Official Blink 182 Thread

[Black Ink]

I'm glad I'm not the only ex-Blink fan who isn't excited about the new AVA album. Frankly I didn't care for anything I heard by them and unless the album comes into the station and I listen to it in the office then I probably wont get my hands on it ever.

I alteast like Plus44's song that come out, and I've always preferred Mark over Tom. That album I'm more interested in and I might see them live if they came by and were under $20 to see. Atleast I'd get to see Mark and Travis again. I saw Blink prefer a year before they broke up. It was my third time seeing them.

[yourstruly]

Plus 44 will be crud. I hate electronica.

[Untitled]

+44 will own AVA. AVA was a huge letdown.

Plus. Mark>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tom


I saw blink on there last ever tour.

[Bad Blood]

Mark>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tom


Haha, some Tom fanboy is going to come along and hunt you down now.

Haha, some Tom fanboy is going to come along and hunt you down now.
or one of my mates lol, i know she would :smash:

[Kif]

The thing is, I truely believe Travis affected Tom's writing, and held him back. It seems that when he came along for EOTS, they got mega-poppy, and although this improved, the same can be said for Box Car Racer as well. Now Travis is gone, I think Tom's vision of what he wants to write can be done, and I'm really happy with it. It's great to just listen to and not care about how good the lyrics are, or how impressive the musicianship is. Truth be told it's a good record.

Plus 44 didn't impress me with their song (I can't even remember what it was called), but I'm not basing my judgement of them on that. When the album is released, then I will decide.

/me saw Blink on their last ever tour too

I agree pretty much. Atom Willard seems to be a lot more suited to the music that Tom wants to make as well.
Travis would always try to put in drum fills which sometimes wouldn't fit the style of song, they just showed off his talent, whereas Atom seems to fit the songs perfectly on AVA's album.

/me also saw Blink at the same tours :cool:

[Bad Blood]

Yeah Travis was more of a show off, than someone to care about the song really. The way he looked too, h I guess he like to be the one who people looked at 'cause he looked loads different to the others...

Well, it's a possibility :p

/didn't see them on their last tour :upset:

[Black Ink]

Yeah see, I didn't really enjoy BCR all the much, but what I did like was a lot of the drum parts in the album.

:-/

[form]

I like Toms voice better when he sang in Blink songs, cause it sounds better imo, the whiny and shi I like, but Marks voice is good in some songs.

[yourstruly]

+44 will own AVA. AVA was a huge letdown.

Plus. Mark>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tom


I saw blink on there last ever tour.Did Mark and Tom seem very friendly with each other at that show?

[Untitled]

Did Mark and Tom seem very friendly with each other at that show?
They acted how they acted at all the other shows. Apart from the first tour i saw them begining of 04, they said nothing to each other, end of 04 tour, there was a lot of banter and they acted like usual.

[Dead Star]

oshi I'm seeing AVA support the Foo Fighters in London.

[cobert]

Tom is a tool now. AVA is garbage.

Haha, i'm still have one of the higer post counts in this thread, and i havent posted in it for such a long time.

[Bad Blood]

Haha, I bet Tom isn't very happy supporting all the time now. He used to always be a big headline act.

[Get Fighted]

It was really weird to see him 3rd-to-last at GIAN. But for most bands to play that high would be a dream.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Back to the Travis topic, he was my least favorite out of blink. I would have preferred Scott way over him just because Scott fits with the band so much better.

[Bad Blood]

But it's Tom Delonge, he's already famous.

For a smaller band not many people have heard of, yeah, that's good.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Everyone has heard of AVA though. I mean I see tons of people with them on their myspaces and such. It's insane. They're probably one of the most hyped up bands before anyone had even heard anything by them.

[Dead Star]

AVA is possibly the most overhyped band, ever.

[Bad Blood]

Yeah, but only to people who understand stuff...

To be fair, most of Tom's fans bow down to his feet and think everything he does is amazing whatever it would be. So they wouldn't think it's overhyped, which, by majority, means it isn't overhyped, which is bad bacause it is :)

[theclash91]

i really like the drumming in the new AVA cd it's not much of a difference with Travis, except he's not showing off as much

[Bad Blood]

I tihnk the drumming in AvA goes really well. I love the sound of them too. It's different.

