I Need A Girl That I Can Train

[Drew Beringer]

It's summer, it's the weekend, and I am on the biggest Blink-182 (http://www.blink182.com) kick right now. Go listen to all of their albums and discuss favorite songs, lyrics, and memories of this incredible band.

[Jason Tate]

Our shit from the staff forum keeps spilling into the news tonight - it's kind of funny.

[Newairrecords]

You just described my everyday.

Haha, I couldn't help it any longer, blink is controlling me right now.

[1moreandimfree]

thank you
i love you

That's Drew's REAL kick tonight.

[noodledancer]

the title of this thread instantly put a smile on my face.

[simonz]

enema is quite possibly the greatest pop punk record ever made

[WarpSpeedChewy]

'I Miss You' Is one their best songs. They were going in the right direction. If they had stayed together they probably would have done their best work. My favorite albums were Dude Ranch, Cheshire Cat and Blink 182. I grew up on this band. They were the soundtrack for my middle school years. Everytime I listen to one of the old albums it makes me miss those days.

[GreenDayIdiot]

weird..... i am on a blink marathon now also

[unwritten]

Yeaaaaaaaaa!!!

[Drew Beringer]

wish my friends were 21....

[thebestkylever]

i want to fuck a dog in the ass.

[Big_Guy]

enema is quite possibly the greatest pop punk record ever made
no, just no

it's a pretty good album though

[StriketheMartyr]

i have to say that i, along with every guitarist i know, were all pretty stoked when we started playing guitar and we learned that opening riff to Dammit. and there is not a song on Enema that will not maintain status as a pop punk classic for the rest of time. RIP blink

[xearlynovemberx]

mark has a wolverine in his pants

[Ryan Imhof]

I miss that icon :(

[simonz]

no, just no

it's a pretty good album though

in hindsight its not that good, but tell me another album thats influenced as many people as enema has

[bradybooz]

i cant get the song "wendy clear" out of my head at the moment...i always overlooked this song and its stuck in my head!

[AntiSlade2.0]

...this isn't news...

[skankinbri]

TOYPAJ was my summer album of 2001, even though I had just graduated from HS, I still played it non stop.

[bobby runs]

for what blibk does for you older people is what the starting line is doing for me. im 16 right now and have been into the starting line since i was before 13, they are just so good. i love them so much. i dont care what anybody says about their record. so if i work at ap.net in a few years maybe i will do a post like this for the starting line.

[yourdarqsecret]

great memory: the "josie" video being filmed at my old high school.

[saving jonathan]

how can you not love these guys?
take of your pants and jacket is one of my favorite cd's ever...
and i love listening to cheshire cat because the talent is so evident in their early years. tom and mark were sick on those guitars, even back in the day.

[yoyesyeah]

they are awesome.

[Ryan Imhof]

great memory: the "josie" video being filmed at my old high school.
whoa, thats awesome dude.

[Ryan Imhof]

brand new is the new blink 182

[Joe DeAndrea]

I haven't listened to Blink 182 in a while, though I like them loads.
Feeling This and Dammit could very well be 2 of the songs I could play 20 years from now and still enjoy because I can't get sick of it.

[Joe DeAndrea]

brand new is the new blink 182

I don't know about that..

[dubey]

*sighs*

[murphy77]

dumpweed is my fav blink song

[Drew Beringer]

brand new is the new blink 182
haha no fuckin way

[End is Forever]

Haha, this describes how i've felt the last few days. In the gym, all i've been listning to are Blink cd's. the self-titled is so good, they definately made a great progression. Go and Asthenia are soo good played back to back, and the whole album is fantastic.

I remember one weekend Mtv played every single piece of Blink-182 media they had all day. Man Overboard and it's video are both awesome.

[Big_Guy]

for what blibk does for you older people is what the starting line is doing for me. im 16 right now and have been into the starting line since i was before 13, they are just so good. i love them so much. i dont care what anybody says about their record. so if i work at ap.net in a few years maybe i will do a post like this for the starting line.
hahahahaha

[waggy]

no, just no

it's a pretty good album though

ya gotta admit, along with dookie, it's probably the most influential pop-punk album ever. and to the guy a few posts up, i'd argue that fall out boy is the new blink

favorite blink song: dammit (boring choice)
favorite blink album: take off your pants and jacket (unusual choice)
favorite blink memory (one of them): first time i listened to enema of the state (it was the first album i ever owned where i liked every song on first listen)

[saving jonathan]

fate fell short this time, your smile fades in the summer...

