BLINK 182 Reunion!!! - Saturday

[guyatwork37]

Hey everyone, remember when I ruined music?

No, only this thread.

Mods can we get him banned from posting in this thread? His constant negativity is annoying and his pointless posts are detrimental to the enjoyment of others on the board.

If Blink is added, I will be so pissed off.

fortunately it's not going to happen so let's stop posting about them, k?

[Gribbz]

The mod should ban anything blink 182.

The mod should ban anything blink 182.

Why? It's relevant to the show.

Oh wait.

[seyrnon]

uggggggggghhh, that would bring down my coachella respect level so hard

[familyguy420]

what banning someone?

[WilliamTaft]

i love how everyone has to be extremely hip by hating pop punk.

but yet nobody says anything about the dance music from the sahara tent that's based off of rhythms that are just as simple, lyrics that are just as "deep", and melodies that are repetitive and simple as pop punk.

just saying. pop punk is a perfectly legitimate form of music. it's simple, fun, and doesn't take itself seriously. Blink doesn't claim to be smart, complex, or profound. it's just simple music. who cares?

the killers> blink 182

It's sooooo hip to hate pop punk...

[rage patton]

I don't listen to Blink-182 anymore. But I would definately go see them live. I basically grew up on their music. I am sure they would be a blast live.

With that being said, Coachella isn't the place for them. They won't be added.

With THAT being said, Blink-182>The Killers

I was at Fatburger a few months ago. There were some teens there that had about 8 Blink-182 songs lined up on the free jukebox. Then they left, causing me to sit through it for the next 20 minutes, ruining my lunch. I wanted to commit violent acts. I still hate those teens to this day.

NEWS FLASH: Blink 182 is for 12 year olds.

Insight Moment: It's not that it's HIP to dislike pop punk, it's that a lot of people realize that pop punk sucks. Don't confuse the "bandwagon" with the honest truth...

[SF_Excuse]

I doubt TRAV$ (or however you spell it)'s doctor will permit an upside drum solo of death after all he has been through. and what is a Blink-182 song going to be about nowadays... the trials and tribulations of making it over the hill?

[avatar]

this would be the one act worse than the killers.

[KungFuJay]

To me, every pop punk song sounds the exact same and that song sucks. That being said, Blink-182 did it slightly better than their successors.

Regardless, pop punk is an oxymoron in itself and anyone that plays it is a complete poser. Get tattoos on your entire body and try to be a badass playing tough music for 14 year old girls on MTV. What is wrong with this picture?

[Rockstarboy37]

the killers> blink 182

Thats a statement even I can agree with and Im an avid killers hater.

Very True. I always found it ridiculous that anybody would consider any boy rock band from the 90's punk. They obviously have no idea what the fuck punk is.

I grew up with them too. 6th grade was alllll about Blink for me. I went to their show and it was SO MUCH FUN. But I was in 6th grade. I still enjoy "Enema of the State" but I dont know if I would enjoy a show of theirs. Everything after "Enema" was soo bad, even the young me was able to tell that

With THAT being said, Blink-182>The Killers

I will kill you.

[Gribbz]

I liked Blink-182 when I was 13.

I'd avoid them at Coachella like the plague.

QFT. Exactly how I feel. From like seventh grade until sophomore year they were my favorite band, and I'd probably be down for a reunion tour. I can't imagine them playing Coachella though. And the backlash on here would be horrendous.

Blink 182 > Jack Johnson.

[thegateisdown]

Oh dear god.

Pick up a guitar and try to play some songs by each of the four acts that you listed here and you'll quickly see that one of them does not belong. At all.

haha, I can play guitar mang, and I love noodly metal, and mathy stuff and all that, but lets not pretend that technicality defines quality songwriting...It's not that I would ever expect to see Blink 182 at Coachella...I'd just prefer them over many other dumbfuck radio-pop acts, as they have some nostalgic pull for me....

If technicality determined quality, then the Beatles wouldn't 'carry that weight'

[getbetter]

waste of a stage

[thegateisdown]

lets not forget that the tail available for date-rape during a blink 182 set multiplies exponentially...haha....three cheers for roofies..

*sigh*..where would the world be without rape jokes?

[mmblack]

looks like i'm going to die of dehydration and shit my pants seeing as i won't be leaving the sahara just to avoid having to see any überbroheimers.

Really? You reached back 10 months for that?

überbroheimers.

Uh. That IS the Sahara.

See, the small issue with Blink being invited to play Coachella is anyone with two brain cells to rub together would intentionally avoid the 3-day pass and just buy single day tickets to the other two. Why? Because it would be the single worst act, certainly near the top of the bill, the festival has ever seen. That POS breaking up was the best thing that ever happened to music until they all started having side projects that sounded the same, so then there were like three Blink albums coming out at once.

I don't care if Muse, Leonard Cohen, YYY's, The Cure, Franz, and Arcade Fire open for them, I would lead a protest to boycott any day they were listed.

While I agree Blink should never be at Coachella, your intent to boycott an ENTIRE DAY and argument that the logical response is to pony up $200 in single day tickets rather than $269 for a 3-day pass is absurd. You'd really miss an entire day of other music going on because of one shitty sub or headliner? You couldn't find anything else to do while they played, and you'd waste your time trying to rally people to protest? Come on.
