Tom Delonge's Voice Change in Dammit (1997, 2000, 2003, 2010)

[spritebite2]

The way Tom sang in '97 is just mind blowing. The screechiness to is voice is perfect.

[NakedSnake85]

Man, Travis has improved since 97 ^^

[crazygame7]

@NakedSnake85 That's a joke right?

[RaqibMH]

The 1997 one is better than the rest.

[xReLentLessx101]

LOSER ! u get no poooo nanny! they grow up but keep givin us music shut the fuuuuuuck up! at least their playin

[nicknack3210]

There should be a video about toms guitar playing too. It's crazy how much better he has gotten/ how much less he drinks before shows.

[Eliii247]

Tom Delonge, the only guy to hit puberty 4 different times.

[EpicxNL]

tbh in ava and the new blink album he sings fking good, but we need to see live ;)

[zcstateq]

I honestly like the new Tom and noone can say that unless they've seen them on the civic tour, Tom outsung Mark! I know i sound like a crackhead, "It's never been that way, Mark's flawless, Tom's a fag!" But when Tom's not drunk off his ass, he's fucking godly! not to mention his guitar playing live is enough to make you hard.

[AustrianInetuser]

tom voice are drugfull now ^^

[guitarg0d7007]

The blue bass that mark used in the '97 show, what bass is that? It looks different to his signature model

[MegaSlayTalliThrax]

Well, I guess this is growing up.

[AvAClan10]

Well hes not a machine....

[BlackStrat370]

Yes I noticed the voice change, but Tom Delonge is still Tom Delonge :)

[nonSteel]

is that why they broke up?

Cause Tom couldnt keep up with the image?

[TheJBaileyChannel]

It should also be called Toms weight change

[ShirtlessGuy88]

Oh wow Tom sounded like an emo kid in 97 and oddly looks like my lesbian aunt... Interesting.

Eh I think its hit and miss when you compare the voice. He definitely can end a song better now.

[bassskater96]

The perfect Tom delonge:

1997 voice

2000 humor

2003 style

2010 theory

[AK47Master512]

the 2000 voice IMO is the best overall

[WannaNoMan]

don't forget about BoxCarRacer



[Mooshilol]

2000 My favorite <3 (:

[Kreason95]

his voice has been changing throughout each album, you can't expect his voice to be the same after a 7 year break, compare cheshire cat to dude ranch, the compare dude ranch to enema, then enema to TOYPAJI, then jacket to self titled then all of the ava albums and finally neighborhoods, there is no way he's going to have the same voice he had 10 years ago

[iWreXx]

lol at this guys username

[tylerglc]

2000

[5iNF0NiiK]

2000 is in Daytona beach , Florida <3. i was there.

[mbo469]

I personally thing his voice was best in 2000

[lm23starz]

I wish Tom still had his old voice, it was awesome, but it won't be like that again, so this is what we've got now, and at least Blink 182 are back together

[squidgywizards]

omg everyone needs to get over toms voice. He was AMAZING and he still is. but yeah I think ava might of had something to do with it?? anyway I still love him.

[bobguythingdude]

i guess he did grow up

[TheBonnyQ]

1997, 2000 and 2003, good old times ^^

[Dalb0p]

1997 rocks.

[Sonofmay2]

What do you people expect, everyone gets old, bands aren't exempt from that either, peoples voices STILL change as they age, its not surprising Toms range has gone down a little, its growing up lol.

[TnkA13]

also, the difference between 1997 and 2010 is that Tom unblocked his nose ;)

[TnkA13]

2003 - the fastest blink has ever played

[dtm696]

It all changed when Tom went to Angels and Airwaves lol

[IFASTI]

like this one /watch?v=Z_MnnZKCI1Q

[IFASTI]

i actually prefer 2003 - 2005. He had that mature voice but still a touch of the old voice.

[440mb]

FUCK! THERE'S DIFFERENCE!

[jeepwranglergirl1234]

his voice used to be amazing, now it's just good.

[MtsOrlaandini]

2000 , wins

[seagate500]

I saw them a few months ago.. this vid makes it seem worse than it is

[AnimeInterpreter]

Tom' sucked for the past few years.

