'd be funny to hear Tom try to sing Matt's songs
@@nogrecords right. People thinking he’s gonna duplicate what Tom did went with the wrong expectation. With Matt it’s just different songs that you can’t compare to the original with Tom.
@@ericshaw77083 I mean Tom can’t sing live either so I guess he fit well
I feel like matt is that good step parent who does there best to be there for us. While tom is that cool parent who comes back now and then just to leave us again with empty promises.
😂
Good analogy!
Wait he left us again ?
@@jessicaschoonmaker2073 he will
A fan who can think for themselves. Finally
Wouldn't expect anything less from Matt but a classy response. It's pretty sad all the Blink fans who have treated him like sh!t while he was in the band. he did a great job. Obviously he knew Tom would be back sooner or later.
I didn’t particularly enjoy the music they made with Matt but I appreciate him taking the spot so the band didn’t completely disband also bear down
I agree. And I LOVE Tom so much but this all felt ignorant towards Matt imo. I hope he doesn’t feel that way but thankfully he’s talented and can move forward and yay for Blink to be back again!
@@montsergirl I am also a big fan of Alkaline Trio. He can now focus all of his energy on that, so it's good for both bands. Matt did as good of a job as anyone could do being thrust into the situation of being Tom's stand in.
@mysticstrider Yes, I think they have new material in the works as well.
I go back to the Dude Ranch days and I have absolutely loved having Matt in the band. Shame that people can't look beyond their nostalgia...
My best friend Josh was alkaline trios tour manager for a while. He sadly passed away about 10 years ago. It was surreal seeing them at the funeral. Great dudes. RIP Josh, miss ya brother.
I think the least blink could have done was take Alkaline Trio out on a major arena tour with them. I’m curious to see what they do about the last two albums live. Will Tom sing Matt’s parts or will we ever hear those songs live again?
Yes that would have been classy. Let them make good money as a thank you.
WE WILL NEVER HEAR THOSE AWFUL SONGS AGAIN! THX
I don't think Tom will sing Matts songs.
Sad to never hear San Diego or No Heart To Soeak of again. Loved those songs.
@@tbolt720 San Diego is about Tom so that would be weird af
Matt contributed to two incredible Blink albums and I’ll be forever thankful to him for that. You’ll be missed Matt!
NINE is honestly one of their best albums ever
@@IDiggPattyMayonnaise fr though
nahh
One was good, the other was atrocious (*cough* NINE *cough* *cough*).
@@redheadsg1 Idk what you mean, Nine was really good.
I feel bad for Matt because he did a beautiful job when Tom left the band. I think he deserves Blink doing a tour with his band or at least a video (Blink 182 Ft. Matt) as a thank you.
blink 182 ft matt skiba that's right
Matt Skiba wow what a class act! Mad respect!
Matt Skiba really deserves a ton of credit for saving Blink-182 by keeping them relevant over the past few years. Say what you want about "NINE," but "California" was WAY better than anyone expected, just full of classic SoCal bangers, I absolutely loved it and it's one of my favorite albums to date. He was great with them live too, I saw them in Jax and I'll take Matt's performance then over whatever the hell Tom was doing with his vocals near the end of the "Neighborhoods" era. DeLonge is an OG and it's good to have him back, but I really wish they would of continued as a four-piece so it would be less awkward playing songs from the last two records (plus two guitars would be rad). I hope the "California" era isn't ever forgotten.
Thank you Mr. Skiba 👏🏼🎸
I’d be surprised if they sang Bored to Death with Tom back in the band
Last 2 albums were balls who’s kidding who. Over-produced garbage, barely classic SoCal. I’m not trying to be all pretentious either, I actually liked Neighbourhoods. But the songwriting without Tom is just so basic, then add in John Feldmann producing and it’s just.. no.
