Recently I heard that the band Blink 182 has decided to call it quits. They are one of my favorite bands, and so I was disappointed to hear this. I decided to start a thread about this.

What are your thoughts on the end of Blink 182, and on the band in general.

they retired lol? run out of childhood relationships to sing about?

If so i really dont care.

Dude Ranch was decent, everything after was just really bad...

I wonder why they decided to break up, maybe they hit puberty?

more like senility....theyre still singing about puberty however

It DOES suck that they are over with. When they sang about teenage stuff, they were either in their teens or early twenties and so on. Their new, and possibly last, album was much different than any before it. Plus, many people like blink, and the really hardcore fans mostly enjoy their early records (such as Cheshire Cat, Buhda, and Dude Ranch). I, for one, enjoyed all of the albums, but some definitely more than others. They are not some mega-band, just a band that had a good sense of humor and they did not take things too seriously, to the point where they tried to be something they weren't. They were a pretty cool band IMO and it's too bad they are not gonna make any more records.
(PS: I know i am gonna get some negative feedback for this)

...I'm sad cry

yeah it sucks, they were cool

Snakeyes is right. Blink's last album was very mature, despite the stereotype that all of their music was childish

i heard it from my friend, but i didnt believe her.....maybe she wasnt lying....they were pretty cool....

i liked Blink 182 ... before they were famous ( Enema of the State ) , but they were still bearable after Enema .

Blink sucks.

I concur. The only thing they were good at is making funny videos. And even their funny videos weren't that great.

I was listening to Enema of the State in like 6th grade.

lol i didnt like that Cd or anything after it , but before it was ok

sad, but atleast Barker wont stop making music, he is awsome

He's a great drummer

I read about this on ultimateguitar.com, apparently it was just a rumor:

http://ultimate-guitar.com/news/general_music_news/blink_182_break_up.html

He's not THAT great of a drummer, he can play pretty damn fast, but that's not the be all and end all of good drumming.

thats cool

yeah their drummer is bad.
even if you hate them you have to admit that

?

WTF? I never said their drummer was bad. I think he's by far the most talented member of the group, and that's not entirely due to lack of talent on the part of the other group members.

Yea, I liked Blink when i was 12, but I grew up.

well, im still a teenager, so i figure its alright to like Blink.

they suxed any way

I think he means bad as in great... you know like baaad.

Oh... Well he could have said baaad, or badass, or something...

So are they over or what!??!?!

NO

yea its true...on February 22 the guys announced it worldwide because they've all got families and our settling down.....this really sucks because Blink 182 is my FAVORITE band!!...i can't go on..

Oh well, guess you'll just have to kill yourself.

enough

Heh, I used to love blink when I was in 7th-8th grade...

Can someone point out a website where it actually says Blink is done?

over?! finally, they sucked!!!!

no they dont

ok everyone is sayin that they loved blink 182 when they were younger but that doesnt mean anything...most people just liked their old stuff better and that was in what?..1994-1996?...yea of course u guys were young then but i was only around 3 or 4 so i still like them and i'm pretty sure i wouldve contnued to like them if theyd stayed together..

Oh YES one less band to torture our ears with bad music.

i wasnt their greatest fan but they were okay. my mate was really upset that they split up.

blink is awesome.

i realy think that all the people that come on to this thread and bash the band need to get a life. I mean, obviously, this thread was created for fans of the band. I'm not saying that everyone that hates the band is dumb or bad or anything, i'm just saying, keep your opinion to yourself. For example, i don't go onto threads intended for Slipknot fans and bash them because i don't like the band. i think people who do that kinda thing are low on selfesteem and it gives them some sort of ego trip.

To be honest i was rather pleased when i heard blink 182 finished, but i do kinda feel for the fans, i know how horrible it is for your fave band to end.

I liked their albums Enema Of The State and Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. There was something about their music which was unique. I found them having a certain style about their music until they launched their latest album to date - (The one which includes "I Miss You". And it was like a shock when the style of their music changed. I for one thought that: Yes, they have matured. And you know what, their new music doesn't sound all that bad as what people have been telling me left and right.

I still didnt like em.

Does anyone know any links they can post where there is definite proof the band actually broke up, becuase i read somewhere that it was a rumor

THANK YOU!! thats what i wanted, not dising on the band but at the same time expressing your opinion.

Thank you for the sympathy BTW.

all i have to say is that they really ****in* suck!!!

Thats kinda harsh.

I really never did listen to Blink 182..they had a couple of good songs, but I won't call myself a fan of them. I just feel for all the big fans of them...it's tough because one of my friends is a big fan of them, and she's not liking this, even though they are doing this for good reasons.

i did like that song where their playing in front of a big house on the video and kids are all inside the house, and at some point there's a girl in the bath.

there just takeing alittle break well that is what i heard BUT.... still sad

i hope they are still a band i really liked them .
i haven't heard anything about blink 182 not being a band anymore?

I WAS ONLY JUST GETIN INTO THEM BUT OH WELL. MY FAVE BAND SPLIT NOT LONG AGO BUT I WAS GOING OFF THEM ANYWAY AND I'VE GOT TWO BRAND NEW BANDS TO LOVE.

I have heard about that..I wish it's not true..
That sucks, Blink is one of my favorite bands..

I was told it was because they were fighting over money and royalties with each other. Im not saying they sold out over money or anything its just what i heard.

i heard that they where taking a break to see there family

where did u hear that

i am a huge fan of Blink-182 and i wish they were back but there not...and i agree with NickTheBassist on how not to bash Blink-182 cuz i am a fan and this is about the people who support them. if u dont like Blink-182 dont publish here, create your own thread about it

I dont like them, but i like to talk about fave bands splitting up with other people, cos as you can see one of my fave bands is the Libertines and they split last year.

that sucks. having ur fav band end is pretty crappy

It does doesnt it.

oh oh!!! i love blink and i heard this too, it was on the site and everything BUT!!!
then travis (their drummer) he said their DEFANTLEY gonna be back with a new album... their just going on hiatus... but they WILL be back!

I dont think they will, thats just something they say to make fans happy.

maybe... im not sure

but from what i know of im, travis wouldnt lie about it, he'd come out and say it


oh oh, and linkin park just came on TV

Well i see you have your priorities in order. lol.

never have seen a point in liking Blink 182 or LInking Park .. sorry

Me neither, but these bands are important to these people so youve got to respect their mourning for the loss of their band.

they really suck their music went down hill

how did it go downhill. all it did was get better

You trust Kerrang! Oh my god what i pathetic magazine to trust, its full of opinions rather than fact, and im sorry but they officailly split ages ago.

no i hate the magazine... i dunno, i have to trust them cuz i heard somewhere else this thing that travis said... so...

but your probably right

and kerrang are stuck up bastards who give their opinion and its unfair cuz they hire only people who have taste in legends and give more popish bands ir new bands they're not into bas comments...

They broke up?!?!















So there really is a God. touched

Some people are here are being assholes...

It's not the end of the world, its just a band

Blink182 sucks so who cares

tee hee

AC. x

Yah I'm pretty sad aboot it. I like them lots. I'm glad that I at least got to see them the one time they came to Dublin. It rocked verily.

Oh and it's amusing when you whisper "indefinite hiatus" to a hardcore blink fan. Once someone cried.
