I've tried. I looked in the mirror. I nearly cried. I changed it.

So, I agree with you. I can kinda get the messy spike going on, like it all fell down, but not straight up.

[B]

lol boo hoo

:p

:-*

[Pazz]

I'm not crying.:confused: I'm agreeing with you.:p

[These_Green_Eyes]

The podcast is up, I'm listening to it as I post this message.

[Pazz]

Umm, link please.

[These_Green_Eyes]

Just go to the AVA site and I would appreciate it if you didn't call me a moron. That is just plain rude.

[Pazz]

I edited it. I read it and realized it was mean.

What's the AVA site. I haven't been to it before.

[Mute Print]

I'll probably listen to the podcast later tonight if I get a chance.

Thanks.

It's the Macbeth Podcast, right?

[yourstruly]

I'm listening right now, tension is building..

[10571z]

I'm listening toit right now. I don't have 46 minutes. So I'm goingto stop it.

wow ino why the songs go for so long because they just repeat the same thing over and over... if you listen to the first song in the background in the podcast

[These_Green_Eyes]

Thanks.

It's the Macbeth Podcast, right?

That's what it says and no problem. I'm not really listening to it, I'm talking to my girlfriend and have it on in the background.

[Pazz]

I still want to hear the podcast. I'm just planning on leaving soon. And I don't feel like listening to the same thing twice if I quit half way through.

You really think Plus 44 won't be cliché. From the song we've all heard, the melodies are pretty bad and the lyrics are especially a let down, for someone who has wrote better songs ("ST4TK", "Stockholm Syndrome", "I Miss You"). Even Travis' drumming wasn't as impressive as it can be.

It's hard to compare AAA with Blink, because it's made up of band members from other amazing bands as well, whereas +44 is pretty much Mark and Travis with someone else.

I'm very psyched for AAA now, because I think the music will be somewhat epic in terms of what Tom can do. Let's face it, no one is going to be thinking "Hey, you heard that band with the guy from Rocket From The Crypt?"

i dunno i was just far from impressed with the background riff it was just such a crappy little riff and i dunno maybe its just cause his been saying its the best thing ever and all that ****.. but i will probably like it once i hear a full song.

[dancetomdance182]

The podcast wasn't good. No music. I guess we'll have to wait 'til January for the single to come out.

[HitHardDrums55]

Kif, it was hard to compare boxcar racer to blink182, even though it had tom and travis in it...BCR was a little bit darker sounding, and the drums were amazing in BCR, where they were decent in Blink, but rarely mind-blowing beats...just fast usually

As for the drums not being as good as barker can do in +44, it kind of shows that he knows when to do what...if your playing acoustic drums to acoustic guitars, theres only so much you can do and make it still sound good, where on electric guitar/bass if you play the same song the drums can absolutely go crazy if necessary...the acoustics are kind of like with keys too...if you have keys in your music then you should probably hold back from doing anything too crazy, because it will make everything sound muddy and bad..so i think barker just did his thing on the drums...maybe they'll end up having some more powerful songs where he can show off a little bit...

...even though i have come to conclusion that barker is definately not my favorite drummer anymore since i started listening to alkaline trio a few years ago

Travis=Drumming god

He's better than Alk3's drummer by alot I'd say.

[HitHardDrums55]

ever seen derek grant live?

ive seen some barker solos and theyre all the same thing..except one i heard was complete ****...i was surprised

[B]

Stew you suck.

Travis is nothing more than above average. The only thing he has going for him is that he can play semi-fast. If you want to hear fast playing in pop-punk/punk music then listen to Byron McMackin from Pennywise.

Wheres the AVA song in the podcast :-/

I dont think he wrote stay together for the kids.. as tom said he rote it about a day where his family broke.. and also what do you expect travis to do in the 30 seconds he plays???

Travis is well above average. He can play way more than semi-fast too. Travis is one of the best drummers I've ever heard. He's nothing like I've heard you saying about him.