The worst albums blink ever put out lmao
@@RichLclopps False. That would be Neighbourhoods LMAO
@@jameswallace5235 neighborhoods wasthe last good album blink ever put out, a great album too. what is wrong with you kids? Nine and California are terrible lmao its all a bunch of mainstream sounding pop music. Goes to show how much you know about music and your terrible taste. Now that skibba is gone the knew album with automatically be better than nine and California as well
I just listened to California in full & damn it's a solid album. I have to check out nine now but Matt skiba did A great job
You've been missing out
Nine is incredible.
nine is a masterpiece
I was very, very skeptical about a Blink album without Tom, but I truly enjoyed "California" and I'm glad Matt stepped in and saved the day. A true class act from beginning to end.
skiba had a good paycheck from blink, made a kick ass album with mark and travis. Helped kept blink relevant by recently touring under the name, and now he can go back to focus on his own band now. no one lost here❤️
One album? Lol They wrote almost 50 songs together!
@@sidvicious332 nothing is ever good enough huh? you couldn’t tell by the tone of the post what i was trying to say😆
What’s his original band?
@@drested1793 alkaline trio
@@drested1793 hope you’re joking
Matt has always been a beautiful person.❤️
3 months later... Matt Skiba is joining Blink 182 after Tom quits again
hey ,..actually ,, it ain't all that far fetched
Matt's powerful vocal in the albums wont be forgotten
I want a collab with Matt and Blink 182 one day!! That would be epic
I'd rather they kept Matt damn
@@dsxa918 Only you in the whole world
@@Aspirador_de_Almeida no, just Alkaline fans.
we had that the last 5 years 🤷♂️😄
@@dsxa918 ME SAME but as a 4-Piece
I hope he shows up for a song along the way, or maybe a feature down the road
Love that it's all love though, that's awesome
I’m going to miss Matt.
same brother it truly hurts, I want him and Tom to ALWAYS be together in Blink IF that were to happen, fingers crossed
His Heart belongs to Alkaline Trio.
@@Drewkungfoo Tom and Matt are both class so I’m happy this was a smooth transition
Both of them are the voices inside my yead
Skiba did an amazing job in Blink 182..but having Tom come back and the old lineup making new music again is just amazing!
*middle lineup*
It's not the old lineup lol
Their original drummer made it an actual skate punk band
Yeah, I just hope that they continue expanding on the sound they rediscovered in "Edging." I hated Neighborhoods and I never followed Tom in AVA, it is not my style whatsoever. I don't need exact replicas of their earlier records to be happy, but would love less AVA-style influence in their next album.
@@eatassonthefirstdate TRUTH this band is like a boy band that got put together in a way, I don't know why people don't see it
Skiba sacrificed his own band and name by being in Blink, as a long time Alkaline Trio fan I don't look at Skiba the same at all, it started back when he did Heavens which was a cool lil side project, but then he did Matt Skiba and the SeKrets which was with Wes Borland, Alkaline albums seemed to be regurgitated chord structures with similar lyrics My shame is true was good for a couple dimes but that's about it... Hope he starts writing again
Matt was the hero we needed
I refused to listen to the two albums without Tom because i couldnt bring myself to accept the change.
But i've started listening to them and there's some really awesome songs on them. Especially No Heart To Speak Of. Matt really did some great stuff in Blink.
This all went about as good as it possibly could, super professional guys all around.
Thanks Matt! Your time was short lived with the band, but your contributions and the music you helped put out with blink was great!
I'll never forget how nice Matt was signing autographs at the warped tour back in the day. The line was so long and he just came out before he even played to hang out with fans and a huge line just formed out of nowhere and he stayed forever saying Hi and signing concert tickets. Nice guy.
😊 😊 😊. You m
I’m just
Wish he was atleast a touring member. He held it down for us fans.
Thank you Matt for keeping the band alive! His albums were great. I really wish they could keep him on and stay a 4-piece with vocal harmonies, but I'm glad it seems to be an amicable situation.
I hope the new album has a couple of songs with MARK, TOM, and MATT on the vocals. It would sound amazing!
