Mark Hoppus on MTV's Made

This Saturday, I’ll be on the MTV show “Made,” giving someone tips on playing the bass for their band’s upcoming battle of the bands competition. Given the fact that I taught myself how to play the instrument, and have terrible technique, I’m not sure that I helped the situation any, and if for some reason their band loses, the blame can be placed squarely on my shoulders. Anyway, tune in to cheer them on and watch the triumph or defeat.

I hope a recording of the episode will show up somewhere on the internet.Should be fun to see Mark cracking some jokes.

more +44?

Mark posted a new video of himself recording guitar and base on pickRset.

+44 finally recording a new record?

Mark Hoppus posted two new things on his blog.The first one is a picture and the blog entry is "studio recording".


And secondly he posted a video of him recording a guitar(!) riff.He doesn't mention if it's just for another record he's producing or whatever i guess he knows that everyone would assume that it is for the new +44 record.I was surprised to see him play guitar in the studio.I've never seen him play guitar except for fun when he changed the instruments with Tom at some Blink 182 show.But I wonder where Travis,Craig and Shane are.Anyways I'm so stoked to see that finally +44 seem to start recording.I love this band so much.Here's what Mark wrote on his blog and the video.Oh and by the way I think the guitar is dope.

so yeah, here i am recording some pretty shredding guitar parts for this here bridge of that there song. i look like an idiot. BUT, in a day this song went from being a rough demo to having verse and bridge guitars doubled, chorus guitars tripled, and bridge leads doubled. tomorrow is bass…
