I miss those "Fuck, Go, Holy shit" in the middle of the song, that energy, running all around the stage. Sometimes you cant accept that he is just getting older :(
I love Tom's voice. I'm glad to see him back and having fun. Honestly, they've all matured as musicians and i can't wait to see what they'll do now with their music
Well, consider that the Strat is a lot more dense than the Dot, because it's not hollowed out, and on top of that, it has the neck heel, and bolt, which add weight too. The Dot really is lighter.
he said that hes embarrassed that he use to use so much distortion in blink. He said that when you play with his setup you actually have to be a good guitar player and not fuck up. His old setup you could mess up a hundred times and not notice.
i read in an iterveiw or somthing from tom that he was playing one of jerry finn's les pauls and loved the sound but hated the weight of it and the fact that he had back problems didnt help so he negotiated with gibson to get a signature es-333
@TheAarfan84 nobody knows what happened but i narrowed it down to some time in 2006. On spotify you can find two live performances of the adventure, both from 2006. one of them his voice is great, the other it has become what it is now. people say it's cos he getting older but that's bollocks, a natural change can't happen that fast. if anyone does know for sure what he did let me know!
I finally get it! people were always complaining how tom's performance on stage was Fucked pretty much all the time. But here's the thing: he was already doing acting like a "jerk" on stage before they broke up on '05, but those 4 years of hiatus just Magnified that part of him (which I believe is a key part of this band, and that's why Blink misses Tom) Case Closed.
@241u i'm pretty sure you're right. but then again he is infact tom delonge and probly the only person that can get away with doin that. & also probly one of the only people that can get away with ripping off guitar riffs of his own songs. for example: the end with you (bridge riff) : easy target (end riff)/all of this (whole damn song) anthem part 2 (intro) : everything's magic (main riff) dumpweed (second riff [the one right after the first chorus in vid above]) : call to arms (intro)
@deadkillr96 yeah but alot of other singers have changed, but not gotten shit, billy joe, fat mike, greg gaffin. robert smith, dexter holland, mark are all older and can still sing
tom is balancing blink and AVA, so his voice will never go back to what it used to but then i love his voice now, especially with AVA, its awesome, plus he's older, he can't sound like a 25 year old forever..
does anybody know why did tom changed his strato for an epiphone?i think he should change it back...this epiphone is sucks...but this performance is great :)
@alcaPWN1994 lol like that's an excuse, they were broke up like 4 years. Plus aging doesn't have much impact until much later in life. He's just still trying to sing like he's in Angels and Airwaves and it doesn't sound good with Blink
@theillestkids Try telling me you would turn down a ticket to see them, even with Tom's voice like that? Tell me your not pleased blink are back? Tell me if Tom did sound like this on the next album you wouldn't buy it. You will buy it, because even if tom doesn't sound like he's 20 again, it's still good music!
@OkRoyBand tom had a gibson b4 travis came into the band....around 98 then he got his custom strat.....please dont tell me...i went to a lot of thier shows and i even had the chance to meet them at the hard rock cafe in NYC and he even thinks his voice could be better....so keep ur so called facts to urself until u correct them, thanks
@3iuda3 guys they were drunk (tom) because dj am just died like a day before. no one cared about this show. sorry. i mean i saw them three times. once before djam, then i saw them here and i saw them on oct 2. and both before and after they were awesome but here they just didnt have energy at this one for obvious reasons. but even so they are still awesome.
I was replying to someone else who was commenting on Tom's singing being "bull shit". If you read my entire comment, instead of just to the first comma, you'd see that I said I actually like this.
Playing in a punk band and using a semi-hollow body electric guitar seems to be pretty trendy lately. I see all the local punk bands doing it. And what's up with Tom's vocals? Does he not give a crap? haha
you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. Toms voice, while its not amazing, is better than then it was in the 03 tour. His guitar playing is way way way better than it used to be. Look up the japan summersonic gig, look at his playing then tell me its better than now. and dont start bullshitting about something not being punk rock. Oh and he doesnt use delay in blink. At most he uses some phaser/flange which he did in 03 too.