[bassist_for_a_band]

It may have been said before... But I think the only real good talent in blink was Travis. Mark and Tom were really good and knew enough of what they were doing... But I don't know if they were a match for Travis. It still sucks that they went on hiatus and all though

[Bad Blood]

They all had lots of talent. Mark and Tom had amazing talent to make pop punk the way they did. They practically helped it evolve.

On the other hand, Travis had more technical ability.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Yeah, Travis had more talent playing wise, but I did not like him at all. Mark and Tom were awesome. They were good at making songs and making them good songs even though they weren't difficult.

[Pazz]

Travis had the most talent of all 3 of them, but he doesn't have a whole lot of talent. He does the same thing in so many songs.

[Untitled]

I think if your talking talent wise, Marks writing ripped shreds out Trav's drumming.

[Pazz]

Well I meant instrument talent.

[yourstruly]

Tom's quite a good guitarist. Some of his riffs are hard as.

[DJ Ducksauce]

They're good, but they're not that complicated to play really. They're good by his standards though.

ie:
Wasting Time
Boring

[bassist_for_a_band]

Yea if anything, they didn't really show what they could do... Like my band's covered Dammit, First Date, and All The Small Things, and touched into What's My Age Again... None of it's really technical or difficult. I personally think that if they wanted to, they could mix it up and make some sweet stuff... But hey, whatever works for them.

[yourstruly]

Alot of there pre EOTS stuff is a little bit technical on guitar, i'm struggling to play some of it. It took me a while to get the intro for What's my age again.

[form]

haha

[punkrocker-182]

I got All of EOTS learned exept wendy clear.

[Bad Blood]

Wendy Clear is one of the easiest songs on there.

[DJ Ducksauce]

You can learn a lot of blink guitar just by ear.

[Dead Star]

You can learn a lot of the basslines by ear too, I can play through the whole EOTS album :D

[DJ Ducksauce]

Well yeah, Mark really doesn't have any complicated lines really.

[punkrocker-182]

Wendy Clear is one of the easiest songs on there.

i know im just to lazy to get the tabs.

[Get Fighted]

How long have you been playing?

Also who agrees that The Gift is the best AVA song?

[Untitled]

Anyone agree that AVA have realy crappy song names?

[Kif]

I like "The War" and "Valkleajilfhjeailf Missile", but the rest are crap.

So my friend went into HMV the other day, and he saw The Mark, Tom and Travis Show. He bought it since it's out of print and he needed it. Either way, he went back there today, and they had like 10 copies of it. Is it being repressed or something?

[Untitled]

Thats odd, ill check the HMV in manchester, its HUGE, if they have it in there, then maybe so.

There nothing on the site.

[form]

Tom DeLonge is super-psyched about his new band, Angels & Airwaves, and its debut album. That's why on the day "We Don't Need To Whisper" was released, he's turned into a human quote-machine, according to MTV.com.

"When we were making this record, I remember one night, it was about 2 a.m. and I went into the studio — which was in my house — and it was pitch black and I put the record on and listened to it, and I had this overwhelming rush of emotions," he said. "I was like, 'Oh my God, this is going to be huge,' and I started having these panic attacks thinking about every country in the world wanting us there multiple times. Conquering the globe is a pretty large endeavor."

And you can't blame him for being excited. After all, Whisper has been an endeavor almost a year in the making, and in the time since he first announced he was starting the record, he's been peppering the media with statements of its sheer awesomeness.

"People ask me, 'Is this the next Box Car Racer album?,' and I say, 'Kind of.' And people ask me if this is the next Blink record, and I say, 'Kind of.' But it's also the beginning of something completely new," DeLonge laughed. "This band contains an inner energy and a spiritual awakening that's kind of magical. And it's so full of positive energy that I think that whoever comes to the shows or listens to the album and wants to become a part of it, it will happen to them. I think it's going to be a sort of magical, organic thing that happens with anybody that is willing to have that kind of feeling in their life."

A&A will launch an American tour alongside Taking Back Sunday next month. What can fans expect when they come to an Angels show? You probably can guess Tom DeLonge's answer.

