I thought both they and +44 were pretty great in their own ways permalink [ ]autumnfallnBandcamp 11 points 5 hours ago I was never a fan of AVA, even though I love old blink and +44. Not only does th e music itself just not appeal to me, but Tom's attitude about it...he was just really stuck up and snobby about it. That was a huge turn-off. And the "new voic e" that he used...wtf was that? The formation of +44 and the release of their album (at least to my knowledge) d idn't have so much hype surrounding it. Mark and Travis weren't saying they were going to change the face of music forever. They just made music and had fun. I dunno. I don't really hate on AVA, but I definitely don't respect the group an d I honestly don't think their music is great. I genuinely enjoyed +44, and whil e they obviously have their flaws as well, I would have liked to have seen more music come from them rather than AVA. My personal favorite of all this side proj ects was Boxcar Racer, though! So, so good! But that's just my taste!

Travis was on a platform, the closest thing I could really compare it to wou ld be Jabba The Hutt's platform, in the center of the stage. During one of the s ongs, he started doing a drum solo with the platform moving forward on the stage , flames erupting from the base of the platform, and the platform rotating slowl y so he was essentially facing everyone in the audience head on at least once du ring his solo. Just something I wanted to share. permalink parent [ ]funkyfritos[S] 9 points 11 hours ago

I saw +44 in Milwaukee a few years ago, but I was disapp ointed when Travis came out with a big cast on his right hand. Fortunately for a ll the fans there, it didn't matter. He had an extra pedal setup for a snare dru m(i think) and played the rest with his left hand. He didn't miss a beat, and st ill pulled off some of the greatest drum solos I've ever seen, all the while hol ding up his broken hand in the air. He is certainly the greatest drummer I'll ev er see play live. permalink parent [ ]Elder_Ent 5 points 7 hours ago I saw Blink182 in 98' at Warped Tour. They played at like 2pm, they weren't the big headliners.

[ ]svtguy88 3 points 8 hours ago Upvote for Mke reference. permalink parent [ ]plus44throwaway 6 points 5 hours ago* Hmm, relevant story. Edit: Quite the wall of text. tl;dr: Drove Rick Thorne and his crew around all d ay, ended up hanging out with Shane and got a personal thank you from Travis Bar ker. In 2007 during the Honda Civic Tour, +44 was touring with a few other bands and the Famous Stars and Straps crew (they were doing a separate promotional skate/B MX/street bike tour along side with Travis Barker). I was reading up on Mark Hop pus' blog that said "Well, looks like we just rolled up to Moline, Illinois!" Just happened to be super bored that day, so I took a stroll over to the Mark of the Quad Cities (Now the iWireless Center) to check it out. Sure enough, I see their tour busses parked out back. I see quite a few guys decked out in FSAS gea r, figured they'd be friends with Travis. (I really wanted to meet Travis and sn ap a photo that day because I had one on a disposable camera from the 2005 Warpe d Tour with him that NEVER TOOK. It was a major disappointment.) Out of nowhere, ne of the dudes ere from here?" l probably need I decided to walk over to the busses and say "What's up guys?" O said "Hey bro! You know where this skate shop is? Can we ride th I replied, "Uh yeah, that's in Davenport across the river. You'l a ride."

They look at each other then say "You wanna hook us up brother? We have stickers and shirts and shit!" I was like "Hell yeah! I'll roll over here in a second." I bring my car around, and they all start loading their bikes and skateboards in my trunk, which was filled to the brim with random stuff I hadn't cleaned out i n a few months. I'll never forget what one of them said: "Yo man, you should clean this shit out in case you need to kill a bitch sometim e. I'm from LA, we do that shit!" They all busted out laughing and I just kinda laughed it off. Anyway we pack 5 of their dudes into my Dodge SRT-4 with me in the drivers seat, and head for this skate shop in Davenport. On the bridge, one of the guys' truc ks fell off his board and an ongoing guy told us...I figured these guys were mil lionaires or at least really well off if they were sponsored and on tour with FS AS..."Hey man, we gotta go back for that truck!" "Haha...alright then." So we go back onto the bridge with decent traffic, slow d own to about 5 MPH so one of the guys can hop out and grab it. It was nuts. Even had a cop say "Hey, what was that all about??" So we go to this skate shop, and before I know it we get swarmed with everyone i n the shop asking for autographs and what not. I started to wonder who I was car ting around. Fast forward to us going to the Davenport skate park...everyone's s taring at us while we skate around for a bit, and as we're leaving the ENTIRE sk ate park of over 75 people came to my car and the guys just started handing out stickers and autographing everything.

