Blink 182 on Changes, Big Comeback

Ahead of their big "GMA" summer concert Blink 182 is live in Time Square to discuss their greatest hits and changes to the band.

[@bigdaddycmoney]

Starting off with questions about Tom and the plane crash. Brutal!

[@bencarper]

I cringed

[@MagicPants647]

he should have also brought up Travis' divorce as well

[@AAnt1993]

Sometimes emotional questions get the best answers

[@AAnt1993]

+Mark Firth if you want that then just watch any other their other generic interviews

[@WrestlingCovers]

After listening to California all I can say is: BLINK IS FN BACK!!!!

[@Trueredeemer]

Fuck yes! They fucking killed it with this album

[@yankfan08161985]

Yes!!

[@BlocktorwhoUnlimited]

mixur12 Tom was always the one holding them back

[@mystichustla9504]

How about the album "NINE" ?

[@SonicSega0964]

Orion Cruz you big tripping with that Tom statement and California was ass

[@sk8brder40]

"Hey Travis, you got in a plane crash. So how's music going?" like that was the most unrelated statement to stem that question from...

[@LoveLikeWinterDeath]

Blink-182 is my go-to for music when working. I'm stoked that they're hitting the road again!

[@spastheghost]

I remember before Tom and Mark used to do all the talking and Travis usually just sat there, now it's so different

[@DeanoSauruzRex]

Cannot wait for July 1st. Really feels that Blink are going to be back to feeling like the band they always felt to me as a kid

[@alistairmclean7670]

The album is fantastic

[@joshramos]

The album is so so good. There's a song that takes you back to dude ranch, a song that takes you back to neighborhoods (well at least for me, and its not bad). Home is such a lonely place is in a different style and it's really good. Honestly I like the whole album but some of my favorite ones right now (in ko particular order) are cynical, home is such a lonely place, Los Angeles, sober, and California. The rest are really good too but those stood out to me.

[@DeanoSauruzRex]

Josh Ramos Everything after TOYPAJ felt void of what Blink ever used to sound and feel like. Tom, in my opinion, had a strangle hold on alot of the creative side of Blink towards the end and I couldn't be happier to see him gone. To see Matt of Alkaline Trio in Blink is a dream come true. Since I was a 15 year old kid me and my friends always said Blink and Trio would be the ultimate Pop-Punk group

[@jetstream01]

Agree with all the others. This album is fantastic. I've had it on repeat for days now. Can't wait to buy it for real on the 1st.

[@TheNeuman]

The untitled Album was a masterpiece. I can Thank Tom for that and boxcar racer.

[@jackbunning]

TRAVIS IS SUCH A FUCKING LEGEND

[@krisnelson2713]

man of few words lol

[@Stumpy801]

lol he looks like an opiate addict now. look at them small ass pupils

[@bon2yan88]

fuck boy

[@freiteez]

This album is so good. Can't wait for everyone else to hear it

[@cristinataveras2392]

they're awesome,i love blink 182

[@OsagieGuobadia]

It's a good thing that Blink-182 are going to have their Summer Concert Series (for the first time ever) on Good Morning America on July 1st. Excellent! I can't wait to see them performed, "Bored to Death" live! #blink182 #boredtodeath #california

[@jeremyganguly]

that's not Travis he's wearing a shirt and has a beard

[@KevinAdamFlores]

Travis always has long answers. Give the other guys a turn, Barker!

[@Sarah-jj7lo]

Omg I'm so excited I love them they're so AWESOME

[@DS-ff6ze]

im glad blink 182 is finally a functional band again. blink is approaching its second prime

[@cameronnelson565]

The album is SOOO good

[@rockerdude725973]

Travis talks way too fucking much

[@Kralixus]

is that a problem??

[@DJC1x42]

+alliman567 he's being sarcastic dude

[@settingsun3470]

Haha

[@jawanxp99]

Remember when he didnt talk at all lmao?

[@MetalHeadAZ]

skiba! skiba! i'm so happy for him.

[@PsnAssassinHD]

Can't wait to see you guys in TORONTO!

[@andres6733]

Can't wait to see you guys live! See you in Saskatoon :)

[@marcmaza2821]

Went to there concert awesome!!!

[@bloojkl4520]

My babies

[@anonanon5666]

It's just a matter of time... when Matt Skiba takes over Blink 182... I'm told. It all sounds well and fine.

[@IceTeaHatee]

"No changes" Yeah right, I've heard "Los Angeles", that song sounds like the new Fall out boy and AVA, that is not blink. The rest of the album is not bad though.

