Yup

And a pint of a drink of your chioce...:chug:

/Cracks open the strongbow cirrus for myself

[Ross]

Eww cider.

Baileys "on the rocks" is the drink of choice for me at the moment.

[Untitled]

Eww cider.

Baileys "on the rocks" is the drink of choice for me at the moment.
ITs not just any cider....

Its cirrus...

You had it?

I call it the upper class cider, cause its in a fancie bottle, but its more expensive then the other stuff.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I just heard Dammit on the radio. Brought back memories...

[Surtr]

I just heard Dammit on the radio. Brought back memories...
We're too retarded where I come from to listen to real music on the radio..I've never once heard a song that I listen to normally on the radio.

[DJ Ducksauce]

We're too retarded where I come from to listen to real music on the radio..I've never once heard a song that I listen to normally on the radio.
We have about 5 stations here that I'll listen to. The rest are pop, country, and rap. :-\

Talk shows down here with the rock stations are good to listen to also.

[yourstruly]

Touchdown Boy and Mutt

[Virus278]

I just don't like the prog claims Tom has been making. He has discovered a 4th chord, it's hardly outstanding stuff. Its still an enjoyable listen, but a serious let down.

What's the 4th chord?

- About the favorite song........dont have time to pick right now - lol - it'd take a lot of time for me to think and narrow it down but every song iv'e read would be a contender. Some songs that I really love but no one else seems to talk about are Not Now, Violence, Reckless Abandon, and 21 Days

[B]

He's implying that Tom used to just play 3 chord progressions generally using just power chords. And now he has "learned a fourth chord" or managed to play slightly different music.

[yourstruly]

Tom hardly ever uses 3 chord progressions.

[B]

Meh. I kind of worded it wrong.

The implication is still there though.

[yourstruly]

Yeah I see that. I don't get why people are saying the albums an enjoyable let down, it's only a let down to them cos they got their hopes up to high.

[B]

Pretty much.

I thought it was good. Far from a let down. i was expecting worse.

[Mute Print]

I'm so curious to hear this album, but unless someone convinces me it isn't worth it, I'm waiting to buy it.

[form]

At first I hated, now its like my top 10.

I love it, I'm trying to stay away from it, with the help of Brandon...

Been listening to it way too much...

[B]

Hey Mattay click something else k?

[form]

lol, I did, its been almost a day since my last listen :cool:

[yourstruly]

haha, avaholic

[form]

lol

Nice.

New word, too, and it sounds cool.

[yourstruly]

Travis Barker and Tom Delonge have both publicly announced blink-182's official disbandment. Barker was quoted as saying in a media conference, "As far as I'm concerned, Blink is over". Delonge, at the first Angels and Airwaves show, stated that "blink-182 has broken up."

Old news?

[DJ Ducksauce]

I was hearing rumors about a reunion after both band's tours, but I guess I got my hopes up. :(

[punkrocker-182]

Anyone been to A&As Official Website?
That's where you can get all the videos (It hurts, The Adventure, The First Contact, ect.) the movie Trailer and 2 Tom interviews.

[yourstruly]

I've been to it, that Blink Central site that guy posted has lots of stuff in it.

[Spiritofmosa]

i hope blink182 would not reunite.. they wont become the way they were before and will totally ****up the band's image.
tom has matured so much

[punkrocker-182]

I was watching 1 of the tom interviews and he said he still feels the same as
he did 10 years ago.
(and he said he still has a potty mouth.) :lol:

[yourstruly]

i hope blink182 would not reunite.. they wont become the way they were before and will totally ****up the band's image.
tom has matured so muchWho cares about image?, it's not important.

[Mr Sasquatch]

Where the hell can I buy an Angels and Airwaves CD?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

It not out yet, but you can download it... there's a link a few pages back, but I'm too lazy to find it.

And on the favourite song thing;

Mine would definetly be Stockholm Syndrome if it was longer...

