The blink 182 general discussion topic

[just_bringing_good_chats]

theres no issue with blink having travis or anyone else write their songs, it actualy has alowed them to create real great songs by doing so like "heaven"

what makes it odd is that blink was always known as a "we write all of our stuff" band it was part of their dna that no one could write blink songs

because of how unique what they did was including their overall dna

 

so it does feel disingenious if they gonna have ppl write their songs but then they dont talk about it and act like they still write them

for me simple honesty and transparancy about who wrote what would be enough to make it all alright

I mean the credits are out there in the world my guy. Travis said him and his team wrote the song OMT. That is being transparent

I think it's okay to admit they can't write songs anymore and need help to remain popular.

My journey to Flint, MI to purchase Mark’s book:

ahah good comment

and based on what travis was saying he seems 2 have no struggle with comming up with songs on the fly anytime (generic songs)

A Buffalo NY date popped up with Alk3/blink playing. Rumor that there are some Alk3/blink tour dates that will be filling in around their festival schedule in the Fall.

Mark did an interview on Pardon My Take. Sort of wild to see this, but I know commenter especially is a massive blink guy. 

Starts at 1:46 - can't timestamp it on my phone. Apologies. 

Excited to listen to this on my drive today.

Yea this is cool. I noticed in the past one of those dudes had a signature Tom Delonge Starcaster in the background so I figured he was obviously a blink fan.

New mini tour announcement. Looks like mostly east coast dates sadly

they have to please the ppl who pay who knows how much for the ticket and are mostly there to hear all the small things and the other bigger hits

blink doesnt have the sort of crowd that they can pull off a "radio head" to and not play any hits wont be accepted, would be mega akward

This is such a tired excuse though…why? What are you saying about blink’s fans?
