Official Blink 182 Thread

[bottlerocket]

That's a really, really good picture of blink-182 in their prime.

Someone want to resize that to mod avatar size? Like...250x350 or something (something in a similar ratio). :D

[DJ Ducksauce]

So, what's everybody's thoughts on blink coming back to finish the last album?

It'll hopefully be at least half decent since they had already been recording some of it prior to the "indefinate hiatus".

[B]

lol

i smoke lots of pot anyways :)

thats better sized for mod avatars. :D

[bottlerocket]

Rep ++ for both of you.

Thanks a lot.

[Surtr]

Thanks Gav.

Rep++

(And yeah, I know that made no sence AT ALL)

[bottlerocket]

I'll rep ++ that, too, for Christmas! :thumb:

I have 3004 rep points so my rep is worth a lot so enjoy it.

I never give out rep, either, so this is like the first time ever.

[DJ Ducksauce]

I never give out rep, either, so this is like the first time ever.

Only because Gav points are cooler and worth more amrite?

[bottlerocket]

They are!

Here, have 2 GPs.

GPs came back in the day...way before rep points were introduced here and before I even knew rep points existed. GPs are old school.

[Surtr]

Haha sweet.

Thanks man.

[British Kid]

They are!

Here, have 2 GPs.

you can have the rep back :p

i'll take the GP's

[bottlerocket]

Haha, rep whoring ITT.

I listened to the Buddha Demo version of Enthused and I'm impressed with how finished the song sounded; barely any differences between Dude Ranch's version and this one. It even had the feedback at the beginning and Tom played all the palm muted parts.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I dont know what it is, but I've been listening to Blink a lot the last few days. I havent given them a proper listen in a really long time, but I've been binging on them lately.

I still need to get my tickets for the +44 and AVA concerts....they're probably sold out by now, but I'm still gonna try.

And on the topic of underrated songs, how about Strings and Emo?

[bottlerocket]

Great songs.

[lunchforthesky]

strings is great but emo is probably the worst song on dude ranch, its still alright though

[Fire Away]

The lyrics in Emo confuse me a little.

Why leave when you claim it is love?
But why stay when you're not the only one?

Wouldn't it be, "Why stay when you are the only one"..?

[DJ Ducksauce]

No, I think they mean the other person is cheating.

[The Chemist]

reebok commercial seems to never get any recognition as a good song

[bottlerocket]

The lyrics in Emo confuse me a little.

Why leave when you claim it is love?
But why stay when you're not the only one?

Wouldn't it be, "Why stay when you are the only one"..?

This:

No, I think they mean the other person is cheating.

I think he means the boyfriend is cheating, too.

Reebok Commercial is an awesome song.

[FauxApathy]

Emo is probably my favorite blink song.

Up there with Man Overboard and Carousel anyway.

[bottlerocket]

SO SORRY
IT'S OVER

I don't care what they say in the interviews. That song was clearly written about their take on what happened with Scott.

From my understanding of it, I blame blink (Tom and Mark) mostly. Scott really did get a crappy wrap.

[lunchforthesky]

they kinda of marginalised him out really from what ive read. i bet hes plenty rich of dude ranch and cheshire cat sales now.

[Surtr]

SO SORRY
IT'S OVER

I don't care what they say in the interviews. That song was clearly written about their take on what happened with Scott.

From my understanding of it, I blame blink (Tom and Mark) mostly. Scott really did get a crappy wrap.

...But..Scott was with them when they wrote that song/album.

[bottlerocket]

When they wrote Man Overboard?

Whoops...lyric confusion!

I'm talking about Man Overboard, not I'm Sorry on Dude Ranch. :lol:

[10571z]

You cant know who to blame cause obviously we dont know the whole story about why Scott left. But I think you can count on Man Overboard being about Scott.

[lunchforthesky]

the opening to im sorry has some of the worst singing on any record i own.

its still an ace song though, blink can be proper crap and ace at the same time.

[Virus278]

Emo is probably my favorite blink song.


Ya, i love emo. I think some other overlooked Blink songs are Zulu, and Wrecked Him. I really like those songs.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Woo, Zulu is fun.

They need a B-Side release like A3 is doing.

[10571z]

the opening to im sorry has some of the worst singing on any record i own.

its still an ace song though, blink can be proper crap and ace at the same time.

Hhaha its not bad! I love the bit where Mark sings "sorry sorry sorry sorry" IT HAPPENED TO YOU!

