I actually think that'd be pretty hard depending on what era. Replicating dookie would be pretty easy I think, but their newer stuff like uno, dos, tre? I have no idea how to get those tones personally.
Almost all Pop Punk bands that came after early 90s were ripping off Green Day. So I guess figuring out Green Day could simultaneously teach us My Chemical Romance's guitar tones too.
On the beggining: Everything I ve written in here are based on my own experiences. Im not Tom and Im not responsible for the mistakes* I ve made. Its just kind of my own recipe. Tom DeLonge's tone is quite straight for different era's: 1. Cheshire Cat, Dude Ranch - Superstrat with Invaders -> Marshall JCM900 (high bass and high treble, mid on low, presence on quite half), Marshall cab. No pedals etc. 2. Enema of the state - Fender Stratocaster with Invaders -> Marshall JCM900 + Mesa Boogie Triple Recto (Marshall has this "string tone" and Mesa adds this thickness [eq for Mesa: G: dependable B:4 M:5 T:7 P: Dependable (i prefer 3 but 8 is cool as well) V: dependable (i use 6)]) 3. Take off your pants and jacket (And Box Car Racer era) - Strat with Invaders -> Mesa Boogie (the same eq as previous). Then he started to use first flangers and stuff like that. 4. Self-Titled - Gibson ES-333 Tom DeLonge's Signature loaded with Dirty Fingers -> Mesa Boogie Triple Recto (he gave up on high gain, used more of loudness of the amp instead of its gain). Used a lot of different pedals. Mostly delays and flangers. There is one exception. For the song named "Obvious" he used his Fender Toranado or Jazzmaster loaded with Invader (its baritone guitar, 3 semitones lower than E Standard tuning). 5. Early AvA - the same as Self-Titled. 6. Late AvA - nowadays - he started to use Vox AC30 for his overdriven sound (he used 2 of them). I cant figure out the eq (yet) but it goes kinda like his Mesa EQ but there is lack of something. He use as well MXR Overdrive pedal (dont know which exactly but it gives cool dist). For clean sounds he is using Fender Twin Reverb or Fender Deluxe Verb (cant remember with exactly). Eq is as on Vox I think. Guitar: Gibson ES-333 Tom DeLonge's signature. * - by mistakes I mean differeneces between the truth and the stuff which I ve written for you ;d
@@reservoirfrogs2671 I guess he gave up on some of the high freqs because its sounds much darker, much more balanced but yet still it might be caused by something else.
While recording Enema especially, Tom used a Gibson Les Paul with an invader in the bridge to record most songs. Following this he more often than not used one of Jerry Finn's guitars. I'd also like to join the small majority who want you to do this BY busting the bank.
Innit Though? I previously thought he used a Les Paul on Enema, but now I’m not so sure. The more I listen, the more I realise it is an unmistakable Fender sound on Enema; quite twangy and possibly a Strat or Tele (I think he used Jerry Finn’s guitars on Enema, Take Off and Untitled). One way to tell is if you listen to the Enema version of Mutt, and then side-by-side you listen to the American Pie version (it’s very similar but slightly different) you can clearly hear that the American Pie version is a Dude Ranch-era Les Paul whereas Enema is a more twangy sounding Fender. It’s this that’s made me second guess the Les Paul on Enema theory.
not a bad job but like you said, you really needed that invader pickup. or you could have even gone with his signature epiphone with the dirty fingers. either way toms tone was a lot fatter and less trebly then what i'm hearing here.
Yeah, especially the Dude Range tone sound much thicker, high gain Boogie tone. The tone on the next two albums always kinda baffled me, because it sounds so snappy with a good deal of treble/high mids yet retains a lot of bottom end. I guess it's just a great polished sound with the right choice of amps. I think they should have gone with a Blackstar. It has great modern gain sounds and the ISF control seems perfect to blend those British and American tones. Or do you think the Invader is the secret ingredient?
I'm actually AMAZED they did this one. Not the most complicated of tones, and not really the typical type of stuff you would expect on the channel. Mad props for expanding out and listening to your fan base!
