Hahaha.

You can have it if you want...;)

[sid121]

hmm...hard decision there...but I think I'll pass.
Anyone else want it? Its from Mark?



No?

[formofshark]

wtf

[sid121]

Wha?!
I was going to buy Cheshire Cat today, didn't have enough money. I was like noooo. It was only £4.99.

[formofshark]

i bought my cheshire cat for $20

and dude ranch for $20

[AZNMan#2]

i bought my cheshire cat for $20

and dude ranch for $20
Haha, that's way too much.

I got mine for like $10-$15 each, and that was from FYE.

[formofshark]

haha i know, i just wanted them badly, and it was the only music store at the mall, and i got it from fye aswell wtf

[AZNMan#2]

Haha, when did you buy them.

I bought them a while after I got S/T, so that might be why.

[formofshark]

hmm, i know i bought them after the s/t too, so im not sure

it wasnt recent, cause now dl ftw

[AZNMan#2]

oic, woo, I bet I bought it during a sale or summat.

Yes indeed.

[B]

why is this thread still here?

[AZNMan#2]

why is this thread still here?
Because blink 182 rooolz your sox off B.

And people like me keep it alive. :)

[B]

It should have died back when I spammed it like crazy and all the noobs were like "omg stfu blink rools"

[AZNMan#2]

It should have died back when I spammed it like crazy and all the noobs were like "omg stfu blink rools"
It should have, but now we can complain about how bad we think AVA's CD is and how hard we think P44's new albums is gonna own. :)

[B]

but like

no one cares about either band anymore

[AZNMan#2]

Well everyone in this thread cares about P44 k? Except maybe you. But you're special. :)

[B]

P44 is going to suck nuts now that they don't have whats her face.

They'll be even more boring and generic than AVA

[AZNMan#2]

I know, but I have some hope in them because they still have Mark.

I hate how they added the new guys, and I don't care for Travis much.

[sid121]

I hate how they added the new guys, and I don't care for Travis much.

Don't make me cry, I love Travis:]...the other guys suck though.

[AZNMan#2]

Don't make me cry, I love Travis:]...the other guys suck though.
But he seems like such a douche...

And his reality show sucked...

[B]

Don't make me cry, I love Travis:]...the other guys suck though.
Travis sucks elephant balls.

[sid121]

noooooo...he's an amazing drummer. Why shouldn't I like him for what he's produced with Transplants, Blink and BCR? I'm not really bothered if he's a **** or anything.

[formofshark]

But he seems like such a douche...

hahaha man

i love when people use douche, its such a good word

i dont mind travis

its tom thats faggin up ava with his speeches or whatever

[B]

I can't stand people who are pricks, whether they're good musicians or not.

I hope by amazing you mean above average at best.

[sid121]

Tom has gone all spacey, its kinda strange. All like spiritual and so my magazine said he has 'matured'. Well its not for the best, obviously!

[B]

Maturity is better than being a fag. People need to grow up. 30 year olds who think they're still 13 are rediculous.

[sid121]

Haha...it was funny while it lasted. Yeh I guess it is about time really.

[AZNMan#2]

I think Tom took the maturity thing too seriously though. He did need to grow up, but that doesn't mean you can't make fun music still.

[sid121]

Yerrrr, instead of all this stuff with intro's which are like a minute long. Grr I hate long intro's!!

[AZNMan#2]

I don't mind long intros. Tom just needs to learn to make them more interesting rather than the same thing on a loop.

[sid121]

Yeh thats definatley something I noticed. Something with a bit more "umf" in it. At least something to get the crowd going. I couldn't imagine going to one of their gigs. Would you just have you lighters out constantly?

[B]

Yerrrr, instead of all this stuff with intro's which are like a minute long. Grr I hate long intro's!!
Haha intro's tend to be one of the best parts of a pop-punk song. Except like, not when they're boring as ****.

[Snowball Fight]

nooooooooooooooo I wasnt here for 10,000th...bummer, AZNMan...looks like your getting the BJ.
Gosh I worked so hard to get it to the number it's at
hmpf...

