I actually listened to Take Off Your Pants and Jacket again and love it now. Still I think I like Enema and the last more but its still a great album.

Yeah my preteen/teen years wouldn't been the same without Blink either

[XChris76X]

So Tom was playing some clips of song ideas in his chat the other night that he is working on and apparently they are new Blink demos even though most of them sound like AVA. But heres the link to the 5 clips if anyones interested blink-182 - Blink Clips.

They do sound like AVA but I like the 5th one and I think it could grow into a good Blink song with Mark and Travis on it. The clips aren't really anything but I'll take any form of new blink that I can get

and 2 new Blink pics:

I love Blink 182. My favorite song is Give Me One Good Reason.

[Luke&Peyt]

I'm so glad they are back, I can't wait for the album.

[CharlieXscene]

So they're really doing it eh? I thought it was an ugly rumor. I'm so thrilled it isn't... Blink was the very first rock band I listened to at the tender age of 13. It's weird but they actually changed the direction of my life.

[XChris76X]

Yeah they are really doing it its not a rumor just go on their website or watch the video from the grammys if you want proof

Yeah Blink is the first band that got me into punk rock music. Them Greenday and Offspring I all started listening to around the same time when I was younger and that really did change my life. Till then I listened to Rap so thank god for Blink and the rest of those bands

If anyone's interested heres a great interview with Mark about the reunion or what he calls it the continuation of Blink // AP: FEATURES - AltPress.com Exclusive: A conversation with Blink-182's Mark Hoppus

[Karma Police]

I love Blink!

I'll have to dig out their CD's one day and make a trip down memory lane!

I'm so excited they'll be back!

Wow Travis is a beast on the drums still even after the plane crash. Just amazing.

[XChris76X]

I just got my tickets to see them this summer yesterday I can't wait so great to have Blink back

[beatlette]

So who's seen Blink 182 during their summer tour?? I saw them on Sunday here in NYC and they were AMAZING! I felt like I was 14 again [which was....10 years ago]. They were awesome live

I saw them August 26th in NJ. It was so awesome. Probably my favorite show ever. Just amazing seeing Blink again. It was seriously an nostalgic experience I felt like a little punk rock teen age boy again

I loved everything about it the setlist was epic, the lighting was great, they were hilarious as always, they sounded fantastic and Travis's drum solo was just incredible.

[beatlette]

Oh man, I tried going to the Holmdel show but couldn't get a ticket [or the day off from work]. So I was really glad they added the NYC show. It's sad that it was the first time I've seen Blink but man, it was a great show!

I loved everything about it the setlist was epic, the lighting was great, they were hilarious as always, they sounded fantastic and Travis's drum solo was just incredible.

Agreed! The set list killed me. I pretty much went insane during Travis's solo [I mean, he's in the air, killing it, how could one not go crazy??. I love how some of the songs just brought me back to the teen years The lighting and whatnot was also awesome. Just an awesome show all around.