But I'll say ST4TK. I like their more serious song.
Although everything else still rocks.

And if we're including side projects, Letters To God, hands down.

It's one of my all time favoutite songs. It's orgasmic.

[Surtr]

Who cares about image?, it's not important.
Whether you like it or not, image is deffinatly important.

[yourstruly]

Blinks image already changed alot going from TOYPAJ to S/T, if Blink got back together, it wouldn't be much different to how they were before the break up.

[yourstruly]

is that where you got your username from?

[Bad Blood]

Who cares about image?, it's not important.

Haha, of course it is.

[Pazz]

I listen to the AVA album now everyday. It grew on my really quickly and I really like it now.

[Bad Blood]

Haha, same here.

I said I didn't like it, but I was falling in love with it.

6000th post :cool:

[Get Fighted]

I like every song off it now. And im seeing them in 9 days

:cool:

[B]

I've listened to it like twice.

It's good. But nothing I'd listen to more than anyhting else.

[Bad Blood]

I like every song off it now. And im seeing them in 9 days

:cool:

Nice.

The chorus in Distraction really annoys me, I hate it.

[Get Fighted]

Tbh most of the songs dont have very good choruses, i.e Start The Machine has amazing verses and an average chorus and the same goes with A Littles Enough and those are the best on the album imo. It Hurts being my absolute favourite but that does have a good chorus.

[16 Nipples]

Yeah the AVA album has grown on me alot, A Little's Enough, It Hurts and The War are amazing.

[Bad Blood]

In The Gift, I LOVE the line "I gotta feel like i'm in for it now"

It makes the album for me.

I don't know why, but I love it. :)

Start The Machine and A Little's Enough have awesome chorus imo.

[yourstruly]

I just realised I have 2 Blink 182 CDs, but have everything song by them on itunes

[Virus278]

In The Gift, I LOVE the line "I gotta feel like i'm in for it now"

It makes the album for me.

I don't know why, but I love it. :)

Wow - me too - that's like me favorite song on the whole album. Btw, it's: "oh god i feel like i'm in for it now". Oh, and about the song "it hurts" - i still really don't like that song

[yourstruly]

Do you guys reckon the AVA album will go platinum?

[Surtr]

Do you guys reckon the AVA album will go platinum?
Maybe..Doubt it?

[B]

Yes. It will.

I have every Blink cd.

[form]

Do you guys reckon the AVA album will go platinum?

I highly doubt...

[B]

Why do you guys doubt it?

It'll probably be just as big as Blink's last cd :-\

[punkrocker-182]

Does "Flyswatter" count as a blink CD?

[yourstruly]

Does "Flyswatter" count as a blink CD?
It's a tape.

It seems pretty likely, that it will, I mean they're selling out every show.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

During 1998 Blink-182 traveled the world with a very heavy touring schedule. The ‘Poo-Poo Pee-Pee Tour’(with Unwritten Law and Homegrown) and the ‘Race Around Uranus’ Tour (with Less Than Jake) both brough

is that where you got your username from?

Yes, yes it is. Good observation.

And I own every blink CD, including flyswatter, but it's burned...

Does anyone own all the blink CD's/DVD's and side project CD's?

That'd be crazy...

[yourstruly]

If I could afford it, I would, except The Transplants.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Yeah, I never really liked The Transplants...

Travis may be a good drummer, but to me, he's nothing without Mark and Tom.

Well, nothing except a good drummer. :p

NP: Distraction - AVA. I love this song. One of the best on the album, IMO.

Whatdy'all think the worst song on the album is?

I'd say Good Day, although it's still a good song.

[yourstruly]

I can't really say the best or worst, The War is the only song that really standouts out for me, the rest are really similiar.

[Ross]

I really liked the Transplants.

[Get Fighted]

I can't really say the best or worst, The War is the only song that really standouts out for me, the rest are really similiar.

I must say the war could fit in on the Blink s/t very easily.

