Tom is Blink. Blink is Tom. Welcome back, Tom Delonge!
make a New vídeo!!!!
Eh. Blink isn't the same without Tom. But blink is the trio. It's not the same if you take out any of the 3. For example +44 was a pretty good band with Mark on vocals and Travis drumming with 2 other members in it and they only did one album. AnA wasn't that great and prolly only got some of the hype it did strictly cause of Tom. Then when blink went on without Tom and had skiba on lead vocals they just weren't as good either. It's just not the same if you don't get the mark tom and Travis show.
Lol no. Matt kept the band Alive. And now he is shoved away. Oh well ... Luckily both bands surived now
Tom is got that punk rock voice
Tom is got that punk rock voice
His voice the reason why i like blink 182........
I love his riffs too. Plus Mark's bass tone with strumming and vocal too. What about Travis Barker ? He made the band famous playing with a broken arm or foot and his crazy skills too. I loved their humour and their lyrics overall at least
@@twikie258 Travis Barker did NOT make the band famous. 😂
Blink were famous way before Travis even joined the band.
@@hazysundaysband travis make blink182 more famous than before he joined
@@PunxTV123 Blink-182's fame is not due to Travis Barker joining the band.
Blink were well on their way to stardom before Barker came along.
Granted they became more popular once he came into the band. But that was not because he joined.
Travis joined Blink-182 at the perfect time.
@@hazysundaysband yeah, i think dude ranch was their first record to be co-released with a bigger label ,cargo and grilled cheese, which were their first labels with which they released cheshire cat were a little more like indie-ish labels, dude ranch was released with cargo and MCA, and enema was with MCA 100%, back in those days i think they really had alot of influence if a band made it or not.
(ironically the people at mca records hated dude ranch before it had officially released, thinking the band was going to be a failure, at a sort of pre release party, executives and other members of the label were invited to listen to the record and before the first song was over, all of them walked out of room and the band was like "we could've signed to Epitaph..." but when enema came out they apparently started sucking up to the band saying "we always believed in you, bla bla bla" according to tom)
also i kinda of agree that blink didnt come famous with travis' arrival to the band, BUT, he actually managed to help the band write songs, or at least structure them, differently, it added slightly more substance to the band. according to tom, most of what started as enema was sounding alot like their previous releases, and during a session, travis got off his kit and walked over to tom and said "why cant you play something else?, im playing the same beat over and over" and tom said "im not the groove expert , thats your job, you tell me what to do to make it sound better" and travis was like "oh, so i can what i want? and that way you can change what you're doing on guitar" , so yeah, according to them, when he came to the band, he felt more like another songwriter instead of just a drummer, a few of drumming channels, like harry miree, have got more in depth how he has brought different elements through his drumming that added more substance to the songs.
Toms voice didn’t finish puberty until 38
Defo
Lol by puberty do you mean vocal effects? Haha
The drugs he took changed his voice
Jennifer Townsend really?
@@Bigcodyg27 No. He purposely changed his voice by changing the way he sang.
Tom is such an underrated musician, he makes awesome melodies and harmonies.
Just curious, what is underrated about Tom DeLonge?
Ry Line I feel like he’s a pretty underrated guitarist. Dude can palm mute like a beast
@@ryline666 probably underrated isnt the best word to describe him, after all, he is pretty known, and to some level really appreciated by many people....but i think little under looked could be better term, i think when it comes to tom's earlier work, he tried to add alot more substance to the songs by adding some crazy parts on guitar, i think on some early blink demos and some of cheshire cat he showed that even though he wasnt a flashy guitar player, was adding more to the song, examples like touchdown boy, sometimes or tv, wasting time he was trying to be a little more flashy on guitar or like "solos" he made on songs like fentoozler, strings, everytime or marlboro man.. surely he was no shredder or killer blues guitarist but it certainly added to the song...after 2000 i think his guitar parts were way more simplified and basic but still the songs manage to be catchy as hell
He’s not underrated skill-wise, but creative-wise he really is
@Ham Salad same, when i used to take guitar lessons many years ago, i would sometimes be playing some blink riffs on guitar, my teacher was like "what is that from?" and i would answer "oh its from this band called blink 182" he had no idea who they were... on his defense he was a jazz player so his style wasnt really inclined on that..but luckly there was also another guy in class who knew blink from guitar hero
Even for punk standards his voice initially was good.
