I like to think that while he is playing he is remembering everything from when the band was still in its prime. Him with Tom and Travis. Just jamming out.
He said this song is the most personal to Him. I find it interesting that he only lip sang to a few lines in the middle. Maybe those hit home for him back then
There will never be a band like Blink ever again, something about them made them the best at what they do, it's more about attitude than style or technical stuff. Will love Blink until the day I die
One of my earliest memories of music is my dad playing this song on the living room speakers back in 99, I was like barely 4 yo and I jumped around everywhere. Years later I asked my dad for this cd again and I got seriously hooked to blink
I think he is the one who always truly cared about Blink and the fans.. We must thank him for the band is still alive today. If were not him, the band would be gone many years ago..
And Travis don’t forget about Travis. He is as OG as Scott Raynor. Travis was the one to challenge Mark/Tom/Matt as musicians. He said make a record like it’s the first blink album and untitled was created. He expressed concerns to how repetitive the band sounded and they recreated from scratch and Nine was made
Así es, mi banda favorita cuando estaba en la escuela y empecé a escuchar rock, soy de Panama y ahora vivo en Atlanta y ayer tuve la oportunidad de verlos en vivo y la verdad llore de emoción al escuchar todos sus éxitos, la energía en el concierto fue emocionante, valió cada maldito centavo que pague
One thing that I've always loved about Mark's style, aside from the obvious element of how punchy his downstrokes are, is how his chording style is so full sounding and has always basically negated the need for another guitarist, even from the earliest days.
@@VladimirDT ive heard its about a surviver from Columbine who committed suicide. I watched it live on tv as it was happening and for nine years i was reminded of it everyday because i lived on Columbine circle. The looks on peoples faces everytime someone asked for my address.
And maybe all the concerts and festival experiences he has had when playing this live. Lovely to see, great to hear but he also casts a slightly melancholic figure.
Love you Mark. I'm sure that sounds weird from someone you never met. But you helped shape my life, and got me through hard times with your music. I hope you know how important you've been to so many people. Its beyond the music now man. Thanks for the smiles.
Can completely relate bro. I was 18. God damn do I miss it. Amazing wife, 2 incredible kids, great house, solid job, but I still get so nostalgic about that period of my life.
Tom and Mark were such a good team, has never been as good when one is making music without the other. They had such great synergy. It breaks my heart that things went the way that they did. These songs take me back to a time where things felt more hopeful and full of wonder.
Yup… it’s strange to say, but my life was never the same without the real blink rocking. They were, are, and will be a huge part of my identity. Now the past I can do is look to a fading past of performances.
I wish tom and Mark would start playing again.. I know Tom has moved on but I miss Mark and Tom they were so awesome together. I grew up listening to blink in the 90s oh the memories!
Mark muchas gracias por subir estos videos y que al tocarlas vuelvas a sentir lo que sentias cuanto recién sonaban, al Escucharlas se me vienen muchos recuerdos a la mente y mi corazón, cuando las escuchaba en MTV y tenía menos de 17 años, ahora tengo 33 y el sentimiento es el mismo. Un saludo y un abrazo fuerte para ti, espero tu pronta recuperación para que puedas seguir con lo que amas. Te saluda un admirador mas Nestor Ness Gonzales Campos desde Trujillo - Perú!!!!!!
i definitely appreciate bass much more than i did when i was a kid listening to blink. adam’s song is a special one. mark did great with the bass in both performance and composition
I still remember driving around with my older brother in probably the year 1999 and him showing me the enema of the state cd cover and me laughing so hard
Talk about a band raising the bar. Blink is awesome, Travis Mark Tom made some of the most iconic music that changed the game. I'm 42 and i"ll still be listening to there music if i was 80. Good music never ages!!!
Mark, you can really see your passion for the music and who you really are deep down as you play this, thank you for writing such great music it's truly touched us all. I know I am also truly myself when I play my music and feel it deep in my soul.
Man the bassline is simple, but the song is very very strong, they have been my favorite band from the 1st time. Bless you mark tom and travis

