Letter To Elise - Blink 182 (Cover)

[PsychoSeal1]

does anyone have an idea what pedal tom uses to get that effct?

[UCLAfan28]

Does anyone know where I can download this?

[afolks17]

sorry just doesnt work, shouldve chosen a different song.



[042kris]

if blink 182 covers any song they destroy it and make it into thier own work. better then anyone can do. and make the original band wish they were a fraction as good as blink 182. blink 182 all the way.

[greendayforever2k9]

is a using a wah pedal in the intro?

[carlton15]

@greendayforever2k9 flanger and wah.

[nofxmike06]

I don't like the effects used in this version. Too fast. Sang it flat. Sue me.

[losbotos]

too fast...don't like it...

[Rogue1StandingBy]

Robert looked really impressed, they played a not so popular song with their own style.

[JdInmortal]

Is a good cover.... i guess tom would never sing as robert...and mark is not rob smith, but his voice is more appropriate than tom's voice... i love this song...and this cover is not bad.

[TEAMbandny]

3 criticisms:

1. the vocals are outside of mark's range. they should have transposed it.

2. travis apparently has absolutely no understanding of what the song is about.

3. tom is just making noise.

i am a fan of blink, a fan of the cure, and a fan of the original song, and i love that blink shows respect to Smith&co. but they really just should have picked a different song.

[Lemonshamp00]

@TEAMbandny you're a fucking retard man.. 1. vocals dont need to be exact man.. wtf are you talking about they totally didn't try to copy everything and it proves in this music video... 2. I'm pretty sure travis knows what this is about.. I'm pretty sure you aren't TB so stop thinking like you do.. he's not just a punk drummer if you're a fan of blink you should cus it's a shame that you're saying this.. 3. It's different... it's not trying to copy the cure did.. and it kinda resembles

[Shopola]

They play their instuments like madmen!!!!!! Especially the drummer!!!! So different from The Cure

[captaincolombo182]

robert smith seems so impressed

[MrGranty73]

not a patch on the original

[mreliassimpson]

Blink are my favourite band but i love the cure

both versions kick ass

remember this is a cover and its in blink's style so stop hating

[p00123456789]

i wonder when a band like blink cover a song how they learn the guitar parts do they just go on to ultimate guitar lol probly by ear but yeh how do you think they do it

[MattyE191]

@p00123456789 They buy the sheet music?

[LaddieGalicia]

RUINED

[SupraTuned]

I love how youtube is censored now

[loreleioo3]

I LOVE blink182, but this version fails

[Kurenai62]

wtf? how can the same song sound so f* different? The original is (in my opinion) better, this one can't get the essence of the lyrics

[leopardiniano]

senti 199322

al rogo vaccete kn kuella magna bokkini de tu madre!!!

i blink l'hanno popo mijorata

kazzo!!!qll vera fa kagaa le sore!!

[The199322]

Mi fai pietà e ribbrezzo

[The199322]

@leopardiniano magna bokkini sarà tua madre ricchione

[The199322]

hanno avuto il potere di rovinare un capolavoro...blink 182 mi avete sempre fatto cacare,siete solo capaci di suonare pop punk del cazzo.questa è un duro colpo.blink al rogo.mi fate schifo.poveri cure ç_ç

[joewolfful]

@The199322 cmq nella band che tu hai appena denigrato suona il sesto miglior batterista al mondo ( travis barker).. ci sarà un motivo non credi? e comunque se non ti piace come l'hanno coverata non c'è bisogno di infangare un genere musicale perchè la stessa cosa potrebbe farla qualcuno con te con uno dei tuoi gruppi preferiti.. e non penso che ti piacerebbe..ognuno hai i suoi gusti..se avessimo tutti gli stessi gusti pensa un pò che schifo di mondo..

[MrHarri2]

This rubbish!

[thechubbyman]

marks pushing his voice way to hard in this, he should have sang it a few octaves lower.

[fleck182]

Very nice! I love this song!!!!

Fuck Yeeeaaahhh!!!

[cxazy313]

tottaly awsome!

