Jose Toledo People only know Alkaline Trio because Matt plays in Blink 182. I was (still am) huge trio and Matt fan. People should listen to Alkaline Trio. They are great and Derek Grant is just as good at drums as Travis.

[@MikeP2055]

I took my last dose of methadone on 10/13/08 after 11 years on dope. I don't know why I'm telling you good people. It sounded better in my head. I'm pretty sure this song is about a lover or something.

[@beezybeez7231]

Hell ya! This is so good but you must hear “Cage” or “World” by SLT 🔥🌎🔥🌎🔥

[@StreamStationAlpha]

I found out about Alkaline Trio right around Blinks first hiatus and they were just fantastic. To have Matt in the band is great it's like a dream super band melding together

[@aragorn2elessar262]

I remmeber when this record came out, this was the first song on the album and my mind was blown, played this on every instrument i had i couldn't get enough of it.

[@Ferdi900]

Does anybody also think the camera work in this clip is just sublime?

[@camferguson1574]

Alkaline trios just not the same without Tom

[@alonehades100]

nailed it

[@benji3116]

You're right, without Tom they have a band member that cares about both the band and their fans. A band member who isn't going to run away to go alien hunting instead of doing his job. You realize he didn't even listen to Neighborhoods before its release right? He literally stopped giving a shit about everyone who loved his music. And then lied about it all when Mark and Travis called out his bullshit. Blink with Tom was and is very much dead, Blink with Matt manages to live on. I'm happy with that tbh.

[@aidenmerry6223]

Ben Wilson but dude he was on about alkaline trio...😂

[@weakweek85]

Yeah, but now Trio barely exists :(

[@Jug_or_not]

ok, but the person has nothing to do with the quality of the music... part off what made their old records so awesome was the contrast between Mark's more refined and Tom's unique voice (honestly a shame that his voice changed later on)... Mark and Skiba on the other hand sound very similar

[@kirkboo10]

Never thought Matt being in Blink would bring Blink fans to Alkaline trio.... He must be a genius! For all you Blink fans coming over, browse the whole AL3 discography. Seriously each album has its message and quirks. Each one stands alone as a great album. You can find each album in full on KZbin.

[@JBRJSB]

I know there are many comments about why people dislike, but I dont understand why they do dislike in this song, because it's not a bad song thats a fact

[@Luksmf]

Man, I'm glad I found this. You guys make good music, quality is the word. Seriously, you guys deserve so much. Really good music. Awesome!

[@PhilipDavies62]

Beyond always relevant, this kills me every time I hear it. "Those other drugs like methadone", crumpled in a heap.

[@MikeP2055]

If you're on methadone, keep it up! If you need methadone, do it! I was strung out for 7 years before getting on methadone. There's a ton of misinformation about methadone, but that shit saved my ass.

[@coralinekozun7325]

See I freaking LOVED This Addiction, it just feels like such a personal album. Plus sonically it's a phenomenal throwback to Alk3's earlier days, while still showing that they've grown up a lot since then :) Idk, I just love it X3

[@BOG0690]

good album to bounce back with. more of that old school trio sound. i hated agony and irony well maybe not hate. this was good though

[@AutumnAbstract]

Vanilla Bean man you guys are smoking crack. I love ALL of trios albums and Matt's side projects especially And The Sekrets. loved Dan's solo stuff too. I've Enjoyed watching them grow, evolve and mature. California was great too, I just wish Mark and Travis gave Skiba some more room to be Skiba and not try to force him to sound more blink-ish. which I understand. it's not bad. I enjoyed it def. but we all know if you put Skiba in a studio and just let him loose we would get something epic.

[@coralinekozun7325]

Brent Wilbur toats agree mate :)

[@supershqipa]

AWESOME!!! Alkaline Trio sounds like the band of my youth!!!

[@Freekkyyyy]

Alkaline & Blink are my 2 favourite bands and have been for over 8 or so years, anyone just discovering Alkaline trio listen to Goddammit, From Here to Infirmary and Remains, you won't he disappointed

[@dzarsos]

...and Maybe I'll Catch Fire and Good Mourning. Might as well get it all.