[lunchforthesky]

Dont bide your time
cause it is almost ooooverrr

[bottlerocket]

And I knowwwww it hurtssssssss
BUT YOU'RE JUST getting OLLLLLLLLdddddeeerrrr
Aaaaand IIIIIIIIII knooooOOOOOOOwwww you'll wiiiin
YOu'll DO IT OOOOOooonceeee aaagaiiinnn

[lunchforthesky]

his singing kills me on that song.

ive know idea how he got that on a major label.

[Surtr]

I love that song, especially the part where he just repeats "I'm Sorry" over and over.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I'm Sorry is a really cool song.

So is A New Hope....that one took awhile for me to embrace though.

[bottlerocket]

his singing kills me on that song.

ive know idea how he got that on a major label.

Yeah, which I tried to convey with the random capitalization in the lyrics.

Tom's voice is awful but I love it.

Singing is about conveying some kind of emotion musically. Some people prefer "good" singers, but take a look:

Bob Dylan
Conor Oberst
Jimi Hendrix
Sting
Jesse Lacey
James Taylor

All not really good singers that just kept working and working at an original sound and are famous because of it. Not only that but everyone on that list (save Oberst) is regarded as a musical diety. :p

[lunchforthesky]

my favourite bands for pop punk are thursday, brand new, the early november, new found glory and jimmy eat world none of whom have a singer who can sing, especially thursday.

[bottlerocket]

The dude from The Early November can sing really well.

[lunchforthesky]

The dude from The Early November can sing really well.

You think so. i like his voice but i don think hes a good singer.

[bottlerocket]

I think he's a pretty good singer.

[B]

have you heard ICMAMLNB

because he sings really well

[bottlerocket]

Even the song "Something That Produces Results" showcases his voice.

[Bad Blood]

You think so. i like his voice but i don think hes a good singer.


what

[lunchforthesky]

ha i guess everyone disagrees with me.

[Bad Blood]

how can yyou like his voice

but

you dont think hes a good singer.

[lunchforthesky]

tom delonge is a bad singer in terms of his singing ability but i like blink and his voice.

[bottlerocket]

Conor Oberst is a "bad" singer, technique and training wise, but I like the way his voice sounds.

That as opposed to someone who's been vocally trained for years and has a "good" voice but you don't like the way it sounds.

Vocals are all about originality and just doing it the best you can.

[lunchforthesky]

completely agree. neither ace or conor are great technical singers but id rather have their own sound than be perfect singers.

[10571z]

my favourite bands for pop punk are thursday, brand new, the early november, new found glory and jimmy eat world none of whom have a singer who can sing, especially thursday.

Id disagree ... Id actually say all those bands are quite strong at singing compared to band's such as Set your Goals, Lawrence arms and against me. Jesse Lacey Is an awsome singer i think

[MattSharpIsCool]

So what is everyone's favorite Blink cover song?

I think all of them I've heard have been pretty good, but I really like "The Girl Next Door" and "Dancing With Myself"....good tunes.

[Surtr]

Dancin' With Myself is deffinatly my favorite.

[DJ Ducksauce]

My Boyfriend's Back with Travis on vox mos def.

:p

[MattSharpIsCool]

I forgot to mention their version of "Genie In A Bottle"

That might be the greatest song ever.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Haha indeed.

And then when they follow it with 13 miles, it's awesome.

13 miles is probably their best joke song.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Yes you're right, that is the greatest song ever written.

And every now and then he and I would sit together on the porch.
And I'd, take off his pants and I'd **** him from behind.

:lol:

[10571z]

Im On Another Planet With You>>>>> With You!!

[Untitled]

My Boyfriend's Back with Travis on vox mos def.

:p

Never heard that one :eek:

[bottlerocket]

Genie in a Bottle and Dancing With Myself are my favorites.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

My favs are The Girl Next Door and Another Girl, Another Planet.
Also, thier live cover of A Letter To Elise was great.

[10571z]

Oh yes A Letter To Elise was amazing :)

The Longest Line

Tom is the only person to have ever sung that flatter than fat mike.

[lunchforthesky]

loll

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Tom is the only person to have ever sung that flatter than fat mike.

Didn't Mark sing it?

Well whatever. Whoever did, they were flat :p

[Kif]

"Feeling This" came on Scuzz the other day and it made me sad :(

[Surtr]

"Feeling This" came on Scuzz the other day and it made me sad :(

I knoez.