You can hear some milo from descendents inspiration until enema
@@gonzalozamora5715 speaking of which...blink made a cover of hope back in like 2002 , he did kinda sounded similar to how milo did live back in 1985 (also the +44 cover of christmas vacation is really good, it works better for marks smoother voice)
@@gonzalozamora5715 100% his speaking voice doesn’t sound like Milo but his delivery and punch in singing definitely does
For those who don’t understand how age and puberty works; Tom’s voice was bound to get deeper with age and more scragglier as he kept playing bigger and longer shows. That’s why his voice sounds different on Neighborhoods than the self-titled album. You can kinda hear his blink voice on the first AVA record, but I’m sure he used less Adams’s Apple and more throat to relax his vocals and use less strain. I’ve tried to replicate both vocal styles and Tom’s AVA version is a lot easier to sing. You can also hear this on I Miss You. So no, his voice didn’t change because he was on pain killers when he broke his back in 2001, or when he started playing a Gibson ES model in 2003. Hope that clears up any confusion.
After 1 yr later..alotta ppl think their experts but most likely don't know him at all 🙄
I lot of people are pretentious cyberstalkers that judge people cuz they don't love everything about their favorite singer. I love Tom. His voice sounds weird now, them's the facts. I'm sorry people are allowed to think that.
Just seeing this, but just a correction, you don't strain less singing from the throat.. you actually sing from the chest for less strain. He used to sing more in the throat and now its more chest.
And then Mark Hoppus sounds about the same still lol
If you observe younger Tom (20's) then you can see he had a really tiny head. It was proportionally smaller than that of other adults. I think this contributed to his voice being so high pitched. Generally when we grow up from child to adult gradually our voices get deeper (even without puberty). A 2 year old child has a higher pitched voice than teh same child as 4 year old etc). I think Tom's voice used to eb high pitched because he had such a small head (and thus smaller vocal chords). However, when he got older well into adulthood his head continued to grow into a regular sized head right now, which means that his vocal chords grew too and which result in his pitch being deeper than before.
This is the same reason why elton johns voice change so much too. He used to have a normal headsize (prophertionally) and his head continued to grow and grow when he was well into adulthood. Now he has a really big head. He sounds much deeper every 10 years that go by.
I’ve been a blink 182 fan for roughly 18 years and have seen them live with Tom and with Matt. The time I saw Tom was the absolute best concert I’ve ever been to in my life (plus that was my very first time seeing them). I would’ve seen them one more time, but they had to cancel their show in 2012. The second time...I was absolutely heartbroken hearing Matt sing Feeling This. Even though it was only my second time seeing them, I left before the encore because I couldn’t hear Matt sing Carousel, the very first song I ever fell in love with. It wasn’t the blink 182 I started listening to when I was 10 years old. I think Mark/Matt/Travis mesh well together, and I think Matt is a very talented musician. I hold absolutely nothing against him as an artist or as a person ...but leave OG blink songs alone. Music, esp blink 182, means SO MUCH to my life. Hell, I even named my son after 2/3 of this band! I think Tom is so incredibly talented and has a voice no one else can even come close to copying. If Tom ever came back and they went on tour, I’d spend what little savings I have on front row tickets to see my favorite band one more time.
very well said, and i appreciate the respect shown towards matt, i think is something fans should do more often, even if they arent that fond of him, as a bigger alkaline trio fan i appreciate that. and you said it very well, looking back on those old shows and stuff, there is a magic they had that cant be matched today. i personally believe i havent been a blink 182 fan for that long, i kinda started listening to them during the neighborhoods/DED era so a while ago but not nearly as long as people who started getting into them in the early 2000s like yourself, i kinda wish i could have seen them during their golden era.
and while ive been happy with the current blink (except for john feldmann) i wish we can get something that involves mark tom and travis, though i think there could be something in a couple of years, this is kinda wishful thinking, but blink has many milestones (like 20th anniversaries of take off and the self titled album and the 30th anniversary of blink as a band )coming soon and i dont think tom would ignore those, we can only be hopeful that tom and mark are on good terms and could have talked about doing something, travis and tom are cool as far as i know
They’re coming back 🥹❤️
I hope you've been saving up, because your wish has come true!!!!