"These shows have been incredible. ... They're so much different than Blink shows," he said. "They're anthemic and heroic. There's a huge group of people coming to feel the exact same thing at the exact same minute. And it really feels like an ascension to heaven. People are lifting off the ground. There are people crying, and there are these battle flags flying in the wind. It's incredible."

First bold: What a douche.
Second-: What the hell?
Thirdbold: What a douche.

[Dead Star]

Tom is turning into gheyness.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Also who agrees that The Gift is the best AVA song?
Haven't listened to them enough to care really.

[Kif]

I'm ignoring Tom Delonge's antics at the moment. He's clearly over-enthusiastic about this, but still, that's no reason to act like he's a prophet or something.

[punkrocker-182]

do you guys reckon Blink would of been better off not signing to a major label?

Not at all, because if they hadn't, there's a big chance I (And many others in this thread) would never have heard about them. Mainstream pop-punk wouldn't be the same in my opinion

Maybe HMV found old stock or something..

[yourstruly]

Does anyone here have the clips from Blinks 1997 Warped Tour show and know what order it goes in?

[Kif]

On that HMV site, it says TMTTS was released on Island. But I have the CD, and it clearly says MCA. Either there's something very dodgy with this new-found copy of the CD, or Island somehow got the rights to sell the CD

[yourstruly]

Wikipedia says it was released on MCA.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Who are blink currently signed to? Or were before the 'hiatus'? I could just check the CD, but I'm lazy. If it is Island, maybe they have the right to sell TMTATS? If not, my theory's rooted up the ***.

[Pazz]

Geffen

[punkrocker-182]

Geffen, on the S/T and Greatest Hits CD,
But MCA on all the rest.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Oh yeah, I knew that.
Then where the hell do Island come into it?
There's something going on there...

[yourstruly]

Do island and MCA(geffen) have any sort of partnership type things going on?

[Kif]

Geffen, on the S/T and Greatest Hits CD,
But MCA on all the rest.
Geffen bought the Music Cemetery of America, so they own rights to all Blink's albums (Except Buddha and Cheshire Cat, they were on Kung Fu I think)

[Get Fighted]

From tomsangels.com

Tom Delonge on whether "No It Isn't" is about him:
"I don’t know their intentions. They're probably hurt by the whole thing. It was probably tough on them like it was myself. I haven’t talked to them in over a year so I don’t know where they're coming from and I don’t know what they mean. They have their own choices of how they want to present their music and how they want to debut their band so I can't look into why they do what they do."

[Pazz]

Wasn't there an article about Tom talking to Mark and everything is fine between them again.

[Bad Blood]

Yeah, I think so.

I don't think Tom could really care less about Mark/Trav anymore tbh.

[Pazz]

Well there was talks about them releasing that demo CD after this is all over. But that is probably a rumor and many other things that have been said probably are. That's why you don't believe everything the internet tells you.

[Bad Blood]

lolz internets.

I doubt there'll be a demo CD. It would be a bit : / if there was though.

I mean, it's not like it'll be the real Blink after everything that's happened - the music won't be as good.

[DJ Ducksauce]

You can't believe the internet?

Oh no, my life is ruined. :(

[Pazz]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plus_44

As of May 16th, 2006, Mark is still recording songs for +44. During his 15th podcast, he talked about their newest song, "Lillian", which, according to Mark, will "kick a million asses."

Uh oh, Mark is doing what Tom did, just not quite as bad.

[Bad Blood]

Not as much as Tom though.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

And not in such a serious manner.

[Pazz]

Yeah. I'm looking forward to Plus 44.

[Bad Blood]

Me too. I have a lot of respect for Mark.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I'm looking forward to Plus 44 too, I think I will like Plus 44 and AVA the same. I don't think I will favor one band.

[Pazz]

I think I will favour Plus 44 over AVA, but I can't assume things, I may hate +44 when I hear them, but I loved No It Isn't.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Ya I did too. Do you like AVA though?