[plaidbassbilly]

Ok, that's it, I'm so behind with this whole AVA thing.

I'm going to finally listen to the album. You guys are making it sound so good!

[Bad Blood]

It is after about 10 plays, bare that in mind.

[yourstruly]

I must say the war could fit in on the Blink s/t very easily.Yeah, it's really the only heavyish song on the album, so right now it's the only song I could name if I heard it on the radio or something. And Start the Machine because of that sound right at the start.

I pretty much just like the album as a whole, rather than having prefered songs on it.

[Reactor158]

I may sound ignorant, but, is the AVA album even out yet? If it was, I didn't know, since I haven't really been keeping up with all that stuff.

[CommieCanada]

I may sound ignorant, but, is the AVA album even out yet? If it was, I didn't know, since I haven't really been keeping up with all that stuff.
its officially out may 28th i think, but it leaked so everyone is just downloading it

[Dead Star]

I really liked the Transplants.

123, Their 2nd album is crap though.

[Bad Blood]

I don't like the Transplants, they bore me.

[Kif]

Both Transplants albums were amazing in my opinion. Some really fun songs on there.

[16 Nipples]

I didn't like the Transplants. Does anyone have Riding In Vans With Boys? If anyone does what is it like?

[chumpradio]

I have it, and I really like it.
It's got some really funny bits in it.

[Kif]

Anyone else think the video for "It Hurts" is weird as hell?

[Get Fighted]

I only watched a little because my pc has a habit of screwing itself in the as's but what i did see was strange.

[These_Green_Eyes]

123, Their 2nd album is crap though.

I agree. I didn't like their second album at all. Yet, the first one had some really cool songs on it.

[chumpradio]

Anyone else think the video for "It Hurts" is weird as hell?
Yeah, the random woman in leather just running around killing people was just plain weird.

[Bad Blood]

Anyone else think the video for "It Hurts" is weird as hell?

Yep.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I didn't actually like Blink that much but for some reason I kind of enjoy AVA. I know a lot of it is pretty much what would happen if Bono had played for Blink but I really enjoy listening to some of the songs like The Adventure.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Both Transplants albums were amazing in my opinion. Some really fun songs on there.


AHHH I hate The Transplants!!!!

Does anyone have Riding In Vans With Boys? If anyone does what is it like?

Ya I got it, I really liked that, it was really funny.

Anyone else think the video for "It Hurts" is weird as hell?
They have a video for It Hurts too? I only saw the one for The Adventure.

[form]

Killafornia pwns.

[DJ Ducksauce]

AVA is gonna tour with TBS and Head Automatica in North America.

Sweetness.

[yourstruly]

Does anyone see how the video for It Hurts has anything to do with the song?

EDIT:wrong song

[DJ Ducksauce]

There's one for the Gift already?

It Hurts was odd. Tom has a thing for n00dity it seems.

[B]

There's like 3 or 4 videos already :-\

What guy doesn't have a thing for nudity.

[DJ Ducksauce]

troof.

I saw It Hurts and was like oh, it's another naked girl.

[B]

Lmao.

I've only seen the Adventure. Videos don't interest me much. Unless we're talking about porn videos. Which, sadly, we are not.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Did you see the black and white version or the color?

They're different.

[punkrocker-182]

of the anventure?
Black & white.

[punkrocker-182]

OMG OMG!!! AvA is coming to Mesa AZ Jul 18!
I got to get Tickets.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They need to tour in Austin rather than at locations 2 1/2 hours away. :-\

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Where are dates? I want to see dates. I WILL be at the Chicago show on that tour. I'm so pumped for it. I'm seeing AVA on May 25th too.

NVM I got dates.

[yourstruly]

If they come to NZ i'll probably go, if I can afford tickets.

[B]

Did you see the black and white version or the color?

They're different.
Both

[punkrocker-182]

They've got new tour dates on their website.

Someone has died after the first AVA concert, and alot of people want Tom at the funeral.

