You may acknowledge as worthy of recognition paving the way to bullshit bands like Simple Plan but to people not glued to MTV, it’s plain shit and it procreates even more shit.

The only one with talent is Travis and he plays hip hop songs on drums. That’s just plain sad.

also travis barker sounds great here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKQgDY0pZ68

MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!

*passes out laughing*

Dude. Seriously? You’re going to compare any band from the era of free love, birth control, and no AIDS to a band that played during the Bush administration on how many women they’ve been with? Then lump them together and still make the comparison?

No. Again. Seriously?

Aaaaaaand you’re going to use this as justification for why you like this band?

“I just put her in there b/c I’ve fucked her.”

Your immaturity makes me smile.

Sorry. I got caffeine flowing through my veins and bacteria gang banging in the window cracks.

Taking xgarbledmission’s meme to the next level.

“and wasn’t sigmond an austrian if i’m correct. Could explain allot of thing in relation with you”

Another one of the dopest compliments I have ever gotten. Thank you.

Oliver Twisted is my brother.

However, what really did it for me (I’ll be honest, only the first 6 tracks are really great) was that it led to the spectacular Bullet In a Bible. Never before had I been so enthralled by a live rockumentary, that I bought the CD/DVD and the freaking PSP/UMD!

Bullet In a Bible’s hyped-up, live version’s of old classics, combined with the kick-ass tracks from American Idiot is like a one-two punch… hard to compete with.

Hm yea I hate to say it, but the masses don’t always glorify something because it’s good. In fact, for the most part they don’t. So to point out how many albums they sold is completely irrelevant.

And Avril Lavigne? Really? Oh please.

Blink 182 are walking billboards, and if they didn’t look the way they look, hardly any kids would listen to them.

fuuuuuuuuu

Then once I was in college, Enema of the State came out with one of the most refreshing sounds in the post-grunge, end-of-rock, late 90’s. In other words, it was “catchy” (Dub pop-punk genre here) The whole concept of not just the music, but the “apparent” lifestyle of the band members was probably how every 20 year old felt being knee deep in girls and parties half-way through trying to decide out what you wanted to major in.

Now, to say they laid the groundwork for pop-punk is not a bad statement. Lets name some of the bands that found their niche in this genre: Sum 41, New Found Glory, Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne, Zebrahead Yellowcard, MxPx, Riddlin’ Kids, Simple Plan…just to name a few.

We could also talk about how some of Blink’s songs, the slower, more serious ones like: Adam’s Song, Stay Together for the Kids, or Miss You, could be rooted in the fundamental aspects of Emo (don’t even get me started about how many pop-emo-punk bands there are)

My point is, that I’ll take anyone of your punk bands from the 70’s, 80’s, early 90’s; hell I’ll take all of them from all those decades together, and show you that it would never add up to as many albums sold, as many sold-out-International-stadium tours, as many fans, as many DVDs, and as much pussy that Blink got, compared to any one of those old-school punk bands.

I miss Operation Ivy. Somebody bring ‘em back. This new shit sucks my ass.

Where did I say that Blink 182 did anything good?

Haha yeah I enjoy mental rape in moderation. Which is why I’m on MCS. But I think I’m more of a sadist than a masochist.

Marquis de Sade, represent yo.

“But when you go to say Blink 182… did something good… is plain idiocy.”
