LPFreak64 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 (edited) I just saw this on Tom DeLonge's Twitter: "Picking up some friends in Linkin Park at the airport... They flew in to say hi... On a helicopter..." Could this be a sign of things to come?

ChuckCheese Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Huh. Pretty cool. Can't assume that it means they'll be working together, maybe they wanted to check out what Blink is working on.

Yea, now that I think about it, isn't Chester working with Travis on some of his solo stuff? He might be going to check some of it out.

Adam Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Man I used the be the biggest Blink fan when I was 15. This would be amazing.

JZLP-Benningstrong Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 If blink was on the next PR that would be amazing.

gtrnowak4tkd Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 (edited) blink wouldnt open for LP for another year at the least because Blink is going on a European tour this summer. but if they did it would be amazing. but it probably is just about Chester working with Travis. but maybe Travis decided to do a remix of one of their songs Edited March 6, 2010 by gtrnowak4tkd Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/3786-lpblink-182-collaboration/#findComment-58917 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladygaga Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 blink used to be big in 2001/2003, after that they declined with the hiatus and the return they don't have a new album so, they can open some pr show and i don't like them anymore, their songs are made to teenagers until 15 years old Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/3786-lpblink-182-collaboration/#findComment-58918 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geki Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Korn was like the father of the nu metal and they opened for LP Blink is not that big, they can open for LP, plus they are friends, would be insane. I'm not even a fan of Blink at all and I agree that Blink is a much bigger band than Korn is. I think it would be pretty cool if Blink opened for LP, but maybe on an arena tour or something, I don't think they fit well on PR.

They would've been a perfect fit for PR04 lol most of the CD sampler sounds just like one of their Dragging the Lake compilations.

gtrnowak4tkd Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 now the question is who's bigger? LP or blink? Thats actually a really tough question.....i think they are about equal now. You have to look at the Audiences. Both Blink and LP got big basically about the same time. and both bands reached to the same age range......the teenagers of that time. They did appeal to different audiences though. Blink appealed to the audiences that looked for pop/music. the music that spoke to the generation.....granted alot of their songs are about the same things and relatively simple they still had an impact on music. I think alot more girls followed blink but alot of guys did too. Now LP they WERE a completely different genre. they encompassed the heavy side of rock with LA hip-hop mixed in. They had a larger appeal to the older teenage audience. Their music was really ground-breaking. It brought people who loved Hard Rock and people who loved Hip-Hop and rap together as one fan group. recently though i can see how both blink and LP are becoming similar styles. look at blink's self-titled album it has alot of hip-hop influences in there. and MTM has alot of pop influences with some punk too. So to whose bigger i would LP. because they have the old fan-base but then they are gaining newer fans with each album. Blink could open up for LP. or vice versa. but Blink would not be that good on a PR tour. maybe if they did a festival tour together. or an arena tour.

Aiman Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) I still think that Korn is bigger than Blink now the question is who's bigger? LP or blink? this is a lp forum so.. lol Korn may seem big to you because of the type of music you (and possibly your friends) listen to, but they're not that big, really. LP and blink are too close to tell, really. It's not even worth trying to find out which is bigger lol them and Green Day for that matter. I will say that LP has a much bigger online community though. Well bigger than blink, Green Day's is just as big as LP's [/random] Edited March 7, 2010 by Aiman Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/3786-lpblink-182-collaboration/#findComment-58986 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pez Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I actually had this discussion years ago when i was with a chick that was a big blink fan. I did a poll and it was pretty lob-sided to LP but then again, alot of people i know are LP fans. For some reason i don't think they suit well. Like blink is very punkish style. And you might get more people to see Blink then LP. but i think they would be a good support. Id prefer them over some of the other bands they had support them (I only liked Chris Cornell because of his Audioslave stuff. Thats was gold) Quote Link to comment https://lplive.net/forums/topic/3786-lpblink-182-collaboration/#findComment-59197 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rav0k Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Korn may seem big to you because of the type of music you (and possibly your friends) listen to, but they're not that big, really. Not sure how accurate this is, but RIAA states the following: Linkin Park: 19 million certified units in sales. Korn: 16.5 million certified units in sales. and well...I don't see Blink 182 on the list. Correct me if I am wrong. Bottom line is, they are all pretty well known. You mention Linkin Park, Blink 182 or Korn, you can bet that everyone has heard of them.