[@nycmode75]

I saw them in vegas last year and it was an amazing show. I love all their albums and this is no different. This Addiction is an awesome song!!!

[@Tob1Kadach1]

So glad he joined blink or I would have never found out about this band

[@acemcfly101]

+C Austen wow really? I had the opposite experiencing. Was a hardcore blink fan since dude ranch, so naturally found out about alkaline trio during the huge punk rock wave that happened around eneme/take off and all the Atticus cd compilations they put out always promoted alk3 highly. They were one of the prominent bands for blink fans back then, so hearing they chose him to replace tom was so awesome. Felt like I literally could not imagine a better choice. So cool to combine those 2 bands. both have been big favorites of mine for decades.

[@denioktora]

+C Austen GIVE ME A FUCKING BREAK? alkaline trio is huge in the early 2000's, Stupid kid is their single which been around on local radio at that time.

[@Tob1Kadach1]

Maybe local radio in America, over here back then it was either green day, blink 182 or urban rap music on the radio

[@acemcfly101]

***** No, you're right. Alk3 was only played on stations that promoted more indie/underground groups, so it depends what stations you lived near, but they are still considered a cult classic of their genre. Plus, during the age when punk was booming, radio was the last place you went to to learn about good bands. The internet, concerts, slightly tv, ect - and if you were a big fan of blink between like 97 and 03, you should have been well aware of ATTICUS. They couldn't rep it any harder. They put those comps together. If you were familiar with Atticus, you loved Alkaline Trio. It's just the way it was. Atticus was a great way for Blink fans to broaden their horizons. So again, I'm very surprised to hear you somehow missed them. If you wanna find out about the other bands you missed out on. I suggest you go download Atticus - Dragging the Lake volumes I & II.

[@acemcfly101]

deni oktora I think Private Eye was their biggest at that time. Then stupid kid. Radio was also popular.

[@PatoGuzmanAd]

I hate the fact that blink fans will relate Matt and Alkaline Trio to the first video on KZbin, hear the older songs they are far better than the actual stuff, 'All on Black', 'Queen of Pain', 'Radio', or 'Time to Waste'.

[@jsh020]

hey come on, alkaline trio is one of the few bands that have stuck around this long yet still remained good, granted ill admit i do think this addiciton is their weakest album, the title song is really the only song i can jam out to. but agony and irony was fantastic and so was my shame is true. Yeah their old stuff is great too but they just in general are

[@lsaintx4133]

Then I listened Goddammit and Here From Infirmary and now alkaline Trio is one of my favourite bands. My favourites songs are Southern Rock, Im Dying Tomorrow, Stupid Kid, Nose Over Tail, Another Inocent Girl, Time to Waste,Private Eye, Radio and more. I love this band now. Thanks Tom , you made me listen this awesome band. Sorry for my english

頼むから殺し合いや戦争はもうやめて　セックスしよう　そうして一つになる痛みの方が君を幸福に導くはず　そして沢山の子どもをつくって僕は朝から晩まで君の為に働いて「喜んで」　土曜の昼過ぎから出かけよう　世界中を僕たち家族でぐるぐる回るよ　ついておいで手をはなさないでおくれ　君の肌の色は小麦色だね　褐色の強い腕でグイグイ青白い僕の手を引っ張っていってほしい　インディアンのおじさんから買ったブレスレット　二人のブレスレット　約束がまだはたせてないから死なない　君がどこで生まれたかなんてどうでもいいから　ゲルマンの少女は好むがヒトラーはＮＯ！と言え　保守派の親父とホーマーは死にさらせ　僕は働くよ　嫌なことだってするできるさ　君がいるかぎり僕は無傷　掠りもするか！　いつか真黒のクロンボの阿保でトンマなトリオに逢ったら伝えてくれ　最高だって　内臓のバカヤローの詩　誰もききたがらないけど　いいゼ　君がついている　僕にだって出来るのら
