Official Blink 182 Thread

[Eliminator]

The message I got from AVA is that you should be happy and make everyday the best day of your life.

This.

[yourstruly]

I don't know, alot of people don't think AVA is crap.

[Storm In A Teacup]

Eminem is the original source of music that's meant to make you happy.

[Eliminator]

I don't know, alot of people don't think AVA is crap.

A lot of people are kinda dumb.

[yourstruly]

Yeah. I just got rid of my AVA album because I decided any album with only 2 songs on it i actually like isn't worth having. But I still think what Tom was aiming for with it was pretty cool.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Eminem is the original source of music that's meant to make you happy.
His angry music is actually a good calm downer.

/serious

[Storm In A Teacup]

I'm serious too when I say I agree with you. I was being serious with that first post.

[cobert]

Eminem is the second closest rap will ever be to emo.

I loved his 8 Mile songs.


AVA could have done better I think if Tom didn't try so hard on every song.

[cobert]

whats first

Tupac.

I like a lot of rap/hip-hop, but the stuff I do like I don't know what it is because it's random stuff my friend's brother listens to.

I hate how with most of the albums have a few really good songs and the rest suck, because I hate just listeneing to a few songs, I always try and listent o the whole thing.

[formofshark]

rap is almost my favorite genre

np: one mic - nas

[10571z]

The music is extremely average, but I think the message Tom is trying to get across is more important.

What message.. All i see is Tom Saying Hey i ahve 100043048 fans... Im gunna make a record and theyll buy it ill make money...

[yourstruly]

That's because you're ignorant.

[10571z]

That's because you're ignorant.
I guess your right Tom is all deep now :rolleyes: ...

i dont mind rap that bad.. Some has important messages... Eminem has to be my fav.. Toy soilders is a good song... But its sorta bad how to hooks in the songs are usually stolen for less famous songs

[yourstruly]

I guess your right Tom is all deep now :rolleyes: ...Tom has been the way he is for a long time before AVA even existed. People just think he changed drastically because they're idiots.

Welcome to last week :thumb:

woops ah well. So far i am much more impressed with plus 44.. The 2 songs are alot better. Today i decided im really going to give this ava album a chance. So i laid down and listened. Valkrein Missle was pretty good. Then your distraction which was the worst song.Vocals were so bad so boring repetative The lyrics arghh wtf? I couldnt bare it anymore.. Anyone what are the good tracks?

[TheBigMachine]

There are none. Valkyrie Missile is like THE only decent one on the album.

[10571z]

There are none. Valkyrie Missile is like THE only decent one on the album.

agreed 100% Thank god some1 agrees

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I actually think Valkyrie Missile is one of the weaker tracks on the album, although the last minute or so it the best thing Tom's ever written. (Slight exageration)
My favourites were The Adventure, It Hurts and Start The Machine.
The War had a pretty cool main riff, but the rest of the song bores the **** outta me.
I really liked WDNTW at first, as it was just so relaxing to sit back and chill to, but now, it's just so boring. (And to those who are gonna say something like "Why chill to AVA when there's so many other bands that are like, meant for that...?" I don't like those other bands, so please don't say it.)
Anyways,
Blink-182 = :thumb:
AVA = :o

(Sorry I'm late on the reply)
Are you serious? You listen to pop-punk, and blink-182, and you're saying a power chord riff is lame!? Name one blink song that isn't mostly powerchords.
I like pop-punk, I like power chords. Go to anyone in the metal forums, and they'll tell you how lame and untallented powerchord riffs are, to them. Then I'll tell you how lame, over-comlicated, and just boring most of thier music is, to me. I'd assume if you lsiten to pop-punk, you'd at least accept the fact that > 90% of the bands will use mostly powerchords, and just enjoy it, coz it sounds good.
Okay, I'm finished.
And I couldn't care less if Travis is making out with random women, he's no longer married is he? He can do whatever he wants. (As far as women go, haha.)

[Surtr]

k wha'?

Don't be hatin' on Powerchords. They're cool. Powerchords are easy, and they work well.

Most blink have note riffs... As in dammit... Rock show... If you no what i mean...

[Surtr]

Most blink have note riffs... As in dammit... Rock show... If you no what i mean...

..He never said they didn't? He said they were based off Powerchords mainly though. And he's right?

[10571z]

IM not arguing that... But this "riff" is onloy power chords... It sound ****... Tom has lost watever he had...

[Surtr]

Not really. He's no better or worse than he ever was.

