AboutDoug Expertise I can answer almost any question about blink-182. I can answer questions about their backgrounds, growing up, the music, instruments, almost anything. I can't answer where exactly they live today.
Experience I've been a blink fan since '97 and have bought all their records.
Question I have a few questions:
1.Who is Hollie from All of this and Easy target?
2.Why,and on what instruments did they make The fallen interlude,I mean,it has nothing to do with anything...
3.Is the song GO made by Marks personal expirience?tell me what you know about it.
4.Are they still in a fight,and is there any chance they will ever play together again?
Answer Hey Stiv, I'll answer your questions like you asked them.
1. In my opinion I think all of blink-182 (the album) was about Hollie. It's a fictional character they made up, and although she's only mentioned in two songs, every songs fits about her. Some girl that left him. But to answer your question, she is a fictional character they made up for this album.
2. The fallen interlude, continuing my theory about Hollie, is an intermission, and interlude to the album. Taking a break, some easy music you could say. Also I think everyone liked the idea of an interlude in an album because there is one on +44's When Your Heart Stops Beating (Interlude) and Angels and Airwaves I-Empire (Jumping Rooftops). They used drums, a synth, and a keyboard. Also they took the words from Down. (Down Down Down, Pick Me Up).
3. This song is like old blink-182. Meaningful, fast, loud, and awesome. But I hear everyone saying it is because Mark's name is in it. Honestly, I don't know. It could be though because Mark had an abusive stepfather and it just went with it. That's what I believe because he pretty much rocks this song. It's about a kid whose dad (or step) is abusive and he tries to get his mom and him to go but they have no where to go. The kid just can't take it anymore.
4. Very touchy subject. Tom has said that he wants to talk to them and wants them to call him. He has also said that he would love to play with them again but not now because he's committed to Angels and Airwaves. Mark and Travis on the other hand are still mad. According to them, Tom abandoned them and wasn't the same person at the end. Watch this for a full explanation from them: http://youtube.com/watch?v=XsexEdEB4Lw
Also Travis has said they can't call him because Tom moved and changed his phone number and e-mail. So either Tom is trying to be the good guy or Travis and Mark are stretching the truth of the break up a little bit. Sorry but I wouldn't expect a reunion anytime soon. +44 is working on a new album and Angels and Airwaves are going to begin touring in February. In my opinion Tom will have to do the reaching out and talking because according to the other two, "We didn't break up, one member quit so we disbanded." Sorry
Thanks for your questions!
Doug