[plaidbassbilly]

I agree. Travis does some pretty amazing stuff, but he isn't the best ever. I've seen some of Longineau Parsons from Yellowcard drum solos, and he struck me as better than Travis.

[Surtr]

I agree. Travis does some pretty amazing stuff, but he isn't the best ever. I've seen some of Longineau Parsons from Yellowcard drum solos, and he struck me as better than Travis.
Not me, he's good, but not better than Travis. Nicko McBrain is a sweet drummer, in my opinion most likely the best, although no one would ever back me up on that..They'd say Zeppelin's drummer, or someone stupid like that.

yeh alot of drum forum people think all the old drummers are soooo good.... travis has alot of speed which makes him sound good... Check out the guy from Rush listen to yyz

[dancetomdance182]

Neil Peart is sick also. The Yellowcard drummer is a lot like Travis.

[HitHardDrums55]

im not a fan of neil peart (i think thats his name..guy from rush)...dont get me wrong, he's an amazing drummer! but i personally think his setup is WAY too big i think the 3 drummers alkaline trio has recorded with (glenn porter, mike felumlee, and derek grant) are extremely talented...theyre all really fast AND they add creativity to the stuff alk3 does...while travis barker on the other hand basically does the same style beat for more than half of their songs...ocassionally he'll throw in some latin or funk beat over a rock beat, and change up the bass drum...he does have good fills though...and he's only fast because he's been playing since he was 4 and he did almost everything possible for snare drum in high school that will definately build up some speed

so i hear mark can do slap bass pretty well?

[10571z]

ive never heard that ....??^^^^^^^

[yourstruly]

I've never seen Mark slap

[10571z]

can he slap pretty well though?

[plaidbassbilly]

Well...I don't think he ever slaps really, considering he plays with a pick. I could be wrong, but it would make sense.

[10571z]

thats what i thought... but this guy thinks he can slap

[Untitled]

He slapped a little on one of the videos for the production of the nS/t album if i remember rightly, he seemd to be able to do it ok. Id expect him to be able to he's been playing bass for 15 years or something.

[TakeWarning]

As if Mark Hoppus would be any good at slap. And Neil Peart is an awesome drummer.

[HitHardDrums55]

i know hoppus plays with a pick, but somebody on here said they saw a video of him playing slap bass and he was a lot better than people think since he has such simple bass lines with blink

and i never said neil peart wasn't an awesome drummer...actually i said he IS an awesome drummer...just said i dont like his setup, its too complex for my liking...but at least he knows how to rock a set that big

[Bad Blood]

I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole podcast. : /

[Pazz]

Lazy Ben. I haven't got to listening to the podcast yet.

[Bad Blood]

It just sounds too boring if we don't even get atleast a preview of the music.

:(

[FauxApathy]

If you've been playing bass for 15 years, you at least know HOW to slap.... Even if you're not good at it. He uses a pick normally, so he's probably just average.

I think Josh Freese is Better than Travis, and that's still in the Pop-punk genre.

[Bad Blood]

He's never really had to be good for the music Blink has made. So i guess he's just made do with it.

[10571z]

Yeh its true ive been playing for 3 and ino how to slap you just muck around and figure it out

[yourstruly]

The whole "TrAvIs SuXoRs wOrSeR dEn DiS gUy" thing gets really old, really fast, and has no reasonable outcome.

[10571z]

amen......

so who actually bought the greatest hits... i did ive listed to it once.. but now i have the whoole colletion so meh

[Fire Away]

My parents got it for me for christmas... I may not open it. Leave it preserved for years and years, never listened to.

[yourstruly]

I'm making money now, so I might get it eventually, but there are other CDs I wanna get before that one.

[10571z]

which ones...

im getting there only chasing safety soon (underoath)

[plaidbassbilly]

I got the Greatest Hits for Another Girl, Another Planet and so I'd have all their available albums.

Today I got Millencolin's Home From Home for $4. Good bargain I say!