Forgot how great of a memory I've associated with 'All the Small Things' until I heard the riff. My school does a senior breakfast where teachers perform and do skits. One group of teachers formed a cover band and played at the very end. Their last song was a cover of that song and my friends and I looked at eachother like "we're seniors, they're not gonna do anything because we're graduating in a few days. Let's do something crazy" and that's the story of how I stage dived and started a mosh pit in the middle of my gym and almost got senior breakfast cancelled for every future class. Best memory of high school
As I'm in a band that does blink-182 covers. I managed to get a "tom delonge/matt skiba esque" rig relatively easy; I had an old yamaha pacifica lying around - took out the pickups and put a warman 12 gauge in the bridege Got myself a blackstar id260 tvp - super crunch 6l6 setting works PERFECTLY! Im chuffed and total spent £200 on the amp - old friend bargain, think the guitar cost £80 - ages ago and a further £80 on guitar upgrades
Tom's tones during Enema incorporated a clean channel turned up to 10 blended with a more traditional gain channel. With that said, you guys absolutely nailed this with gear that cost probably 1/10 of what he paid for his tone. Kudos! All of these "sounds like" segments have been dead on.
Man, the comments in these videos. It's never a discussion of the actual video people just watched, it's just people requesting what they want them to do next. :-/ Anyway, they got pretty close with this one. Like they mentioned, old school Tom used to blend those Marshall and Mesa Boogie amps, and here they are with this little Bass Breaker pulling it off (great amp.) Also the JB, it's got quite a bit different sound profile than the Invader, but they still managed to get close due to the amp.. although it's still got that sharp high-mid spike of the JB.
+dasdw asdwadw that might be true but since they didn't stopped playing old songs in that era one would hope that it would work. But good point none the less.
I'd do a Mexi Strat, an Ac10, Small Stone, Blues Driver, Dyna Comp, holy grail, Carbon copy delay, some vibrato pedal, and maybeee a Giga delay if you have cash left over.
How the hell is an $800 guitar not considered breaking the bank? Dude, if you're 13 or 50 that's a serious investment. It is a beautiful guitar, though.
John Koch Exactly, im 14 and the most expensive thing I can dream of buying is a epiphone les Paul standard and even that takes a long time to save up fot
I love these vids. If shipping was free to the U.S. I'd buy overseas just to support. Sometimes I think people forget a lot of bands have an entire group of people behind their studio and live sounds. But regardless, thanks for showing off gear in different applications.
thatd be cool! its a pretty easy tone though. american idiot era: epiphone or cheap gibson with p90s, marshall, blues driver. same thing for 90s green day but with a strat with humbuckers instead
That may be true but Green Day is by far the more evolved band of the two. I think blink is aimed at the people born in the mid to late 90's where I was born late 80's so grew up with the like of Green Day, Bad Religion, New Found Glory Bowling For Soup and The Offspring. Not that Blink 182 were a bad band far from it I just think that they only got famous for being naked.
This was my entire junior high and high school years. I love every single album of theirs. Goal is to meet them. Especially travis barker. He lived in my city for years
Ever since I sold my Marshall head and cab, I switched to strictly Orange heads and cabs or combos. I downsized my guitar collection to a Fender Mexi Strat SSS, an EVH Wolfgang Standard HH FR, a Squier Jim Root Tele HH HT, and a ESP LTD GL200MT H FR, I've been able to get any tone. It's all relatively cheap gear too. The Squier was 350, the LTD was 300, the EVH was 545, the Strat was 499, the combo was 230, and the amp head and cab I got on a bundle for 750. My pedal board is a Fender Marine Layer Reverb, King Wah, Whammy DT, Friedman BE OD, and a Carbon Copy. It took time to get. But you could cut out the Jim Root, the LTD, and the combo, you still have a fairly priced solid rig. So if you went EVH, Orange head and cab, delay and OD, that's $1600 for a VERY gigable and versatile rig. You want single coil, neck pickup roll off the tone. Humbucker, tone up any pickup. Crushing distortion is there along with beautiful cleans, and hell you could cut out the OD and save 200. Hoped this helped.
I am fucking giddy right now, this is just excellent guys, really awesome! How about the drums? Heh, might be a little bit more then getting the kit right to sound like that drum god lol. awesome vidja guys!
