As if Mark Hoppus would be any good at slap. And Neil Peart is an awesome drummer.

i know hoppus plays with a pick, but somebody on here said they saw a video of him playing slap bass and he was a lot better than people think since he has such simple bass lines with blink

and i never said neil peart wasn't an awesome drummer...actually i said he IS an awesome drummer...just said i dont like his setup, its too complex for my liking...but at least he knows how to rock a set that big

I couldn't be bothered to listen to the whole podcast. : /

Lazy Ben. I haven't got to listening to the podcast yet.

It just sounds too boring if we don't even get atleast a preview of the music.

:(

If you've been playing bass for 15 years, you at least know HOW to slap.... Even if you're not good at it. He uses a pick normally, so he's probably just average.

I think Josh Freese is Better than Travis, and that's still in the Pop-punk genre.

He's never really had to be good for the music Blink has made. So i guess he's just made do with it.

Whoever says Travis is an amazing drummer makes me lawl.

he amazes me are you lawling..???

The whole "TrAvIs SuXoRs wOrSeR dEn DiS gUy" thing gets really old, really fast, and has no reasonable outcome.

amen......

so who actually bought the greatest hits... i did ive listed to it once.. but now i have the whoole colletion so meh

My parents got it for me for christmas... I may not open it. Leave it preserved for years and years, never listened to.

I'm making money now, so I might get it eventually, but there are other CDs I wanna get before that one.

which ones...

im getting there only chasing safety soon (underoath)

I got the Greatest Hits for Another Girl, Another Planet and so I'd have all their available albums.

Today I got Millencolin's Home From Home for $4. Good bargain I say!

That'd be a dollar for every good song :D

But I want the GH for the bonus DVD stuff aswell

Oh...you don't think it's good? Oh well. I wanted it for Man Or Mouse.

That bonus DVD stuff goes for about 5 minutes. It's nothing to get excited over to tell you the truth!

From what I recall hearing it's Carousel and Whats My Age Again live recordings and Rock Show and Feeling This making of videos, and thats it. Am I right?

It's the making of Feeling This, I Miss You and Down, and some live recordings that we've already seen on Urethra Chronicles 2 anyway...they could've done such a better job!

To many to name, there's so much music on my ipod which needs replacing with purchased music.

Tom is a better guitarist than he gets credit for.

He's not brilliant, though.

Yeah, and the whole "Tavis is an amazing drummer" is pathetic and shows why a lot of people hate Blink fans.

[QUOTE]he amazes me are you lawling..???[/QUOTE]
Yeah actually.

I still am not bored of the Plus 44 song. And the AAA Movie trailer is great music as well. I cant wait until January for the single.

[QUOTE=Bad Blood]He's not brilliant, though.[/QUOTE]

Yeah i agree, although hes never been a Micheal Angelo, i still respect him for his skill.

He makes what he does sound good. That's all that really matters in pop punk.

Tom isn't one of those guitarists that can improvise or shred. I mean, he's not even that good. But I love his way of playing and song writing. I remember when blink was making blink 182 their latest album, they had those videos of Tom and Mark writing songs. THat just made me want to get out my acoustic and write songs. Anyway, Tom looks fcking cool with his strat.

I still haven't bought the Blink 182 Greatest Hits CD. My sister has it, so maybe I will steal it from her and give it a listen to.

Ive not baught it, i proberly won't to be honest.

There's only 1 song on there I haven't heard, so it's not a big deal if I buy it or not.

If you have all the other albums... There is no point.

I agree about Tom's guitarring, and the view on pop-punk in general. As long as it sounds good, that's what really matters. R&Mers who jib on about 20 minute epic shred solos making a song are frankly wrong. (Oz, who am I talking about? ;))

i just bought it to compete my collection :)... if i have kids i wonder if theyll like blink?

Ok first of all, SHUT THE F[I]U[/I]CK UP BRANDON! I'm a drummer myself, and I'm not a total piece of crap one either, I know what good drumming is. Travis can play, and I'd say he's one of the better drummers around today.


Second of all, I have the Greatist Hits, it's not anything great, I had all the songs except for AGAP.

So! I just borrowed my sisters copy of the Greatest Hits. What to say? Nothing really, it's a bunch of songs that are alright. I would have chosen different songs, but Geffen did it for the money. Another Girl Another Planet, first time hearing it and it wasn't bad. I'm going to download it now, and forget about buying this. If I stummble across it on sale somewhere and have the money, maybe I will buy it. Nothing special.

hahaha i just saw the travis barker add so funny...

for boost mobile?

Been I while since I posted here, I just stopped in to say that the new Plus-44 song on their site is rad.

yeh i agree, would have prefered to have heared more of the female singer though. sorry cant remember her name

Woo, ive been invited to 2 new years partys already.

And nevermind the buzzcocks is the only show on tv that gets me crying with laughter every episode, its amazing.
