blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 431

from this one picture of a man in a room, i have thoroughly ascertained the complete interpersonal dynamics of the band and can confidently claim that Tom never came back, it's just an AI

 

Seeing Mark there at Tom’s studio, not seeing John Feldmann, etc has actually gotten me really excited for what’s to come. Soooo relieved that they aren’t doing the Neighborhoods writing/recording long distance thing. Still staying cautiously optimistic, but I am very much looking forward to hearing whatever comes out of these sessions.

 

All we need now is a picture of Tom sitting with a Mark Hoppus signature bass

 

Did Mark dye his hair again?

 

Still need a photo of the 3 of them in studio together, or an interview about how their reunion came about. (aside from the main stuff - Mark's health, etc.)

 

It’s likely regaining its color after the chemo.

 

I think Tom at least is going to be on Benji Weatherly's podcast soon

 

Likely waiting for a rare pokemon to show up because he ventured to San Diego. These things take time!

 

It is such a trip to know they are making a record together right now and seemingly having a blast.

 

Haha, what is this from? I've seen every episode of Curb and don't recall this? SNL?

 

The bit is pretty dumb, but the application of "what was I supposed to do today...? Oh yeah have a blast!" is infinitely funny to me.

 

There is nothing dumb about their perfect 90's parodies lol. Actually was just thinking about this today cause I was watching their Good Neighbor stuff

 

Lol MGK was nominated for best rock album


The end times upon us

 

Blackbear's new album is way better than that MGK album.

 

We could go all day of albums better than it lol

Granted I'm making assumptions cause I've only heard like two and a half songs. But safe assumptions

 

Good for Travis!

 

Happy for Travis and I am cool that MGK is the torchbearer for the pop-punk revival with Travis being the behind the scene's mastermind. I hate that I love 1/3 of tickets to my downfall. I really don't like mainstream sell-out. I have an adverse reaction to all of it. The Grammy's rock category is so bizarre and off-base. So stoked for Turnstile though they are the ultimate breakthrough band and it's amazing to watch them on this run.

 

I think you should check out Hot Mulligan. Best thing in “pop punk” in years in my opinion and if anyone has sort of really picked up the mantle it’s seems to be them in a genuine sense. There’s something raw, original and honest about it. It doesn’t feel like a copy or piggy backing off the success of others to me. I’d recommend checking out their album You’ll Be Fine or their last EP I Won’t Reach Out To You.

Maybe others could chime in to agree or disagree.

 

Hot Mulligan & Super American are def. carrying the blink torch right now, and doing it better than anyone has in years:

 

Hot Mulligan RULES

 

Best pop-punk/skate-punk that comes close to 2000s blink for me.I wish they could go as strong as Pulley on this new album.

 

I just can’t but into a pop punk revival being a solo artist and not a band per say.

Credit to the DIY bands writing big hooks, and songs about heartbreak building their own audience through great songs and performances, and not just the “who you knows” or matching a proven formula.

And that’s not to say there is t a place for the MGK’s, I just don’t think credit or title needs to go to him or any of those artists because I didn’t feel that wow factor.

 

The Unpredictable Life of Travis Barker

 

Would love to see his biographical film. I wonder if it got put on hold once Tommy was in the process of rejoining. Travis also has a never ending list of stuff he's involved with so I wonder if there's a hard time finding an "ending" point to it haha.

I really hope we get some epic footage from this new blink era. Blinkumentary 2.0 bring it on.

PS, will we ever get a mohawk Travis again?
