  1. Lol sorry I was being lazy, should have scrolled back a few pages to see who posted that.
  2. Paul Tollett/Goldenvoice used to book them for shows in the 90’s and Travis has remained friends with him over the years. https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1999-oct-27-me-26738-story.html https://www.audacy.com/blogs/michael-cerio/how-travis-barker-helped-keep-blink-182-away-fyre-festival
  3. Lol yeah I’d be shocked if that happened. I was saying I believe that may have been the initial plan before Travis’s injury. My best guess would be what the other poster said a couple pages back in regards to new single right before the tour starts in early May, and surprise album drop soon after. That would make sense, even though this band doesn’t always do the most logical things lol.
  4. Agreed. Having separate managers for each of them definitely seems to contribute to the poor communication both internally and to us fans. It’s bonkers to me that they haven’t released another single yet.
  5. Even if my hunch is correct about the Coachella thing, I doubt they’re still doing it given Travis’s injury 😢 New music before the end of the month would be awesome though.
  6. I have a theory, based on a friend I know in the music biz and lurking both these boards and the Coachella message boards. I think before the first leg of the tour was postponed, a new single was supposed to come out a week or so before the first show in Tijuana and then the surprise album dropped on April 14. There’s an artist on the Coachella lineup for Sunday April 16 and Sunday April 23 that was added with a code name of 1999.ODDS when the lineup dropped. People have been speculating for months who it might be. I think it was supposed to be blink. They’re one of the biggest SoCal bands and have never played the festival and they have ties to its founders. Their tour is with Livenation who famously will not let their acts play Coachella (different promoter - Goldenvoice) which makes me think they maybe made an exception if they played a surprise set and also it’s amazing promotion for the remaining tickets that haven’t yet sold on the tour since Coachella is live-streamed worldwide. Drop your surprise album on April 14th then play at one of the most famous festivals on the planet April 16th. Huge promo opportunity that would be all over the internet. It also lends a reason as to why blink originally had almost all of April off in their tour schedule. Now, just last Friday, Coachella removed all mention of 1999.ODDS from its app and website outside of the original lineup poster which is interesting given just a few weeks ago they teased on social media about people trying to figure out who 1999.ODDS is. Travis not being healed yet would be a reason for them to cancel of course. Add to all of this, a couple folks on various Coachella message boards + a friend I have in the music biz have all claimed they heard it was blink, and this was before the news of the name being removed last Friday circulated. To be fair regarding the music biz friend, he doesn’t work directly with blink and sometimes the rumors they hear can be the same stuff we hear on the internet and it turns out to be bullshit. But it would also would make a ton of sense if the new plan is what the one person a couple pages back here said - release the new single the last Friday of April just before the tour now starts in May and then drop the album early June. I think the initial plan was late Feb/early March single and April 14th for the album but they pushed the whole marketing push and plan back due to Travis’s injury to do the same thing but now surrounding the “new” start of the tour. I know I’ve gone far down a rabbit hole, but it feels possible 🤷🏼‍♂️
  7. I’ll give this a go. The slots with “or” means they rotate this song throughout the tour. 1. Dumpweed 2. Feeling This 3. WMAA 4. The Rock Show 5. GATC or Mutt 6. Wishing Well 7. I Miss You 8. Pathetic 9. Every Time I Look For You 10. First Date 11. Down 12. Roller Coaster or Online Songs 13. STFTK 14. Always 15. Not Now 16. Man Overboard 17. Wasting Time or M+M’s 18. Adam’s Song 19. Ghost on the Dance Floor 20. Reckless Abandon or Anthem Part 2 21. Josie 22. All The Small Things Encore 23. What Went Wrong 24. Carousel 25. Dammit 26. Family Reunion This setlist can be done in an hour and 45 min and would please both the casuals and the fans hoping for some deeper cuts and older tracks.
  8. This is pretty much all I’ve ever hoped for and it would take such a small amount of extra effort.
  9. Mark, you’ve been my favorite musician and idol since I was 9. I’m 31 now. Your personality and the humble way you carry yourself has no doubt had an impact on all of us who grew up with blink. Thank you for that and thank you for getting me and so many others through all the good times and the bad with your music. We’ve all got your back now, kick cancer’s ass! Sending good vibes and well wishes your way and can’t wait to see you rock the stage again once you beat this thing. Love you man.
  10. I haven't posted in a minute, but I thought some of you might be interested in a podcast I recently recorded with two friends (one a blink fan, the other one listening to most songs for the first time outside the singles) going through a March Madness style blink bracket. Here's a link to the bracket: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1SvadJXfah8mDomXv_z2kdCftQ66l6Oem/view?usp=sharing Here's a link to the podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/top-fives-deep-dives/id1536523391?uo=4 If this is of zero interest, disregard haha. If you do check it out, let me know how you like the bracket!
  11. I really like it. Pleasantly surprised.
  12. Wasting Time Pathetic Dammit Josie Lemmings Dumpweed Every Time I Look For You What Went Wrong Feeling This Not Now Songs that were very hard to cut: The Party Song, Anthem, STFTK, GOTDF, Cynical
  13. Couldn't agree more. He was always my favorite growing up. It's hard to say that now. Having hung out with both him and Travis multiple times, Travis is cooler by miles. So genuine, kind, and engaged. Pretty regular guy for being a superstar drummer. Mark is nice and cordial, but he seems so disinterested with nearly everything. Doesn't seem genuine sadly. He always seems to be on his phone too. The setlist issue has always been Mark. It was Tom who wanted to do the Untitled shows and play the deeper cuts from what I've heard. Tom, for all his faults, was at least always unpredictable and willing to take risks. He made the shows fun in my opinion. And Travis is always down for anything. He would play any song thrown at him.
  14. I haven't been around the boards too much lately so apologies if this has already been posted, but blink will apparently be co-headlining a tour with Linkin Park this fall in the US. Not sure when tour dates will be announced but I have friends in both bands' camps who confirmed this to me over the weekend. I'm a big fan of both so I'd love this, definitely different bands genre-wise though.