[radxbandit]

in hindsight its not that good, but tell me another album thats influenced as many people as enema has
heh any record from pink floyd, led zepplin, beatles, etc

[bradsonemanband]

i made THE BEST blink 182 mix cd of all time....perhaps i will share it with you all....if you ask nicely.

[1moreandimfree]

i wish i didn't have to pee so bad

[Jason Tate]

...this isn't news...
Good thing there's no rule that things posted here have to be.

[Jason Tate]

heh any record from pink floyd, led zepplin, beatles, etc
pretty sure he meant "pop-punk" cd... :shrugs:

[1moreandimfree]

i'll shower you with liesss

[Drew Beringer]

take off your pants, dad. Your penis is the biggest thing my butt's ever had. My anus, it feels good, shut your fuckin face uncle fucker.

[End is Forever]

i made THE BEST blink 182 mix cd of all time....perhaps i will share it with you all....if you ask nicely.
You should do it. Does anyone know where to get unreleased and rare Blink songs from? (Hope this doesn't break a rule, im not asking for the songs)

[Shatter_Glass]

"The Party Song" started it all off for me. IT was my friend's CD (Emema) and we were on spring break in like 7th grade. So sick. I've been obsessed ever since.

[ilovebsb]

definatley my favorite blink memory is when i seen them with new found glory at suffolk downs in the summer of 01' . not only was it my favorite time seeing them(other than when fenix tx opened for them) but it was probley the best concert i've ever been to. nfg played pretty much everything of their selftitled and blink were just amazing. i'll never forget it.

[Chris Fallon]

I think TOYPAJ is overlooked, but Dude Ranch is a fine, fine piece of work. It's what got me into Blink after all - "Dick Lips" is a great song.

Then again, for me...Blink did no wrong, even when they got popular on TRL and were literally everywhere you looked. I thought about giving up after Enema, but wouldn't you know it...TOYPAJ reeled me back in, in one of the best summers of my life.

Thanks Drew for making me want to go listen to some Blink.

[mouood]

I was there too. That was a fucking great show.

[camery182]

truly a band that chaged the music all of us listen to. they made popular what might not have ever gotten that big. just amazing guys that always made people laugh and enjoy their shows. their best cd has to be the mark, tom, and travis show. it has all of their best songs with a lot of joking around and showing who they are. they could make anyone laugh and are amazing live. hopefully they make a comeback and ill be the first in line to greet them when they do.

[SummerxStars]

M&M's.

I thank Blink 182 for everything I listen to today. Even if it isn't pop punk.

[jerzeyboy13]

Blink was the only band i saw live where i paid $3 and got two tickets...they will always go down as my favorite band.

[End is Forever]

Speaking of Man Overboard...

http://youtube.com/watch?v=J4p5J1AUzYg&search=blink%20man%20overboard

[Trevor Sostarich]

They're going to be back. Brendan from Atticus was telling me the other day about the split. It was planned since the untitled album came out. They were going to tour and such and then call a break. A BIG BREAK. They were all going to go do their own thing. Why they called the break at the time is questionable. Mark and Tom needed a break from eachother and they still consider eachother best friends. They'll return as blink once AvA calms down (and Tom get off his fucking high horse) and once Plus 44 calms down as well. Mark and Travis are still the same people. Tom is fucking insane. I can't even pick a favorite song by blink or even a favorite album. They're amazing. They always will be...

[Believer]

I really am happy to see this post! :) im glad im not the only one with a blink album on constant play this summer

[Ailite]

Thanks Drew. I was looking through iTunes thinking, "What can I listen to?" and then I saw this, so for the next week or so I'll be Blink obsessed. Seriously, thank you.

TAYPAJI has been a favorite record of mine for 4 solid years, thats a while for me.

[SurfWaxKyle]

"Hey, you better wipe that shit eating grin off your face, because this next song's a sad one... and uhhhh, more importantly than that... if you're eating shit and grinning, then today's probably not your day anyway."

"We are professionals. We just professionally suck, and professionally act like a bunch of assholes on stage... we're just as God made us."

I love turning the live cd way up and acting like I'm at one of their shows. So cool.

[Ailite]

Oh man, seeing them fit "I don't want no scrub" into Dammit is great.

[Dan CiTi]

I know what you guys mean I think Green Day alittle more for me, but Blink is quite special as well.

[VAYA]

that is random. i just downloaded the full discography a couple days ago (mainly cause i didnt have cheshire cat) and i have been listening to it non-stop too. cheshire cat was the first album i heard that turned me on to punk and "alternative" music, as in an alternative to pop crap that was on the radio at the time in my hometown.