Well in the new song they’re both trading off vocals so yeah most likely
@@rossmusic25 That's Tom and Mark, not Tom and Matt.
@@nate-ds9tg oh no yeah right I’m sorry. I’m tired, I’ve been at work like all day lol. Yeah no I meant Tom and Mark. They have vocal trade-offs on the new song that came out so I’m assuming there’s gonna be more songs like that on the album where they do that.
Lol you guys I know who is singing on the new song lol Tom and Mark obviously. I was saying a blink song with Tom, Matt, and Mark on vocals...
@@RandomActsofAnimation Yeah I doubt that’s gonna happen
I'm not the biggest Blink fan but it's refreshing to see musicians acting with so much love and respect for each other during this changeover.
That's how you took it?
@@Valeo1993 why, are we meant to see it another way?
@@EeyoreNeedsProzac yeah it was all p.r. and a giant dig in Matt's face
nope
@@Valeo1993Sure, kid. Everything is drama and face spitting. Typical Kardashian fan shit.
Thank you for reporting and keeping me updated on the best and newest going-ons that matter to me. 🙌🙏🙌
Thank you for watching. Truly appreciate it!!!!!
Bottom line is he made two great albums with Blink, toured the world and kept Blink relevant.
They made 2 albums with Alkaline 182?
I don't know...
I still think it's pretty damn ignorant of Mark and Travis for remaining publicly silent in regards to Skiba's departure.
As mentioned in this video, Skiba was unaware of what was going on with the band as recently as July, and by the sound of Skiba's response to Tom coming back, something tells me that they never settled/discussed this with Skiba behind closed doors, which is shady as hell in my opinion.
The California album is the 2nd best of Blink!! Great job Matty!!!! Awesome stuff bro. My best choice is neighborhoods still ❤
He handled that like a true star.
I'm sure Matt knew from day 1 that Tom would eventually come back and accepted his fate. He's in another great successful band so I'm sure he knows Blink isn't his band and is just thankful to be a part of them. I was reluctant at first but i grew to accept and respect matt more for keeping blink in the running, thank you Matt and welcome back my boi Tom! ❤
It's cool to see two guys handle things nicely. I really hope it was chill and that Matt's happy to see their new successes.
Tom coming back to Blink-182 is awesome but it killed my dream of the band being 4 members. Hopefully they'll reunite with Matt someday for more music, and if they do they better not title the song or songs as "featuring Matt Skiba" because that would destroy all the respect that Tom gave to Matt with the letter he wrote/posted...
Josh klinghoffer said “don’t say a word. I know exactly how you feel”
Klinghoffer getting replaced with frusciante was annoying both albums with Klinghoffer sounded like rhcp was going back to its root little by little by having much more punkier type of music with amazing funkier bass lines the last album they have just done last year was really bad for rhcp it wasn't as good as the getaway and everything before it and that really sucks
@@slapbass8723 what did you think of the new one that released earlier this week
Funfact: Tom Delonge full name is Thomas Matthew Delonge, while Matt Skiba full name is Matthew Thomas Skiba.
Those ticket prices are crazy and I get times are tough and everything is high right now, but dang..not what I expected.
It’s sad, I wanted to see them on this tour but maybe next go around I can.
I've just seen My Chemical Romance and the pre-sale tickets were outrageously expensive. It was great, but I hate it when the tickets are that pricey. Not fair to young kids who don't have a job.
I saw MCR too and the presale tickets were half what blink tickets cost! It’s crazy the “cheap seats” are 350$+ for blink,MCR was like 120$
This is lovely ❤
Matt was the definition of a pinch hitter who stepped up under pressure and delivered big, big time. Loved him in alkaline trio, loved his time with blink, and blessings for his future projects man
I’m so excited that I got my pre sale tickets, I can’t wait to see them back together again!
They should keep Matt in the band but I’m sure they wouldn’t want to split the loot. Tom ran out of money so he’s back to refill the bank account so he can go chase aliens.
