Who else is excited for new Blink?!
Rock Sound cant wait!! So interesting that mark describes the EP as Nine + TOYPAJ, with the take off your pants and jacket style of songs being created during quarantine. I wonder why them being separated and in the Covid-times led their sound to get a bit punchier.
👋
MEEEEEEE🔥🔥🔥
Depends. Is Tom going to be a part of it (hopefully)?
Me I just hope Tom comes back
Really cool interview! I can’t listen to Dammit without hearing “Take your pants off!” before the full band kicks in.
Nor can I listen to Whats Your Age Again without hearing Wheres Your Asian Friend
Do you think that the album was actually "live"
Jw
@@mr_rogersM320 Yes, but it was recorded in parts throughout the tour. Pretty sweet record.
@@TP_Gillz Nothing about that album was "live" and nothing about disinformation is cool.
Saaaaame
16:32
That's the first time I've heard either Mark or Tom mention Scott without being asked about him. I doubt they talk to him, but I didn't expect that.
I know every single word of banter on tMTaTS and i can still play along to the entire record on drums. Immensely important to me
At 8:40 you asked everything ive been wanting to ask them for so many years, thanks for that, that settles a lot of my questions.
Love your interviews, dude! Keep em up! You always get Mark to talk about interesting stuff.
What’s up with pot leaf? How old are you? What are you in 9th or 10th grade? I think it’s time you maybe evolve a bit and become a productive member of society instead of risking being a future file number for the police.
I will not respond to this. In fact after I send this I’ll arrange it so responses won’t be accepted. Mostly because I want you to reflect on what I said, thereby a response isn’t necessary. And in case you decide to respond back with a lot of nonsense I won’t have to be subjected to it. This gives me the last word and by default I win. Have a nice day.

the mark tom and travis show is my favorite blink album of all time, neighborhoods and nine come close but the energy on this album is just insane. Toms vocals are on point and travis is just a insane on the drums. The amazing thing to me is that I think that this was my favorite album when I was like 16, now that im in my early 30s and listening to it Im like fuck yeah, this is the shit. Ive gone through a lot of changes in taste of music over the years but to hell with it, this album is still up there as one of my favorites.
I feel like the best part about it now is simply the inclusion of the two 'Cheshire Cat' songs--"Carousel", and "Peggy Sue". Especially because of the fact that they went back into the studio and overdubbed the hell out of the basic 'live' tracks, we essentially get a proper re-recording of those tracks, from the record with far and away the worst production quality out of the bunch. The result, especially in the case of "Carousel", is that these versions imo more or less become the definitive ones, even just based on audio clarity alone (although, after chuckling mildly the first 2 or 3 times hearing it, after that, I do wish I was somehow able to get rid of all the "Brrrrr, Stickup!!" etc etc asides and just have them sing-the-fucking-lyrics lol). I actually wish they had played MORE of the 1st record, although that would've made no sense as far as playing to the crowd they were at the time...I'd love to be able to put together a collection of like, better-quality live takes of that real early stuff, though.
@@mywhychromosome yeah, exactly, it has all the best versions of the songs from the cheshire cat and dude ranch albums. There were a few songs from dude ranch that didnt make the album that I wish did unfortunately, but they did do quite a set list. WIsh they would do another "live" album, its hard to find any decent live recordings of blink lately, I don't really blame them, all the mixes are just terrible, if they actually made an effort to mix the songs properly they would probably have something decent.
Very excited for the new blink EP. Quarantine was refreshingly different from nine. Great interview.
Because it was written by Travis and Mark. Listen to Mark trav sent him the general idea and he did the rest at his home. No matt influence at all. I love all Blink even there other projects like Boxcar Racer and +44
Would be nice if they would digitally release the bonus tracks from all three editions of TYPOJ
When it’s Fall of 2020...
And I wait, and I wait, and I wait, and I wait for them...
You ask really good questions dude
I love blink-182!
@K!ng Anak!n Awesome 👍
Yep! Same. Love the older stuff. Pants and Jacket. Cheshire Cat, Flyswatter, and Dude Ranch.