[Bad Blood]

That's really bad :(

Knowing Tom, the only reason he'd go to the funeral is to get more respect from people, to build his ego.

/deja-vu :p

[Get Fighted]

I hope he doesn't go actually, it'll turn into a media event. A letter to the family would be good of him.

[punkrocker-182]

Wait i didn't c anything about AVA?
It said somthing about a freeway crash?

EDIT: Oh now i see it NVM
Yeah thats really bad. :(

[Pazz]

It just said that the kid was inspired by Tom Delonge.

[yourstruly]

That's pretty sad. I doubt Tom will have time to go to a funeral, and hopefully he realises if he went it would be a circus.

[Get Fighted]

Someone on the official AVA forums has told Tom's sister of the news and she is passing it on to Tom.

[2muchket!]

Seen both videos for the adventure. The colour reminds me of the yorkshire dales for some strange reason. Anyway I like AVA more of a mature sound IMO.

[punkrocker-182]

[punkrocker-182]

lol

[Surtr]

I'm listening to Down right now, and also the rest of the S/T album..I'm in a yet again sad mood, and it's a nice album to listen to when your in that mood. Everything Pre-Boxcar was something I listened to for fun, but all this other stuff is nice to listen to when your feeling down.

"Tidal Waves, They Rip Right Through Me, Tears From Eyes Worn, Cold And Sad, Pick Me Up Now, I Need You So Bad.."

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya, everything before the S/T is just real fun music, but the S/T is good when you're in kinda that sad mood. I don't like Down very much though.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Down is pretty neat live. Changed up a bit from S/T.

S/T was the album that got me into blink. I was a late starter. I used to listen to S/T tons.

[yourstruly]

How come it took you so long to find out about a band that's been around for over a decade and is extremely famous?

[DJ Ducksauce]

I'd heard all the small things, what's my age again, and mutt, but I didn't really get into them after hearing Feeling This and then actually buying a CD. Order of CD's bought by them: S/T, TOYPAJ, EOTS & Dude Ranch, then Cheshire Cat. So basically, almost in backwards order. I was also 13 or so when I did get into them, so that seems about right.

[Reactor158]

AVA is gonna tour with TBS and Head Automatica in North America.

Sweetness.

I would definitely go see that. I haven't heard any Head Automatica, but I'd still go just to see TBS and AVA.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I would definitely go see that. I haven't heard any Head Automatica, but I'd still go just to see TBS and AVA.
If I had the courage to drive in Houston or Dallas, I'd go too...

Boxcar Racer

[Ross]

Ya, everything before the S/T is just real fun music, but the S/T is good when you're in kinda that sad mood. I don't like Down very much though.

Truest words that can be spoke on Blink-182.

And I don't like down either. =p

[Pazz]

I'm not sure my exact order. I bought like 3 of them in a month period.

TOYPAJ
S/T
EOTS
Budda
Dude Ranch
Chesire Cat

That's close enough.

[B]

EOTS
MTATS
TOYPAJ
Box Car (I believe it was between TOYPAJ and S/T anyways)
S/T
Dude Ranch
Cheshire Cat
Buddha

I think.

[Pazz]

Oh, I didn't include Boxcar Racer. I got it after TOYPAJ, but before S/T.

I'm still yet to have a real copy of MTTS.

[chumpradio]

Enema
Dude Ranch
TOYPAJ
Cheshire Cat + Buddha on the same day
Boxcar
Self Titled
Mark Tom And Travis Show, which I have now lost. :(

[DJ Ducksauce]

Mark Tom And Travis Show, which I have now lost. :(
Ouch, you had a real copy too...

I downloaded that because you can't find it, and same with Flyswatter. I d/l'd Buddha because I couldn't find a copy when I wanted to buy it.

I can't remember when I bought BCR, but I got it in the Philippines over the summer of 04 I think.

[Pazz]

Didn't I send it to you? I know I sent Stew a copy, and I thought I sent another person it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Probably, I know I downloaded it though.

