[QUOTE=*Blink*182*Guy*]They didnt start it, they brought it to the attention of the newer generations and popularised it.[/QUOTE]

Exactly, they helped to popularise it for the new generations, but there has always been pop-punk since there has been punk.

[QUOTE=the_uber_penguin]I don't know about that.

If you look at what punk bands did musically (bass-snare, or bassbass-snare drum lines, power chords, palm mutes, the way they used the bass guitar, etc...) Blink 182 fit that perfectly up until Travis came in.

Compare Carousel or Dick Lips to punk from 1977 (Still Little Fingers, Cockey Rejects, etc...) and you'll see what I mean.

Travis took what are quite boring drum lines and made them his own and made them much more interesting.

I think Blink 182 [i]were[/i] punk to start with, they just veered away from it when Travis joined because he gave them the scope to be able to and not just sound like a punk band trying to play pop. He allowed them to sound like a unique band, which is why they are so loved by many.[/QUOTE]
Indeed. They are pop-PUNK. Considering that bands like the Vandals, Pennywise, and NOFX helped them get going, along with many other bands, it's kind of hard not to say that they were/are punk.

Blink 182 have always been pop-punk. THE END.

I hope the 13 videos include M&M's, I've only ever seen that once and it was awhile ago.

The 2 unreleased songs are Not Now and Another Girl Another Planet..i believe.

But Not Now was released on Atticus Dragging the Lake 3?

but not by Geffen... was it? Anyway Im sure they just mean not released on a Blink album

[QUOTE=Mr Clean]but not by Geffen... was it? Anyway Im sure they just mean not released on a Blink album[/QUOTE]
It was released by geffen i think cause it was on the uk edition

[QUOTE=AZNGuitaristDude101]But Not Now was released on Atticus Dragging the Lake 3?[/QUOTE]
Its also on the uk "Blink182" cd, its not even limeted ed its on, just a uk bonus track.

Lucky english people.

I'm going to buy the Greatest Hits CD and DVD. For $20 for both of them it's a pretty good deal. I won't get it until late November though, when I have some money.

I'm gonna by the Greatist Hits..and most likely the DVD if I have the money.

I don't think i'll buy either.

I'll probably download the Greatest Hits, and I don't know about the DVD. I suppose I might buy it eventually, but not right away.

Yeah...really they're just the main blink songs on the GH..all the stuff that is basicly from the fanboy retard stage...:(

I'm buying them just to complete my collection.

im gunna buy it on the day :)

Those things aren't endorsed by blink or Geffen. I can't wait to hear Another Girl Another Planet.
