High Value Man Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Blink 182 have been about the money for a long time. It is a business. In 1999 when they were paid to wear certain clothes, that was a clear indication that they were in it for the money.I am over it.It is the people who want to claim it ISNT about the money is what pisses me off.In any event; I am excited about the new EP; but I won't be buying their stupid deluxe packages or whatever.

Freestyleskater182 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Blink is a business and a band...and...GOOD PEOPLE THAT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT MUSIC.If you don't think they care about making good music and care about the fans, you shouldn't be here.Anyone ever think that it might of been a scary desiscion for them to drop their label?Maybe they are worried about losing money so they are doing a test run to see if they can survive just as well without a label.

Chewy030 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 I think the lack of promotion of Neighborhoods had a lot to do with them dropping the label. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!ke Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yes....I've been over it for a long time. The thing that bothers me is how people deny it.I don't think its so much about people denying it, as much as it is people just not caring, at least not the way you do.

Zoltan Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Yes....I've been over it for a long time. The thing that bothers me is how people deny it.deny? more like most of us have accepted it. being a professional musician is a form of money making... i've never heard anyone complaining about actors get their money from acting.

IenjoyLongWalks Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 What is most important here is that the pre sales have been taken down with no explanation, ripping me of a birthday and/or Christmas present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 you don't get the truth. here are the small steps to make big money: - sell everything you can. how you can do this? - be super famous. people buy anything advertised/sold by famous stars. how to be famous? - be a talented musician/actor/football player and impress millions of people. how to be one of these? - work hard, even if you can't see it will worth it.do you think it's wrong that people can reach the "seller" level of fame? just because you know, you will never be one of them... get over it.

Mau5 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 Seriously, stop baiting the loliver troll. He lives for this shit. The more you talk about money, the more it reinforces his idea that we're all blind sheep that need a direction and he's the prophet.Anyways, I'm sure it'll be up again. Blink wouldn't just have the presale up for a few hours, especially as their indie. They probably just didn't expect that response that happened and probably need to make sure they can support the orders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?