[Hep Kat]

There's nothing wrong with powerchords.


There's nothing wrong with blink-182 song structure.


Tom always has and always will suck at guitar.



/doesn't really know what's going on

123

Most of Tom's noted riffs are just based off power chords anyways. I'm sure he can play better than that (because everyone can) but it wouldn't fit the music so he doesn't.

Or he possibly can't in which case I would laugh in his face.

[Hep Kat]

He can't.



There are all kinds of live recordings of him screwing up songs that are so simple that a <insert witty person/onject here> could play.


You can actually here him (on occasion) going "Goddammit" or something when he messes up.

[B]

lol imagine if he messed up damnit

i could play that the first time i picked up a guitar

[10571z]

Tom may be a "bad" guitarists.. But barely any1 can make riffs and songs like him... His creativity is by far a larger asset then all those people in guitar forum playing "skilled music" which i believe sounds **** compared to toms little riff and 4 chords..

[yourstruly]

I'd imagine Tom to be a fairly decent guitarist, I mean he's only been playing for like 15 years..

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Mmm, not really. I've been playing for 3 years now, and at one stage, after about 2 and a half years of playing I didn't pick up a guitar for over a week or two, I was just out everyday, but when I finally did, I sucked ***. I was worse than I was when I'd been playing for like 6 months. I've improved alot since then though, I can actually play guitar pretty decently now. :eek:
Anyways, the point of this little anecdote was that even if you've been playing a long time, if you stop for a while, you tend to lose alot of skill, and I doubt Tom plays guitar everyday, and pratices scales and what-not.
Same thing goes for skateboarding... I just found that out today, I'm pathetic now, haha. Anyways...

As someones already stated.

Mark wrote a hell of a lot of the riffs...

[TheBigMachine]

I'm almost in agreement with pppp. But it's best if you mix it up. Simple effective riffs and blistering crazy mad skill leads, you know?

[Ross]

Hmm. I've been playing guitar for about 10 years, and I'm not great but not bad either. If I don't play guitar for a few weeks I find my skill doesn't change massively, and it only takes 5 mins to pick it up again.

[dancetomdance182]

Yeah, I doubt Tom learns anything new about guitar. I doubt he gets a book or a teacher to teach him stuff that he doesn't know.
I have to say that even if songs are less complicated, and if they are power chord riffs they can sound awesome.
Just listen to the outro of Valkeryie Missle-however you spell that-

[Ross]

Indeed, as has been said countless times before; some of the best riffs are also the simplest.

Rage Against The Machine are a classic example of a band that has lots of awesome riffs, but for the most part they're real simple to play. Some of the solos though... wow. Hardness.

Again, Dammit would be a pop-punk example. Real simple, but real effective.

I wonder how many times I (and others) have posted that in this thread...

[Bad Blood]

Mark wrote the Dammit riff

[Surtr]

Mark wrote the Dammit riff

Yup.

Mark wrote all of Dammit in fact.

I pre-ordered WDNTW, and it came 2 weeks after the release date.
I'll just buy the +44 album when it hits stores.

Are you stupid... You cant pull out riffs like that from nowhere... There easy to play but you need creativity... If its so easy why isnt everyone famous like blink 182...

Poor marketing, bad agents, etc.



Yeah, you do have to have a certain brand of creativity to write blink-esque music.

[cobert]

You need creativity to play any type of music.

I pull riffs like Blink-182 out all of the time.

[Eliminator]

ugh you don't need creativity to play music

stop kidding yourself

[yourstruly]

You don't need it to play music, but you to need it to write music.

[MattSharpIsCool]

It takes creativity to write so many decent songs using only a few diffferent power chords, and changing them up some.

Look at Green Day. Those guys play in the same key on a huge amount of their songs, and how many great songs do they have? Its tough to do that.

And you dont play guitar for 15+ years, and only know how to play power chords. I'm sure Tom can play other stuff. But why do that, when the music you're playing doesnt need it?

[10571z]

I pull riffs like Blink-182 out all of the time.

No you dont. You might think they are... But chances are there not as good. Record some songs?

[Bad Blood]

wtf

how do you know if he can?

riffs like Blink 182 aren't riffs the same as, as if he has thought them up from scratch. Who are you to say something like that, it's not difficult to pull riffs out like that.

you wouldn't think any were as good because you've heard the Blink ones so many times, and they're as popular as they are.

