a little comparison of Tom Delonges live vocals and Matt Skibas live vocals. enjoy! :) #blink182 #tomdelonge #mattskiba #markhoppus #blink #live #tour #reunion
I loved Blink with Matt. I think California and NINE are excellent albums. I honestly wish they would have given him an offer to stay with the band when Tom rejoined.
I feel like Matt is one of the best punk vocalists when he’s singing Alkaline Trio songs, but trying to emulate Tom’s vocals is hard for just about anyone.
Tom sings Blinks song as they were intended to be sung; Tom has a unique voice, in a realm of its own. His voice is not everyone yet I love it and hearing Matt with Mark and Travis is like hearing a different band. This is coming from someone who has listened to Blink since Cheshire Cat; I also have a Blink 182 tattoo; I am a hardcore Blink fan
Agreed. I can’t believe some people are saying blink is Matt, mark and Travis like? Matt is okay and it’s great what he did to help but it’s not blink without Tom. I’m also a hardcore fan and been listening my whole life basically. I’m so excited I get ti see them in concert this year with Tom again!
Agreed, Tom’s voice has always been super unique, and the combination with Mark was just magic. Matt is fantastic in his own right but his like, “normal” voice doesn’t work as well in those specific songs as Tom’s unique voice.
Violence - 0:06 Matt 0:27 Tom Dammit - 1:06 Matt 1:24 Tom Up all night - 1:59 Matt 2:31 Tom I miss you - 2:58 Matt 3:40 Tom All the small things - 5:03 Matt 5:36 Tom
I think Matt got waaaay to much hate when he was in Blink. He kept the band together and filled in for Tom just really good! Of course Tom sounds "better" when singing Blink songs, because he is the one we listened to for years. Would be awesome if blink includes one Alkaline Trio Song in Future setlists sung by Mark and maybe Tom to thank Matt and respect him. :)
The dichotomy of mark's steady normal singing voice and Tom's all over the place (even more so as his career has progressed) unique voice (which i've always said sounds like he managed to sing in a british accent) really are what brought the magic sound to Blink. Matt has a great voice and to me he would be a great replacement for Mark's vocals but Tom is frankly irreplaceable to keep the Blink sound. That said I haven't hated the albums with Matt I just didn't think they were really Blink. Also blink live performances never sounded anything like their studio albums because Tom's all over the place is controlled to be all over the place in a specific way for each song in those environments. For some that obviously matters.
I absolutely love Tom’s mature voice (like Neighborhoods). It’s still got that distinct nasal twang but somehow deeper and smoother. And when he left, I was prepared to dislike Matt. I have to say though, while the music had a different feel, some of the Matt songs are my favorite blink songs! I love Nine! Honestly, what’s important is that both of their vocals complement Mark’s perfectly in different ways. So many people talk about how you can’t have blink-182 without Tom, but really, Mark’s the key piece. His voice has aged so well too.
The reason why i like this band is because of Tom's voice and style when he sing a song. Matt is very consistent. It's good. But Tom's voice is Punk voices. Tom create a color in Punk scene with his style. That's an art!
I see a ton of support for Tom and I "get it" Brian did hella wonders for a long stretch of AC/DC but they will always be Bon Scott and the younger Young bros to me, well younger than George, haha .With Blink I just wasn't that into them However, a friend from Wisconsin I lived with at the time they got Skiba and put out California, she had on in her van exclusively all the time wherever we, that album was playing and she was so excited because she was a HUGE fan of Alkaline Trio even more than Blink which she was also a big fan of Point is, by the constant subjection to that album, I actually grew to like Blink, I must admit, Cynical is one of my all-time favorite songs, she's out her mind as well, especially the video, omg that shit is hotter than porn, with 3 smokin babes that all played their parts perfectly, hell yeah. So I have to say Matt, but the real anchor here, who should get the foo fighter award for being the absolute fashizzle I'd Barker, maybe one of the top ten rock drummers of all time, dudes a savage beast on dem beats and bro goes hard af, right off the rip and barely ever slow for us to catch our breath, much less for himself. And now he producing rap artists? Dude....
Matt Skiba is a rock solid singer and can still nail it in the studio and on some of the blink songs you can tell he was into he did pretty well too. I really like Matt's take on Down. That being said. He was basically a hired gun in blink. Look up some slightly older Alkaline Trio shows to see him in his prime.
@@gizmo359c do what every band does when "replacing" a singer - pick someone who sounds exactly like the original singer. Matt is honestly a worse vocalist too, which is hard to believe following Tom.
Let’s see Tom sing a tours worth of Alkaline Trio songs, and then compare. At least the two guys seem to respect each other. I personally would not be in a band where the guy flakes out and goes to chase aliens
Blink 182 wasn't about the skill Of how the songs are played ,but about their unique vocals and songs in general. It's what keeps the nostalgia alive .they should of of just gave the skiba times a different band name just like they did with +44. Tom and mark Melodies equate to the blink sound.
When Tom’s at his best then it’s the ultimate version of blink. Sadly, post-2009 comeback he was hardly ever at his best and some performances are semi painful to watch. Hopefully this time around he’s actually motivated and puts in the effort because when that happens it’s magic.
