Mark Hoppus Blogs About Possible Blink-182 Reunion

Following the jet crash that nearly killed DJ AM and Travis Barker, Barker’s +44 bandmate Mark Hoppus has been pondering the future of their old band Blink-182. “In the midst of everything else that has happened lately, Tom, Travis, and I have all spoken together,” Hoppus writes on his blog. “First through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. They’ve all been great, very positive conversations. We’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking.” Following the demise of Blink-182, Hoppus and Barker formed the backbone of +44 while Tom DeLonge splintered off to create Angels & Airwaves. So do the conversations mean we can expect a 182 reunion? “The answer is none of us know. We haven’t talked about it at all. Right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past,” Hoppus writes. “The events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. Life is too short.”

I’m positively dripping with excitement

Blink 182 -

Please stay broken up. I know your new projects are failures, but don’t you have enough money to just go away?

Thank you in advance,

America

Blink 182 forever | 11/19/2008, 4:55 pm EST

BLINK ME | 11/19/2008, 10:09 pm EST

Holy shit!!!!!!
I need to see Blink live!!!!!!
For the love of holy hell, get back together!!

Schultz | 11/19/2008, 10:40 pm EST

Does anyone really care?

Hell Ya! | 11/20/2008, 12:00 am EST

Blink-182 is a great band you prissies. I could picture myself at a B-182 show with a raging crowd just partying and feeling the music. This reunion needs to happen.

CR1ZZ | 11/20/2008, 12:49 am EST

Blink-182 are a very good band and by the way JEn. Your right, this dave guy dose’nt know shit. A decent rock band dose’nt perform or reunite simply for money. They do it for their fans and for the love of such an art. A pathetic desperate band would reunite for money. Blink are not pathetic.

saad | 11/20/2008, 1:44 am EST

while i admit a reunion would be intriguing, especially since their last album was their best and showed potential for even greater things beyond their usual frat boy humor and uncanny ability for power pop. i guess to me its a what if? if they reunite, i think they would just tour playing their hits instead of new material, so if that’s the case, they can stay broken up for a while

Stephen | 11/20/2008, 4:09 am EST

I would absolutely die if they got back together. *Crosses fingers*

Adam | 11/20/2008, 9:37 am EST

Jerry Finn just passed, who would produce this album? I agree, their last album was their best, and one of the better albums I’ve heard in the last 5 years or so.

Adam

Kaidt | 11/20/2008, 9:51 am EST

if blink get back together…they are going to have to offer something completely new and fresh…you can’t carry on singing about life in college for the next 10 years…i like blink’s vocals…but the lyrics…although often amusing and sometimes good….can get quite immature and irritating…i am definately not opposed to a blink regrouping…

Jay D | 11/20/2008, 1:12 pm EST

Kaidt is right. Everyone loved b-182 (well, almost everyone), but there songs were all about the college life and living in the twenties. They are older now, they would have to switch there style up, and blink-182 was known for there old style. A comeback could ruin their legacy potentially.

john | 11/20/2008, 2:59 pm EST

Their last album was amazing, they already have done something new so if they pick up where they left off this could be great

Stuart | 11/20/2008, 3:15 pm EST

Anyone saying blink can’t keep singing about college life needs to listen to their last album which was utter brilliance and a complete departure from their previous work.

Please get back together!!!

gnrbuckeye | 11/20/2008, 4:31 pm EST

“Does anyone really care?”

You wonder why so many people have this response? Its because Blink 182 sucks. Thats why.

Charlie | 11/20/2008, 6:02 pm EST

to all of you who say that all they sung about was college life and life in the 20’s, thats not true… there last album had nothing to do with college or frats…a reunion would be amazing!…I would like to see some new material but even just a tour would be awesome!.. REUNITE!!

YES | 11/20/2008, 6:37 pm EST

I love blink182, and grew up listening to them. A reunion would be just what i need

bradyy | 11/20/2008, 8:19 pm EST

it’d be so amazing!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m praying, so excited xD

EDGAR | 11/20/2008, 10:42 pm EST

i love blink 182. it would be awesome if they come back together. i did not know how good they were until i listened to their Greatest Hits c.d. I also just recently bought the Chesire Cat, and Dude Ranch albums. they sound great and funny.

paula | 11/21/2008, 3:12 am EST

OMFG THIS IS THE BEST NEWS IVE EVER HEARD EVER!!!

