Today The World Became A Lot Less Musical
one of my best friends passed away today. jerry finn was one of the most talented, funniest, coolest, smartest, and honest people i’ve ever known. he was true in every sense of the word. true in his love of music, true in his friendships. jerry loved life. he was happiest when quietly making music he loved, and loudly making fun of everything he didn’t. when i think of times spent with jerry, all i can think of is us laughing. so much laughter. he’s just one of those guys with the quickest wit in the room. he also knows more about music than anyone. and i mean that seriously. he knows musicians, instruments, amplifiers, recording equipment, engineers, producers, albums, and studios like some people know sports statistics. jerry could tell you who played what instrument on which track of pretty much any album you could name, and then go on to tell you who produced it, who engineered it, in what room of which studio, and so on. it’s really kind of amazing. he worked on many of my favorite albums of all time, and helped shape the sound and direction of blink-182 from enema of the state all the way through to the end and into +44. he was into family guy, south park, and mr show before anyone else had even heard of those shows. and when my son was born, while everyone else was sending us baby blankets and teddy bears, jerry and his girlfriend gave him a tiny extra small black leather jacket covered in metal studs and ramones pins.
i’m sitting here now and i don’t even know what to type. i’m at a loss for words. nothing i can say will come close to describing what an amazing human being jerry was. his talent, his laughter, his love of life. every day i spent with jerry over the past ten years i feel like he taught me something new about music, or recording. or life. i think everyone who knew jerry would say the same thing. i feel blessed to have worked with and learned so much from him. but most of all i am honored to call him my dear friend. jerry, i miss you already.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:24 pm
R.I.P Jerry u were one rad dude…we will all miss you.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:28 pm
Well said. Jerry Finn produced most of my favorite records; I always admired his skill and envied his resume of talent. My heart goes out to the Finn family.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:31 pm

August 21st, 2008 at 12:34 pm
I’m truly sorry for your loss. The death of a close friend is never an easy thing to deal with. Best of luck to you and Jerry’s family getting through this difficult time.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:36 pm
First. There were rumors he was dead before and that he was still alive, but this is straight from the horse’s mouth. RIP Jerry. He was amazing.
August 21st, 2008 at 12:47 pm

August 21st, 2008 at 1:16 pm
first comment.. =\
R.I.P Jerry Finn
hope you feel better Mark.
he’s in a better place now.
August 21st, 2008 at 1:20 pm
Ahhhhhhh.
Jerry Finn was like the man! Wait no, he wasn’t “like the man,” he was the man. Of course I never knew Jerry, but I always looked up to him as an awesome producer. He produced a lot of great albums for a lot of great bands. Wow, reading this really got to me. I remember hearing about something that happened to him in July. I’m pretty sure it was a brain hemorrhage. Anyway, I’m really, really sorry Mark. May Jerry Finn rest in peace.
August 21st, 2008 at 1:21 pm
mark,
i can only imagine what you’re going through right now. but after watching all the old blink recording sessions and just listening to your music, i can tell that he was a genuine and great person. and i say with confidence that all your fans will miss him too. i’ve lost a few friends too. what i do during these times is just reflect and take positivity from it, and keep it in my heart where ever i go. take care, mark!
August 21st, 2008 at 1:28 pm
Mark,
so sorry for the loss of your friend. I can’t imagine how you’re feeling right now, along with Jerry’s family. But you all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Rest in Peace Jerry Finn.

Hey Mark,
I’m sorry man. I’m 16, and am also in a band and lost one of my best friends a year ago. I can tell you, its not the greatest feeling in the world. But it sure does open your eyes in a new way, and makes you question things you never thought of questioning before. I just want to say, that I am sorry, and I hope that you get better man. Keep up the work that your doing! You make all of your fans, including me pretty proud!

I cant Believe that the world has lost such an amazing person.
Jerry Finn was a hero to me, someone who worked on my most favorite albums and always made them sound so amazing. This man totaly inspires me with the music i create and every album i listen to i always look out for diffrent things that says ‘jerry finn produced this’. He will be forever missed in the music world.
My respects go out to his family and friends at this hard time.
Rest In Peace Jerry Finn.
August 21st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
I gotta say- for not knowing what to really say, those words came out beautifully. Someone so musical is definitely a tragic loss and this is great little tribute.

