[bLiNk182aMaZiNg]

i dont think travis knows the concept of keeping time with mark and tom

[AEDrummer1]

@bLiNk182aMaZiNg actually he kept perfect time with them, he just went A LOT faster

[Sami774882]

this is so fucking rad !!

[scumpadre]

i feel like tom started slur singing in spite prior to their temporary break-up

[delez24]

@scumpadre dude... this was a full 2 years before they broke up.. he slurred cause he needed pain killers before every show because he had back surgery

[scumpadre]

@delez24 oh damn, i'm a fuckin asshole

[danielbaksa93]

Travis what the fuck :D:D:D:D

[TheGameplayFan]

It's so awesome when Travis trashes the fucking snare ... Tom fucks his guitar and Mark punches his bass ... One Word : AWESOME :D

[poppunklifestyle]

this is the best live video of travis i have ever seen!!!

[leeisDARK]

Why does mark sing the intro now?

[dudzi777]

@leeisDARK just for fun

[sk8andsnw182]

@leeisDARK he has been singing it since like their european tour in 2004

[drummer4lifeskater]

[gaben1994]

[Mymadness88]

[mrslover92599]

[Bballnerfmvp]

@Chris182C oh lol sorry XD

[blink182120196]

[rrb123]

Travis fucking kills it here, it's insane

[GrumpyGamerGary]

tom sucks and is amazing at the same time

[pokinon2]

does anyone know how to play the solo/bridge in the middle of the song?

[kingx2000]

tom is the blink 182s edge!! the center of the band

[mrwahwah1]

whoever says blink isnt punk needs to listen to this song.....

[rorror182]

extra lar :L

[JiggleyPuff95]

i think this could be one of the worst blink performances ever

[speakers4783]

he is absolutely shitfaced lmao

[DoomsDayOrphanage]

travis is a beast

[FangsUpJen]

this crowd sucks

[maincurlx]

@FangsUpJen - U right :3 crowd soooo quet n unhappy they could have give their ticket to me :P

[mfighter96]

@FangsUpJen They probably don't like it when one of their favorite musicians is stoned attempting to sing and failing epicly.

[dannyberesford7]

@mfighter96 It's a mixture of alcohol & overdosing on medication for his back

[BLiNKFan8903]

@FangsUpJen no they just edit it out

[CoolWat3r79182]

1:33 sounds like he had the hivups or something

[funnybastard1]

haha tom is the legeeeeeeend ;)

[seaofpeople0]

He left a scar size extra lar...

what happened to the end of that sentence at 1:10 ??

[zuesskates]

whats up with his voice, i like it better in the toypaj enema days

[jackiebegoood]

everyone says now tom sounds a lot different now, i think this sounds a lot like the tour they just did in 2009. lol.

[johnnomonno]

tom sounds like he's about to throw up several times. doesn't matter, he's still freakin' awesome.

[Edtheyak]

tom is the only musician who can play shit and sound good

[bLiNk182aMaZiNg]

he sucks at singing. but the way he mumbles his words sounds so cool

[NooBFTWin]

@Edtheyak

if by sounding good u mean MAKING EVERY1 VOMIT TO HIS VOICE IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER, then ok

[punkrockgod100]

@Deathlock257 shut up. i respect your thoughts but no one wants to here them on a blink vid

[charlypunk6]

[lookingforit]

[georgew123]

toms guitar sounds so awesome in the beginning riff!!!! when it picks up. i wish i could get that kinda effect :(

[bathroommat]

i dont like it much personaly. effects ruin the older songs. not saying this not good just saying i prefur just simple distortion.

[georgew123]

[kmack2422]

[AlexThompsonnn]

[AlexThompsonnn]

He clucks

[AlexThompsonnn]

1:34 WTF?

[xxhollie111xx]

sounds like he has hic cups

[caneman1995]

haha

[spasticaznkid]

LMFAO who the fuck is matt. LOLOL

[spasticaznkid]

Were you talking about blink 182?