Yoooooooooo! Time to get excited, my dude! Whats your VENMO or CashApp, lets help this super fan make it happen with his family!
@@alfredrobertson7852 lol if only you were serious 🤣 this WOMAN would be pumped to see them again. But I don’t think I could sell enough organs to pay for just 1 ticket!
Tom's songwriting is incredible. It's hard to say which band of his I prefer but blink without him is not the same. Marks voice compliments him well and omg Travis is a God. Love Boxcars There Is and really enjoying rebel girl and kiss and tell. Tom's been able to grow so much with Angels.
Blink 182 are truly lucky to have Travis as their drummer. He's like the chick that could have any dude she wanted but she picked them (or he picked them in this case) lol. That dude's talent is incomprehensible.
@@Goodpizzaa i prefer the pre travis drumming myself.
I love all eras of Tom but self titled is my favourite. The guy might not be the most technical singer or guitarist but man he’s always had what it takes to write the catchiest songs.
Tom’s voice late 00’s early 2000’s is why people love Blink-182.
late 00's - you mean 2008-2009?
@@avlasyuk85 No, he meant to say late 90s through the early 2000s. This was the absolute peak of the band.
@@NytronX so Ryan should have written like you mentioned.
@@avlasyuk85 Correct 💯
The video syncing was a GREAT touch man, very high quality.
lol
There’s a huge leap in talent between TOyPaJ and Boxcar Racer. That project made him come into his own in a big way.
I think Box Car Racer was the best Tom had to offer. Even better than self titled.
That’s because Tom took the advantage of a break blink had from touring and wanted to challenge himself musically/lyrically, etc.
I remember hearing boxcar in 2002 walking around in a Walmart for this first time…I said to my friend “that sounds like Tom from Blink”. I still feel that BCR was the best.
I prefer his voice at the end of his ride in blink182, it has the most melody and best hooks of all his work
That's because that was after AVA where he really challenged himself as an artist and to become good. He only 6 songs on the first 6 albums. In comparison to Mark and Travis at the time he didn't do much as far as the initial creation of the songs goes. AVA made himself challenge himself to be better as an artist and musician and singer. That's why he sounded so much better when they got back together. Because Tom got a lot fucking better by doing what he did and continues to do with AVA.
Ikr, dogs eating dogs is so good
I miss Yom DeYonge in Yink One-Yeighty Ywo.
my yead hurts
He’s always in moy yead
Don't waste my toime oy me
@@mrchainsaw1094 yurts *
Prefer early Blink 182... obviously his voice can't stay the same forever though
but Mark's can
NonSpaghettiFace And Her Crap Content that’s because his voice is deep and vague
Very few people can replicate Tom’s voice precisely, considering it’s very unique
His Voice was always for me the pain of getting older and i always remember with him the best feelings in my youth as i walked through the darkness
Angels and airwaves shows how talented and creative he is. From the lyrics to the huge sounds and stories behind them. The band is very underrated. Tom creativity is super underrated . I don’t see people talk like he does when it comes to creativity, wanting the music to be more powerful etc
very well said, while i dont listen to angels and airwaves on the regular, they have done some really great stuff, alot of their 2010s material is really good, my favorite album of theirs being love pt1. also tom made, what is in my opinion, one of the best written songs ever with "tunnels", it really hits close to home for me, when it came out, a few people close to me passed away and i was just not in the best place, that song really helped me alot
@@mrchainsaw1094 glad to see some love for Tunnels, which is surely one of the top songs Tom's ever made. I think you're both right that AVA truly elevates him from a great melody writer to a great masterful artist. I mean, the Love albums are literally only one year apart and are stacked with beautiful, long songs with unique soundscapes, choruses and melodies. Only a genius can produce THAT much great art! And don't even get me started on the first two AVA albums, haha!
toms voice is amazing for any type of music
5:44 On this performance, Tom sounded with his Blink's voice, i love this version
Mah Ferraz Sou Homem Meu Perfil É Cópia De Outro that is the studio version played over the television performance. They almost all are.
