New Blink-182 in April?

This article has been imported from chorus.fm for discussion. All of the forum rules still apply.

Mark Hoppus did a little Q&A on Twitter and it looks like we’ll be getting new Blink-182 music in April.

@BritterrC I believe it's April now.

Very exciting

 

Bring back tom

 

WOOH

 

Eww. No

 

Exactly.

 

new music from these dudes is excellent news indeed, still miss tom, but digging the energy and direction they've stuck to with california.

 

I miss Tom, mainly his presence on guitar, but I am definitely stoked for this! Bring it on!

 

I said it before, and I'll say it again...

I'm really hoping this new material will be better than 'California' because I really wasn't a fan of what they released last time.

 

Travis seems to think these tracks are better.

 

I hope they are...but here's my question...if they are better why weren't they on the record in the first place? I know some were written after but if some were written at the same time, why didn't The make it?

 

Maybe they have a different vibe, so would feel out of place on the original track list?

 

I wouldn't mind tom coming back and cooperating with the other members

 

Tom | Matt | Travis | Mark | Bono

 

Let's see if they can out-do the number of "wooo oh oh ohhh" California had as lyric fillers!

 

Since the original has been deleted, here's a screenshot of the tweet.

Tom could barely make time to work with two people much less three. I hate to say it, but I'm glad he's gone. I still agree that he's great for the band if he can give 100%, but it's been well over a decade since that was the case, and I don't see that ever changing at this point. Instead of going get another year with no new music, they're nominated for a Grammy (which speaks to their success even if you don't care about award shows).

 

Why would you want someone who doesn't even care for the band back ? Do you also believe musicians write better music when they're on drugs and / or unhappy ?

 

Excited for this. So glad it's going to be almost like a brand new album's worth of material.

 

I hope not

 

I only want Tom back if he wants to be back and in answer to your second question, sometimes.