[MattSharpIsCool]

G - D - E - A

There, I just wrote a Blink 182 chord progression. I'm a genius.

Yer now make a riff out of those notes.. THen make a whole song... wright lyrics.. record and send :)!

[Bad Blood]

Uhm, he said chord progression, not notes.

It's simple to make a song out of just those four chords, Blink did it all the time with just 4 chords.

You must be some sort of idiot if you think you need more chords than that in a pop punk song to make it sound relatively like a Blink song.

Learn how to spell too.

This man is a genius.

[Eliminator]

G5 - D5 - E5 - A5

you forgot about power chords duh

[Ross]

---Blink182 Song---
1. Simple riff to open
2. Palm muted verse
3. Chorus (same as verse but no muting)
4. Repeat 2 and 3 once
5. Bridge
6. End on a chorus

So simple, yet real effective. They weren't particularly original, and they weren't particularly clever, but they had some good catchy songs and did what they were supposed to.

But let's face it; they were hardly creative geniuses. They just had a bit of luck and were good on stage (humour worked well) so they went far.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I think Mark and Tom's real talent was their songwriting, not so much their musical abilities. Like I said earlier, its tough to take the same 4 notes and write a bunch of songs using those notes. You have to find ways to change them up and keep it different, even though its the same. And they were always pretty decent at writing lyrics.

A lot of very good bands only used a few chords. Everybody slobbers on AC/DC's collective knob, yet they only used a few power chords in pretty much every song they wrote. Ya, they had solos, but the main structure of the song was built on power chords.

A song doesnt have to be complex to be good. Blink's songs are easier as piss to play, but they're still good. Thats really what matters.

[yourstruly]

That song on Dude Ranch called "Boring" would be pretty hard to play while singing, like Tom does.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Ya, they do have some songs that could be tough to play and sing.

[10571z]

Uhm, he said chord progression, not notes.

exactly... But everyone thinks writing music like blink 182 is easy when it is not at all. They had talent. Barely anyone could write an album like enema of the state. You have to have extreme talent. You see so many ****ty pop punk bands... WHY... cause its not as easy as you think to wright a good song.

[yourstruly]

haha extreme talent, that's a bit far really. hendrix **** takes extreme talent, not Blink 182..

[10571z]

its not as easy as u think... they had huge talent are writing easy catchy pop punk songs :)!

[yourstruly]

I dunno, I write 90s era pop-punk with not too much brain strain. Lyrics are the hard part to me.

[10571z]

But see people can write it doest mean its good.. I can create a pop punk song in a hour. doesnt mean its good. Does ur band have a song ???

[yourstruly]

I don't have a band yet, but i've written alot of songs. Whether they're good or not is up to the public. But I think they're alright so whatever.

Do you guys reckon Enema of The State would've been as massive of a craze as it was if Blink stuck with their Dude Ranch sound?

[Eliminator]

There isn't much difference to me.

And obviously the ugly chick on the cover was probably the reason for their success.

[yourstruly]

there is a difference though. They got a new drummer and started getting poppier..

[The Chemist]

That song on Dude Ranch called "Boring" would be pretty hard to play while singing, like Tom does.

I listened to it, and he plays power chords in the verses and chori (plural of chorus)... don't understand your reasoning... unless you speak of his muting pattern.

[Ross]

...in which case it's freakin' easy.

[yourstruly]

I listened to it, and he plays power chords in the verses and chori (plural of chorus)... don't understand your reasoning... unless you speak of his muting pattern.I mean the rythm compared to way you sing the song. I find it pretty hard.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

No, it's really not. My band plays 'Boring', and it's just as easy as any other blink song. I sing and play guitar on it.
(I hate playing it, ironicly it's a rather boring song to play. But our drummer wanted to play it for some reason I can't remeber. Anyways...)
I think the hardest blink song to sing and play would be Touchdown Boy, the verses are a bitch, haha. But Tom seems to manage it okay, so whatever...

[yourstruly]

I must just suck then :(

[Bad Blood]

Im not saying that. All im trying to say is all of you think it's so easy to write these blink 182 songs. When it infact is not.

It's not... difficult : /

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Nah, Trav' knows what he's doing.
****, I'd do alot more then make out with her for her money! She's one rich-***-bitch.
And she's a lil' better looking than everyone gives her credit for, though some people say she's georgous... They're very wrong. She's average, and needs to put on some ****in' weight, but she sure as hell ain't ugly.
Anyways, enough of Paris, this is the blink thread right? Haha.
Sorry, I'll stop. Let this be a lesson to you, don't drink before posting. :D

what it's true

i wouldn't be able to look at her face and bang her at the same time :/

i dont know about you though..

