[QUOTE=pazz_10]I don't think it was right to close the Official Thread on us so early. We had been on topic farily good(which is a surprise). Is there any way we could protest to bring back the Blink 182 Thread. It doesn't feel right in here. I had over 500 posts in that thread their closing it off so, no one can reply anymore, it's stupid. But, I think we should protest against it. I know it sounds retarded but, I think we should.[/QUOTE]

One of the points of closing it(I think) was because half the people in there only posted in there and nowhere else in this forum.

yeah, thats it. There was talk of closing the discussion thread, but that would just be harmful.

does ne 1 know the story behind Adam's Song (if there is one) I've always wondered. tell me if you know for sure what it is.

[QUOTE=Independent_CA]How do you know its a real copy?[/QUOTE]

If you ever get a copy of flyswatter the only way to tell if it's the original is the caset itself. If it's not a casset tape then it's not an original because they didn't produce them on to CD. I know for sure mine is one of the originals or a really **** good fake. It even has the name and address of the recording studio they had it made at.

[QUOTE=flfbassist]I refuse to believe what any magazine or TV show has to say about Blink's break. I refuse to belive that my all time favorite band has called it quits until i hear it from Blink themselves. Magazines and tv shows always seem to switch words around, making people believe false things. The sad thing about it is that there are dumb people out there that believe everything the mags and tv had to say. Well enless i hear "Blink-182 is no more" from either tom, mark, or travis' mouth, then i dont believe it. All these mags and shows keep talking about their break up, yet we dont hear anything from blink themselves. Blink loves their fans and would never keep them in the dark, especially about something as serious as this.[/QUOTE]

I think they have been having problems since Boxcar Racer. Hince the long break between the TOYPAJ tour and the new blink record. I just think it was starting to get to them all the touring and producing they were doing. I mean come on if you did nothing but toured and wrote for 10 or so years you would get tired of it and need a break and to explore other things. I mean look at it this way. Green Day has been around longer than blink and are just now getting to where blink was when they put out Enema of the State. Don't get me wrong I love GD but it just took them longer. Blink has really mad some remarkable accomplishments as a band and it's time for a break. I do not see them breaking up for good and never getting back togather. I'll give them 2-3 years to work things out then we'll al get to see the old blink come back and bust some more asss.

I'm not sure but I think Adams Song and Stay Togather for the Kids was about when Marks and dad divorced when he was in his teens. I think don't hold me to it.

I know they didn't make it on CD, but I thought there were some fakes out there on cassette. Maybe not though. Good job to you for getting that if it was real.

I'd have to disagree, Green Day is ahead of blink by a few years. They hit "EOTS Status" back between '93 and '95 with Dookie and Insomniac. Nimrod was ok, but not quite as great as those two albums, Warning was ok, Shennanigans just plain sucked for the most part, and the new album is really good. It sort of marks their return as a band. I read an interview with Billy Joe where he said that before they recorded, they all basically sat down and said "We're 34, why the hell are we still doing this, and you remember that thing you said to me when we were 17? That was not cool." So you see, after a kind of long break, they worked out their differences and made a comeback.

Anyone else think its a bit wierd how Travis as a person is the most punk of all of them, yet when he joined their music got poppier? The maturity of the self titled album is a good change.

I can definately say that the thread for Mark's new band (cant remember their name right now) will end up with more Blink discussion than its own.

hi, im new on the forum and since i cant start threads yet i thought id ask here, can anyone find me a correct tab for the snare toll thing that travis does after the first clean chorus in 'Feeling This'. or should should i go buy the sheet music?

go buy the sheet mesic, or just keep listening to the tab. When did blink write dude ranch, was it when they were struggling or when they semi made it.

I agree 105% :D It was pointless to close that thread..especially since we just got a new blink thread started..re-open it..if idiots spam like crazy (I've done it before) then ban them..use your mod powers. The mods in this thread don't use their powers..that's why there's so much spam and ****. so to sum it up..RE-OPEN OFFICIAL BLINK THREAD! BAN IDIOTS WHO MAKE DUMB POSTS!..do that and I think everything will become :thumb:

I do agree with that 100%..I just think if the mods would wake up and see that this thread is dying, then they could maybe do something. Idiot's wouldn't spam as much if they knew they'd actually get banned..I got pissed off at points to..although I did some spamming myself. I say we re-open the thread, if someone spams there banned. That's it..simple and also easy to inforce as long as the mods actually ban and the such.

yeh this thread probably get more post then any other. of a long period of time . other threads just go.

I agree Greenday hit mainstream music when they released Dookie. Also, Greenday has accomplished more because they already won 2 grammys. I think that it would be nice if blink won a grammy to finish off their career.

me also

i just relised. okay blink 182 said oh we need a break from bands we wanna spend time with our family so then wat does mark and trav go do spend wtime with there family no they start another ****ing band wtf how does this make sense

It seems the last horse finally crossed the finish line.



.....They obviously didnt "take a break" to "spend time with their families". They "broke up for good" because "mark and travis were both pissed at tom."

When Kroq asked this to Travis, he said that he actually enjoys touring and has no problems with it. I guess they just needed a break from BLINK.

I dunno, it seems like there was a falling out between them. None of them are really taking a break from anything (with their side projects and all), and i think travis enjoys playing drums in general and dsent care with who he plays with. And Tom had all the credit for songwriting on the self-titled, so i think that blink broke up for good because of the inevitable "creative differences" all bands will have.

im really into blink, but its okay if they broke up for good, cause there's a time for every band where the members have to let it go cause its just not as fun as it used to be...

the thing i dont understand is they said they planned it for a long time why wouldnt they postpone the hiatus for 1 more day and play the dam show. it was obviouly a falling out between mark and, tom or travis or tom and mark , trav.

and it must have ben a BIG falling out, cause they couldnt even wait one more day for a good cause...

Only Tom said that he wanted to spend time with his family - so I think that it was mainly him who really wanted to split up and the other two were ok with it cause they had some other stuff they had to do aswell - but I don't think Mark and Travis' reasons for splitting up was the main reason - I think Tom's was because the other two obviously didn't need a break that badly

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]and it must have ben a BIG falling out, cause they couldnt even wait one more day for a good cause...[/QUOTE]

exactly

Falling out as in a break maybe. Again if you saw Mark last week on Fuse, he explained the whole thing and didn't seem bitter about anything that was going on. Being blink-182 is their job, and even though they love it and enjoy it, the need a break. They probably want to try other things, and they do have a lot of changes going on in their lives right now. Maybe Tom was just having some personal problems or something, you never know. Afterall, part of what inspired "Adam's Song" was how difficult it can be to be in a band full time.

I thought Tom's wife was pregnant? This would probably be a good reason he wanted a break.