It's a cool album yeah, but my personal favourite is Enema of the State, because it was their first album with Travis Barker, who is a total badass on drums
+E RamCrom Yeah, those two are probably my two favourite blink albums because of their "best known" songs like All The Small Things, What's My Age Again (One of the funniest music videos I've ever seen), Aliens Exist and First Date, but I will admit that Dammit is a really good song as well
I always thought that self titled was their biggest step away from their core sound (mall core, skate punk w/e you wanna call it) and the essence that even make Blink 182 so liked/popular. It seems like from then on they only kept taking bigger steps away. It's also why people seem to dig the new album so much, in that it sounds like Enema Of The State, Take Off Your Pants, and Dude Ranch, instead of sounding like Self titled, Neighbourhoods, and Dogs eating dogs. But, to each their own~
If there hasn't been a Sound Like Weezer yet, then there should definetley be one done for their Blue-Pinkerton era. Some awesome tones on both of those albums.
The amp would almost certainly be a Bugera 1960 Inifinium (£348.36 from Thomann), as it has a dedicated input for the Marshall 1959 “one wire mod”: cascaded gain. You can also save some money by ignoring the aesthetics of the guitar: the most accurate production model would be the Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 (£728 from Andertons, though their site does not show the 3). The really hard part will be the speaker, as he used Altec 417-8H speakers in his Marshall 4x12s. Regarding effects, from Andertons… MXR M104 Distortion Plus: £72 MXR M108 10 Band EQ: £119 Jim Dunlop Original GCB95 Wah: £74 MXR EVH117 Eddie Van Halen Flanger (as MXR no longer makes their standard flanger): £169 Boss DM2w WAZA Craft Delay (the Korg delay he used is out of production): £129 Adding a Harley Bention G212V from Thomann, such that selling on the Vintage 30s can fund suitable speakers, brings the total to £1,918.71.
if rabea can pull off randy he will officially reach guitar god status! it wouldn't really surprise me because he's got a reputation for being able to sound like almost anybody, but not even zakk wylde could do it and the guy actually worked for ozzy. o.O
Josh Watney Not true, the song contains clean guitar amongst the bass solo intro, couple of different guitar riffs, bridge and the rest of the parts have power chords. The parts where power chords are used cover about the half of the song. And notice also that there are two versions of Carousel by blink-182.
Josh Watney Well that would be the intro. I don't know what you mean by lead bass with the most of the song. The bass isn't doing anything that would be different from normal bass playing. I think lead bass can be therefore heard only in the intro and the part before the bridge. And that isn't the majority of the song.
+zues2013 mate they play rock am ring, do you think I shit band would play that. obviously it's subject to opinion and I respect yours but there are so many people who think they are the bomb
Did you know that when Tom delonge heard Matt Skiba's band Alkaline Trio for the first time, he rewrote blink songs because he was inspired by Matt Skiba? Theres a 2004 warped tour interview where he says that, it's on youtube. There's also videos of him singing alkaline trio songs backstage. Just so all the Skiba haters know, Tom Delonge even likes Skiba, and enough to where cat like theif by boxcar sounds a lot like "you've got so far to go", def inspired. TOM AND MATT ARE FRIENDS
I have two suggestions for sounds like. I think Muse, My Chemical Romance, and Kings of Leon would all be great ones. they're tones are all unique, and I would love to know how Kings Of Leon gets their solo tones, because they are amazing. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it
For joe use a Fender Telecaster, or a squier classic vibe and for Don who i know more a bout, cheap gibson les paul or epiphone les paul, Fender Hotrod Deluxe or Blues JR, boss chorus ensemble, some kind of distortion and maybe a talkbox
Tbh guys I'm a big Blink 182 fan of the same era you were working on here and yeah, I think you nailed lads! And you're British also awesome work. Big T
Don't know why anyone would have a hard time figuring out their sound. Still love the video, but would love the hear something a little more complex to figure out. Oh well.
Yeah I dont think they really nailed it! Too much mid range fuzziness. I think either a DSL15 or any of the lower end modern high gain stuff would of worked better. I reckon they need to do busting the bank and cover all the eras. Triple Rectifier (or even a mini rec), something with Invaders, a few fx not many needed though
Love that late 90's to early 2000's Punk rock, Alternative and most any music around that era miss that stuff bad. Its a shame that all the rawness and sound of it all has faded away to everything being watered down and filtered to what we now hear on the radio. The world changes but I never will.
