Ghent Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/travis-barker-machine-gun-kelly-kardashian-blink-182-hoppus-reunion-delonge-1185785/ As of late May, Barker’s plan was to spend time next year recording a full new Blink album sans collaborators, and then head out a world tour. “I think that’s going to happen more in 2022,” Barker says.”I have so many [other] things I’m obligated to do this year. I want to spend the right amount of time on the Blink album and make sure it’s one of the best pieces of work we’ve ever done…. It will be my priority. It will be the only thing I’m working on.” Could a reunion happen? “Never say never,” Barker says. “I talk to Tom all the time. We send funny texts and stuff. The times of bad blood and the misunderstandings between us are so over with. It’s all love. We all three talk, and we’re all friends. So, yeah, I will never say never. I think if the time was right and it just made sense…” 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patient #48273 Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Yeah, that's essentially been his standard answer for quite a while now. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 i wouldn't be surprised if mark's situation brought the band together just like travis's accident did. but the timing just doesn't line up. ava will be touring. skiba is obviously still in the band. you're getting Nine Pt II (Ten) featuring MGK and the kardashians as added songwriters. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kay Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Legit if Travis wants to bring Willow Smith in for a blink song, I'm here for it. I don't give a shit about any of his other collabs but Transparent Soul is my fucking jam and her voice is brilliant. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M!ke Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 It's been more and more clear over the last year to me that one day sooner or later, Tom will be back with blink to some extent. But yeah, when in the past I thought it impossible, now it just seems inevitable, but only a matter of when. And if the near death of Travis was what brought them back together the first time, then I don't see how Mark's battle with cancer now wouldn't likewise tip the already leaning scale toward a reunion with Tom. I just hope that whenever it happens, that they try it out as a 4 piece, I like Skiba in the band, and don't want to see him leave unless he wants to leave. It'd be interesting to see what the dynamic could be with his extra voice and style injected into the classic Mark and Tom blink we know where appropriate. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JarJarBlinks Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 "blink-182 was a force to reckon with, so everyone has a lot of passion and fear to fuck with it, because you're so lucky to have it that some people will have a fear [to] progress too much and just change it, then the fans will be pissed and the band may not succeed the way we want it [to]". Until Tom stops saying shit like this^^^^ he ain't coming back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how his attitude changed in time; Tom would shit on and dismiss blink after he left the band in 2005 all the time, saying it was just a juvenile band that only sang about fucking dogs. Now he's saying like the opposite, blink is too important of a band and they should be careful not to taint it's legacy. Pick a lane lol. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand when he starts using the whole "nursery rhymes on crack" analogies either, dismissing blink's catalog while trying to act like AVA is so groundbreaking and mature. Just wish he could be normal and dial back his ego a bit. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotNow Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 I think they’ll record another album together at some point. I think Mark and Travis are much more zen about blink being a full time band than they were in 2013. Tom is never going to do a blink world tour again, he definitely doesn’t want to dedicate time to that. But I can definitely see him working on an album over zoom while he has time. Covid has made that much more acceptable too which is kind of funny. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair. I prefer they knock it off with the collabs. They can do collabs on their side projects, they already do that anyways Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have any objective sense whatsoever and aren't just a joke of a tombot you will probably die and go to heaven after listening to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russel Coight Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Won’t happen for a while. Hopefully when it does they’re all ready to make blink a priority. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree Because the worst Blink song Tom was involved with is still better than the best Ava song. And don’t think of me as an Ava hater, I like every album except for lovept1 but Tom, Mark and Travis just write way better songs together than Tom by himself or with the Rubin. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