Thomas Matthew DeLonge has an amazing voice, would people please stop whinging about his voice sounding 'really bad' i think he sounds ten times better now than he ten years ago, he's grown so much as a musician and as a person. hes matured, obviously his voice isnt gonna sound like a 16 year old when hes 34 ffs. thankyou. blink-182 fuckin rule btw:D
Dude seriously, listen to live songs of Tom from like 04 right before the hiatus..he currently doesnt sound that much different. like barely. People are just obsessing over why he isnt twenty five years old...that was 10 years ago. get over it man lol
2009 tom was great. A mix of Ava and blink voice. He had his old voice but deeper. After 09 just tragic
Banktella Chris some shows in 2011 tom sings good
I see where you’re coming from lol
thanks for posting the vids dude!!! u rock!!
BLINK = AWESOME
Awesome tom,i love you!
I miss those "Fuck, Go, Holy shit" in the middle of the song, that energy, running all around the stage. Sometimes you cant accept that he is just getting older :(
they actually look like theyre having fun again. cant wait to see them on saturday.
also... hes absolutely hammered drunk here, u can tell, he always does for blink shows. i kinda think its hilarious
awesome. thanks for uploading!
I love Tom's voice. I'm glad to see him back and having fun. Honestly, they've all matured as musicians and i can't wait to see what they'll do now with their music
"HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKK!"
Best part of the video.
Drunk as fuck but having fun
i hope he uses it again it was amazing back when he used it
Looks like tom is enjoying himself out there. Look at the end; appear hands with mark.
I was at the show in hartford too! poor mark. They still kicked ass though!!
@SixTiNineASoBs Saw them at Lowlands festival at the end of august, and his voice was back to awesomeness. :)
Well, consider that the Strat is a lot more dense than the Dot, because it's not hollowed out, and on top of that, it has the neck heel, and bolt, which add weight too. The Dot really is lighter.
travis at :30 i love how he hits the hi hat with that back and forward motion ive started doing that
It's an awesome live..
i want the old tom back !
Cant believe this was nearly a fucking decade ago
exelente parceros colombia los espera ke viva el punk rock
if you are true blink fan you always have and always will think they sound AMAZING
@LinkinLaurens We'll thats good to hear. I might actually go see them if they come back to florida if that's the case.
AWESOME !!!!!
Tom sounds good here!
really really niiiiiice
he said that hes embarrassed that he use to use so much distortion in blink. He said that when you play with his setup you actually have to be a good guitar player and not fuck up. His old setup you could mess up a hundred times and not notice.
he's been in AVA for a while now so its probably gonna be hard to adjust back
i read in an iterveiw or somthing from tom that he was playing one of jerry finn's les pauls and loved the sound but hated the weight of it and the fact that he had back problems didnt help so he negotiated with gibson to get a signature es-333

@xZachMS182x thank you. finally someone who agrees
Awesome.
I love how Tom puts so much emphisis on the F wordd xD Hes ffffucking great xD
My word this is a fast performance of dumpweed
tom sounds great here : )))
@Mattallica182 your more than right brother, blink182 always

agreed. Triple Rectifier distortion is a punk signature established by Blink-182
I LOVE THIS shit
toms voice will come back he hasnt played with blink it what 4 years
Time capsule... Back to the 90s!
awesome
@deadkillr96 yeah but alot of other singers have changed, but not gotten shit, billy joe, fat mike, greg gaffin. robert smith, dexter holland, mark are all older and can still sing
they're kick ass live
"HOLY FUCK!".....lmfaooooo
tom is balancing blink and AVA, so his voice will never go back to what it used to but then i love his voice now, especially with AVA, its awesome, plus he's older, he can't sound like a 25 year old forever..
better than skiba anyday. ppl saying hes better are delusional.
Tom is Real american, World need such ppl!
When i grow up, I want to be like Mark and Tom.
Does anyone know how Tom made his guitar look like that, it looks like he burned parts of it but idk
i guarentee you their new shit will sound better with how they are now, then if they were how they used to be.
@Mayunholdup
Dare to compare the 1999's concerts with this.
