New again is their best album :)

 

you guys are just mad that eddie is better than you at guitar. you don't know why and that's the way it is.

 

Goddamn it now that song is stuck in my head. Every time I hear that phrase, the chaotic jukebox part of my brain starts cycling through Mark’s shitty song, that Celine song, the Bruce Hornsby song and Tupac’s sample/interpolation of the Bruce Hornsby song.

 

Yeah when Fred joined, Eddie’s lead parts were relegated to octave countermelodies to what Fred played (e.g. the intro to 180 By Summer, which coincidentally, Eddie wrote along with the bridge/outro)

 

Not gonna lie, I've been randomly singing to myself "im better than youuuuu" over the past few weeks.
It's so bad that its actually catchy.

 

Yeah I definitely don’t wanna hate on Eddie’s guitar playing because he’s responsible for a lot of their bridges and outros, and he wrote the intro riff to It Doesn’t Feel a Thing Like Falling which, while not complicated to play, is definitely a lot of fun.

 

I'M BETTA DAN YOUUUUUUUUUUUU

 

Eddie's a solid player, and Mark is too for that matter. I think what we're finding out is both guys need to write with others to maximize their talents.

Or at least Mark does, not sure what Eddie's solo stuff sounds like. But Mark's ain't it, lol

 

Eddie brought the heaviness their sound

 

Does anyone know what was removed on Reddit regarding this post about Mark/Eddie? Looks like about 14 comments were either deleted or removed regarding Mark.

 

And a top 3 worst tbs song of all time

 

Such is the case with most people who go off and do side-projects when they aren’t the primary songwriter/composer. TBS works because its the sum of its parts with all different personalities and influences. Straylight Run worked because John is primarily a songwriter who just so happens to play guitar and piano very well.

 

Someone named “Mel” was looped into the thread. No idea who that is but they said they’re really trying to not get involved for the sake of their son and that if they wanted to they could spill a whole bunch of tea, and that “Stormie Peach” person was going off on another “Mark is a monster and a narcissist who has a hurt a lot of people” tangent. That’s all I saw then the whole thing got deleted and the Mod said to leave members of the band’s personal lives out this going forward or risk getting banned.

 

Nah

 

those reddit threads were wild.

 

I didn't get to see it but it's probably that stormie_peach person obsessing over Mark

Haha wow, this is messy Unddit

 

Seems like a wild amount of digital ink to spill over two guys from Taking Back Sunday lol

 

Rubano once said on a podcast that the whole story of the band and the intertwining stories of the individual members and everyone that’s ever been in the band’s orbit is a crazy one, and I feel like he wasn’t kidding about that.

 

i hesitate to even bring it up because of how little info there ever really was but, werent there abuse allegations about eddie like, maybe 5 or 6 years ago? and he basically "crazy ex gf'd" it all away? is this her?

 

maybe longer than that, because it was when he was still in the band i believe.

 

I do remember that! He made a Facebook post but nothing really came of it