[@blacktaxi2d]

that song was cowritten by patrick stump of FOB

[@44Jory]

I'm pretty sure Sober was the song co-written by Patrick Stump.

[@anggeraprasetyo5789]

YEAH MARK , MATT AND TRAVIS SHOW! LESS DRAMA , MORE MUSIC! BLINK LIFE. FOR LIFE.

[@augustobezerra9390]

Esse álbum vai ser foda.

[@TiffaniiMarie20]

I really can't wait to meet them July 30th c:

[@Punkisaac]

So many old people that probably never heard of blink in the background Jesus Christ save us all

[@codfanboy2002]

Nationwide=everywhere except I live

[@lifeafterhighschoolmusic]

HAHA how true.

[@theboltcloudnetwork9118]

The new album is flawless!

[@timmorino4005]

Uh huh sure

[@neotrunks]

brandon is either super young, being sarcastic or has bad taste.

[@timmorino4005]

neotrunks Right??

[@calmartins4231]

I remember when TOYPAJ came out, it leaked as well, they were playing Felling This prior to the official release, and Mark sang "of internet" instead of "i'm feeling this" in reference to the folks that got the album leak. The world hasn't changed that much!

[@_NPJ]

Sorry mate but feeling this wasn't on TOYPAJ....

[@calmartins4231]

+Night Letters haha you're right! That was on Self-Titled.

[@rileygifford7642]

Already have the album

[@skatecats92]

Album first really bummed me out but its been growing on me like no other. Interested in what other longtime fans think.

[@neotrunks]

i think everything they have released so far is crap, the best thing to come off new album so far is the like 10-15 seconds of brohemian rhapsody. im hoping just the singles suck and there are some hidden gems on the album. seems like rushed uninspired work where the lyrics are really lacking.

[@skatecats92]

+neotrunks lyrics are shit all around. This is what happens when you loose the main songwriter.

[@ryndanriley5348]

+neotrunks I agree 100%. what they've released so far sounds more like older singers in one of the pop bands that's tried to imitate blink recently like five seconds of summer than it does like actual blink. I'll be pretty suprised if the album is close to par given what they've released so far.

[@skatecats92]

+Ryndan Riley expect a lot more five seconds of summer esque vocals. Only a few tracks stand out as "blink" songs.

[@ryndanriley5348]

+Noah Dekel good to hear. at least there will be a few songs worth listening to.

[@ASwagPecan]

Matt is so much better than Tom. I love him.

[@lnvasionProject]

Matt and Tom was a great musician. i dont think Matt better than Tom and Tom Better than Matt.everyone have a plus and minus man.you know what i mean?

[@Bob_Psycho100]

+Danii ADDL if you like Tom listen to AvA

[@lnvasionProject]

and please dont listen to the shitty twerk music. please listen to the real music like blink,alkaline trio and other cool band. thank you 👍😁

[@under_artist]

Ya! Tom is blink right Scott? I mean Travis?

[@4jp]

Blink was like 60% Tom. New music is still good, but more +44 than Blink-182.

[@xJurpi]

Wish they would come to Nola !

[@AlainBruno]

Blink 182 was my favorite band growing up.

[@jay-vc9ot]

I'm so excited for their new albumm

[@16annia]

mine tooo :)

[@mailinwinder3442]

and Limp Bizkit

[@andresambu931]

man, your pic is so gay

[@happybeingmiserable4668]

Was mine too until 2008 when I saw NFG live for the first time and yeah Blink is now my 2nd favorite band, NFG bringing me up on stage to sing with them in 2015 will always have them number 1 by a mile in my book. Sum 41 is 3rd place.

[@skilledslav]

just got the album today, and after a full listen I can safely say it's really damn good!! fans won't be disappointed

[@TheBlinkisback09]

was definitely disappointed... except cynical

[@P1983sche]

This record is solid. I enjoy it more and more every time I listen to it. Matt Skiba is awesome. They make a great mix!

[@Freekkyyyy]

I hope they do a UK tour definitely

[@lukeromano1063]

I'm confused. People are saying they listened to the album but it doesn't come out till the 1st of July. Are they talking about the 3 leaked songs or did I miss something?

[@soadfan1016]

the entire album leaked recently

[@lukeromano1063]

Where can i get it?

[@MrXinaredo]

just tip on google blink 182 california album download, enjoy haha

[@Fiqih]

Yeay

[@DJC1x42]

It was pretty irrelevant to bring up Travis's plane crash since it happened 8 years ago. I mean it's still tragic but there was literally no point to bring that up other than to start up something to say for Travis.

[@thebombisme123]

no one likes 30 second ads....

[@krisnelson2713]

i almost threw my phone

[@bradylavy9592]

+Kris Nelson I did and it struck a small Asian child.

