Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 162

Revolution Radio is miles ahead of California imo

 

I'm not going to even bother to comment on this. I stopped liking Gd years ago and I'm still a fanboy of blink as you guys well know. I cannot make an unbiased discussion on this cause y'all KNOW who I'm gonna say.

 

Is it true that Apple Shampoo is about Elyse Rogers from Dance Hall Crashers and this song is a response?

I looked it up and the only thing for certain I could find is that "Josie" was the name of her dog and Mark did confirm that's where it came from.

I'm obviously like, 15 years late or something but finding this out is cute if it's true.

 

I grew up loving both bands and they were both insanely influential to me. I can very easily say GD is the overall better band when it comes to musicianship and writing. Though both reply heavily on formulaic writing.

 

Whoah this is all news to me

 

Yup! Truth!

 

My stance on the whole blink vs. Green Day thing. I like blink better than Green Day. I think Green Day puts on a better live performance than blink. I have more fun at blink shows though because I like their songs more.

 

My thoughts exactly!

 

We agree on that and avatar pictures apparently lol

 

YEP!!

 

Thanks for sharing!

"And as you walk away
Please believe me when I say
That it meant everything
To me too"

Definitely sounds like a response to

"Remember the time we shared
You know it meant everything (everything)
You know that it meant everything to me
You know that it meant everything to me"

 

Mark knows what's up

 

A little off topic, but for those of you who want to know me a little better:

Where You Want To Be is my #11

 

Oh god.. Love top-lists! Definitely will check some of these on Spotify later, starting with Brand New, I see that name keep popping up in my face every once in awhile.

Here's my "Top 10"

00. The Beach Boys - Pet Sounds

01. Weezer - Pinkerton
02. Keane - Hopes and Fears
03. The Strokes - Room on Fire
04. Goldfinger - Hangs Up
05. Blink182 - Enema of State

12. Alkaline Trio - Crimson
13. The Killers - Hot Fuss
14. Lit - A Place in The Sun
15. Billy Talent - Self-titled
16. The Used - Self-titled

 

That album by Lit doesn't get enough love. Kudos for that one.

 

Do some homework

 

"Enema of State" and "A Place in the Sun" are like time capsules for me, you play the opening tracks "Dumpweed" or "Four" and it's like time-traveling back in 1999.

For those who are not familiar with Lit, Blink182 approves (cameo at 1:21)