That'd be a dollar for every good song :D

But I want the GH for the bonus DVD stuff aswell

[plaidbassbilly]

Oh...you don't think it's good? Oh well. I wanted it for Man Or Mouse.

That bonus DVD stuff goes for about 5 minutes. It's nothing to get excited over to tell you the truth!

[Fire Away]

From what I recall hearing it's Carousel and Whats My Age Again live recordings and Rock Show and Feeling This making of videos, and thats it. Am I right?

[plaidbassbilly]

It's the making of Feeling This, I Miss You and Down, and some live recordings that we've already seen on Urethra Chronicles 2 anyway...they could've done such a better job!

[yourstruly]

which ones...

im getting there only chasing safety soon (underoath)
To many to name, there's so much music on my ipod which needs replacing with purchased music.

[guns_of_brixton]

Tom is a better guitarist than he gets credit for.

[Bad Blood]

He's not brilliant, though.

[B]

The whole "TrAvIs SuXoRs wOrSeR dEn DiS gUy" thing gets really old, really fast, and has no reasonable outcome.
Yeah, and the whole "Tavis is an amazing drummer" is pathetic and shows why a lot of people hate Blink fans.

he amazes me are you lawling..???
Yeah actually.

[Get Fighted]

I still am not bored of the Plus 44 song. And the AAA Movie trailer is great music as well. I cant wait until January for the single.

He's not brilliant, though.

Yeah i agree, although hes never been a Micheal Angelo, i still respect him for his skill.

[Bad Blood]

He makes what he does sound good. That's all that really matters in pop punk.

[dancetomdance182]

Tom isn't one of those guitarists that can improvise or shred. I mean, he's not even that good. But I love his way of playing and song writing. I remember when blink was making blink 182 their latest album, they had those videos of Tom and Mark writing songs. THat just made me want to get out my acoustic and write songs. Anyway, Tom looks fcking cool with his strat.

[Pazz]

I still haven't bought the Blink 182 Greatest Hits CD. My sister has it, so maybe I will steal it from her and give it a listen to.

[Untitled]

Ive not baught it, i proberly won't to be honest.

[Pazz]

There's only 1 song on there I haven't heard, so it's not a big deal if I buy it or not.

[Ross]

If you have all the other albums... There is no point.

I agree about Tom's guitarring, and the view on pop-punk in general. As long as it sounds good, that's what really matters. R&Mers who jib on about 20 minute epic shred solos making a song are frankly wrong. (Oz, who am I talking about? ;))

[10571z]

i just bought it to compete my collection :)... if i have kids i wonder if theyll like blink?

[Surtr]

Yeah, and the whole "Tavis is an amazing drummer" is pathetic and shows why a lot of people hate Blink fans.



Ok first of all, SHUT THE **** UP BRANDON! I'm a drummer myself, and I'm not a total piece of crap one either, I know what good drumming is. Travis can play, and I'd say he's one of the better drummers around today.


Second of all, I have the Greatist Hits, it's not anything great, I had all the songs except for AGAP.

[Pazz]

So! I just borrowed my sisters copy of the Greatest Hits. What to say? Nothing really, it's a bunch of songs that are alright. I would have chosen different songs, but Geffen did it for the money. Another Girl Another Planet, first time hearing it and it wasn't bad. I'm going to download it now, and forget about buying this. If I stummble across it on sale somewhere and have the money, maybe I will buy it. Nothing special.

[10571z]

hahaha i just saw the travis barker add so funny...

[HitHardDrums55]

I think it's funny how people come in here and diss the musical ability of Mark, Tom, or Travis when 1) None of you are successful professional musicians as far as I know, 2)The vast majority of you have probably never even tried to play in a band and therefore don't know how much work it takes, and 3) Mark, Tom, Travis and any other major musician doesn't give a crap what you think.

I think Independent_CA presents a valid point, but 10571z (and anyone else for that matter) are entitled to discuss the capability of a musician such as Travis Barker if they want to. It is a Blink discussion thread after all.

