Is this surprising? A few Blink songs are about/mention aliens

Yeah but they're pretty subtle. It's not like he just named them "Aliens Exist" or anything like that.

Between this and Travis Barker's fear of flying, Mark is the only normal one is this group.

As an avid Blink fan, it's really whatever to me. They're in their 40's now and they can't exactly make music about teens anymore so if aliens are his thing, then whatever. Hundreds of thousands "believe" and follow aliens, so it's not that shocking.



Im a big fan too, its really weird to see them singing about the same shite. Tom will come back, they will still play until they are 60

I would probably never fly again if I was Travis either.

Travis Barker's fear of flying


I mean, he is scared to fly after he was involved in a deadly plane crash.

This thread made me go look them up. I just realized I knew just about every one of their songs and can sing most of them, and don't know the name of a single damn one of them

Supposedly Tom does have commitments for a docu-series about Aliens and Government secrets and also a major movie from his fictional writings that could cost up to $100M for production. He is actually an incredibly smart businessman.

We owe him a debt of thanks for his service to our country and humanity.

This is why I never take Hollywood or band members seriously when they talk about real life issues or politics

Tom has lost his mind. AvA is more pretentious than U2. New Blink Album is solid. Skiba fits in great live.

So have I. Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch and 2 of my favorite albums of all time. They started going downhill when Scott Raynor left the band.

All pretty sad now. Punk is a teen/early 20's genre. What albums of merit have any of them put out since they heydays?