[Get Fighted]

I believe you saw AVA a couple of days back, how was it?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Yes yes I did, I saw them on Thursday and it was at a really small venue which was awesome. We got there 6 hours before the doors opened and were about 15 kids back from the front. It was sold out and packed and there was only one warm up band called Moth who sucked big time. But then AVA came out and it was awesome. It was really good but the crowd really wasn't into it, everyone was pushing and stuff but nobody was going crazy, like there was about 15 kids there from my school and all of us were going crazy but other than that people were just standing there, and most people didn't even know the words to the songs. They played everything off We Don't Need To Whisper and they played There Is, and Down. I almost got a pick and I gave Tom a high five. Overall awesome night.

[Get Fighted]

Sweet, i can't wait till they play the Manchester Academy. I will be sooooooooo there.

I remember the time i saw them at GIAN, amazing night. I wished they played The Gift though :upset:

[Pazz]

Ya I did too. Do you like AVA though?

Yes.


(I posted that a long time ago, but it didn't appear)

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Hmmm that's odd.

Ya they played The Gift, it was sweet.

I'm seeing them again with Taking Back Sunday, Head Automatica, and The Subways, on June 30th.

[Get Fighted]

Aw man, thats gonna be an amazing show. Have fun :chug:

EDIT: I downloaded The Adventure instrumental earlier today, if anyones interested i can upload it.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Well I will, but it's outside in like a stadium so there will be thousands of people there so that will decrease the awesomeness of that concert considerably.

[Pazz]

Yeah, they are playing in Toronto in June outside. I could probabl go, but I don't really want to.

Has anyone here looked way to much into the song "Man Overboard"s meaning?. If so some info would be rad.

I'm guessing it's about Scott, just don't understand some of the lines.

Well, it's just the song with no lyrics. It's interesting.

[Tooth Ache]

[Surtr]

...Explain...

[Bad Blood]

These days?

When were the old days of Plus 44 / AvA?

[yourstruly]

haha, when were they not depressed?

[Surtr]

These days?

When were the old days of Plus 44 / AvA?
The old days were last week :p

[yourstruly]

Mark and Tom are both depressed about Blink-182 ending, even if they don't show it. Mark "No it isn't"..Tom "it hurts"..

[Surtr]

Tom: It Hurts
Mark: Shut up
Tom: Do it for me now!
Mark: Stop using your song names to talk to me...
Tom: Start the machine (gun)
Mark: Shut UP!
Tom: Good Day
Mark: NO IT ISN'T!
Tom: lolololol you did it this time!

[Bad Blood]

The old days were last week :p
Haha

Tom: It Hurts

Tom: Good Day
Mark: NO IT ISN'T!
Tom: lolololol you did it this time!

Rofl, Tom isn't that immature now.

[yourstruly]

He says he's still pretty immature. Other than the fact that he's got kids now.

[Surtr]

Rofl, Tom isn't that immature now.
True, Oh wellz :p

Now he thinks he's a space man.

Those are the choices in life eh?

Immature or space man.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Tom: It Hurts
Mark: Shut up
Tom: Do it for me now!

Tom: Start the machine (gun)
Mark: Shut UP!
Tom: Good Day
Mark: NO IT ISN'T!
Tom: lolololol you did it this time!
lmao :lol:

[Get Fighted]

Mark: Shut up


:eek: Thats a Blink song!

[Tooth Ache]

anyone else think Mark singing about wrist slitting is a little creepy?

he's mid 30s right? their veins should be immune to knives.

[Get Fighted]

Most people said that Plus 44 was emo after hearing that line.

[Tooth Ache]

yeah, I think any wrist slitting in music is a one way ticket to emoshire.

[Get Fighted]

I don't think so....

[Tooth Ache]

ok, give me reasons.

[Get Fighted]

So you're telling me if a band mentions the words "slit" and "wrists" in a song that automatically makes it emo? Emo means emotional hardcore as alot of people know and im sure No It Isnt is not hardcore. Theres my reason.

Besides, Mark is just expressing himself. You try losing your best friend who you have known for more than a decade and watch your band which happens to be one of the biggest in the world be torn apart in front of you, would you be upset?

[DJ Ducksauce]

:eek: Thats a Blink song!
I was going to say that, but I decided not to since it was blink and not P44.

[Pazz]

Tom: It Hurts
Mark: Shut up
Tom: Do it for me now!
Mark: Stop using your song names to talk to me...
Tom: Start the machine (gun)
Mark: Shut UP!
Tom: Good Day
Mark: NO IT ISN'T!
Tom: lolololol you did it this time!

