Blink 182 Breaks Up

Post by Long Jonny »

What a sad day...

"Blink-182, famed for its practical jokes and disdain for clothing, has gone on "indefinite hiatus," with no plans to work together again, its Geffen Records label said Tuesday."

They didn't break up.

They went on indefinite hiatus.

Geez.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

Yeah I was joking. Next time I'll use emoticons so that there's no chance of anyone not getting me. :P

They broke up?!

Now I hope my sister will forget about them and stop playing it 24/7.

They were an alright band, I remember back in the day thinking i was so hardcore, listening to "the rock show" :lol: Good times.

that is sad because i've seen them 3 times and each time they were getting so much better live, and their music was getting a lot more mature. the last cd was actually a good cd, too bad we can't see where they would've gone after it.

also, boo to the fact that this means there will probably be more of the transplants.

i agree. their last cd was very mature. it wasn't anything like their other stuff. i didn't really like much of their old stuff- just some of the slower songs (ie adam's song, stay together for the kids)
