Blink 182 - Down (live on letterman)

[saifMSK]

travis had a little too much coffee that night

[do4mbumgdwqw]

the lead singer cant sing for shit.

[SilentWaFFLed]

the whole group got a little off there at the end

[fillecool2]

i dont get travis beat at 1:40

[EnemaOfYourEstate]

TOM: dude someone stuck a fork in my toaster backstage tf?

TRAVIS: wasn't me.

MARK: why the fuck are all of you staring at me?!?!

[marli4]

Please tell me how travis has never hit it head loool awesome drummer :)

[rickhxc]

@ 2:55 mark is like "wtf travis finish the song already"

[Bassist2295]

Why is travis wearing a shirt?! O.o

[lorenita18292]

you can see the tension.. they hated each other :(

[MattieeSkates]

@lorenita18292 no..

[HIMYNAMEISEVAN]

they look like they hated doing that.

[Nioax]

Travis only used a double kick pedal when he subbed for the Vandals back in 2000...and when he broke his right leg so he could keep up by using his left for touring. He's one of those Single Kick players.

[TheSepi1996]

i thought so because he never plays a double base, i think.

he's so fast!

the best!

[juscallmeTJ]

@TheSepi1996 lol indeed

[TheNk8Maniak]

Travis is AMAZING

[TheSepi1996]

is travis playing a double base there?

[juscallmeTJ]

@TheSepi1996 no. it looks like it tho cause he is alternating feet on the hi-hat and the bass drum. it also makes it sound like double bass sometimes too. watch them play "untitled" live and he does that really good at the end

[thejambo93]

@juscallmeTJ Actually, here he does play with a double bass pedal. You can see the slave pedal and the rod connecting them. Though I've no idea why he used it here, he shouldn't need it, what he's playing can be easily played with a single pedal.

[juscallmeTJ]

@thejambo93 i see that now. thats weird cause he never uses double. and usually his offbeat kick drum beats make it sound like doublebass. and like you said...this could be played with a single pedal. huh lol

[abyxjohnson]

@juscallmeTJ his right foot was broken. he has the double pedal but only playing the left one.

[zeroeffects88]

Pretty sure they hated each other at this point.

[do4mbumgdwqw]

@zeroeffects88 im pretty sure they didnt :)

[zeroeffects88]

@do4mbumgdwqw

I mean they broke up a few months later. That doesn't just happen out of the blue.

[TheSepi1996]

holy shit travis is the best!!

[Jordo1900]

People are such saps when they are watching this look at the top comment such a retard

[punkrockherodrummer]

37 people were blasted away from travis sick drum skills !!

[8gerrard8]

Lmao Mark looks bored but look at his hair wtf.

[farneymusik]

ive bin watching this video for years anyone that says this is a bad performance can suck balls

[lovelike182rockets]

why doesn't he say the "you did this" or "this can't be the end" before the choruses?

[RitzDaCracker1]

marks hair is fuckin rediculous haha

[Grubbsy4JC]

lawl so fast, I love it

[Afenstien]

i dont understand the end, nothing works together..

[l0rdslayer]

They still were able to hold it together somewhat towards the end which I give them props for. And Travis is a boss drummer. He has insane groove. But he DOES need to realize that he was rushing like hell. He knows that song isnt like half that fast. This isn't a solo show Travis. He is indeed overrated in the drumming world. But I still enjoy him.

[Fonny222]

@l0rdslayer also he had a broke right foot when he played this so he played left foot on kick for this show which amazes me. Thats why he uses the high hat on the right thats closed and the other one opened slightly in the vid.

[Twinkiiman1]

@l0rdslayer u gotta understand, he needed to let it out

[yuhbitchbertha27]

I love how at the end Travis just gets lost in it and Tom's trying to keep up and Mark's just standing there looking at Travis.

[yuhbitchbertha27]

I love how at the end Travis just gets lost in it and Tom's trying to keep up and Mark's just standing there looking at Travis.

[WELLZYxix]

i have a question: are they considering breaking up now like in 2011?

[crazy360playa]

@WELLZYxix no they're staying together forever. i guarantee it.

[WELLZYxix]

@crazy360playa yay! thank god

[lovelike182rockets]

@WELLZYxix no.

[ConnorHoffman]

how can people say Travis is bad?

[RyGuy4554]

were they arguing during this performance?

[lovelike182rockets]

@RyGuy4554 This is weeks before the split, so yeah, this was when all the fighting was happening.

[RyGuy4554]

@lovelike182rockets You can totally tell. Mark and Tom aren't being enthusiastic and they wont even look at eachother

[lovelike182rockets]

@RyGuy4554 It's line they both have "fuck off" stamped on their forehead. Travis is drumming too fast, so Tom looks constantly pissed. It's really sad for me to watch this.