Ticket prices are crazy
Hopefully they're cheaper for the general sale
I hope they occasionally feature Matt on some songs just for some extra dynamics.
I thought it was super awesome that Mark and Travis thought of Skiba when they were looking for someone to play in Blink. (Im assuming it was Mark and Travis idea to ask Matt) lol.. I like Blink but I like Alkaline Trio more than Blink.. It's awesome that after so many years and different projects Tom is back playing with Mark and Travis!! I'm also super pumped that Matt is back full time with Alkaline Trio and I can't wait for new music from those guys!! What a unbelievable experience and opportunity for Matt to play with Blink but me personally I think Matt's style fits so much better in A.T.. Hopefully A.T. will gain a ton of new fans who may not know about them because of Matt's time Playing with Blink 182. Also it's so awesome the respect shown from both Tom and Matt.. 🤘
Matt was an excellent addition to blink, his vocals seriously fit blinks sound I think.
Class act, Matt. You have a new fan here.
It'd be cool if Matt was a guest sometime during the tour 🤘
California is such a good album given the circumstances. I truly love the entire track listing. Skiba can be proud of that one.
skiba needs to tell this band to go to hell
Good for Blink and good for Matt. This had to happen eventually.
THANK YOU MATT SKIBA!
Matt Skiba - thank you for keeping blink going and the music you made with Mark & Travis!!
I’d like to hear some Blink tracks with Skiba and Delonge!
(Hoppus and Barker included of course!)
we desever this as blink fans
I’m happy they are back together as the band I grow up listening to as a young kid. Got to say thanks to Matt for helping Blink continue there music an keeping them going during the time Tom was gone. Now what’s got me is I wanted to finally get to see the band in Boston next year. But it will once again be delayed due to prices of ticket that are not even floor seat they are $300 for one ticket up higher than floor . Dream was crushed when I seen this on the website. Hope one day I’ll be able to see you live-Blink Rules
Nice to hear that there's no bad blood, really happy about this!
Rockfeed- this is great content dude. I think Rock needs this comradery right now. Who knows maybe I’ll even give the Pantera thing a break lol. Much love to all that work hard playing and making music 🎸🇺🇸
It would be nice having Matt as a touring member TBH
Alkaline Trio and Blink-182 should do a split ep where Blink covers 3 or so A3 songs and vice versa.
I was a big fan of Alkaline Trio and blink back in the day! Awesome guys
I LOVE Matt. California is by far one of my favourite albums ever and his contribution in it is so important. I had the chance to see him with blink in concert and it was great! Matt will always be a blink member to me :)
California Deluxe is under appreciated... Purists hate it but I love it.
Man I would have loved a four man blink 182. Matt gave a very interesting and different flavor to the band.
So glad to see both sides getting along or at least appearing to during this transition. I like both Matt & Tom and am happy to see there isn't any tension between them or Mark & Travis either. Hopefully Matt got some sort of buy out or settlement as well. He deserves it.
THANKS!
Green Day started out as a 3 piece band, but for quite a long time that have had a another guitar player on stage all the time. The guys in Blink should do the same thing with Matt. Jimi Hendrix started out as a 3 piece band in 1966 and when he played at Woodstock in 1969 there were 6 people in the band. Adding Matt in the mix will allow Tom to take the guitar off and goof around like Billie does in Green Day.
Good stuff, this is heartwarming!
I won't be surprised if Tom leaves again in a few years and Matt comes back. I hope I'm wrong, but this feels exactly like how Tom came back after Travis's plane accident. I'm super excited like everyone else for the reunion either way.
I hope Matt makes a couple surprise appearances on tour
I think its time for Blink to play as a 4 Member Group! He's a good soul and an album with all those influences would be very interesting
Thank god that didn't end in a bad note. I'm glad because I love Alkaline Trio and Blink-182. I'm sure maybe someday they'll collaborate all together.
Skiba is a punk rock legend. All legends!