Has anyone seen this interview before....?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JU8Dp6xeUQo&search=Blink%20182

I found it hilarious and really interesting. I enjoy watching old Blink lots more for some reason

[Surtr]

Not the best Blink interview. I lol'd at the part where Mark turned around and said whatever about "Scott" even though he wasn't there. Other than that it was kinda' boring.

Haha, I found it hilarious and interesting as well. I think the entire thing was great, with the beggining and all. Probably one of my favorite interviews by them. I don't know why.

[AZNMan#2]

Did you mean to change the intro riff?

Do you have 2 vocalists? It almost sounds like it.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Haha thats a good interview.

"He's not there, thats what makes it funny"

/drops drink

"You are the dumbest guy ever"

Rolling On Floor Laughing.

[yourstruly]

Good interview. It's cool how back then they were more sort of in the "Punker" mindset.

[redrumsixsix6]

Did you mean to change the intro riff?

Do you have 2 vocalists? It almost sounds like it.


no we didnt...its a bit slower but thats just how it came out when we recorded it. two singer when harmonies come in other than the that the lead vox are jsut doubled

[AZNMan#2]

You did change a few of the notes though.

At least you play it differently than I do.

[the eye of your sock]

blink 182 are the best band in the world

[Snowball Fight]

It should be "were", but they're far from. Great band, but far from the best.

Although technically there is no "best" due to differing opinions.

[form]

tmtats is such a good album, i havent listened to it in forever

[yourstruly]

Yeah, i forget to put it on CD before I moved though.
This Blink 182 myspace fan page thing posted a bulletin saying Travis filed for divorce, true?

[Bad Blood]

pff i dunno.

wouldn't surprise me though.

[yourstruly]

2 divorces would suck, but i guess Travis could start another MTV show to find a new wife..

[Surtr]

2 divorces would suck, but i guess Travis could start another MTV show to find a new wife..
I guess you could STFU!?

Maybe? lol

[B]

Dude if I was banging a model I'd find another chick first and then divorce her. I wouldn't pass up on hot sex with a model.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Maybe she's **** in bed? Ya never know.

I'd like to find out...

[JohnXDoe]

^lmao that actually is the best username ever....

[Bad Blood]

Maybe she's **** in bed? Ya never know.

I'd like to find out...

Yeah, so your first experience can be a **** one.

[Get Fighted]

Just like mine :(

Anyway, I'm well back into the AVA album again :)

[yourstruly]

I listened to it the other night in bed, before I went to sleep.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I listened to BCR today. \m/

The good side of Tom.

[yourstruly]

the good side?, Tom's pretty good in general.

[Bad Blood]

blink 182 are the best band in the world

[DJ Ducksauce]

the good side?, Tom's pretty good in general.
Yes, but compared to AVA, that was his better side. :)

Ben: Truth.

[Bad Blood]

I was just taking the piss out of that other guy, but because I have 8,362 posts, i'm cool and stuff.

Yeah :smoke:

[DJ Ducksauce]

It's true though. :smoke:

[Bad Blood]

yeah :smoke:

[Virus278]

Did AVA make "Do it for me now" a single? cause I heard that song in the gap today. Also, what does it mean if u have a referral? is that good? (i mean on my user profile).......:smoke:

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Yes they did, and that means you referred someone to the site, its good.

[Bad Blood]

I dunno

and it means that when a new user has joined, they stated that you were the one to show them to the forums.

/beat

[DepthsOfDreams555]

It's all good.

[Virus278]

oh, I wonder who the user was. Is there any way of checking?...so that's 2 singles for AVA now right? The Adventure, and Do It For Me Now?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

That's correct. They planned on having Valkyire Missle be the first single...I don't know why they wouldn't make it the second one.

[Bad Blood]

I have loads of referrals, becuase I have a lot of other accounts lol

[Virus278]

I have loads of referrals, becuase I have a lot of other accounts lol

lol

That's correct. They planned on having Valkyire Missle be the first single...I don't know why they wouldn't make it the second one.


Wierd, when did they declare DIFMN as a single?

[DepthsOfDreams555]

Wierd, when did they declare DIFMN as a single?

July 10th.