Old Tom sounds like young Nick Jonas live just trying his hardest to hit notes he really was lucky to hit in studio, personally I think Skiba did mostly fine since his voice isnt really near as thin as Toms and is a completely different timbre.
It makes sense that they perform better on the ones they wrote (not the other''s) but I think Matt did an incredible job and his era is my favourite for Blink
Personally toms voice is dynamic and goes up down and out he uses his whole mouth and throat for his vocals where as Matt’s voice is very flat and dry but that’s what happens when you try to fill the gap of someone with a much different and unique vocal structure but at the end of the day the tom the GOAT is back
Matt skiba worked a incredibly difficult job and held it down and did fantastic, Tom is a complete legend happy he’s back playing music even if it’s not 2004 anymore
👍🏼😎 loved all versions of the songs they are both really amazing singers. Will miss Matt 😕 not in blink-182 anymore but I’m happy Tom’s back it’s kinda not been the same without him in the band.🫠
How is Matt supposed to sound correct/like Tom, Tom basically talks with a funny accent in his songs, so that can’t really be duplicated, or compared to singing lol a fill in can never replace an og once a song is familiar.
Matt is a much more talented and consistent singer in general. Tom’s voice is just so unique and recognizable that after having it for all those years, it’s hard to have such a drastic tonal change like there was with matt skiba. Still loved the songs they did with him. They’re both great
It’s pretty clear that Matt’s voice is a great fit AK3. Obviously toms fits blink but it’s annoying that everyone gives Tom a pass for sounding like literally ass. I’m a diehard blink fan but I’d pissed if I payed to see blink live from 2011-2014 with toms voice.
I love how you’ve done a comparison of Tom’s old and new voices compared with Matt that proves to me how much better I think Tom’s voice than Matt’s he lost his voice about a decade ago or more
i definitely liked matt in the band. California came out the summer before my senior year of high school and legitimately brought me so much joy. It's just tough when the DNA of those songs are inherently Tom.
Tom nasceu para o Blink e tem anos de experiência, Matt teve que se adaptar ao Blink, infelizmente não se pode comparar. O tom está anos luz na frente.
Blink songs don't include enough references to demons and murder for Matt's style 😂🖤 Matt and Alk3 are legendary and I'm glad they're both back in their respective bands. Matt's old voice pre-surgery would have prob fit Blink a bit more.
Both Matt and Tom could benefit from Autotune🫢 But Matt deserves credit. Anyone who fill in for an original has to be brave. Bringing their own style without copying the other singer. Not easy. Thanks to Matt. Welcome back Tom.
I gotta be honest, I think Matt's voice was at its peak slightly before he joined blink, but ever since he joined blink his voice severely went down hill (but not the worst of his career, that would actually go to Alkaline Trio's early days when his voice was practically gone at one point). Also, like Tom, Matt sings some songs better or worse than others.
I think when he joined up with blink-182 was when he started to cut back on smoking and go clean. That’s probably why we saw a bit of a drop in his vocal quality.
I loved Matt's voice when it was fucked back in the "Good Mourning" days. Their early albums are still (and always will be) in regular rotation for me.
@@dginski7 I did too, but that was because he was able to make the most of it in the studio and do as many takes as he needed. There were times around that era live where his voice was practically gone and would break a lot.
Respect for Matt, but I believe that Brian Sella from The Front Bottoms would have been a more suitable replacement for Tom. I still can’t believe I’m the only person (that I know of) who has had that independent thought. A few people have agreed with me though.
I've been a fan and follower of Blink182 since I was 14, I'm now 39. It's hard for me to get use to Matt's voice, because I'm used to Tom's unique whine. Not giving Matt a big thumbs up would be unfair. Although, he may not have been my first choice, he does his best, and I can't hate on that!
I was born in 1989 and grew up on Blink. All the respect in the world to this other gentleman, but it’s the Mark, Tom and Travis show til the death of me.
Of course we think Tom is better cause he's the original but can we stop for a second to think how much Matt contributed to the band? He literally saved them. I love Tom Delonge, and I love Matt Skiba too.
I you Matt, bit Tom is the leeding voice of Blink 182 (old songs) and you will be The leading voice of the new eara, get weel Mark and keep smaching Barker!
As a rhcp fan I respect the fact that Tom sings Matt songs, that's something John Frusciante will never do, play Josh songs or Dave Navarro or anyone else. It probably seems strange to Tom since it is his band, but he manages to do it and he does it with great professionalism. Regarding the voice, nothing to say, Tom is the voice of blink 182
Huge blink fan. Respect to Matt for his contributions in Tom's absence, but the band just wasn't the same without him. When Tom left, I thought they could have found a way better replacement, there had to be a lot of way better options out there just jumping at the chance to be a part of blink.
Genuinely prefer Skiba, live and recorded. Even the albums, in terms of song writing quality, are pretty even. I am sure nostalgia and affiliation with something from childhood skews the viewpoint sometimes.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Matt and his voice is one of my most favorites ever, and while he does sound better than Tom in some of these, others can just only be Tom. Like certain songs were just made for his voice. I love him too.
It’s amazing he didn’t since with more of Tom’s inflections though- I only sing along to blink like Tom. I didn’t think it could be done any other way hahahha