Well, I guess it's not too bad anymore, because they're back together and back to normal (more or less).

[Barracuda340000]

Mark Hoppus' hair; Defying gravity since 1994

[Billyman182]

i think the reason they played this song is because mark's voice is completely gone

[relyanddefy]

i hate how blink gets compared to bands like all time low, simple plan and stuff blink invented and spawned these bands but they were never cheesy cookie cutter or lame like those bands.

[elschneidd]

@relyanddefy i kno man! just looking at the lyrics and especially the sound of the songs all those bands are such trash compared.

[SilentWaFFLed]

i was exactly the 286,000th viewer. winning.

[godwhyisthistaken]

@SilentWaFFLed im 286001!!

[JeremyJerk]

damn! i just can't keep my eyes off of Travis...he's everywhere on every angle of this video! especially the chorus parts and the ending. what a show stealer! hahahaha that's what I like about him :D

[LdyChatterleysPlover]

@JeremyJerk there's no doubt he's a kick ass drummer

[lastplacewin]

Talk about not wanting to be there. Did Tom and Mark make eye contact once throughout that whole song? You can tell they were going through some bad shit at this time.

[sylex87]

fuck yeah

[laxbro26x]

i miss this.

[jerk151810]

2:55 He had an orgasm

[MeYouBANANA]

Good ol' Travis. 

[bigshotcorpse]

i love blink 182 but them singing this they sound like crap... makes me sad to hear such a bad performance....

[NarutoUzumaki220]

@Chris182C Mark said on his tumblr that it's due july 31st. I'd imagine it would get mixed faster than september

[NarutoUzumaki220]

@Chris182C They never annouced it was september. The album is supposed to be turned in July 31st. And it will come out a week after that. Idk where u heard september xD

[bucknutz021891]

@NarutoUzumaki220 lol ur way off bud...its september

[NarutoUzumaki220]

@bucknutz021891 Yeah my bad. September 27th I think it is.

[nicwav]

@Chris182C If you don't mind me asking how do you know, they said july 31st is the deadline they have to have the album in by then. I heard if they don't turn in the album by the 31st their production company will leave them. Mark said the single should be out in like a week on tumblr and twitter. I'm pretty sure it's gonna be out by the 31st, since they said they HAVE TO complete it by then.

[NarutoUzumaki220]

@Chris182C Lol their new single is coming out within a week from now. The new album will be here like at the end of this month, or early August

[gabyartes01]

mark's hair...

[pjnba21]

who gives a shit, they are back :) i have a feeling this new album is gunna kick ass

[387Famous]

I love how the second highest comment is pretty much what the top one says in different wording. People are just obsessed with having a top comment for what? *and if this gets to be a top comment this will make no sense.

[theEPICdoor]

Mark feels its absalutly necesary to check on travis in every show!!!

[TheDrummingPenguin]

At this point, everything was going to hell for them, but like @MrShawnreidy said, thank god they're back together.

[leDanielshapiro]

toooooo fast!!

[dsiphor98]

i love how mark and tom's hair are the exact opposite, marks up and toms down, opposites attract!

[problem212]

mark is so sad. it sounds like he's saying "kill me now now, kill me now now"

[SwillyNation1991]

Mark sure fucked up the down part

[adamenigmahardy]

Pink is my new favorite color thnx to mark

[Jediknight320]

blink 182... I fucking would <3

[Outoftheclique]

0:54 i need you solll ballled? wtf was that TOM?

[JayStixxDrums95]

travis just upped the tempo lol mark and are singing faster thinking hoollyy shiiitt yet again they could be use to it

[ChrisCTL13]

I remember watching this on TV 2 night before i saw them back in O4 haha.

[yalelax2012]

i wish travis would fucking let loose like this on the bridge nowadays

[ndsndslam]

Looks like Travis is trying to take a dump.......

[Karankatau]

u can hear the older he gets the more his voice fucks off it was bad here akready a bit

[beaner3069]

the look on marks face wen he is saying "down, down, down, down" makes me sad :(

[valientdie]

...sad indeed... Tom and Mark usually play off each-others energy, but there's none to be found here

[SSekhon96]

its like a divorce, Mark doesn't want to see Tom, Tom doesn't want to see Mark, but Travis is the one caught in the middle, he is trying so hard to keep em together

[TheLastSunrise111]

@SSekhon96 Stay together for the kids :)

[pbobo11161]

@SSekhon96 that is probably the dumbest thing iv may b ever heard in my entire life

[hiddenpowa]

@SSekhon96 stay together for the kids xD

[Agge96redhot]

@SSekhon96 Yeah dude, you can see the difference between the two and travis.. He's even screwing some rythms because of it.. I can feel him.. me myself am a drummer who've been in the same situation..

