From Blink-182.com

"For over a decade, Blink-182 has toured, recorded and done non-stop promotion all while trying to balance relationships with family and friends.

To that end, the band has decided to go on an indefinite hiatus to spend some time enjoying the fruits of their labors with their loved ones. While there is no set plan for the band to begin working together again, no one knows what tomorrow may bring."

If they do work together again, it would not be for a long time.

yeah it doesn't look good for Blink fans. I liked a few songs by Box Car, but they got too whiney for me

Blink's last album was good.

The Transplants suck.

There should be another Box Car release.
Some of you probably think I left. But was I ever here to start?

I wonder what happened- it does seem very sudden.
And Boxcar Racer was pretty cool- but I don't think anything will happen there since Tom and Travis were both in it. It kinda seems as if none of them want to work together anymore.

My sister's now watching the Always video.

She's definitely mourning, I can see it in her eyes.

Stop quoting articles. Articles arn't always right. They are assuming things. I'm sure if you tried you could find pleanty of articles stating OLPs release date, and we all know how that turned out.

Honestly, I can't see them never re-grouping again. They have clothing lines, other bands, record labels, all of them have families now and I think they just want to have a break. I think in a couple of years down the road we'll see more blink again.

I also have to say that I really liked Blink. They had really catchy songs that get stuck in your head and they made really emotional songs that made you want to cry. Their last record was one of my favorites from the whole year and it is sad that we won't get to see them elaborate on that. I grew up with Blink 182. I'm gonna miss them. :(

Goodbye you liar,
Well you sipped from the cup but you don't own up to anything
Then you think you will inspire
Take apart your head
(and I wish I could inspire)
Take apart your demons, then you add it to the list.

Aww, boo. One of the few bands of their genre that I actually really enjoyed.

Someone said that they've seen them 3 times and each time they got better... that's kinda funny, cos I saw them twice and the second time they were way worse than the first. Course, the second time they were trying to follow Green Day... poor goofy idiots. :lol:

i think it's a shame really, to do this after their best cd. i really wanted to see where their next record was going.

it makes me sad :(

i think i'll listen to that cd tonight
you have to, you just have to trust me
whoever i was then i can't ever be again
the faith you've found i've never felt
the terror held in wedding bells
the comfort in "there's no one else"
the truth be told, i'm never going to know

It's a shame, cuz I really enjoyed their last album, and I wasn't a Blink fan before that album, but hiatus doesn't mean they went RATM on your asses.

good, they sucked.

to quote carl here.....freaking awsome!
Whenever death may surprise us,
let it be welcome
if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear
and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.


Nobody's gonna miss me, no tears will fall, no ones gonna weap, when i hit that road.
my boots are broken my brain is sore, fer keepin' up with thier little world, i got a heavy load.
gonna leave 'em all just like before, i'm big city bound, your always 17 in your hometown

haha, yeah that probably has something to do with it, because the first time i saw them they were followed by bush and oasis, both of which blowed them out of the water. the second two times were headliners, so that probably helped a lot.