An you'll se what are whe talking about Tom's voice.
the one he has now is lighter for his back, notice how he wears it higher now
i dont mind that tom cant sing anymore hes so fun to watch it doesnt matter he was never much of a singer in the first place
whats on toms mic stand at 1:00?
sick
does anybody know why did tom changed his strato for an epiphone?i think he should change it back...this epiphone is sucks...but this performance is great :)
@deadkillr96 mark sounds the same as he used too or at least very similar but never the less maybe ur right
oh do u think hes gonna use the strat again?
Tom is the man!
is tom drunk?
0:16 hahaha xD
Hmm?
If you're referring to me calling it a Dot, I know it's really a 333, not a 335. And Dots (and 333s) are nice, so if it's at that, shh.
Yeh i think so, it's tom's normal voice. Just watch for example dumpweed live in autralia...i think he's doing even better now hehe :D
@IEMPIRE1990 no he changed his voice on purpose
whys everyone bitching about toms voice. honestly it sounds pretty good to me. sure its not his old voice, but its a new era of blink
@CrackFox771 ....you're not wrong. i guess somethings never change:)
@alcaPWN1994 lol like that's an excuse, they were broke up like 4 years. Plus aging doesn't have much impact until much later in life. He's just still trying to sing like he's in Angels and Airwaves and it doesn't sound good with Blink
awesome .
tom did his job
@theillestkids
Try telling me you would turn down a ticket to see them, even with Tom's voice like that? Tell me your not pleased blink are back? Tell me if Tom did sound like this on the next album you wouldn't buy it. You will buy it, because even if tom doesn't sound like he's 20 again, it's still good music!
lol tom screwed up so much the first high note riff
@OkRoyBand tom had a gibson b4 travis came into the band....around 98 then he got his custom strat.....please dont tell me...i went to a lot of thier shows and i even had the chance to meet them at the hard rock cafe in NYC and he even thinks his voice could be better....so keep ur so called facts to urself until u correct them, thanks
the guitar is not loud enough....
@theblinkfan4evr haha this is the old tom!!!!
@Mattallica182
but still, it's different.
While it's not like the album, this isn't as bad as The Rock Show and Feeling This. I actually like how he sings the chorus of this one.
did he say that?
Toms so drunk, its fuckin awesome!!
good
Well fucking agreed aswell.
guitar picks
@3iuda3 guys they were drunk (tom) because dj am just died like a day before. no one cared about this show. sorry. i mean i saw them three times. once before djam, then i saw them here and i saw them on oct 2. and both before and after they were awesome but here they just didnt have energy at this one for obvious reasons. but even so they are still awesome.
I was replying to someone else who was commenting on Tom's singing being "bull shit". If you read my entire comment, instead of just to the first comma, you'd see that I said I actually like this.
poor mark - why?
Tom : I'm too old for this..........
Playing in a punk band and using a semi-hollow body electric guitar seems to be pretty trendy lately. I see all the local punk bands doing it. And what's up with Tom's vocals? Does he not give a crap? haha

@thtkidrocks69 then go and listen to the "old" blink! it's not that hard!
dont like how his voice has changed
I think tom sounds pretty good here actually
@Mattallica182 227 people wi-nvm,228 :)
Holy fuck!
love the fact that Tom doesnt have to sing for shit and I still enjoy eversingle fucking second of it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He does like it!!!! "Is THE shit" not "is shit"
oh cristo
Thomas Matthew DeLonge has an amazing voice, would people please stop whinging about his voice sounding 'really bad' i think he sounds ten times better now than he ten years ago, he's grown so much as a musician and as a person. hes matured, obviously his voice isnt gonna sound like a 16 year old when hes 34 ffs. thankyou. blink-182 fuckin rule btw:D
Billie Joe Armstrong has been around a while- his voice hasnt changed that much...
Lol, why is Tom randomly screaming throughout the song.
a little bit drunk? =D
Dude seriously, listen to live songs of Tom from like 04 right before the hiatus..he currently doesnt sound that much different. like barely. People are just obsessing over why he isnt twenty five years old...that was 10 years ago. get over it man lol
