Greatest Hits (blink-182 album)

Encyclopedia : G : GR : GRE : Greatest Hits (blink-182 album)

Greatest Hits was the only compilation album by blink-182, released on November 1, 2005 (see 2005 in music). On the same day, the DVD was released featuring the same title and cover. It included most of the band's music videos. Interestingly "Carousel" was not on the original track list released for the album but after many complaints by the fans ("Carousel" arguably being a well known song) it was included.

Fans are known to have complained about the DVD footaage, as all of it was included on previous releases - The live footage off 'The Urethra Chronicles II', and the behind the scenes footage was included on the first 3 singles from the Untitled album. The reason for the complaints, is that the people who would have bought the version that included the DVD for the footage would have already had the footage anyways, due it's already being released.

\"Not Now\"

A similar music video was made for Another Girl, Another Planet, and though it never had an official single you could buy off of amazon for example. It is the second single for the greatest hits album. The video was shown frequently on Kerrang, if you would wish to see it, the only online site that hosts it is punkdisasters.com.

Hoppus said that "Not Now" was written and mostly recorded during the summer of 2001, and it was something left over and could not fit it into an album, therefore, when the Greatest Hits was announced, that song would be a good fit, along with a single a couple years before it.
