I gotta tell ya. YOU the MAN!!! I had the great Rock n Roll Swindle too. Shure do miss my old records.\n\nAnd as for the Buzzcocks... After Shrek II I had to go out and get the old LP transfered to CD.\nNow I listen to Ever Fallen In Love and Fast Cars and Breakdown whenever I want with all the vintage pops and cracks... Nothing better!\n\nThe Pimsouls, about all DK, (Even Frankenchrist) My big brother still has the original penis landscape poster in his garage...\nBlack flag, DRI, USA (Uncle Sam's A$$), MDC, Man the memories are flooding back... Time to hit the old turn table for some Naked Ray Gun... Feed us Featus.\n\nHere is some advice... Go find SLC Punk (the movie) and watch the credits... I think there is a part where they even go to the original Cosmic Aeroplane...\n\nSlam away my man! Killer question!!!

In February 2005, however, popular as ever and seemingly indestructible, blink-182 unexpectedly announced they would be going on an "indefinite hiatus," supposedly to spend more time with their growing families. Asking fans for help in selecting tracks, the group issued Greatest Hits that November. Bandmembers also continued on with other projects: Barker -- who had previously released an album with DeLonge as Boxcar Racer -- continued playing with the Transplants and running his clothing company, Famous Stars and Straps. His family was also spotlighted in the MTV reality show Meet the Barkers. Hoppus carried on with his Atticus fashion venture, began producing -- starting with Motion City Soundtrack's Commit This to Memory -- and hosting his own podcasts. He further began work with Barker in a new band, Plus 44. DeLonge also continued work with his lifestyle clothing company, Macbeth, and formally announced his new project, Angels and Airwaves, that fall. ~ John Bush & Corey Apar, All Music Guide

Roy Orbison turned down a chance to manage The Beatles.\n\n****************\n\nIn answer to your e-mail:\n\nAbsolutely. It's a well known story. They were on the same bill in England in 1964 or 65. Orbison headlined and the up and coming Beatles talked him into letting them play the final set since he was already getting top billing. Roy easily agreed to let them go .\n\nUnfortunately (For the Beatles), the British crowd - like virtually all Brittons, just ADORED Roy. The crowd demanded - and GOT - something like 20 (TWENTY!) encores and curtain calls from Roy. Finally, John Lennon and Paul McCartney came onstage, took Roy by the arms and laughingly yelled "YANKEE GO HOME!" and ushered him off stage.\n\nThere was always a close friendship between them after that, which is how Roy was offered the job as their manager just at their worldwide popularity was cresting. This is also how he and George Harrison would up with the Traveling Wilburys decades later.\n\nYou can ask or find out more over at www.orbison.com. They have a pretty fair forum over there. I shy away from it however, as I don't like what Barbara Orbison has done in marketing him commercially in praise of the Almighty Buck vs. promoting the man and his talents.\n\nHope this helps.\n\nP.S. Incidentally. If you're not familiar with LARRY BRANSON, it might be worth your while to check him out. He's an Orbison impersonator who starred in the British stage show The Roy Orbison Story. (The CD is still available and not bad.) Branson's voice was fair to middlin' and the CD was well done overall. The BIG SHOCK is that about seven years ago, Branson released an album of his own. Now I've been an Orbison fan for 40 years and I'll tell you in no uncertain terms: Branson SOUNDED EXACTLY LIKE ROY AT HIS VERY BEST! EVERY note and inflection was PURE CLASSIC ROY! Absolutely UNBELIEVEABLE!!! To my knowlege, Branson has released absolutely nothing since and I suspect that Barbara Orbison is probably behind that.

Tom quit the band in Feburary 2005. He changed his number so Mark and Travis don't even know it anymore. It wasn't a good split.  They're done.  \n\nTom formed "Angels And Airwaves" and Mark and Travis formed "+44".

I heard they were retiring completely along with Matchbox Twenty,my other favorite band.

Unfortunatly the loss of a great R&B singer was overshadowed by the divorce of Bitney and Kevin. I heard about it on the news at like 11pm, but that's it. Even BET hasn't covered it, which is weird. I guess if it's not loud and ghetto, they don't care about it. I send my prayers out to his fam and friends...

I went to Yahoo search, and typed in Lynyrd Skynyrd plane crash photos. I found many hits, but it would probably be better if you took a look for yourself. It's a hard subject for me, because they were my alltime favorite band growing up. Don't get me wrong, since they got the band going again, they ROCK, but the plane crash still burns in my heart!

yep!  They had a bit of a hiatus, but they're American Idiot album had several great songs!  Not too many bands that can start off as big as they did, disappear, and then come back with even more success!

This Q was asked about a month ago on here.  :)  The last I heard, he went a little crazy and checked himself into a hospital or something.  That could totally be a rumor though.  I checked out his website, and it doesn't look like it's been updated since "Now" was released.  Hopefully he's just gone away long enough to come up with a killer new album.  :D

The only thing I can think of is Further Seems Forever.  Chris Carrabba used to be in that band.  When he left they got a new singer, then he left and they got a new singer, then they broke up for good.

Unfortunately not. I reckon in about 10 years time, when they're all broke, they'll do a reunion but don't know if it happen any time soon. I really miss them all!

if your going to ask that, u should ask what happened to the band 2, i know that they were dismantled by diddy, but come on, whats really going on

no I'm not MAD at them. I would rather a band who play together who are happy and get along with each other. and not miserable and fighting all the time like they were. because they are no longer doing what they love...and the music quality will suffer. Blink broke up because Tom created boxcar racer with travis and mark felt that as a betrayal and therefore caused tension in the group. so they disbanded. and tom created angels and airwaves and tom and travis did +44 (which are awesome btw) so no I'm not mad....I'm happy they aren't miserable together anymore and are happy in their new bands still doing what they love.