Sound like sepultura early and later would be a intresting challenge im my opinion. Even though im not at all a blink fan its awesome to hear what goes into their sound. Good work.
It would really help me out if you guys did one for Rise Against. Love the videos! Keep up the good work! I don't have a lot of money so these videos help me find out which gear is good without going broke.
you should redo this
sound like Blink 182 BY busting the bank
It's called angels and airwaves without busting the bank.
Or you could just google search their actual gear and sum up the costs

I feel like green day would be the easiest
I actually think that'd be pretty hard depending on what era. Replicating dookie would be pretty easy I think, but their newer stuff like uno, dos, tre? I have no idea how to get those tones personally.

On the beggining: Everything I ve written in here are based on my own experiences. Im not Tom and Im not responsible for the mistakes* I ve made. Its just kind of my own recipe.
Tom DeLonge's tone is quite straight for different era's:
1. Cheshire Cat, Dude Ranch - Superstrat with Invaders -> Marshall JCM900 (high bass and high treble, mid on low, presence on quite half), Marshall cab. No pedals etc.
2. Enema of the state - Fender Stratocaster with Invaders -> Marshall JCM900 + Mesa Boogie Triple Recto (Marshall has this "string tone" and Mesa adds this thickness [eq for Mesa: G: dependable B:4 M:5 T:7 P: Dependable (i prefer 3 but 8 is cool as well) V: dependable (i use 6)])
3. Take off your pants and jacket (And Box Car Racer era) - Strat with Invaders -> Mesa Boogie (the same eq as previous). Then he started to use first flangers and stuff like that.
4. Self-Titled - Gibson ES-333 Tom DeLonge's Signature loaded with Dirty Fingers -> Mesa Boogie Triple Recto (he gave up on high gain, used more of loudness of the amp instead of its gain). Used a lot of different pedals. Mostly delays and flangers. There is one exception. For the song named "Obvious" he used his Fender Toranado or Jazzmaster loaded with Invader (its baritone guitar, 3 semitones lower than E Standard tuning).
5. Early AvA - the same as Self-Titled.
6. Late AvA - nowadays - he started to use Vox AC30 for his overdriven sound (he used 2 of them). I cant figure out the eq (yet) but it goes kinda like his Mesa EQ but there is lack of something. He use as well MXR Overdrive pedal (dont know which exactly but it gives cool dist). For clean sounds he is using Fender Twin Reverb or Fender Deluxe Verb (cant remember with exactly). Eq is as on Vox I think. Guitar: Gibson ES-333 Tom DeLonge's signature.
* - by mistakes I mean differeneces between the truth and the stuff which I ve written for you ;d
Hi, I'm Kevin. Tom actually used a les Paul aswell during dude ranch
Tom used a Les Paul for a lot of dude ranch
@@galgrim8672 a les Paul with a bridge invader
Ik this is an old comment but do you know what the eq was for self titled?
@@reservoirfrogs2671 I guess he gave up on some of the high freqs because its sounds much darker, much more balanced but yet still it might be caused by something else.

hey, didn't know if see you here love your vids man
+Blink One Eighty Two I'm everywhere. seriously though this is a great channel.
+littleredguitars2 It really is
Yeah, especially the Dude Range tone sound much thicker, high gain Boogie tone. The tone on the next two albums always kinda baffled me, because it sounds so snappy with a good deal of treble/high mids yet retains a lot of bottom end. I guess it's just a great polished sound with the right choice of amps.
I think they should have gone with a Blackstar. It has great modern gain sounds and the ISF control seems perfect to blend those British and American tones. Or do you think the Invader is the secret ingredient?
blackstar would have been a good choice. egnater too i think.
I'm actually AMAZED they did this one. Not the most complicated of tones, and not really the typical type of stuff you would expect on the channel. Mad props for expanding out and listening to your fan base!
Should've gone P-Bass because Mark's bass has a P-Pickup and P-bass neck, other than that, great job!
P pickups, but a j neck because the neck is thinner and easier to play for guitarist which is what Mark started off as.
The signature has a P neck actually, it says precision bass on the headstock even.