[iLoveAndMissBlink]

ahaha dude 1 tom sings/guitar

2 travis is drums

3 mark bass/sing

and tom made the song so he sings it

[redhotGDblink41]

u suck dicks, and apparently A LOT OF THEM

[spaethizzle]

wow, first off, you stupid ****, tom sings it in the recording, and matt is not a member of the band, there is no and never has been a mat in blink, go step in front of a bus, please, for humanities sake

[ThreeEleven89]

i think mark treis to help him singing

[dcjustin22]

Tom looks hella emo. but fuck blinks the best

[skateguitar72591]

I use to be a Blink 182 freak like 5 years ago. like one of those obsessive fans like probably how the rest of you are now haha. but now I still like them I am just into music that I find more musically developed and lyrically deep.

but still travis barkers fucking drums in this song are insane. the whole song is partly a drum solo and the other haveeeee insanely fast blast beats.

tom does suck at singing but still somehow made one of the most popular bands of its time. thats true talent.

[Lolzqotsblink]

wtf. Tom sucks singing? ok he's not great live, but its fucking hard 2 play well and sing well at same time. but all studio song is great. he has a special voice that is more important for punkrock,,...

[itschristorres8]

Tom sings like fuckin garbage in this song

[marshman500]

The worst thing is I think he thinks its funny... I love blink but I would rather him actually try live for this song. That said they ARE great live. This isnt though

[buddhika216]

yup

[Gears182]

haha 1:03 travis fucking goin crazy

[drummerboy3455]

how do you do the bridge that way someone please help me like tab it out

[david182666]

travis enloquesio

[lblink182ftw]

they pull off shitty performances and make them sound amazing, thatss why blink is the best ever. tom's vocals are unique which makes him a bamf

[acidkid1984]

well at least you cant accuse them of lip syncing. blink is notorious for having sloppy nights . i like it it shows they are real

[gigglebot677]

vertiGUH-OH

[andyjee86]

HAHA that accent tom started putting on towards their breakup is atrocious, ruins every song he tried to sing.

[tobytri]

it's not an accent. he was taking pain killers for his back, and he was the most fatigued out of the three, he wasnt going to bed early enough and he was drinking too much. it was difficult for him to handle the tour.

[gizmo359c]

"...use this song to lead you.....on...." LOL

[intraplatanario]

fuck this so bad i dont like it tom sing so worse!!

[Skilp14]

is tom high?

[iLoveAndMissBlink]

kinda but he was on pain meds alot of pain meds.

Blink 182 4 life

[gizmo359c]

maybe

[BlinkTomi182]

Travis is awesome! Tom sound so cool! :)

[nicko145]

As was marks bass playin!!

[tnable182]

i love this stage of tom...he so funny yet oddly pathetic..i mean that in a goo way

[maddym90]

BLINK-182 FANS I BRING HOPE

+44 AVA are wrecks right now. WE NEED ALL BLINK FANS TO DO ONE FINAL BURST OF HOPE. WE NEED TO UNITE OF BREAK THE WILLS OF AVA AND +44! HIT THE WEBSITES WITH REUNION MESSAGES! POST THIS MESSAGE EVERYWHERE YOU CAN! AS LONG AS THERE IS MEMORY,AND BLINK FANS. THEY WILL REUNITE! MEMORY,FANS,BLINK!

[Foundation4life]

there it is

[foreverdayslikethese]

fuck tom hatters

[mchager101]

dude hes got more balls than u and showing up 2 the show is better than cancelling

[savestheray182]

agreed ...and personal the shittier ppl think his voice is i like it more and more like if u cut out toms tongue i would still love his voice

[nicko145]

i think they would be more disapointed without a show.

[armadilloqueen99]

o.k I love blink so I dont wanna have to defend myself but....... why is tom whining the lyrics like a sad baby towards the end?

[241u]

he was addicted to pain killers, it made his voice messed up, that's just what I've read on other youtube videos.

[rohiogerv22]

hes obviously having voice troubles the whole song. his voice was too deep most of it so he probably tried to fix it and couldn't. Probably just tired. It happens.

[hamehead1]

it would fit them better if they would stick to how the song is played instead of travis playing random beats that dont even go with the song

[VinceAlessio]

if u r a blink fan you know that theres parts in every live performance travis changes... and they play it faster.. it enhances the live experience.. playing live isnt about being perfect it's about making the kids move their asses in the crowd

[Smashed1000]

Travis carries this performance dude. Tom isn't at his best but Travis more than makes up for it.

