Guess who the Jonas Brothers cite as their biggest musical influence???
Nope, it's not 98 Degrees. Or LFO. Or those O-Town lame-o's.
It's Blink-182!!! I'm sure Travis, Mark and Tom are stoked. Here's the Jonas Bros on their idols:
“Musically, I was definitely into blink.”
“Travis Barker is one of the greatest drummers ever, and all the guys in blink are really good songwriters. I grew up listening to their music, and they definitely played a part in the (sound of) early Jonas Brothers.”
But don't let these wild party animals them fool you! The Jonas guys aren't going to get into trouble and be all crazy like those other guys:
“I didn't pay much attention to blink's behavior. I was just listening to the music.”
Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus and Tom Delong of Blink-182 are hanging out together for the first time in three years. Mark took to his blog to say that the plane crash which almost took Travis' life has reunited the three former friends.
Stoked!!
Here's what Mark has to say:
"in the midst of everything else that has happened lately, tom, travis, and i have all spoken together. first through a number of phone calls, and then a couple of weeks ago we all hung out for a few hours. they’ve all been great, very positive conversations. we’re just reconnecting as friends after four years of not talking. it’s a good thing. obviously the first question for a lot of people will be “does this mean a blink-182 reunion?” the answer is none of us know. we haven’t talked about it at all. right now it’s just good for the three of us to see one another, reconnect, and let the past be the past. the events of the past two months supersede everything that happened before. life is too short."
Life is too short. Their other bands are good. But, shit!!