Anytime I hear any Blink nowa' days it's like..":( I feelz sadz"

[Bad Blood]

i dont

:)

[British Kid]

has anyone listened to the electronic mix of "when your heart stops beating" on +44's myspace page? I dunno if its on the CD or not (i haven't gotten around to buying it yet :() but i'm really digging it. You think this is what mark was talking about when he first mentioned what +44 would be like a year ago?

[Untitled]

Lol at work yestoday, there was a kid sat in a car, and he had Dude Ranch on, soooooo loud, it was soo funny, this little 13 year old kid rocking out to it, i felt a slight nostalgic.

[chumpradio]

My band had a gig on Friday, and our drummer found out he couldn't play a few hours before we were due to be on stage. We ended up sticking one of our guitarists on drums, and played a few Blink covers. It went a lot better than we expected, the crowd seemed to love Blink when we thought the majority would hate them.
We ended up playing Dammit, Carousel and What's My Age Again, and would have done Going Away To College but the guitarist didn't know the drums to it.

[lunchforthesky]

At one of my old bands first gigs we played like eight blink covers haha. We were only 14 or so though it didnt seem that stupid.

[Ross]

We played the Sex Pistols and Ramones. How ol' skool were we? :p

[MattSharpIsCool]

We played AC/DC and Lynyrd Skynyrd. How old school were we? :p

[Surtr]

I played Greensleeves at my first gig.

I'm more old school than all of you.

[Virus278]

has anyone listened to the electronic mix of "when your heart stops beating" on +44's myspace page? You think this is what mark was talking about when he first mentioned what +44 would be like a year ago?

hmm, u've got a point...maybe your right, idk. This version is pretty cool. So, does anyone have this version on their computer (like an actual file version)? Also, anyone have Stars in the Sky? I have a live version of that song if anyone wants it...

[10571z]

Isn't it called 'Star of Bethlehem' now? Coz it's on some random christmas album, along with that Plus 44 cover of whatever song they covered... It was bad.
YOu can download Star of Bethlehem at http://www.b182.com.
I can't be bothered giving a direct link, it's on there somewhere if you want it.

[Surtr]

What a bad song.

I don't mind most of the other AvA stuff..But jesus 'kin bloody goddamn christ Tom..Wake the 'kin hell up and stop writing piss tunes.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

What a bad song.

I don't mind most of the other AvA stuff..But jesus 'kin bloody goddamn christ Tom..Wake the 'kin hell up and stop writing piss tunes.

Yeah, it's a pretty bad song.

Plus, the first 4 minutes can be cut out, and you don't really even notice the difference. Actually, it probably makes the song better.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I liked that song...

It wouldnt hurt if the instrumental part at the beginning had a little more going on, but I thought the song was pretty good.

[DJ Ducksauce]

All AVA songs are decent on their own, but strung together on one allbum and all of them having 2 minute intros gets really old. Not to mention a lot are repetitive.

I liked the Christmas song when I first heard it. Kinda long intro as usual, but it was decent.

It's got nothing on I Won't Be Home for Christmas though.

Were we listening to the same song?

That thing is wayyyyy too bloody long. Power Metal bands couldn't pull off a 4 minute intro, wtf makes Tom think he can?

[10571z]

I Won't Be Home for Christmas...

That's a damn good song!

123...

Poo poo do you like BCE new album.. IMO it's **** vocals are the worst part... Lyrics are shocking.. So many BBBBBBABbbbyysss

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I don't mind the new album, but Josh's a good mate of mine, so I like to support 'em. I still like the bands music though.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Were we listening to the same song?

That thing is wayyyyy too bloody long. Power Metal bands couldn't pull off a 4 minute intro, wtf makes Tom think he can?

Nothing wrong with a 4 minute intro, as long as there is actually stuff happening. Thats the only real problem I had with the AVA song, is it was that same effect or whatever looped about 6 million times with some variations.

[yourstruly]

I wish Ryan stayed with the Distillers, **** AVA and **** Tom Delonge. The Distillers are so much better.

[10571z]

I wish Ryan stayed with the Distillers, **** AVA and **** Tom Delonge. The Distillers are so much better.

I reckon he probablly joined just because he knew he could make millions of dollars.

[FauxApathy]

heh, sounds about right.

I mean, When I first heard about AVA I thought it was going to be complete ****. I still believe it.

