Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 26

Carousel - OG classic

Ben Wah Balls - cmon. I didn’t wanna vote for either of these but I’d rather hear tom go “wah wah wah wah wah” over and over than mark go “striiiiiiiiIIIngs – strings!” Over and over.

Wasting Time - before I had heard Cheshire Cat, some kid gave me this song on a tape and told me it was his band. i loved it!

Does My Breath Smell? - depends is on the bottom 5 blink songs of all time for me - strings is down there, too.

Touchdown Boy - love the talking bridge. Ripped it off on my 2003 demo POORLY. Cringe if you’d like at 1:39 into this masterpiece:

Cacophony

Sometimes - love mark’s sincerity here.

M+M's - iconic AF. Shame they don’t play this.

They played it back in August at the Nashville show. kOTW was originally on the set but They decided to play M+Ms last minute instead, probably because during sound check when Mark asked if we wanted to hear Wishing Well or M+Ms everyone kept chanting both. Wishing Well was played in the sound check, and we got M+Ms in the Actual set. That being the reason is purely speculation on my part

 

I just realized I put that on my m+m’s blurb. I was LOOKING at wasting time while typing that. Y’all need to anticipate me.

 

Carousel - smdh if this isn’t unanimous...

Wasting Time - see above

Touchdown Boy - love a spoken bridge! See 6/8 for blink’s other spoken bridge.

M+M's - punk > emo or something.