[jandy16]

great cover

[mpbwcde]

where did u get this... please one question can someone tell me one show of blink that was edited like in the big day out or in kroq....i cant found another one! BLINK RULES

[mnbvcxzxc16]

[beshba]

[mnbvcxzxc16]

this is fucking amazing!!

[Twilamore]

That.Was.AMAZING! I love how they put their own twist to it :)

[minimullen]

i love how blink didnt try to match it exactly the same they did it in there own style like

another girl another planet.

Now thats an awasome band

[urmothasawhore123]

Blink took that song and made it their bitch!

[bomgigity]

@urmothasawhore123 lmao oh sooo tru!!! great name btw!

[HumanJarv]

Not as beautiful as The Cure's version ^_^

[Anzaldozo2]

muerte a esa mamada

solo the cure

[pako182mkotela]

si a robert smith le gusta tu crees q importa lo q tu quieras?

[adamsue182]

blink did make it their own fuck face did you not hear it

[anant12345]

Who are you talking to?

Ha ha.

[adamsue182]

i thought you meant something else by that

[anant12345]

I uploaded the video.

I LOVE this cover.

I'm defending for this cover, ha ha.

[frosty1433]

@anant12345 I like the slower version better. it's more sadder.

[CodySobieck]

:( So much hate in the comments for this video.

It's a good song...The Cure did good writing it and playing it. Blink did good too. with the playing part that is. :)

[eagles91245]

hmmm blink kicks ass douche bags

[fabixyard]

fuck them, fuck those stupid crybabies from the suburbs, whoerver likes this song doesnt know shit about music, it is a shame for American music, I apollogize for this crap, we have good bands in the US I swear

[anant12345]

Well, here's how I see it. Music is music. And if you're going to COVER a song. Make it YOUR OWN. If you know ANYTHING about music, then you'd know, that doing a cover should be YOUR TWIST ON IT. Then consider the genre covering the song.

[idontneedashirt]

fuck you blink rock and robert loved it

[thefray123]

really? =D

[miniman1135]

dude your a fucking retard, now get a life

[miniman1135]

dude your a fucking retard, get a life

[geetarplayer4ever]

dude, grow up. If you don't like the music that's YOUR problem, why bother commenting the video?

I love these guys, they've inspired me by showing that you don't have to have complicated guitar riffs, but rather make simple stuff that sounds complicated when put together. Blink-182 has influenced tons of bands today and no one can pull off the style better than they can, no matter how good these bands get.the cover DID have it's own twist, and I'm not a fan of the cure yet I love Blink's cover.

[tyler9999]

Way to put it bro! I love blink

[JODQ11]

I first i thought you were a troll, then i checked your profile and know i know you are stupid for real.

Grow up please.

[anant12345]

Woah, who are you talking to?

Ha ha.

[thexgoodxdays]

such a great cover

[TristesseReaper]

They suck compared to the Cure on this song. They just suck.

[geetarplayer4ever]

tons of people prefer this version to the Cure's version. Infact, I was told that this song was nominated as "best cover" or something. And the Cure actually really liked their version, from what my bud told me. You'd be surprised about how individuality catches on. Just because it's different doesn't mean it sucks. And yes, Blink has had their bad days but they've also head their good days, this being one of their good days in my opinion =)

Blink-182 forever!!! =D

[fabixyard]

fuck you, you must be 12 or something, your opinion sucks, go fuck yourself

[link90099]

obviously, i wouldnt say they suck, but its not original, the cures sounds better

[scrubyjoe]

great cover. Quicker tempo and mark's voice gives it a more upbeat sound. Blink really did the song justice.

[dannydch]

Q ASCO

[inael]

nnnnnnnnnoooooooo, este es un buen cover :)

[zomgSAMANTHA]

i like this version better than the original

[kornpleiks]

mark's voice fit into it.. blink is back!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­e

[anant12345]

Filipino Pride really :].

[cerpus]

rulez

[choleetoh]

who knew tom actually shred guitar like this?