Almost
Toms breaths sound like he’s dying
His ability of making riff is the reason why I became fan of Blink-182. Tom made so many catchy riffs of the songs like Dumpweed, What's my age again, Dammit and M&M's
Mark wrote the riff to dammit they talk about it in an interview in fact mark wrote the whole song Tom just sings the chorus in the live version
So glad I grew up on this
Goosebumps....still havin' goosebumps while listening to Tom...
He and Mark voices just play so well back and forth. Neither is as good without the other even if I’ll always like both of them no matter what they’re doing
yeah, i think marks was lower and cleaner, toms was higher and kinda nasally, it went so good together
Tom's voice is the biggest reason i love Blink182 ❤ Listening since 1999 ❤ i was 9😂 I had an older brother so he taught me right! 😎
Whatever, any time ,any age, I Love Tom (Blink-182) ❤️
man seeing the sessions at AOL was a complete throwback. I remember watching those when they first came out. where has the time gone?
His voice ages beautifully - like a good bottle of red wine.
I don't know why, but his voice sounds so much better starting in Take Your Pants and Jacket. And in Angels and Airwaves is so much different and also even better. Really an evolution.
That'll be the autotune
you forgot tom's voice in "There Is"
i did not....there is was a song from the 2002 boxcar racer album...i only add one song per year, and i thought that the footage i used from that show was the best i could find from here on yt...i could have used tv appearances but those usually get my videos blocked so...
There is has to be my all time favorite. Takes me right back to driving home to Virginia from Ohio to see my gf. Those were the best times of my life and I didn’t realize it.
I love his voice in missing you. def one of my favorites.
You mean "i miss you" ?
Wow...this was an emotional roller-coaster I did not think I was taking.
In I-Empire Tom's voice changed til today.
Tom hasn't created something I Haven't enjoyed in one way or another. I have deep memories of each at various points in my life. I love the variety and breadth of his musical work. Mark has done some great work outside of Blink and even those albums with Skiba have some killer tracks. In the end, it's all music that can be enjoyed at different times and for different feelings.
Box car racer is an UNTOUCHABLE era. Nothing comes close to it
It be nice if he played some the songs still live I think I'd actually cry if I ever heard there is live
“You said it, Brother”
Nah, blink is better
I have gotta say, when I was younger I listened to Blink-182 for the vocals from Mark mainly, but I still had a soft spot for Tom’s voice. When Neighborhoods and Dogs Eating Dogs dropped I never really connected with the way Tom’s voice was different in them. But now more than ever those two releases of Blink are my favorites!
Very interesting evolution, but his voice change is more notorious on live performances, when you hear him singing the classic blink 182 songs on their last reunion
It didn’t even sound like the English language. Sounded drunk and drugged
Tom DeLonge does not get the credit he deserves with music or his UFO research. His song writing is amazing especially with angels and airwaves. Dream walker is one of my absolute favorite albums. He evolved vocally, he experimented with his voice, and it is crazy just hearing the difference between him in blink and Angels. Love it and cool video!
I like tom and mark voice when he was in neighborhoods and dogs eating dogs..
Tom in Blink and Davey Havok in AFI are both interesting to listen to how their voices evolved over time.
Amazing vídeo man! Can you do it with all live performances (Tom live voice)?
ill think about it
@@mrchainsaw1094 lol, it would be a hard compilation
@@davidrubio3865 sure hahahahaha
I used to think there was a huge difference in his voice from the 90s and then today with AVA and the newish blink material but from this it just sounds like they had increasing production quality and his voice gets less gravelly almost like he quit smoking
blink eighteen two its awesome band, my adolescence was blink-182.
I really love this guy. Tom❤️
I love tom voice 2008 - 2012
Never knew about the We Dont Need to Whisper Acoustic version
i liked when mark waved at scott mid song
Loved this video. I wish for 2012 you included more of his verse in Boxing Day, but thats only because its my favorite song LOL. But amazing video!!!!
