  1. Same for me bro however dinos have a special place in my heart so I can't tell you guys that I will not watch it when it comes out nor that I will hate it because I love this type of movie. I just wanted them to take the story to a different direction where dinos are actually dangerous untamed animals and maybe by "recreating" them and putting them again in the nature it could affect the balance of the earth ecosystem ... something like this ... more real and dangerous.
  2. Actually I think Tom wants to do everything at the same time and keep the quality expectacular and yet he doesn't accomplish and finish anything... Write Books, Novels, Make Music... You have to choose my friend!
  3. Me too! Actually a lot of people complained about they not getting a producer last time. I think this was a critical point in order to get Blink back on track
  4. You people need to start overthinking everything Tom, Mark, Travis, Matt or anyone posts on the internet. The fact is that one actually knows what has happened or is hapenning behind the curtains. I read the whole post and I didn't notice anything bad about it related to Blink, Feldmann, Mark or Travis. What I noticed is that Tom wishes the best to Blink and is tired of people relating or comparing his work with Blink. I know that it's his legacy but he wants to move on and want people to do the same. I read in another forum that Travis was interviewed by a radio called RadioX and he told that everything is OK between them and they have been actually talking to each other so let's calm down. Tom is not as insane as everyone is thinking and before anyone calls me a Tombot: I'm not! Sadly I have to admit that everything he has being producing and recording is not touching my heart anymore but I wish him the best! My heart is with Mark, Matt & Travis and I expected nothing but the best on the upcoming album.
  5. Actually I'm from Brazil and I can't stand these fans! They simply just don't quit! Blink will never play here and by the time the concert promoters realize they should bring them and they actually accept it (if by some miracule it happens), Blink will be already done here. Actually they have a good number of fans here enough to sold out a whole arena, but Travis would never accept it. Talking about the t-shirts: love blink but have the merch! It's kindda gay and designed for kids who still didn't find their identity. A simple shirt with BLINK-182 on it would be awesome just like this ACDC t-shirt. http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRpvWjSf7k1RjGq4BovdiSNk5PO8JpE8ndjIkplZZLxqmUL5tQnkg
  6. Actually I'll be getting my blink smiley on my right arm over the next weeks. I thought about it tons of time and actually I always wanted to do something related to Blink. IN the past I used to think that maybe Blink could be just a phase in my life, something temporary but as I get older, the more I want it! I started listening to them when I was 15 and now I'm almost 28 years old. Actually Blink brings back some good memories of my life and their songs were always with me (even in the lowest or the highest parts of my life). As soon as I get it I will take a photo and post it here for you guys!
  7. Hahaha Good point! However it's natural that some of us feel embarrassed to admit in public that we like this or that song. We shouldn't be however this happens very often. This is the kind of thing that doens't define who we are but society likes to judge people based on stupid things like that. Actually I didn't actually feel ashamed about that, I just wanted to make a point that the song grew on me. At first you see four kids trying to be cool and all that shit and you think: "Mehhhh" ... But after I listened I kinda enjoyed it.
  8. If you take a look at the music scene with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Nicky Minaj and all other sh*t that comes along the way, 5SOS isn't that bad. I have to admit that I was kind of ashamed for hearing their music on my Ipod but honestly it grew on me. I like very much their music and actually don't care if they're gonna to stay relevant for only one year or two as long as they keep making music like this. She looks so perfect, Don't Stop, End up Here and Voodoo Doll are great from their last (not sure if it's the single one) album.
  9. Some parts of this song are really good and the melody is kind of good too but it misses the blink feeling at the end. On the other hand it impressed me by coming out of Tom - a guy that said months ago that didn't listen to music anymore and is constantly making shitty music. I must admit that I feel a little bit of hate as well. Too much time with Blink and did nothing - not even a couple of months out of Blink and now this. Hard to believe he's the victim when you see something like this. Really looking forward for Mark & Travis making new songs.
  10. Tom kind of got lost along the way over the past years. All his statements and actions really made his image going downhill. When I hear this kind of crap (sorry if anybody liked it) I feel ashamed and at the same time relieved to see that I'm not that bad at all. I respect what he've done for Blink in the past but lately there's not much to be appreciated. Honestly I'd love to help Mark and send some demos I have in my PC and see if he would turn it into real music.