:lol: That was good.

[Virus278]

Rocket is seriously a stupid name. AVA is a rad name though.

hmm, people could call tom's son Rock for short. Now that's a cool name - there's a kid at my school called Rock...but he plays bass not guitar lol

[doubleawesome]

[Surtr]

:lol: This thread is full of n00bs :p

[yourstruly]

It's a blink 182 thread. I wouldn't expect different. But the magority of the posters in this thread are pretty decent.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I'm listening to Dude Ranch right now. I forgot the greatness that is Josie. :D

[Ross]

Enema > all other ways of having your bumhole washed out

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha, I'm just finishing that album up.

I'm debating with myself whether I like DR or EOTS more. Both are ace albums, well, so are the others, but I think those 2 are the best.

[Ross]

I couldn't agree more, they're certainly the best two Blink CDs in my opinion. I usually swagger towards EOTS, simply for the drumming, but I do kinda like the less well engineered DR; it has a kinda back-to-basics grainyness sound that I really love.

[Surtr]

Dude Ranch.

Plain and simple good album.

[punkrocker-182]

what about TOYPAJ? thats exactly like EOTS.

[Bad Blood]

I think it's quite different. I love both albums.

[form]

I think toypaj is my favorite...

edit:

and yet I can't find it, this is the third time I've lost it and had to dl a new one :angry:

[Bad Blood]

Ow, it's not easy is it? :p

[form]

haha no but no worries, I found it!

























and no, its not broken in half :(

[Bad Blood]

lmaoI was looking through the old thread and came across this ace post:

The eaisest Guitar riff from Blink is Dammit. And if you like blink and you play guitar u should learn to play this and if you cant play it that means you suck

omgz

[form]

lol

[Dead Star]

hXc

[Surtr]

ROFLCOPTER!

(First time I ever felt the need to use that :p)

I love n00bz who talk about Blink and guitars :)

[yourstruly]

EOTS and DR are the albums that I would recommend to someone trying to get into Blink-182.

[punkrocker-182]

I think toypaj is my favorite...

123

[yourstruly]

why one 123?. It's a bit too poppy in my opinion.

[DJ Ducksauce]

TOYPAJ is really fun, and the Bonus songs are cool too. Especially What Went Wrong. That song owns. I love that CD a lot, but some of the songs towards the end and Online Songs were a let down for me.

[form]

why one 123?. It's a bit too poppy in my opinion.

123 cause hes aloud to have an opinion aswell :smash:

[yourstruly]

actually, I have no idea whay 123 means.

[form]

123

(I agree)

[yourstruly]

uh yeah.

[form]

I agree=123

It was hidden in the post...

actually, I have no idea whay 123 means.
so thats why you put
why one 123

ok now I get it

[yourstruly]

oh ok,. magical, so yeah. Blink-182 are good.

[Virus278]

He typed it like ben haha.

oh ya lol

- I actually like DR more than EOTS. I also like the s/t album more than EOTS - DR and the s/t are probably my two favorite albums even tho all off the albums kick ***

[Virus278]

The eaisest Guitar riff from Blink is Dammit. And if you like blink and you play guitar u should learn to play this and if you cant play it that means you suck



I actually remember when he said that lol

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I go through stages.
TOYPAJ was my favourite about two years ago, then Enema was for a while, then Dude Ranch, then back to TOYPAJ. At the moment I am physically in love with Untitled. But "The Fallen Interlude" just pisses me off. Seriously, the album would be a 10/10 for me, but with TFI it goes down to about a 7. Also, I dislike the ending to Down, and it ruins an amazing song for me. It's all to 'techno' for me.

[yourstruly]

The albums I would put on first if I had a choice are and always will be Dude Ranch or Enema of the State. But I really love all of Blinks albums.

[chumpradio]

Where is the love for Cheshire Cat in this thread? Amazing album.
Yesterday and today I've been listening to Blink for the first time in ages.

[Surtr]

oh ya lol

- I actually like DR more than EOTS. I also like the s/t album more than EOTS - DR and the s/t are probably my two favorite albums even tho all off the albums kick ***
Agreed. Quoted For Truth.