[yourstruly]

AVAs videos are pretty boring and silly so far. I like the part in The Adventure where he's walking along that long grass for some reason..

[DepthsOfDreams555]

The part at the end of DIFMN when they all like 'fly' off is kind of cool.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Yeah, that bit looks pretty cool, but you're waiting the whole video just for that to happen. And it's not a particually exciting build up. It's a pretty lame video.

Edit: I also beleive that It Hurts was released as a single in the UK.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

[DepthsOfDreams555]

I dunno about that...I don't think so but I'm not sure. And ya I agree it's pretty lame.

[These_Green_Eyes]

AVAs videos are pretty boring and silly so far. I like the part in The Adventure where he's walking along that long grass for some reason..

My favorite part in The adventure is at the end, when Tom is walking along that wide open area. The sky and planets look really cool.

[Get Fighted]

Edit: I also beleive that It Hurts was released as a single in the UK.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Yup it was, and I have to say, the video is the most boring and stupid video ever.

[Bad Blood]

It wasn't released on CD though, was it?

[Get Fighted]

It was, I saw an ad for it somewhere.

that doesnt look right, cause i dont think i like all live>studio

but thats what came to mind first

[yourstruly]

I like all of it live better, because it just feels more real and I like the faster tempo.

[DJ Ducksauce]

There's a studio version of MTTS, or are you just talking about the album versions of the songs?

[Surtr]

He means do you like the Studio versions of all the songs played on MT&TS..Or how the songs sounded live from MT&TS.

I'd say Studio without a doubt.

[B]

Live pwns it all.

[Surtr]

No way..Live you get to listen to Tom's whiney singing..At least studio they cover it up so he sounds half-decent. Live you also have to put up with Tom butting into Mark's sentences and saying something really stupid and not even remotely funny.

[Virus278]

i think it's funny - Tom starts to say something quietly then Mark butts in with a loud obnoxious voice lol

[B]

No way..Live you get to listen to Tom's whiney singing..At least studio they cover it up so he sounds half-decent. Live you also have to put up with Tom butting into Mark's sentences and saying something really stupid and not even remotely funny.
Live is so much more realistic and emotional though.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I definetly prefer live.
I love Tom's whiney voice, and both of thier crappy jokes.
Dammit, I want blink back now, haha.

[masada]

I think they're terrible live.

[Bad Blood]

I think Tom's funny in it.

Live is better yeah.

Tom's funny because he takes the piss out of being so immature and stuff, and because it's him, makes it funnier.

[Fire Away]

No way..Live you get to listen to Tom's whiney singing..At least studio they cover it up so he sounds half-decent. Live you also have to put up with Tom butting into Mark's sentences and saying something really stupid and not even remotely funny.
I can't stand Tom's voice on Enema. It sounds weird to me.

[form]

yeah live ftw

i just thought it was weird i chose all live over studio

i skip the jokes after everysong

except the one after aliens exist

i like that one

the end

[Dead Star]

"Tom has sex with guys"

[yourstruly]

No way..Live you get to listen to Tom's whiney singing..At least studio they cover it up so he sounds half-decent. Live you also have to put up with Tom butting into Mark's sentences and saying something really stupid and not even remotely funny.Tom and Mark both but into each others sentences.

[Virus278]

yeah live ftw

i just thought it was weird i chose all live over studio

i skip the jokes after everysong

except the one after aliens exist

i like that one

the end

U mean the one about tom cruise? "Where's he handicapped and retarded and stupid and nobody likes him and he just ****s all over himself and he's a ****ing a'sshole" - lol if that's the joke that u mean I like that one too. I like that one and the one at the end of Pathetic and Mutt.

- lmao, type in A-s-s-h-o-l-e in your post and it gets changed to spatula lol

[DJ Ducksauce]

Tom and Mark both but into each others sentences.
Tom tends to do it more often though.

Virus: yeah, our filter is pretty odd.

[These_Green_Eyes]

http://www.b182.com/askmark1.html

Interesting.

[Dead Star]

19. If you could say one thing to Tom right now, what would it be?



What’s up with that haircut?

Thats why Mark owns.

