New Blink-182 album rules

I know it’s not REAL punk rock, but still good music. Probably the best album they’ve ever put out. Plus, my favorite song on the album has a lyric about dousing yourself in gasoline.

    College freshman DDJ loved Blink-182. I haven’t had any desire to check out this new album but I’ll now give it a try.

    My band did a lot of blink covers back in middle school. Chicks dug it.

    My college band of row peter puffers only played AC/DC, Stones, Nirvana, CCR and Skynyrd covers.

    You could get beat up in those days for covering Blink 182.

    My middle school band was called Quasar. (We actually had multiple bands).

    Unlike your cover band, we had all original material.

    I wrote a song called "Space Age Cage", about a guy floating through space trapped in a cage.

    Also wrote a song called "Rock and Roll Party in the Gutter" about a guy who was so drunk he couldn't stand up. So he just laid there in the gutter enjoying the music.

    Beats the hell out of Blink 182 covers.

    I didn’t know (or forgot) that you were in a band, Yella. Makes sense as you’re such a music aficionado.

    Yeah, you’re a few years older than me, and Blink 182 didn’t hit their stride until I got to college, so you were wise to keep them off your set list.

    I would LOVE to get into a Time Machine to hear young Stalin and Quasar perform.

    Do you still have any recordings of your songs?

    Was it technically gifted songwriting?

    I never said we didn’t have original material. We put out two demos and started playing clubs in the 8th grade. Chicks dug that too.
