blink-182 - Bored To Death w/Tom Delonge (LIVE) Chicago, IL | 5/7/23 | United Center

[@driftkim7015]

Wow.. Tom actually did really nice in this. His harmonization with Mark is totally insane!

[@anthonybornemann3659]

That's always been my favorite thing about Mark and Tom. They've always had great harmony

[@brandonnitro4029]

​@@anthonybornemann3659especially during the dude ranch, enema and takeoff era. Their voices contrasted perfectly

[@israeldillard9872]

👌🤘 I was Surprised he did very will even though it is Mark song and Melody they both did Awesome.

[@Knewak27]

This version is great. They sound so together during this performance.

[@taylortrevor909]

You can tell Tom is respecting the fuck out of Skiba. He sings Skina’s songs as well as he possibly can, without adding his usual “Tom-isms” to them. He wants to do it right and I fucking love it. Mad props to them all.

[@edgarberistain112]

Do they play any other Skibas era song tho? I think its only bored to dead

[@AfonsoEGM]

@@edgarberistain112 They also do Cynical.

[@davidnissim589]

He sent Skiba a private note thanking him for his time in the band

[@damiencarlocop7700]

True that, he even uses the same light green guitar every time they play a song that was written with Matt to give tribute to his signature neon-green guitar.

[@SaferSephiroth6661]

They totally wrote this song before Tom left the band last time. You can tell this song was wrote for toms voice.

[@Thebrainrotking]

Nobody seems to mention that Tom looks very young for his age and definitely got in shape for this tour. Way more energy than 2012 for blink especially from Tom. They are literally having a golden era right now it’s so cool to see. The spirit is and appreciation is so much higher now.

[@maxadrums]

Yeah. All about Tom is the best we’ve seen since pre neighborhoods. He really seems to be in it for the right reasons this time!

[@Izzi1967]

They are looking healthy, they're drug free and Travis doesn't drink or anything else. He's been clean s sober since plane accident where her was the only survivor!

[@maxadrums]

@@Izzi1967 not fully true - Travis wasn’t the only survivor. But yeah! Looking goo!

[@corymichalsen4574]

Felt this way a few years back seeing angels

[@david-nr4ok]

Finally seeing them live this tour and in person was incredible. They look, and sound great. They are having fun, which is the most important thing. God I love these guys.

[@muhamadarikfarik7809]

I'm happy because tom also wants to sing this song, i hope that in the future there will be blink-182 collaborating with matt skiba

[@brandonnitro4029]

they should tour with Alkaline trio and bring Matt on stage for some songs

[@Henningstar]

Toms "fading faaaast" is so fucking epic, adds another level to the song IMO

[@LukasEverding]

Exactly thought the same

[@JackPage-l4k]

Don’t lie, it sounds like complete shit. Dude is not holding a note for anything. He’s never been good at singing sustained notes

[@JackPage-l4k]

@@LukasEverdingwell you thought wrong cause it sounds fucking terrible. He can’t hold the note for shit.

100%! Take nothing away from Matt, the original is epic, but a re think with Tom would be crazy. Full circle

i’ve been thinking the same thing

[@Aweirdjoe]

Love that Tom agreed to perform some Matt songs. I loved California when I came out in 2016. That was good summer

[@durkiojackson3766]

i would never expected in 2016 for Tom to come back & sing this 😭

[@adayinforever]

One of the best summers of my life. But Bored to Death actually reminds me more of the summer of 2017.

[@andresambu931]

this song with tom delonge would fit in any angels and airwaves album or even neighborhoods.

[@XxTheShootingStarxX]

How lol

[@KidAMRadio]

I don't agree at all. This sounds nothing like those albums and wouldn't fit in. It's an "okay" song but not up to those standards.

He recognizes it as a great song and is proud of Mark for writing it

[@L3WIS97]

Never would have thought he'd play a blink song he didn't write

Tom was born to sing for Blink 182. His voice and Marks blend so well.

[@Greatlakeskyle.]

Ngl this one was a tad rough for Tom

[@JohnDoe-cd6ro]

It's crazy hearing this considering I used to sing all of Skiba's songs in Tom's voice as a joke and this is exactly the way I imagined they would be like. We truly live in a simulation.

[@thedreamwalker5807]

Wow i love that riff tom added at 3:20 they should record this version in the studio

[@pedroscruiser]

Sounds like an AVA riff. It went well in this song.

[@The_Young_Swag]

​@@pedroscruiserSurprisingly, if you listened to the California album, you'll hear Angels and Airwaves intro syth on most of the songs. Especially on the deluxe version.

Part of what made blink so great was the connection with mark and tom, and we know that their friendship wasn’t was very strong after the first hiatus, or even after box car racer in 2002. But now, they are back for good and their friendship is going strong!

[@pedroscruiser]

From what I read (which was other fans speculating on social media lol) they were only going to play songs they made together and skip the Skiba songs. Which saddened me because they made great music together. It's really good to see Tom playing some of those songs. I hope they are able to keep the peace and harmony they’ve been having as a band and as friends lately.

[@flab4204]

I think people didnt like California (deluxe songs included) and NINE bc there was no tom and the guitars felt off, im glad ppl like when tom sings the matt songs considering i genuinely like some of the skiba songs especially darkside