[These_Green_Eyes]

I know haha. That was funny.

[Pazz]

Thats why Mark owns.

pwn

[DJ Ducksauce]

Is that a real interview?

Some of it kinds seems sketchy. :-\

[Dead Star]

I would think it is, I enjoyed reading it, because Mark just owns.

[DJ Ducksauce]

If it is true though, it makes Tom seem like a total douche.

Very biased indeed.

[Dead Star]

Well....

[Pazz]

Talk about making Tom look like a jackass.

[Surtr]

I'd have to say that the interview isn't real..

A) Because it just doesn't sound right.

B) I'm Mark, and I'd know when I did an interview :lol: :rolleyes:

[Pazz]

B) I'm Mark, and I'd know when I did an interview :lol: :rolleyes:

/smacks you

[DJ Ducksauce]

I'd have to say that the interview isn't real..

A) Because it just doesn't sound right.

B) I'm Mark, and I'd know when I did an interview :lol: :rolleyes:
You were probably drunk again you jackass. :p

[Surtr]

You were probably drunk again you jackass. :p
This statement makes no sense...

A) I don't drink :confused:

B) I'm Mark.....:shiftyeyes:

[Virus278]

wow, interesting interview. I had no idea that the album was complete - so does anyone know how long it will be before the album is actually released or is that still unconfirmed?

[Kif]

http://www.absolutepunk.net/showthread.php?p=4020163 (Mark Hoppus interview at AP.net)

NOTE: This is just a small section that got onto talking about Tom. There's more about Plus 44, and producing MCS and The Matches.
Let's talk about Tom's Angels and Airwaves, and your thoughts on all of that?

My honest opinion of that Angels and Airwaves record is that it didn't really do anything for me. After I heard the first single I thought that the verses were really good, and then it got to the chorus and for me it just fell apart after that. I felt there were a lot of ideas that were trying to work there way out, but none of the songs got to that part where they just opened up, you know?

Was this the direction Tom wanted Blink to go in?

Well, the thing is, some of the songs that were recorded and ended up on that album, were demoed as Blink182 songs on the last US tour. We took out basically a studio that we were setting up in dressing rooms and demoing songs. And when Tom quit Blink, a couple weeks later his manager called up and said "Tom's taking some of those songs you guys demoed and is going to be recording them for his new solo project." When the Angels and Airwaves album came out, I was listening, because I thought some of those demos were the start of something good, and I wanted to hear what they sounded like. And then when I heard the actual execution of them, I was kind of disappointed. But, with that being said, I want to say that I've always respected Tom as a song writer, and I know that he has the ability to write really good songs. But that record, just, well, didn't do anything for me.

Are you and Tom on speaking terms, or what has happened with that friendship?

I haven't spoken to Tom since before he quit. The last conversation I had with him was when he was telling us, we started arguing about the break we were forced to take after the last European tour, and the recording of the next Blink album. And Tom was saying that he would only record at his house in San Diego, that he wouldn't go anywhere and we were arguing over all of this personal stuff while we were practicing for the Tsunami Benefit show. And, before that, we had been on tour in Europe and our manager at the time sat us down and said, "look, Tom isn't going to tour anymore, he's done touring, he's burned out, he needs some time off." And we were like, "yeah, we have time off, we're about to have two months just to sit at home" and our manager said, "Tom needs more than that." And at this point we already had a US tour lined up at this point that actual got canceled. So, we're in Europe on this tour, and we just got told we were going to be canceling our US tour in the spring, and so everyone that tours with us, our family, the guys that set up and travel with us, and help us look and sound as good as possible - 2 weeks before Christmas - were told they were fired. And that we weren't going to be doing any more touring in the foreseeable future. So then we got home, that tour ended, and took a 6, 8, 9 month break. And then the Tsunami hit. And I called up our manager and said, "look, I want to do something about this - whatever we can do to help, we have to help, I know that Tom's during his time off right now but I'll do an acoustic show by myself, or maybe Travis and I can get someone to fill in for Tom for that night, or whatever.. " and our manager said, "no, Tom wants to do this, he's watching the things on the news too." So we rented a rehearsal space to get ready for the show, and while we were there we started arguing about the break, and the next Blink record, and Tom told us he would only record it in his house. So, at this point Travis and I were like, "wait dude we're three people in a band, and we understand that you needed your time off, and that's cool, but now it's like you're saying when we can and can't tour, when and how we can record." He was talking about us mailing pro-tool files back and forth and he would record stuff at his house and Travis could record drums in LA, and that's not a band. That's not Blink182. We were a band for 13 years before, and this is just not right. And, we're a band when we're all in the studio together, not this separate thing, you know? And he said, "well, that's the only way I'll do the band now" - and I said, "no, this isn't right, we're a three-piece, this has always been a democracy, we vote on things, we respect one another, and now it's all about one person and you're controlling everything." And he didn't want to to be a part of anything he couldn't control. So - the next day, I get a call from our old manager and he says, "as of today Tom is no longer a part of Blink182." And I was like, "uh, okay, shouldn't I hear this from Tom?" and he goes, "well, Tom's already changed all his numbers and he doesn't want to talk to you, so I don't think you should call him."

