    Fahrenheit-182: A Memoir By Mark Hoppus (April 8, 2025)

    in Blink 182

    Posted

    Mark's a well-read motherfucker. This book should kick asssss. Finally get THE insight into the Mark/Tom love srory.

    I emailed Dan Ozzi, the co-writer, a year or so ago - asking for writing advice. He was really gracious. When I found out that he was involved in Mark's book, I shared the Zoom story. He was happy to hear it. Hope it sells a buttload

    It’s nice seeing Tom post that the next album is going to blow this one away, and that they’ve only “just started”

    Tom can be blink's greatest hype-man when he's on point. Literally telling Mark whilst he had cancer ' 'Let's get you healed and then go dominate' - 125 shows later, they did just that.

    I missed this!! when are you seeing them? I'm so happy for you! 

    Thank you, pal! Brockton, MA. A random ass town but I’m Shipping Up to Boston the week before. 
     

    Can’t believe it. The Caper in the flesh. Gonna try and squirm as close to the front as possible.

    If they announce an EU tour eventually…we gotta get on it! Who knows how long they’ve got ( I hope years!)

    Tom smoked cigarettes too. There was an episode on one of Travis’ shows where it looks like they’re in the back yard at party Travis is having and Tom’s smoking a cigarette.

    Nah I think they were all passing round a joint there. Kinda in a circle with one between them if I remember

    Spelt here wrong, drunk

    Tom was hitting booze hard during the first reunion, because he felt awkward as shit. (I love Reading 2010 tho, especially Not Now - fight me)

    He clearly isn't doing that here. Throughout Lolla he was rinsing his throat spray. Dates have just caught up with him. Anyone that has ever drunk an iota can probably see it isn't that. Not that that's something to be proud of, just realistic.

    I've had two halves at a brewery whilst doing work....whoops

    Sober by 29...maybe

    That's like saying you're grateful your dad walked out on your or something when you were 12 and then came back when you were like 30.  It's like yeah it's cool, but I'm not gonna gas it up like it's some adverse story Tom had to face, other than gaining a pain killer addiction, it was his decision to leave..  Obviously I've had a ton of fun with this return, but it's definitely a 'thing' that happened for a long time I would never say spoiled is the right term for a blink 182 fan.  Just because they're pooping out songs now and touring doesn't change that.  It's more so "thank god" I don't have to die miserable about blink and at least got some form of reunion. 

    Also don't get me with this Anthem 3, Turpentine thing.  Yes I love both those songs.  Doesn't mean I can just ignore the amount of fluff they are tossing out now to keep selling the name and not write from the heart like they used to for years and why we liked them in the first place.  You are simping/advocating an abuse cycle. 

    Clown take. Not writing from the heart? Mark’s referencing to his cancer, Tom’s references to his divorce. The whole band referencing their own friendships/reconciliation. 
     

    Those two songs you mentioned are directly from the heart. Tom acknowledging his mistake/ being ungrateful for what he had. Mark looking his mortality in the face. Idk what you’re getting at. Just sound like a turbo edge lord.

    I crabbed you because you tried saying we’re spoiled or some stupid shit per usual to gas up them simply not being a tragedy of a band.

    Tom being back in general is not spoiled it’s just not miserable anymore and thank lord for whoever helped clear his fixation on not being a part of blink, 

    OMT was fun because it was simply so long and felt like wouldn’t happen again, and them getting along again was wholesome and playing good live was new.  That phase has worn off now and I think it’s time for some good music.

     Since you know, that’s why we liked them in the first place.

     

     Enough of the throwaway generic shit you can tell they didn’t care to write.  “Oh but blink always made simple topic songs!” Did you all watch the Self titled documentary? Give me 1, 2 good songs of this vs CuT mE OfF 

    Damn bro. They’re like one of the biggest bands in the world rn. Performing well. Wholesome aF. Decent return to form. Songs like Anthem Part III and Turpentine. Playing ALL their history in sets. No more toxicity and bullshit. Wtf more could you want. Ungrateful mothafucka

    He really wanted to be able to call it underrated in a few weeks and seem deeper than the rest of. But people like it so he’s lashing out.

    Ah. Those in the most pain tend to. F for respects.

    Also. I’m in SE Asia and the amount of Aussies I’ve met, mate. Was in a club yesterday, four guys with moustaches and mullets. Went up to one and said - ‘Aussie, aren’t ya?’

    Boozy was response ‘How tha fuck did ya know that, mate?!’ 

    People keep gassin’ Melbourne to me. Sounds like a hell of a place
