Can't help but laugh at all the people who are unfamiliar with Matt Skiba and/or Alkaline Trio. They act as though he or his music didn't shape the artists or do anything the community they grew up listening to.
Timothy seriously, my generation grew up with blink (pre self-titled) and alkaline trio side by side. I have a hard time understanding how someone is into blink enough to end up here because of it, but have never heard of skiba or alkaline trio.
If you're just coming across Matt Skiba / Alkaline Trio I'll recommend a few songs: Jaked on Green Beers, While You're Waiting, Trucks and Trains, You're Dead, Dead End Road, Love Love Kiss Kiss, In Your Wake, Bloodied Up, This Could Be Love, Radio, Private Eye, San Francisco, This is Getting Over You, Stupid Kid, My Little Needle, Continental. I personally love pretty much every song made by them 2003 or earlier, so those CDs are all great. There are good songs after that point, but I don't personally like every single song.
@@topramen1694 Mr. Lahey, did you know that there is spiritual wickedness in high places? Why do they want to get the tree of life without going through Jesus? Do they want to be like the most high? Did you know that Babel was the name of the first place where man tried to reach heaven by using their own efforts? Later in the bible it is revealed that Babylon is not gone and that it will exist until God himself destroys it. All the same old idols of ancient times are all over Washington DC, weird occult imagery everywhere you go there, even an obelisk! I have some good news for you though Mr. Lahey. You don't have to worry about what the workers of iniquity are doing, you can have guaranteed eternal life that you can never lose. The kingdom of heaven has come to you and I will link you to a gospel presentation where if you hear it and believe it, you will have eternal life and never see the second death, which is the lake of fire. Hear and believe: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-WDEBz25lGdY.html
I didn't know who Matt Skiba was until it was announced that he'd be joining Blink-182 and I can't believe I didn't listen to any of his music prior because it's so good. His lyrics are amazing and it really shows in this song. I love this acoustic version with the female singer a lot.
His enthusiasm at the one minute mark is so sweet, and adorable. It breaks my heart to see someone with so much talent, and potential waste it on drugs, booze, and people that enable it.
You realize he quite literally IS 1/3rd of the band right? Shame should be on feldman imo, the producer that makes everything sound the same. Look at "Can't Get You More Pregnant" vs "A Million Miles" by Goldfinger, Feldmans band.
I agree with all the comments. Skiba is awesome. But he needs to get away from Blink. Or they need to get away from Feldman. Those two albums they made were beyond terrible. Alkaline Trio released an album in 2018 and its a hundred times better than those last two albums by Blink.
Fucking loved the first Sekrets record. Haven't had a chance to full listen to the newest one, but always been a fan. It's fun and creative and still catchy music. Can't beat that
hahaha when Matt does the babylon echo lol Hunters stache is outrageous. Matt I think you look beautiful in makeup my wife Nikki Nine and I are cheering you on You rock so HARD!
I can see him in blink and them making more music. I'm actually pretty stoked for this, I predict that if he is part of blink officially he'll be background vocals while Mark is doing all the singing for new songs.
Trio is in my top 5. Matt is one of the best song writer's of the 90/2000's. I wish i knew the blondes name, not only is she beautiful but she has a lovely voice. I wish trio would find a track or two for her. Tho if they did it wouldn't be a trio. But man she's a talent
I honestly had never heard of Matt Skiba and didn't know what he sounded like until I find out he was replacing Tom and I looked him up. This was the first video I saw of him singing and after hearing it I'm really excited for what's to come with Blink-182.
Reading haters' comment on Matt skiba, I can see that some of you actually don't even fucking know who the hell matt Skiba is. And I doubt some of you ever listened to Alkaline trio songs. Matt skiba is a decent musician. You should listen to the "Stupid kid" or " She lied to the FBI" before giving a bad score to Matt.
If you like Blink, just listen to the albums Goddammit, Alkaline Trio, Maybe I'll Catch Fire, Good Mourning. If you don't make all the way to the last 3 tracks on Good Mourning (Blue in the Face, Dead End Road, Old School Reasons) and like it the problem is you.
Wes: let's do this together! Skiba: we're wearing make up, right? Wes: woohoo! Skiba: will you be wearing your make up though? Wes: say no more! Skiba (*shows up in make up): YOU MOTHERFU-
i remember browning out at some festival and coming to at the start of an fftl set and wes fuckin borland was lookin down at me in full makeup on guitar. good times. i think
Now I just saw the videos after an entire decade. Love Babylon and their love of the genre and a very good line up. Hunter and my chem drummer plus skiba is a super band....... Blink now too short of a. Yard of guessing he's going to be in the band and puts a lot of people in omg shit mode but I love all Matt's work. From McHenry and I am not sure what took me five years to learn that but side of the millennial release FHTI was my first thing I got and they replaced AFI as my number one post punk rock band which hunter just got a lot of sweetness here in the sekrets .... Great with this first CD being a laveyan satanist myself be myself here to finish Babylon is gunner down the fucking Christians does honesty and reasoning and logic Fuckin learn to question all we are taught here and what is really going on..... His luciferian blues end of joy voices an inspiration for me. Over and over loved so much I listen. theHELLs great job too but harder. This band was like a dream. Second round of them was good but more lovey Dovey less than the demos and satanic vibes. But she said it's a hella good song and the single and three or four or five more and it's good but not like this Babylon omg 5 stars regardless then my shame and the hell OMG and Dan did with it too tactics the same as the other half he brought his damn best to the game.... Dan andriano in the ER is very good and three now with the other release this year. Trio touring Chicago holding my financial hope to see if I can get the fuck out of here and see them in a few days I think...... Trio....
So... Why is Wes Borland there? Did he tour with Matt or was this a one off? I know Hunter is apart of The Sekrets band but Borland is a nice surprise.
This is only an acoustic song, his voice slightly differs when he's not acoustic but still all around awesome. I'm sure he's fine singing in blink 182. I'm not sure how he sounds with them yet because I can only find live videos and you mostly hear the audience. It kinda scares me because I don't want alkaline trio to be over. I'm hoping they'll still be making albums as well as the guys having albums with their other bands. But alkaline trio not being a band anymore, if that ever happens..just freaks me out. Yes their sound has changed a tad bit but people grow up and want to experiment and keep making great music. I'll always love them no matter what. I know Matt isn't Tom, I know it sucks when a singer drops out, but you can try to give him a chance.
lol i love skiba. i dont think ive ever seen him play a show or event not stoned as hell. he was stoned as all hell when i met him, derek did most of the talking for him lol
wow. so many people unfamiliar with good old punk makes me so sad. skiba and the trio are amazeballs.......Dan's solo stuff is great as well........skiba and the sekrets are great........I was always more a trio fan than everything else......favorite band. you young punks need to do some research!
Also, people are acting like the make up is weird. If you know this band then you'd know they've done that kind of stuff on and off their entire career. And people bitching about his appearance and equating it to his abilities as a musician and applying to blink, look at Hoppus. He's a fan of painting his nails bright colors, guy-liner and make up. I'm sure it's an influence from his love of the Cure.
Ok, this is going to happen. Tom is not in Blink anymore. It sucks, but its time to move on from it. DO NOT judge Matt Skiba from this. Matt is an amazing musician. Watch any Alkaline Trio video, or what he did in Heavens. Old Alkaline Trio is in tune with Blink. Skiba will fucking kill it in Blink. Theres no doubt about that. So just hear it before you judge.....and go listen to Alkaline Trio for reference.