Who knows what in the back of her?

I'd imagine a spine, maybe some guts. Blood. Kidneys. More guts. Some muscles. Maybe a waffle iron from 1989. I cant really think of anything else.

[Ross]

Blink one eighty two.

I'm convinced The Mark, Tom and Travis Show is their best CD. Just because all their songs are like 20bpm faster, which is really cool. Brings back memories of seeing them live too :)

[The Chemist]

the CD jacket rocked too

[DJ Ducksauce]

Who knows what in the back of her?

Well her back door.

Does the waffle have syrup?



And yes, MTTS pwn'd all.


I find myself enjoying the older more raw albums such as buddha more now. They're more raw and energetic. Buddha is good stuff.

[10571z]

Paris Has H3rpES!?!??#... Maybe.... Travis has sunk to a new low. But i dont really know what his old one was?

[yourstruly]

So apparently Blink were never on an indefinate-hiatus, that was just a cover up made by Geffen. Is this old news?. So I guess if Blink got back together, they wouldn't be on Geffen again.

[The Jungler]

If they are back together, I hope they continue with the s/t sound. Much better than previous albums.

[B]

If they are back together I hope they break up.

[yourstruly]

Meh, I like the Dude Ranch and earlier sound better, but if they made a new record it would definately be more like S/T.

Here's a Plus-44 article. No new info, but a new pic.

Blink aren't getting back together for a long time(if they do), and when they do, they will probably suck. But most people in here will love it because it's Blink 182.

They (mark and tom) seem to genuinely dislike each other at the moment. Unless they fix that, even if they were to get back together, it would be a disaster.

[yourstruly]

yeah. If after 2 years Mark and Travis are still pissed at Tom it'll be a really hard grudge to get over. Tom doesn't really care if Blink get together or not, cos he's happy being a rockstar.

[cobert]

She looks sort of like a falcon.

Best post ever ITT.

going off that interview from mark and traivs about +44 i would have to agree.

[TheBigMachine]

I personally reckon it's off the table, never to return(regrouping). So much friction and all, I dont think it's doable. But meh.

[Ross]

I wouldn't want the to get back together. Their best stuff was dude ranch/enema in my opinion, and they wouldn't go back to that sound, ever.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Its about time somebody recognizes that for what it is.

[yourstruly]

I wouldn't want the to get back together. Their best stuff was dude ranch/enema in my opinion, and they wouldn't go back to that sound, ever.yeah I think so to, but im a total fanboy so I would probably like their new stuff anyway.

[The Jungler]

To be honest I think their s/t is one of the greatest Pop-Punk CDs of all time. Definitly Blink's best.

"Tom DeLonge's band will tour the country in November. Could sparks fly when he crosses paths with his ex-bandmates?

Tom DeLonge's post-blink-182 band, Angels & Airwaves, have announced plans to tour the country in November. Supporting their debut, We Don't Need to Whisper, the band will kick off their trek Nov. 3 in Las Vegas and will wrap up Nov. 29 in Mexico City.

In between, DeLonge will come dangerously close to crossing paths with his estranged blink-182 bandmates, Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, who will be touring with their new band, (+44). On Nov. 12, both bands will play Pennsylvania, with A&A in Pittsburgh and (+44) in Philly. Two days later, both groups will visit New York, with A&A in Albany and (+44) in NYC. Finally, the bands will narrowly miss each other by just one day, when (+44) plays Providence, RI's Lupo's Nov. 16 and A&A hits the venue the next day. Will Hoppus and Barker leave DeLonge a little surprise in Rhode Island? Stay tuned!"

Omg Where is this from? Wow who cares if they see each other.. Arent they still friends.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Omg Where is this from? Wow who cares if they see each other.. Arent they still friends.

No. Have you read any of the interviews Mark has given? He seems to be quite angry with Tom. Its not pretty.

[yourstruly]

Yeah, it's gonna be a good fight when they meet.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I imagine they would try to work things out before fighting. Not very often do best friends end up absolutely hating each other. Things usually work themselves out.

[TheBigMachine]

If they stick to their tour paths, they'll miss each other anyway...Even if it isn't by much.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Why do we worry about famous people's personal lives so much? Kinda funny when you think about it.

