so blink 182 are getting back together!! at last!!
i did really like them when they were first around. they were really good without even trying, but they were alot younger then..
now they've grown up a bit, angels and airwaves was very grown up music and i didn't like it that much to be honest, although i did like plus 44.
i heard the 'new' blink perform on some tv show, and to be honest.. i didn't really like it. they were singing their old songs, but they had changed them a bit, i think to sound older. but that's what i mean, now they're more mature, that style doesn't really suit them anymore. it's like they've grown out of it..
don't get me wrong, they're all brilliant musicians, they are really talented, but are they too old to be doing that kind of music now? or is it gonna be more like angels and airwaves style?

I don't know; in a way, I agree with you - Blink just might be getting too old for the old "All the Small Things" runaround. But I feel like they really matured with their "Feeling This" album (not sure what the album is called, but you know what I mean, I'm sure!) Songs like "Feeling This" & "I Miss You" were definitely darker and less pop-y than their previous songs. So, I think they already have taken a turn to a more mature side, which is very weird, considering Blink 182 is KNOWN for their (childish) humor in their songs - and their very catchy, and pop-y music. But I suppose all bands have to evolve & grow over time. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what kind of music they'll come out with next.

yeah i definitely agree, feeling this, i miss you, always, not now, they were all kinda grown up songs, and they were still really good. better, in a way than their old stuff. i hope they carry on to do stuff like that, rather than the sorta stuff they;ve done in their other bands. stuff like i miss you would be really good for them, it's not TOO mature, but not too childish either. they're not touring in england though i don't think, so i won't get to go see them live. :( i wonder how long they'll be around for this time!

I haven't seen them perform together yet, have they really? Where was this? Yeah I could see what you're saying, but I feel like they Blink's music grew with them. Like their most recent stuff pre- break up sounds a lot like angels and airwaves.

yeah, i can't remember what show it was, look on youtube for blink 182 2009 or something. yeah, they did grow up a lot towards the end, that's true. i hope they'll do stuff like that, they're too old to do the kinda stuff they started out with now.

I think that they are going to be great, i mean come on its Blink 182. But seriously i get what you are saying about the whole grown up thing. When i heard they were getting back together i had a discussion with my roomate wheather or not Tom could play the same style music as he used to. We thought that they would be a mix of angels and airwaves and old blink. I dont think that Mark and Travis have really changed all that much but Tom is definatly different. I also watched them preform and it seemed like Tom was trying to change even their old songs to sound like angels and airwaves. However i also watched some youtube vidios of their first concert back and they sounded like the same kids they used to. Much of the concert sounded jsut like the mark, tom, and travis show cd. Either way i think they are going to be great like they were once, but maybe with a slightly more mature twist.


myLot reputation of 96/100. xsammiex (2510)  3 years ago

yeah, tom has changed alot, not even just growing up, his whole appearance has changed too. it's ok for them to SOUND like they used to, but they just look to old to be doing that now. like, they should look like teenagers if they wanna do their old stuff.. i dunno, maybe they'll pull it off, they are all good looking guy to be fair. but i agree, i'm not sure tom could write the same stuff they used to...