But if Tom asked me to join I wouldn't turn him down. I don't think anyone here would.

[B]

exactly

why do you think tom is even doing it haha

[Surtr]

Aside from because he's a ****in' gay retard who thinks you can fly, if you believe hard enough????

If you look past that, it's the money.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I'd sellout if I got the chance to play in a band with Tom.

Oh, and I'm seeing +44 tomorrow! I have the excitment in me!

[MattSharpIsCool]

Good to see you guys kept this thread busy.

I just got back from the Plus 44 concert, and it was crazy good. Its pretty amazing to think, Mark and Travis were in one of (if not the) biggest rock and roll band for about eight years, and here they are playing in a tiny venue, it was awesome.

They played the entire CD, and Travis was a madman on his snare pedal.

[Untitled]

I wouldn't play in a band with tom, i think his arrogance and over self belief would piss me off to a point where i would want to kill him or myself.

Id love to see +44 live, but i have noone to go with, and the venue in Manchester say its sold out, even though i check again now and it says its not. confusing.

[DJ Ducksauce]

Man, I missed them here in TX...

:(

Hopefully next time.

[10571z]

Im so cut there is a tour comming to Australia with bands such as - Plus 44, Hit the Lights, Houston Call's.. Its going everywhere in Aus except Melbourne. Its stupid seeing Melbourne is the 2nd largest city in Australia.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

From what I remember the basic chords for most of it are D, A and G, I think. That's just from memory though, but try them out.

[Surtr]

I could probably check it out, but since your rep is worth the same no matter what your major Rep++ is really nothing other than normal Rep++.

[Bad Blood]

i'll rep you everytime i can.

MAJOR REP++

[MattSharpIsCool]

That band was so horrible, and they annoyed the hell out of me. Yet I want to watch the videos again....

The best part would have to be his seizure during All The Small Things.

Has anyone read that 'Tales From Beneath You Mom' book?
Man, my band had more people at our first show than blink.
That makes me feel so cool...

[lunchforthesky]

Yes. It was okay but not worth the money.

[10571z]

I loved that book... Pictures were really awsome :)

[Bad Blood]

lol

you read books because of the pictures

lol

[Surtr]

It's all he understands..And he doesn't even understand that, he just pretends he does.

And I've never read the book, nor felt like it.

c'mon thats mean

Because he's an idiot, or was, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

i know i just wanted to say "rattle so hard"

haha

[Surtr]

Hahaha.

Anyone miss the feeling you'd get when you listened to Blink? I NEVER get that anymore..I usually just get the desire to change the song.

[B]

same here

i honestly cant find any new music that gives me that feeling anymore.

i used to be able to but now i cant and it sucks

[Ross]

That's ****ing hilarious. I want them to come play at my party next year.

[10571z]

lol

you read books because of the pictures

lol

Lmfa0.

I was more pointing towards the fact you get to see pictures from there early shows and early fliers which I could never find on the net.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Yeah, I remeber seeing a picture of Mark in that book, with long curly hair, edging on an afro. I :lol:'d so hard.
For anyone who hasn't read the book, it's actually a pretty good read.
But most people hate reading, so whatever.

[MattSharpIsCool]

How many ppl were there?

200 or so, I'd guess. I'm really bad at estimating the size of crowds, though.

[Surtr]

200 or so, I'd guess. I'm really bad at estimating the size of crowds, though.

That's like 30 more than I guessed..Wow.

And lmao @ thinking about Mark with an afro.

[lunchforthesky]

200 or so, I'd guess. I'm really bad at estimating the size of crowds, though.

How come the venue was so small, their playing to about 2500 people the UK.

[Bad Blood]

Lmfa0.

no.


Great post.

[Bad Blood]

no.

[10571z]

God your wrecking me. I have really dont want to waste my time being a badass fighting with "badblood" over the internet.

To continue the discussion. I saw plus 44 just doing a single song on leno and i thought travis looked really akward like struggling to play. Anyone seen them live? how did he play.

[TheBigMachine]

stfu man BB >>>>>>>> you

Barker, from the vid's I've seen looks pretty natural when he plays. Pretty relaxed. Sometimes he cramps up though.

[MattSharpIsCool]

He has a tendency to look a bit awkward at times, but that might be because he has to hold one of his arms out of the way the entire time.

How come the venue was so small, their playing to about 2500 people the UK.