I fuckin' love this guy for that, Alkaline Trio was legendary, but what he did for keep blink alive with two (three) great albuns was legendary too.
Facts 💯
I loved Blink with Matt. I think California and NINE are excellent albums.
I honestly wish they would have given him an offer to stay with the band when Tom rejoined.
Idk why I'm even here
Alkaline Trio were decent tho
I’d rather them breakup lmao
I feel like Matt is one of the best punk vocalists when he’s singing Alkaline Trio songs, but trying to emulate Tom’s vocals is hard for just about anyone.
I would love to see Tom try and sing a song Matt wrote. I think they both deserve a ton of respect.

No comparison. You can tell their Tom's songs and sound best when he sings them.
Tom’s Old Voice is Goat
Tom has attitude in his voice its a whole era behind his voice..Matt just sounds like an UK punk without any attitude..Nothing special..Tom is King
Tom grew up on UK punk he would 100% disagree with you.

And how else would you listen to blink 182?!
British sounding it ain't, unique it definitely is.
Way more blink than neighborhoods was
tom has dirt
its no contest. Toms voice is blink

Exactly
Seriously
And guitat
Guitar
There is really no comparison. Tom will always be the sound of Blink.
exactly dude i prefer tom than matt to be honest
Absolutely!!!!
blink with matt = sound like some random guy singing blink's karaoke song.
Facts dude can’t sing for shit
Agreed. He was way off key in the audio of these concerts.
The energy is different when Tom sings.
I think the other members doesn't feel the same feeling.
Matt doesn't give 100 percent when he's singing live. He saves his voice for the studio.
Lmao so what you're saying is Tom has the voice of an Angel live?
I think Tom’s voice is still better. Matt’s voice feels flat, almost like he’s shouting.
I agree there. At least for the live performances. Buuuut Skiba has some crazy range for his Trio stuff.
Tom got a little autotune tho
Before Matt joined the band, I wanted to hear him do a studio quality cover of Even If Hse Falls.
Let’s see Tom sing a tours worth of Alkaline Trio songs, and then compare. At least the two guys seem to respect each other. I personally would not be in a band where the guy flakes out and goes to chase aliens
"Old voice Tom" kicks Matt's and new Tom's voices inside my yead.
I think Matt Skiba sounds a lot better in the studio than he does live. Well, I guess that can pretty much apply to Tom as well now
tom sounds like ass live lets be honest lol
Difference is, Skiba always sounds better vocally live...and for that, there's no comparison.
Blink 182 wasn't about the skill
Of how the songs are played ,but about their unique vocals and songs in general. It's what keeps the nostalgia alive .they should of of just gave the skiba times a different band name just like they did with +44. Tom and mark Melodies equate to the blink sound.
+44!!! ❤❤❤❤
Right, once and for all. Blink is not blink without Tom.
I’d like to hear Skiba with Hoppus and Delonge!
(and Barker of course!)
When Tom’s at his best then it’s the ultimate version of blink. Sadly, post-2009 comeback he was hardly ever at his best and some performances are semi painful to watch. Hopefully this time around he’s actually motivated and puts in the effort because when that happens it’s magic.
Tom all the way
I think it would be weird singing someone else’s lyrics in a band where the person left.
Right?? I always wondered what that would be like! And will Tom now also sing the Matt songs when they tour?
I think it's weird. Look at Journey. It's definitely not the same. Respect to Matt for keeping the band going. Tom should sing his songs
Old Tom sounds like young Nick Jonas live just trying his hardest to hit notes he really was lucky to hit in studio, personally I think Skiba did mostly fine since his voice isnt really near as thin as Toms and is a completely different timbre.
Matt's version of i miss you if one of my favorites. Tom's voice is the blink i grew up with and will always prefer for that reason.
on top of everything, I think you can really hear if someone sings and plays his own stuff and his lyrics, or just covering. Its just never the same.
Old: every one hands up.
Now: every one phone up

Not a Matt fan, but he kept blink together instead of fading away and never getting the chance to reunite. Much respect 🤙🏼

I've been listening since Buddha, it doesn't make me a blink guru or nothing like that but there's no denying that Tom's got the better voice.
Matt undoubtedly has the better voice and significantly better singing capabilities. Tom is simply the voice of the band.
4:28 to be fair, this was either with auto-tune/ after-effects added
Tom era 👍 Matt era 👍 both deserve their credit

Thank goodness for Matt as I have seen blink 4 times 3 with Tom and once with Matt but blink is definitely Tom Travis and Mark!
Anyone else notice how one is named Thomas Matthew and the other is named Matthew Thomas. Same first and middle names just in different orders.
