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 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.

Funfact: Tom Delonge full name is Thomas Matthew Delonge, while Matt Skiba full name is Matthew Thomas Skiba.

Matt Skiba - thank you for keeping blink going and the music you made with Mark & Travis!!

This is lovely ❤

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...

It'd be cool if Matt was a guest sometime during the tour 🤘

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! ❤

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 would love to see Matt Skiba perform with them again as a touring member or even a guest member.

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

Man I would have loved a four man blink 182. Matt gave a very interesting and different flavor to the band.

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

About time. So glad to have the poet of blink back

Alkaline Trio and Blink-182 should do a split ep where Blink covers 3 or so A3 songs and vice versa.

It will be nice if they bring Matt Skiba in their touring. He's the one who keeps Blink alive, and he does amazing job when Tom is leaving. He deserves huge appreciate from the fans.

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.

Am i the only one who thought it would be fun to see all 4 of them put out a track together? Edging has some lyrics that for sure feel like they could be at home in any alk3 song.

Jesus this is frustrating. I cannot find these last two in this first castle. And I can't find any actual descriptive guides on how to do it.

Matt is the man. Cannot wait to see what he puts out on his own or with Alkaline Trio in the future. Huge respect for him during this. I wish the Chili Peppers reunion would have been similar.

Ticket prices are scary right now. I'd wait until next year to check back

Good for Skiba, Good man.

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

thanks Matt for all you did

We ❤️ our Skiba in Chicago
