Blink-182 [ARCHIVED] Band • Page 115

I want to know the means in which people are hearing this. There's been a couple of instances that allude to in-person experiences (like the one above).

Is their label flying a marketing team around to play the song for people or what? I am genuinely curious as to how this is all going down.

 

I'd say that most likely, the most we'll get is something like "When I Was Young" where Mark provides some harmonies and some vocal parts that break up the main lyricist's sections. Just doesn't seem like they're going to do a song with no Mark vocals at all, but you never know.

 

I am desperately hoping that means self titled and Neighbourhoods and not Neighbourhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs

 

I think the two best songs on Neighborhoods were After Midnight (Tom verse/Mark chorus) and Kaleidoscope (Mark verse/Tom chorus) so we'll at least see that I think. I'm sure Matt has his chance to shine, Mark and Travis think alot of him.

 

not to lump them all together, but hasn't it been established that most of these radio people don't really know what they're talking about? I would take it all with a grain of salt.

 

After Midnight was the only song on there I'd consider a great Blink song. But I love that song so would be cool with that being the foundation moving forward

 

It's way too close to midnight for me to be rational at this point

 

Also...my phone auto corrects to the British spelling of Neighborhoods, so with a u...not sure why. I've never once spelled it that way

 

Mine auto corrects swear words into not swear words making my sentences make no sense frequently.

 

I don't mean to be dramatic, but for most of us I'm sure we grew up with blink and have tons of memories attached to songs, I even have a special place in my heart for the Up All Night and Boxing Day premiers. We're like a day and a half away from another moment. This kind of shit still brings me back to elementary and middle school summers, and it's better sharing it with people on here because our numbers in real life obviously dwindle. So thanks Jason for bringing us all together for this. Makes me feel like I'm driving backseat in my friends car illegally because he's 13, listening to blink as the summer is about to hit.

 

Haha, I'm not saying he's wrong. It is fun to read people's opinion on the music but I can't help but think that only blink fans will know the answer to that question. I get the vibe that many of these radio people are casual fans and are just speaking out to build hype/notoriety, and don't really have an actual answer.

 

I didn't listen to blink in elementary school. I didn't become a fan until 2006 when I bought Untitled a few months after buying We Don't Need To Whisper.

My elementary school years were full of Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera.

 

I hear you man, I actually can't remember the last time that i had this amount of anticipation for a single.

 

My freshmen roommate was pretty much the same. Then we started jamming together outside of class and we just went on a full blink road trip. Converts are still in the same boat as everyone else :)

 

Ugh. I am so old. I was seeing them down in SD at Soma, the Belly Up, and places like that back in the mid to late 90's.

 

That would have been amazing! I am jealous haha

 

Holy shit. Those videos bring back memories. I remember I was so obsessed with them back then. Trying to download every live video and audio I could. Them breaking up was probably the best thing for me. I finally wondered what else is out there and have just been soaking up music ever since.

 

You are the prince of Blink that was promised

 

I wish I got to catch them live back in those days. Didn't seem them until '01...with my dad.

 

When I saw blink in 2009, the people who had seats next to me were two 70+ year old women lol.

 

Ha! That is hilarious. They were definitely fun to watch. I think they did the Man Overboard video at Belly Up Tavern in SD. Great place.

 

I swear it wasn't me. I'm not 70!

 

Small sweaty venues. We all thought we were mosh pit King's. Kind of sounds ridiculous now being in my 40's.

It was cool though, seeing guys your own age up on stage killing it and getting the crowd involved.

 

I got into blink in the 5th grade when a friend burned me a copy of Enema of the State. This would have been 2001-2002. Then I remember buying TOYPAJ shortly after and working my way through their discography.

Untitled was released when I was in 7th grade, and I was so excited about all of the studio updates and promotion leading up to its release. My mom had a copy at home waiting for me when I came home from school on the release date. I have great memories attached to that album in particular.