EOTS is good, but not as good as Dude Ranch or S/T.
Chesire Cat is a bit to..Not right sounding for me?

[Ross]

I have not the Cat, nor Buddha.

Hence no opinion.

[Untitled]

I actully cannot put the albums in order of goodness, i know Dude Ranch would be first though.

[Bad Blood]

I don't really like Cheshire Cat. It bores me.

[Surtr]

Dude Ranch > S/T > EOTS > TOYPAJ?

[Dead Star]

/Agrees

[Bad Blood]

Yeah, I pretty much agree.

[chumpradio]

Cheshire Cat > Dude Ranch > Enema > S/T > Buddha > TOYPAJ

That's only the actual studio albums though, not sure where TMTATS would come in.

[Ross]

S/T is still the one I like the least out of them all. Too many shïtty memories go with it, and it's just not my thing.

[These_Green_Eyes]

TOYPAJ is really fun, and the Bonus songs are cool too. Especially What Went Wrong. That song owns. I love that CD a lot, but some of the songs towards the end and Online Songs were a let down for me.

Wow. I personally love Online Songs. Gets me so hyper.

[punkrocker-182]

Wow. I personally love Online Songs. Gets me so hyper.

Im listening to that right now. :)

I dont listen to Cheshire Cat or Budda much, the album recordings sound alot diffrent that normal albums.

[Bad Blood]

Ha, because the recordings aren't as perfected as others makes you not listen to them? : /

[Virus278]

Cheshire Cat > Dude Ranch > Enema > S/T > Buddha > TOYPAJ

That's only the actual studio albums though, not sure where TMTATS would come in.

um - what's TMTATS again?

[form]

Mark Tom and Travis show...

[Get Fighted]

The S/T is my favourite, easily.

[Pazz]

Toypaj > Eots > Dr > S/t > Cc > B

[16 Nipples]

I think Enema and Dude Ranch are the best no doubt. TOYPAJ is good, but some of the songs sound kind of 'fake' as if it wasnt natural for them to write them but they kinda forced themselevs to write them. It also has some classics though eg STFTK, What Went Wrong?, Anthem Part II, Story of A Lonely Guy etc. I think Cheshire Cat is really good, as with Buddah, especially "Don't" and "21 Days"

[Dead Star]

I like the original version of Carousel and Strings from Buddha.

[punkrocker-182]

Ha, because the recordings aren't as perfected as others makes you not listen to them? : /

sorta, but the first album i might record will probably not be perfected. :)
it's also like the tone of the instruments, and the songs are a bit boring. i just never grew up to like that style of blink.

[These_Green_Eyes]

I like the original version of Carousel and Strings from
Buddha.

I like the original version of Carousel from Buddah, but I prefer the Cheshire Cat version of Strings.

[punkrocker-182]

Tom DeLonge and his wife Jennifer are expecting their second child in late July/early August. Jennifer just announced that she's 3 months along while doing promotions for her new baby furniture line.

It's a boy! Big sister Ava is expecting a little brother in early August. Tom refers to the baby as "his son Rocket" in the liner notes for his album with new band Angels and Airwaves.


:eek: Thats cool, Jen's doing a line of baby furniture. lol :thumb:

[Virus278]

Mark Tom and Travis show...

Oh ya, didn't even think of that album for some reason - since it's live I I guess I just didn't think of it.......yuno cause it doesn't really have any original songs exept for Man Overboard. But ya, it's a great album

[Virus278]

ya, "21 Days" is a great song. I also really like "The Girl Next Door" from Buddha

[punkrocker-182]

I think "Point of Veiw"(Buddha) is a rad song. it's really short though.

[form]

Yeah I love that song, probably fav off Buddah.

[Get Fighted]

:eek: Thats cool, Jen's doing a line of baby furniture. lol :thumb:

And Rockets....

[Bad Blood]

I'm going to listen to TOYPAJ for the first time in ages now.

[Get Fighted]

Listen to Online Songs! I love that song.

[Bad Blood]

Same here.

Now I rememeber why I loved this album so much.

Awesome.

[Get Fighted]

Im really pumped for Plus 44 right now, i KNOW they are going to kick ***.