[kingofthebeach182]

@Agge96redhot ya and travis' right foot was broken so he had to use his left foot for the bass drum so thats why hes a little off

[SLIMreject]

love the second verse

[Zeppelinfan25]

Alkaline Trio kills these fools

[thefightinphillies13]

@Zeppelinfan25 Really? Because Alkaline Trio was one of the opening bands FOR Blink-182 at the best Honda Civic Tour.

[Zeppelinfan25]

@thefightinphillies13 that proves nothing. AK3 is a way better band

[champ1114]

@Zeppelinfan25 thats your opinion.. to tell you the truth i think ak3 sounds like every other green day copy and cant come up with anything influential or original. But in my opinion Blink kicks theyre ass because they have done both of those things :)

[DieHunn]

The gap in talent between Travis and the other two guys is almost comical. A bit tough to watch in this instance

[Shaggy355]

Why the hell is Travis wearing a shirt?

[zZoiks]

this is a fucking terrible performance

[relyanddefy]

this performance is sicka t the end

[CoolbeansNahhhhhhhhh]

@relyanddefy heck yeah bro

[guitar9514059]

Mark's hair is awesome !!!!!!!

[LuckyStar10642]

um... they seemed out of sync to me

[Daviso69]

lol@marks hair

[STEMOSbruder]

damn for me everyone looks so lost here! it seems like they peformed not as band

[SomebodyHouston]

Blink is a huge influence in our music so if you love them you might just love us, give us a listen. We are Somebody Houston and I promise we do not suck. <3

[SomebodyHouston]

Angels & Airwaves

Blink 182

Thanks so much!

[zigabue]

ma una un doppio pedale cosi da battere con la sinistra?? perchè il colpo con la cassa lo dava con la sinstra..

[Julle7Julius]

Travis is a beast! God he's awesome man!

[pajamaloaf]

loooooove this version

[doubleac13]

he sings like shakira. its annoying tom

[jaydoode15]

This performance is a great example of Travis barker's drumming, the ending is sweet, he is even playing with a broken leg!

[MrDavidissi]

the hair is cool at 1:00

[gtazogger]

where can i buy t-shirts like this because i like their shape so much? please answer

[Bluejack96]

@gtazogger I don't know what they are wearing in this video, but they wears Famous stars and straps, Atticus, Hurley and Macbeth really much :)

[Lienutus]

I think you guys are all wrong. They're just playing a song. They always played songs hard and fast back in the day and mark always looked like that when playing Down.

[robbbbbbb77]

@Lienutus yeah man. These people are all fucked.

[Twinkiiman1]

is it me or are they playimh faster than usual n harder n diff.. n not as crazy?

[Neilhayward88]

Tom's Guitar tone is horrible in this video

[mistforever]

You can just see Travis is playing with his emotions, hitting harder than normal, i do that too when im frustrated and angry.h

[jackmainia23]

@blada600 how do you figure they where not getting along at this point

[britnaaydarling99]

amazingggggggggggg.



[ElCigaroCubano]

@1:52 mark looks like a bird

[hargun1011]

If it wasn't for Travis, it seemd as if some ppl wer doin a bad cover of Blink 182's hit single DOWN

[F22M95]

i love bink 182, but were they drunk that evening?

SUM 41 & BLINK 182 THE BEST!

[myotherdogjane]

This is the one where travis' leg is broken. What a champ

[paokalexthes]

oh man, travis is sick in this video :P

[slylockdefox246]

@paokalexthes oh man Travis miss a couple of drops on his timing, He was a bit off at some points, If you a musician you would know what im talking about, If your not, just enjoy!!!.

[paokalexthes]

@slylockdefox246 i know what you are talking about , i'm a musician. but when i listen to blink i just dont care when they mess up or if they are off at some points :P

[JordzHorizon]

@slylockdefox246 ummmm. hes using his left foot for a bass pedal because his leg was broken? im pretty sure this was the day, of course it wouldnt be perfect, but hes performing his heart out

[BlackNotes200]

marks hair is actually sick wish i saw a few more people wondering around with this hair :P

[TheofficialStewed]

Blink is one of my favorite bands ever. If you like them you'll dig the mainstreet dubsacks

[JoEaKaSuReShOt]

Travis Barker once again does not dissapoint

[slylockdefox246]

@JoEaKaSuReShOt well from Playing in live bands as a drummer as well I thought his timing was a bit off at some points. but hey he is "travis " Right?...Wrong!!!

[hybr1dpur3]

I swear, playing the drums must really be kids stuff for Travis.