[yourstruly]

Seriously, i don't know why the **** everyone cares about how good Tom, Mark and Travis are at there ****. They're doing it how they want to, and it's not going to change. What the **** is the point in agruing about it?.

I'm not insulting his ability to play. I'm merely saying he isn't as amazing as everyone says.

Ps. Your #2 is wrong, the vast majority of people here are musicians and therefore have at least jammed with other people. I know tons of people here who are in bands, and some of them have actually been quite successful.

And as for them not caring. Yes they do, of course they do, they wouldn't have released a Greatest Hits album like they did if they didn't want to make some more money out of it. And if they want to make money, they must care what people think. Plus Tom and all his boasting about how good AAA will be. I'm sure he must care.

1027z(Or whatever it is :p): I actually agree with you. For once.

Just because people aren't a professional at something doesn't mean you can't judge them. Your theory would also mean that, because I'm not a politician I can't judge the Prime Minister of my country and how he runs it. Because I'm not an Author, I can't judge a book that I've read.

its actually the record companies choice to make a greatest hits cd......and jsut for an example, afi got screwed over for it cause their record company made a GH cd for them and they werent planning to do that untill they were done with music.

i also think ppl should liten up, bands like blink 182 arent going to care what u say about their skill.......they've already made it to the big time so they dont have to worry about that ****, plus i imagine if tom was one of those guys who felt the need to rip a huge *** solo in every song, then they wouldnt be anywere near as popular as they are now.

but i do agree every1 is entitled to their own opinion, if u wanna say tom sucks at guitar then so be it there is nothing any1 can do about it but think about how much of an a-hole people are. OH, and one more think some of u guys should check the online vids blink 182 has on their sites..........it shows how amazing travis is i mean this guy has much style its unbeliveable! thats what alot of ppl dont realize, he takes so many diff aspects of the drums and uses so many of them but its hard to tell with guitar and bass over it

[B]

I think you should stop posting until you finish elementary school. Perhaps then you'll be able to use the skills you learn to form a comprehendable sentence.

[Pazz]

His writing makes my eyes bleed.

[HitHardDrums55]

its not that hard to understand, but i mean being a drummer who can play by ear who has been studying drums for a long time and i have tons of drummer friends who have been playing longer than me who give me pointers...i think its safe to say that travis doesnt SUCK, but he's not quite as amazing as everyone seems to think he is...

lets put it this way: every blink song (including the ones with scott on drums) and boxcar racer song, and DEFINATELY every transplants song, and every aquabats song with travis on drums...i could figure them out the first few times i listened to them
now listen to josh freese with the vandals...he's a MUCH better drummer...he's just as fast as travis barker, does session work with many different people (basically anywhere between A Perfect Circle to Sting)
and Glenn Porter and Derek Grant with Alkaline Trio, or Mike Felumlee with Smoking Popes and Alkaline Trio...all three of those drummers have at least one song with alkaline trio that i have been working on for months/over a year...theyre all reallllllllly quick and smooth and have amazing beats and fills

and mark kind of sucks at bass as far as i know...im anxious to hear him with plus 44 to see if he'll bust out some crazy bass lines unexpected of him rather than just root notes

tom, i cant say he's good or bad i dont know anything about guitar...i like how his stuff sounds personally, but my brother could play every blink song ever recorded when he still played...so apparently he thought it was easy

[dancetomdance182]

I can't really judge mark because I've never played with him or seen him solo..etc. But I do know that root notes did fit blink. Tom played basically the melody and Mark had the bass. He could have done a better job such as ading fills.

[TakeWarning]

Mark could have made Blink's music just a little bit more interesting by occasionally adding a fill or something. Root notes fit in well, but other pop-punk bassists use fills and frankly it gives the music a little more dimension.