He was a part of the soundtrack to my elementary school years and now he looks like every elementary school teacher at 5:30 in the morning when they wake up for work
james wilson-taylor stan club
Great interview as always!
When the EP is out please re-release your other EP in a less limited print!
8:55 THANK YOU!!! so much for asking mark about this! i know this live album off by heart more than any of the studio album of by heart, song and jokes!
They should rerelease take off your pants and jacket that’s includes all bonus songs
SRC did that.
@@vassili87 SRC?
@@calvFF7 SRC Vinyl
@@vassili87 We need all formats
Just recently saw What Went Wrong can be found on Spotify
still waiting on that ep haha
These are great questions!
I just love how happy he looks when he talks about tom (10:44) 💕
Well I hope you still come to Milwaukee for the show that was supposed to happen at Summerfest! 😑182!
nine was awesome
miss tom
Awesome interview
Futures all day. Love Mark, great video.
For the record.. the single market kills the suspense and excitement.. it’s like Christmas.. you wait all year for one day and that’s what makes it special! What these guys are suggesting is dividing up those 12 presents into once a month.. personally I’d rather build to the excitement rather then open 1 present up once a month.. especially considering songs are only like 3 or 4 minutes.. it’s like great, I listened to this 6 or 7 times and never listen to it again.. whereas with a full album, I love the journey of understanding from track to track.. plus you can introduce so much more behind the scenes!
Good point
Yep, was thinking the same...Enema of the state wouldn't work if it woulldn't be one piece.
It’s exactly what the Gorillaz are doing currently it’s been working out really well for them!
Failure put out their latest album as a collection of ep's, having the album spread out didn't have me listening to when it finally came out, didn't feel as special as a full album
its 2020 dude, releasing an album every 1- 2 years apart doesnt work anymore. people dont have the attention span they use to. if a band isnt constantly releasing new music people will forget about them and move on. the best way to stay relevant if you as the band still want to release albums with 4 signals from the album dropping before the full album is to drop one single a month for 4 months in a row then drop the album but make sure the 4 singles are at the end of the album cause most fans have already heard them. also most people dont listen after song 8 on the album. look at new rap acts that have popped up in the last 5 years alot of them release a new song every week and they have like 1 million monthly listeners on spotify each. they could also release an ep every couple of months. basically the band has to try to keep the fans thinking about them at all times.
Stayed in touch with friends. How's Tom doing sir?
This dude did an interview with him as well, it's so
mark called him recently after watching their making the album video (from untitled) so I'm sure he's doing good 💕
my history
Liked before the video started
And this is meaningful how?
He looks more talkative here than in the Jim Adkins podcast
@Christian Espinoza what up dude haha
Hello There Mark Hoppus!!!
Does rock music NEED to “catch up”? I think the reason rock music is so special is because it’s not anything else. Also, fans of rock and rock bands usually have very special relationships with albums. That doesn’t really happen in most/ any other genres.
8:35 Mark, Tom and Travis show
Wonder what happened to all the songs he mentioned being done
Alright how about this guys. A Blink-182 and Angels&Airwaves world tour 2022. That would be insanely epic.
You guys should get Good Charlotte on for an Interview!
Why?
Foreall they fell off the radar. They’re too busy doing Veeps or whatever it’s called. They did a live stream 4 months ago that’s bout it
Yeah and Sum 41! And while you're at it Bowling for Soup and Yellowcard!
Joe Learned Yellowcard is canceled every since they tried to sue a dead man.. hate to say it
@@Thatguy55595 Yellowcard is still awesome! I listen to their music a lot! Lots of people still love them!
So what happened to this EP?
Keep your head up Mark, you are a massive inspiration to me in all projects of yours.
Mark looks like a slightly nerdier version of Noodles. Don’t believe me? Google images of noodles from the offspring.
How about the song with rickyhimself
Someone time stamp the mark Tom Travis show bit. That’s all I care to hear. Thanks chumps
Nah. Find it yourself 😂
Keanu Paler some chump will come along like you
Mark should visit his home town more often...
Tom .... please .come back in your family (((((((
I don’t have the willpower to sit thru this whole thing, can somebody tell me when he talks about mark Tom Travis show?
