Blink 182 fans are some of the most loyal fans ever. Case in point, the band went away for like four or five years and has come back with a new album, a new tour and fans have not missed a beat. They are still as crazy about this 90s rock outfit as they have ever been.

I guess I could see the appeal. Drummer Travis Barker has that whole bad boy appeal. With his myriad tattoos, he looks like he will get into anything with anyone at anytime. Mark Hoppus seems almost too nice to be a member of one of rock’s funniest – and craziest --- bans.

And singer/guitarist Tom DeLonge has apparently --- finally --- lightened up from his trademark seriousness. He seems more ready than ever to show Blink fans some good times.

Who can forget the roasting of boy bands everywhere in the “All The Small Things” video? The naked running in “What’s My Age Again?”

Even if their music hasn’t always been that great, Blink 182 has always been fairly entertaining.

This is probably why fans are so excited to see a comeback from this band. Now that everyone has had to time to learn how to Twitter, make reality TV shows and embark upon their personal career quests with other bands, they are ready to come back together and pick up where they left off as a wildly talented, witty and fun-loving rock band.

The group is touring for Summer 2009 with Fall Out Boy and Weezer, all great bands that put on an awesome live show. With such reputable opening acts, it’s safe to say that Blink 182 is indeed back and the scores of fans everywhere are showing their love, lining up to purchase tickets and support the bands new release effort.

Devotion like that is certainly no small thing and something that Blink 182 is sure to capitalize on as they attempt to re-conquer the music industry.