Turns out I was carting around Rick Thorne and his crew, had no idea. So at the end of the day, I drop them off wondering if they'd introduce me to Tr avis as a final thank you. Rick tells me "Nah man, I know Travis has a tight sch edule right now. Can't do that to him." Ouch. I knew where he was coming from th ough, you don't bring random fans to a high profile friend unless they know abou t it and are cool with it in advance. He said "Sorry dude, but thanks again. You were a HUGE help today. Here's a bunch of stickers and some cash (like 40 bucks ). What size shirt you wear?" Got a few shirts too. So I snapped a pic with Rick, and went on my way. Well on my way out, I run inside the hotel to use the bathroom and the next pers on I see is Shane (the lead guitarist of +44) asking the clerk if he knew where he could buy some smokes. I said "Hey, you're with +44 right?" He's like ah shit , a fan "Yeah man. What's up." I just offer him a cigarette, he said "Eh fuck it." So comes out front of the ho tel and we just chat about the band and LA. Asked him about the song "No It Isn' t" and told him about a friendship I lost with a childhood buddy due to drugs, g ot betrayed and the song really helped me cope. He seemed genuinely cool with it , saying "Good man. Glad it helped you out." So fast forward to when his friends came out, they wanted to grab some food and a few beers so we all went to this little bar up the road in downtown Moline. On e of the guys played keyboard for Transplants, they all seemed pretty down to ea rth. After a few hours we head back, I snapped a photo with Shane but I ended up losi ng it over the years. It's on my old Motorola Rokr somewhere. So NOW as I'm leaving the hotel, all the FSAS dudes I helped out start pouring b ack into the lobby and they're all "Hey myname! Thought you left brother!" And t he last guy to roll in was Travis Barker. Rick says "Oh yeah Travis, this is the guy that helped us out today." Travis comes over, shakes my hand and is like "Yeah man, I heard you helped my f riends and held up traffic on the bridge. Thank you very much." Talked for a little bit, and got a picture with him. What a hell of a day. permalink parent load more comments (1 reply) [ ]TheEasyWay17 260 points 13 hours ago While both AVA and +44 are great, they just cannot compare to Box Car Racer.

Mark and Travis just did what they always did and created gamazing pop punk tunes and that's great for me. permalink parent [ ]abrooks1125 4 points 7 hours ago I think it mainly stems from my preference of Mark's voice over later-Tom's voic e. AVA has some really good songs, but I like nearly every song on the +44 album . They're also very different styles, and idk if I'm a fan of that neo space roc

ough for one guy to go off an make another band and produce a good album but the se guys were able to do so with four bands! (BCR, +44, AVA, Transplants) permalink [ ]Disintergration 8 points 8 hours ago I'm late to the party but what the hell... +44 are my favourite of the 2 projects that appeared after blink split. It was s uch a raw and passionate album that was a lot closer to the way blink sounded pr e-break up than AVA and I felt like it was some of the best writing Hoppus has e ver done, brilliantly reflecting the loss of a career that he had worked so hard to build and his best friend in the whole world whom he shared many many fond m emories with. Angels and Airwaves however was strange. I enjoy some of their songs but I could n't shake the feeling that Delonge was trying to hard to run from his former imm ature self and forget the whole idea of blink-182. It's an almost preachy album with an over use of synthesisers and now blink has returned I feel as if AVA mes ses with the new blink stuff. Neighbourhoods had way to much AVA influence for m y liking and it wasn't even the better sounding AVA stuff. I felt as if Delonge was taking the failed ideas from AVA albums and just throwing them at Hoppus and Barker leaving a mess of synthesisers mixed in with an out of place guitar soun d, and punchy pop punk bass and drums. However the songs that Hoppus is left to write, are jarringly obvious due to their pop punky undertones (e.g. Mh .4.18.20 11, the versus of Dogs Eating Dogs and the whole of Hearts All Gone). I also thi nk that there is still some tension between Tom and the other two, before the br eak up they were best friends and we could all see it. The played jokes on each other and never took themselves seriously, now we rarely hear of Hoppus and Delo nge interacting unless they are touring. TL;DR: +44 was my favourite of the two side projects. I'm not too fond of AVA. D elonge brings AVA into blink too much. Delonge and Hoppus are no where near as c lose as they were pre-break up. permalink [ ]loveisakeyblade 81 points 15 hours ago Definitely the better of the two bands that formed after Blink split.

Tom's proble m is that he came out a year before the band released anything and said he was w orking on the greatest album ever made.

I disagree. Personally, I just feel like +44 was blink182-light. Mark tried his best, but it just wasn't there. Which is a shame since when he first announced i t they described it as a Postal Service type rock/electronic mix. I think this w ould have fit Mark's style really well. Plus, you also have to take in to account +44 only released 1 album to AVA's 4 a lbums and 1 ep. Who knows what the rest of their music would be. I also enjoy AVA. A lot of it is too self indulgent and over-produced, but a lot of it is also really catchy and well written. permalink parent [ ]charlie1337 5 points 10 hours ago

I got around to listening to +44 and thinking they were amazing as hell, then I tried blink 182 a few months later (because why the hell not) i was floored, blink 182, together, is a million times better than any of the ba nds that were created post break up. Shit, Neighborhoods is more solid than When Your Heart Stops Beating (Album)-- a nd Dogs Eating Dogs EP has really whetted my appetite for what Blink has cooking for their next album-- JUST PLEASE RELEASE IT GODDAMMIT permalink [ ]googlyeyes93 7 points 8 hours ago I thought Neighborhoods was a pretty great effort and,showed how the band had ma tured. Sure it sounded a bit AVA-ish, but you can't expect all that influence to just leave immediately. Dogs Eating Dogs was great and was more of a return to older Blink sound, but with more mature lyrics. New album Is supposed to be out by August! permalink parent [ ]Rustash 2 points 6 hours ago What I liked about Neighborhoods is that you could clearly hear the influences e ach member brought with them from their time apart. Some songs sound more like A vA (Ghost on the Dance floor) and some more like +44 (MH 4.18.2011) but they all had enough little tweaks to make it sound like blink in the end. permalink parent load more comments (5 replies) load more comments (5 replies) [ ]mchughomchugho 5 points 10 hours ago Shit I forgot about the hot woman in the video.
