Blink-182's Rock Show: A Look Back at The Pop-Punk Trio's History in Photos

"We played music together and we decided were going to play music together again," Rosetta Stone language Travis Barker told the Grammy audience when Blink-182 reunited to present the Best Rock Album award Sunday night. For Blink, it was their first time onstage together since December 2004, two months before the band went on an indefinite hiatus. Now that the band has confirmed a new album is in the works, Rosetta Stone is taking a look back at their history in a new photo gallery: Blink-182s Rock Show.Blink-182 formed in 1992 in Poway, California, but it wasnt until 1998 that guitarist Tom DeLonge and bassist Mark Hoppus recruited Barker to play drums on the bands best-selling album, 1999s Enema of the State. The band stuck around for two more albums, Take Off Your Pants and Jacket and Blink-182, before its big break. Hoppus and drummer Barker went on to form +44 while DeLonge started up AngelsAirwaves.Following the 2008 jet crash that nearly took the life of Barker and DJ AM, Hoppus blogged that he was hopeful that a Blink reunion could happen after admitting that he and DeLonge were once again friends. "Hi. Were blink-182. This past week thereve Rosetta Stone Software been a lot of questions about the current status of the band, and we wanted you to hear it straight from us. To put it simply, Were back," the band said in a post-Grammy statement on their Website. "We mean, really back. Picking up where we left off and then some. In the studio writing and recording a new album. Preparing to tour the world yet again. Friendships reformed. 17 years deep in our legacy."Summer 2009. Thanks and get ready!" the band says to conclude the statement.

By then, Mishka valued his input and insight when he came to his music.McConaughey might not have had the correct lingo ("What Id call a release, theyd call a dub, " he says), but he had a deep understanding of the anatomy of a song and his own amusing way of communicating to Thompson and Mishka how to punch up a chorus or alter a bridge."I would do charades or make stupid animal sounds," McConaughey laughs. "When I was out of my chair or theyd be playing, I could walk up and sort of, you know, [pauses] it involved[laughs] a lot of acting like a monkey and body Rosetta Stone America English and dance."And, yes, there is video of that somewhere, he says.