They played 'Bored to Death' on tour this week, my theory is they're keeping it in the set so Skiba receives royalties as a 'no hard feelings/peace offering'
Straight class from Matt right there!!! I saw Blink with Matt and he was awesome!
About time. So glad to have the poet of blink back
What a class act from Matt!
“Blink is in my DNA,”
“I talk to Travis quite a bit and we try and figure out how and when it’s going to make sense.
“It’s not like I (permanently) walked away. They have someone doing my job for me (in blink). It’s just that I’m so busy. If I wanted to, I could be back (in blink) in a period of days.”
“I still own the band,”
Tom DeLonge (2017)
such a jerk
Yea Alkaline trio is his calling. That's his band. He's a front man not a Sidekick. Kudos Matt!
imagine having tom stay for real now... and imagine having tom AND matt in blink... yeah yeah 3 piece blabla, but after 30 years that would be fresh.
Matt has always been a cool guy. Now, as someone who uploaded one of those crappy song + album art videos for an old Alkaline Trio song like 14 years ago or whatever, I hope to hear more from them in the next year too if possible.
I am an old school Blink-182 fan since dude ranch but there were some great songs on both the records skiba was a part of. I hope they still play some of those songs. I am pretty sure Matt knew that this day would happen. It would be cool to see the 4 of them to unite for a shoe at any given point in time.
I am going to miss Matt Skiba with all my heart is because he did a beautiful job when Tom left the band. I think he deserves a tour with blink -182 or a tour with his band Blink - 182 and feat Alkaline trio and matt skiba has shown respect class act. You will be missed Matt Skiba.
AND IS BETTER THAN OR! Make Blink a 4 piece! That would be killer!
Glad to see that Matt isn't Sour about Tom Coming back and very happy for them instead of being mad about him coming back Matt seems to be a very awesome person
I’ve seen Blink 182 live a few times and always thought they were lacking something (a second guitarist). It would make sense to keep him at least on tour. It’ll give Blink a more full bodied sound and they’ll be able to play songs off the last couple albums they recorded with Skiba.
Or just pick a good guitar player who is more on travis level of instrument playing. Matt should do his Alkaline Trio. I think thats his best work so far.
I was so afraid that there would be drama that would impact how I see Blink-182 that I almost ignored the video, but I'm so happy it's all wholesome!
Class act by Matt. He was a great part of Blink and I enjoyed the 2 albums he worked on. I hope he gets Alkaline Trio back on the road, because they're a great band and I'd probably be able to afford to go to that one, unlike the Blink show! I've been a fan of Blink since 1998, never seen them live. Still have my unused ticket from the 2001 UK tour that got cancelled. Since then, studies, career, family and finances have never allowed me to see them. Was so excited by the reunion and tour announcement, but i have been well and truly priced out of going. I used to go to so many concerts back in the early 2000's and saw some huge bands like Chili Pappers and Foo Fighters in their prime for £15-20 a ticket. These days even the smaller bands charge £60 a ticket, and if you want to see Blink? Be prepared to pay £150..... Kids these days will never enjoy the experience I had in my teens going to 3 or 4 shows a week and discovering new bands
I hope we still get songs that sound like the nine album, I don’t want that to go away.
Blink 182 wasn’t blink 182 without Tom how am I the only one who can see that
It would be great if Matt suddenly shows up in any of Blink-182 shows next year
I loved Matt, I grew up on enima of the state but nine was probably my favorite album blink has done. He will be missed in blink but happy Tom found his way home
Matt Skiba's a damn classy man. Alkaline Trio was one of my first introductions to pop punk and punk rock, as was blink, so it's great seeing them end on such good terms.
Matt legit brought the band back into the spotlight. California is soooo freaking amazing
I would love to see Matt Skiba perform with them again as a touring member or even a guest member.
Hopefully we still get more alkaline trio material. All of these people have been incredibly classy and you can tell that they’re all friends. It’s really good to see.