[@bradylavy9592]

***** Try putting him in a bowl of rice..I hear that works.

[@mimjargle]

#DefendSkatePunk #TeamSkiba

[@jfhayeur9809]

Nothing was said in this interview.

[@chairface9388]

Travis seems very happy these days

[@brohemianrhapsody266]

Mark and Matt look particularly young in this

[@GLURDLESCLETCH]

How do people already know all the music on the album it doesn't release until July first!

[@kelzy.-.]

it was leaked

[@samdiego1965]

Does Travis play for the aquabats anymore?

[@paradigmshiftz7]

samdiego nope

[@yungnematode1041]

can everyone stop talking about the crash it legit doesn't matter anymore

[@elbatuko3310]

Aren't these guys the original there members?

[@boringstory2849]

Shut the fuck up

[@secrettknight2972]

The original members are tom, mark, and scott

[@elbatuko3310]

+Secrett Knight... Oh ok. Thank you.

[@HERETODESTROYYOUALL]

I like how everyone asks about the " NEW GUY " LOL as if it's his first band lol

[@truetype80]

is matt Tom's brother? lol they are so similar yet different

[@matthewayvar9393]

Blink 182 where?

[@CoolGuyBrendyn]

whats with matt's shoes

[@TheSummitCove]

How did matts hair grow back

[@cmckittrick91]

Idk if I believe them about the album being "fast" but we'll see.

[@XXXCrooklynzooXXX]

Sorry to "ruin the suprise" but i listened to a leak of the album and theres maybe 3 fast songs total

[@jasoncook2715]

+Mike Oxlong so did I and there were more like 6.

[@surajpoudel9219]

aAngel and airwaves is😁😁😁😁

[@antihistamean]

What's up with all the California hate and Tombies here? I think the album is such a step up from neighborhoods! Asking for Tom or the "real blink" is literally asking for AvA #2.

[@AyoitsC]

miss tom...

[@ninarenee2263]

travis is so hot marry me

[@untitlednoiseB]

and tom? :"v

[@jydbbo]

self title Blink album is to me the worst blink album idk why y'all hateing on the new one its fucking good!

[@osneiderfontalvo2597]

+travis barker PRESIDENT

[@harinabaniada8392]

Travis lmao

[@MrDjambronk]

i always thought that Neighborhoods is the worst album..

[@neotrunks]

it was and then this came out.

[@George182HD]

+neotrunks it's not out yet you bellend

[@MrDjambronk]

Andrew Brickner actually im buying every band's original if it's worth it, leaked album for me it's like a preview to me

[@lml1501]

No young fans, How disappointing.

[@dog8438]

lml1501 ikr. I feel like I'm only among a handful of people in Gen Z ('01) that actually loves pop punk and blink ._.

[@augustobezerra9390]

Huehue BR BR

[@JamieNinetyFive]

the new album is fucking awful, so generic, cheesy, cliche and over-produced. By far their worst album. Huge let down. Can't wait to get the real blink back.

[@gbfan1188]

go listen to AVA

[@_NPJ]

I had high hopes for Matt to bring some of the darker edgy alkaline style and it would sound like blinks self titled album. But nooooooope. Over produced and commercialised garbage. Marks a sell out. Tom would be laughing at this record. The worst part is that it's going to appeal to so many simple minded people who don't know anything about music and can't tell the whole thing was written by their producer.

[@skatecats92]

+Tanner Dunow It leaked last week. I got it as well. I have the same issues as floyd but it's starting to grow on me overtime. It'll definitely divide longtime fans for sure. It is really overproduced regardless of verdict. Some of the songs are borderline boybamd quality. Especially 'home is a lonley place' and 'she's out od her mind'. Tom's songwriting talent is definitely missed on this album.

[@_NPJ]

+Noah Dekel yeah that's cause they've now got the same producer who does 5 seconds of summers pretend pop punk boy band crap. Jerry Finn is probably laughing in his grave hearing this garbage. I've tried so hard to let this album grow on me, and admittedly there are a few songs I can get behind but the majority are head scratchers.

[@skatecats92]

+Night Letters yeah Its safe to say its all John's fault. I feel like he wrote like 80 percent of this album. The songs written by mark stand out like a sore thumb, in a good way of course. Kinda bummed they felt like they needed John for this.

[@artvandaley3297]

why did Tom leave the band?. I heard he got brainwashed by aliens.

[@theabacross1581]

They look so bored, no pun intended.

[@kallusedokc646]

I disliked this album

[@TheBlinkisback09]

much disappointment. very not blink. no bueno. (read like a doge meme)