August 21st, 2008 at 3:24 pm
omg, so sorry to hear that mark! he sounded like a great guy! he’s in good place now i’m sure! and he will forever look after you, and when the time comes you’s will be back together again. i’m going through a tough time at the moment, as well, my own father passed away recently, 17 years of my life just seem…gone now. life is so hard for me and my mum now hes gone, but he’s forever in our hearts, so he’s truly not gone, until we forget him, which we will never do and i’m sure its the same for you and jerry! aslongas you remember the good times you’s spent together, he will forever be alive. all the best mark, my thoughts go out to you and his family and friends (even though i don’t know them, and you don’t know who i’am, i’m just some person over the internet). keep your head up, and stay strong

this is the first time ive felt the need to comment. mark, this is probably the best way someone can give a friend a dedication/ alot of people dont realise that jerry has played a major part in the music they listen to. if it wasnt for jerry, i probably wouldnt listen to the music i listened to, due to his involvedment in may bands’ development and releases. god bless you jerry finn

August 21st, 2008 at 4:52 pm
I never leave any of these messages but i grew up listening to music jerry finn produced from blink and rancid to green day and mxpx to afi and the offspring to name a few!!!!! A great loss to punk and great music!!!!
August 21st, 2008 at 4:53 pm
Jerry’s ability as a producer to keep the sound of Blink 182 resonating right through their discography while keeping the band sounding new and fresh was incredible. To be able to work with a band so diverse and spontaneous and get the results he did was outstanding, and then for him to take the reins of Boxcar Racer and +44 and make them sound so different, yet retaining echos of their father band, shows the immense talent of the guy.
I didn’t know him personally, I wish I had, but his awesome contribution the music industry built me a towering respect for him.
Jerry will live on, both in the hearts of those closest to him, and in the ears of all those who are lucky enough to have heard his work.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Im so sorry Mark for the loss of your friend. Im sure Travis and Tom feel as distraught as you cos he sounds like a really great guy. I pray for his family and friends
August 21st, 2008 at 4:56 pm
I didn’t know the guy personally, and I even cried when I heard about this. He produced more than half the bands I listen to today. It really sucks. The world, the music industry, just lost one of it’s best. R.I.P. Jerry Finn<3
August 21st, 2008 at 4:57 pm
I realize I didn’t know him directly, but I know of him. I’m so sorry. He was a fighter though, and I’m sure he’s happy now not laying in a hospital. Again though I am so sorry, he was one truly amazing man. May he live on through his loved ones and friends.
Much love.
August 21st, 2008 at 4:59 pm
wow mark, im sorry man….
idk what to say, i didnt know him but i still feel sad its like another part of blink just died.
i am really sorry….

August 21st, 2008 at 6:24 pm
this was a very tragic loss, he worked with so many of my favorite bands and it’s hard to have him pass away at such an unexpected time…he was in my prayers when i heard about his status in a coma…and I wish he could’ve pulled through….god bless jerry finn and may he rest in peace…
August 21st, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Go with God Jerry
August 21st, 2008 at 6:37 pm
It’s tough Mark, I know it is. I cried, I really did. All the bands I ever grew up on he produced for, now I sit here and say who’s going to continue his work?
August 21st, 2008 at 6:38 pm
This is such sad news. Any time I saw his name on a record I was extremely excited to have a listen. From what I’ve pieced together through various stories, he was a great guy and lived an awesome life. I’m saddened by his passing, even if I never knew him personally. My condolences to all those who loved him.
August 21st, 2008 at 6:39 pm
Oh my god. I am so sorry.
August 21st, 2008 at 6:53 pm

I’m rreaal sorry about your loss mark
August 21st, 2008 at 7:24 pm
Mark,
I have never respected you as much as i do now, and i have always had a huge amount of respect for you. I’m sure what you just wrote means so much to him, and I’m sure he read this and remembered everything you guys went through. I am so glad you wrote this and i know you truly mean it. And I’m sure if you dedicated a song to him and show him what he showed/taught you about recording, playing, and producing, he would be blessed and would be satisfied knowing he lived his life to the fullest and that his life would continue in yours and countless other band’s music.
Thanks.
August 21st, 2008 at 7:34 pm

RIP Jerry Finn,
Very well put Mark. The world did indeed just become a lot less musical. truer words have not been said. Condolences to his family and friends.
August 21st, 2008 at 11:29 pm
just read up that he passed away because of cerebral hemorrhage
. wow what an amazing producer. he helped evolve the pop rock/punk-pop scene to what it is now. i mean producing albums for bands like AFI, Bad Religion, Blink-182, Alkaline Trio Rancid, Green Day, Sum 41, The Offspring means that he influenced the music of the most influential mainstream bands.
mark, why not (try to) express your feelings and love for jerry in your new album as a tribute to his life. OR maybe record a tribute album with guys from other bands like green day, sum41 etc kind of like what you did with the smashing pumpkins tribute.
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:49 am
My heart goes out to his family.
May he rest in peace knowing he will be missed.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:17 am

August 22nd, 2008 at 7:27 am
I know how it feels to lose one of your best friends. It happend to me for about a year ago. Just keep reminding yourself about all the good times with jerry, and may he rest in peace.

