. The album - their third, and the first to feature drummer Travis Barker - was released in 1999 and spawned the hits All The Small Things and What's My Age Again? DeLonge tells Wondering Sound: "I remember I sat down in the label president's office. I have a sideways hat, I have nose rings in and sh*t, and he goes, 'I'm gonna tell you three things. You are going to make more money than you ever thought you could make. You are going to be more famous than you ever thought possible. And you're gonna be playing arenas by fall.' "And I sat there and I looked at him and I literally laughed out loud. I was like, 'You're f***ing nuts. You're f***ing high.' If you would've told me a green Santa Claus was marching down the street with a UFO for a hat I would've believed that first. "And all three of those things happened. That's one of the most amazing moments of my life, looking back at that specific conversation." Before that discussion, Blink had grown frustrated at the label's lack of belief in them. DeLonge says Enema took everyone by surprise. Read more here. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