[Ross]

Omgz! Kate Bosworth and Orlando Bloom have broken up!
http://www.femalefirst.co.uk/celebrity/117402004.htm

Blink, AvA, +44, Boxcar, etc.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I never got into that whole "caring about other people" thing in MY personal life, never mind giving a flying f00k about celebrities personal lives.

[10571z]

Why do we worry about famous people's personal lives so much? Kinda funny when you think about it.

AGREED!.... I think its so pathetic.... Movie stars are the worst.. Half the people dont like there movies but they care about there lives. OMG PARIS HILTON HAD A FIGHT WITH NICOLE RICHIES... Why the **** do we care?!??!? lol... But i mean if its ur fav band your going to be intrested i guess

[bottlerocket]

Wait...Mark and Travis hate Tom? What happened? Links to interviews?

[form]

Blink-182 spin-off group (+44) have confirmed that new song "No It Isn't" is about the end of their old band.

Speaking following their second ever gig -- in London on September 19 -- drummer Travis Barker said the track from their debut album "When Your Heart Stops Beating," due to be released on November 13, deals with the demise of his former band, reports NME.


He said: "That song is absolutely about the end of Blink-182. It was a classic case of something bad happening and everyone around you not telling you what the deal was.

"Like the owner of your record label telling you, 'Oh, everything is going to be fine. Any press you do, Travis, make sure you say everything is cool!' And it turns out the same dude is part of the conspiracy of Tom (DeLonge) quitting Blink."

He added that the it was forces outside the band who suggested they did not initally confirm the split. "The only reason we were being cool and calling it an 'indefinite hiatus' is because that's what this dork at the head of our record label was telling us. So that's when you find out that everyone was conspiring against you. That makes you go, '**** you. Here's a song about the real deal.'"

Speaking to MTV Barker explained: "'No It Isn't' is about coming out a year later and telling the truth. About being like, 'Yeah, we were on our way to go play a tsunami benefit (Music for Relief: Rebuilding South Asia)', and Tom didn't call, but his manager did, and he said that Tom couldn't contain his **** long enough to play a song for people who were suffering, which was pretty sad to me.

"And obviously we weren't going to say anything bad about him while we were recording our record, but now that it's done, we are gonna talk about it. For a year, people were saying that what Tom did was valid or called for. It eats at you. So maybe you have to talk about it, and maybe you have to write a song about it."

so now Mark is playing with his bass up higher?, what the hell.

and i could be going to both of those shows :-D

[chumpradio]

The live videos of songs that haven't been released yet haven't been impressive at all, but I'm hoping they will be a lot better on CD.
Mark's singing sounds worse than ever from the videos I've seen, his voice is so flat on some songs.

[yourstruly]

yeah, they don't seem to be very good live from what i've seen.

How good friends mark and tom must have been i mean imagine what would of happened to make them start to fight and hate each other like this?Tom started trying to take complete control of a band which was a democracy from the beginning. The last thing Tom said to Mark and Travis was something along the lines of "I can't be a part of something I can't control"..

[Virus278]

"Mark isn’t involved in Atticus, is he involved in FSAS now?

Yeah, I mean he’s always a part of our family. He had interest in Atticus, but now Atticus in fact is Tom. Yeah, he is in our family now!"

Hmm, what are they talking about here? I mean what's FSAS?

- i didn't know Travis was a vegetarian

[chumpradio]

FSAS = Travis' company.
Famous Stars And Straps. They make some nice shirts.

[Eliminator]

What kind of rock star eats vegetables?

such a wuss

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Hey I eat vegetables... And I eat meat.
Hell I'll eat horse **** if you serve it to me on a plate.
What can I say? I like food.

Anyways, onto the subject of blink, kinda:
Has everyone seen the bad quality live videos of Plus 44 on youtube?
If not, I suggest doing so, if you have an interest in Plus 44, as they play new, unrealesed songs, and there's a pretty cool little extention of 'No It Isn't'.
And I'd just like to say that Mark is 678492361764561492594 times better at singing live than Thomas.

[10571z]

Wow. That interview made me sad.. Tom sound really Fu@cked? Its strange? if i had a fight with my best mate i would do anything to repair it. And Tom would be closer to Mark then i would be to my best mate if uno what i mean. It really sad when best friends fight :(!

Ah well ill keep annoying you then :chug:

I think downloading cd's before you buy them sort of wrecks it. I love opening a brand new cd and listing to it. But if you know all the songs it stupid cause you put it in your cd player and you just like hey ive already heard this all for 3 weeks?

