blink182 silentbob Most people who claim to be punk also claim that they have no talent. they suck. they are just a commercial sellout shit. Personally, im sick of the whole sellout cop out, like "Oh i don't have to claim responsibility for liking these guys, because they 'Sold Out', they are on a major label." well forget all that. whether they are on a major label or not, either way, they are NOT a bad. ive liked em for three years, ever since i heard Dammit, and that still remains my favorite song by them. I don't like What's My Age Again, or All The Small Things (not that much anyway) because those are one hit wonders. they were made to be around for a while and then they go away. i wasn't a big blink fan, well ever really, but i was even less when enema of the state came out, they were just getting old to me. But with Adam's Song, they've redeemed themselves, in my eyes. The other two just get old, but this one doesnt. this one is another blink song that sticks with you, that stays around. Maybe they are sellouts, who knows. but at least they can still make good music. Yeah...but that doesnt mean im gonna wear one of those trendy little blink shirts. 000909 ... silentbob god damn....i spelled a lot of things wrong in that. sorry. if that made it so my point was missed, what i was trying to say was... Screaming Sell Out is just about as trendy as screaming "BLINK 182 RULES!!" Just get over it and like it if its good. Be strong enough to stoop so low. if you really think they suck, fine. You have your own opinion. but don't dislike them just because you think they sold out. they may be on a major label and mtv and on every radio station every 15 minutes...but they still sound the same. their first two singles, whats my age again and all the small things werent meant to last. but thats not all they can do. 000909 ... silentbob I never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest who'd have known I traced the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine, I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came 16 just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over I'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never set foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault I never conquered, rarely came But tomorrow holds such better days Days when I can still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone 000910 ... daxle I never liked them, before the sold out, after, it's all the same to me. I just wonder why the drummer has "can I say?" tattoes on him 000911 ... silentbob thats what im wondering too? what the hell does that mean? 000911 ... guitar_freak Blink 182 never sold out. They have ALWAYS BEEN sold out. I hate the fact they are unoriginal with their music. Their guitar has 4 chords played over and over and over and over. It is just boring!!! Some of their lyrics are okay though. 001023 ... safety pin bird speaking as an old punk, i'll give 'em points for attitude --they give no quarter to their fellow pop icons and feel no qualms about being in the same room. but other than "dammit," they never really grew on me. gimme the germs and the minutemen gimme television gimme richard hell and the voidoids gimme a needle and a spoon gimme gimme shock treatment gimme the misfits and gimme your skull gimme the circle jerks ('cause we've all gotta duck, when the shit hits the fan...) now let's light this motherfucker up and pogo, goddammit!! 001023 ... safety pin bird all i wanted was a pepsi 001023 ... startfires ??? some of the best music ever made was just four guitar chords. i don't think that makes it un-original. 001023 ... startfires suicidal tendencies 001023 ... jipsy182 and she said it could never survive with such different lives one home one out on tour again we may never come back strike up the match candle burning at both ends and now she knows too much and i'm too fucked up it's awkward trying to play my role i'll pretend that i'm fine show up right on time but i know i'll never be that cool i never wanted to hold you back i just wanted to hold on but my chance is gone i know just where i stand a boy trapped in the body of a man and i'll take what your willing to give and i'll teach myself to live in a walk on part in the background shot of a movie i'm not in she's so important and i'm so retartded and now i realize i should have kissed you in l.a. but i drove home all alone as if i had a choice anyway where are you coming from what are you running from is it so hard to see and if your feeling scared remember the time we shared you know that it meant everything to me 001023 ... silentbob mmmmmmmmmmmmm apple shampoo 001023 ... december who the freak is josie?! 020910 ... just my opinion it's funny that a band who makes fun of shit bands isn't so great themselves ha. ha. ha. ha. ha. 020910 ... just my opinion although i must say, the shit they made fun of is SUCH shit so uhhhhhhh, at least they know what's shit 020910 ... *nat* my 1st love,I hold such an immense amount of emotion for this band 020911 ... D y a n n e I like Blink 182 and they do what they like so they arent a sell out They are the coolest band I drove like over 6 hours just to see them in concert ...they should really Come to Iowa someday 020911 ... jennyi enny dots I might be old but they sound like they are ten years old. The style of music is good, but I can't get past the teenage voices. (sorry to all the many teens out there). Gimme Ramones, Green Day, or Dropkick Murphies, instead please. 040125 ... karl the weed yeah they have weird voices. but i like them. but, i agree with silentbob, if you like the band, then listen to them, who fucking CARES if they "sold out"? And travis parker is a freaking awesome drummer. 040125 ... Puffycloud I liked Buddha. 040125 ... harry (austrian) hey people..some austrian writing in here,damn,first of all,sorry for my fucked up english,i try my best :) my opinion is,blink182 is fuckin awesome,and a lot you dudes wrote is true,4 chords and stuff,but who fuckin cares?they still have one of the world's best drummers...travis is fuckin awesome and makes blink182 so much better than other bands like that...im listening to their stuff ALL tha time,and damn,im listening to other stuff as well (pennywise,lagwagon,nofx,offspring,greenday,sum41,ataris...)but blink182 kick ass...theyre so awesome...i like the music and i listen to it,if u guys dont like it,u just dont listen to it...!harry 040506 ... silentbob that post made me really really happy 040507 ... harry hi silentbob!its me again!why does it make ya happy?i still listen to blink,i love this stuff!you guys dont write in here a lot,why not?is it really old or u just dont have the time?cya peoplz,take it easy,harry from austria 040528 ... emily well i lvoe blink honest to god love them without blink 1823 id still be jumping around like a fuckign retard singing "oops i did it again" (fuck i just adnmitted to that) actually i got out before that song but hey its all the same. when i first heard blink i was lie WHOA man it was adams song and it HIT me. i mena back then i didnt understand a lot abotu life, about suicide and about who i was. btu when i heard adams song a lot of things shaped themselves in my heard. and individuality was one of them. my favoprite blink song is def stay together for the kids. it makes me cry. nto only because my fmaily is shti and i want out. but because of the story behind it. tom wrote that song on his 178th borthday. his parents just told him that they were gettign a divorce and he broke. he went outside and sat in teh driveway and wrote it off the tyop of his head. he said there were a few mistakes in ti btu he want going to change it ebcause thats how he felt then and everytiem he ehard it he wanted to remember that feelign fo betrayel (man i was liek WHOA) i love stockholm syndrome i love the part where it goes "and i dread the moment when you finally come to kill me" the emotion mark opuits into that oen line overwhelms me. it makes you thin about your life if someoen is making you feel somethgin you dont want them too if they are makign you BE sonmehgin that youre not ebcause it would be better for them. romeo and rebecca is awesoem too the onyl bit i have to say abotu that si the bullshit on "depression's just a sarcastic state of mind" man itbmakes me mad because of what ive dealt with depression is a major part of my life and i dont approvwe of it being disamissed as sarcastic. carousel is also a goodie so are time the girl next door 21 days and so many mroe. over all i love blink i have all their albums and even webnt out of my way (200 freaking dollars out of my way) to purchase a rare copy of fly swatter their demo. thast just my opinion and i agreee abotu all teh small thigns and whast my age again i hate those tracks they make me ashamed of my love 040528 ... emily 18th no 178th lol and sorry about all themistakes my mind goes quicker than my figners 040528 ...
