Barker: Blink May Not Reunite

2008-09-05 by Jom | 27 Comments
Journeyman drummer Travis Barker, now currently playing with +44, recently spoke to Metromix Los Angeles about the possibility - or lack thereof - of a blink-182 reunion.

I don't know. You know, to be honest with you, I haven't spoken to Tom [DeLonge] in five years. I speak to Mark [Hoppus] every day - he's one of my greatest friends - so that's the status of that. I think everyone would have to be friends, and I think we'd all have to want to do it in order for it to happen.

For the ill-informed, the renowned pop-punk trio went on an "indefinite hiatus" in 2005 after releasing the self-titled album in 2003.

Tom Delong is a huge douchebag and an awful singer. To be honest I'd rather them reform without him. I thought the songs that Mark sings on were far better anyway.

I wasn't really holding my breath for this just because Tom really is just a huge asshole.

I thought it was pretty obvious they weren't going to re-unite once they went hiatus. Tom Delonge is a huge douchebag.

Wait, did anyone actually think "indefinite hiatus" meant anything but "we're done"?

Hah I always thought it meant "We're done...unless in 15 years we need money."

So here we go with the weird infatuation of Hoppus and Barker. Personally I think Barker is an annoying pretentious piece of shit, and Hoppus is cool, well the interviews I've seen with him.

DeLonge is just on a whole different page and is being as creative as he can possibly be, which is totally cool. He may say that his album is far better than it actually is to you, but he's giving a go at it. Contrary to him, Plus 44 is nothing new, it's just a boring pop punk band that sticks with what they've been doing for years.

DeLonge ftw, even though I couldn't care less about any of them.

"DeLonge is just on a whole different page and is being as creative as he can possibly be"
Which produces completely uncreative results...which is why he's absolutely worthless.
Look, no one is ever going to say that any member of blink is God's gift to music...but Barker and Hoppus are just so much more tolerable than Tom DeLoon.

I really do think Travis Barker is one of more annoying drummers out there. I really hope they get back together. Anything to stop the noise that is known as '+44'

They won't reform now, they'll do a police and do a cash-grab when they're older. Reforming now'd be pointless because the current musical climate is very anti- pop-punk. Unless they grow some killer fringes they'll be disappointed.