What changed in the band? Fame? Popularity? Was there a moment you remember?

I really don't know. It got very ugly at the end, it got bad. I think, in my own opinion, our old manager started just managing Tom. And instead of looking out for the band as a whole, it seemed as though he was managing one person in the band. And the conversation at the beginning of the European tour, it was honestly like, Tom and him one one side of the room and Travis and Me on the other - and our old manager did all of the talking for Tom. And we were like, "wait wait wait ... why isn't Tom saying this? We've been in a band together for 13 years, and when it comes time for him to say he needs 6 or 8 or whatever months off he can't tell us this himself? You're the one that has to talk for him?" This isn't right, you know? I don't know what the changing point was, but slowly it became .. we weren't' a band, it wasn't the 3 of us working together for a goal, it was like me and Travis having to pull him along, and be like, "come on, let's go, let's do this that we all created and that we love" and we wanted to help Tom, we were like, "dude, if you need your family bring them along, get your own tour bus, we're so lucky that we have the opportunity to do this, and take your family all over the world, show them everything" and we seriously did everything we could to keep the band together. But then, in the end, I don't know if it was that. We were told that he didn't want to do music anymore, that he was burned out, and that he just wanted out. And then, less than a month later, manager calls up and goes, "Tom's doing a solo album" - and for me, well, I dunno. I mean, I haven't spoken to Tom, so I don't if the reason was that he was burnt out on music. All the interviews I've seen, don't really lead me to believe that he needed to be with his family like he said.

[yourstruly]

Mark is so awesome. Tom on the other hand needs to be slapped.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Mark seems pretty pissed at Tom.
Tom seems like a dick.

[Get Fighted]

man there all cool, you need yto understand, where is the love?

[Dead Star]

Nah, Tom is a bit of a dick.

[Get Fighted]

sorry ignore me, i'm drinking

edit: i wanna hear those blink demos.

[Dead Star]

k.

Mark's opinion on AvA matches mine EXACTLY.

[Untitled]

Ive always said mark is the best.

[yourstruly]

you were right. In the space of a few mins my respect for Mark went up so much, and my respect for Tom became non-existent. It's funny reading the hate mail on AVAs and Tom myspace pages..maybe it'll get through to him.

[masada]

tom is a pretentious prrrrrrrriiiccccccckkkkkkkkkk

mark is okaaaaaaaayyyyyy but now he's coooool for saying that stufffffffff

Heh, they supported the Foo Fighters here abit ago, i missed AVA though.

but dave grohl said "id like to thank my friends angles and airwaves" and everyone went "booooooooooooooooo" and dave stood there like this " :angry: " and said "these people are my friends!"

[These_Green_Eyes]

I wonder what the hell is going through Tom's head.

[Surtr]

I wonder what the hell is going through Tom's head.
Or more likely, what's NOT going through his head.

Hey guys, I'm Mark and not Tom for a reason :p Me > Tom.

Really? When did that happen?...i'm actually starting to feel kind of sorry for Tom

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Tom was my ****in' idol in blink. I loved that guy.
Now he's become a pretentios dick. He's in love with himself.
He's lost so much respect since AVA. I would feel sorry for him, but he brought it on himself.

