  3. I was browsing the Blink sub on Reddit yesterday, and came across a guy in the comments of a post claiming to have unreleased footage from the Zane Lowe interview. I messaged him asking if he could share and low and behold he sent it my way. Just a couple clips that didn't make it for whatever reason but super interesting answers they give to a few questions. Dives a bit deeper into some touchy subjects

  9. This thread is for you if you are uncertain something is worth making a new post about, if you want to ask simple opinion questions, or if you wanna make a statement expressing your love for blink. Have fun with it and try using this more than you use the new topic button. I'll start: It hit me this morning that we're gonna get to hear Mark/Tom doing vocals on the same song in a matter of months. This makes me so happy.

  12. on february 17, 1995 cheshire cat was released on grilled cheese/cargo records on both cassette and compact disc. a vinyl release (the "red eyes" edition) would not follow until the summer of 1996. in honor of the album's original release, here are some gems from that time... cargo announced the release with this sheet, mailed to record stores, venues, and show promoters. note that the release date of "17" is handwritten as there were some delays and uncertainty about when the album would be ready. the formats listed are both CD and cassette. this is the first release on the "grilled cheese" imprint for cargo, with a catalog number of GRL-001: the mailing also came with the band's 8x10 promo photo glossy: but the band had been circulating the album as an advance cassette for weeks prior with two different covers xeroxed on goldenrod cardstock, because the tapes were ready before the J-cards were: so the tape inside was just the same as the one released on february 17: there's been confusion over the years regarding the album's release date, because the (P) and (C) are noted as 1994. that's because the album was mastered and pressed before the new year. remember, this is early in the year. so no 182 yet! the band would not make the name change official until august 3, 1995. pressings of cheshire cat carrying the name change were first sold on the good times tour in the fall of that year. the cassette release had a simpler version of the band's thank you notes: the CD had more elaborate artwork featuring photography by kerry key. note that the picture of scott was taken in the studio during the recording of the album: the band was busy playing shows around the time of the album's release, like this one with unwritten law a week before. note the joke that the album will be "available on CD and cassette late february if jeff doesn't screw up anymore," referencing the production delays and uncertainty about the release date: and they played a record release party at SOMA on february 24 opening for strung out. other openers are tiltwheel, rhythm collision and openfast. thanks to board member @Kjblink182 we have scans of pictures taken on the stage that night: in a bit of shameless self-promotion, tom is wearing a blink shirt featuring the blink bunny as drawn by court jones: note tom's ampeg VL-1002 head and slanted cab. he had not yet customized it with the 'blink' placard in place of the lighted ampeg logo. i have no idea how the band played in jeans that night, they must have been burning up. and tom has not one but two t-shirts on. SOMA was hot! note rick devoe sitting on the stage. he had been their manager for four to six months. mark is wearing jeans too! these kids are crazy. you might recognize mark's blue-green hair color here. it's the same as the picture inside cheshire cat. even back then, mark jumped a lot. and landed awkwardly every time: that night, promo posters were handed out celebrating the album release. they could also be found at record stores around the san diego area: and of course, cargo promoted the album by placing advertisements in local skate magazines and other punk outlets: well this concludes our little trip down memory lane to twenty five years before. i would not see blink live until the summer of 1995. i sure wish i had been there myself for the release of cheshire cat. what about you?

  13. holy fuck I'm shaking. Producer calls me at 12:15 says he'll be calling back in about an hour. Called at 1255 and it was Mark pretending to be the producer, I mentioned how blink-182online was a place where we promote the band, post memes and talk about everything blink-182 and by that point I knew it was him. 120% fan girl, started shaking and he asked if I had a question for the band, no warning for this, and I froze. Mark starts busting up laughing and then said he appreciates Blink-182online and to keep doing what we were doing.... So if you wanna hear me fan-girling and freezing like a douche, tune in!

  16. It happened and I didn't know it because Instagram wasn't loading at the arena so we didn't see Travis' post and had no idea DWM and OMT were in the setlist! I was blown away when Tom said "I can't believe I'm doing this, we're playing this song for the first time ever" and it was DWM. The crowd was so wild with the olès, it felt like the song had been out for weeks, not just 24 hours. It was incredible. During Dammit my friends threw me in the air, first time crowdsurfing at a blink show 😂 when Dammit was over everyone was starting to leave, but Mark, Tom and Travis came back on stage and Tom said "this song is about us" and played OMT. Tom sounded great on OMT at soundcheck today when they played it twice so I don't know why his voice cracked and couldn't sing it earlier, but I guess they were really drained at that point, I've never seen Mark and Tom play with this kind of energy and they even exceeded the usual 90 minutes, they played for 105 minutes tonight (!!!) I knew this show was going to be great, but I didn't know it was going to be THIS GREAT. They sounded amazing, then the banter and the stupid things they said. They were really the band we fell in love with when we were younger. It was never like this when I saw them on the untitled tour and all the other times during the first reunion. Italy didn't disappoint, crazy sing along, everyone in the crowd was dancing and moshing, they sang all the riffs lol (on anthem pt 2 it was so comical but I loved it 😂) and I could see that Mark and Tom loved the crowd. They were in a bit of disbelief when everyone sang MTYK and DWM so loud. I bawled my eyes out during all Adam's Song because of Mark's speech, but for the rest of the time I had this huge smile on my face and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else in the world. They have the world on the palm of their hands right now, we're really living one of their best eras. Best show ever of my favorite band ❤ I'm writing here because we're talking about DWM and OMT live, tomorrow I'll post some pics and videos on the tour thread.

