BLINK 182 SHALLOW (UNWRITTEN LAW COVER)

[bsheffield87]

This is a live punk show from back in '95. Of course the quality is gonna be shit. They had probably JUST released Cheshire Cat. But who cares? It's punk.

[UkXtremeUk]

UL are far better than blink..

[alexhead88]

this is all time!!back when blink were cool playin one of the best songs evafrom the greatest bands eva!!

[scion6221]

For those that remember/were old enough to remember---both bands came out around the same time and both were from the San Diego Area----Blink even mentioned "UL and DHC" in one of their songs...its not a stretch to have Blink cover a UL song but it is pretty badass--"My girlfriend like UL and DHC (Dance Hall Crashers) for the kiddies

[bigturtlewalker]

@scion6221 actually the original members of both bands came from the same neighborhoods; Rancho Bernardo and Poway. I went to high school with members from both bands.

[scion6221]

@bigturtlewalker true that--thats what i was referring to---loved ULs first album but sadly went sour after that for me

[njdkidd1231]

UL could never EVER pull off a blink cover

[sanitysvoid]

I remember seeing Blink182 flyers all over phone polls and transformers all over poway back in the day.

[jUiCiiBaBii69]

yuck!!!! fuck those guys they butchered my boys song!!!!

[testnumberone1]

@jUiCiiBaBii69 how did they butcher it? its a fucking cover! and its not too damn bad if you ask me

[STELLARETOILES]

SOMA in SAN Diego Rocked!!!!! Korn was awesome there too b4 they became known many great acoustics in soma with many awesome bands I was there event Stone Temple Piolots did a gig there One of their videos was filmed at Soma

[rissx]

how old is this video? mark and tom look like little kids and not the 39 year olds they are now

[pob123]

@rissx its 15 years old, from july 1995

[GoldfenixYoshi]

Total destruction to a great UL song. it makes me flinch when he starts singing, its so flat, and the sound quality is an elephant ass

[JustDifferentMusic]

Man, I miss those days. The music back then was way better than nowadays. Would be great if bands like blink or Unwritten Law would still sound like that.

Must have been a great feeling to see them live @ SOMA.

[osfbass]

@JustDifferentMusic there are still great bands but most people dont come out to shows. Check out one short fall (NJ) or the headies or tit patrol (del), hellfish (NY) or anything geoff useless (NH) does! if you really like this stuff come support us!

[mrskyeguy]

blink used to be my favourite band, lmao

[theneverburningfire]

Who cares if its punk or not

[LogSNES]

This is a good cover, but the sound is shit

[modestrob12]

say what you want. The only fact though is that neither blink-182 or Unwritten Law play music like they did in the 90's.

[Wannabeaver]

Hm, I don't get why people always have to argue about true punk on vids like this.

And to stop it:

As far as I know blink never pretended themselves to be punk.

Fact is, their music is hardly influenced by Punk and somewhere in between Punkrock/Rock with a blend of pop.

Do I hear an amen?

[loserkidshc182]

@Wannabeaver amen

[alido2boord]

@Wannabeaver amen

[danchrimy3]

In my opinion I like Blink-182 better than UL but they are both amazing bands. Seen them both live and are both awesome. People bashing Blink need to STFU cause you don't know what you're talking about.

[RacoonCH]

this cover is awesome but also the only on the net.

[kingoftheworld656564]

where can i download this on mp3?

[necr0sys]

Hmm, why do some people hate bands like Green Day, Blink, Fallout Boy being referred to as punk? Because those are the bands that have made punk nothing more than a fashion, another money making fad...punk rock has never been about popularity, money etc it has always been about individualism and void of things society deems favourable.

[austinb7861]

You know marks voice really sucked back in the day but now its so much better. Love this song, this must have been like when they first started out.

[newtype1089]

listen first of punk rock was a movement and in it's truest sinc eit's been dead for years now as a tyoe of music blink is as punk as any other surviving punk pop so be it pop punk but is it dostorted? check simple chords? check awesoem drumming? check then that's punk rock to me but with pop lyrics

[kalaVASSI]

it should've been great to be there..

u_u

[SecretCrowds44]

ok people first of all blink and UL are good friends, as they both started around the same time so people saying UL shd do blah blah blah not gonna happen.

and this looks like very early blink.. they wernt the best at the begining of their band haha but they were still awesome

[streeteffective]

I was head of mainstage security at the "old" & the "new" soma. 99% of all bands there sucked. The venue was so hot people would faint from heat exaustion and the accoustics were so bad that the sound on the video is what even the best bands that played there sounded like. The owner is dousch-bag too.

[tjd182]

Isn't Scott raynor now the owner of SOMA or part owner? I heard that somewhere.