[why-was-i-banned]

Mark could have made Blink's music just a little bit more interesting by occasionally adding a fill or something. Root notes fit in well, but other pop-punk bassists use fills and frankly it gives the music a little more dimension.

Honestly, marks playing fits blinks style. I mean he practically was the bassist and rythym guitarist in one when they played live. He has to play quick as. No one can really add interesteing fills when you play that quick. And on another hand, i saw mark playing bass in this video when he was sitting on a couch, and he was slapping and popping and stuff. He also has eally good technique for a punk bassist.:thumb:

[plaidbassbilly]

Yeah, his style fits the music. You don't need to jazz it up if the formula is working.

Dude ranch has some cool bass lines, not neccesarily hard bass lines but cool ones, e.g Boring, Josie, Emo, Apple Shampoo, Degenerate etc.

And some other cool ones:

Marlbaro Man
Carousel (Supposed to be easy, but i dont see many root notes)
Man Overboard
Anthem Pt II
Online songs

There are probably more if i think harder

[Ross]

To guitarists, Travis is a good drummer as he keeps good time.

That is all.

P.S. ever played with a drummer who can't keep time? Where I come from we burn them with phospherous bombs.

[Fire Away]

Dude ranch has some cool bass lines, not neccesarily hard bass lines but cool ones, e.g Boring, Josie, Emo, Apple Shampoo, Degenerate etc.

I heard mark does have some Tattoos, does anyone know if this is true?

[Bad Blood]

sorry, forgot my pill

Be sure to take it next time.

[plaidbassbilly]

I heard mark does have some Tattoos, does anyone know if this is true?

Nah not sure about tattoos, but I know he has his nipple pierced.

[10571z]

pfft they might suck at there instruments but there making more money then all the "good" instrument players so really by saying mark tom and travis suck there pratically bagging all those "awsome guitar players" who are 1/5th as wealthy if that as them.....

"they suck but they still pwn every1"

[plaidbassbilly]

I didn't really understand that, sorry.

[Bad Blood]

No one ever really does understand him...

Some good guitar players will be as wealthy/wealthier than Blink.

[Independent_CA]

1. Just because u arent a professional musician doesnt mean you cant have a opinion....
2. Alot of people in this thread are in bands
3. We are just discussion it between the thread users which is the whole point of a thread.
I wasn't saying you couldn't discuss it, I was just saying that people's comments like "Mark sucks at bass" were getting kind of old. Until yesterday or the day before, I hadn't been here in like 2 weeks at least and I still saw a comment like that every page or so.


Ps. Your #2 is wrong, the vast majority of people here are musicians and therefore have at least jammed with other people. I know tons of people here who are in bands, and some of them have actually been quite successful.
I was referring more to a working band that makes their own music, plays shows regularly and/or say has some kind of record deal. I'm pretty sure those numbers are a bit smaller than everyone who has hit a few bass notes or whatever while their buddies were playing.


And as for them not caring. Yes they do, of course they do, they wouldn't have released a Greatest Hits album like they did if they didn't want to make some more money out of it. And if they want to make money, they must care what people think. Plus Tom and all his boasting about how good AAA will be. I'm sure he must care.
No, they don't care. They want you to listen, but they don't care if you think they suck or don't deserve to be where they're at. That's what I was getting at, and Mark has said so before.


Just because people aren't a professional at something doesn't mean you can't judge them. Your theory would also mean that, because I'm not a politician I can't judge the Prime Minister of my country and how he runs it. Because I'm not an Author, I can't judge a book that I've read. I'm sure you get my point.
No that wasn't really my point. Like I said, I was just pointing out that this discussion is getting kind of old and that little comments like "Travis is a crappy drummer" are just kind of lame in general and won't change how he plays. You guys can discuss what you want, I just wanted to point that out.

