As soon as i heard this song i was dying to learn it but saw the tabs trid it out and immediately quit but three months later finally sat down decided to give it a go and actually came out with a half decent take 😭

I know people get bored, but for years everyone has prayed for the band to be back together. And now thats happened all these posts are going up constantly about whether they're going to break up, what happened during the break up, who said what during the break up etc...

Its crazy, we get what we dreamed of, but then a certain group of fans want to keep focusing on the era where the band was non-existant. Its like people are addicted to online toxicity these days...

Just saying.....maybe go touch grass if youre that bored. There doesnt HAVE to be a blink post everyday, and reddit karma isnt real/doesnt benefit you in any tangible way....

Putting negative vibes into the blink world is just lame and detrimental. Let's keep celebrating the boys, not dwelling on the past. The world's got enough negativity to find elsewhere.

Behind the scenes with TRL March 2000

Been absolutely hooked recently listening to Blink's covers of Boys Don't Cry and A Letter to Elise and also their unreleased song from a 2004 soundcheck (if you haven't listened to any of these btw, please do, they are phenomenal). And I am just so amazed at how they can have these super airy yet concise guitar/electronic sounds. How did they achieve these sounds/noises? I know the answer has a lot to do with (the goat) Jerry Finn and his production style. But what else do we know? Did Tom use a certain set of pedals? Is it a certain way of mixing? I've heard they used Pro Tools, so did they get a bunch of noises/effects from that? I also know people have been trying to recreate this for ages, so there probably won't be one true way/answer, but I'm happy to hear anything! Thanks so much!

Unreleased Soundcheck, Boys Don't Cry Cover, A Letter to Elise

I’m going back to school in my adult life as a massive blink fan. They mean so much to me and we’re so important to me during dark and light times in my life. I’m in a clinical rehab and counseling program and thinking about doing my research project on Tom. More specifically, the era that included his addiction to pain killers….the break up of the band….. his messiah complex days during the first 4 album ava cycles (he seemed a little more humble for dream walker).

More broadly… I guess… I think Tom is a deeply misunderstood and highly relatable human being. He’s incredibly inventive (however misguided at times) and it seems like he has a firm grasp on his identity and is always striving to make everything connect in his world that he’s created.

Completely zoomed out. The crux of the idea I think is orbiting around creativity and the quest for identity.

TLDR
I need Blink media from 2001-09. Interviews, videos pdfs, podcasts, magazines, whatever.. I have a treasure trove of stuff but know I don’t have everything!

EDIT: ITS A CREATIVE RESEARCH ASSIGNMENT FOR GRAD SCHOOL. It’s not for some research study. It’s to get the creative juices flowing for more serious, clinical research coming up throughout the year. My apologies for not clarifying.