August 22nd, 2008 at 7:50 am
What an amazing tribute for an amazing man. It’s obvious how deeply you miss your brilliant friend and how much you loved and respected him. It is shocking and tragic that he is gone.

August 22nd, 2008 at 8:55 am
rest in peace jerry…
im so sorry for your loss mark.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:08 am
I already typed a comment, but I’m going to type another one.
It’s the next day now, and I’m still in a state of shock as probably a lot of people are. I keep reading this blog entry over and over again and it still gets to me every single time. This was such an unfortunate tragedy to come upon such a great man and such an amazing friend to you. I find no doubt in thinking that he’s up there right now in Rock N’ Roll Heaven producing for Elvis Presley and Buddy Holly. His love of music will definitely continue.
God bless his family. God bless his friends. God bless Jerry Finn. Rest in peace.
August 22nd, 2008 at 9:41 am
i’m sorry for your loss Mark, rest in peace Jerry.

As NFG say
When you loose someone you love it takes a while to let go.
Take care Marky!
August 22nd, 2008 at 10:29 am

RIP Jerry. Never even knew he was the shaper of some of the Blink stuff, none the less +44.
Mark, that stupid Blink-182 book kid on myspace is running his mouth again, especially about Jerry. Thats just DISRESPECTFUL!
Some people right?
Have a great day, My condolences to you, Tom, Travis, Jerry’s Family, and anyone who Really misses him. I wish I was on your level, I know how it feels to loose someone!
Be strong Mark!!
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:22 am
Mark I’m sorry.
Rest in peace jerry. God bless you and all of you’ve done.
I will pray for jerry’s family and you. I give you guys much love as you cope with such a difficult loss.
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:36 am
sh*t this is a really bad notice to me..
I’m learning how towork with pro tools & cubase
and everytime I reed his name in blink-182 cd’s
I feel like “i know who I want to be now”
I’ll miss him a lot.. I followed alll his works and
I wish to be like him someday
rest in peace Jerry Finn…
August 22nd, 2008 at 11:50 am
sorry, mark! just sorry!
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:01 pm
mark, i’m so sorry to hear that, i know that you guys were really good friends, and i feel so bad that this has happened to you, because you really dont deserve this. i wish i could be there to comfort you during this hard time, and i’m sure we all feel this way when someone passes, but i hope you can recover this sadness soon, i love you mark and it’ll be okay. your fans are always here for you, and thats a promise. we all love you so much and Jerry will sure be missed but now we can all take the impact he had on us to make our lives a little better.
August 22nd, 2008 at 12:27 pm
what a sad thing to hear. although i didn’t know him, he seemed like an amazing person while seeing him in blink videos in the studio. it’s sad to see someone with so much talent go. i can see a song written about him, mark! you should, and blink should play a show for remembering him. but anyway, send his family the worlds sorrow.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:03 pm
Rip Jerry.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:24 pm
im so sorry mark… i know how it feels when someone “left” us, its like the missing piece of the puzzle… i dont really know if theres heaven, but if does, he is probably there. im sure he is. i feeling like i wanna hug you, or something, the same thing that i felt 3 years latter… but the only thing that i can do is send this to you, just words of comfort… we are with you mark! never foget this.
i love you, and hope you get better really soon.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:29 pm

truely sorry to hear of your loss. he sounded like a really great guy. i’m sure the pain you’re feeling will eventually fade with time, although the memories of yourself and Jerry will never be forgotten. stay strong. Rest In Peace, Jerry.
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:55 pm
hey mark i too have lost someone very close to me in past and the only thing that could help me was music. i listen to and memorized every single blink-182 song ever released. I feel like jerry was one of you guys. and i think that you should name your next album in his honor. He would probobly love to see what you have written about him and not want you to grieve over his death. good luck and god speed If there is a funeral tell him there are so many people that are mourning over his death that he cannot even fathom the love and admiration he has. oh and
p.s. if tom’s there tell him i love you, from you everyone like to hear that somebody loves them, regardless
August 22nd, 2008 at 1:56 pm
rip jerry finn. thank you for all the great music you have given to us.
August 22nd, 2008 at 3:03 pm

you helped make so much good music and your boots
will be impossible to fill.

