‘Blink-182 neemt meer risico’s’

Het Amerikaanse poppunktrio Blink-182 zal, volgens zanger en gitarist Tom DeLonge, meer risico’s nemen op het volgende album. Bij het vorige en misschien wel minst succesvolle album Neighborhoods, brachten de heren het grootste deel van het opnameproces apart van elkaar door. Met dit album wil het drietal meer samen zijn en opnameproces moet meer worden zoals die van het self-titled album, dat in 2003 uitkwam. Check hieronder een fragment uit een recent interview.

But with Neighborhoods under their belt and nerves now cooled, Blink-182 are dropping the factory-line method for their next record.

“We were able to complete that and now we’re cool,” DeLonge said. “We can take the next step and really get back to risk-taking.”

“We didn’t go into that record with anything specific that we wanted to do other than take our time and do it the way we want to do it, to really see what would happen if we did it on our clock, in our world and really disappeared for a while and tried to reinvent the band,” DeLonge said. “After that we did the Neighborhoods record, and we didn’t do that [experiment together] – we weren’t even in the same studio aside for like three days. So this next record, what we’re gonna do is repeat that [the Blink-182 recording experience]. That’s why we wanted to bring back [Blink-182]. We’re about to embark on the exact same trip [as the self-titled record], so I think that’s exciting.”