Was that at a festival or something? Because as far as I know, their entire American tour is in small venues.

[lunchforthesky]

Nope headlining tour in March. Its already sold out too.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Oh, well....I don't know then. I'm sure they could play bigger venues on their tour here, but for some reason, they aren't.

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

Haven't seen 'em live, but I've seen plenty of videos.
He seems pretty comfortable usually.
At some shows he plays with a drum stick in one hand and a cigi in the other, so I'm assuming he's pretty cool with it.

[MattSharpIsCool]

Ya, he did that when I went to their show. I didn't even know Travis smoked, so that kind of surprised me.

[lunchforthesky]

I might go see them but their pretty generic so im not sure its worth my £15

[10571z]

15 pounds you kidding! Thats cheep as.. but i guess currency works out... How much would a 17 year old get paid per hour ?

[Ross]

£4.50 or something would be a fairly normal wage where I am. Lower if you work in a pub, more if you work in a supermarket. Double if you have the sense to get an office job.

[Surtr]

hahaha :h5:

I've got your back to mate.

OK, we really need to get back on topic lol. So shouldn't Travis' arm be healed by now. I mean, how long has it been? Almost 2 months now?

EDIT: Does anyone know off the top of their head what page we had that discussion about basses?

[Surtr]

I'd say his arm is healed by now..

[Bad Blood]

I DIDN'T KNOW EITHER LOL

i just cained my dad/bro at poker. that makes me.... £23.50 up :)

[MattSharpIsCool]

OK, we really need to get back on topic lol. So shouldn't Travis' arm be healed by now. I mean, how long has it been? Almost 2 months now?

Considering he played with it broken for an entire European tour, it's probably gonna take a little longer to heal than usual.

[TheBigMachine]

OK, we really need to get back on topic lol. So shouldn't Travis' arm be healed by now. I mean, how long has it been? Almost 2 months now?


And that said, it's not always unusual for that kind of thing to take two months.

[Get Fighted]

I know this will sound stupid, but what is the story with Travis's arm? I've heard different things like it is broken, I also heard he ha cancer cause' of too much bud smoking. Someone explain please :)

[TheBigMachine]

I always just thought it was broken.

actually, that didn't seem too bad to me, and i really hate tom's voice anyway. sounded like he could have been drunk or high though, IMO.

[MattSharpIsCool]

I know this will sound stupid, but what is the story with Travis's arm? I've heard different things like it is broken, I also heard he ha cancer cause' of too much bud smoking. Someone explain please :)

I think he fractured it while they were making the music video for WYHSB. They then proceeded to go on a European tour, and Travis couldn't figure out why his arm hurt so bad. So three months or something after he fractured it, he decided to get an x-ray, and that's when he found out.

And ya, I remember hearing something about a tumor on his arm that might have been cancerous. But I'm pretty sure it turned out not to be.

Oh, and I didn't think that video of Tom was that bad. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears, but other than that, he sounds pretty much like...Tom.

[Virus278]

i'd say check back about 10 pages for the bass stuff, but im not sure.

I found it. It was actually 20 pages back on page 565 but thx anyway. So is a Les Paul a type of Gibson?

In other news: Wow I hate this thread.

[lunchforthesky]

I hate it when people post solely in the Blink thread and jock over AVA and +44 despite their blatant genericness.

[Surtr]

I don't understand your post, please repeat in a more normal manner.

genericness
This word makes no sense at all to me, unless you are refering to genres.

[Fire Away]

He means generic. Generic-ness.

Thank you. The word I don't understand there is "jock".

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

I think he means he hates it when people come in here just to talk **** about Plus 44/AVA... I think.
Damn poms, can't understand 'em.
(Only joking, both my parents are English, don't take offence, haha.)

[Surtr]

He means generic. Generic-ness.

Thank you. The word I don't understand there is "jock".

Oh, that makes sense.

And I don't understand the word in the term he used either :p I think he just meant "Go crazy over"

[lunchforthesky]

:p to clear up, i dont like how some people only post in the Blink thread and dont bother to check out all the other good pop punk bands and go crazy over +44 and AVA when there are a lot of better pop punk bands around.

pffft plus 44 are good but a bit boring and nothing special where as AVA are awful.

i wholeheartedly agree with the post which has been posted before this one which is above this post posted by lunchforthesky.

[bottlerocket]

So how about blink-182?

[Bad Blood]

who?