[punkrocker-182]

i got a real copy of MTATS,
they sell them @ a local record store called ZIAs for 8 bucks a pop. :thumb:
Any one else have a ZIAs in ther town?

[DJ Ducksauce]

Never heard of one. Only CD stores we have here are FYE and Sam Goody's. That doesn't include Wal-Mart, Circuit City, and Best Buy though.

[yourstruly]

I burnt my sisters EOTS CD, then ages after that I started downloading more of their songs, but I never downloaded anything off of TOYPAJ so I bought that one. Then I bought Lemmings and They Came to Conquer Uranus on Vinyl.
I think I've got every recorded Blink 182 song now, which is kind of a bummer cos I downloaded the magority of them. I will buy them all one day though.

[punkrocker-182]

I got Sam Goody also,
Good Place.

[Fire Away]

My uncle said I could keep his MTTS, but like 10 months later claimed he wanted it back. :angry:

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

For me it was:
Dude Ranch
The Mark, Tom and Travis Show
Take Off You Pants And Jacket
Enema Of The State
Boxcar Racer (They're close enough to blink)
blink-182
Chesire Cat + Buddha at the same time

And I've just Pre-Ordered the Angels & Airwaves album.

[yourstruly]

I like Blink-182 way more than Good Charlotte. When I actually had money to spend, I could of spent in on Blink CDS but no, I had too buyt all GCs ones instead..

[DJ Ducksauce]

I like Blink-182 way more than Good Charlotte. When I actually had money to spend, I could of spent in on Blink CDS but no, I had too buyt all GCs ones instead..
I remember liking GC. Those were dark times...

[yourstruly]

Thank **** for the internet/piracy, otherwise i'd be screwed.

[Ross]

GC? Dude.

*shudders*

[2muchket!]

Oh my god Good Charlotte :(

What c'rap they are

[punkrocker-182]

Yeah i used to like them,
But they lost it.

For me it was:
Dude Ranch
The Mark, Tom and Travis Show
Take Off You Pants And Jacket
Enema Of The State
Boxcar Racer (They're close enough to blink)
blink-182
Chesire Cat + Buddha at the same time

And I've just Pre-Ordered the Angels & Airwaves album.

Where did You Pre Order It?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I'm getting that Macbeth bundle thing: The shoes, AVA CD, and other random crap. My good friend 'Mum' is paying half for me. :D

[yourstruly]

how much is it?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I think it was $30 US, plus postage. So it ended up about $60 - $70 AUS for me.
Which I think is pretty good for shoes, a CD and other random crap.

[yourstruly]

yeah that is pretty good, I assume macbeth shoes are an expensive brand like DVS, Etnies etc..what's the random crap?, like AVA/Macbeth keyrings, stickers and stuff like that?

[Mitch2oo6]

Macbeth arent as expensive as DVS. Not by a long shot, or not where Im from anyway.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

yeah that is pretty good, I assume macbeth shoes are an expensive brand like DVS, Etnies etc..what's the random crap?, like AVA/Macbeth keyrings, stickers and stuff like that?

Exactly. Yes. And I think there is a voucher for 15% off from Looserkids.com, but I probably wont use it...

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya the pre-order bundle is a good deal, but I already have one pair of Macbeth's and there was only one other pair I liked in the bundle deal, and my friend got them before me and I don't feel like wearing the same shoes as him. So ya, I didn't do it.

[Ande12333]

yeah i got those.... haha zach i dunno if it really worked i dunno if its just not charging my card until i get it cause it was just like - 1.00 and that was it

[Surtr]

Hey..Anything new in the past 3-4 days?

[punkrocker-182]

Exactly. Yes. And I think there is a voucher for 15% off from Looserkids.com, but I probably wont use it...

Sound like a Sweet deal.

Yeah but after a day with no posts i get scared :eek:

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

October

Really!? I thought it was more like May or June or something....

