LOS ANGELES - Modern rock band Blink-182 is taking a break.
The band's management has issued a statement through its record label saying Blink-182 is going on ``indefinite hiatus.'' It says the band members want to spend time enjoying the fruits of their labors with loved ones.

(For those wondering, I'm still riding the Creed breakup high.)

 

[Error Macro]

I thought this was just some rumor that was going around the internet because they cancelled one of their shows?

 

[Wellington]

Sucks... considering their last album was the only one I liked. I would have liked to see them begin a trend.

That's what MC Hammer said...

Creed is not cool.

what's the third band?

 

[All Hail C-Webb]

what's the third band?

Korn, duh

 

[samus4ever]

what's the third band?

Korn. The guitarist left.

 

[Meier]

Yeah their last album was actually pretty decent. Hell, Morrissey liked it enough to have the producer work on his record so that should say a lot. The third band, going by xsarien's odd hatred of them, is probably oasis.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Korn. The guitarist left.

you forgot "...for jesus" at the end of that sentence.

 

[xsarien]

Korn. The guitarist left.

I don't really consider that a break up, but if it comes to pass, well, I guess that'd count. I'm pretty indifferent about KoRn.

Now, Oasis breaking up: That'd be the money shot. I'd take a day off from work to bask in that afterglow.


Edit: Oh, I assure you that there's nothing "odd" about it, Meier. It's well-grounded.

 

[Ford Prefect]

Blink 182 is actually not all that bad. I never heard their last album, but I could stand the stuff leading up to it. Part of that is nostalgia, though, as they were my favorite band through junior high, before I heard Weezer and started liking good music.

Creed is just the scum of the earth, and I leaped for joy when I learned of their break-up.

 

[Boomer]

"I Miss You" was their only good song.

 

[Ill Saint]

Good riddance.

 

[Drensch]

Enema of the State is a damn solid album.

 

[Fatalah]

"Dammit" was and IS a great song.

So is "Adam's Song" to a lesser extent. But still--dammit rocks.

 

[pnjtony]

Korn was sucking anyways

 

[xsarien]

Good riddance.

No, that's Green Day.

* runs

 

[missAran]

What will I do without that killer punk rock music? I do not think I can live.

</sarcasm>

 

[Particle Physicist]

you forgot "...for jesus" at the end of that sentence.

what can i say, people love me.

 

[Space Age Playboy]

It sounds less like a breakup and more of a long, long vacation. Since they're parting on good terms we'll probably see them again in a few years when they run out of money.

 

[Schmo Florez]

Comparing Blink to Creed? Fuck You!

They're just pulling a Green Day. Cue the greatest hits album then the b-sides album and BAM! A new kick ass album.

Dude Ranch is their best one.

 

[Flynn]

An official statement from the band's management reveals that the band split due to "creative differences." "Some members of the band wanted to count their money using high-tech sorting machines, like they use in casinos," the band's manager elaborated, "while the others felt more comfortable counting their millions upon millions of dollars bilked from the pockets of 11-year-old girls by hand."

I love blink182
Guilty pleasure I guess.



Plus it attracts the 15 yr old girls.. oooh baby! er...

 

[Matlock]

Damn, and their last album was really good.

Haha, AFI.

 

[BigJonsson]

Blink is awesome, they do/did have talent and put on a great show

 

[samus4ever]

I don't care what anyone says because they don't have my cd player or Ipod, but I really liked Korn. Jesus, this is strange. I guess I feel the same way my mom felt when the Beatles broke up. Eventhough Korn didn't break up, it still won't be the same without Brian, but I can't say anything bad about him, if he is happy then how can I complain?

 

[Macam]

They made rotten fruit.

You just compared the Beatles to Korn.

Interesting.

 

[olimario]

I'm glad I can't stand either Korn or Blind 182, otherwise this would be a sad news day for me.
I did like a couple recent Blink songs, I will admit that, but I still don't think I like them very much as a whole.

:lol :lol

 

[AniHawk]

PHOTOGRAPHER: "hunch over a little more... a littler more... say, do you think you could shave off the middle of your mustache? mmm, yeah, that would be greeeaat"

 

[J2 Cool]

"I Miss You" was their only good song.

I dunno about that but I do agree this is a great song. The back and forth of "I miss you" and "Don't waste your time on me your already the voice inside my head" is just so awesome lyrically and musically. I'm not a fanatic about this band or anything, but they're pretty good. Creed is something to celebrate though. How did they allow this guy to sing inside his mouth for so many years? I can't stand it!

 

[DyersEve]

How Korn ever became popular especially at a time when AIC was out and other more talented bands is beyond me.

 

[norinrad21]

Blink82 freaking rocks.

Enema of the state is one of the most greatest albums in recent years.


The creed tag is really lame though, I mean all i said was this forum goes gaga over bands like creed and yet theres no love around here for a certain band....sigh

 

[Hooker]

WTF!!! Head left?! :eek -- KoRn will suck even more now, as Head and Munky made all the music AFAIN.


And say about KoRn what you will. But you can't deny those first 2 albums were pure gold! (Follow The Leader was the beginning of the end)

 

[Daigoro]

yes i can.

</sarcasm>

blink 182 was never punk. never.

this is crappy pop music we're talking about here.

 

[The Bookerman]

I'd rather see Simple Plan and Good charlotte die...


Please, somebody.... KILL THOSE BANDS

 

[Diablos]

First KoRn, now Blink 182! Bliss.
Blink hasn't been good for years. Since Dammit, I'd say.

 

[Rorschach]

You guys remeber the time I spilled that cup

of apple juice

in the hall

This is awesome news. Next news to come: The members of Good Charolette will implode.

 

[gigapower]

You forgot to put ASAP in there. Maybe music will make a turn around........but I doubt it, this will probably elevate even crappier bands into the limelight.

I think there is only one band in the world that you can compare to the Beatles and it’s NOT korn.

 

[Ollie Pooch]

korn slipped a bit over the last few years, but fuck, they put on a good show at the big day out ... 6 years ago ..

where the fuck did that 6 years go

 

[AntoneM]

Dude Ranch is the only entertaining album Blink 182 ever put out. I say entertaining because it does in fact entertain me, but at the same I recognise that it's still mall-punk pop music.