[VacantFishTank]

anyone have the tabs for the cappoed version of this?

[kilibecher]

around 1:20 travis's beat sounds soo cool!

[MrShawnreidy]

This preformence is hard to watch for me, not because of the preformence its self it was okay, but not the best. But because at this point they all knew they were breaking up soon. Mark looks like he doesnt even want to be there, Tom is just going through the motions. But travis hurts me most of all, he is trying his absolute hardest to put on a show when tom and mark dont even care. And at the end he looks so sad...

Thank God they're back together

[blada600]

@MrShawnreidy I agree with you 100% that this is exactly what was happening.

[slopri]

@MrShawnreidy

I think mark's sad, since Tom wasn't his self anymore at this point, so no wonder he doesn't wanna be there. Tom's acting like everythings fine, travis is doing what he always does.

[Twinkiiman1]

@MrShawnreidy maybe travis was taking out the pain or anger of w/e he was feeling out on this performance.. looks like anyways

[willdasickkent]

@MrShawnreidy respect brother.

[MegaSuperfly10]

@MrShawnreidy WOW R U SERIOUS THEY R BACK 2GETHER ...... I CANT W8 TO HEAR THERE NEW MUSIC

[BIGWADDUP11]

@MrShawnreidy

I completley agree with what you said, but i feel like mark tom and travis, no matter how hard times were they loved every show they played

[sk8andsnw182]

@MrShawnreidy this wasnt wen they were about to break up, when they broke up they were playing much faster and tom had a deeper voice towards the end, this is around the middle of the record release and the day they broke up

[do4mbumgdwqw]

@MrShawnreidy is tom the lead singer for blink ?

[iMoNoXiN]

@MrShawnreidy dude, travis plays fucking amazing in this. i play drums, and i have to say, for me to replicate this (and im a good player as well) would be hard as fucking shit. travis's performance in this is just sick.

[do4mbumgdwqw]

@MrShawnreidy how you know they were a buot to break up ?

[STEMOSbruder]

@do4mbumgdwqw he means that they knew it... you can see it if you watch their behavior

[ordinaryweirdo]

@MrShawnreidy Why did they break up, though?

[NarutoUzumaki220]

@ordinaryweirdo Because Tom wanted to take a break from blink, like 6 months. And they had just booked a tsunami benefit and they had to cancel due to Tom. Mark and Travis didn't like that. Before and after shows they spent literally hours arguing. After they had let it all out, Mark got a call from the manager saying Tom was out of the band. They went on Hiatus and Tom started AvA and Mark and Travis went to start +44. But who the fuck cares, what I care about is their new album coming soon.

[ordinaryweirdo]

@NarutoUzumaki220 Thanks. I always liked Blink, but as of late I've been really getting into Blink. So yeah, I found out it was because Tom didn't get to see his daughter enough.

[tnable182]

@MrShawnreidy i dont think this was near their break up because they only reason they would play on letterman would be to promote a new album...i think your reading it wrong..this was way before they broke up..well sort way before lol

[alcaPWN1994]

@MrShawnreidy i agree completely.. and honestly their a better band now than before.. records gonna be better than the self titled

[KICKxASSxPRODUCTIONZ]

@MrShawnreidy I love watching this performance. I love every part about it.

[celopizzolatto]

@MrShawnreidy you right dude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SpacemanSven]

Whenever these men appear on David letterman, they make my pants shorter.

[edgardickens]

travis is the one that really knows how to play his instrument 

[AVAross182]

i think tom and mark know how to play there instruments aswell haha.. thats why they have sold 30 million + albums and the majority of the writing comes all from mark and tom

[siblings08]

travis over did it way too much at the end

[nobutyeh]

@siblings08 What do you play the fuckin triangle?

[siblings08]

@nobutyeh the drums, smartass.

[spalmerism]

@0ninjah0 Yeah this kinda sucked lol. and their mainstream crap sucks. Listen to the previous albums before this. the songs are much better studio and live

[mckelljo97]

i like no matter how much faster they play the song, the always play it perfectly

[GreenDevil42]

Damn Tom's voice was spot on here.

[hazara25]

Tom's voice sounds absolutely retarded live.

[reallyocean]

God, Travis is basically the only one who makes this performance worth watching.

[guitar9514059]

Mark's hair is fuckin awsome

I love it

[SurfStefGoldCoast]

Travis is wearing a shirt 0.0!

[KiWiCrappy]

I hate Tom's voice when he's live. If you don't know what i'm talking about, go and watch the music video of this, (or just the album version,) then come back and watch this.

[FullTiIt]

@KiWiCrappy at this point he was taking a bunch of (prescription) drugs for his back problems and they physically altered the sound of his voice.
