2015 needs to buck its ideas up..

My football club are ****, and now my band have split, again.

Crappy punk rock since 1994.

 

Bet you were thinking Stay Together For The Kids (sorry)

But yeah he's got previous history of this so it doesn't surprise me a great deal.

 

They've probably kicked DeLonge out until he loses a few pounds... He'll be joining same Fat Fighters club as Keith Treacy.

 

Some things are best left, they were decent late 90's but think they ran their course.

 

They were at their best from 94 to 97, their first two studio albums are classics. Enema made them famous in 99, but the self titled album in 2003 showed a 'new' blink, grown up and what not. Then the split came, they returned 5 years later and that album was the worst they've put out by some distance, the result of them recording their bits in different studios etc and still not talking/being mates. The EP in 2012, their last release, that was **** hot and I was excited to hear another album, I'd assumed everything was rosey again, at last. Saw them live around that time and it was old skool blink, fart/****/tit jokes, fast music played badly and sung badly. I loved it.

But we've waited, and waited for this album, whilst DeLonge pisses about with his other 'projects'. And now this, the end I would imagine. The 14 year old me is gutted, the 20 year old me is angry, but the 32 year old me isn't arsed. They've been so inactive for years other than that one album in 2011 and so I'm hardly missing owt.

 

When you've waited so long though I was really hoping they would keep their word. Grown up now, with kids, I assumed they'd stop acting like kids - ala Spandau Ballet - and moved on. But DeLonge has always struck me as the childish one anyway, so it really shouldn't surprise me. Pretty disappointed tbh, to have expected an album release around this time, and now we are obviously nowhere near. DeLonge has come out of this looking a dick.

Hopefully Hoppus and Barker can move on, maybe under a new guise, but still performing the Blink catalogue, and recording new material. I'm sure there'd be no shortage of replacements for Tom.

 

Him on the left needs a pan of corned beef hash darn him, he makes me look like Big Lil.

 

Cheeky bugger!

 

Probably had a nervous breakdown after spending 20 years working on that elusive fourth chord.

 

Haha.

Although I wish I could play three chords, badly, sing, badly and sell millions of records around the world.

Imagine writing songs about ******* a dog, blowjobs, your grandad shitting his pants, and then becoming a millionaire overnight. Blink were just perfect for me as a young lad. Childish, puerile, immature, stupid, naked, swore a lot, played really fast and took the piss out of everyone and themselves. Then they matured - as I did - (not much though) and put out an amazing album that was practically a two finger salute to folk who suggest they can't play, sing or write etc.

Totally accept they're not everyone's brew. That's another reason I love em. Or, did do.

 

Much prefer Angels & Airwaves.

 

I like some of their stuff. The new 'tunnels' video is **** hot.

 

Loving their new album, particularly that song.

 

I'd be more than happy if he stuck to AVA and let Mark and Travis replace him and create more blink music.

Win/win.

 

Just another +44 then really.
When I think of Blink I think of Toms voice, it just wouldn't be Blink without him For me.

 

I know what you mean, and I agree. But I'd rather that than nowt.

 

Aye I suppose so.

Have you heard the Mcbusted song Hoppus appears in? It's actually pretty good.
