Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 826

Are those numbers essentially final or can it get pushed higher? #190kOrBust

 

Their chart isn't updated but the story sounds like those are the final ones. Idk how they compare to Billboard's numbers either so we shall see lol

 

Saw this posted from a fan site:


Some guys got to hang out with blink for a summer and then never put together a promised documentary

 

Oh god I forgot that was ever a thing

 

the biggest tease of all time?

 

so sad..

 

Side train of thought.... what if the entire Tom/Mark rift has gotten to this point because Mark doesn't believe:

Blink-182: Mark Hoppus Has Different Views on Aliens

 

Have all of you guys listened to Do It For The Kids? It's always an interesting listen.

 

Yesterday I watched the Urethra Chronicles*, and that part reminded me of a recent interview where Mark said he doesn't believe in aliens, so yeah we can see Mark has always been sceptic and Tom's an alien freak since ever.

*I cried at the end

 

"Fucking friends forever"

 

Oh, the blinkumentary. Thems was the days

 

"Every day I have to talk to Mark, if I don't, it's no the same day"- Delonge 2002
"I’ve spoken with Tom one time since 2014 and it was totally genial enough and it was fine. But it’s not something that we’re even talking about"- Hoppus 2016

I just can't...

 

I think the peak of the band, in terms of friendship, was back in the TOYPAJ days, prior to BCR. After BCR, things were never the same between Mark and Tom, it seems.

 

Agreed - Mark has been dicked over by Tom 3 times that we know about now. They mentioned there was another near breakup that didn't reach the masses.

 

Has it been mentioned that the bands disownership of Dogs Eating Dogs goes so far as that it isn't even on Apple Music. Only album missing. But let's face it, it was basically AVA b-sides featuring Mark on some backing vocals (with the exception of DED itself).

 

those songs were way better than ava b sides.

 

Spotify numbers:
Went from
5,531,020 listeners, 167th in the world
to
6,354,637 listeners, 125th in the world
in the last 7 days

 

They were AVA a-sides because Mark and Travis had input lol. Never did listen much cause they weren't really blink songs to me but yeah, way better.

 

Boxing Day and DED(the song) weren't bad though ImO. Doesn't hold a candle to most their other work but those two were alright

 

I didn't think any of them were bad per se, but each song was just further towards their respective side projects than even Neighborhoods. Well Yelawolf was definitely bad lol. DED and Boxing Day were really the only ones I listened to regularly at all.

 

The Watch on blink was okay. It wasn't long enough, it was like, a 20-25 minute talk? I would have liked to hear them actually go into why they think so highly of Neighborhoods and were left cold by California. I'm open to re-evaluating Neighborhoods and definitely understand/agree with certain criticisms of California.

I do actually like Dogs Eating Dogs as a whole, which is maybe unpopular. Even though it still doesn't sound as good as it should, I think the songs are pretty good or I thought it felt more cohesive/focused than Neighborhoods, which is maybe because it was only 5 songs, but I thought there were bright spots. I actually really like the song "Dogs Eating Dogs", I dig "Boxing Day".

 

Bored to Death came on the radio at the bar next door to my work, and I could hear at least 5-10 people singing it at the top of their lungs.


I approve.

 

Hahahahah this is too funny :DD
Also it's a pity she decided not to answer :( But then again, I imagine Tom's yelling to prepare for the BEST and the FASTEST RIDE...

 

This is exactly how I feel about AVA. I was obsessed with the first 2 albums. And liked love1 but had too much filler and then went off them/him by love2

 

Nothing is more depressing than watching UC2 and listening to both Tom and Mark talking about how close they are and have a great friendship. I get that this stuff happens all the time in bands but blink always felt different to me. I always thought there's no way blink would ever be like "Band X" and that was why they were such a draw to me and my friends because of that closeness.