[CauseSheLaidMe]

This is like the 10th or something video liked this I've seen. I enjoy how people go through the years though. It's always slightly different. Different song, different clips, different years.

[teskourneofgoldshire]

tom delonge sucks after the year 1997

[dbyrd39]

I love tom!!! He could humm the ABC's and release it as a single and i'd buy it!

[Hate1328]

anyone else notice when they went backwards from 2010 that the tempo increased each time they went back a year?

[ShyrusBean]

i prefer 2003

[AnaaLovesVamps]

Fail heart -3*

[AnaaLovesVamps]

I still love Tom's voice. Neighborhoods is great, even though his voice is different. I will always love Blink-3

[GDBForever]

@GayLifegaurd right on bro, blink forever

[SHAPmovies]

It kinda just got worse and worse...

[Puuc]

Well, I think THAT'S growing up...

[iWreXx]

well mark's voice didnt change..

[MuscleDad420]

They all the suck. The only noticeable difference is the weight gain. Oof.

[hadododo6]

they have so much less energy in 2010

[hadododo6]

2000, and 2003 are awesome

[SoundStation98]

He sounds like hes gotta take a huge dump now.

[eoghanctv]

i blame gibson, gibson changed his voice

[MrKirkLehman]

@eoghanctv YES ever since he got that fucking guitar! And AVA! Gibson and AVA changed his voice!

[eoghanctv]

@MrKirkLehman yeah i loved the old fender strat great guitar or even his old lespaul the billabong guitar or the ibanez i think that had the descendents sticker on it, look at mark and Travis they are great same equipment i do have to say in the last year tom has improved i believe it is to do with being in the recording studio

[IluminousBlack1]

Its clear that its that ugly ass guitar making him sing badly.

[eoghanctv]

@IluminousBlack1 true only thing is he wrote toypaj dude ranch and self titled with a guitar very similar an es-335

[CDandCV]

2000 is best in my opinion

[93saintjimmy]

I like 2003. :D

[kOolDinosour]

yay! that 2010 clip was at epicenter 2010 ! i was there :D

[guitar19951]

go actually see them live, tom sounds 309438920287437 times better than what any camera can do him justice

[drummerfever1]

soooo, basically the word you're looking for is puberty?

[spencyj]

His voice has improved since 2010

[brandon6pk]

so sad that everyone is growing up, blink 182 will always bring me to that time where growing up just seemed so far away

[blinkday99]

is that travis on the drums in1997

[GayLifegaurd]

@blinkday99 No!! That's Scott Raynor. He got kicked out of the band in 1998.

[rodoo97]

@blinkday99

NOOB

[2k7Roni]

@blinkday99 and you call yourself a blink fan

[holasoysanty]

@blinkday99 noob xD

[2k7Roni]

1997 is the best one

[jazz69bass]

2000 the best :D

[SuperDbopp]

2003!! is the best

[HopeRunsDeep22]

Yeah. He grew up, and so did his voice.

[laboheme8]

Like 2003 best

[mzarate1017]

If you don't like tom's voice then record a video of you singing better than him and upload it to your youtube account...and if you're not gonna do that, then STFU!

[LJfromIB]

@mzarate1017 I'm sure just about everyone can sing better than him... Except me... Cause I sound like a bad Guy Picciotto

[ZapdosIsHawt]

this depresses me..

[michelreev]

Tom is my cock

[KurtTheGuitarPlayer]

in 2010 he finally guessed that his voice was the remainder of "growing up"

[believeinjeans95]

you know who voice didnt change (or not that we know of), TRAVIS!!!!