I hope Mark's health recovers quickly, I will always remain super grateful for the amazing happy vibes he and and his band created for me and my friends in our teen years...
This song is what made me want to play guitar. Got one for my 15th birthday back in 1999 and never stopped since. I still play Adam's song and Blink, very often too. Thanks Mark for sharing this!! Huge respect!
This is actually a genius bass line. The fact he plays behind Tom on the fretboard and not the root during the verse, the power chords, and then the ending bridge riff. Like that's really above and beyond what this song ever needed. He doesn't get enough credit for his creativity and pushing himself 110% EDIT: the tab I looked at had the guitar a whole step down and the bass in standard, which was why I was confused on the root note thing.
@@no-lp2zh if the tabs I'm looking at are correct, when Tom plays the 5th fret Mark plays the 3rd. He plays in time with the guitar but he's not playing the same note which is kinda standard for modern rock bass
If my ears are correct, it sounds like he's exactly on the roots all the time, except a few exceptions. But the audio in this video is not helping alot.
I feel like that's the same deal with so many songs, amazing bass riffs being overshadowed by the guitar and amazing guitar riffs being overshadowed by vocals. Its a shame.
My first CD was from blink 182 and got me really interested into music when I was a kid, then eventually the bass guitar. Thanks for all the memories Mark hang in
esta cancion me lleva al pasado cuando la depresion era mi pan de cada dia (y lo disfrutaba) es raro extrañar esa parte de mi vida donde me encerraba en una habitacion a escuchar Blink y sentirme triste
Man this song was getting me through some hard times... 22 years ago... and has been doing so ever since. Of course, reflecting on the fact that the song is 22 years old doesn't help, either.
Great work, Mark - I loved Blink since you released your first songs and I visited two of your concerts in Germany; great that you are still here! I was shocked, when you separated, insanely happy when you re-united and shocked again, after Tom suddenly left the band again... go on with it! * thumbs up *

they made him millions lol
i literally had the same thought. he's so wholesome
Mark, hope all works out for you and you come through this healthy and strong. Stay positive.
🙏🏼
Tomorrow holds such better days. 🌈
What happened to him?
@@urgidover He had cancer.
@@BobABooey. but he beat like the mega Chad he is
Mark looks so happy playing this song.
Playing all Blink-182's old songs*
He looks 60 y.o actually
you are blind LOL
He said this song is the most personal to
Him. I find it interesting that he only lip sang to a few lines in the middle. Maybe those hit home for him back then
Mark's power chords on the bass always suit Tom's melodies perfectly.

@@aodh5966 Same
@@aodh5966 ok I think blink are good yeah but there are many bands better in terms of writing masterpiece come on now
@@jrk10 he never said there wasn't, he just said they're unique for what they do not that they're the greatest songwriters of all time
@@jrk10 say that to my face
This song still makes me so sad. How can you listen to this song and not feel loss and sorrow? Brilliant. Hope you're well, Mark.
It's sad only until the final chorus. 🙂
This song is an anti-suicide song.
Хорошо что я английский не понимаю)) просто слушаю и кайфую
@@pseudomonasaeruginosa4104 it was allegedly about a kid who died though
I always feel that Kinda Sad feeling Its depressing and pretty great
One of my earliest memories of music is my dad playing this song on the living room speakers back in 99, I was like barely 4 yo and I jumped around everywhere. Years later I asked my dad for this cd again and I got seriously hooked to blink
so cute
awe
I think he is the one who always truly cared about Blink and the fans.. We must thank him for the band is still alive today.
If were not him, the band would be gone many years ago..
x1000000
Yeah Fk tom 😂
Yes he is
He’s my favorite band member.
And Travis don’t forget about Travis. He is as OG as Scott Raynor. Travis was the one to challenge Mark/Tom/Matt as musicians. He said make a record like it’s the first blink album and untitled was created. He expressed concerns to how repetitive the band sounded and they recreated from scratch and Nine was made
This song and Mark's bass playing made me a musician. It's been 25 years and I'm still blown away by his tone on the bass. He's my hero.
You can’t go wrong with a tone from even a decent level p-bass
His tone is S-tier! Got me interested in the bass as a guitar player
you can learn this the first time you pick up an instrument by now if you aint a producre your jsut not improving
Carousel is always a go to when I pick up a bass
Wait until you find Ryan from Mudvayne BrBr Deng
You have no idea how many times I have listened to this song!!!!!!
Yo me too-
Definitely in the 10s of thousands
Imposible no escuchar esta canción y que no se te vengan tantos recuerdos de esa época.. Gracias Mak
Mirale la cara de nostalgia que pone este men

Agreed. I've noticed he strums the open D string for depth.
One of the best songs of Blink 182
takes me back to when i would have Enema of the State in my discman while walking to high school.
Covid ruined my only opportunity to see Blink 182 live. I was so stoked to hear my favorite band growing up.
Hopefully they’ll tour their NINE album. I don’t believe they’ve done that yet. 🤞🏽⚡️🤘🏽
I don’t think you missed much. Blink isn’t blink without Tom. Skiba belongs in alkaline trio and blink with him just isn’t the same.
Now you have a chance to see them again, but with Tom
@@byah160 guess what?
@@emmanuelbongar7370 just bought my tickets as soon they were announced. So stoked!
I dont know why but i get chills everytime i hear this song. I cant explain it.
Still makes me feel sad.
Its probably the reason this song was made thats giving you chills subconsciously

I agree, it’s one of the all time great songs, love the way they increase the intensity each round..
Maybe because it hits home
I'd like to think that mark is transported back to when this was written as he's playing this.
And maybe all the concerts and festival experiences he has had when playing this live. Lovely to see, great to hear but he also casts a slightly melancholic figure.
@@noddy33 thank you for being an emo boy with me
man what i'd give to see a new 'The Mark, Tom, and Travis Show Part 2'.