Can't wait for Plus 44.

And I'd LOVE to hear those blink demos.

If anyone in there forums manages to find even just one song somewhere on this crazy thing they call the 'internet', ORAL SEX ALL 'ROUND! My shout.

Really? When did that happen?...i'm actually starting to feel kind of sorry for Tom
A few weeks back, when i saw the foo fighters....

Like i said.

[TheBigMachine]

Tom backed himself into the corner, but I think he should just stay away and lie low for a while now, let people forget about him.

[Dead Star]

A few weeks back, when i saw the foo fighters....

Like i said.

Happened at Hyde Park too :p

[The Chemist]

Tom does seem to be in a downwards spiral...

[Bad Blood]

who the hells gonna forget about him mitch

[yourstruly]

If an announcement about Blink reforming went on the internet I bet it would be all "I love Tom" again. Mark is still seems pretty angry at Tom still even after a year, so that would be pretty hard to get past. I don't understand how in Marks interview all the Blink **** happened because Tom was being selfish and controlling, yet Tom says he never wanted Blink to end. I mean who the **** asks for 6 months off because they are "burnt out" then straight away starts a new band.?. Unless AVAs other members were total guineas pigs and did everything the way Tom wanted Blink to do things.

[TheBigMachine]

who the hells gonna forget about him mitch

Allow me to reword -
He should just lay low and wait untill all this hype has calmed down so that he can start to repair his mistakes etc.

Anyone here read this interview with Travis about his divorce?

"Travis Barker isn't keeping quiet about the reasons he's divorcing his wife and Meet the Barkers costar Shanna Moakler.

On Aug. 14 a week after he filed for divorce Barker, 30, posted a scathing message on his MySpace.com page accusing Moakler, 31, of partying hard, not spending enough time with their kids (Landon, 2, and Alabama, 7 months) and sleeping too much.

In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Barker explains, "I was hearing things in the press that Shanna was saying about me and it got to the point where it got so foul and so false that I wanted my fans to hear from me directly."

Moakler fired back to PEOPLE, "(His) airing of our dirty laundry in the media is not conducive to the well-being of my children, and I want no part of it."

On Tuesday, Barker talked to PEOPLE about what went wrong in his marriage, a certain egg-throwing problem and the MTV curse.



PEOPLE: How are you doing? Are you angry or sad?
BARKER: I'm not in the angry phase at all because I'm still absolutely in love with Shan. It feels weird to not wake up to my children every day, to be honest. But I sneak over every morning to see the babies.

PEOPLE: Do they understand what's going on?
BARKER: Well, 'Bam is seven months old. She just pisses herself when she sees me because she's so excited because she was used to seeing me so much during the day. And my son just thinks I'm working like crazy right now.

PEOPLE: When did things start going downhill with you and Shanna?
BARKER: About a year ago. I don't know if it was me touring and me constantly getting accused of things. She was unfortunately in a relationship before where someone was unfaithful to her and she told me when we first met that it scared her. I understood that going into it, but I didn't know it would be to the extreme that it was. To the point where I couldn't have friends that were girls and I couldn't hang out with my guy friends. They would get egged if they came to my house.

PEOPLE: Wait, is that a metaphor?
BARKER: There were times where I'd be accused of whatever. She'd say I was a bad father, just saying she hated me or whatever. Then I would leave the house because I couldn't take it. My manager would pick me up and he would get served with a dozen eggs. This would happen on the daily. This would happen on the weekly."

It's an alright name. Her friends and **** can just call her Ally or something, or Bam..bammy etc..

I thought Shanna was pretty ****, very hot and nice tits, but the rest of her is ****

Travis...
the only blink who is still staying them selves out of the bullshiit tabloid-style spotlight is Scott... anyways, where is Scott?

[Pazz]

Scott probably doesn't give a **** about Blink 182 anymore.

[yourstruly]

He has a myspace, unless it's fake. Scott's pretty young, he was like 18 or 19 when Dude Ranch was released.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Travis is drumming for some King TI or something or another right now on Leno.