[B]

No, they don't care. They want you to listen, but they don't care if you think they suck or don't deserve to be where they're at. That's what I was getting at, and Mark has said so before.
I didn't say they didn't deserve it. They do. If they can make music that appeals to the masses like they have then all the power to them. I'm saying that you can't not care. If they say they don't care, that's nice. Tom also says AAA will be the best band ever. Doesn't mean he's telling the truth. I'm sure they care a bit. You wouldn't make music if you didn't care. They've never had to worry about that though because there's always been people who liked them. And for a good reason.

No that wasn't really my point.

Yes, it was your point. You said that "None of us are professional musicians". What does that have to do with our ability to judge how good they play?

[These_Green_Eyes]

I heard mark does have some Tattoos, does anyone know if this is true?

I'm quite sure he doesn't.

[Untitled]

I'm quite sure he doesn't.
Im quite sure your wrong, 10000% sure.

He has "Skye" on one wrist and "Jake" or "jack" i forget on the other.

[Bad Blood]

pwned

lawl. Why would it matter if he had tattoos or not?

[B]

Because someone asked.

He used otnot have any back in the day. And Tom and Scott/Travis were the only ones who had them. At least, I think.

He has way less of them than the other two, anyways.

[Untitled]

He got them in 03 i beleave, i remember watching a video on the blink182 site, one of the cehtah videos, and he was showing them off.

[B]

Yeah, I knew they were fairly new.

[10571z]

I'm quite sure he doesn't.
im 10000000000000000000000000% sure he does. you see it in the dvds.

[yourstruly]

I wonder what Mark, Tom and Travises kids are gonna be like. Like all there parents are extremely rich, so I hope they aren't completely spoilt.

[sam_182]

im 10000000000000000000000000% sure he does. you see it in the dvds.

yes he does. on each wrists he has "skye" (wife) and "jack" (son):chug:

[Surtr]

yes he does. on each wrists he has "skye" (wife) and "jack" (son):chug:
Yup. You win.

I wonder what Mark, Tom and Travises kids are gonna be like. Like all there parents are extremely rich, so I hope they aren't completely spoilt.
Well..They most likely might end up that way. Hopefully not though, not everyone who's born into money is spoiled.

[sam_182]

The only thing that will determine that is how their parents bring them up. It is judged by that not money. I doubt those guys wouldnt teach their kids proper morale values, but hey..I dont know them.

[Pazz]

I think Travis' kids are going to be brought up a lot like he is now. If you see his kid, he has a mohawk and he's like 5(well his step-son). Travis' kids will probably be the worst of them all.

[Independent_CA]

Yes, it was your point. You said that "None of us are professional musicians". What does that have to do with our ability to judge how good they play?
...No it wasn't. I'm not trying to start an argument here, but I'm going to try and explain this one more time. They care about success and having fans and all of that, but they do not care about the opinions of people who don't listen to and/or don't like them for whatever reason. That is what I was getting at, they don't care about what non-fans think, and why should they.

[Surtr]

Enough! No More ****in' Bullshit! Stop Arguing About That, It's Over!

[These_Green_Eyes]

:lol: :lol: Im quite sure your wrong, 10000% sure.

He has "Skye" on one wrist and "Jake" or "jack" i forget on the other.

Haha, well excuse me. I just thought he didn't. I know in the "All The Small Things" video he has a tattoo making fun of 98 Degrees. :lol:

[10571z]

I wonder what Mark, Tom and Travises kids are gonna be like. Like all there parents are extremely rich, so I hope they aren't completely spoilt.

i reckon it would be so dam wierd relising when ur 15 like so many people praised your dad as a idol all around the world... and like he was in a awsome band and all that> because in 15 years that all blink 182 would have passed... it just be wierd to find our about your dads history

[Fire Away]

Surely during the ages of 11 and 15 they would listen to Blink. Surely. If I was Mark, Tom or Travis I would force it upon them.

[plaidbassbilly]

Yeah, I'd be like "hey check out this band, they're heaps good..."

But it's not like they wouldn't have realised beforehand.

[yourstruly]

I kinda envy them and pity the kids. But alot of my opinion depends on what there plans are for raising there kids. None of us personally know them, so it's hard to say.

