Lol that’s the fakest shit ever. If that’s real I’ll drink my pee

What frustrates me even more is when you read the comments of certain posts from that account : on certain discoveries (such as the small club show in 1997 and that One Track Mind show with Scott that I found last year) I've seen comments saying "Amazing work on the account and always great content with those discoveries"! ... I'm probably not going to detail how I research stuff from the timeline website here (because obviously I'm my work is for sure going to be copied) but I'm very peculiar on certain words and trends : spending hours researching content and rare stuff and then finding some amazing gems is such a joy and a blast! Doing posts like "On This Day" and then copying and pasting stuff from the timeline website does NOT count as personal work. Last week, I even saw one of my picture that was used in a post and of course absolutely no credit ... 😔 I don't want to sound like a brat, but yeah this is such bullshit (saying it in a french accent of course) I'm glad that my work here at last is being appreciated but yeah I wanted to say how I really feel about this whole issue

Never done this before, but I'll give it a shot Feeling This 10/10 Obvious 10/10 I Miss You 10/10 Violence 10/10 Stockholm Syndrome 10/10 Down 10/10 Fallen Interlude 9/10 Go 10/10 Asthenia 10/10 Always 10/10 Easy Target 10/10 All of This 10/10 Here's Your Letter 10/10 I'm Lost Without You 10/10 Not Now 10/10

These types of message boards were always the best, it's not even close in my mind. I'm glad this one still exists.

Wow that’s terrifying if true lol, it’s probably because we’re all frighteningly old.

Also I’d like to add, I’m glad these forums still exist. You guys might be the most level headed blink fans on the internet congrats. Lmao Ok I’ll go back to lurking the forums until some actual news comes out again.

I was 16 when We Don't Need to Whisper came out. So this theory can get fucked.

Not my proudest wank

Where were you on August 1st, 2022 when the Funko Pops were released? A day for the books

I'm all in and ready to be disappointed

I know the lyrics are dumb but I love GMOGR lol

I’m listening to some shitty radio station in Chicago from wales ffs. Absolute state of me

Enema of the State is a pretty good album isn't it? Just listened to it in its entirety for the first time in years, didn't even skip All The Small Things.

what other proof do you need?

this is the 100% pure blink drama we love to see

Just posted this on the socials. Was fun looking back at. This site was on my rotation (along with blink online) when I got home from school. I still have a shipping box with the Loserkids logo on it at my parents house that the blink untitled album preorder stuff came in 😂

Feldmann wrote them ages ago.

can’t ban me bitches I just hacked cheerios account and i’m still going to punch speedo’s teeth out!!!

on it. i fucking hate italia.

Alkaline trio is great. You cunts are nerds.

The weird thing about all this hysteria is that the media who have talked about it have all referenced Tom posting a throwback pic as their supposed reason for reporting on the rumors. But Tom has posted tons of throwback pics of Blink over the years... I just counted 14 Blink-related instagram posts just in 2022 haha. Tom adding Blink 182 to his bio would make more sense to get excited about, but the articles all reference the throwback pic. Either the media are morons (most likely) OR there actually is some kind of smoke to the fire that some music biz people know enough to hint about.

See ya mate.

It’s normal for them, no wonder theres so many shootings though, I’ve listened for about 20 mins and ordered 3 guns and 48 Grenades, I can’t cope

It’d be so funny if it’s literally just the fuckin’ ugly ass dolls.

How much you all wanna bet Tom will be wearing this shirt every night on the reunion tour.

very off-topic, but this person is using an AI tool in deezer to separate vocals/instruments in blink songs, and unlike the usual tools for that sort of thing, it works surprisingly well. these instrumental versions are perhaps the clearest iterations of these songs i've ever heard outside of the available stems. here's a very cool one:

Gonna be real awkward when we all think Matt’s out and Tom’s coming back but they actually pull in fuckin’ MGK like a terrible bait and switch.

I mean it pretty much lines up with what we know is going on. No clue if Tom is involved or not, but if he is, it’s just preliminary long distance stuff. I don’t think it could be kept a secret if Tom was suddenly driving to LA to record with Mark and Travis. And with all they have going on I’m skeptical of how serious any of their “studio” stuff is. Long distance, mostly working by themselves for sure. If Skiba wasn’t touring with Alkaline Trio right now it would be way more suspect. I think this is an Occam’s razor situation. Whatever Mark and Travis are doing is very independent and uncoordinated. If Tom is involved it’s still going to be independent and uncoordinated. I don’t think anyone knows what going on for sure, and it’s as simple as that. Seems like Skiba should be more privy to what’s going on than to make that public post though? But he has never really seemed to be in the loop. Who knows. What a weird band. Has been since 2004.

And compare that to here, where a poster yesterday said that he still feuded with me mostly out of respect for our 15 year tradition of making fun of each other 😆

I’m craving a new album ffs, I want to tear it apart and call everyone a cunt. Good times

Look at all the guests we have online right now, makes me horny. Hi kids!!

read the room

Transparency is not blink’s strong suit.

I thought I was over the band but the fuckers have sucked me right in for fuck all. I’ve ignored my kids for the last hour ffs.

All of this for fat headed toys. Turn me over cus I'm fucking done

I just had back to back mini heart strokes by reading the comment about blink.182.com and the tweet above my comment. 😡

Fuck I wish

I think its about the connection to the music and the singer. If they’re singing their heart out about something that seems personal but it was written by three random dudes it’s harder to have an impact. If as the listener you know the singer is performing about their own life and experience you can appreciate the song more on an emotional level. im a songwriter though so I know I’m heavily biased on this subject.

