It's Legit: blink-182 Reunite

2009-02-08 by Jom | 70 Comments
Taken from http://blink182.com/band/message.aspx:

Hi. We're blink-182. This past week there've been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, [w]e're back. We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy.

Summer 2009.

Thanks and get ready...


To coincide with their appearance at the 51st Grammy Awards show, Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge, and Travis Barker have updated the band's official site and confirmed the widespread rumors that the band is indeed reforming.

Whether this is a permanent fixture or a one-off deal remains to be seen, but the fact remains that, according to blink182reunion.com, "the reunion is here."

Stated Travis Barker onstage: "We used to play music together, and we decided we're gonna play music together again."

To help out anybody who didn't understand the message, Hoppus clarified by saying, "blink-182 is back! Thank you."

Watch the announcement and their award presentation for Best Rock Album (given to Coldplay's Viva La Vida...) here:

So... Just a recap.

OK this is literally the chain of events that just went down:

1. I remember how god awful blink-182 was live so I was going to post a video of a live performance, and ask you guys why you were getting so excited over this

2. I go to youtube, and type in "blink-182 live". Wanted to be fair, I decided to find a professionally recorded clip, and settled on their performance of "Down" at the Teen Choice Awards, probably 4 years ago.

3. So I watch the video, to see how bad it is, and after about 50 seconds, I turn the video off only to flip on their self titled, and off course, not posting the video.

So point being, these guys suck live, but I'm glad they are back together.

Oh god I know. Dude shouldn't open his mouth. The whole video was awkward. Mark was the only one of them that seemed happy about it at all.

I always though Mark's live voice was better than on studio recordings. Other way around with Tom though

I love Tom's voice, blink woulnd't be blink without his punk nasly voice. I use to hate it, but it grew on me. Their S/T was very good, I just hope they don't experiment too much on this album, and pull a A&A.

I don't get how people, especially blink fans don't like the untitled CD. It's so good it's ridiculous, its basically it's own genre.

I didn't think so many people would care. Even metalheads seem to be happy.

Why? They're really not an amazing band.
