What if Mark, Tom or Travis would die

[MSandt]

if travis died i'd say bring in ilan rubin on drums. he has a similar style to travis, travis used to teach him and he's already working with tom. but yeah if mark or tom died i'd say end it.

"blink" would then be 2/3 AvA.

what kind of question is this??

Hypothetical

Now that would be weird as fuck.

If any one of them died it would be over. Heck its been pretty much been over since the recording of Untitled. Sorry, but its true. They haven't worked as a band on anything since that time.

2004 and prior blink-182 > non-existant 2009-present blink-182.

I very literally was going to post that I don't like this question as it's the type of thing that tempts fate, and now on the same day the topic is created, Travis and Tom find themselves with severe enough medical conditions that two tours cancel some dates.  Creepy.

yeah that was kinda freaky...

I hope its by suicide so people call them legendary a la Nirvana.

They've released an album, toured America twice, and will have toured Europe twice after this summer.

No offense bro but you keep saying their dead to you pretty much but yet you STILL continue to post in this section? If they were truly dead to you and you didn't care anymore which if they broke up today i know damn well you would give two cents less if they did then why continue posting in this section?

lol i never thought of that. that would be pretty weird, i guess i dont really see rubin as an ava guy yet.

[radioactive tomdog]

i think they could continue without travis. it's not like he's 100% irreplaceable. but this band can hardly put the effort into making music with all three members ALIVE so i'm guessing they would just break up.

[fate-fell-short]

It's true, and from some of the stuff they said, Travis was a big reason why the album happened and didn't suck total shit.  Without Travis they could continue, but they might completely suck and/or take 20 years to record an album.

[MissingNo.]

What they need to do for the next album is all go on vacation somewhere, build a studio, and just write and record for a month.  That way families and such can still be around.

[aloisthebeekeeper]

Good, maybe he won't have drawings all over his fucking head too 

LOLOLOL

[Broken English]

Ridiculous question.

Of course it would end, they've made too much of a point about the magic being the THREE of them adding elements to the music. If they replaced any of them it would only demean the credibility they once had and still cling to.

[Roux]

Hologram the deceased member 2-pac style, problem solved.

[punkkid364]

I have to laugh at the "without all three, there is no blink" comments.  There is, existing right now, blink without Travis.  It would be weird to have someone else play the drums, especially in the later stuff where the drumming is so distinctively Travis, but I think Mark + Tom are the core of what makes blink, and they COULD continue without him.  That being said, if Mark goes it's over, and if Tom goes...well, maybe we'll get another +44 album.

[Joeeee!]

This is a stupid question