[savestheray182]

it was just an expression i just rlly liked it...lol.

[savestheray182]

i just came at the bridge 2:02 ahhh yesss.. ahhaljhvb;jnvqef

[dilligaf1942]

how did that make you come lol?

[gontier94]

haha...the bridge is fucking awesome

[dilligaf1942]

haha, he says "somethings wrong" like "sartheeong" , it sounds funny.  i reckon this performance is awesome anyways, despite what some people think.

[ajcr015]

haha Tom is wearing a TSOL shirt!

Travis is f***ing amazing in this song

[gr33ndayTL33]

Travis always the one who was just like lets fuckingplay guys

[buddhika216]

yup

[canoeclanner]

holy shit travis is goin nutz!

[GeneralHasslehoff]

Tom sang this in AvA he said he was going to do Blink I was like shit but I loved it he did a great job with Reckless Abandon.

[dougsusername]

i love blink but i always feel that in the last years travis always gave 150% but tom and mark kinda gave like 75% idk maybe it's just me

[invaledcode]

yea i think travis gave it his all, mark gave most of it, but tom diddnt even try.

[DopeSick408]

But its not bad

[DopeSick408]

Haha nah this is his drugged up pain killer voice

[blink182fan0901]

dammit this is his AVA voice

[dougsusername]

even in boxcar racer he didn't do this

[Cheerios4u98]

Actually he did.

[Fillzy]

2:16 ,there it's! AvA's voice...how "good" tom can sing..

it sucks alot to know that toms not the same anymore...

[buddhika216]

ya it's that sad depressed voice

[linkinzoolander]

Actually now Tom sounds way better. At the end of blink and beginning of AVA it straight sucked, but now it's pretty darn good.

[DeBesti]

Luv his voice in this song

[DeBesti]

Luv hisovice in this song

[frafri]

look at my cover

great song :) love the guitar

[dordorfilms]

I fuckin love his voice

[cristohuet]

Travis is an absolute maniac

[bamskatekid85]

hahahahahhaahahha 1:34 is so fucking funny

[cristohuet]

TRAVIS IS A FUCKING BEAST!

[Joao0990]

Nooooooooooooooooooo! This is when he started getting his AVA voice. :'(

blink was the best!

[Nintendostar182]

Nooooooooooooooooooo! This is when he started getting his AVA voice.

[BLINK182GreatestBand]

I Miss blink So Much :(

[rottenlove420]

i was there. tom was trashed.

during feeling this and a few others, he was stumbling a little and sluring too. he made a joke bout it at the beggining of the show. plus travis is playing pretty fast and its not that easy keeping up when your quite past 2 sheets to the wind lol

damn. i miss blink so fucking much.

they were def. the soundtrack of my childhood and growing up.

id kill for a blink reunion. i wont hold my breath...

but hey, if the smashing pumpkins can do it....

[klamore10]

what the fuck! hahahahaha go to like 1 34

[minimullen]

its weird but i like toms voice like this even if it sucks

when him and mark harmonize its like the coolest sound ever

[nacho3rdbowler]

he's actually not singing badly at all in this one. look up videos of angels and airwaves live. those are classic examples of tom sucking at singing.

[turborufs]

haha tom and mark is so bad at singing, and i love it!:D

[GOW9212]

crowd was into it

[182mememe182]

although i still think toms singing is very good, i love the way mark sort of saves him by jumping in wen hes singing particularly bad

[GRA182Tribe]

i agree 100%. I noticed the same thing. It just shows how good of caring friends they were.

[rberlin2]

hahaha oh my god. mark's not doing that to SAVE tom or whatever you're saying...he's doing that because that's how they planned to sing the song, with mark coming in for back-up vocals at that point in the song. mark would do it even if Tom was singing amazing, because that's how the song goes.

[mylastwordsava]

tom sings way better than this in ava

[GRA182Tribe]

This is a tough song to perform live, and I thought he did a very good job at it.
