Matt Skiba Responds To His Departure From Blink 182

[@RockFeed]

Do you want blink 182 to continue as a three-piece or would you want Skiba to perform live with them still?

[@titanfighter12]

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 :)

[@nick_7716]

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 👏🏼🎸

[@DragonDonut64]

[@phildimopoulos6010]

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.

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.

The formula works with 3, if they wanted to go Green Day with a full band backup they would've tried it ages ago. Even if they dual or triple layer guitars when they record, they just don't intend to break their dynamic being a trio or performing like it and even If it's about what they could sound if they add another guitar, they did that and it's called boxcar racer and +44.