[Reeper1020]

I always thought Mark sung Dammit

[GamerMan57]

@Reeper1020 in the studio yes. but they accidentally wrote it outside of marks vocal range. but they were able to get a good take of it in pitch. but because he couldnt really do it they would have tom sing the choruses live because tom had a higher voice

[ureverdaylawnmower5]

wow i miss his old voice

[lucas94380]

1997 is the best

[GamerMan57]

just to say, the tone of his voice hasnt really changed much since TYPJ. his range is just a half step lower now. so it just seems like its different. theres a guy who made a video where he turned up the pitch on "Up all Night" by a half step and tom (and actually mark too) sounded EXACTLY like he did back then

[GayLifegaurd]

@GamerMan57 Couldn't have said it better myself, you're right. :D

[saladtosser9]

@GamerMan57

it's no the pitch that i don't like, i just dislike how when he sings he tries to make it so dramatic

[GamerMan57]

@saladtosser9 well in a band like AVA it makes more sense. with blink not as much. but u hav to remember that he didnt sing any blink stuff for about 4 years so it would be hard to get back into that type of style

[mfraser]

@GamerMan57 Where is this video?

[GamerMan57]

@mfraser type in "Blink-182 - Up All Night (re-pitched) Old Tom voice"

it was uploaded by magnesFUCKTHEFOX

[mfraser]

@GamerMan57 Thanks!

[awsom97]

@GamerMan57 can you goimie the link for the video about the guy editing up all night?

[himynameisjonnycap]

Well the drums sound better in 2010 thats for damn sure

[Likedude182]

tom went through puberty 6 times, lol

[thique2]

Mark's voice didn't change

[Untitledcovers182]

Tom was at his raddest in 2000 to 2003 them he discovered cake

[1RHero]

"Well I guess this is growing up"

Ha! I see what you did there!

[realityorfiction]

2003 is best

[rierson223]

toms gained some weight over the years-_-

[nomis210]

My favorite is 2011

[BandVOA]

INCEPTION!

[EKSvideos]

That shouldnt have happened to toms voice in just 12 years. There are guys whove been in bands for like 20 years or more and still sound exactly the same.

[AlimeProductions]

I think that Blink-182 (Tom) has always sounded good, and I like how over the use they're using variety.

[blink18freaking2]

@GayLifeguard nooo its not......look up dammit live its in texas in 1996 smd

[GayLifegaurd]

@blink18freaking2 Did I not just give you the correct information, plus the link to the video that proves it's not 1996. Dammit couldn't have been played live in 1996 if the album hasn't been released yet!! The original poster of that video you're referring has got the date wrong and obviously does not know blink smdh.

[081superdude180]

@GayLifegaurd,

While I do agree, the content in your video is from 1997, when you say "it couldn't have been played live that early" is not entirely true. Many bands, including Blink, will play songs that they're working on way before they're ever released. Some of the songs off Neighborhoods they sang earlier versions of during their 2009 tour. Whether these sound like the final studio version depends. Just saying...

[KennyTMForTheWin]

@GayLifegaurd your arguments invalid. they play songs live before the album comes out all the time.

[GayLifegaurd]

@KennyTMForTheWin Not Dammit -_-

[imjake]

@GayLifegaurd dude. bands write and play new songs all the time. and I'm sure dammit was written well before 1996

[GayLifegaurd]

@imjake Well no shit it was written in 1996, that's when they recorded it.

[DisappearingBoy80]

Almost like reallllly late starting puberty

[blink18freaking2]

that was 1996 in texas and 2000 is the best but all tom is amazing

[GayLifegaurd]

@blink18freaking2 No, actually that was in 1997 at the MTV Sports & Music Festival on October 18, 1997. Look it up here /watch?v=MrsWvTbL3TU .. Plus Dude Ranch was recorded in December of 1996 and wasn't released until June 1997. Therefor it couldn't have been played live that early.. and yes Tom is amazing.

[MattieeSkates]

1997! <3

[guitar1472]

I love Tom regardless, everyone should be happy the band is up and going again :)

[RoboticGoldfish]

1997 he was kinda screaming or something

2000 he was just singing it awesome

2003 i think it's very chill voice

2010 He's breathing to much in the mic. 

[SLIMZ34]

Well... I gues this is growing up

[mike182forever]

the best was all of them, cause tom will always be awesome.

[rjkahlon]

Mark Hoppus: "If you watch close enough, you might watch Tom getting fatter and fatter"

haha nice prediction Mark

[joxe123fuel]

but,only in Dammit? ._.

[johan8johan8]

im actually a huge fan of his 2003 voice!

