Alkaline Trio "Cringe" Guitar Center Sessions on DIRECTV

[@tastybaconsensation]

There's literally no flaws with this performance. They could release this as a remastered version and nobody would know its live

[@nickdamron2896]

Very true my friend.

[@gee766]

That's because it's mastered and mixed before posting lmao, it's not "live" like a show would be, it's literally edited after for the promo.

[@-TheRealThing-]

I spotted tons of flaws, mainly with Matts playing.

[@comradecarabao9122]

This version is superior to the original studio version; I absolutely love this.

[@georgebarry591]

Seriously, incredible.

[@diabeticmonkey]

This is by far my favorite version of this song. It’s so dynamic.

[@jdizzlejake]

💯

[@jamiesomersuk]

Man that "lost it all" vocal absolute class

[@fattonyrap]

jamiesomersuk so impressive

[@patrickcarroll7185]

I agree

[@jezebelley]

This is one of their best songs and easily the best version. Absolutely flawless.

[@boywonderofficial1859]

Sometimes I wonder why bands with this much talent don't get noticed.

[@MelancholyMegan]

I know right. AK3 deserve so much more credit. They are one of the only GOOD punk bands out there from 90s - present.

[@goldenhourkodak]

Considering most bands won't crack 1k views on there music, Alk3 did just fine. They're still within the top 1% of rock bands.

[@redfiveroe1138]

Should've stopped singing about the devil so much. I have no issue but my friend's at school who loved blink and mxpx shied away from Trio.

[@andrewanderson1755]

Lol they're doing just fine and are better off without those dudes listening to em

[@walt.03]

satanism.

[@mapexdrummer4263]

Wow, Skiba's vocals are perfect

[@GooseIV]

Matt looks super badass here

[@lightningspidervenom]

Matt always looks super badass

[@fattonyrap]

easily one of their best performances of this song ever documented

[@himynameischris5357]

It’s been 10 years and I still search this up. Absolutely beautiful performance. Love A3

[@dnelson9498]

this is so rad ahhh Matt's vocals are flawless here

[@donbeck8835]

D Nelson DeMuglio!

@@donbeck8835 stumbling across the both of you on an old comment section is certainly a huge blast from the past, damn!

[@donbeck8835]

@@innitthough712 Been a long time. Haha!

[@edwardkoch9219]

This is the best ive heard matts voice in fucking years...

[@CharlesWBassist1]

He's cleaned up

[@danmancini4059]

+Ryan Hayden yeah GC sessions auto tunes everyone. Just part of the program

[@Redrobyn9]

Well they don't really autotune it. They just touch it up a bit.

[@Redrobyn9]

I don't understand what you're asking.

[@Redrobyn9]

Well autotune would mean they change the pitch to be perfect. But it seems like they just compressed it a bit to sound clearer.

[@TribeCalledJake]

They are masters of their own craft!

[@breakfastballpar4273]

I just ran a mile in the time it takes to play this twice...4 minutes 48 seconds...this song is adrenaline

[@Anthony-df4bs]

Still so much passion. I love it.

[@WarbrainJack]

Been a semi fan for years, insanely obsessed since about 3 weeks ago, I think this is my favourite performance of any song ever. All insanely talented, Skibas voice rounds it off beautifully. Incredible band, gutted I've missed out on years of fandom

[@sr24084]

A legendary performance of this Trio classic.... Mix sounded organic. Sonic orgasm....

[@rachelbeede]

The way Matt's upper lip touches the microphone at :48 makes me wish I were a mic...

[@scoobylost]

Always sounds perfect.

[@properthieve]

One of the only bands from this era that was so perfect live. Amazing

[@tehfluffynuts]

Dudes got pipes

[@davidhanni208]

Vocals are flawless

[@ToPoSiKoSiS]

The voice is soooo good

[@rackowalex]

"Feels like forever at midnight... Forever at midnight!"

[@g20gbk]

This why i love seeing alkaline trio live show

[@emileebc]

Best 2 minutes on the internet.

[@LautaroIbanez115]

Matt in Alkaline : ohh he's so good bla bla , in blink: oh Matt sucks we want Tom back , I can't understand y'all

[@donbeck8835]

Lauti Ibañez Because most Blink fans act like Matt sabotaged the band and “made it bad”, when they honestly haven’t sounded good since 2009. Matt just doesn’t take charge in blink because it’s not his band, so basically blink is the Mark Hoppus show, but somehow blink fans still manage to blame Matt for California.

[@rjn8001]

I’m a big fan of Matt’s.. but it’s not Blink. Change the band name.. do Blink covers.. but don’t call it Blink.