[b182fan900]

listen to the song touchdown boy and some other songs on cheshire cat. back then he really experimented with the guitar

[johnnyboy1013]

no

if you played guitar you would listen to their old songs and realize he has no idea of what he was doing

[geordyplaysguitar]

yeah he could play really tough stuff on the old CDs. This isn't really that hard but Tom is amazing at making simple riffs sound incredible.

[putwuteverdude]

Beautiful.

[pushi410]

ta weno mas punketa...pero no kambio la de the cure.

[skaterhock]

buena interpretacion pero prefiero la de "the cure"

[mhisk8isapunker]

Lol robert is approving it. Awesome song!

This is probably the best cover ever.

[hoomlwe]

love blink 182 :] favourite band :) although i listen no hundreds of bands only mark and tom really get to me....

[blindman789]

both versions bring something different to the table, why is everyone so agressive?

[razer833]

cause probly there one of two things.

1. crippled

2. same as above!

[xsjcalix]

he trying really hard to sing this song

[MaslanY1]

i think so he is just too drunk :P

[titorcmc]

mi fanno venire i brividi....blink 182....the best band ever......

[carouselmdq]

hahahah shut up fucker

one of the bests on mtvicon

[falter2002]

This pisses me off. There's never been an injustice done to The Cure as great as this. Don't get me wrong. Blink 182 was a great band, and I still like their music. But they completely murdered this song. Maybe it's the lack of a British accent. But it's garbage, all the same.

[YeahManWoot]

This is so shit. When I listened to this my ears started oozeing out shit. Fuck you all.

[himynamelscolin]

yeah thats cuz you got shit for brains dumbass

[jetstream01]

Hah burn!

[jjssmmpp]

fuck u mothefuckin bitch

[mhisk8isapunker]

best cover of the cure ever

[zezarsmith]

SUXX SUXX ALOT!

[bazytherapper]

I love this cover, and I love blink...

[zachindie]

I mean technically they're not "punk", they're pop punk. They're definitely different from the rest of the sub-genre though, what with them being good and most other bands sucking.

[RiptideHockey31]

sry for the triple post

[anant12345]

No problem.

[zachindie]

Everyone here saying this is a horrible cover is just plain ignorant. Of course he doesn't sing it like Robert Smith because he's not Robert Smith. Why would you cover a song and make it sound exactly like the original? That would be pointless. They brought their own youthful and original sound into the cover and it sounds great. If you don't like it, that's just an opinion. It's definitely not a horrible cover.

[anant12345]

AMEN!

[mrrickles]

*High five*

Awesome

[44182blink]

woah dude at the beginning of the song or around there you can see robert smith from the cure =]

[liseehunakele]

My name is Elise. um....InTeReStInG sOnG.........

[julistyle]

pinkpunk fuck you!!!!

[howtofuckaduck]

bitch!!

[PinkPunk7232]

i fucking hate blink 182 everyone thinks there punk but there is nuthm punk about these cock suckers, there such posers

[bathroommat]

go kill yourself :)

[dannynigma]

i hope your joking, cause you just came on here and made yourself look like the dumbest fuckin person since your mother for having your stupid ass

[invaledcode]

yea your a fucking piece of shit

[44182blink]

dude alot of people think blink-182 are posers but their fucking dumb because their not,their picked genre is alternative rock but i think they have most of a punk sound...you just need to get a life and stop trying to lable other bands and say they suck because you'll get yelled at by angry people........grrr you stupid american........

And other bands are posers for trying to be like blink 182 or be better they are an amazing band dumbshit......

[RiptideHockey31]

wow if there not punk then you clearly dont know shit about skate punk.

[RiptideHockey31]

if they arent punk then you clearly dont know much about skater punk. so im pretty much sayin that you are an idiot and you need to change your user name to wannabe69

[RiptideHockey31]

you clearly dont know what punk. cuz blink 182 is not misfits punk they are skate punk. if you cant realize that then your username should be wannabe69

[dirtyundertrausers]

it#s not very often that blink 182 sung so "good" in a way like that. In other videos are the vocals veeeeeeeeeeeeery terrible

[SweetLittleElise]

my name's elise :)

[sholfeltz3]

what the fuck are you talking about

you just deserved a kick in the nuts

[tyronwytrykowski]

if only they were still together, i would seee them live anyday.... if they had one more show i would pay £1000 to see them live

[xxxblink182islifexxx]

They are back and better than ever! (But I'm sure by now you already know this.)

