  1. That's gotta be 1000 posters right there. Which is $100,000 in sales from that one package alone, right?

    Ka-ching. They might've easily made $250,000 or more on preorders alone, with three weeks left until the album comes out.

  2. why wouldn't blink-182 wrapping paper be collectible? the only place you will be able to get it from now until the end of time is through this preorder. plus, a lot of people will probably actually use it, further limiting its availability.

    Well there could be a ton of other people thinking the same thing, plus they could release it again next Christmas, and the Christmas after that, until the end of time or until nobody cares about blink-182 enough to pay $100 for wrapping paper on ebay.

  3. Notice how I only responded to the discussion about money. So don't call me a troll. Look towards all the people who got sticks up their ass about this issue who want to drag this out. But of course it is MY FAULT. Wonder why? Because nyou got a stick up your ass about it too.

    Again, Blink is a fucking business. Get the fuck over it!!!

    Can we fucking move on now? Please?

    The key for this argument to be over is that yes, blink-182 is a business and yes, they are musicians who love their job and strive to deliver the best music for their fans. It doesn't have to be one or the other. It's both. Once everyone realizes that we can stop arguing.

  4. I'd be pissed if it had a single Christmas song on it. I doubt it will. I kinda wish it wasn't Christmas timed/themed either. In 6 months, when Xmas is over, having a bunch of songs in your iPod with Christmas artwork just kind of rubs me the wrong way.

    If it has even one Xmas themed song, it would be lame.

    This band are passed novelty songs, will sound dated and corny now.

    Typical whining from blink-182 fans. Get new material, would be outraged if there was a Christmas themed song on it. As if they've never released a Christmas song (hint: they have two, one of which is on a full length album).

  5. Was the investment a failure? Those self checkout machines at McDonald's are pretty popular here in Spain :P

    It was specifically for Southern California, I think it was more that he had a shoddy business partner, this was only in the news because Mark was suing the guy for fraud or something.

    And Spain is one place that should not be replacing people jobs with robots right now, haha. It leaves a sour taste for me when huge companies with huge profits invest in machines to take jobs from people.

  6. Travis is estimated at $80 million and Tom and Mark are both estimated at $60 million. But you never know with investments and whatnot, it could be higher. Remember a few years ago Mark had $2 million invested (and lost it too) in one venture alone, I think it was automatic checkout machines for McDonalds, haha.

    They are significantly higher valued than members of bands with similar success such as Green Day because of their business endeavors.

  7. I was just listening to Always really loud on my headphones and I'm realizing how amazing a producer Jerry Finn was. The attention to detail is incredible. There's this 2nd backing track of Mark just singing the "you" parts of the chorus nice and low, with two notes starting with a higher note and going to a lower note, "you-u". And it alternatives from ear to ear on each you.

    It adds crazy depth to the song. And I'd never noticed it before. You don't see that attention to detail from them anymore, but I guess it's hard to live up to that crazy amount of talent that Jerry had.
