Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 1625

I had no idea Mark had done so many collabs lol

 

The live acoustic version during the enema tour was so good

 

I love this version
Mark at 3:40: "You'll do good Tom, I got your back".

And the ending of All Of This is too good with smiling Tom.

 

Top 5 Mark songs is so freaking difficult. For now I'll say

1. Every Time I Look For You
2. Waggy
3. Chapter 13
4. Emo
5. Going Away To College

 

Saw this on the Blink Reddit

 

...I dont think ive seen this one posted? This is one of my favorite songs ever and Mark comes in on vocals at 2:50

I forgot about this one. It’s likely he had the diagnosis at this point. :/

 

He said he's been doing chemo for three months, so yeah definitely knew since at least Feb/March

 

This song rules

 

yeah him and Dan Andriano sing backups on the bridge

 

I remember Travis saying their next album was about 60% complete around this time - I think it was in March actually. There weren't even vague "we're taking our time" sort of comments then, so it seemed like they were 'all systems go' in March at least. Makes me wonder if Mark was just powering through it at the time, or if he was still getting opinions on the extent of his condition. Can't imagine what he's going through right now. Ugh.

 

Matt recently said new blink was 85% of the way done. So, I imagine Mark was powering through it. It’s Mark…he’s stubborn and loves music too much haha. He’s also been doing his weekly radio show regularly.

Mark also received his new bass in May and mentioned he was was still writing and even played Allen, the luthier, a new song at the time.

If he’s up for it and wants to use music as an outlet…Mark will have a lot to say about this experience in new music. I’m betting it will be his best and most personal work too.

…I feel like I need a Mark bracelet similar to when everyone wore those Livestrong bracelets.

 

I would totally wear something like that for Mark. The fan response has been huge so far, and there is so much support for him.

 

Marks on Twitch right now seems to be in good spirits and said this round of chemo is the first to not completely knock him out

 

The dude from Youth Fountain released a Blink cover last week

 

blink-182's Mark Hoppus on Sunday (June 27) offered his first health update to fans after last week's announcement that he'd been diagnosed with cancer.

The rocker shared more about his treatment for the unspecified cancer during a game of "Blinko" — that is, Hoppus' version of Bingo — while broadcasting on Twitch and taking questions from viewers. The blink-182 bassist and vocalist frequently hangs and games with fans on the livestreaming video platform.


"How am I feeling today? I feel much better than yesterday," Hoppus responded to one question, as reported by Planet Radio. "Yesterday was hellish for me and I woke up today feeling better — I went for a walk, and I had a decent breakfast, and I haven't felt like I was going to throw up today, so we'll take it as a win."

In response to another, he clarified, "On good days, I go do stuff. [Today] was the first time I'd left my house in like, five days, pretty much. But this round of chemo, I wasn't totally stuck on the couch, miserable. I've actually watched movies and walked around and cleaned the house and hung out with my dogs. … I didn't just feel like a poisoned electrified zombie leaning up against an electric fence like I did the rest, the past couple of rounds."

However, Hoppus said he still has to be careful about what he can and can't do. Avid listeners might know the musician is a supporter of baseball's Los Angeles Dodgers. Unfortunately, the blink-182 member is unable to get to games at Dodger Stadium in person right now.

"I can't go anywhere," Hoppus explained. "I wanted to go to the Dodgers last night — I can't. I want to go hang out with friends and go to a restaurant — I can't."

He added, "My white blood cell count is way too low for me to go out, so I am stuck trying to get better. That's alright; I'll take it."

In a June 23 statement shared with Loudwire and posted on social media, the musician revealed, "For the past three months I've been undergoing chemotherapy for cancer. I have cancer. It sucks and I'm scared, and at the same time I'm blessed with incredible doctors and family and friends to get me through this. I still have months of treatment ahead of me but I'm trying to remain hopeful and positive. Can't wait to be cancer free and see you all at a concert in the hopefully near future."

In response, Hoppus' current and former blink-182 bandmates offered their support. Drummer Travis Barker said, "I will be with [Mark] every step of the way on stage and off and can't wait for us to play together again soon." Ex-blink guitarist/vocalist Tom DeLonge called Hoppus a "super-human who is pushing through this difficult obstacle with a wide-open heart."

So sad to read

 

Damn, he’s deep in the trenches right now. Come on, Mark! You got this shit!

 

How Travis Barker Became Gen-Z's Pop-Punk Whisperer

Blink album in 2022 probably with a world tour attached to it. Travis is working on many other projects this year and wants to give full attention to Blink next year.

 

I'm curious if this means Alkaline Trio has new stuff in the works since they're touring this fall.

 

I think the release of the Alkaline Trio EP and Age of Unreason bsides for Bad Religion were sort of their pre tour planned releases. I wouldn’t expect anything new with this your just being postponed, but a split from this two would be neat.

 

How is Age of Unreason over two years old already lol