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

When I buy a new CD, it happens in one of two ways.
Wanna hear 'em!? Too bad, I'm gonna tell you anyway:

1. I hear of the band from a friend/TV/Magazine/SomeStupidForumOnMX so I download 5 or 6 random songs on limewire. If I like what I hear, I go buy a CD.
2. I've listened to the band for years, and they bring out a new CD. I just go buy it, coz I know I'm gonna like it.

Oooh, and occasionally I get free CD's from my bro, he works at Shock records, if anyone's heard of 'em. They're pretty big in Australia.

And that's my life story.

Goodbye.

[yourstruly]

I never buy CDs anymore, because I'm cheap and never have money for them. I do plan on replacing every burnt CD I own with real copies eventually though.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I have a tendency to buy too many CD's.

And +44 will definitely be one of them.

EDIT, just watching them, one was a musical thing, lasted a minute, and one was mark jokinh about.

[yourstruly]

Thats right, I am back, and ready to play music again....I just had my son, and will never have sex again if this is what's gonna happen. I have been working like mad on a few things. 1) I just finished the best song I ever wrote, ( I know I seem to say that a lot but its true) you will hear it in a few weeks, 2) the gift short film, will be airing on October 3rd I believe and then a live performance a week or so later. I also have been gearing up some major stuff with Macbeth Footwear and Atticus Clothing. Angels has been a roller coaster of a ride, and it is just starting.....I can't wait till you all hear this new song, 8 1/2 mins long, three movements....and the chills to go along. I have been getting a lot of requests about doing interviews to address my reasons for leaving Blink, if anybody wants to know I did an interview about 6 months ago in Kerrang! about it. It is such old news for me; I can't even imagine talking about it again. I love and miss those guys, they are great people, and I am excited for their amazing new future....
Films, games, videos, tours, movies......its all coming from angels & airwaves, sorry I had to go deliver a ****ing human being.....stop being weird.....until tomorrow, today....

[Leatherlord]

I dl'd a few Blink 182 albums a few days ago . . . I've really never got to far into them other than Dammit (I love that song so much). At the moment, I like most of the Dude Ranch album . . . that's about it.

[Ross]

Yeah. Dude ranch is probably their best if you're new to them and are older than about.. 16 ish. It's the most punk-rawk of their most recent 4 CDs.

Tom Delonge... an 8.5 minute song? This could be interesting.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Did anybody else think Tom sounds like he doesn't want his new son?
If so, what an spatula... (Haha, spatula, I'd change it back to ässhole, but spatula is cooler.)
He supposedly left blink coz of family, and now he's regreting haveing another child...
He'd better just be joking...
And

shock records? where are they located? is there 1 in the cbd?

I'm not really sure, haha. I think they're all 'round Australia, but mostly Melbourne based. They bring out some pretty sick bands, I'm pretty sure they re-released Buddha with Kung-Fu in like... 1997ish.

If you just look up 'Plus 44' rather than the attached 'live in London', you get about 3 or 4 pages of live shows in various cities. I heard about 5 new songs that way.

He will be joking, there's no way he is unhappy with having a son.

[Fire Away]

I have to say Tom sounds cooler than Travis at the moment. Travis gave the impression that he doesn't care what Tom is up to, and Tom's saying he's "excited" for Mark and Travis' futures. Unless he doesn't mean that, but I think he does.

[yourstruly]

Yeah, but the difference is Travis was one the one that was shat on, not Tom.

Anyone seen the new short film the "The Gift"?. I guess it's on youtube. It's weird, it looks more like a Macbeth ad than anything. Or maybe i'm dumb and it is a Macbeth ad.

Oh, I just understood, it's just a preview for The Gift, still looks like a Macbeth ad though..

[10571z]

Yeah. Dude ranch is probably their best if you're new to them and are older than about.. 16 ish. It's the most punk-rawk of their most recent 4 CDs.

yeh... I dunno tom think his new music is like the best thing ever. Itll probably just suck

If Tom had said that 5 years ago, you would be lol'ing because it was a hilarious thing to say. Now he's a spatula.

Tom would say anything to get attention though, amirite?

Not really. Man, you guys are acting like Tom being an attention seeker is new. he has been like that all along..

Yeh Deffintly.. His like AVA is going to be the best rock band in the world.It worked i was really amped and i bought the cd without hearing anything. And then i was like so cut.