[oldskool]

Actually I am on the BIGGEST Blink fix right now. I have been rockin a ton of Enema and Dude ranch, but I have incorporated stuff from all their discs in their material. I even bought a really tight HURLEY sticker with just the H logo. I think when it comes down to it, they are my favorite band ever. Being 23 years old makes What's my Age again so cool again. And how can you beat Apple shampoo, that song is one of my favs ever. in my book none of their new bands will come close to blink, infact it is depressing. it is funny how I can listen to them over and over and never get tired of them. Their music makes me remember so much stuff, and also there is nothing better than crusin unknown streets in the middle of no where, lost as hell at 3 am with some blink in the background on another fun summer night!

[drew-is-cool]

ohhhh, sweet Jesus. how i miss/love my blink. it hurts me to know Mark and Tom basically hate each other now....And as excited as I am about AvA and (+44), there's nothing either of them can ever do that will compare to just how special blink-182 was....I don't give a fuck how epic Angels and Airwaves is. It will never be as special as blink.

But anyway, the untitled record is definetely their best. I love that record....But my favorite would have to be Jacket. I think it's really overlooked, because that's about as perfect as pop-punk can get. They're the KINGS of the genre.

They don't have a song I dislike...and I'm pretty sure Tom could fart into a microphone four 75 minutes and I'd still pay fifteen bucks for it. They got me into music, and the lifestyle, and everything.

And I can honestly say I owe my life to blink-182. At a shitty point in my life, they were the only thing that made sense to me. For days I'd sit and listen to every blink record over and over again and sheild myself from the bull shit.

they mean so much to me...it's almost pathetic. Which is, coincedentally, my third favorite song on dude ranch

[punkerz2003]

i am so fucking high and this thread is hilarious

[nateisbliss]

oldskool - that was amazing. couldn't have said it better myself. enema was my first blink record...but after listening to it over and over again, i became a true fan and bought all the albums, grew to know every song on every record. blink was the shit...they made want to play music. and when i listened to blink, i always thought...life seriously isn't that bad.

[Rockybehri]

I want to run a train on a bitch too.

[weworemasks]

brand new is the new blink 182

........sometimes you dont have to post a reply.


TAYPAJI has been a favorite record of mine for 4 solid years, thats a while for me.

hahahaha what cd is that?????? im just giving you a hard time. don't be angry.

[druck]

TOYPAJ really defines music for me. Whenever I play that record I'm put back into the best summer of my life. It gets me every. single. fucking. time.

This post is making me sad though. I miss blink :(

[3milesdown]

dude ranch is their best work. its overlooked alot...

[santacruzice]

"you can leave now and beat the traffic, or you can stick around and beat your meat"

[notetoxself]

one of my favorite lines in there songs was "a memory that's full of fun
fucked up when it's all done" -reckless abandon.. it makes me think of them and just my life on friendships with those lines.

[oldskool]

"and now I realize I should have kissed you in L.A., but I drove home all alone, as if I had a choice anyway. Where are you coming from? What are you running from? is it so hard to see, and if your feeling scared, remember the times we shared, you know it meant everything, you know that it meant everything to me." apple shampoo> Yep, Blink rules, best band EVER! When I saw Blink for the first time on Warped in '99 that changed everything for me! Can't wait for warped this year, it will be my 6th!

[itmakesyoufeel]

haha my boyfriend and i just watched the urethra chronicles 2 the other night and we were talking about how sad it is that they'll never have another concert.

i'm not sure i can pick a favorite song. blink 182 and take off your pants and jacket are my favorite albums. i love rollercoaster and always.
i love this band.

[mr chainsaw]

My favorite songs are Josie, Wendy Clear, and Please Take Me Home.

The Alkaline Trio are amazing...

[Mr_V1tr1oL]

Enema Strikes Back (Mark, Tom, and Travis Show Live Album) is the first blink album i bought...and turned me into pop-punk genre...and now it brings me to whoever i am...but TOYPAJ is definitely the best....

[rhinownsyou]

no, just no

it's a pretty good album though


yes. yes. tis a great album my friend...name a better pop-punk album? i mean green day contends i spose but thats it

[Mr_V1tr1oL]

TOYPAJ really defines music for me. Whenever I play that record I'm put back into the best summer of my life. It gets me every. single. fucking. time.

This post is making me sad though. I miss blink :(

same...same....

[robsmith]

wish my friends were 21....