[yourstruly]

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha, truth.

[yourstruly]

: In the 18 months following the announcement of the Blink-182 hiatus, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker decided not to do any interviews. During that time, their former bandmate, Tom DeLonge, did the opposite, peppering blogs and magazines with quotes

"It's some of the most positive stuff I've ever written, but it's also some of the darkest, too. And I'm incredibly proud of it all." Plus-44's Mark Hoppus

hyping his new band and putting the blame for the Blink situation squarely on their shoulders.

While it sometimes pained them to do so, Hoppus and Barker still refrained from speaking to the media, instead burying themselves in the recording of the debut album by their new band, Plus-44 (see "When It Comes To Publicity, Plus-44's Mark Hoppus Is No Tom DeLonge").

Now, with Plus' album, When Your Heart Stops Beating, "99 percent finished," the guys are embarking on a press blitz of their own.

"We just bit our tongues and didn't say anything, and now that the record is done, we get the chance to tell the truth about everything," Hoppus said. "We want to say, 'Here's the truth about Blink, here's the truth about Plus-44.' We're not talking sh-- we just want our fans to know the truth about everything."

"We were silent for a year, and we couldn't put into words what we were doing, so we just decided not to say anything and let the music speak for itself," Barker added. "Now it's time for people to hear that music and hear the truth."

That truth about the past 18 months of their lives percolates throughout Heart, a point made by Hoppus during Plus' first-ever interview last month (see "Mark Hoppus, Travis Barker Break Plus-44 Silence, Talk 'The Real Tom' "), and one that both he and Barker expounded on in their second chat with MTV News.

"The whole album is about everything that's happened, including Blink, and the ugly feelings that were left over afterwards," Hoppus said. "Lyrically, it's some of the most positive stuff I've ever written, but it's also some of the darkest sh--, too. And I'm incredibly proud of it all."

"Ever since the whole Blink thing went down, we were left on our own, we were the underdogs," Barker added. "We had a year's worth of touring planned, we were writing a record, and all of a sudden [Tom] just dropped the ball. And while we were still on tour, he was having discussions with us about, 'Oh, I can't wait until we're doing this 20 years from now.' So now, with Plus-44, my attitude is like, 'F--- you, watch me do this 20 years from now.' "

Hoppus said there will be 11 songs on Heart which is due November 14, according to Plus' label, Interscope Records including the title track (which is shaping up to be the first single), "Little Death," "Chapter 13" (a "straight-up spastic tune," according to Barker) and "No It Isn't," a song that leaked earlier this year and created quite a stir because it seemed to address the Blink situation head-on.

"Yeah, that one is absolutely about the end of Blink," Hoppus said. "We leaked it online almost a year ago, in a demo version, and it's one of the few songs that's only changed a little bit."

With the record nearly done, Plus-44 are now gearing up to hit the road, lining up dates for a North American tour scheduled to kick off in late October. And while Barker has been dealing with some personal stuff chiefly the divorce petition he filed against his wife (and former "Meet the Barkers" co-star) Shanna Moakler earlier this month (see "Travis Barker Files For Divorce From Shanna Moakler") he maintains that he's eagerly looking forward to the time on the road.

"Anytime I'm struggling or in a place where I have to keep my head above water, it always makes me get even deeper into my music," he said. "So yeah, I'm really looking forward to getting out there and playing. In a way it's weird, because this band has been about making the best out of a f---ed-up situation, and now this tour is, too. I feel like every few years something goes down with me where I have to prove myself again. And that's what this is, but it only makes me stronger."

Mark and Travis are so pissed at Tom, even after a year.

I really want to hear this album..

[Get Fighted]

Thanks for posting the interview, man.

[The Chemist]

I'm gonna lash out and say, listening to all the blink CDs, they were a way better band before travis joined them. scott was way better...

[Surtr]

"We just bit our tongues and didn't say anything, and now that the record is done, we get the chance to tell the truth about everything," Hoppus said.

Does the line:


"My Mouth Is Filled With Blood, From Trying Not To Speak"

..Come to mind?