[Ericorocker]

the original version is much better....

[ImNotOkayTrustMe1]

Duh. I think when it comes to The Cure, no one can make a cover better than the original.

[rocksystem132]

i lvoe both versions :D

[JollaHN]

I love Blink..but siceraly..this song loses its point when Mark sings it..or the way he sings it..I don't know..

[Wulfgar12]

its shallow, he made it youthful..

[foxerbarker]

I love this song played by blink

i love it

[elanggeloo]

[HopelessPoetGirl]

haha

awesomeness

my name's Elise

♥

[SmashingThingsRocks]

It's an okay cover. I do love the cure's version the best, and that's just a matter of taste. It's not like you hate your parents because they listen to blues and you listen to metal, so stop the bashing!

[JuggaloJack21]

This sucks. Blink 182 sucks. I hate them they fucked up a really good song. Those bitches. Those fake ass bitches. I cant explain how mad i am.

[anant12345]

Why watch the video then?

Ignorant fuck.

[Curehead2]

He was right Blink182 fucking sucks your dick. Fuckin bitch!

[anant12345]

So why are you watching the video?

And if they suck my dick,

at least I AM getting my dick sucked :).

Ha ha.

You talk so much shit on the net.

Shut the fuck up and FIND me in person.

We'll see what the fuck happens :).

Have a good day!

[xavi182ben]

fuck you

[anant12345]

Wait, who are you talking to?

Lol.

[xavi182ben]

that guy that said blink 182 sucks, haha sorry XD

[Curehead2]

by the way the cure is the best band in the world, and no one can even come close to them.

[blame182]

this a cover a NOOB

and watch how R.Smith enjoyed this awesome cover

besides i can depress you THERE WERE ALOT BANDS covering The Cure songs...MTV ICON

asshole

[pruane2fornever]

Care to explain why?

[cpoeonlimsan1977]

i like this version

i think both versions bring something different to the table

[patinvolador]

vaya manera de estrozar un clasico madre mia, el

tono sicodelico que le da cure es unico, a parte

que va demasiado acelerada

[dbcmgirl]

wellll actually i think the did an awesome job....make love not war come on ppl

[8deadboysx]

why the fuck does everyone have to argue about 'which version is better' you should appreciate the song for what it is, and appreciate the artists for what they do. and ALSO appreciate that fact that everyone has different tastes. it's not better, or worse than the cures version. it's just DIFFERENT.

[anant12345]

Can I get an AMEN!

[jruwing]

amen, fa' real

[missjade075]

Amen^

[cameland]

amen

[alexmejia26]

those who dare to compare this cover with The Cure's original must be 15 years old "emos" or something like that 'cause someone who knows what The Cure is, or at least knows a bit of music just wouldn't do such a comparison

[JuniorChavez]

lol nice try blink, stick to punk. =]

[Davidfaergsdk]

It's not that bad. Not just as good as Cure's.

But i would love to play this version live!

[DiGzBliNk182]

man somebody needs 2 kidnap mark hoppus & tom delonge (barker is always there) & tie them down in chairs & just play vids of blink having fun like every clip & picture EVER till they fuckin give in & realize that they're meant 2 b BLINK till they fuckin die... this lil break was good now get those motherfuckers back 2 blink!

now whoever read that keep postin comments like that EVERYWHERE & spread the word til it creeps through 2 someone who actually knows where 2 get those fucks. & does it!

[RCbasher07]

i want a recorded version of this song.. by blink

[DiGzBliNk182]

ya,that wud b kickass

[eliseeliseeliseelise]

haha yeah i wish...

[ChunkableSkate]

the cure sings it better but this version is ok but not as passionate

[DiGzBliNk182]

may i remind..you their live,lol

[eliseeliseeliseelise]

travis is sooo nasty at drums. wow i miss blink-182

[insertithere]

its a cover people not the exact same shit i would like you see you assholes pick up a guitar and play.. blink 182 will always be the best