I forgot Brooks Wackerman filled in for Travis one tour. That dude is a beast and he seems to be everywhere lol
yeah Brooks is amazing, he really like a "go-to" drummer, he has worked with alot of bands including bad religion, the vandals and suicidal tendencies...also i think he played drums for toms "demos odds and ends"
Tom delonge always in my heart. His voice make blink.....
Back blink 182 tom your voice is irreplaceable
at the beginning was best !
You planning on updating this video when the new album drops?
i dont think so
The voice of a fucking generation and then some… his voice makes me so nostalgic.
My idol Tom and blink 182..
Good videos guys..

The Dream Walker is a way better album than it gets credit for. There isn't a weak track (and I definitely can't say that about other AoA releases).
1997-2007
For me the best tom
Ik the video is about Tom, but man do I miss Scott. He got me into drumming as a kid. I remember spending hours with friends covering Cheshire Cat and Dude Ranch... the good ol' times. Not to mention, our guitarist sounded like Tom damn near perfectly. Man I miss the 90's smh
agreed, i think when i was alot younger i used to be more of a barker fan than a raynor fan, but as i got got older i found alot more charm in the earliest blink recordings, now a days my favorite blink era would be from 93-98, while i dont listen to blink as much as i used to, i really find myself listening to alot of buddha, cheshire cat a dude ranch
04:44 the exact moment Tom Delong became wHeRE OUr yUo
99' iconic
Nice voice transformation, it makes him grow and try new things.
huge progress from year to year
i still love blink 182 a lot but Tom brought so much love and passion to blink which is kinda missing now a days in blink
2003 album is so underrated
Boxcar is excellent !
Thanks for this video!It’s cool 🙏🏻👍🏻
Blink 182 rocks and I don’t care if someone disagree’s 😂 best band ever
Such a legend
Always have, and always will love Tom. I think he sounds better now than he ever did. If you take a step back and look and think about all of the different stuff he's done, tried and succeeded in my opinion, I'm thankful that he didn't just stay with blink as mark doesn't want to evolve. Mark wants to do the same ole and Tom didn't and doesn't. The 2003 album was awesome, fresh at the time and I was excited to see where they were going; then split up. Neighborhoods was interesting, I liked it but it seemed broken up and pieced together. I hope they can work their differences out and work together but look at the current state of blink vs Angels and airwaves; to me AVA are head and tails over Blink and I don't mind Skiba. Blink should just sing their new stuff as Skiba doesn't fit the old blink of Tom, Mark and Travis
well said, i think blink has had a problem that i mentioned too many times before, but basically its trying to follow a formula that has worked for them before and replicate it (by this point it DOESNT work), though i think NINE was a good direction for the band, even though it was a little more outsourced (some say its a little disingenuous, and i can agree with it a bit, but not too bad)but i think some of the new producers have offered some really good ideas.
as for tom, i like that he hasnt been afraid of trying new sounds with AVA, i feel over all the 2010s works had so much variety to them, its pretty cool, it was refreshing. And you can tell he really takes his time with his work, sometimes id say too much time, he announces something and he takes forever to release it (i was hoping his new ava record would have come out last year but he only released a few singles of it), but over, all its really good material, and is always welcomed. But anyway, i hope he finishes it this year cause also alk3 is making an ep and im so ready for that
Aww u miss kiss and tell :(
i only add one song/album/ep per year, so it was either that or rebel girl, and personally i prefer rebel girl
travis is an amazing drummer never ever discredit his talent
Travis changed them for the worse
Una cosa es innegable, este tío ha tenido una carrera bien prolífica.
I used to try so hard to sing like Tom from the 2007 AVA era. My band leader hated it 😆
Nice clip of Travis in the background wearing the white tank top at the 1:33. Scott was still drumming back then.
people say drugs made his voice change...and then others say that he changed trhe way he sang...let me get this straight...how the fuck does changing the way you sing...MAKE YOUR VOICE LITTERLY SOUND COMPLETELY DIFFERENT! HIS VOICE IS SO DEEP! ON THE FUCKIN UNTITLED BLINK ALBUM IT WAS ALL HIGH PITCHY AND THEN IN FUCKIN I-EMPIRE HIS VOICE DEEP AS FUCK!
