Ixidor Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 Don't think blink is the band to put expectations on about anniversary or other special stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted September 14, 2022 Report Share Posted September 14, 2022 If Mark does the opposite of what pestering fans ask of him, I'm going to start pestering him to play every single blink song ever written EXCEPT for Online Songs. Then we'll get a blink show that's just Online Songs 20 times in a row 😎 The Online Songs Tour will be great and you can thank me for it later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's typically better to assume we're joking. And you can generally assume we're being assholes, but usually in a light-hearted way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst poster here Posted September 17, 2022 Report Share Posted September 17, 2022 Sorry Mikey, but I don’t think this is a realistic expectation to have and I don’t want you to get your hopes up and be let down if it doesn’t happen. Considering that Mark and co were considering cutting the legendary track ‘Kings of the Weekend’ from the album California, what chance does a relatively weaker album like self-titled have of a resurgence? I’m sorry but it’s a bit of a lost cause. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoodChats_OnTeamGhent Posted October 1, 2022 Report Share Posted October 1, 2022 yes mike, this is a great idea actualy hearing any outtakes/demos/early version of songs would be great i guess theres not enough interest for them to make it worth it to make something like that but id love it if they did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jan Backing Track Posted October 2, 2022 Report Share Posted October 2, 2022 I don't remember ever feeling Untitled was super depressing or anything, just thought it sounded cool as fuck 🤷♂️ Neighborhoods was the only time I felt them as 'depressing'. Because the less exciting sound. Stockholm Syndrome and Down were no more serious than Adam's Song or STFTK. I also don't agree with Davey saying 'only eleven year olds loved it', I remember it being polarizing, either your new favorite or your least favorite blink. But I remember older blink fans/ages loving it, and some also hating it because I Miss You and what not. The blink fans lost were replaced by the emo crowd and whomever else who liked the new variation from California pop punk blink was really the new change.

I loved Untitled BECAUSE it was such a leap forward in maturity and sound, it came out right as I was growing out of pop punk and exploring other genres that I loved and it felt like Blink was shifting over in a way that kept them perfectly aligned in my newer music tastes. It was the "eleven year olds" who DIDN'T like it, because they were still firmly in the pop punk lane and would've preferred Enema Pt. 3 But to be fair, I didn't know anyone Davey's age who was old enough to have been a fan since the very beginning. I'm sure everyone seemed like they were eleven years old to him at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