[area51channel]

1:17 : )

[AndyG922]

wtf with 2003 "everybodys gawwwn

[Hellhoundkiller87]

1997 was the best 2000 alright 2003 not that good 2010 sucks

[Matronic05]

It's not his fault... the dick in his ass just slowly went in deeper and deeper as years went on...

[gianlryu600]

1997 2000 2003 2010 i love dammit live ever!!

[laxinbd]

they play so slow now in 2009,2010,2011. They were so fucking on point in 2003,2004

[vzsv6182]

2003 <3



[ExoticPancakes]

well i guess this is growing up

[ottocioni]

2010 fat tom shit

[SwillyNation1991]

1997 fo sho!

[atticus0011]

doesnt help that the 2010 KROQ show was recorded by retards

[ZoeySlipknotFan]

1997 was cutest.

[XxBiggerBossxX]

Tom's voice is now electronically modified to stay in key. Has been since he started with Angels and Airwaves.

[seelikemee]

@XxBiggerBossxX It's always been like that, well ever since TOYPAJ, He just made it more prominent in the AvA albums. He has his good days live.

[justind71]

So how come his voice sounds great on the new album is it all the techno stuff making it sound better? Dont think I would see them live after hearing the latest stuff of Toms voice, at least the album he sounds great. Actually, that album they did with the cartoons on it, the live one, he sounded pretty good on that, not sure of year though. long live blink anyhow! the new blink album rocks, unlike the new AvA one it sounds crap!

[ncdefense06]

they need to go back to the faster versions

[04GUITARPLAYER04]

it is blink if it is perfect its not blink. period.

[patrickzajic]

but this is gownin' up!

[jenny16121]

obviously his voice can't stay the same ppl he was still pretty young in 1997 he prob didn't even hit puberty haha well i guess this is growing up tom :P

[FallingStructure]

need 2011 since his voice changed again haha

[jermyz3]

@FallingStructure Your retarded.

[FallingStructure]

@jermyz3 *you're

[luiscinco0419]

2000 was epic



[CaptainCanDo]

A singer's voice changes as they get older. Unless you're Mark apparently. But that might be because he has a very limited range.

[1990GreenDay2009]

First I was like :D. Then I was like :D Then I was like :) and finally I was like :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[fatriff]

You can't really tell because of the quality of the 2010 recording.

[TheJoemoze]

i wasnt alive on 1997 lol i wish a was

[realfatnick]

this guys sucks

[ssariboyy]

2003 !

[Hilzy1517]

regardless of what it sounds like, its still awesome that after 14 years they still play the same song. 14 YEARS, THIS SONG WOULD BE IN HIGH SCHOOL

but 1997 does sound the most "original" but its cool to see how a song has changed and adapted to the style blink was playing at each point.

[DrumsTama182]

EVOLUTION !

[SagaciousSilence]

That's depressing. He's having trouble breathing in the more recent ones :(

[xPinto182]

in 97 tom was only 22, youd have to imagine his voice would continue changing as he got older

[MLCdrummer95]

i like the one where tom is singing

[ManualPixarPresents]

pshhh... who cares about how tom changes his voice... how does travis change his look from 1997 to 2000!!! its like he is a totally diferent person man!!! omg, he must have some great plastic surgery or something man bcuz that is just waaaay to crazy man!!! (for all you little hipsters, i know its two different people, but its called a fucking joke... now laugh or i, satan, will eat your throat)

[MrBeerboy182]

in saying that, Mark sounds great on all 4!

[Darillo182]

In 1997 he gave a shit about sounding like a great singer but his voice was awesome!

In 2010 he desperately tries to sound like Bono from U2 or those kind of singers and he ends up sounding like me when I'm throwing up!

Some people forget where they come from...

I wish he'd have stayed as cool as Mark. Mark seems like a normal grown-up who still likes to make his jokes. Tom just seems fake... :-/

[J7Enders]

2003

[LucasBGO]

weel, i guees this is growing up !

[oneoftheclones]

mark sounds pretty much the same

[NOPAL718]

It aint his fault.. u think he wants to sound crappy?

[blackmagic1029]

You got to remember your voice is still changing remember 1997 They were still teens. Their fully grown men (or look like it haha) But still thats how life works.
