Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1241

Kerrang's review of Nine:

 

Most bands take the opportunity of a 20th Anniversary release to package with bonus songs etc. but blink just labels it as limited edition and a new colour...

 

Seriously! Give me some bonus tracks like the Enema demos and some b-sides/singles from that era, and also include the first Urethra Chronicles DVD! Missed opportunity...

 

It’s not EOTS but I know where you can get a ton of California Bsides and bonus tracks

This is up on Ticketmaster, but the Ticketweb link is down.

Simple Creatures - 11/18 - Phoenix, AZ - The Van Buren

 

Also a color that’s already been previously released haha.

 

Yeah I agree. I mean I have all of the B sides/live tracks from the singles but having a high quality recording of those demos and a being able to rip the B sides/live tracks off of a CD would be nice.

I really wish I knew better back in the day to buy singles with B sides/live tracks on them when I was growing up. Would be nice to have them in my collection for any band that I really liked. Those singles were usually pretty cheap too, only like 2 or 3 bucks if I remember correctly.

 

I bought all the CD singles from blink around Enema Era. I'll dig them out and rip anything worthwhile but I think it's all prob. already out there.

 

I still have a few of the CD singles too. And I think I actually have FLAC files of every Blink CD single on my computer at home.

 

Yeah all of their singles are out there and extremely easy to find, which is nice because some bands it's pretty hard or next to impossible to get B sides/live tracks. Green Day is another band that's easy to get B sides/live tracks.

Going down the discogs.com rabbit hole I was able to get a copy of this CD recently:

Various - WBCN: Naked 2000

It has WMAA live from 1999 which is pretty rare and never been released anywhere but that comp album. I was also able to get Apple Shampoo live and Dammit live from Warped Tour CDs.

The only other songs I've been searching for but never found have been:

Various - Seasons Greetings 1999

Not sure if the version of WMAA has ever been released as there's no info on it.

Various - P101 V.4

I would love to get my hands on a good quality version of Waggy live.

 

Paralleled with finding their rarer vinyl.

Still on the hunt for an alt cover Shortbus.

 

blink-182 - I Really Wish I Hated You (06.09.2019)

 

Have you heard it?

 

some of the lyrics:

i really wish i hated you
but mom and dad, i love you

 

You can tell I didn’t get a lot of sleep last night because I went “wtf this didn’t come out June 9th...”

 

That’s the song they did with those super producers (watt & tamposi)

 

Nope

 

Meanwhile in Europe

 

Interesting it’s a song that hasn’t been talked about in the reviews or interviews. At least that I know of.

I’m so psyched though. Gonna binge Darkside, BIOMY, GD, and Happy Days now.

 

Matt said that they changed the entire vibe of this song 5-6 times, and also said (kidding) "I really wish I never wrote that song"

 

hell yea think my plan of not listening to this song until the album comes out lasted a good 24 hours, but just seeing the title and artwork now has dashed those plans!

if it was just another band+Feldy joint maybe i could've resisted but i'm too curious to hear their songs with other producers involved

 

They're really all about the neon light motif lol

 

New song is dedicated to all the fans that are hating on the band lol

 

Seems like they didn’t know what visual direction they wanted to go in until they released Happy Days. I’m just glad the rest of the art wasn’t like BIOMY

 

Remind me - were the other singles actually released on the scheduled release day? Or available the day before?