[Virus278]

an 8 and a half minute song? So is he just gunna release that as a single then? I actually believe him when he says the song is really good (maybe that's just wishful thinking). I mean it would be really cool if it was an awesome song. Also, this "the gift" short movie or whatever - is that just gunna be like a music video or longer than that? (like 10 mins)

[yourstruly]

Not sure. I'm looking forward to it. i'm into the whole beauty of nature vibe AVA has going with some of their stuff.

[brian024]

hey,em does anyone know any websites where i can buya box car racer t shirt?

hey,em does anyone know any websites where i can buya box car racer t shirt?

nope sry

- anyway i'm pretty optimistic about this new song Tom is talking about. Even though AVA's album as a whole was a dissapointment i do think that "the adventure" was an awesome song. If the whole album sounded like that then it really would have been a great album.

yeah, there isn't really much point supporting a band that barely ever existed.

[Eliminator]

tom delonge is hurt deeply

[Surtr]

Guys, the AVA album isn't that bad. In fact, it's a pretty awesome album all considered.

I mean, Tom's retarded, but the album owns tbh. There's not a single bad song on there.

[Eliminator]

ava suck

sorry

[Surtr]

No way man.

Tom's purely 100% retarded and probably should be shot, but the music's pretty good.

There's not a single bad song on that album..I mean, just listen to them and go through it.

[DJ Ducksauce]

If you listened to the songs each on their own, then yes, they'd be good, but as a whole album, it doesn't really flow too well, and it's repetitive.

That's just my opinion though.

[Surtr]

I think it flows fairly decent, but your right it is repetitive. But I'd say it's done like that for a reason. Because it gives the intire album the feeling Tom wanted it too.

[yourstruly]

tom delonge is hurt deeplyI don't get this. I wasn't insulting the band or Tom Delonge. I was merely stating the truth.

..I think the only way he could have typed out something more sarcastic was if he added "<------This is sarcasm"...:amaze: Seriously though, how do you make it through the day without getting lost?

[yourstruly]

I know it was sarcasm. There wasn't any need for it, like I was trying to say.

Then why didn't you just ignore it? There wasn't any need for your reply.

Anyways, don't be retarded because, me > you, k? :p

/AVA, (+44) and Blink 182 related post <-----

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Anyways...
Yeah, even though Tom is a total douche now-a-days, WDNTW is a fairly solid album. And like Lightning Strikes Twice (Sorry, dunno your real name) said, there really isn't one bad song on the album. I don't think I've ever skipped through it, if I listen to it, I listen to it as a whole.
Yeah.. My point is it's a lot better than everyone is giving it credit for. It's deffintly not one of the best rock albums of the last 20 years, or whatever Tom said, but it's still pretty damn good.

[10571z]

valkrye missle - Probably the best song of this album... Would be the worst on any blink 182 album

Distraction- Oh god cut my ears off with hiv infected class. The vocals are disgusting. Boring. repatative. WWWWOOOLLLL BBBEEWWWWWOOORRRR DDDDIISSSSSWAAACTTTIOOON

Do it for me now... Lame effect sounds like the on in VM... boring vocals.. but on of the better songs?

adventure- Ok song. Still Boring as hell. Sound similar to other songs. Vocals are wierd and annoying

a littles enough - wow this is like boring me?

the war - lame drum beat intro... even worse guitar chords...arghh sounds like somthing they would make for a tv show. Shocking

the gift- hahha same effect as another song..boring... still an ok track.. but to long

it hurts - crappy so called riff at the start.. doest flow together.. And just sounds bad. Another boring song.. no hook...

good day - zZZ

Start the Machine- Well Lame doll effect just boring


my crap quick review of why i hate ava. overall i would say this album sucks. People listen to it cause they like tom. Many effects are used over. The chord progression is boring. THere guitar riffs sound crap. I would say if any of these song where put on a blink 182 album they would be known as the worst song on the album without a doubt.

sorry about the spelling

[Surtr]

^^^Worst post ever made in this thread. And that's saying something. You put no thought into what you said at all. You just looked back onto the songs quickly in your mind, using the image you've projected from the album because of how you feel against Tom. It's a pretty good album, that imo is underrated. Each song are similiar sounding, but alot of Blink songs were too. It's the way Tom writes. If the intire album wasn't like it was, do you think Tom would have been able to hammer his story home? It's a theme to it. You can't have a theme if there isn't a theme within the songs that connect. It's logic. Give the album another chance, with an open mind. And forget who's writing it.