I don't wanna wait 'til October...

[Surtr]

Really!? I thought it was more like May or June or something....

I don't wanna wait 'til October...
Suck it up.

[Get Fighted]

GIVE IT A NAME TOMMOROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Creams pants)

[Pazz]

Really!? I thought it was more like May or June or something....

I don't wanna wait 'til October...

And it will leak in like September.

[punkrocker-182]

GIVE IT A NAME TOMMOROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Creams pants)

U lucky...

[yourstruly]

Really!? I thought it was more like May or June or something....

I don't wanna wait 'til October...it's a rumoured album release month.

[Bad Blood]

On Blink s/t, after Violence, is that letter from Mark/Tom's mother (I forget) to their father...

The intro the 'A Little's Enough' reminds me so much of this, I can hear it in my head everytime I listen, it's so similar.

[Fire Away]

It's from Marks father to his mother :p

Still havn't heard the AVA album :(

[Surtr]

It's from Marks father to his mother :p

Still havn't heard the AVA album :(
It's from Marks GrandFather to his GrandMother...Or so I thought..I'm more than likely wrong though. Right now I've got a killer migrane. :angry:

[Bad Blood]

Pff, well it's a woman reading it.

[Pazz]

Stew is correct.

[B]

Pff, well it's a woman reading it.
It's not going to actually be one of his grandparents reading it :-\

It's from his grandfather to grandmother.

[Bad Blood]

I know it's not one of his grandparents reading it. Haha.

I just knew it was a letter from one of theirs' grandparents and I thought it might be from the grandmother because it was a female voice, but I then realised that it would be the one who received it.

Mhm. I'm really tired.

[Pazz]

I'm pretty sure Marks grandfather died in that war, I'm not certain.

[punkrocker-182]

Thats so sad :(

[Surtr]

Stew is correct.
Prize for biggest Blink nerd goes toooo: Me..lol

[Virus278]

Thats so sad :(

ya - that is really sad

[MattSharpIsCool]

Wait.....Plus 44 isnt coming out until October? Doubleyou Tee Eff I thought it and AVA were both coming out in May.

[Redlightextitsignpatisch]

I can't wait for Plus 44 now.

Because there is almost no hype coming from Mark/Travis, compared to what Tom was doing. Then he had to live up to it, which was almost impossible.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Yeah, I've got a feeling AVA isn't going to achieve 'World Domination', or whatever Tom was ****ting on about... Haha.

I am really looking forward to Plus 44, although I do really like Angels & Airwaves.

[Redlightextitsignpatisch]

Yeah, AvA is awesome, just not so awesome people are gonna go absolutely crazy about.

Plus 44 hasn't leaked or anything so far, which is building up a bit of hype. And because of the song No It Isn't and the amount of good feedback it's had etc it's looking like Plus 44 has lots of potential.

[Get Fighted]

AVA were amazing live but they only played five songs :mad: As soon as Tom came on stage everyone went crazy.

[Ross]

5 songs? rofl.

[Get Fighted]

Actually it was 6,

Valkyrie Missile
It Hurts
Distraction
Down/ The Adventure
Do It For Me Now
The War

It might be in that order, cant remember exactly. I managed to sneak into standing easily :cool:. Before they played The War (last song of the night) i was shouting "Play The Gift!" and i was crowd surfing before they played Valkyrie Missile.

EDIT: Having looked at some review thingy i remembered they did not play Do It For Me Now.

[FauxApathy]

I cannot stand AVA. The Plus44 song is very good, I'm looking forward to hearing more of that.

I knew this was going to happen. As soon as I heard they both had new bands, I knew I was going to love Mark's and hate Tom's. Tom is the suck.

[2muchket!]

I like AVA, but haven't heard owt from Plus44.

[Surtr]

So..Anthem is actually a really good song..It's been ages since I've last heard it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

So..Anthem is actually a really good song..It's been ages since I've last heard it.
Yes. All that album is good stuff.