Cancer sucks, love mark forever
1999 felt like if it was yesterday. I was 21 back then.

I was 16 @ the time. Just hold better days.

i love how he looks so excited playing on his new bass!!!
Enjoying this series. Please do "Dammit".
This will forever be my favourite Blink song, love it.
Tom and Mark were such a good team, has never been as good when one is making music without the other. They had such great synergy. It breaks my heart that things went the way that they did. These songs take me back to a time where things felt more hopeful and full of wonder.
They still do just like Gilmour and Waters. It’ll always be there.
tom is back with them now and they are touring in 2023
My god...
All my teenage mood...
So many good and bad moments in my ears with that sound...
Thanks forever for your amazing job, love you !
Holy cow, the one that made me starting to play bass. Thnx Mark 🤘
02:47 is the best part of this song on bass I love that melody / solo
If Tom doesn’t give this man a hug he will end up regretting it.
You do realise they are still friends and speak almost everyday ?
They’re in a band together, of course they will
I can’t wait till I get home to pass the time in my room alone
Bring back memories, one of my childhood songs right here, where i usually play it in my walkman when goin to school.. 90s bands 🤘🤘🤘
Mark Hoppus Fan forever🤘
Get well soon mark ♥
Thanks for this ! Please keep those uploads coming mate 😁
Some of the best beginner tabs I ever played. Thank you for keeping the band alive Mark!
Summer of 99 best years of life especially when your 16 just hold better days. Someone take me back already.
with no doubt, one of the bests songs ever written
How can anyone not cry every time they listen to this song
Man I wish him and Tom would come back to each other them together was everything I loved the way his voice was on all of their songs
Yup… it’s strange to say, but my life was never the same without the real blink rocking. They were, are, and will be a huge part of my identity. Now the past I can do is look to a fading past of performances.
plot twist...
It’s your lucky day. Tom is back with blink.
I wish tom and Mark would start playing again.. I know Tom has moved on but I miss Mark and Tom they were so awesome together. I grew up listening to blink in the 90s oh the memories!
One day :)

hits different when you're older
great job Mark
22 years of making people misty-eyed. This is a song with staying power.
Only about 184,000 views? Unreal. Deserves millions. This is THE Mark Hoppus performing a bass cover of quite possibly his most famous song.
This is one of my favourite tracks and remind me of those days👍🏻👍🏻
Talk about a band raising the bar. Blink is awesome, Travis Mark Tom made some of the most iconic music that changed the game. I'm 42 and i"ll still be listening to there music if i was 80. Good music never ages!!!
Bass chords give your music so much attitude, always playing for the song. Brilliant
This song introduced me to Blink and became a blink fan since then and still when i think of blink this song always comes to my mine first.
Fun! This takes me back in so many ways! Thanks 😊
Mark, you can really see your passion for the music and who you really are deep down as you play this, thank you for writing such great music it's truly touched us all. I know I am also truly myself when I play my music and feel it deep in my soul.
Stay strong Mark 🙏
My all time favorite, deep inside it’s meant a lot.
Man the bassline is simple, but the song is very very strong, they have been my favorite band from the 1st time. Bless you mark tom and travis
I hope Mark's health recovers quickly, I will always remain super grateful for the amazing happy vibes he and and his band created for me and my friends in our teen years...
Seeing how old Mark looks makes me feel old as fuck.
Looks bloody good for his age
I’m only 31, and I feel freakin’ old…
Same. I'm 37 and they where popular in from junior to high school. Crazy how time Flys. F TIME!
Now we knew, he has cancer and maybe thats the reason why he looks „old“ and „drawn from life“… i hope so much he‘d come back stronger!!!!
I think he looks really f-ing good for almost 50!
I love this song, blink and Mark all separate and at once lol
He's still so handsooome 🙈✨
This song taught me about what it felt like to lose a friend long before I actually did.
Praying for you, Mark. 🙏 Thanks for bringing me back to the good old days.
I will forever love this song.

Saw them july 2019 in NJ it was the most amazing experience, been a fan forever!
I saw Blink-182 live in some ampitheater in Tennessee back in 05. I was in the 11th row. I could feel the heat from the pyrotechnics.
Omg love it, performing his own song, bed room jamming!!!
This is one of the first songs I leaned in my guitar! I miss these times. Rock on!
Found my way here after Beato’s new Blink video. I love this band so much.

So glad my kids were fans of you guys. Memories of them = sometimes the song that goes with the memory(all good).
I love Blink 182! You guys are awesome!
I’ve never got a tattoo. I’m thinking the octopus. You are a legend in words I think the world can’t say
this song always makes me cry
I remember blasting this and greenday when i was younger. I would play gran tourismo with this playing on cd in the background