Absaloutely agreed. Completely 100%.

The names Stew btw.

[yourstruly]

I like the AVA album. I sit in my room with my lamp on the dimmest setting, and close my eyes. Feels like i'm floating. It's probabaly just me, but it's cool.

[Eliminator]

floating on a magic carpet of horrible music

I hope ur kidding... But really the thing that pisses me off the most is just like in my home town melbourne there are so many GOOD bands trying there heart out to get somewhere in music.. And tom releases this so called cd and will make millions of dollars for a piece of crap. Whoever said AvA is underated you are stupid... look how many cd's he has sold. And his on a world tour.. bands like http://www.myspace.com/closureinmoscow (chemicals inside of me best song) are underated. Take any song and compare it to a blink 182 album it would be the worst song By FAR

You're not the only one...
When I first got the album I was listening to it like that on repeat. I lay down in bed for 8 hours over night, never once fell asleep, and it felt like no more than two or three hours.

The names Stew btw.

Hiya Stew! I'd tell you my name, but if I did, I'd have to kill you.
I'll give you a clue, it's a woman's name, and I dislike it.

Edit: I had a listen to that Closure In Moscow band. They weren't bad, but at certain parts of the songs, it sounded kinda like the recording ****ed up and it was on fast forward. Then I listened again, and I realised I'm an idiot, and it's meant to sound like that.
I like the BCE banner on thier site though. :D

"all we had to do was like 15 seconds of work and 9 months later"

[yourstruly]

yeah, that's a cool interview. Mark looks like he was just chilling at home, then a TV crew dragged him out and onto the set.

I'm 15. And yeah, that was an awsome show.

[Surtr]

I've listened to the AVA album with the lights dimmed and laying down in my bed. It's actually really awesome.

[Untitled]

TBH id just fall asleep doing that, with any album, but especialy AVA. I realy dont enjoy that album.

[MattSharpIsCool]

AVA has more interesting chord progressions than Blink ever did. At least AVA uses minor chords every once in awhile. The one thing I will say about the AVA album is that it doesnt have much staying power. I listened to it a bunch for about a week after I got it, and I've barely listened to it since.

[Kif]

Plus 44 will be debuting their new video for "When Your Heart Stops Beating" this Monday on TRL.

[Surtr]

Sweet. After listening to the (+44) Bootleg (Paris) I'm kinda' questioning how good they're going to be. From what I could hear (The bootleg was terrible quality) only about half the songs were any good.

[10571z]

I dont reckon theyll be awsome.. But more a fun band. good to chuck on at a party and good to mosh at a concert. Alot better then AVA even if you believe you can all float?

[Ross]

I don't like AvA, but hell, I gave that album more than enough chances and I tried so hard to like it but I just couldn't. To be honest I think you (10571z) probably didn't really give the album a chance...

Out of interest, what did you (10571z) think of Blink's untitled album?

And I find DJ Shadow much better for the floating thing :)

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I find a bag of weed good for floating...

Anyways.

I don't care if you didn't ask me, I'm answering anyways, haha.

I love the untitled album, but I've gotta be in the mood for it. Sometimes I just prefer more fun, old-school blink.

hes a moron, you dont need to pay attn to him.

[Kif]

AAA isn't bad chillout music. The album as a whole is really bad, but I think part of that is because of Tom's "Cruisinism" when he said it was the best thing in 20 years or whatever. (+44) have done good in just holding back until they had something to show, and I haven't listened to one song off the new album, so it should be a bit better.

And yeah, that douche has gayyed up the Blink-182 thread ever since he got here.

[Untitled]

I like that video.


+44 are just so much better then AVA, the more i see them the more i like, i mean AVAs video was a bit crap, just tom prancing about, that has girls in it, i couldnt tell if they was hot though because of the picture qaulity.

[Kif]

I really liked that video too. Pretty smart. What's up with Mark's hair too, it's crazy.

[Untitled]

Heh, he's copying my <_<

mines more spikey though.

Few things about mark i noticed, his bass is a lot higher then it used to be, and he has a FSAS shirt on, which i never seen him in before.

[FauxApathy]

Wowz.

Methinks blink is back with a new name and without a whiny second voice. I'd heard the song before, but didn't really like it until I saw the video.

[yourstruly]

Heh, he's copying my <_<

[Virus278]

Hey, one of my friends said that he considers AVA an emo band...

[form]

ask him why he says that and post it here so we can all lol together