That song rocks, but now that I'm 21 it's just kinda weird. I feel old. And the drinking age is 19 where I live...

[mps]

I made the first thread of this current blink love that's going on now.

[AKrowdy]

i love and miss blink and mark is my idol and hero
thats all i have to say

[PaintTheTarget]

i started listening to blink all over again after listening to dude ranch on my 8 hour drive back from school this summer...it never left my cd player. it is easily my favorite album of time and without it, i'm positive i'd still be stuck in that middle school rap phase that so many stupid kids go through. goddamn, blink rules.

[starwarsfan182]

weird..... i am on a blink marathon now also


Im on one everyday, i listen to blink every single day, i cant go a day without a blink song, my all-time favorite band.

[FallingOut]

Im 21, been listening to Blink since 8th grade, and if they had a concert here right now, I would still jump around and sing along like a little girl. Never got tired of this band. They need to at least do a reunion tour or something.

[DriveTBSthru]

i had a dream about them last night, that is super funny and they were playing a show. they played all there old songs.

[SteveLikesMusic]

They were my favorite band for quite some time...

Dude Ranch, Enema Of The State, the Live album and a couple songs from Pants+Jacket, awesome pop punk.

[LewistonSpecial]

they better come back before i die.

[wakeupgomer]

"Cacophony" and "Wasting Time" - I know these are typical, but I still love these songs...

"I'm Sorry" and "Pathetic" - I like every song on this album, but these two haven't been mentioned.

"Dumpweed" and "What's My Age Again?" - Dumpweed is a no-brainer; What's My Age Again is so much fun

"Every Time I Look for You" and "Shut Up" - I remember listening to these a lot; I also like Reckless Abandon

"I Miss You" and "All of This" - really good tracks...huge Robert Smith fan.

[born to expire]

tell me another album thats influenced as many people as enema has

Are you kidding me?

Without Descendents- Milo Goes To College there would be no pop punk.

[walshknilb281]

favorite song: Dammit, first song i learned to play on guitar
favorite album:TOYPAJ, only thing i listened to for a legit year because i didnt believe in any other music besides Blink
Favorite memory:Sneaking out of my house at 2 AM in 10th grade, taking a creepy cab ride into Boston to wait in line for 8 hours for the dolla bill tickets and just realizing how id do anything for this band.

[walshknilb281]

anybody else have a huge wardrobe full of hurley and pumas because of this band

[blinkanboxcar18]

god bless you sir. i havent listened to blink in a while...brings me back. we need to tell those assclowns to quit their shitty sideprojects and make another epic cd.

[HoboAdam]

my favorite memories is seeing blink at irving plaza with unwritten law and fenix tx back in 1998 and then seeing them for the last time at irving again when they played for free there in 2003

[FOBPrettyNPunk]

One band that I've always wanted to see live. "Going Away To College" is probably my favorite Blink song.

[Nate_RAWKS]

My favorite band of all time!

:worship: blink 182

[Saravain]

enema was amazing. travis added so much.

[AKrowdy]

ever since reading this post ive been listening to blink non stop today and tried putting a mix cd together like some other people were saying then i realized its hard to make a mix of good songs when all their songs are good, and now im gonna be on a real long blink fix thanks to this post
and im saddened to say i never got to see blink in concert and now may never see them in concert but i will be seeing tom tommorow when AvA comes to cleveland all tho im sure ill be dissapointed, but at least TBS and head automatica wont dissapoint

[Alabama]

I can't even say how much I love blink.. and everytime I think I've finally gotten a little bit tired of them, there's always something that drags back in and just makes me think "I can't believe how good they are" all over again! I just waited weeks for a bunch of cd's I ordered and got them today, but seeing this thread.. I couldn't help spinning a blink-album instead..
My favorite song is pathetic! (I don't even know why, I don't even really think it's their best, but it just always meant more to me than others)
favorite album.. I don't think I can pick one
I can say without any doubt that without blink, I would have never become the person I am today.

[_kelly]

haha i have like 5 blink mixes that ive made at some point or another.

and i thought tom was gonna be pretty lame, but i saw AVA with TBS yesterday and he was cool. they were better than i was expecting. and TBS fucking owned.

[Nate_RAWKS]

and im saddened to say i never got to see blink in concert and now may never see them in concert but i will be seeing tom tommorow when AvA comes to cleveland all tho im sure ill be dissapointed, but at least TBS and head automatica wont dissapoint

AVA are awesome live you won't be dissapointed trust me, unless you're expecting piss and fart jokes. I'm seeing them again on Wednesday and i'm freakin' pumped... :lolatu:

[a speedo model]

i remember getting Take Off Your Pants and Jacket when i was with my dad. he went into a meeting and i sat in the car and listened to it like three times in a row. good times. love for blink...