I think he was at peak performance at take off your pants and jacket but i love his new voice and his voice in the beginning
*Tom podrá ser mal cantante, gordo, mal amigo. Pero es uno de los mejores cantantes de Blink 182*
He isnt fat...da fuck?

Can we all agree this shit is dope?
God damn I miss 2000-2005 so friggin much. Best years of my entire life.
i feel you
1999-2003 WAS THE BEST VERSION OF TOM
Good video thanks
thank you for watching :)
I love Tom and I tried liking his Angels and Airwaves band but I couldn't to me he's always that goofy kid from Blink and always will, I'm so happy he is back together with them where his heart belongs 🖤
box car racer has the best Tom in general
Blink without him is like Destiny Child without Beyoncé, I love Blink, I am a 90s kid and Blink was band. Now that they are doing music without him I don’t care no more, I wonder why he left.
i liked that analogy haha....fair enough, truth be told i kinda miss tom, mainly for the humor during live performances, but i didnt like the 2009-2014 era of blink mainly because of what tom was doing, i do think he made some great songs during neighborhoods and DED but his playing, his singing and getting drunk before shows was kind of a killer for me and why i was forward with matt coming in.
as of why he left, he couldnt commit to blink, the way mark and travis wanted, or needed, i guess. plans for recordings were getting pushed back, shows were getting canceled because tom had so many things going on, writing books, making short films, making AVA records, the whole to the stars company, the UFO research etc. tom has said that there was more to him than just music so thats why he wanted to pursue other things.
but, i think, and take this with a grain of salt...tom could come back in between 2021-2023. i think blink is hitting many milestones during those years that i dont think he would ignore, like in 2021 is the 20th anniversary for take off your pants and jacket, 2022 marks the 30th anniversary of blink 182 as a band and 2023 is the 20th for the untitled album. also as of now, 2020 blink is eligible for being an inductee to the rock and roll hall of fame, so who knows plans for something with mark tom and travis could happen sooner than we expect.
Mr Chainsaw I really hope that he does come back and make an appearance. I mean he is the one who started the band lol. Yeah but I agree with what you said, he was into so many things and Travis and Mark only had Blink.
nice editing in this video!!
The Dream fuckin Walker. Check that out. Different Sound. But the groove and the songwriting..everything
Poet Anderson
Blink 182 sempre será seu lugar!
Oooh you used the breathy version of The Adventure
This voice...😍🔥 Love u Tom♡
And of course blink-182😊
Not a fan of this band anymore. But, I'm stoked that I do have the oldier cd singles from this band. and my fav is the Promo CD for M&M's / and Advanced Promo Of Dude Rance / and Cheshire Cat that reads 'BLINK'.
thats really cool man, what you say of having a copy cheshire cat without the 182 and the dude ranch promo..i can imagine they're somewhat of a rarity to find in nowadays. and yeah also as much as i like the blink discography as a whole, my favorite era of them would always be the very early years from 1993-1998, actually two of my favorite "releases" i stumbled upon in recent years are the original buddha demo, a guy named bighead2615 uploaded it to youtube and the quality of it is amazing, i think its better than the kung fu version, also the "Demo 2", they had so many good songs that never got released or properly recorded in a studio
@@mrchainsaw1094 the enema demos are rad. I used to have a music leak site. So I would get promo cds and such. But I bought most promos and cd singles off of eBay and discogs website. I'd love to get tomorrow and mark to sign the m&Ms promo cd single. I spent a bit up money on that. I got into blink when they played on MTV. I remember waking up after Christmas day and dammit came on and fell in love. Went to the CD store 'Strawberrys'. Got the disc and only had dammit on repeat. Till I decided to check rest of cd out. Dude ranch I enjoy.
so it took from 1995 to now for Tom to find the reverb button in the studio....
I really like his voice at 8:09 his voice just sounds so clean
that's so Fucking AWESOME Voices 🤘
The Time during A&A seems like a self-finding one for Tom.
Tom is so cool 😍
his voice is one of the best in my young years!!!!!!!!!!!!
His voice in "Mutt" just seemed so clean and pure 🔥