On the Fender website it says it's a J-bass neck
+Lewis Young it's a jazz body, upside down p pickup, and thick ass p neck
Exactly! Interestingly enough, the first version of the signature had the pickup in its normal position, so I wonder how/why he put it upside down.

Sound like Pearl Jam? That would be fun!
Yes!
another good one
Didn't Tom also have a signature Gibson/Epiphone hollowbody with a Dirty Fingers?
ES-335 type with one Invader as far as I know.
Yeah it has a dirty fingers
For Invader tone in Self-Titled album era he used Fender Toronado loaded with Invaders. All of his Gibsons were loaded with Dirty Fingers.
Well yeah but that is for the self titled but they’re doing like enema and stuff
He used a es 333 tom delonge signature gibson with 1 dirty fingers pickup in the bridge through a triple rec

Welcome To Paradise.
You can get the Greenday sound with this blink 182 setup in the video
Insomniac
That tone was FAT
That may be true but Green Day is by far the more evolved band of the two. I think blink is aimed at the people born in the mid to late 90's where I was born late 80's so grew up with the like of Green Day, Bad Religion, New Found Glory Bowling For Soup and The Offspring. Not that Blink 182 were a bad band far from it I just think that they only got famous for being naked.
Is avenged sevenfold a cool one to do?
A7X for the win!!
They've done it
They've done it
+André Gonçalves I can't see it on here?! if it is though post a link because I'd love to watch Rabea hit those tunes!
+André Gonçalves no they haven't...
Everytime I Look For You sounded spot on.
Love the videos, please do Muse!
Back again politely requesting Muse! Awesome vid as usual!
Sound like Hendrix pleeease
There's a video of rob and lee doing Hendrix but it's a video from like 3 years ago
frank zappa dudes! great video btw
I've said it many times, and I'll say it again:
Please do Matt Bellamy :(
This was my entire junior high and high school years. I love every single album of theirs. Goal is to meet them. Especially travis barker. He lived in my city for years
I love how much fun you both look to be having with this one! Blink are such a High School good feels teenage skate memories band for me too, love it.
BEA alice in chains PLEASE! also radiohead would be interesting...
I'm still for a sounds like Erik Johnson!
*Eric Johnson, atleast get the name right...
I think you mean Erik Johanson
3 comments 3 versions of the name :D but everybody of you knew about which guy I was talking.
"Names? we don't need names where we're going!"
His official Facebook account says "Eric Johnson".
So I guess his version is right.
facebook.com/OfficialEricJohnson/?fref=ts
Mhh Jeha he should be able to write his name the right way ;D But either way...I would like to see a sound like about him!
That look they gave each other when talking about Tom's flange phase
I know this comment is four years old, but the self-titled blink album was some of their best work imo. Asthenia is a bop.
Ever since I sold my Marshall head and cab, I switched to strictly Orange heads and cabs or combos. I downsized my guitar collection to a Fender Mexi Strat SSS, an EVH Wolfgang Standard HH FR, a Squier Jim Root Tele HH HT, and a ESP LTD GL200MT H FR, I've been able to get any tone. It's all relatively cheap gear too. The Squier was 350, the LTD was 300, the EVH was 545, the Strat was 499, the combo was 230, and the amp head and cab I got on a bundle for 750. My pedal board is a Fender Marine Layer Reverb, King Wah, Whammy DT, Friedman BE OD, and a Carbon Copy. It took time to get. But you could cut out the Jim Root, the LTD, and the combo, you still have a fairly priced solid rig. So if you went EVH, Orange head and cab, delay and OD, that's $1600 for a VERY gigable and versatile rig. You want single coil, neck pickup roll off the tone. Humbucker, tone up any pickup. Crushing distortion is there along with beautiful cleans, and hell you could cut out the OD and save 200. Hoped this helped.
I really like the guitar and bass together. you guys should do that more often if there is a sounds like with only one guitarist
I am fucking giddy right now, this is just excellent guys, really awesome!
How about the drums? Heh, might be a little bit more then getting the kit right to sound like that drum god lol.
awesome vidja guys!
You guys shouldve trolled us by saying in the beggining "were gonna sound like matt skiba of blink 182"
Omar Rodriguez-Lopez please.