[readingkills]

man they were off key almost the whole song! Killed it! Thank christ they broke up. leave the rockin up to the pros, bitches

[borat12eron]

fuck you..its punk rock..and back then they were in theyre earlier stages as a garage band.and they were the best band unitl they broke up.

[readingkills]

HAHA!! You stupid kid. If you think blink is punk rock, then you have no idea what REAL PUNK ROCK is. You're probably one of those gay little white boys listening to Adam song and crying in your mansion that your daddy doesn't love you. haha. Go back to the valley man!

[borat12eron]

haha..fine retard tell me what real punk rock is.your probebly one of those douchebags who thinks your soo cool but u really have no friends.and dont even talk u worthless puddle of urine,you dont even know me.go complain about something else on the internet.lol.you probebly have two dads that dont even love you.

[puregenius09]

aww.. poor kid is so defensive. this is pop punk. relative to the ramones, the clash, etc.

[alypaige88]

yeah lol. blink was never really straight up punk rock. omg i get so sick of people trying to tell me they were...they're freakin pop-punk/rock. always have been. shit it isn't complicated at all

[Weezertheshizz]

i think the fact that you say there is real punk rock is sad...because if punk is something you have to fit into than YOU my friend dont kno what punk is...its about doin what you want.....that was a good example of kids you used though

[ipathbomb92]

couldn't understand a damn word he has saying for the entire song, good god, should have been left alone

[redzecool]

UL,, kick them out the stage... and don't ignore them to playing your song because its sucks

[ypus]

UL will allways be better, but blink 's allright too...

[loserkidshc182]

@ypus FU

[ryanthc]

wow that s really cool... i think blink182 is cooler for playing UL

[Nes0freak]

lol! "nice" song.... UL kicks ur ass! Leave their songs alone.

[AussieGuy]

Unwritten Law

Blink 182

The Ataris

Sum 41

GreenDay

MatchBox 20

ahhh the good old bands :(

[manjisamura]

i used to like both of the bands but now eh

[machinesbreathe]

Agreed.

[inael]

are you from poway? XD

[footloof10]

Unwritten Law kicks their ass

[nemanjaP]

unwritten law is better then blink could have ever hoped to be GO UNWRITTEN LAW!!!

[lannerz182]

yeah and thats why blink 182 is forty times as famous as them...that makes sense.

[pennywisekmk]

dude youre a dumbass for thinking that because one band is more famous than another that that makes them a better band. I hate fucking retard morons like you, go listen to your top 40 bullshit

[lannerz182]

oh please you ignorant dumbass....i was replying to the asshole above me who completely discredited a band who was FAMOUS...therefore, HIS statement makes no sense. If you think all i listen to is "top forty bullshit" then get your shit straight...i didnt say that it was the fact that they were famous that made them better...i said that the fact that they were famous meant they didnt suck...i listen to plenty of shit that no one else does so shut your mouth.

[pennywisekmk]

oh so now if you're famous you don't suck? HAHAHAH!!! so people like Milli Vanilli, Ashlee SImpson, and bands that cant even play their instruments like panic at the disco dont suck simply because theyre famous? Dude what are you 12.

[lannerz182]

oh please, youre such an ass...all those bands obviously blow...you get what im trying to say, you just feel like being ignorant and arguing.

[proceedapathy]

alright children calm down!!

[UgLyEmOChIcK]

fuck i miss these guys they remind me of a better time

[AlikWTF]

cover wasnt played bad sucker i play on guitar and sing and i know it better! anyway i love blink182 the same live UL but my opionion is - blink rules!!!!

[honkeylips27]

Honestly, blink sucks. In it for the money, got thier money, and then called it quits. Blink is about as punk as Owen Wilson

[laike182]

you obviously don't know anything about them. they were in it for their fans and their love of music. they took a hiatus and tom delonge decided he wanted a different sound then blink so they broke up. now they are in 2 different bands and still making awesome music not for the money but for their love of their music and their fans. next time do a little research before bashing anything you don't know about.

[Redsoxxplayer]

You obviously don't know anything about Owen Wilson my friend, cuz he is punk at its finest

[cujocricket]

i like both bands but this song sucks

[sdca182]

two great bands.

[RicardoSanchez182]

BLINK 182 is the best band of the whole fucking world!!

[tel328]

Glad this is on here. I love Blink and Unwritten Law, plus I live right by SOMA. Awesome history.

[kmk4for2life0]

unwritten law is the best fucking band ever and these poser punk bitches Blink 182 did a horrible cover

[dontchokeonwords]

the best ul song by the best band ever. ahhh this is awesome!

[PENNYWISE69696969]

corection blink are sell outs there not punk any more they suck ass...and tis is the worst cover ive eva heard the wrecked unwriten laws song

[paulwall08]

i think the sound quality is just sucky, it prolly sounded better live
