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

[QUOTE=Bad Blood;13274918]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 [I]need[/I] more chords than that in a pop punk song to make it sound relatively like a Blink song.

Learn how to spell too.[/QUOTE]

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.

[QUOTE=MattSharpIsCool;13276947]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.[/QUOTE]

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.

haha extreme talent, that's a bit far really. hendrix [B]s[/B]hit takes extreme talent, not Blink 182..

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

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

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 ???

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?

There isn't much difference to me.

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

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

[QUOTE=yourstruly;13278281]That song on Dude Ranch called "Boring" would be pretty hard to play while singing, like Tom does.[/QUOTE]

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.

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

[QUOTE=The.Scientist;13283484]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.[/QUOTE]I mean the rythm compared to way you sing the song. I find it pretty hard.

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 [I]boring[/I] 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...

I must just suck then :(

Rofl. This thread just got funny.

Schwoa, Shanna Moakler is on Dancing with the Stars wtf.

She's not very hot either.


Blink songs are simple enough that the "guitar club" at my school is teaching them along with BCR/AVA to beginners.

haha, apparently Travis is macking into paris Hilton on a regular basis, ew[B]f[/B]uck Travis is a [B]c[/B]ock.

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

She looks sort of like a falcon.

[QUOTE=yourstruly;13291840]haha, apparently Travis is macking into paris Hilton on a regular basis, ew[B]f[/B]uck Travis is a [B]c[/B]ock.[/QUOTE]

seth: agree'd

hence why you turn her around

lol?

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

i dont know about you though..

I'd take looking at the back of her head over the back of her though. Who knows what's in there?
