r/Blink182

Was 2003's self titled the beginning of Tom's AvA song writing?

Recently the 2003 self titled came on a shuffle and listening to "Always" and that had some serious Angels & Airwaves vibes -- almost sounded more like AvA than Blink did.

I'm just curious if this album was kind of a shift in that direction? I had read rumors that the Adventure or It Hurts were going to be considered to be Blink demos but never got fully published.

Is there a desire for a Biopic?

I know the bands not dead and gone, but it would be kinda cool to have a biopic about their individual perspectives and stories that ultimately weave into the One More Time album.

Thoughts?

Found my old Mark Tom & Travis Show

Anyone know if this booklet is from this or EOTS? Found it nearby but I had Enema too, so not sure which one it's from.

Two of my favorite things just collided.

It’s not everyday that you’d hear Nine Inch Noize mentioned during an Orioles broadcast. Glad to hear that Coachella was a success for them!

Another band name theory

I learned something recently that made me think more about the name origin, that I don’t think I’ve ever seen anywhere before.

I know in the past the band has always said the “182” was a random addition after the legal threats from an older band already named Blink, but I have a potential theory that it’s not actually random (and pretty morbid).

We know Tom and Scott were from a suburb of San Diego (born there in 1975 and 1978). Mark, while not from there, moved there in 1992.

There was a flight disaster in 1978 where two planes collided in air, and resulted in many fatalities: actually the deadliest disaster in California history at the time. The main airplane was Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 182, and the disaster happened in San Diego, so it would have been a pretty big local event from their childhood, and likely talked about (Tom and Scott would have been a toddler and baby at the time, but still maybe grew up hearing about this event).

My theory is that when they changed the band name in 1995, they were either trying to being edgy, but never wanted to admit the true origin of the number, as they realized many people would be shocked/disturbed by the reference. Alternatively, it could have been an inside joke, or even a metaphor of all of them coming together, etc.

If this has any truth to it, it’s obviously even more ironic with Travis’s tragic event that happened years later.

tldr: I’m wondering if the “182” in the name could be from a flight 182 that crashed in their hometown when they were kids.

Saw the NOFX doc last night in SF - they claim Melvin's wife wanted to kick out Mike and replace him with Tom

No idea if this text chain is real or if it was a joke that she wanted to replace Mike with Tom. But they seemed to be serious about the part that she wanted Mike replaced with someone else.

There's also a funny ~25 year old clip of Mark in the doc where he says something like "NOFX is great. They put on a show and they tell everyone that blink-182 sucks. It's great"