[16 Nipples]

I dont think Blink will encourage their kids to listen to Blink when they are 11, considering they swear in most songs and talk about dicks and stuff, I mean lets face it, I doubt your parents would be very happy if you were 11 and you let your parents hear The Mark, Tom and Travis Show would they lol?

Na I think the kids will discover Blink themselves

[B]

Enough! No More ****in' Bullshit! Stop Arguing About That, It's Over!
I'm sorry Stew, did we upset you so much that you got..

CAPS PWNED

ha reminds me off a time after a 21st i was about 12 and a 18 year old offered us a ride home as my parents had been drinking. Do they accepted well anyways he had mark tom and travis show playing and it was the song before family reunion i was so scared as to what they would think of blink 182.Lucky he relised just before the cd came on wooh...

thats my life story.

[plaidbassbilly]

I used to be scared of playing the songs with swear words in them...now I don't really care. Except one time not too long ago Media Player was on random, and my uncle walked in, and Tom screamed "masturbation" or something. It was horrible.

[FauxApathy]

My parents are fine with swears and stuff so they don't really care.

It's kind of uncomforatable listening to a song with sexual innuendos around them, but they actually like the same kind of music I do, so they probably feel exactly the same way.

The only reason I ever came to like bands like The Offspring and Blink is because my parents loved them. They're the old school fans.

[yourstruly]

Well it would be a bit hypocritical of Blink if they keep there kids away from swearing and stuff.

[Fish]

The only reason I ever came to like bands like The Offspring and Blink is because my parents loved them. They're the old school fans.

offspring > blink

My parents also like blink and offspring (while just my dad) and he got me into the offspring, but I got him into blink.

[yourstruly]

My parents like classical and country music :barf:, To them Blink is probably just fast noise.

[redrumsixsix6]

To guitarists, Travis is a good drummer as he keeps good time.

That is all.

P.S. ever played with a drummer who can't keep time? Where I come from we burn them with phospherous bombs.


crap yeah, i played with this one kid who tried hard fills, rythms and techniques.......but didnt seem to give a **** about timing. it wa so frustrating!

[alkalinetriorocks!]

crap yeah, i played with this one kid who tried hard fills, rythms and techniques.......but didnt seem to give a **** about timing. it wa so frustrating!
i believe you, man. there was one kid who was good at guitar and wanted to be in a band with me and my friends. he didnt care about timing. just wanted to show off to some girls.wat a f*cking loser!

Woah, you've managed to quadruple post in this thread and in the Alkaline Trio thread. Try to avoid that. It's unnecessary, and annoying. Use the edit button.

There hasn't been an MCR thread in a while because they aren't really well-liked here.

[plaidbassbilly]

Ahh Christmas. It's tradition for me to play the "I Won't Be Home For Christmas" CD when everyone is opening their presents on Christmas morning.

[dancetomdance182]

That song is actually quite funny if you hear the lyrics.

[HitHardDrums55]

i need to find that in my cds to put on itunes

[Pazz]

I used to love that song. I think I killed it by overplaying it. I listen to it the odd time, now and then.

[plaidbassbilly]

I only ever listen to it on Christmas day really, unless I have my music on random or something. It makes it extra special.

[Pazz]

I listened to it for a whole year. So it wasn't even Christmas and I would be listening to it. My sister started bitching at me because it wouldn't be Christmas time and I'm listening to it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

/hasn't heard that song in awhile

[Pazz]

Turn it on then Justin, gawd!

[10571z]

It is a brand new copy (promo stickers etc) and the current bid is around £3.

[Bad Blood]

How long left?

[Get Fighted]

How long left?
5 days

Hmmmm something tells me you guys are going to beat me to it.

[Pazz]

I have a burned copy that I made myself. I don't want that. Just wait until the last day. I bet ya it's aroun $50 by then.

[Bad Blood]

Haha, it'll go up a lot.