[lunchforthesky]

Blink are great obviously. This genre wouldnt exist without them. Id say half of what i listen to is directly influenced by Blink.

[bottlerocket]

Um...

I think pop-punk would've existed without blink.

The Offspring?
Green Day?
Descendents?!

Blink hardly forged the genre but they definitely molded it and made it into what it is today.

Yeah but most if not almost all pop punk now is the Blink style of pop punk. Green Day was more punk and later more rock where as Blink were more pop and most popular pop punk bands are a lot more like Blink than Green Day and The Offspring.

Pop punk has got more poppier and that is down to Blink's influence.

[Bad Blood]

i lold when i unlocked travis barker on tony hawks project 8.

[lunchforthesky]

ha its hard not to dislike Travis nowadays.

[bottlerocket]

I guess I agree with you, after hearing your side. You're right. :p

What do you mean...you're saying it's easy to dislike travis? Why?

[DJ Ducksauce]

Because he killed Scott. :angry:

[lunchforthesky]

I guess I agree with you, after hearing your side. You're right. :p

What do you mean...you're saying it's easy to dislike travis? Why?

He's a bellend.

MTV reality shows, plays drums on everything he can get paid for.

Yeah and he killed Scott.

[bottlerocket]

LOL @ BELLEND

I figured Travis would be like...really, really cool.

What a bummer.

[chumpradio]

plays drums on everything he can get paid for.

Maybe he like....just...you know...enjoys playing drums. Just a bit of a quick thought.

[lunchforthesky]

I never liked him much anyway but when i met him he just seemed like kind of a tool.

[bottlerocket]

He's just really shy.

I saw True Life: I'm in blink-182 and he was just really shy.

Even Mark and Tom said like, "If we can make Travis laugh, we feel like we're the funniest people in the world."

[lunchforthesky]

I didnt like him beforehand though, he seems quite pretentious and quite ungrateful to his fans, but id really already made up my mind before meeting him.

[chumpradio]

Travis always seemed like a nice guy who was just happy to be in the band and to be making music. Everyone says he is a tool etc, but they have no good evidence to back up their claims. Seems like they are just jumping on the bandwagon because they claim he changed the band too much and that their cd's with Scott were better.
Travis wasn't the reason Blink turned poppier, it was the change to a major label. And it wasn't even a fast change, the only reason Enema sounds significantly different to Dude Ranch is because the production is vastly superior.

Just my little belief on the matter of Travis hating.

[bottlerocket]

^ I can totally back that.

I dont think Travis changed the band at all. I think the band was always what Mark and Tom and later just Tom wanted it to sound like, other than in drum work i dont think he had much influence compared with the other two. Im not jumping on a bandwagon because ive never really liked him. He might be good on drums but for Blink material he really adds little more than Scott did. I dont blame him for anything seen as i wasn't a Blink fan before Enema of the State and i think that and Dude Ranch are on a par as their best albums.

Enema was a big change from Dude Ranch, before Enema they sounded more like a poppier NOFX but you could here very little of their more punkish roots after Dude Ranch.

[Surtr]

Yeah.

Travis can't be blamed for anything really, as he didn't have any real influence at all, other than drums. But he really did no more for Blink than perhaps take them in a somewhat more serious direction (Personality wise, because Scott would have been more like Mark and Tom and tried to dick around as much as possible).

[Neoteric]

Anthem and Anthem pt. 2 are the best Blink songs.

And I don't care what you think :mad:

Good post. No one has met Travis but alot of people think they know what goes on behind closed doors. The part about the production quality is also very true as if you listed to the enema state demos it doest sound as clean and poppy as the final versions.

erm yeah they have.

me for one.

peggy sue, carousel, enthused, going away to college are my fav blink songs

[poo-poo-pee-pee]

My favourites are the mostly the more serious blink songs.
Adam's Song, Stay Together For The Kids, Man Overboard, Stockholm Syndrome, Wasting Time, I Wont Be Home For Christmas (Best Christmas song ever written) Pathetic, Dumpweed, Obvious, Dammit (live, it's the best live song ever written, but on the album, it kinda bores me.) Enthused, What's My Age Again, Anthem Pt. II...

I think I'll just say I like every blink song...

[MattSharpIsCool]

Really, there aren't too many Blink songs I don't like.

Travis is definitely a different personality than Mark or Tom or even Scott.

Once you stop finding poop and boners funny, you lose all reason to live.