[TripleW24]

Dude Ranch was by far my favorite Blink CD. It was simple and catchy and had a lot of great songs like Apple Shampoo.

best memory. a few months before the unfortunate 'hiatus' the $1 tour made it's way through Minneapolis. there were people there who had spent $150 on e-bay for tix! it was madness. the place was packed! it also happened to be Travis' b-day, so they dropped confetti EVERYWHERE. it was awesome! one of the best shows ever!

[domesticyeti]

i think blink is responsible for everything i listen to now.
wendy clear and mutt have been stuck in my head forever.

i really hope that they at least do one more tour, cuase i never got to see them

[Atticus_86]

Blink 182 is still my favorite band to this day like millions of other kids they introduced me to alternative style of music I rember seeing the whats my age agin video on mtv 7yrs ago and it compltly changed my life there was finally a music scene for me.I m kinda in ahurry so sorry for all my gramtical errors.My favorite album from them was thier untitled album its probably one of the best albums Ive ever heard. I wissh they would have kept going I think if there untitled album would have sold ore copies they probably would have stayed together.my guess is tom probably thought blink dayz where over (the album only sold 1 million copies) so he jumped shiped that and they couldnt agree on writing credits and various other problems. But that niether here nor there I think blink deserves more credit than they got and I m glad that this site recognizes that.

[Sureshot182]

the best band ever. the title line has been in my head so much lately. i love it. blink is beyond amazing.

[zizou1790]

i love this band so much its disgusting

[Dan CiTi]

Are you kidding me?

Without Descendents- Milo Goes To College there would be no pop punk.
That's true, Tom would have never picked up the guitar if it wasn't for them.

[PunkDrums182]

favorite blink memory (one of them): first time i listened to enema of the state (it was the first album i ever owned where i liked every song on first listen)

I remember that exact response as well.

[PunkDrums182]

M&M's.

I thank Blink 182 for everything I listen to today. Even if it isn't pop punk.

I second that.

[PunkDrums182]

Blink 182 is my all time favorite band, I wil never stop listening to this band. Their Self - Titled album is probably my favorite but it's hard to pick. Mark Tom and Travis show I love so much because it includes so many cds and great songs. It's fucking funny as hell too. I can't pick a favorite song or album really.

[bradsonemanband]

this whole thread makes me want to watch both Urethra Chronicles dvds......first one is the best one though. i basically memorized the entire thing when i was in junior high

[drew-is-cool]

watching the secod Urethra Chronicle is worse, because Mark is like "Tom's my best friend. He's like me in another dudes body. I love him more than anyone. I positive we'll be friends until we die" and Tom says something along the lines of "He's the best person I've ever met. I'd do anything for him. He's the best friend I've ever had."

and now they DONT EVEN TALK!!! i honestly cry every time i watch it. I break down and cry like a ten year old girl.

[CorporateFish]

Summer and Blink go hand in hand.

[TSLpunk182]

TOYPAJ was my summer album of 2001, even though I had just graduated from HS, I still played it non stop.

God Yes! That album brought me into this music... The majority that come to this site is because of a blink album

[laxcrs]

wow its really sad reading some of these replies and seeing the number of lives as well as bands that blink has influenced

fav song: untitled
cd: mark tom and travis show
memory: when they broke up seeing how everyone around was affected like a band wouldnt normally affect people

[weekend_warrior]

blink has had a huge impact on my teenage years.

the first time i heard their music, something just clicked, i was OBSESSED for a long time. i never really felt like i fit in with all the preps and kids who listened to dmb and rap at my school and i was looking for something better. when i got into blink it opened me up to this whole "punk" scene, which i am so glad that i found back then.

god, it sounds so lame now, but when they first announced the hiatus, i cried for 2 hours and was depressed for the rest of the week.

their self titled tour in the summer of 05 still ranks as the best concert ive ever been to.

blinks just great. i could go on for hours about how much i love/miss them, but i won't. besides i think almost everyone whose posted in this thread also has some type of huge appreciation for blink also.

[tbag311]

Haha, i've been on a blink marathon all throughout last week and still going. When summer's in the air it's time for some Blink!

[guitarpunk411]

I remember back in junior high..i would have done anything to hang out with these guys for one day