Theyre amazing and the same as everyone else, growing up listening to them :D
They should release a new album though, they should just do a worldwide tour and release the DVD, and if that went well (which it would) they could work on new material. Im starting to save money as we speak! lol TICKETS WILL SELL OUT LIKE A BITCH!!!

best wishes,
Tom Delonge

big blink fan | 11/29/2008, 7:08 pm EST

it would be amazing to see blink-182 come back.

they are one of the greatest bands to have ever walked the face of the earth, with so many tracks which are just as famous as any of michael jackson’s, which is pretty huge.

they MUST reunite. +44 and AVA can still continue as side projects, if they should wish to, but a blink reunion would definately change the face of a sect of music out there today.

donnie | 11/29/2008, 8:49 pm EST

hey, love your stuff come and play in orlando fl. like the house of blues. You guys ROCK!!!!!

dart76 | 11/30/2008, 1:23 am EST

dave fuck off blink 182 is the best band that ever lived they are an inspiration to billions and many are depressed over the break up

Evan | 12/1/2008, 5:23 pm EST

I’ll cry. End of story.
This band inspired me to be who I am today. Tom and Mark are two of the most influential people in my life and many others can say the same. I have all of their music and videos, and seeing them live would be a dream come true.
BLINK, COME TO PHILLY AND PLAY AT THE ELECTRIC FACTORY OR THE TLA!!!

WOWW >>>>!! | 12/1/2008, 9:24 pm EST

hey ,
i dont even know if you guys read this or not..but man you guys inspired pretty much my whole life…i grew up listening to you ….man im only 15 and ive been in a band for four years…we used to cover all of your music until we got our own sound…you guys are probably the main reason i ever picked up a guitar…my band no has our own sound of course…its up to you guys if you wanna get back together its all your decision …but it would make alot of peoples lives better and bring back good music…instead ofall these pussy fucking bands that are out now…+44 and angels and airwaves are both missing somethign….reunite …For us & yourselves

Anonymous | 12/2/2008, 3:40 pm EST

Don’t be gay tom, blink-182 was so much more better off then angels & airwaves. Angels & airwaves is pretty bad ass but blink was way better.

ben | 12/17/2008, 4:28 pm EST

actually cr1zz. blink 182, or at least mark knows he is pathetic.

Jewlee | 12/18/2008, 8:33 am EST

First off, the people whom are pretending to be Tom Delonge and Mark Hoppus really need to get a life.

I think a reunion tour would be great! I’ve been a fan for several years and still to this day listen to your albums on a day to day basis, so a reunion would mos likely make me cream my pants.

JUST FUCKING DO IT ALREADY!
Everyone wants a reunion!!

Alex | 12/19/2008, 10:14 pm EST

if theyre getting back together thatd be sick, blink 182 is totally badass haha.

deardevan | 12/21/2008, 12:57 pm EST

Monkie drummer | 12/30/2008, 1:58 am EST

No offence but uguys are not helping at all, if they feel like getting back together then they will, but until then let them fucking decide

Meg | 12/31/2008, 11:20 pm EST

we’ve all got to bare in mind its been FOUR YEARS.
so its gunna deffinately take a while for them to get in to the swing of things.
Can you imagine how much pressure they must be under from so many fans. (including me)
all Im gunna say is, I reckon it would be incredible if they got back together, honestly it would be one of the greatest things to ever happen to the face off music, but we’ve all gotta just wait and see.
and if things dont work out we’ve still got ava and plus 44, so its all good.

If Blink does get back together for a reunion tour, that shit would sell out so fast.

I would be so.. oh my gosh. blink get back together for yourself your fans and the music world! you guys are such an inspiration! I grew up lisenting to you! pleeease do a reunion tour! i would go in a heartbeat! (:

it needs to happen, just the hint of them reuniting has caused such a stir. If i was them and i knew there were so many people desperate for a comeback tour or even a new album id put it all aside to just please crowds, they’d make too much money off it aswell.