August 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Jerry inspired me to be an audio engineer/producer, I remember when i was younger, I was going through my CD collection and realising he worked on most of it… what a legend.
RIP… 38 was way too young to go.
August 22nd, 2008 at 4:44 pm
I’m in school for audio production & engineering because of him. I’ve always loved the albums he’s worked on…such a huge inspiration to me. Sorry to hear about this though. God bless.

August 22nd, 2008 at 8:08 pm
man jerry was such an amazing producer
im reading tales from beneath your mom and there’s a part talking about Jerry Finn, saying how great he was. and in urethra chronicles, he was like the fourth member of blink 182 i remember. he was amazing at his job. he did great things,
rest in peace jerry, rest in peace.
take care mark.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:23 pm
Thank you so much for that wonderful tribute to Jerry.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:51 pm
I am so sorry. I know that it’s hard when someone close to you dies – it’s hard to get through. But what’s important is that you keep in mind all the good times you’ve had with him – try to push away all the sadness and celebrate the life he had. I know it will take a while before you can think about Jerry without feeling sad, and I’m not saying that you shouldn’t – it really was sad for him to go, and so young too. But the only thing anyone can do is keep moving foward and look at Jerry’s life as something beautiful, using all of the impacts he has had on your life and taking it with you through your own, remembering what a great guy he was all the while. Again, I am very sorry to hear of your loss and am wishing you, as well as all of Jerry’s close family and friends, the strength to get through these hard times.
August 22nd, 2008 at 8:57 pm
Mark, I’m truly very sorry. I, too, just lost someone very close to me recently..
My grandma passed away tuesday night. It’s been a very hard time for all of my family.
So I definitely know what you are going through.
We will all miss Jerry very much.
Rest In Peace, Jerry.
I will keep you in my prayers.

you said you were at a loss for words but I think everyone would agree with me when I say that was a touching and beautiully written tribute to your friend Jerry. from what I’ve heard from you over the years he sounded like a great guy. I’m sorry mark that you and his family and everyone that ever knew him had to lose him so early in his life.
I hope you’re getting lots of hugs xoxo
August 23rd, 2008 at 12:45 am
Wow right now, i kinda feel like my 50 favourite albums lost sense… that sucks he died, i’m sure he still had so much to accomplish in this world… This ain’t nothing else but a shame.

August 23rd, 2008 at 8:21 am
Sorry mark… The first time I saw jerry was on the mtv album launch… Travis said something like, “Jerry helps us with records like a parent helps a kid building stuff, he points you in the right direction and the steps if you get lost.” He’ll always be around through his music thats still here.

but he was born as a human, and died as a super-hero to the music world…
may he rest in peace…

Hey Mark, cheer up!!! Jerry still lives in every laugh yours. Jerry needs time to breathe and walk over the stars. He isn’t gone, just his time is gone as ours will. There’s a dream between every reality, a reality that make our smiles fade sometimes.

August 24th, 2008 at 8:41 am
That is a really horrible story and I feel your pain mark. On a brighter side though it sounded like jerry had a great life and had fun all the time and had no regrets. It’s weird how I didnt even know jerry but his death inspires me to live my life happier and fuller with fun and laughter. I think we should all go through life the same way jerry did. He sounded like a great guy. RIP Jerry Finn.

I heard about Jerry at Reading festival. Tiger Army and Alkaline Trio both dedicated songs to him.
For me too, he’s produced some of my all time favorite albums, and I always wanted my band to become famous and be able to record with Jerry Finn.
Stay strong Mark, and try to celebrate his life rather than mourn his death.

Knowing this man helped put it together makes me wish i knew him better. Im sorry for the loss of a good friend Mark hang in there

wow.
im sure that you don’t read all the comments that the fans write but man.. we truly feel for your loss and hope for the best. the three last blink-182 albums were big parts of my life and without mr.finn nothing would have come to be. don’t think of this as a sad time but as a celebration of life. i’m sure that mr.finn would be sad to see you sad mark.
from all the fans we wish you luck.

A little late, but rather late than never.
I’m sorry for your loss dude, and for his family.
It’s really good to hear someone speak in this way about someone.
I can’t even express my compassion for you with words
RIP Jerry

It’s so hard when we lose someone we just can’t replace, can’t go on the same way before knowing this person won’t be here anymore… most of all, i’m so sorry for you..
i’m sure jerry was everything you said here, and i’m sure you’re really blessed to have known jerry, and blessed to have now awesome memories of him.
man, we all fans are sorry for you and we all hope you get better.
loved hugs mark..