[Get Fighted]

I don't like how everyone is hating Tom :(

Sure he made some mistakes, but it can't have been easy for him.

[TheBigMachine]

That doesnt make it any better for him.

[Surtr]

I'll say it like this...I don't hate Tom. I like him, he's a kick *** guy and the AVA album really is a kick *** album, but he did over talk it alot. I don't think he deserves all the hating he's getting, but who am I to say? I don't know the intire story, I'm not Tom, and really anyone but Tom (Or MAYBE Mark and Travis) should really be able to know whether he fully deserves it.

But, whether Tom deserves it or not, isn't the point, as he's getting it anyways.

[Fire Away]

And while we were still on tour, he was having discussions with us about, 'Oh, I can't wait until we're doing this 20 years from now.' So now, with Plus-44, my attitude is like, 'F--- you, watch me do this 20 years from now.' "i'm kind of drunk and don't quite understand what he means by this.

[Bad Blood]

He means Tom was saying how he can't wait til he's still making music with Blink in 20 years time..

Then he contradicted himself by breaking up the band and forming AVA.

So Travis is sore about it and stuff, and he's trying to say he doesn't care about Tom anymore and he wants to keep Plus 44 strong.

[yourstruly]

Plus 44 have shows booked now. None in New Zealand though :(

has anyone here got the videos Untitled and Family Reunion from the Big Day Out 2000?. They're the only clips I can't find. If you've got them send them to jeffwearsbirkenstocks@gmail.com. Not youtube or other video site ones though, cos they aren't good enough quality.

Tom is even more of an egotistical fool than before.

Oh and it's "atmospheric" and "progressive".

[Bad Blood]

It has flange on every song

that's the difference

Truth.

[B]

That's no different though they were always there.

[Surtr]

But at least with Blink it was more so of a joke, now Tom's all serious.

Seriousness SUCKS in Pop-Punk. (Well..Kinda' lol)

you know what it is? Alot of these people are just now jumping on the we hate Tom band waggon. I've been hating Tom since like 1995, I'm oldschool hatin Tom!
Oh how funny this quote seems now :p

[Bad Blood]

I like AvA, it's not stereotypical pop punk, so it doesn't matter to me that it's serious.

[Surtr]

Oh don't get me wrong, I still do like some of the music. It's not that bad, but Tom's attitude and his just intire personality is what gets to me.

[Bad Blood]

Yeah, just listen to the music then :p

[Surtr]

No way :p

[Bad Blood]

yeah music sucks anyway

[ZaaR]

when is plus 44's album coming out, or is it already out

[Surtr]

I dunno..She's just not in the band anymore?

Edit: ..So..That 107lz or whatever the hell it was guy, still has like 2 hundred more posts than me and Ben :-\

He hasn't posted anymore than once a month for about half a year now..:-\

Hahaha k :p

beat up his cat or something

ps: P44 is going to suck horribly now, maybe as much as AVA is boring.

[Surtr]

Yeah, I'd like to have heard a female voice. But it's all good.

Not to mention they were good.

Now they're going to be lame and even more generic.

[Pazz]

i'm on their purevolume, and the main picture seems to be missing the girl. what happened to her?

She decided she didn't want to do it anymore so they got two other guys instead.

Seriouses.

Its ALL about blink182.

What a fantastic band.

I owe my love of rock music to All The Small Things, if it wasn't for that song..*shudder*

[yourstruly]

Same here kind of. Except when I heard a band cover Dammit I got into Blink more, which let me to NOFX and Screeching Weasel, which led me to Fat Wreck Chords..

[Eliminator]

I was obsessed with Enema of the State for about a month like 5 years ago. Their self-titled is the best though.

[Surtr]

Yeah, without Blink I'd be screwed music wise.

[Eliminator]

I feel sorry for anyone that ends up saying the same for AVA.

[ZaaR]

my brother bought the mark tom and travis show when he was in grade 5. so i started listening to them in grade 3, and that's what brought me into the whole pop-punk, punk, rock, metal scene. everything started from them. if not, i'd be listening to n'sync still

[Surtr]

Same. It's pretty scary. I'd probably be one of the poser idiot people I've come to hate. :(
