BLINK-179 is "OFF THE HOOK" - Here are some comments we've gotten from the fan club headquarters site at AOL:

Hey blink179 - I really had a great time at the dig y'all did @ my crib omfg you guys are loud you might remember me I was the girl with the red shirt and u looked at me during the last song do you have a gf write back cya! :O)

Blink-179 is an up and coming new alternative punkpop bank with a serious problem. Tomorrow begins their world tour, but their lead guitarist, Eddie "Razorbutt" Nelson has left the band to join Destiny's Child. Without a lead guitarist, there'll be no tour, and without a tour, the band will lose the fame they've worked so hard to achieve. The choice is clear. It's time for open auditions. Announcements were placed in every local newspaper. A room was reserved at the local college. Now all they have to do is listen to all of the guitarists who responded to the ad, and make a difficult selection from what is sure to be dozens of qualified professionals.

Shut Up and Play Your Guitar is a comedy horde-style game. The band members will play the same parts throughout, while the horde members will play the assorted freaks and weirdos who show up at the audition.