Jerry, you will definitely be missed. Rest in peace. <3
August 27th, 2008 at 5:12 pm
Whoa. That sucks pretty bad. i recognise is name, i guess because it was always somewhere on most of my favorite albums. The world has definatly became a lot less musical.
And sorry for you, too, mark. that must really suck for you

August 27th, 2008 at 7:15 pm
Goods words there mark, but I think someone said it the best when they said “A little death makes life more meaningful” and so it does.
At least he left a legacy, made an impact on the music industry that can never be replaced, removed or denied.

thanks for all the hope you have given to all the bands you helped out. Rest in Peace Buddy

R.I.P. Jerry, you where great! Life is sometimes just so unfair!
August 28th, 2008 at 12:23 pm
I’m sorry to here about the passing of your friend and as cliche as this may sound the pain that you feel now will seem like a distant memory in time.
When people in my life have passed away the words that have always got me though are “Would they like to see me this way?”.
And i focus on the best parts of what we spent together and the tears of sadness soon turn into tears of joy of the time that i spent with them.

ah..such a sad event… death is a part of life. we must cherish each moment we have with each other because you never know when it will be over. Life is a rollercoaster the moment we were brought into this world.. from the moment you took your first breath till the moment you take your last, it is a massive up-hill and down-hill ride. life is always going to through shit at you, thats inevitable, however, for each obstacle we encounter and we over come, we grow a little bit stronger each time. Live life as best you can.
Mark. I know there is nothing i can say to make you feel better. but i believe this may help a little.

Mark, I want to say how much I am sorry about Jerry. I didnt know till today, and I’m so sorry to hear about travis. You are my favorite musician of all time and I want to let you know that I’m praying for travis and I’m praying for you. You don’t know me but you changed my life.
September 21st, 2008 at 3:05 am
I just read this right now…a little late. I’m sorry, Mark. It’s obvious how much you love Jerry and his fam. I’ll always remember that video from the studio when Tom was annoying Jerry and he was like “Mr. Finnnnnn….Mr. Finnnnn, Mr. Jerry Finnnnnnn! Could you please come here?!”
Just always remember his laughter and the jokes you guys had between the 2 of you. That helps a lot. Remember the times you laughed, forget everything else that may have happened. That’s what I try to do. I know you’ve had enough laughter to last a lifetime.
September 25th, 2008 at 7:52 pm
Oh cr*p.. I read this a little bit late..
Mark, I’m so so sorry about Jerry and Travis. I know that is a huge lost for you, but now is time to remember him with joy and happiness and as a great man he was..
We’ll miss him a lot. Rest in peace Jerry.

Went to H.S. with Jerry. We skated, traded punk albums, etc… Lost track after I went off to school. He was a good guy who happened to make some of the most awesome albums ever. RIP

Beautiful words about a beautiful person! Jerry Finn was an important person behind many of my favorite records. As you described him, Mark, it sounds like he was a person who knew very very much about music and was a very very good friend, a perfect combination! He will be missed and will never be forgotten! All my respect and thoughts goes out to his family and friends!

I am the drummer of Ill Repute. For those who don’t know, Jerry’s first production was Ill Repute’s “Big Rusty Balls”. During those years that we worked on the demo, and eventually the album, Jerry and I were inseparable. I can’t count the numerous road trips, dinners, and just plain music conversations that Jerry and I had. He was a musical inspiration. I had lost touch with him during his more successful years as a producer – but I always remembered the great fun we had, and I always wanted to get back in touch with him. My favorite quote from Jerry, after we saw this horrible band in L.A., “I can’t believe I wasted my hearing on them!”. He was a great guy – and although I’ve always missed him, I guess all I can do now is pray that I will see him again some day. Carl V

hey mark its me again!
i was reading this and it made me tear up a little.
i can imagine what it feels like to lose an amazing friend. reading this makes me know that everyone is human, and we all have the same thoughts on life, way to many people think rock stars have it made, when they face problems just like ordinary people everyday. I will always pray for jerry as long as you don’t forget the true meaning of life. thanks for listing again.
r.i.P. Jerry & Blink 182
(i emphasize the P in peace)
Much love, Stephanie.

I had the pleasure of being a lowly intern at Conway while Jerry was working on +44 material. He was always great to speak to and hang out with in passing. He and the Assistant engineer had the guys over at +44’s studio pull a prank on me that I’ll never forget as long as I live. Basically after a lot of hassle I got back to the studio and there’s Jerry and his assistant laughing their asses off. Good times. Thank you for making my first experiences working in a professional studio the best time of my life. You will be greatly missed.
