Ex-Blink 182 members Travis Barker (drums) and Mark Hoppus (vocals) formed a new band called Plus 44 (or + 44). Two new members Craig and Shane both on guitar talked to Toazted about their first album "When Your Heart Stops Beating". The guys had never played in Holland before and felt really honoured to be here. Check out this interview on video recorded in the basement of the Paradiso in Amsterdam.

Bassist Mark Hoppus talks about the band's huge success, the grueling tour schedules and their hilarious videos.

"The only person that didn't think ours was funny was Christina Aguilera. She thought it was insulting. But pop music is so popular these days, that you need to make fun of it sometimes."

This is probably the only Toazted interview where we've had to ask the artist not to fart on the microphone but by the end we had the guys talking seriously about Kurt Cobain and the Beatles.

"Everybody sounds like the Beatles in some way, I mean they pretty much did everything. They did every chord progression and experimented with every type of music and it can range from everything heavy metal to rap to punk to alternative to grunge."

During the Lowlands Festival in 2004 Toazted had the chance to interview Offspring guitarist Noodles. We asked him about the girl who won their One Million Dollar Prize, the bands he listened to as a kid, and the new Offspring album 'Splinter'.

"The key to making great rock n roll is to take three chords and make 'em sound new... and that's not an easy task."