[chumpradio]

On Tuesday, something is happening in the world of Plus 44.

Their official website has a countdown.

I was trying to get on their site, and it said it was under construction.:confused:

I can't see a countdown, confusion.

[These_Green_Eyes]

Ha ha, why don't they show Carol Heller's age?

[dancetomdance182]

Didn't you send me a copy of it? Or was it someone else?

Does someone want to send me 'Untitled' from MTATS?

Mine skips and it ruins the CD :(

[TheNinja]

A few pages ago there was talk about swearing in Blink songs an TMTATS and I have a few stories about that. When I got that cd I was always afraid of my mom finding it but she never did but my friend's mom did and made him delete all the Blink songs off of his ipod. Then this other kid in my class was singing family reunion in class and he was singing the words really loud and the teacher heard him and made him stay after class. He got out of it by pretending to cry and saying he was sorry a whole bunch of times. But now my mom knows that I have Blink songs that aren't edited on my ipod but she doesn't care because she knows that if she makes me delete them on my ipod I will just get them from my friends again.

my parents wouldnt make me delete them cause im from australia where sex and swearing can be shown on tv and they dont try and shade it from kids as much as they do in america....even though they show war and other disgusting more emotionally scaring and social un acceptable things on the news at 5 oclock..

[yourstruly]

It's pretty stupid really. I was never really shaded from it but I turned out fine. Maybe a few more ****s, ****s and bite mes though..
Mark and Tom are so funny on stage , it's cool how they can do that with each other and not take it personally.

I heard stuff about that in australia. Cant they like show curses and what not, but they edit out offensive things like fag,gay etc......



and about the plus44 countdown thing. I have a feeling its about their site officaly going up and having content

[plaidbassbilly]

I like it how Australia isn't that tight on stuff like that. We edit "cocaine" out of that Green Day song...umm...can't think of it now, but we don't edit out ****. Odd.

[yourstruly]

Thread's going a bit off topic.

[plaidbassbilly]

Yeah, a bit. For like, one post.

Today I got a message at some ridiculous hour that said "I won't be home, I won't be home for Christmas..." and I was stumped at what Tom says after this. Anyone know?

[yourstruly]

what kinda message was it?. email, text, messenger..etc

[plaidbassbilly]

Oh it was an sms from my friend. Is it "please postmark it" or "please post my bail?"

[Bad Blood]

Someone upload 'Untitled'from MTATS and send it to my email address please :)

when i went to america they blurred paris hiltons bum crack i couldnt believe it.....

[plaidbassbilly]

Jeez, it's not like anyone hasn't seen it before. :rolleyes:

I looked up the words, it's "please post my bail." I'm listening to Don't Tell Me That It's Over, I quite like it.

[dancetomdance182]

It's Christmas and the countdown is still going.

[Bad Blood]

It's not a countdown to Christmas.

It's a countdown to when the site gets up and running, and possibly a new song. They said there was going to be something new.

And it finishes at midnight too.

[Bad Blood]

We won't know until it's counted!

*suspense*

[Dead Star]

Ah piss.

I'll have to come on later then.

[chumpradio]

Half an hour until the countdown finishes for me.
I'm guessing it's either another song, various clips of many songs, or lots of information about the album.
Or possibly a video of some sort, featuring studio footage and many clips of songs and stuff.

Either way, I cannot wait until midnight.

[chumpradio]

I don't really think they'd just put a countdown up randomly.
I really want to hear more of their stuff, No It Isn't, although not amazing, is really fun to listen to, because it is new stuff involving Mark.
Same with AVA, I will love it, just because it's Tom.

I don't think it's possible for me to dislike either of these bands, because I always used to be obsessed with Blink, and Mark and Tom were some of my first idols. Even if I rarely listen to them anymore, I will always love them.

[Untitled]

Im still obsessed with Blink182, 4 years on, or something.

Youd expect it from a 13 year old, not someones who 18 in a couple weeks.
