O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | I am not a huge Blink 182 fan, but I bought the new cd yesterday, and I was pleasantly suprised. It is not a bad cd at all. They are not punk,or hardcore, but they kind of are there own style. I actually recommend this cd. Here is one of the best songs from the cd.. Happy Holidays You Bastard It's christmas eve and I've only wrapped two fuckin' presents It`s christmas eve and I've only wrapped two fuckin' presents And I hate, hate, hate your guts, I hate, hate, hate your guts, And I'll never talk to you again, unless your dad will suck me off I'll never talk to you again unless your mom will touch my cock I'll never talk to you again ejaculate into a sock I'll never talk to you again, I'll never talk to you again It's Labor day and my grandpa just ate seven fuckin' hot dogs It`s Labor day and my grandpa just ate seven fuckin' hot dogs and he shit shit shits his pants. He's alway's fuckin' shittin his pants And I'll never talk to you again unless your dad will suck me off I'll never talk to you again unless your mom will touch my cock I'll never talk to you again ejaculate into a sock I'll never talk to you again, I'll never talk to you again proud graduate of Newbie University.

Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Oh man, Blink 182 gets me so mad sometimes. Dude Ranch and Buddha kicked ass. Enema kicked ass. Fucking TRL ruined the band though. Why do 15 year old girls have to ruin everything that is good and holy. I want to go to their shows but I'm so afraid of being the only person there who is in their 20's. People forget that blink has been around for years and they were always cool, bu these little girls are going to make the band go soft. I'm going to buy the new CD but I'm sure I'll be dissapointed when half the songs are about fucking teenage angst and romance. proudly adopted by canweseeyourstuff Don't blame me, I'm a newbie. | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Dec. 00 | Musically, I don't think too much of them, but their lyrics do make me laugh...they're fluff to me I just read an interesting review of it in Rolling Stone: You can dismiss Blink-182 as cartoons if you like. They're certainly not going to stop you. They even call their new album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket: Say it out loud, let your inner eighth-grader savor the cadence of the phrase. It sums up Blink-182's wiseass brat-punk ethos almost as well as their recent live album, The Mark, Tom and Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back), which featured the butt-stupidest stage banter since Kiss' Alive! (Mark: "You can leave now and beat the traffic!" Tom: "Or you can stay and beat your meat!" - and they get paid for this, ladies and gentlemen.) But this is rock & roll, where cartoons can get away with exposing emotional truths blocked to more portentous characters, and behind their doofy grins Blink-182 have plenty to say about the secret life of boys. Too funny for even the most uptight ideologue to dismiss as simps, these guys feel free to sing about their girl troubles without hiding behind either hipster irony or macho hostility. When they meet girls tougher than they are, which is usually, they're not threatened - just terrified and attracted and amused and, if they're lucky, quick-witted enough to sing "Please Take Me Home" before she moves on to someone else. Take Off Your Pants is Blink-182's fifth studio album, and like all the others, it improves on the last one. They don't mess around much outside their tessitura - they like to keep everything light, fast and punchy. Even before the vocals, you can always tell it's Blink-182 and not, say, Green Day or the Offspring or Foo Fighters, all of whom sound sluggish in comparison. Their understandably underhyped musical chops are one of the reasons Blink ride high where so many similar guitar bands have fizzled. But another is that they're rock & roll boys who aren't scared to sing to, for and about rock & roll girls. They might have harpooned teen pop in their genius "All the Small Things" video, but the actual song was pure puppy love, with a "na-na-na-na" chorus ringing out like some lost Crystals or Shirelles oldie. They bare their painfully adolescent fragility, confusion and vulnerability, without playing coy about their pathetic sex drives or their moronic sense of humor. For teenage females who want to know what they're up against, Blink-182 are as educational as Jackass while bravely (and uncommercially) refusing to spoil the joke with the bully-boy whining that passes for raging against the machine these days. On Take Off Your Pants, they continue their roll: happy songs about girls they like, sad songs about girls who don't like them, serious songs about divorce, dysfunction and the end of the world, plus one really funny song that goes, "I'll never talk to you again/Unless your dad will suck me off" and ends in forty-two seconds flat. The only false moments are the arty metal breakdowns like the horrendously titled "Online Song," which might work live but sounds strained and pompous on record, as arty metal breakdowns tend to do. But Blink make up for those with the single "The Rock Show," a slice of suburban teen romance that Joey Ramone is probably pogoing to right this minute in rock & roll heaven. Bassist Mark Hoppus sings about meeting a girl at the Warped Tour, which feels as apt and funny as the Ramones finding true love at the Burger King soda machine in "Oh Oh I Love Her So." But, of course, it doesn't take long for the Blink boys to hop from the crushed-out harmonies of "The Rock Show" or "First Date" to the bleak stuff, especially the broken-family snapshots of "Shut Up" and "Stay Together for the Kids." And they bare their souls like never before in "Story of a Lonely Guy," in which ace guitarist Tom DeLonge sings about feeling like "just a stupid, worthless boy" over painfully pretty guitar ripples. It's one of the truest songs about being a boy anyone has dared to sing since the Replacements went dry. Blink-182 might never find themselves in danger of becoming respectable, committed as they are to three-chord kicks, bathroom-graffiti gags and staying quicker on the trou-dropping trigger than Britney Spears. But as they plow in their relatively un-self-conscious way through the emotional hurdles of lust, terror, pain and rage, they reveal more about themselves and their audience than they even intend to, turning adolescent malaise into a friendly joke rather than a spiritual crisis. And since nobody in his right mind would feel menaced by Blink-182, they don't waste time trying to menace you. Instead, the dumbass cartoon twerps of Take Off Your Pants and Jacket are a significant band in spite of themselves. For those about to jacket, we salute you.

Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I wasn't a big fan of Blink until I bought their live CD and I thought it was amazing. Every song is catchy and their best songs have a pretty deep meaning. "Adam's Song" is one of my favorite ever. The lyrics mean a lot and they are all good musicians. I just bought the new CD and i like it alot. The lyrics are great on this CD as well and when there is no meaning to their songs it just makes me laugh. **Official Painter of Billboards** Opie and Anthony: The thinking mans Beavis and Butthead -Playboy Mafia Mob Lieut.--Darippa Serious posts only | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | Thanks hun. Hmmmm wonder what the hell about me relates to that song. Well he said it was "our anthem", so I guess he meant all teens in general. I was hoping "our song" as a couple would be Josie or Offspring's Self Esteem. ~* here comes a storm in the form of a girl *~ | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | quote: You could say that ;) Self Esteem's a song that's an inside joke with us. We've been friends for a really long time, and going out on + off for 2 years, and the whole time we've never had any real fights or done anything to hurt each other. So as a joke every time I do something sweet for him he says I'm abusive and sleep with his friends or something, and I'm like, damn right, don't make me bitch slap you again... It's just one of those silly things couples do to make each other laugh. He just told me our official song's Saw Red. ~* here comes a storm in the form of a girl *~ | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Apr. 01 | quote: No mention of Cheshire Cat? Thats gotta be their best album. Any Blink fans out there gotta hear that one. Heres a taste: I'm wasting time thinking about a girl. Gunna steal here away from her world. She and I would run away and I'd think of all the things I'd say. We'd talk about important things and I'd picture her in my dreams She'd teach me about modern art and I'd show her it's okay to fart and Maybe I'd impress her by being in a band. And maybe if I act real tough, she'd let me hold her hand. And maybe I'll win her heart by writing this song about her. Sometimes I sit at home, and wonder if she's sitting at home, thinking of me And wondering if I'm sitting at home, thinking about her. Or am I just wasting my time? You and I should get away for awhile I just wanna be alone with your smile Buy some candy and cigarettes and we'll get in my car We'll blast the stereo and drive to Madagascar Cuz when I'm with you, there's nothing I wouldnt do I just wanna be your only one.

I can't fucking stand it. there are some good songs, and some great bands out their, but they get corrupted by these lil teeny boppers that just cling on to shit and suck away it's coolness. | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Mar. 01 | I hate that man. Carson gives off that fake vibe that makes me just wanna slap him. I don't watch TRL at all anymore, all those people screaming + getting freaked out over nothing used to be funny, but I'm sick of it now. ~* here comes a storm in the form of a girl *~ | ||||

Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | ughhh NFG and Sum 41 are the start of someting very bad. Its called pop-punk and it sucks. I think MTV is on a world mission to destroy all good music and replace it with bubblegummy pop music. How come bands like NOFX or Pennywise never get any kind of radio or MTV play when they usually headline shows like the Warped Tour? Theres obviously a ton of people who listen to music like this because the Warped Tour has been going on for years. Yet Lalapalooza tanks after a few years but those type of bands still dominate the airwaves. And trust me, if there was still a Lalapalooza, Britney Spears and Nsync would be headlining it.

Hanger-On Registered: Jun. 01 | "ughhh NFG and Sum 41 are the start of someting very bad. Its called pop-punk and it sucks." isn't that what blink182 is, pop-punk? and i kind of don't like sum41, but new found glory have been around for years and have really paid their dues. their new album was very trendy-punk-pop stuff, but their older stuff is kind of emo-pop-punk. also, the lead singer for new found glory used to sing in a hardcore band called shai hulud. as opposed to bands like fucking sr-71 and good charlotte and american hi-fi who are totally jumping on the punk bandwagon. you can always tell. | ||||

O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Don't even call it Punk it is Powerpop. Nothing more than Pop with Power Chords. And the reason Real Punk bands don't get airplay is another one of the record companies evil ploys. It is easier to pump out crappy bands on a regular basis until they fade away rather than support an actual good band that won't be successful right away and may be too strange to the normal mtv viewer or radio listener. So they crank out shit that is more profitable. Death to Major Record Companies!

Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Blink 182 wasn't pop-punk until very recently and they certainly have paid their dues more than NFG. My problem is that you know deep down some of these bands didn't want to do this, but its the only way they are going to sell records. A lot of people blame the record labels, but I blame MTV. They determine what is popular, but they only seem to care about what 15 year old girls want to see. I showed my stuff and I graduated. All mentoring courtesy of canweseeyourstuff. | ||||