Its less than 20 minutes long. Do it yourself lol
randomassname Ah come on mate, help an old bloke out would yuh?
@@nathanmcdowell4064 nah stop bein so lazy haha
Play it in double speed, UA-cam has that function you know/
it's around the 9min marker
Blink is no stranger to remote recording.
Im not allowed to play mark tom and travis anymore at home
I like how every interview has to ask about Tommy D. As if Matt Skiba isn’t frontman to one of the best rock bands in the last 20 years.
TheGooglySmoog he didn’t ask about Tom at all?
I mean Tom pretty much help write the most successful songs of their career. And Tom wasn’t mentioned.
Thank you 🙏🙌🙌
Tom doesn’t need to be mentioned. He WAS in blink-182 but he threw that away and his little ego was struck when he realized that he can be replaced. Replaced by someone WAY better. A better musician, songwriter and a far better vocalist.
@@justindee5855 oof not it man
Mark looks 20 years older than Tom... holy shit
He is like 5 years older
@@rocketgrunt5252 exactly, that's his point
genetics, tom's skin cancer, his back pains, drugs, all of that takes a toll on your body. He could also look younger if he actually shaved that shitty beard that he cant even grow proper lmao
@Xx xX 3 and a half if you wanna get specific..who knows..Tom has a baby face and maybe mark has like crohns or something...don't overthink it
@@fersan92 Tom looks super fine tbh. He's gorgeous. And adorable.
Blink 182: Like ❤️
Green Day: Comment 👑
I love mark's hair. Looks like a pineapple :)
Looks like Mark is different after he was cool to be well, odd! : 0
Did he just say all time low is releasing an album??
no, i think he was saying they just released one in 2020 (wake up sunshine).
I feel like he could’ve meant wake up sunshine or maybe he dropped a hint 👀
@@isthisthingcursed that's possible, either way he kinda worded it poorly 😂😬
I’ve always said Clarity is their best record!!!
Mark looks a little like Michael Keaton
How did Mark go from looking 35 to looking 60 in like two years
You gotta respect the lesbian aunt look.
@@CyanideSausage HAHAHAHAHA
I was thinking the same. He aged terribly but I guess he was hiding cancer. Shit ravages you
Come on MARK... Can you see a world where say The Misfits never dropped a full length album or Ranicd just releasing Ruby Soho or Blink releasing Pathetic or something and not the entire record... You can't see that world, cause that world SUCKS. Rock fans want the full body of your work, not a 3 min tester tease, I can barely get hard in 3 mins, without pharma help that is... I love you Mark and always will, your still on my bedroom wall for God's sake from your Take Off Your Pants tour, but dude this of ALL times is the time to cherish the album and NOT let all of music go the way of the single.
I want a band to be locked in some house in the middle of no where for a month and record, and I want to hear the full result. < That's a fuckin album broski brolo
OR.. do whatever you want, were all gonna consume it however you choose to give it. But I hate the single route, I need more substance to my music than a 2 min beat ur meat.
PS, I had Dude Ranch on spotify tonight in the car and if that record came out in pieces the world would be a WORSE place, many kids would never of gotten all of those songs that way. BOO on you. Love ya. Stay safe.
I'll forever love Blink 182, but Hoppus looks like my grandad there and I'm like 4 years old than him.
Lol
New ep lol.
Wasn't Taylor Swift's last album drop a big deal?
Yeah, but it was because it was a surprise drop. There was no hype, or build up.
This heart my heart a little. I thought they were more passionate. Everything is a joke is the vibe I get from Mark.
he's just...happy???
Dude looks like my ex's mom with those glasses and hair
That's a bad thumbnail pic..
8:21... Instead of waiting 6+ years for a full album to be released that has been teased for the last 2 years. Yeah, Tom I’m talking about you with AVA.
