I believe The Adventure was already out.

No It Isn't came out in 05, The Adventure was 06. There's like a six month gap between those singles.

Damn no kidding!

I mean having an honest documentary is an absolute no-brainer. I doubt that even most people who would consider themselves Blink fans even know half of the insanity these guys have gone through (and put themselves through). Honestly it could probably be an entire doc series for Netflix haha.

Episode 1: Growing up, forming the band, climbing the ladder and breaking out with Dammit, ends with Scott getting booted and Travis joining

Episode 2: Enema/TOYPAJ superstardom, frustrations with their image, BCR betrayal/success, cracks beginning to form, recording Untitled in the house, gloomy final tour, ends with the fateful words "as of today, Tom DeLonge is no longer a member of blink-182."

Episode 3: Indefinite hiatus, AVA, Tom losing his goddamn mind, painkiller addiction, +44, Travis doing a reality show, becoming a celebrity/gangster, and doing every drug imaginable, Mark feeling lost and trying to stay relevant in a changing scene, ends with the plane crash.

Episode 4: First reunion, Neighborhoods, awkwardness, everyone trying to "fake it til you make it," Tom still being weird/lame, second breakup, deciding to continue the band with Skiba, mainstream success with California, Tom being totally out of the game, Travis becoming a pop punk mentor figure, things starting to fizzle out with Nine, ends with Mark's cancer diagnosis.

Episode 5: Mark battling cancer, Tom re-evaluating his entire life and somehow becoming sane again, Travis finding Kardashian love, Tom's alien stuff, Mark beating cancer while reconnecting with Tom, secret reunion, surprise comeback, everyone is friends again, One More Time is a gigantic hit, cue the music and happy tears, THE END.

 

Hey Netflix gimme a call let's make this thing!!

That would be awesome. Still haven’t gotten an update on Travis’ Netflix documentary, maybe he put a pin in it and Blink has something cooking?

The closest thing we have right now is probably this (there are 3 episodes but Alan Cross will probably make a 4th one given the last couple years of Blink):

Yeah but that version of 'No It Isn't' didn't have that line (you make a sound that feels like pain):

Then 'The Adventure' was released. Then +44 album, with the new version of 'No It Isn't'.

Ah, you are correct. Damn Mark added more lyrics to diss Tom's singing confirmed.

Sadly it seems like both Tom and Mark are having some health issues

I still can’t believe they are going to be doing another US tour this summer.

How sexy was +44 Mark though?  Going to start spiking my hair asap. 

Tom is definitely that girlfriend that's bad for Mark but he can't stay away from.

Tom is definitely that girlfriend that's bad for Mark but he can't stay away from and loves eachother too much. 

Do you have something you’d like to share with the class, Jan?

I think Mark should have kept going with +44!  He was surrounded by 3 oily men who supported his vision entirely and not a messy marriage in it for the sex!

There’s no reason why this band shouldn’t already have a tell all documentary with live performances mixed in.

Why doesn’t Tom help produce something like that instead of stupid movies no one watches. Would make bank and boost his credentials for future projects

the problem is the truth behind everything with this band is too embarrassing for men of their age to admit and their egos won't allow the world to see it.

sucks that they are sick but my inner oliver can't help but to point out that 99% of the world has shittier jobs/lives than them. i bet there's some dude out there with the same sore throat as mark doing construction in 115° heat making like $15/hr.

It does suck that a major factor of you job is your voice and it been currently fucked could affect the entire performance.

Should've written cool guitar riffs when they were 15 then.

It is a bad way to view things because it means we don't want anyone to be happy ?

It’s an extremely dumb way to view things.
