  1. I can see this song getting popular. A lot better than most of their shit, tbh.
  2. They need to make up their mind. I'd honestly like to see them together or whatever, but it seems like she instantly hops on board every time Travis is about to get a lot of publicity. (blink reuniting, blink recording, Travis solo album)
  3. WWII is getting so played out though, there's only so much you can do with it. I can't believe no one wants to touch the Vietnam War...They could make an amazing modern game in that environment. Because the US lost I guess people wouldn't buy it? I don't know. Also, there could be epic fucking Civil War games. (seriously) they really need to cash in on this time period. i know for Americans it is an important part of history, i would so play it. the only Civil War aspect i know of in a game is the beginning of Call of Juarez Bound in Blood. you start off the game fighting in the Civil War.. i loved it. Yup, and it's one of the coolest parts of the game...There are misconceptions that the Civil War was fought like the Revolutionary War in lines with 15 seconds between every fired musket. It really wasn't like that at all. There were gruesome battles with insanely high casualties..melee, pistols, rifles, the whole works. I think an open world game like Red Dead would work during the Civil War era as well. Sucks that no one wants to try it. Also, you could be given the choice to play as a Confederate, which I'm sure would be attractive to a lot of gamers in the south.

  5. Yeah, I would have locked it, but niku "has the blink section under control" now.
  6. I don't see how it is surprising or hard to explain... They wrote arguably the best pop punk album of all time, during a time when pop punk was becoming mainstream because of bands like Green Day. Tapped right into the culture of the late 90's, was MTV friendly, and the album was excellent.
  7. Because he's close to pulling a Tiger Woods and it would be one of the biggest falls from grace in NFL history.
  8. Is this it? http://deadspin.com/5658206/brett-favres-cellphone-seduction-of-jenn-sterger?skyline=true&s=i

    South Park!

    This episode was pretty funny... I wish they would stop telling the same joke or ironic thought over and over throughout the episodes though. They beat shit to death these days.
  10. Not For Real is 4 syllables. /facepalm
  11. Yeah, I definitely see what you are saying...The problem is that it's really hard to get anywhere as a true punk band these days. And I also agree that a lot of pop punk these days is hollow and boring. My opinion differs though in that I think some bands try too hard to be "different" and get a little too technical with their guitar and songs. The most successful pop punk bands and songs always relied on simplicity, something that everyone wants to shy away from these days. When you strip the energy from punk or pop punk, you are left with repeating power chords and a catchy hook. A lot of bands put so much effort in other areas that they lose the core appeal of the entire genre.
  12. The irony of the last couple pages of this thread lies in that the only people freaking out are the ones telling everyone else to stop freaking out.
  13. haha yeah I can see that...The name is a quote from Star Wars actually.
  14. I'm perfectly happy with most things blink actually..
  15. I get you're voicing disappointment, but why? you knew this was coming, Mark and Tom both said it long prior to going into the studio, so why is this a sudden disappointment now? did it really catch you off guard? They just said not two months ago in a Kerrang article that they decided they wanted to be blink 182 again and write and record TOGETHER.
  16. Thing is, I'm not complaining. You guys are getting defensive over nothing. I'm voicing disappointment. Complaining would be more like this: WAHHHHH THIS IS BULLSHIT. FUCK TOM I'M TIRED OF THIS. BLINK SUCKS AND THE ALBUM SUCKS. FUCK THIS BLINK IS DEAD! WAHHH.
  17. Because Mark would have tweeted or blogged about it if they were recording together.. If he talks publicly about a TEXT he got from Tom concerning the album, pretty sure he would tell us if they were writing or recording together.
  18. And why do you know that tom isn´t going to participate...? I´m starting to get tired of the tom thing. He wasn´t there because he has recorder guitars the last week. And he recorded the guitar by himself at home. Stop getting annoyed by the factual truth. This could very well change as the recording continues (obviously), but as of now I have no reason to believe this album is going to be a cohesive group effort like it used to be. Not saying I hate Tom, not speculating that the album will suck, just disappointed that the three of them can't work on it together. And I have every right to be disappointed by that.
  19. My guess is that they have all the recording footage they need by now...Plus, if Tom isn't going to participate in any of it in person, then what is there to film? I think the release of the blinkumentary will depend on how quickly the album gets done.
  20. Go for it! And thanks for all the comments. I see what you're saying, but I'm pretty sure that's what they're trying to do at this point. Pop-punk is dead. Name one mainstream band that plays NFG or blink style songs these days... I'm sure their writing will evolve over time though, they've only been a band for a couple years.
  21. Oh, also it's pretty obvious that Mark wasn't happy with Up All Night (probably felt it was too AVA-ish, judging by all available evidence), and that's why it wasn't released.
  22. Lol that was awesome, but totally mocking the lack of updates complaints...
  23. Thanks for checking them out dude...Glad you liked.
  24. Looking for objective opinions here...Sorry if there is a thread for this sort of thing. They recently recorded their first EP with a guy who has worked with MCS. At least listen to Summer Heat and Swing for the Fences. http://www.myspace.com/doublethefall Would like to hear what people think, good or bad.
  25. The main reason I will be disappointed if the album is written/recorded in different studios separately is because I think Tom needs to be held in check. These days, when he has full creative control, he ruins everything by trying too hard to be something/sound like something he is not. They need to get their asses in the studio TOGETHER for once and be blink-182.