[punkrocker-182]

AVA is really good, i like them so far. (i dont got the album but i do have the adventure, a quarter of valkrie missle, it hurts, and good day)

[Fire Away]

So..Anthem is actually a really good song..It's been ages since I've last heard it.
That used to be my favourite song of Enema, now I can't stand it. Same with Dysentary Gary.

[benbenben]

I haven't listnened to EOTS in ages.

I haven't actually listened to Blink in ages, heh.

Nope.

Maybe.

More people play gigs there though.

[punkrocker-182]

How much did the tickets cost?

[16 Nipples]

Dam right Ill be buying tickets for there as soon as they come out. Tickets cost £15 at the Barrowlands anywayz

[Dead Star]

:eek:

I'm not the only Scottish person here?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Does anyone know what the astonauts are saying at the begining of Valkyrie Missile? Or where I can find out?

So far all I've got is:

"Can you hear me out there? I can hear you."
"I've got you, I can hear you, over."
"Blah blah blah, strange."
"I wanna wish for something new." ???
"This is the scariest thing I've ever done in my life."
"Who do we think we are?"
"We're Angles and Airwaves."
Etc, etc.
Or something along those lines...

Help me... Please?

[16 Nipples]

:eek:

I'm not the only Scottish person here?

Correct. Im from Edinburgh :chug:

[Bad Blood]

Lol, Scots.

Edit: Rikki, one of our friends on MySpace met Mark Hoppus at Travis' DC Shoe Signing Party in Corona, CA.

"He mentioned that Travis and he were in the studio the night before and that he had the album in his ipod and that it is expected to drop in October!"

Now both Mark and Travis have said to expect in October.

So yeah, October it is then.

[Bad Blood]

Interesting fact right here:

Tom made the intro to Start The Machine playing on his kids' toy piano whilst "sitting" in his bathroom, haha.

[Get Fighted]

And he bought it at a toy shop next to the ice cream parlour where he takes Ava.





Im such a fanboy :upset:

[Bad Blood]

Haha, my mate just told me. He's the biggest fan boy I know.

[form]

Stockholm Syndrome is tied for the best Blink song for me.

I wish more of the choruses were like the one in SS.

[Bad Blood]

Stockholme Syndrome is amazing. The best song from S/T definately.

[form]

For me its either that, or Asthenia, not sure.

[punkrocker-182]

Yeah those are the two best songs on ST...

Hey this is so cool i just got tickets to the AVA concert to the Mesa AZ Concert!!!

[diego182]

hey im a blink 182 fan, but can someone tell me why they are so cool

many people tell me, yea blink 182 sUck, and i think they do, but damn, i love them.

any good reason they are cool to listen?

First of all, lol at that post.

But I don't know, who cares about what other people think about music you like/listen to.

I dunno, catchy?

You confuse me.

blink may not have much musical talent, but the way that Tom and Mark trade off in some songs is really cool and like Mattay said, they are really catchy.

And don't always go with what other people say. If you like a band, defend it for Christ's sake.

[punkrocker-182]

I Like All Catchy Stuff More Than Talent, I mean if there's talent in the catchy stuff i might like it, but thats why i like punk-rock because i don't care much for solos and what not.

[Bad Blood]

They're so good because they're pop punk, and they know how to do that so so well.

Pop punk isn't complicated, it's simple, but when some of the chords sequences are really effective. Plus, Tom and Mark's singing and lyrics are always to do with growing up and whatenot, in early-er blink, they sing about what probably all teenagers think. Plus their sense of humor, they never hold back in songs or anything. It's probably just my oppinion, but Blink is mainly effective because of it's vocals.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I agree with that.
I first got into blink coz Tom's voice gave me an erection...
I then discovered a love for Mark's singing.
They are, by far, my favourite vocalists ever. And they are both in the same band! Well, were...
I'm sure ALOT of people disagree with me, but I love 'em both.
Oh, and Travis adds some pretty sweet, and interesting beats to thier songs.
Which makes it more fun to listen to.

