Blink 182
 

What do you think to them? i liked their last song but not too sure about buying their CD .

So/so for me. I like some of their songs. My particular favourites are All The Small Things, What's My Age Again and the most recent I Miss You, but I once borrowed a few of their albums from a friend and found allot of them sounded the same, but then again, I'm really not much of a new-age punk fan so don't let my judgement influence you buying their albums. :wink:

I am a small fan of Blink 182. My fave album is Take Off Your Pants And Jacket from a few years ago. The new self titled album is pretty decent too. Theyre a really kool punk band :)

their new stuff is actually pretty cool.

much more mature than previus efforts. their old stuff is ok but I kinda spent a great deal of my mid to late teens playing alongside bands doing really shit covers of blink 182 so it kinda tainted me against them.

LMFAO!!

I might get their new one then either that or the Johnny Cash one with "Hurt" on it

go get johnny cash yo silly!

Go for Cash.

Right i'll go for Cash then :D

I like a few of their older songs but now they just seem to sound the same like others have said. You only need to hear the first few seconds of any of their songs and you know it's them.

But thats a good thing, surely?

They're a wannabe punk rock band :?

Buy albums by The Clash and Sex Pistols :o

Aloha !

And that's another great story about the interesting life from Jim Bon Jovi and his experiences with songs from Blink 182!

Aloha !

Maybe not about Blink 182 but if you search carefully you just might find a nice little story about Jim Bon Jovi and anything that has happened in his life. Amazing things have been shared so take a look around and enjoy the exciting life from Jim Bon Jovi!

Too bad I'm already Ice' groupie. 8)

Aloha !

Aw poor Jimmyboy. Even his exciting interesting stories about his life don't match Ice' intelligence.

You think it's good that so many of their songs are so similar that you can recognise them by the first few seconds (and I mean whenever you hear a new one of theirs)

Well, that clearly was no match. :D

Oh, I can't wait to read that. Would he sign me a copy?

Aloha !

I bet the first copies will get a little gift like a small paperback with his useless trivia of which he is so proud.

You know what would be soooooooo cool? Trivial Pursuit, the Jim Bon Jovi Edition!

roflmao!!!!!!!

even i laughed at that trivial pursuit comment.

nope about the closest i got was doing 4 pages of a diary years ago.

a shop selling 2 books? that's the stupidest idea since they decided to build the titanic in belfast

well we could do the trivial pursuit sets too.

btw neil there's nothign inherently wrong with a band havign a sdignature sound. it just happens to be very obvious that it's blink 182 cos there's only so much you can do with a guitar, bass, drums, 4 chords and the same setup you've had for years.

think about u2. u can pretty much tell anything that the edge has touched cos u can bet it'll be drenched in reverb and delay but thats not a bad thing. same vfor bands like the beach boys and the byrds.

All I mean Jim is that there doesn't seem to be any variation at all. You take any Bon Jovi album, every song on each album sounds quite distinct. Sure there are ones that sound a bit similar, but not loads like with Blink 182.

but as i pointed out:

there's only so much you can do with 3 band members as opposed to 5. I'm not denying that they do have a very distinct similar sound to all their songs but that's not inherently a bad thing.

Obviously down to personal taste then. I personally don't like their new songs because they sound so similar to their old ones.
