Nothing screams cool like Travis Barker

He's probably the American Idiot BJA was referring to

its irrelevant what he's up to nowadays (even tho some of his current productions are actually great) because what he did behind the drum kit in 2002-03 will go down as some of the greatest percussion ever performed

sound like someone else we know maybe?

Green Day is a million times the band Blink is, but ok. Dookie shits all over anything they've ever done, pun intended.

I met Travis Barker one time. My band opened for some side project of the Mars Volta guys and he was drumming for them. He had some 7 foot bodyguard backstage with him backstage at all times. He walked up with him and waved to us and gave one of those signature squinty looks he does. Then they brought two of nastiest looking bar flies that must have been in their fifties back to the green room with him. They emerged about 20 minutes later laughing, presumably after blowing him. I did watch his band from the side of the stage and he was a great drummer. I'm not a fan of any of his bands but his drumming was impressive in person.

No one would have cared about Blink 182 without Green Day being good first

Declarations of Faith is one of the worst Zwan songs.
Billy trying to retcon it was the first song he wrote for the band.
Shit sucks.

C'mon who are we kidding?

We all would sell the Taylor Swift's bootlicker here down the river for another Billy song as good as DOF.

Fuck, i'd even throw in Run2pee FoolofaTook and Dinosaur Jr's best friend for another MSOTS!

Zwan is meh. It's not bad but....not so exciting.

Would you guys have bothered with this "American alternative rock supergroup" (lol) if it wasn't for BC and JC?

How did Billy even know Pajo? They seem like strange bedfellows. The snooty indie types that liked stuff like Slint usually hated SP and Corgan especially.

Zwan was really just a continuation of “Untitled” style SP except he was telling a different Asian guy and female bassist what to do.

Because it's off-topic

Like I said earlier, I hope Billy thinks we're all having a 7 page discourse on Indistinguishable ATUM Synth Track #8 But With A Little Clean Guitar This Time

Listened today for the first time without peering into this thread - and as has been said 141 times by now - that opening clean guitar is SO PROMISING. And somehow, the mere inclusion of that, even if unfulfilled, makes it better than most other songs from this album.

And to also echo - yes, too much samey-samey and too much synth and "are those really Jimmy's drums?" thoughts on each and every track.

Feels like it's generally a 36 song long CYR... and that one was already twice the length it should have been.

Besides some generic rockers like harmageddon and empiiiiiiaaaas it will be synthdriven, that is for sure

Someone on Reddit heard the next few songs and said they are proper heavy. I don't believe them though.

Yes there was a genuine indie groundswell surrounding Zwan
