Sweet.. i don't mind a bit of Blink.

Hopefully Tom aka Matty Johns does the majority of the singing as I think Mark is pretty average.

And to be honest i dont know why you'd go see them, beyond the fart jokes they've had a rep as being a pretty terrible live band

i saw them last time they were in sydney, and they were absolutely amazing. top 3 of all bands i've seen and i've seen a LOOOOOOOT of bands

ye. mark has a very strong voice. tom is more... charismatic, but i've seen him do bad things live... but he was great when i saw them. they both were


I've got to say I like Mark's voice better. There's something more believable and heartfelt to it.

Depends on the song really. Tom's voice brought some sense of individuality to the band and enhanced some of their "funner" songs.

While Mark's felt more sincere. If he sang about something heartfelt it didn't feel like it was coming from a 14 year old either which helped.

In the end I don't know what to think about Blink 182's return. I think their day in the sun is over and unless they're only in this for one hoorah it could get very embarrasing.

Spot on re. Mark's voice Pete. I also think it'll be more suited to their new album, which I reckon is a near certainty of being more in the +44 mould. His voice was perfect for that album, I thought.

I respect the opinions on Mark's voice. Probably more pure. But for me a little boring..

Think from memory Tom sung 1 or 2 in the first album. I think Adam's song was one?

Then in the next album he sang quite a few more and I really enjoyed the band's music much more. Sort of raspy. For me it suits the music genre better. Really liked the song with the cure - All of this..

Singing lead must have played a big part in the break up as they created their new bands. Each to their own though

for one, enema wasnt their first. second, mark sung adams song. tom sung all the small things. and on most albums they gererally split the singing duties down the middle