  11. Not sure you're talking about me but I'm not new around here. Actually I'm following Blink-182 online since they shut down their webpage and kept only this forum.
  12. I really hope Mark, Travis and whoever join this thing make a masterpiece! They have enough talent.
  13. I completely agree with you however we won't ever know the true story. The bad thing is that - in the end - this is not how people see Tom. I just can't hate them and I already noticed that he's not in the mood to play songs like Blink used to do anymore. He enjoys being a part of Blink but it's not 100% commited. "I also believe that he really did want to push blink forward to do things at least he looked at as even greater" That's where the magic happens: Good bands know how tho handle music differences and Blink apparently don't know how to do it anymore. I don't like Green Day as I used to do anymore but I must respect them for it. Unfortunately Blink hasn't done anything over the past 6 years. Many of you may disagree with me but look at Fall Out Boy and their amazing work with Save Rock n Roll. Amazing how they came back from the ashes and put out such a good album in fresh new style. This is how Blink supposed to be!
  14. Honestly? I don't think that they will be best friends as they used to be anymore. Simply because I already went through this kind of situation with my ex-band members and once problems start to come up and aren't solved or discussed in a frindly way with your band members, this shit starts to grow and it simply explodes when you're not expecting it. Anyway, I respected some opinions here that Blink isn't Blink without Tom and are kind of sad because all of this situation HOWEVER look at this way: My mind blew when they said Blink would be back again, but then 6 years passed and what have they done? Absolutely nothing. Maybe +44 coming back together or Blink keep playing with Matt will at least we will have good music again. It's annoying to see how much time they spent doing nothing. Neighborhoods and Dogs eating Dogs were OK but nothing compared to what they've done throughout their career. I always thought that if +44 were still playing together, they could have improved so much more over the years. Now let's see what the future holds. Hopefully great albums! Not the kind of fan who buys AVA albuns, but wishing the best for Tom. In spite of everything, he deserves my respect. He's not the kind of guy who he was in the past, but his legacy in Blink is awesome!
  15. It has been so much time since I don't post anything here but after I read this interview and all of your posts I have to say to Blink simply doesn't want to go anywhere else. It seems like they already proved what they can do and have nothing left to show. ( or willingness to do it ). Personally, I don't think an open letter would help at all. Their fans from my country (Brazil) already started an uncountable number of petitions asking for at least one show since Enema of State went out and it never worked. Maybe it's not entirely their fault but I highly doubt. They could sell out arenas easily and still I think they won't step their feet around here. Sorry for my pessimism but I think their next album might take at least one year to come out.
  16. Don't remember all of them but these were my favorites: - Rise Against - A Day to Remember (Going again to their concert on March 31st in Sao Paulo - Brazil) - Yellowcard - Simple Plan (Yes! Great show .. well played and funny - now you can kill me!) - NOFX I didn't added Katy Perry in the list but - as crazy as it seems - her show was damn good!
  17. Hahaha... A Day to Remember has put out an incredible album despite all the shit they had to go through because of Victory Records however we must admit that Blink has nothing to prove to anyone anymore. They already reached a certain level where they could do whatever they want to do. Unfortunately that's the truth! Blink is gone...
  18. It's been such a long time since I don't visit here and honestly I noticed I didn't miss sh*t. As our friends mentioned above, Fall Out Boy and Yellowcard managed their reunion much better than Blink. Actually I don't know why Blink got back together. I don't see any news, any music, anything ... at ALL! A Day to Remember has been my favorite band since Blink split years ago...
  19. Great band, great music! One of the best bands out there. I know some people can't stand their "jokes" but they're pretty good! They really know how to mix heavy and soft parts on the same song. It's the band I've been listening to since Blink left a hole in my heart! haha
  20. That happens in every corner of the world! That's why I gave up making music... My band spent almost USD 4.000,00 recording an EP with 7 songs and every time we went to bar they asked for money to play. After that I gave up!...
  21. This is the stuff I've been listening lately. Actually I've been a fan of their work for some years now. A Day to Remember is awesome and have been keeping really good songs one after another. This album really impressed me and there's only one song that I didn't like that much. The rest of them were like "F***! This is the album I ever wanted to record!"