[Surtr]

I'm listening to Man Overboard :)

[itsallfake]

I hate to burst everybody's bubble, but I saw AVA at Earls Court in London a couple days ago and they blew. Delonge came across like some delusional rock star, and bored 3/4 of the arena to sleep. While they did actually play, they also played to loops and loops of recorded material, including some vocals. At one point Delonge turned his back on the mic and you could still hear his vocals, and I'm not talking about echo or delay. I'm not a hater. I like Blink a lot and wish Tom all the best; but he needs to come back down to earth and realize that he is a mere mortal.

[Bad Blood]

Heh, who cares?

At GIAN they were awesome apparently.

[chumpradio]

They were amazing at GIAN.
Tom's solo rendition of Down as an intro to The Adventure was so good.

[Untitled]

I cant wait to see them, but, im not expected loads from them tbh.

[Bad Blood]

Tom doing down.

Hmm.. he sounds a bit retarded a bit more into the song, but his singing has improved a hell of a lot.

wow, Tom sucks live, compared to other live vids/tracks I've heard from Blink.

Plus the whole beginning I got bored...

I wouldn't wanna see them live if it were like that :-/

Erm.. ok?

[Get Fighted]

Heh, who cares?

Yes. They were.

Who else thinks that a lot of the breakdowns in AVA sound really similar?

I find that the drummer uses a lot of the same technique in the breakdowns.

Its Marks own podcast, I just saw it today, but am too lazy to use it.

So I thought I'd post it.

[itsallfake]

"apparently" is the key word. i was there and they sucked bad. they put everybody to sleep. Tom thinks he's the greatest thing to ever happen to music and I really think he's delusional. i can understand wanting to distance himself as much as possible from Blink, but trying to come across as God's gift to music is almost as comical as the bathroom humor that he espoused while in that band.

[punkrocker-182]

Yes. They were.

Wasn't that video @ the GIAN or not?

[Bad Blood]

Breakdowns? haha.

I couldn't find a better word to describe it.

Know what I mean though? The drummer uses a lot of the same rhythm in a lot of the bits where it's slower I guess. Plus he always goes into using his toms and bass the same way.

And yes, that video was at GIAN.

[16 Nipples]

I see where your coming from. I thought the same with the Boxcar Racer album, alot of the bridges sound kinda similar. Its the only negative I can say for the Boxcar album though.

Just ordered my AVA tickets for the 14th of June:cool:

[Bad Blood]

On here is a few AVA videos from GIAN.

[MattSharpIsCool]

He still doesnt sound all that great.

Still kinda neat though.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

He sounds like he has a cold...
He's not too bad, he used to be pretty good live back around the Dude Ranch/Enema era. But he's never been a particually brilliant singer.

Useless peice of imformation:
I've been called Tom Delonge by 12 random strangers this week. I even signed autographs for him last Tuesday. It's really, really odd. I live in Australia dammit.
Anyways...

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Mmm, 'tis rather. It's pretty fun though, I like attention, Haha. :p
Back on topic...
What d'ya you think AVA's second single will be?
I think it's pretty likely that 'It Hurts' will be it, as it is already up on the official site, featured with a 'Short Film'.
All the songs have the potential to be a single. It's hard to guess which ones they will choose. I think 'Valkyrie Missile' will be a single eventually, as Tom wanted it to be the first single.

[Get Fighted]

Yeah it will be It Hurts most probably.

[Bad Blood]

Well it will be if there's a video.

I think if Tom released Valkyrie Missile first, not as many people would have high hopes, but The Adventure was amazing.

[Get Fighted]

Yeah, i remember when we wanted him to release it on his birthday. Suppose its a good job he didn't then.

Also i just downloaded What Went Wrong, it is incredible. I heard it on my Mates PSP yesterday and i fell in love with it straight away.
