Widi Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 Imagine Tom didn't meet Mark... Honestly, this topic doesn't make any sense in my opinion. You can't change the past anyway (unless you have a De Lorean DMC-12 ), therefore just leave it the way it is. That's just my thought.

M!ke Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I was thinking the other day, Mark said in the infamous tell all interview that disagreements at the end of blink had to deal with (among other things) the greatest hits album. What do you think they could have been? I was starting to wonder, maybe they had the intention of rerecording all the hits like some artists do for those types of albums (can you imagine a present day version of carousel?). To me this makes sense because Tom wanted to take a break, while Mark and Travis were ready to keep working on blink. The only other disagreement I can think of would be what songs were going to be on the greatest hits album, maybe one of them wanted to do more of a best of album, while the other wanted to do all the singles that got them where they were. Anyway, the point I post this here is, if Greatest Hits had been rerecordings of all those songs, I think that would have been really badass.

juice182 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I don't remember that. I'm pretty sure the GH only came out after the break up to squeeze a little bit more out of blink. On loveline mark didn't even know what video footage would be included and had to ask his manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, greatest hits was going to happen no matter what, I'll go find the interview, it was actually a part of the disagreements in the band at the end, I def remember Mark saying that.

Cheerios4u98 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 if Greatest Hits had been rerecordings of all those songs, I think that would have been really badass. Yeah I've always thought that too. Re-recordings of anything pre Enema would be sick. After that the songs sound good enough we don't need re-recordings.

M!ke Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 heres the article: http://web.archive.org/web/20060901221936/www.b182.com/askmark1.php here's the question and quote from Mark: start of the 6th paragraph after this question: 8. The circumstances of Blink's "indefinite hiatus" are still steeped in rumors. Tom has addressed the issue vaguely in some interviews. Could you give us your side of the story and explain exactly what happened, how it happened, and why? It must have been a pretty big deal for the band to have skipped out last minute at the Tsunami Benefit show. ... "At one of the rehearsals, we started talking arguing about our forced break, the greatest hits record, and the possibility of recording the next album. Tom said on the next blink-182 album, he would ONLY record at his house in San Diego. He would not come to Los Angeles. He wouldn’t travel anywhere for the recording. He wanted me and Travis to record our parts up in Los Angeles as we wanted to, then send him the pro tools files down to San Diego for him to work on there. Mind you, on the last blink record, Travis drove down every day from Los Angeles to the studio in San Diego to record his parts. But Tom wasn’t leaving his house. This was the point our band was at." So greatest hits was going to happen even while they were together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patient #48273 Posted February 23, 2010 Report Share Posted February 23, 2010 I'd say they were going to release it because of the planned break. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duck182 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 We just would've gotten a weird ass AVA-style blink record. Tom clearly needed to do his own thing for while. Shit would've just been messed up if they continued. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juice182 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Hmmm well Its impossible to know but considering blink plays almost nothing pre enema and that carousel originally wasn't gonna be on the GH it was probably more like arguing about recording a new song for it or a possible GH promoting tour Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new song is also a likely thought. GH promoting tour probably wasn't really a thought as they were to be concentrating on the tour to support Always that never happened.

They were gonna talk about recording a new album eventually, so it would've happened whatsoever. I mean, they could've talked at any rehearsel or at any restaurant over dinner or something like that.

Refused Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 And no Angels And Airwaves would suck balls..

W.out carousel they would only have done m+m's dammit and Josie. 3 songs are kinda pointless to rerecord IMO. says who? Just cuz another member said theres no point in doing Enema or later? Look at MXPX's greatest hits album, they rerecorded everything, and even though some songs were hardly any different they were still different so it still made for an interesting listen. They could have made little changes to some of the rerecordings. (i.e. have Mark sing a Tom part or vise versa, extra effects, etc.) Obviously there is no way to know what their thoughts were, but I think that you cant dismiss this possibility. And actually if it was only 3 to 4 songs to rerecord, that would make a lot of sense, since Tom wanted to be on break, and Mark could have been saying, just rerecord 3 or 4 songs man, it'll take no time. Thus fueling more of the arguing that was mentioned in that interview in regard to Greatest Hits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also blink practically acts like they didn't exist before enema. Considering they were burnt out, why would they rerecord songs? I doubt anyone but hardcore fans would want to hear the rerecordings, especially because they would most likely rerecord the lesser known songs.

Apollo182 Posted February 24, 2010 Report Share Posted February 24, 2010 Blink's popularity might have faded if they kept going without the breakup. Their new album is probably 100 times more anticipated than if they brought one out right after the S/T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