2014 - TDW
2015 - Terrible EP
2016 - Decent EP
2017 - Acoustic EP of WDNTW songs and clearly was taking too long to make so stopped production at 4 songs
2018 - Nothing and constant posts saying “album coming soon”
2019 - 2 singles and constant posts saying “album coming soon”
2020 - 1 single and constant posts saying “album coming soon”
At this stage the album will probably be released end of 2021 or maybe even start of 2022.
early 21 i think. they already done recording instrumentals and 30% of vocals
Strange Times how’d you know?
@@peter9111 toms and ilan instagram posts
Strange Times They have not said anything about all the instrumentals being done and 30% left of vocals. Are you talking through your bum hole?
There are plenty of bands that don't release music every year, especially when artists have the freedom to do one whenever they like, he's released music in those years so I don't really see the problem. Rammstein took 10 years between their last record and the new one
Why does he look like Tom Arnold.??
Wes Cochran because he’s getting old lol, we all are
@@cardbored_ but we don't all look like Tom Arnold, though.
That live album had to have been done in a studio, Tom never ever ever ever played that well live 😂
It was live but there was definitely some post production work done on the recording IIRC. If it was just a fake live album and I didn't know all these years i'd be disappointed with myself being a blink fan of 21 years.
It was recorded live on the Loserkids Tour, but then mixed and mastered by Jerry Finn in post production.
Definitely was recorded live as Mark mentions here. They bring a recording sound truck along on tour and record all (or multiple) the shows and then in post production they edit all the best takes together. On the Mark Tom and Travis show they obviously fixed a lot of the mistakes in post production because the performance is basically flawless which we all know is not true Blink. It's actually pretty standard practice for most large bands doing a live album to do it that way.
Oh thank God their new music will harken back to their earlier days. I did not like “Nine” at all.
Carrot top?
Will anyone ever get the balls to ask why they called it a live album when it clearly was not. Anyone who has ever seen them live knows that TMT&TS was not "live".
..... You can literally watch videos from that era of touring online...
@@kindkidbk and they sound nowhere near as pitch perfect as that "live" album. Tom is notorious for missing notes left and right, even back then... lol
MRRogers M320 Tom was in his prime back then and could’ve sounded good when he wanted to. He probably tried his hardest for those two shows they did for the live album. Maybe a little produced but definitely live
Chris O'Reilly Definitely & Mark even says how nervous they were in this video
@@chrisoreilly1029 Oh yeah totally... lmao. You are either tone def, delusional, 16 years old, or have never seen them live. The entire album is doctored to hell. Even if it was during the "glory days" before you were born.
Nerves don't make you sound pitch perfect. "Nerves" don't make you hit every single note on a guitar when you've never EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PLAY AN INDIVIDUAL SONG correctly even though you wrote it yourself. Find me one video of tom playing a song on guitar correctly let alone singing and playing it correctly simultaneously. Like literally find me a single one.
Big fan, love the band but that album is not live and I will always point it out.
Mark mouth has a permanent frown
Ever since Tom left...
Wait wait wait hold the flipping phone they have a song with Oliver Tree? Oliver all ready kind of sound like Tom on his songs.
Oliver Tree sounds nothing like Tom Delonge....
kind kid go watch Karma Police by Oliver trees. Focus on his pronunciation.
mark lookin like drew Carey
this guy, "mark tom and travis show never ages". They make jokes about being gay. It's aged.
I mean, there's no way the Mark Tom and Travis show is not dubbed. It's amazing, but blink just don't sing live like this, there's now way :P
Thumbnail: someone has aged.
I mean, he is nearly 50.
We all do, duh, what was he supposed to do? Stop time?
comment: someone is rude
I wish Mark could just admit blink is no good without Tom.
Nah
Idk I love the old and new blink. Their music has changed and grown up as they have. They don't feel like they *need* to stick to the same exact type of album each time. Every album I like more than the rest. "Signature blink but something different" love it. If he likes the music they're making that is a very good sign. If a musician is proud of their music (we're our worst critics) then it's a very good sign this is gonna be great.
Mark please stop making trash songs and calling it Blink 182. It’s the most bland commercial crap I’ve ever heard.
Yea
So happy they delayed the launch to ensure they didn't distract a single potential rioter from burning down an innocent persons business!
I appreciate mark keeping his hair style, but that’s a peacock
