Love how you connect to various genres of music and also started making music yourself. Make sure you know the chords to All I Want Is You and Desire
See you around

I just googled it, one of Blink's members (Tom DeLonge) is a big U2 fan in there.

...and I really want to ask Blink something about the whole artificial intelligence thing, but I'm not sure what... can you guys make another FOTM interview focusing on that single aspect leaving U2 aside? that was really really interesting

First, to Blink, SUPER INTRESTING READ!
Second, I've read accounts of DeLonge's fandom of U2 starting with his discovery of The Joshua Tree in his childhood. After Blink-182's first break up in '05, he focused his inspirations on his then new band Angels & Airwaves and if you hear their first album, it's chock full of U2 influences, especially The Adventure. Which is, personally, my favorite song from them.
And it's so odd you mention being a Blink-182 fan, 'cause I've been in a Blink-182 kick this year and have re-listened to their music.

Wow talk about a coincidence! Do you still follow the band a bit? You know about Matt Skiba supposedly replacing Tom

Haha I suppose this 'musical evolution' was a natural trajectory for me!

Yes indeed! His other band is heavily inspired by U2 (mostly copying Edge's riffs)
Sure man, what do you wanna ask about AI
I guess IWF just hit that sweet spot for me, it was the song that made the transition from Blink to U2!
No Fiona Apple fans on the forum?

Bad memory! Hope you are set for this tour

I've been following them pretty closely as of late. Matt Skiba is, indeed, now a part of Blink-182, even recording an album with Mark and Travis due later this year. I'm really not blaming either camp in this 2nd break up, nor am I preferring one's member's side projects over the other. When the album with Skiba does come out I'll listen to it on it's own merit, thought I'm really not that familiar with Anilike Trio or his solo stuff to be honest.

Wow dude, The Gift sounds totally like U2 (ASOH drums, Joshua guitar) with Blink's singer on vocals! Amazing song
I like Blink182 too, my favourite song is What's My Age Again (strong teen memories like many others I gues) but I know a lot of them, I've played a few with my past bands. They're fun to play and to sing. And fun to get into medleys due to their pretty basic tonal structure!
PS. Don't even recognise Fiona Apple from name. I somehow picture her like a mix of Shrek's girlfriend and Apple's logo
. I still find the Untitled album their masterpiece. Such a great record Originally posted by Remy:[..]
As in me? I don't recall that but glad I could help you out back then
. Starting to think U2 doesn't want me at their show lol.
