you simply love to see it.

I am so stoked. Crazy to think that the last time they actually recorded a full album together, like this, was in 2003. I don't think Edging is indicative of how they envision a blink-182 album in 2022, but I'd like to be a fly on the wall to see what they're going for while piecing this album together.

I was in the crowd for that, Old Billingsgate Market in London on September 17th 2004. They played All Of This with Robert Smith too. Was taking a piss in the urinals then some guy comes in and goes to the urinal next to me, I look up and it's Mark Also got my guitar signed by them that night One of best nights of my life. Got in so much trouble at home for sneaking out but so worth it

What a powerful imagine

i think mark and matt could make an awesome album but maybe the pressure of needing to be blink 182 ruined that. anyone who was excited about skiba joining wanted alkaline 44 and would have been fine with it.

I can agree with that it’s my long held belief that Tom and Mark bring out the best in each other. Tom pushes Mark creatively and Mark keeps Tom grounded. Without each other, Mark writes boring shit or needs others to write boring shit for him and Tom loses the fucking plot and falls into a box of synth bollocks.

Still hard to believe that Tom is actually back in the band.

This will probably sound made-up but fcuk it Found out a few days beforehand about the show - no tickets were available for sale to general public, but went on Google and found out the name of the production company running the event. Got the address of their office (was somewhere in London) and skipped school (I was only 15) one afternoon with my friend Nick to go up to their office and ask if they can put us on the list We thought because it was an MTV Event dedicated to The Cure, that we should pretend to be really big Cure fans. So we spent the entire train journey memorising as many Cure songs/albums as we could in case the production company asked us what our favourite songs/albums were I only vaguely remember being in their office but we lied through our teeth about being huge Cure fans, I remember they took a photo of me and my friend, then wrote our names down on a list and gave us the above flyer. Honestly never ever expected it to work in a million years, when we got out the office and safely round the corner we were bouncing around screaming like idiots If anyone remembers @Roxy from back in the day, she was there that night too, outside the venue to meet Blink. Not sure if she got into the show though

Remember this classic video

Ticketmasters doin a Black Friday sale .01% off the service fees!!

Time stamped 2:02 play through 2:54. Pay particular attention around 2:22 onwards I get that the tribal beat sound is pretty universal...but knowing that Mark is a Disneyland fanatic had me wondering. There are some serious similarities between what I have time stamped here and Just About Done. And Mark most definitely would have heard this a million times, it's been part of the Enchanted Tiki Room show forever @daveyjonesam I way too far in the weeds on this one? Set me straight. Too similar for me to ignore without inquiring

i think even if the album dropped in the spring the vinyl won't ship until the end of next year anyway. people need to stop judging anything based on that. they are not doing a world tour without the new album hype behind it.

I doubt some customer service rep knows anything, but in general I'm not concerned about the timeline anyway. They're clearly working on it, not being lazy/weird, they're in each others' studios, they're being a band! I know we've been screwed over by delays and stuff countless times in the past but right now I feel very patient.

I need the boys to play Edging live on TV. Don't let the song hype die down. I don't care if it sounds like shit, I want to see them playing together again.

yeah but it's like they spent a year asking "what is blink 182?" instead of just writing music. then, feldmann came in and said "blink 182 is all time low" and they agreed for some reason.

I love this picture. Mark and Skye are a stunning power couple.

That little buzz of excitement in October was one of the best things that has happened to us in recent years, I can't wait to have a whole album so that we can overanalyze the shit out of it. Even if the album is not great, they're working on it together, which is something we haven't had that since 2003, and I'm sure every song will have a sparkle of the blink we all love (see the prechorus riff in Edging). 2023 will be wild.

I can't believe we are getting new blink music though, with the three of them. Even if it's 'bad', the thought that at some point, new music will drop, and we will be able to talk about it ad-nauseam is exciting as hell. Will be a great time for everbody.

MY HEART, EVERYTIME. The new album will probably be a festering turd but I don't give a shit if they're just having fun making stuff together. Go on you old bastards!

On their way to the early bird dinner at Denny and then an evening of bingo and the Bengay’s got them feeling good.

Fuck sorry pal I went straight to bed after the game. Yes Argentina. Chances are slim but not impossible. They haven’t been great and you have a chance

that's honestly part of the charm of it for me haha

Honestly though, is there a better example of a perfect gentleman other than Davey Jones that’s ever been on this board? Not only was he always posting for selfless causes, I don’t think I ever once saw him take the bait and snap back at anyone…or say anything mean to anyone, even if they made some stupid remark about him (which was rightfully few and far in between…we’re just trolls here after all). We should all aspire to be more like Davey Jones and I’m not joking at all. Dudes a straight up class act human.

Love Tom for this.

I'd take an interview?

Didn’t think Tom would be replaced again so quickly

Feels like we've already seen them working together more then we ever did during Neighborhoods.

I feel like I’m living in an alternate universe seeing mark hoppus in San Diego standing behind Aaron Rubin…

If you’re gonna try to get away with $750 pit tickets your hairline may as well look fly

That’s the rhythm I fuck my missus too

Ah yes, great question Mrs. Kay: #1: His childlike sense of humor. Even though he's older and it doesn't land like it once did, he's stayed true to dick jokes and the sense of humor that made him #2 His ability to write a catchy guitar riff. This ability is probably the biggest thing that was lacking during the Skiba era. You can't replace or replicate a Tom Delonge riff. #3 His marketing skills. This guy could get me pumped to go to the dentist or something. He knows how to market even the shittiest of products #4 He's a family man! What a dad! Enough said! #5 His instantly recognizable voice. Even with age and vocal changes the dude still delivers classic sounding blink vocals. WHERE ARE UUUUUU

@Djent - The Soy Boy You already won, got what you needed from Kay. What’s done is done, no need to continue the charade.

Hahah to me it's a charming song and I felt so happy hearing Tom and Mark together again, but it also feels like it's not "for me" if that makes sense... I have no real complaints or anything, and I'm so happy it's doing well, but since there's not much to the song and it was released to announce the reunion and tour rather than a new album, it feels more like a little commercial that is out there telling the rest of the world that Blink is coming back, rather than something to obsess over. Once we get more album news and interviews and another single it'll all start to feel more real haha. As of right now, listening to Edging feels like watching a movie trailer. It has me stoked for the real thing, but the real thing is not quite here yet. Oh yeah it also feels like edging.

The most blink182online reaction to a new song ever. Pandemonium when it’s leaked and about 24 hours after then, “Eh don’t really listen to it.”

I will say that it's the worst song title they've ever came up with Edging? A title for a lead single that has nothing to do with edging? Makes MH3853985203 look like a great title in retrospect, at least it had a back story

this is the type of material only this board can deliver. great topic.

“Last.fm” okay boomer

(I listened to music for 98k minutes this year, which is roughly 68 days in total, that's genuinely unhinged. Just tell me I have mental illness spotify)

this unlocked an ancient memory

I was obsessed with this video when it came out

Beats 2009 when we would get Tom in AVA gear talking about AVA albums and movies and TV and clothing while Mark is doing interviews saying blink-182 is everyone’s priority.

Right?! Looked good enough to remember I’m bisexual, damn son!

You got a pin and sticker?! What the fuck, I just got a couple of pickles.

Yeah I haven’t listened to it since the week it came out lol

It’s Tom’s extremely fake orgasms at the end that do it

Soon:
