BLINK-182 - Greatest Hits

With 13 straight & to the point songs of predominantly silly video proportions clock in at about 40 minutes. Dammit (Growing Up) is an early video of the guys at a movie theatre with the classic ex-girlfriend set-up. Josie is another school scenario featuring Alysa Milano. It these beginning stages bassist Mark did most of the singing and they had another drummer. The shared vocals became more commonplace thereafter. What's My Age Again is the classic streaking video (with blur blocks in strategic places), it also features porn goddess Janine Lindemulder (who appeared on their album cover). All The Small Things is their big hit with funny boyband music video cliché rip-offs. Adam's Song gets a warehouse rehearsal space style that zooms in on pictures on the wall). Man Overboard also involves performance clips as well as the band dreaming in the back of the van that they're midget - replicating bits from their past videos, streaking etc. For The Rock Show they open the video announcing they 're going to cash the cheaque for the video and use the money for the clip by going around giving it away, daring, wasting, buying & breaking stuff, throw the cash off rooftop, pay people to get stupid haircuts and more. Stay Together For The Kids handles a serious divorce issue and the video also avoids the usual silly antics. First Date is a '70s skit with hilarious wigs, fashion etc. Feeling This gets a school prison, teen riot set-up. I Miss You is a more stylized video for a more mature song. Down goes from an East LA house party to a cop car chase. Always gets a horizontal screen split in three; not to be watched when you're pissed. A fun band with some memorable tunes.
