emo emo emo
emo waa waa waa waa

^ yet again Thrice proves to be a genius.

ignorance is bliss

i'm going to see blink tonight.....and yer....the old stuff is better....
we should all recite family reunion. :D

I grew up listening to blink, but then again I was young and stupid.

:pimp:

i like blink a lot, but i like more the old stuff...they were fun...now they try to fit in a kind of music where they just don't fit

what kind of music do you think they are trying to fit into?

I like their side projects more than I like the band themselves.
I dunno.

I mean their latest album is more mature than their previous one and I liek that.
And their side projects always seem to have edge an of maturity that the band as a whole never seemed quite able to capture.
I love the stuff by Box Car racer. And The Transplants are just freaking awesome. They're right up their with Deadsy and their song 'She Likes Big Words'

But yeah I love blink. Not enough to decorate my walls with my hand drawn work and pics of the band. But I like their work a lot.

If only yous could see my very psychedelic room and all the crap I have on thier. my room should be made into a museum one day when I'm famous for creating the indestructable cee cee dizzled entertainment system.
Yeah. I'm a geek. but I'm a cool geek. And a genious to boot.

Blink does MTV pop rock well... the melodies are always good for people learing how to play guitar and their songs are catchy. But in trying to have a deeper meaning and appeal to a more "hardcore" audience.. they will fail. I just hope that soon they abandone their "poor me, misunderstood, sad" music and go back to what they hooked me with originally. Oh, and I'll have to assasinate tom Delonge if he tries to pull a greenday, one horrible transition to pathetic political pop punk is enough for me.

^ "greenday, one horrible transition to pathetic political pop punk"

well put. but it was necessary. they needed to do something different. and thats prob what blink thinks too. i dont know any of blink stuff besides the really fruity stuff they used to play on radio from the album that had the pornstar on the cover.

they suck. and yes, they are "pop rock" or "power pop" so technically this whole thread is off topic with the whole "punk thing," no?

can you read? i wrote POWER POP not power punk. there is no such thing as power punk. THAT is stupid. power pop is basically another way of saying pop rock. pop music with a harder feel. jeez.

Oh wow.
I'm sorry.

Now that is one for the books. : P

I'm really sorry about that one.

Peace out.

haha alright, no problem

Today hasn't been my day to live on this planet anyways. I thought the thing at the top of the page said pink forums instead of punk forms. And that happened twice today.

And I haven't had much to eat today because someone has to go shopping and it's not gonna beme. And.

I seem to have confused someone here for someone else today and thus got off on the wrong foot because of my paranoia.

Than's for your forgiveness.

Over and out.

I totally agree with everything you just said.

Ever time some one says they like a band, it doesn't give others the right to judge them on that band...i listen to blink and everytime i tell people they say "Their pop-punk...so your a wannabie" I mean come on...

What you said. . .

If I cared even al ittle bit about what I thought people said I'd never get anywhere in life.
I have ears thank you very much. I can identify the sound of music and crap for myself. Don't do it for me.
And if I wanted your opinion, I'd take the tape from off yuor mouth. So until them stay quiet.

I love blink!! I went to see them on Thursday on there UK tour it was gr8! I prefer there old stuff tho

same here, i went to see them yesturday (sunday) and they were awsome!!! my favable song is 'what's my age again?' which is a pretty old one...

I went to their concert at the start of the year and i must say gyroscope and sparta were much better then Blink 182 themselves...

i think blink was good in their day, and opened the eyes of a lot of people to a diffrent kind of music, but they're getting old, and the music's just not as good as it used to be

i don't know how to explain it...i'm not an expert in english! but it's like they were trying to make serious punk or something, and not the "happy" pop-punk (just to call it in someway) they used to make, do u know what i mean?

yep i know waht you mean.

most of those critics would write that they "matured" musically. i dunno. some bands need to do something different. others need to stick with what theyre doing right. maybe they are trying to appeal to their current audience and not to their old fans

Blink say bye bye
 

Omg blink are splitting up!! :band:

good band, were utterly lamentable live though.

Dude it's just a rumor. They're not splittling up.
Apparently they're taking sometime off and doing other things. Like some side projects and some directing and producing. that sorta thing.
But they're not breaking up. I already checked into that rumor.

peace out.

[sarcasm] oh my heart bleeds [/sarcasm]

I don`t pay any attention to them now & never have , if they split up I doubt i`d even notice

*coughs*
