      Nah they probably would've sounded more like Angels and Airwaves. That's what Tom thought they would've done next after untitled. Hell, in the 2003-04 concerts, before Tom starts playing 'down', Tom plays a riff that sounds just like something that would be used for AVA lol.

He might not have ever played bass if it wasn't for the Cure, especially considering the first song he learned was A Forest.

Just high energy blink having fun and making it their own...knowing that a large amount of Cure fans probably won't like it. Robert obviously sees it in the right way and likes it a lot, which is awesome. He did sing an entire song on their self-titled record and he thought that record was really good!

    This performance is so damn good and underrated!! Blink was never better than this period after they released the self titled album. That album was pure master piece and as a teenager it took me a couple listens to really buy into the new record bc I wanted take off your pants and jacket and enema sounding blink. I quickly got over that and that it became my favorite and it has aged like a fine wine into my early thirties! This cover in front of the cure is just an added bonus to that awesome sound they created for that album along with Not Now!

    Lyrics:
    Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile
    Forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this
    Oh Elise it doesn't matter what you do
    I know I'll never really get inside of you
    To make your eyes catch fire
    The way they should
    The way the blue could pull me in
    If they only would
    If they only would
    At least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else
    That hides away
    But you and me, we're worlds apart
    With aching looks and breaking hearts
    And all the plans your hands can make
    Oh I just take as much as you can throw
    And then I throw it all away
    Oh I throw it all away
    Like throwing faces at the sky
    Like throwing arms round
    Yesterday
    I stood and stared
    Wide-eyed in front of you
    And the face I saw looked back
    The way I wanted to
    But I just can't hide my tears away
    The way you do
    Elise... believe I never wanted this
    I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
    I thought you were the girl always dreamed about
    But I let the dream go
    And the promises broke
    And the make-believe ran out...
    Oh Elise
    It doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile
    Forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this
    And every time I try to pick it up
    Like falling sand
    As fast as I pick it up
    It runs away through my clutching hands
    But there's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else
    I can really do
    At all...

I guess alot of ppl didn't take Blink seriously back then because of their poop jokes and songs about blowjobs. That self titled album is still their masterpiece. I mean they've matured a little from the poop and blowjob songs, sounded like their favorite 80's bands yet still hadn't lost their energy of previous albums.

      i even think that song is about as good as it gets meshing the cure and blink together, they really did a stellar job in creating a song that would fit the cure style and that wouldn't lose blink's essence

    Mark and Tom are huge cure fans and a lot of what started Blink-182 was The Cure's influence. I could see the try-hard in Mark and TONS of energy from Tom. Travis is BEASTING IT as always and those small nods from Robert Smith during the performance must be such a huge honor and bucket list check from each band member. Damn what a great performance and cover.
    And blink-182 being intro'd by Marilyn Manson himself? shit. wow. Never thought i'd see the day.

    To me, this is Blink-182's best live performance ever. It's slightly better than the Pepsi Smash "I Miss You," which is weird because "A Letter To Elise" isn't even a Blink song.
    If I remember correctly, the band rehearsed religiously ahead of the performance to give Robert Smith and the gang a good impression, and give justice to the song. Blink-182 rarely rehearsed. After all, they're a punk rock band.
    It's also great that they decided to give Mark all the vocals here. Tom would've fucked it up with his voice. At least he got to concentrate on his absolutely brilliant guitar work here. And Mark's voice is obviously closer to that of Robert Smith compared to Tom.
    Absolutely grand tribute and performance by the band.

Also it's cool that blink is still popular today among people in highschool and whatnot. Adam's song got me through my darkest days of highschool until tomorrow held better days.

    La mejor etapa de blink-182 sin duda. Ya tenían una mayor madurez musical y personal. Me imagino cómo habrían sido los álbumes posteriores al Untitled si no se hubiesen separado y pienso que blink pudo haber llegado a ser una banda de culto, algo increíble.

    This was a lot better than I remembered it. I was watching it during the original broadcast, and I recall thinking something along the lines of "Oh, this is cute, they really tried to put some skate-punk clothes on a 90's Cure baby!" Seeing it now, some of the earliest parts are still a little rough at times, but by the time they get into the breakdown just after 2 minutes in, it honestly works...in a pretty surprising way. Also thought the little snippet of the original guitar tone at about 3:08 was great, fucking cheeky!

    [Chorus]
    Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile, forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this
    [Verse]
    Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you do
    I know I'll never really get inside of you
    To make your eyes catch fire
    The way they should
    The way the blue could pull me in
    If they only would, if they only would
    At least I'd lose this sense of sensing
    Something else that hides away
    From me and you, there are worlds to part
    With aching looks and breaking hearts
    And all the prayers your hands can make
    Oh, I just take as much as you can throw
    And then throw it all away
    Oh I'll throw it all away
    Like throwing faces at the sky
    Like throwing arms round yesterday
    I stood and stared
    Wide-eyed in front of you
    And the face I saw looked back the way I wanted to
    But I just can't hold my tears away the way you do
    Elise, believe I never wanted this
    I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises
    I thought you were the girl I always dreamed about
    But I let the dream go
    And the promises broke and make-believe ran out
    [Chorus]
    So, Elise it doesn't matter what you say
    I just can't stay here every yesterday
    Like keep on acting out the same
    The way we act out
    Every way to smile, forget
    And make-believe we never needed
    Any more than this
    Any more than this
    [Outro]
    And every time I try to pick it up
    Like falling sand
    As fast as I pick it up
    It runs away through my clutching hands
    But there's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else I can really do
    There's nothing else I can really do
    At all
