blink-182 - Down (AOL Sessions)

Music video by blink-182 performing Down. (C) 2003 Geffen Records

[@bjizzle44]

I downloaded all of these session videos on imesh back in 2003. Took like four hours, but it was worth the wait. You kids today have it easy man haha

[@alexisoliva979]

yeah not like kids have the same shit you had when you was kid

[@johnsonDcrazy]

+Alexis Oliva and that's why we kids from the 90s are way better than your punk asses. haha you guys didn't had the moment of having your first game boy smfh

[@charlesxavier3141]

johnsonDcrazy I was born in 2000 and had the pleasure of having my first GameBoy, cost like £80/£90 back then, now its worthless

[@MrRidder87]

boi you had it easy when you were able to see blink in their classical era live

[@KingBlonde]

He's not wrong, but then again, we have faster internet but the world is a much sadder place now.

[@quadcannon95]

Tom sure does know how to make one chord sound really cool.

[@Hazelpupps]

it's not even a chord lol, it's an octave, which is sorta just one note, so hes making a single note sound badass

[@Mayunholdup]

This is when Tom's hair was at its peak awesomeness. Also, true Blink fans don't talk about how shitty they sound live sometimes. They know they sound shitty and so do their fans. We don't fucking care.

[@coffeelips1373]

I'm trying get this hair style lol

[@SadGoldenPuppy]

ryan leddy And even then they sound fantastic

[@jacob-vt9bd]

And it's usually only tom, but he's only bad half the time, and it's because he's drunk or nervous, but you're right true fans like us don't care

You can tell tom is very concentrated during the verses like he wants to sound on point and sound his best. He really cared during this session

[@drettysnapped7605]

So cool watching this, down is my favorite blink song and you can see how their live adaptation of the outro has really evolved over the years. In this one you can tell they're still working out the kinks. They would eventually perfect the arrangement a year later on the David Letterman performance

[@benjaminfarrar934]

I've listened to this over and over, great performance, especially as a three member band. Rock on y"all "90's" were the g.o.a.t!

I love them so much honestly they are my favorite band. I will never see blink as a whole live. This thought depresses me... they are so amazing

[@Messifi10]

‘Blink 182 Down kids choice award’ Thank me later..

[@h_nt_r]

Ya know even with Tom's voice being auto-tuned to a good point in their actual music, his voice is awesome in the music and I would rather keep him in the band. It was almost painful to listen to their latest album California without his voice, and it certainly would have been better with him in it still, particularly with the guitar riffs and such.

[@Embryonicboy]

The sound people on these AOL recordings did an awful job. Bet this sounded awesome live too! Good performance though.

[@RTM950]

@@terdferguson9516 It would be fucking fantastic

[@jedschrock7636]

@@jedschrock7636 i think they meant figure out how to play the untitled songs live, since a lot of them have other instruments and are very experimental

[@CharlieCostelloe69]

I'm sure the self titled album destroyed Tom Delonge's voice

[@CharlieCostelloe69]

***** Of course, I always forget that he had cancer.

[@Fa5Squad]

+Ondrej Kurc he never had cancer he had back sergury and was addicted to painkiller

[@sroliverjr8267]

+jdmda989 He announced during a breast cancer campaign that he had skin cancer in 2010. The change of voice is just years of straining and aging it has nothing to do with pain killers

[@zaysef]

He just wanted to change the way he sang. It wasn't the painkillers, and it's not that he strained his voice. If you watch, "Letters to God" live from BCR, you can see that he was already singing differently live. But in the studio for this album, he sounded just like his old self. If you watch the 2003 album launch, you can see he sounds just like TOYPAJ Tom when recording.

[@KingBlonde]

Man, what a silly thing to say. Listen to him sing pre-untitled era live, he was using so much fry in his voice (especially dude ranch days) and it eventually caught up to him. Untitled era was when he started kind of caring for his voice, but he got some sloppy half-assed advice and no one is willing to give him constructive criticism so he's gone down a bad road.