Nailed the stay together for the kids intro album tone..awesome!
sounds awesome. sound like Coheed And Cambria!!
sound like television or redo john frusciante pleaseeee!
They definitely need to redo John Frusciante.
they so need to redo it and now also including his solo stuff
The self titled Blink album is their best work imo, amazing album.
Agreed
It's a cool album yeah, but my personal favourite is Enema of the State, because it was their first album with Travis Barker, who is a total badass on drums
+Andrew Pappas I like that album too, but I'm not a fan of TOYPAJ, a bit too corny and uninspired.
+E RamCrom Yeah, those two are probably my two favourite blink albums because of their "best known" songs like All The Small Things, What's My Age Again (One of the funniest music videos I've ever seen), Aliens Exist and First Date, but I will admit that Dammit is a really good song as well
I always thought that self titled was their biggest step away from their core sound (mall core, skate punk w/e you wanna call it) and the essence that even make Blink 182 so liked/popular. It seems like from then on they only kept taking bigger steps away. It's also why people seem to dig the new album so much, in that it sounds like Enema Of The State, Take Off Your Pants, and Dude Ranch, instead of sounding like Self titled, Neighbourhoods, and Dogs eating dogs. But, to each their own~
1.The doors 2. Lynyrd Skynyrd 3. The Ramones 4. Linkin park 5. Def Leppard 6. Thin Lizzy 7. The police
If there hasn't been a Sound Like Weezer yet, then there should definetley be one done for their Blue-Pinkerton era. Some awesome tones on both of those albums.
GUYS!!!! This took me right back! My favourite blink period! Good times! This vid really made me smile! Keep up the great work guys! 👍
Randy Rhoads
Yes. That needs to happen
Yes!
The amp would almost certainly be a Bugera 1960 Inifinium (£348.36 from Thomann), as it has a dedicated input for the Marshall 1959 “one wire mod”: cascaded gain. You can also save some money by ignoring the aesthetics of the guitar: the most accurate production model would be the Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 (£728 from Andertons, though their site does not show the 3). The really hard part will be the speaker, as he used Altec 417-8H speakers in his Marshall 4x12s. Regarding effects, from Andertons…
MXR M104 Distortion Plus: £72
MXR M108 10 Band EQ: £119
Jim Dunlop Original GCB95 Wah: £74
MXR EVH117 Eddie Van Halen Flanger (as MXR no longer makes their standard flanger): £169
Boss DM2w WAZA Craft Delay (the Korg delay he used is out of production): £129
Adding a Harley Bention G212V from Thomann, such that selling on the Vintage 30s can fund suitable speakers, brings the total to £1,918.71.
if rabea can pull off randy he will officially reach guitar god status! it wouldn't really surprise me because he's got a reputation for being able to sound like almost anybody, but not even zakk wylde could do it and the guy actually worked for ozzy. o.O
Now do sound like Angels & Airwaves
Y U no play Carousel?
the best blink song lol
sean green Carousel is a bass riff and the only guitar is power chords
Josh Watney Not true, the song contains clean guitar amongst the bass solo intro, couple of different guitar riffs, bridge and the rest of the parts have power chords. The parts where power chords are used cover about the half of the song. And notice also that there are two versions of Carousel by blink-182.
NexterZulu i know. Im just saying that most of the song is comprised of a lead bass with guitar playing rythim
Josh Watney Well that would be the intro. I don't know what you mean by lead bass with the most of the song. The bass isn't doing anything that would be different from normal bass playing. I think lead bass can be therefore heard only in the intro and the part before the bridge. And that isn't the majority of the song.
One of my fave vids so far as you were both so into the songs, good to watch.
Thanks for doing this one. It was fun to watch.
did u just say blink 1-8-2?!
plz do sound like sum 41 really want to see that
Please do sound like avenged sevenfold that would be perfect
+zues2013 mate they play rock am ring, do you think I shit band would play that. obviously it's subject to opinion and I respect yours but there are so many people who think they are the bomb
Okay, here's a better breakdown
Squier Bullet Strat HSS - $200CAD
Seymour Duncan Invader Neck Pickup - $140CAD
Installation Labour from Luthier - $50CAD
15' Patch Cord - $20CAD
Fulltone Full-Drive 2 Mosfet - $165CAD
Fender Mustang GT40 - $330CAD
TOTAL: $905CAD. $701USD. Not too shabby.
