their drummer is good....way too good for a pop-punk outfit.

Definately Agree... Travis Is a Beast... Only Talent in that band

for me is a bit like wes boreland who is the only talent in limp bizkit (why he returned i will never know). a talented guy surrounded by much less-talented co-members.

Yeah... but Wes Boreland... Not so talented... lol
Travis Barker accually deserves to be a Professional Drummer... Wes Boreland... not as much...

wes is preddy good i reckon.....the job he did in remexing apc's "weak and powerless" with danny lohner deserves a A. a lot of people said the same thing about tremonti in creed.

Well, I'd say Blink and those two bands are on an equal level in terms of badness. I can(or could) tolerate hearing a song by Good Charlotte. Heck, I'll even admit that I liked "Hold On" for a short time.(not anymore) But that new single(I just wanna live???)...............I HATE IT! Horrible song. Simple Plan got annoying after "Perfect". Blink got annoying after that first single off the last album. I consider all three bands on an equal level, I dislike'em all the same. Oh, and I hate how some people call them "Rock" bands. They aren't Rock. They're Pop-Rock at best, but definitely not Rock.

I wouldn't even go that far... They're Pop-punk

Yeah, that's true.

i vote good charolette next

you're forgetting one important fact......blink were the orignal whilst the other two are the more than horrible clones.

I hated that band anyways ;) They were annoying as crap :wtf:

Yeah, that's true, but I still dislike them all equally.

actually, as someone said on another board, Blink 182 has been doing their thing way before all this pop-punk shit era started...

their serious songs are pretty damn good.

and Mark Hoppus is an awesome bassist imo.

oh, snap! i've got some ignorant friends. we were all chillin' yesterday, and i said something about blink breaking up. my buddy & roommate from last year, Grant (some of you may remember CreedH8er), said he had heard about it. My roommate this year, Dustin, said he had too. They were both like "that's sad, because they were pretty good". after i disagreed with them, ol' Dusty had the temerity to say "well, better than Creed, or Alter Bridge". oh, shit, that pissed me off (esp. because he, too, liked Creed... and only after they put out Weathered which, IMO, is their worst album--but not terrible.... he also liked OYE when he first heard it, w/o knowing it was AB). he's also a huge country music fan. listens to that crap all the time. so i played my ace: i said "well, at least i don't pay $150 to go to a country boy-band concert (Rascal Flatts) back home w/ a girl before you're even together." (yes, he paid for her ticket, too). sure, they're together now, but i'd say she's pretty shallow, considering she hated him about 2 or 3 months ago, and prolly only likes him b/c he's flashin' the greenbacks. of course, this comment got a pretty big laugh from Grant & Cody, the other fella we were hanging out with. i feel bad for these guys, listening to the crap they do, and being impressed with it. i like a couple o' blink's songs (Stay Together for the Kids is far and away my favorite, Feelings This, b/c the bassline is badass, and I Miss You is decent). but most of their crap just doesn't pull me in. slaves to the MTV age, they are. it's a shame grunge ever happened: it took all the fun out of music. then the whole punk revival came about, trying to have fun again, but they're all a bunch of whiny, rich, white kids pretending they've got serious problems.

Lol, don't you just hate the Creed/Alter Bridge bashers? Particularly the ones who have a bad taste in music? I do. My brother listens to bands like Puddle of Mudd and Linkin Park(they're ok, but not that good) but refuses to even give Alter Bridge a fair chance. It's pretty annoying, but, hey, if he bashes Creed or Alter Bridge, I can always fire back with an anti-Puddle of Mudd comment.:D