Who meets a celebrity and tells them they aren't a fan? At that point don't you just pretend? Imagine a grown ass chud telling you they aren't a fan and then asking to pose for a pic. I'd be a dick too 😂

I don’t know these people so what I say means nothing. I’m specifically referring to the things we see as fans and we’ve seen a lot of assholish behavior in their professional business over twenty years, the least so from mark of course. If I specifically referred to them as an asshole I didn’t mean that and just meant it as a descriptor of the situation we’re discussing. And humans tend to be more of assholes professionally and often need to be unfortunately because people will fuck you over, and then really great in their personal life (and from the outside mark has always seemed like an amazing person other than potentially the politics of the personal relationships of his business) which is what matters most. My observation has nothing to do with how I view any of them as people other than to me they seem to not be good at maintaining healthy relationships in this business through communication problems. Again I’m a fan that knows zero, all we do is make observations off the tiniest data we have. tl;dr were fans. We make observations based on tiny random interactions that mean nothing because we don’t know anything about these people. That’s what this site is. Every person on here has said negative things about every member of this band for some reason or another over the last twenty years, far more horrific than just saying one seems to potentially be displaying asshole behavior over a specific thing that happened. If someone on here knew Tom personally as a good friend in present day or even Travis with all of the pop punk and kardashian jokes, they’d probably have a stroke. Not trying to make this into a big deal, but if you know mark personally and are friends (which is great) you might struggle to continue to enjoy the blink section because the band can’t seem to stay out of drama and don’t think that’s ever going to change at this point and fans are going to speculate and continue to say dumb shit, and this website has been known to say toxic shit for years at least in comparison to something like marks discord. Just if I knew a celebrity, I wouldn’t be able to monitor their fan pages because I know dumb things are going to be said about them which will conflict with how I know them personally.

Update for the timeline website! I am currently in the works on updating the timeline website, making sure that everything is correct and that all links work! A few of the links expired unfortunately and I am looking in my archives to upload all the pictures, flyers, ticket stubs, posters that are currently missing on the website! It takes a TON of time but I'm sure that it's worth it 😃

In this ever increasingly streaming world, I'm sure there are many out there that have moved to playing most or all their regular music directly through the likes of Spotify. And that's legit, who can blame you, the vast majority of music is on there, and for a small monthly fee you get legal access to it all. It's a great model, but it does mean that some music slips away, like b-sides, rarities, many live recordings, etc. Now you can integrate your personal library of songs you actually own into your streaming service, but not everyone does that, and I'm not saying NOBODY remembers these songs, I'm just saying that I do believe some music is becoming more obscure than it may have originally been to begin with. One that I've always loved, but seen next to no appreciation for over the years, is the official Tom Lord Alge Arrangement of Down, a b-side for the single release of Down, which if you haven't heard, is pretty much the single version of Down, with an interesting extra little refrain of Down Down Down at the end that hits differently than the other ways that Down, Down, Down is sang in the song: In that same vein, they also released the James Guthrie Mix of I Miss You back then too. Was interesting how they kinda toyed with doing more remixes and stuff back then. But this isn't limited just to the Untitled album, it can be anything and everything like that Good Times cover or that unreleased song from the Nine sessions, Falling, etc. etc. What's your favorite blink recording that seems to be getting forgotten with time?

You could have prevented this, @Kay.

Just want Mark, Travis & Skiba to get in a recording studio and just write about 15 songs and focus on them over the space of like 5-6 months then someone like Neal Avron or Bill Stevenson popping in from time to time like Jerry Finn did with the smiley face album or +44 album. Don't want co-writers or other producers saying there's no "classic blink" sound, saying there's no song that could be a single or asking what makes blink-182, blink-182? Especially don't want co-writers talking over each other and jamming with a guitar whilst other co-writers are shitting out a verse in 5 minutes. I rate Nine as a good album but this method of recording an album would make a way better album I think. Definitely would be way better than the pile of trash called California as well.

because @Kaybrought it up, i listened to NINE in the car today for the first time in maybe over a year. i'm fine with the production overall and the writing is OK. i just listen to it like a +44-skiba type thing and not as blink. the lyrics overall seem to be very skiba and not as much mark... taking all her meds, sleeping with her friends? drinking, drinking, drinking... dumps, breakups... mark has been happily married for like two decades. none of the words on this album seem to be coming from any of his own experiences. i am a tempo person. so my biggest complaint is that travis has settled into only two kinds of songs: faster than fucking fast and slow as dog shit. give me a bunch of tracks with the tempo of like pathetic or josie or even don't leave me. but it's either a WICKED GALLOP that's twice the speed of a bad religion song, or something that sounds like the foo fighters fell asleep at the wheel. TL;DR i don't see myself spinning NINE again any time soon. that's my two cents.

Started listening to NINE. The First Time is way better than I remember. wtf.

damn are we really getting the long joked-about blink-182 with Machine Gun Kelly today? I kind of hope so just because LOL

It’d be cool if the band said nothing about bringing Tom back in and just wrote and record an album under the radar. Send it off for mixing and mastering before announcing anything.

I want Mark to be happy, but also, Sad Mark writes the best music. If it’s too sad just make it a +44 album 😎

Both of them will be furious