  19. This place has been bouncing the last week, it’s always been divided and it’s what makes it thrive, how boring would it be if we all loved new blink. We’d have 5 pages of “yeah great song” and it would fizzle out. Instead we have 50 pages of utter carnage. It’s great when you come back on after 10 mins and there’s been another 20 posts to read through, old members coming back and new ones signing up.

  20. Who's excited to see THIS movie?! I got bored so I sat down for a few hours and made this poster. The idea was @_Kyle_'s and I thought it was funny so I ran with it. If this isn't worthy of it's own thread, go ahead and merge this with the GD or move it to wherever is appropriate. I didn't actually expect this to turn out cool. Haha. -------------------------------------------------- EDIT: New version that I like more:

  23. this is officially my favorite song of this era. even if there are better songs on the album, i will always associate DWM with how happy i was at the craziest blink show i've ever been to. and it's a staple live song already, i'm sure it will never leave their setlist.

We use Microsoft teams at work but what I didn’t know is that client uses google for their meetings. So I click on the link they’ve sent over and my display picture is me with Tom from about 15 years ago. I had to present to the fucking president of one of Asia’s largest supermarkets with this flashing up on the screen whenever I spoke 😂 Not the end of the world and they saw the funny side. The presentation went well too haha

  35. That was the best blink show I’ve seen since way before the reunion, maybe before Untitled? All three of them were all in, they respected the songs and gave it their all. No awkward or forced moments. They didn’t fall back on their crutches (that goes for both Mark and Tom), it all just felt very natural and organic. I feel like I was just transported to an alternate universe where everything I observed was deleted post-2004 and watched a blink show in 2023. The respect for the songs was 100% back and better than it has been in at least 20 years. This being their first show with only a few rehearsals gives me major hope for greatness to come. What the fuck did I just witness?

  38. Buffalo show tonight was amazing. Just too short. New songs sound really awesome (especially San Diego) and the old tracks definitely have some new life in them. Violence, for example, is a track that I have heard live way too many times, but on this tour, with Travis' drum solo and the crazy pyro, it was a highlight of the night. Banter was fine, but it's clear that Matt and Mark are not quite at peak Mark/Tom level yet. Still, a great night. Have to post this picture because it was a bucket list moment. The Buffalo venue is attached to a theme park, and my brother and I spotted Travis with a whole crew of people walking around. We asked him for a quick selfie and he said "Defintetly!" He turned right around, shook both of our hands and took this photo. He was just super nice and genuine. Didn't seem annoyed by the request in the slightest. We saw him again a little later on a roller coaster and he was the same - waving at and high-fiving people the whole time. I know I had a ten second interaction, but he really seemed like a good dude who appreciates his fans. Was really cool and it made our night! (I am on the left)

  39. "I don't want an incredible legacy to be ruined." Legacy? The guy who demanded to record in his house and sent emails to his bandmates rather than record like every other functional band wants to talk about legacy? The guy who didn't even listen to the masters of his comeback album of "the band he personally founded" wants to talk about legacy? The guy who spent an entire reunion tour wearing the shirt of his other band wants to talk about legacy? The guy who showed up night after night hammered drunk, screwing up every riff and singing out of tune wants to talk about legacy? The guy who had the audacity to promote Stomping the Phantom Break Pedal after making everyone else put their lives on hold to record Dogs Eating Dogs wants to talk about legacy? The guy promised people *for years* that Blink would finally record as a band again wants to talk about legacy? The guy who backed out of a recording contract because he found it "hard as hell to commit" wants to talk about legacy? If ANYONE has the right to talk about legacy, it's the guy who dropped everything he was doing to fly across the Atlantic to record an EP. Or (better yet) the guy who woke up in a burn unit after watching two of his best friends die after his plane fell out of the sky and immediately wanted to get into rehab and back on stage with Blink. There's only one person in this band who ruined the "legacy," and he's the one giving this interview. Give us a break, Tom. Give us all a break.
