so there may be less Hoppus-inspired madness on the board these days...

I agree that I don't think this is really an official break-up, I think we can expect to see more of them in another 5 years or so. Of course...I guess now we'll be getting more Boxcar Racer. 
Now if only all the greats would come back off hiatus! Fugazi! At The Drive-In! PLEASE!

I nearly soiled my shorts when I first heard their newest release! |

As much as I do not like Blink-182, there have been many a kids who started rockin because of them. Who knows how many of them will stick with it, and become solid, mature, and busy muscians.

I have to say, Mark could at least sing, and keep time pretty well, but he was no super star uber kool bassist like some people think. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
