Im being generious when I say Blink 182 made one good song, Carousel. They were an ok pop punk band back in the day but still not half as good as great pop punk bands like The ****ies or The Descendents.

One day you're punk, then the next day *BAM!!!!!* airborne herpes. It happens to the best of us.

Nothing happened , they`ve always been crap. The old albums might be less poppy but they`re still f*cking awful.

Did they change drummers after Dude Ranch or was it before? If I remember rightly they changed after. I don't really think you can blame all of their "poppiness" on a producer. While some of the sound shaping of a CD is by a producer, blink still wrote the songs and had a choice of how they sounded. Its kinda unrealistic to expect a band to stay with a certain sound or exact style for their whole career. People grow and change and so does their music and musical ablilites. If you don't like their stuff, don't listen to it.

^After Dude Ranch, in that album they still had Scott (I think it was Scott?). And youre right, I wouldnt say it was all the producers fault... Ive heard blink say themselves how they've matured, and so has their music. I'd say it was their own choice.

Not that Im worried, I can still listen to the old stuff if I want to. The fact that their newer stuff was poppier doesnt affect the older stuff now, does it :)

Exactly! I prefer the newer stuff, but the old isan't too bad. Just seems kinda repetitive. Not very skilled musicianship (which some people will say never got better). I don't see how they could have stayed at that point for their whole career.

Heh yeah, the really early stuff sucked, they couldnt sing or play their instruments, it was...Interesting. One song I always remember was "Strings", the singing was something to be remembered...to say the least.

^ I think for me it was the repititious drums and the using of 4 chords through out the whole song. The drums seemed to play the same beat with very little variation (which drives me crazy). They never seemed to change up their chords for the song either. Same 4 power chords for verse, chorus, and bridge (if there was one). Don't get me wrong, I like some of the older stuff, but some of it just drives me crazy.

the way i see it is: they got older and changed and so did their music. personally, i dont listen to them as much as i used to, in fact i probably havent listenned to anything by them in a year or so. but i have no problems with any of their music. its just not my favorite.

who cares.

^ Appearently not you.

^and if not then why even bother posting on this thread..or even looking at it for that matter.

god i hate stupid people

No, I've figured it out.
Even if 'twasn't their producer I've concluded that it was Mark Hoppus.
Think about it, I mean come on, Mark Hoppus REALLY wanted to be famous I think and convinced Travis and Tom to play poppier music.
Tom and Travis had to form a whole seperate band without Mark just to pay tribute to their influences.
What is this band you ask?
Box Car Racer.
Still, a $hitty band, but it proves a point that Finn or Hoppus needed Blink to stay poppy.

^I liked Box Car Racer...

it's btter than them stayin the same all the time like some bands do....i noticed that too..their ltest album is new rock more than punk but i still luv 'em

And this is what I get for posting an opinion. I can be heard. Screw you guys. Especially you PerFeCTioNThrUSileNCe. I'm not "stupid" just because I don't care for blink 182. I wasn't intending to pick a fight or 'make fun' of anyone who listens to them. Go for it. I respect anyone who listens to music because they like it, whatever. I'll make sure I stop posting my opinions, master.

"Who cares", Is not an opinion it's just a mindless comment.

It only shows that I don't care about the band too much. So this implies that I don't like the band too much, either. Am I right or am I right?

Blink 182 are a mindless band

Something desperately needs to be done with this punk forum.

Well, I don't want this to turn into an arguement, but "Who Cares" isan't exactly an opinion. Its more like just a flippent remark. If you don't care about the band, or what happens to them, why would you post (or even look at the thread for that matter)? If you don't like the band, just say you don't like them. I don't want to get into another arguement, because I've made enough enemies on here as it is. :)

.......it still hasnt been closed.......

all the mods are on a power trip and deserve to get hit squa' in the nuts......that should do it. (except that mod who i like, his name escapes me)

they only care about their beloved emo forum which is why that gets cleaned up every f*cking day

why did blink disband
 

does any one know why blink disbanded cos i like them alot but i dont quite no y they disbanded. And how come mark hoppus didnt want to be a part of box car racer

they disbanded (or went on an indefinate hiadus or whatever you want to call it) because they felt they needed to spend time with their family and think about their lives..

now that ive answered your question.........go die.

but before you do that....use the forum search....and give me a number on how many blink 182 threads there are.
