Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1190

Ah I stand corrected!

 

Youth down to 28 on the Alt chart. Wonder if they send Darkside to radio, I hope so

 

I’ve heard a new single may be going to radio soon. But not sure it’s that.

 

This has really good sound quality

 

I can’t imagine ever wanting to go to a show to hold my phone up recording the entire time.

 

Is it actually the fulllllll show??

EDIT: Damn. Missing “The Party Song.”

 

LMAO I remember this. “You fuckin crooked ass little bastard”. The blood pact videos around the Crimson era were so fucking good. I wish someone would upload the “dib-dub” one

 

Yeah and they randomly cut out like the beginning and ends in places, like Gary is done after the bridge, don't quite get it haha.

 

This is a classic haha

 

"Just came here from listening to Flyswatter and can't help think WTF happened to blink 182?"

Your Youtube comedy for the day

 

You’re thinking of it the wrong way. They heard Flyswatter and thought it was fucking terrible and are surprised the band that made that ended up decent. That must be it...

 

I'd agree with this for lots of other songs but Int'l Players Anthem is literally flawless, there isn't a single second of that song that isn't brilliant

 

PREACH! I also can't STAND the people who sit there and post entire concerts on their snap stories

 

Apparently Mark met Tom on August 1st 1992 so yesterday was the 27th anniversary.

I remember walking past their garage that day and hearing them play and now I just listened to BIOMY on youtube and threw up in my mouth. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU GUYS?!

 

Agreed. It’s a never-skip in a shuffle.

 

Ugh. If it weren’t for all of their growth in talent, hard work, and wild success almost 30 years later, they’d still be playing music in their moms garage like I want them to. Fuckin sell outs.

 

AbsolutePunk.net getting name dropped on this week's episode of Blink-155. During the interview with Daniel Gray Longino around the 1:42:44 mark it starts. I don't think they know chorus exist.

 

Well, they're missing out on Dark Mode if that's the case.

 

Correction. At the end of the interview the host says "they're Chorus.fm now." I'm still sure they don't know about dark mode though.

 

Folks... my 23 (hehe) year old intern asked me yesterday what kind of music Blink-182 was. “Are they metal?”
I thought it was a joke. I’d never encountered one of these whippersnappers before. “When I was in high school this band was EVERYTHING to me - still kinda is!”
“Are they big?”
“Ya! Tens of millions of records sold, still playing huge venues, etc.”
“Are they like the Beatles?”
“I mean... to me! But, no - not really” haha “still PRETTY big though!”

So, okay, luckily my entire collection is in my edit bay so I crack it open and he seems genuinely interested so I wax poetic about the importance and exciting world of liner notes and CD singles. As I’m putting it away to do some actual work, he says to me - he says “I’ve never heard their music before.”
What?! WHAT?! “Not possible. You’ve accidentally heard I miss you, ATST, or WMAA before.” Didn’t sound familiar to his memory at least. “Who else do they sound like?...”
*scoffs to self (in a fun way)* “huh. I mean I suppose Green Day?” (Not gonna stray down the skate punk forefathers path)
“”
Oh man! Okay, maybe he knows newer pop punk? “All time low?”
“That’s the name of a band?”
Haha. I’m 100% having the time of my life here because I’m salivating. WHAT DO I PLAY HIM FIRST??
So I throw on miss you. I gotta see if he’s ACTUALLY never heard a blink song. HAS NEVER HEARD IT! “This is great! I like this!”
Oh hell yeah!
“Are the kinda like All American Rejects?”
“I mean, yeah kinda! If you like AAR, you’re gonna love blink.”
“Oh man I LOVE AAR! Do you like ‘Swing Swing?’” He asks
“Oh man, I think you’re REALLY gonna like blink!” I says
So I play WMAA - blank stares, but he really digs it!
ATST - not until tom says “carry me home” does it kinda jog something in him.

anyway, he’s like “man I’m gonna get into them!”
We go on to talk about how he’s really into metal (and AAR apparently) because I play him first date and he asks if I like when they “play fast like that.”
“Oh man - the faster the better!” (which was said more as a funny response than truth now that I think about it more.)

All in all, that was such a trip for me and super fun. He liked everything he heard, I told him a readers digest version of the history and that tom’s not there anymore and somehow their live show came up and I was ripping a lossless copy of MTATS for a buddy so I played him some of the banter. We laughed about how most of it wouldn’t go over well in 2019 but for a 16 year old in 2000 it didn’t get any better than this. “They’d be great in one of those trek movies!” EXACTLY! He gets it.

now to get him to become a supporter on the site...

 

what a world.

 

oh man what a rollercoaster of a read! haha must've been something for you

 

Also, isn't it interesting that (I'd say the majority of) metal kids (that I've come in contact with, anyway) have blinders on from anything non-metal?

 

Insert "awful pussy hair bands" joke here.

 

Who are the Beatles