Oh my goodness I have been waiting for this!!!
We want Muse.
Did you know that when Tom delonge heard Matt Skiba's band Alkaline Trio for the first time, he rewrote blink songs because he was inspired by Matt Skiba? Theres a 2004 warped tour interview where he says that, it's on youtube. There's also videos of him singing alkaline trio songs backstage. Just so all the Skiba haters know, Tom Delonge even likes Skiba, and enough to where cat like theif by boxcar sounds a lot like "you've got so far to go", def inspired. TOM AND MATT ARE FRIENDS
sound like the smiths
I have two suggestions for sounds like. I think Muse, My Chemical Romance, and Kings of Leon would all be great ones. they're tones are all unique, and I would love to know how Kings Of Leon gets their solo tones, because they are amazing. Thanks guys, I really appreciate it
Dumpweed was spot on. Well done, but maybe should have gone for a Squier and dropped an Invader in for a closer "beefy" Blink-182 tone.
I demand a sound like weezer!
SOUND LIKE THE EAGLES!!!
Magic word?
+Andertons Music Co Please Sound Like the Eagles oh Magical Ones
Andertons Music Co PLEASE do the Eagles!🎼🎸🎤
For joe use a Fender Telecaster, or a squier classic vibe
and for Don who i know more a bout, cheap gibson les paul or epiphone les paul, Fender Hotrod Deluxe or Blues JR,
boss chorus ensemble, some kind of distortion and maybe a talkbox
"I fucking hate the Eagles, man"
Sounds like Muse pleas!!!
I listen to the Take Off Your Pants and Jacket pretty much everyday and you did very well. Such a simple and great sound. Classic band.
Great video! Thanks for posting and keep up the great work! I really enjoyed that you played a lot of different songs by Blink.
Sound like Zakk Wylde!
BLS, Pride and Glory, or Ozzy?
+GunsnRosesfan2012 Pride and Glory all day.
Gibson Les Paul, pinch harmonics on every note
dougthealligator phase 90 on all the time.
enema of the state is the way to go
daniel moreno 😊
Sound like Simon Neil from Biffy Clyro
Tbh guys I'm a big Blink 182 fan of the same era you were working on here and yeah, I think you nailed lads! And you're British also awesome work. Big T
I just found my new favourite youtubers. I really loved this episode. Could you do some SUM 41 if you haven't done that yet?
Don't know why anyone would have a hard time figuring out their sound. Still love the video, but would love the hear something a little more complex to figure out. Oh well.
because they are a popular band that alot of people grew up with and were inspired to play guitar maybe?
He said it wasn't that difficult but they had a lot of requests.
Tracy Street honestly it wasn't That close to Tom or marks tone
Yeah I dont think they really nailed it! Too much mid range fuzziness. I think either a DSL15 or any of the lower end modern high gain stuff would of worked better. I reckon they need to do busting the bank and cover all the eras. Triple Rectifier (or even a mini rec), something with Invaders, a few fx not many needed though
Avenged sevenfold, busting the bank
Bring me the horizon, Architects or any metalcore band would be great
73 and a half distortion pedals followed by a V or Explorer
True, would be nice to see a video though
wow thats really funny thanks for your intellectual contribution to this conversation...
Ollie Page it was a joke mate😂
Ollie Page Thats a wonderful comeback tho
I may not have been the biggest Blink fan growing up, but this was solid. I would love to see a Sound Like Green Day video.
Love that late 90's to early 2000's Punk rock, Alternative and most any music around that era miss that stuff bad. Its a shame that all the rawness and sound of it all has faded away to everything being watered down and filtered to what we now hear on the radio. The world changes but I never will.
sound like Alabama shakes
FUCKING THIS.
Sound like Alice in Chains?
So, maybe sound like Sum41? Anyone?
no
No
yes
Sound like sepultura early and later would be a intresting challenge im my opinion. Even though im not at all a blink fan its awesome to hear what goes into their sound. Good work.
It would really help me out if you guys did one for Rise Against. Love the videos! Keep up the good work! I don't have a lot of money so these videos help me find out which gear is good without going broke.
