I expect plenty of abuse but they're fucking gods and this his made my day

Gosd? They only had one good song. Not that I'll admit to liking it through fear of death by embarrassment. 

They are crap, and epitomise all that is wrong with teen music

utter shite

Meh, must admit I loved them when I was 12/13. Not so much anymore but they've a huge fanbase so must be doing something right.

Tom delonge is a cunt. FACT.

After all of the break ups announced on here during the last few days, it's truly heart warming to have a story about people getting back together.

Is that the one where the drummer nealy died? the one thats on the reality TV show with his wife with the big boobies and 100000 kids?

I liked them when I was about 13 and didn't know any better. I still find some of their music catchy, but then I kick myself for liking it and realise they are actually shite.

I'm intrigued to hear what they produce, i always thought they were quite good.

They have to ditch the teen 'punk' rock now surely? They must all be in their 30's...

I'd like to see them try their hand at a new brand of techo jazz personally.

Blink 182 are ace, they play pop punk ace stuff, id rather kids listened to them than fucking pink.

They did ditch it, listen to their last album.

Agreed i'd rather kids listen to them than pop crap, they did write some proper anthems and travis barker is a fucking ace drummer. And without them I wouldn't have got into the music I am at the minute. But mr delonge is a smug cunt :P

I knew you come around eventually!

they'll never do any tours out of the USA thought.

What a pile of shit. The one band i totally hated at school and still hate now. Really over-rated much like the Sex Pistols. Punk is garbage and so is pop punk.

my last post doesnt mean i like them, but proof of what i was saying is in leggets post, got him into music, in my day it was the smiths/cure/housemartins. out of the centre into the left.

I think I should change my username back now. Get in there!

they're ace, as proven by the fact they don't take themselves too seriously
where as shite like foo fighters are as inane and mindless but adored.

let's fight!

That's great news! A bit of Blink never goes amiss :)

Hooray no more +44 and Angels & Airwaves!!!

They were among the many who refused to fly post-9/11 therefore cancelling a whole tour. Muppets.

Anyone who likes music would never dismiss a whole genre as garbage....except Jazz, that shit is bollocks. There's good and bad in everything. I've heard your band*..Sweet Jesus! Someone turn on the extractor fan, I'm choking here!

I like punk. I'm not sure what pop punk is, but I'm sure it's lovely.

*I've never heard Iffy's Onion Bhaji's band. I'm sure they could be the next Babylon Zoo.

No you've heard my old band Spacey.

Ace. Certainly the best of the pop punk bands around. TRavis Barker is one of the best drummers ever. Fact. I just wish they would play some proper punk music!

I think I may even possess one of their albums. I like the song Dammit but pop punk isn't my bag, baby.

Saying that I've shamefully stuck with what I considered a couple of decent punk bands who sold out (well I bought a couple more of their albums which I hate). The Offspring and Alkaline Trio being the ones that spring to mind. Sure there is more, actually The Damned tried to do the New Wave/Post Punk thing which I didn't like. Their new album is ok, they've gone a bit halfway house with it though.

Does anyone remember Sum 41? They were ace.

Sum41 were ok for about 5 minutes in 2001.

On the pop punk front I like New Found Glory and old Offspring stuff. Or going back before that, bands you'd also possibly class as pop punk like Ramones, Buzzcocks and The Jam.

That was a jest. I was going to go with Wheetus, but thought that was a little too obvious :)

Personally, I think the older stuff from The Offspring was too political to be classed as pop punk early on. In fact before Smash they weren't a commercial success. Anyway, I digress from my original point - I tend to like bands when they are more edgy and rough around the edges, compared to when they refine their sound. At least with punk anyway.

Inspired by this thread, someones facebook status and my break up i have been listening to mountians of "pop punk" tonight... Goldfinger, Mest, New found Glory ( i hear thier new album is amazing!), Midtown, No Use for a Name, Divit and not to forget a sprinkling of fenix TX
Woop!

I've always been an Offspring fan, but much prefer their earlier albums. Nerds with dreadlocks trying to play punk, it's just fucking awesome.

I also think Travis Barker is hugely over-rated as a drummer. Yeah, he's good, but one of the best around? Not even close.

didnt the singer from Mest kill a guy in a barfight?

Yeah he stabbed his girlfriends ex-boyfriend. I think he got away with it though, because the bloke assaulted him first so it was self defence.

For you Tails:

I all ready ordered one of those :?  ???

Sorry i posted......apologies!

And now the original line up of Limp Bizkit are planning a world tour...

I'm excited about this also, yet fully expect some mockery for this very reason.

I went to see Limp Bizkit back in about 98 as I got a free ticket. I actually quite enjoyed myself although I was a teenager back then!