[@donbeck8835]

R JN Feldmann makes it even less of blink than anyone else. If he produced an album with Tom on it, it would still suck.

[@Joe-nv4pn]

@@donbeck8835 Yeah i would mostly blame Feldmann (and Mark) for the generic Pop Rock sounding album. Matt is just trying to help out. The only thing i put on Matt are the performances, it just feels like hes soulless (From my perspective), and when he messes up riffs, such as "Whats My Age Again", it just makes me... cringe *baduum tssss*. I really think they were going somewhere with that AVA sound with Tom, and with Tom gone, i think they should've just ended the band, and form a new band with Matt.

[@AfonsoEGM]

@@Joe-nv4pn but then again, when it was Tom fuckin' up the riffs in the early 2000's, people were like "hahaha, classic Tom, what a goof". I liked the direction they were going with Dog Eating Dogs, but Tom's commitment was 0%. They could surely have formed a new band with Matt or even reunited +44 (although I doubt Mark can still sing those songs).

[@seano3948]

Great performance

[@HarleyMothersole]

wide eyed. knee deep in surprise. just below your thighs the temperature drops 5 degrees. your stand-by flight has just arrived. tongue-tied, bleeding from your eyes. even Christ himself would cringe at the sight of your scars. while you're counting sheep, i'll count my lucky stars. you were the last good thing i ever saw. i lost it all. i lost it all. burned out on 2 hours of shut-eye. eyes glazed at the thought of the next 8 hours. headwind, cold rain to wake me. you were the last good thing i ever saw.

[@MCpjm2]

+Harley Mothersole I have a question! ever since seeing them play this song live I have NO CLUE what he says in the interlude part!!! Can anybody tell me what the hell he is saying!? It sounds so amazing and fits the song so perfectly. I wish they had included those lyrics in the recorded version

[@HarleyMothersole]

+MCpjm2 - Live life for ever and midnight. For ever and midnight.

[@MCpjm2]

+Harley Mothersole Thank you! Do you know where those lyrics come from?

[@HarleyMothersole]

+MCpjm2 - I just listened to the words he is singing.

[@hellobiafra]

killer bass

[@sr24084]

hellobiafra Danny absolutely destroyed that fretboard here! Derek’s drumming is some of the best studio quality skills I’ve ever heard, an absolute robot. Stellar performance by all three, best ever.

[@Paul-dw2cl]

I wonder if these guys ever read these comments. This performance is perfect.

[@donbeck8835]

Matt's voice is amazing. Different here than the album version. His voice has changed so much.

[@yesiyoongster1175]

We ❤️ Skiba 🙌

[@terciosantana4697]

come back to this from time to time and i always have my mind completely blown!

[@CKM-88]

Was just about to write ✍🏼 “just missing that scratch down the strings” and then it’s perfect!! And then…….1:29

[@capnchas]

I love this band and I love this performance.

[@Anthony-df4bs]

When I watch Matt play with Blink, I cringe. When I watch Matt lead Alkaline Trio, I get goosebumps.

[@drigo_226]

1:37 Matt's face is like... This sound's fucking good!

[@rvabrendan]

This is fucking great

[@canucks2017]

Love Matt in the new Blink but I'm still hoping to one day see an A3 show. Haven't yet & living so far away from typical tour destinations (near Vancouver) I wonder if they will ever come close but I hope somehow someway I see them. Such a kickass group.

[@Awesomeduud]

this song is so beautiful along with radio *.*

[@ddubzz6024]

"You only have 5 minutes left to live" *watches this twice*

[@GrungeScreaching]

the vocals are absolutely beautiful

[@pgryllos]

i think its one of the most well mixed alkaline trio's videos . and the guitar sounds f****g massivE!

[@MelancholyMegan]

I am in love with Matt

[@Imlarock]

I wish this was his guitar tone in Blink

[@TheSelena2721]

I love Matt! ❤️

[@therapture87]

GODDAMMIT this is so fucking good! gives me the chills

[@michaelkaczmarek5353]

[@bertvsrob]

these guys have saved my life numerous times

[@alextaylor8011]

Powerful song...

[@brokenwave90]

2024 still slapping! Best live version!

[@averyisland]

the impact of this song has changed over the years as these guys get older and the singing isn't as venomously aggressive but it really does still sound amazing

[@NoName-xw6pq]

And the world is a beautiful place, so I'm no longer afraid to die

[@klebersilvarodrigues9427]

Yep, in my guess its like the voice of somebody that have archieved what they always strived for, no more teenager ager, more like "a guy who has acomplished his dreams and now is enjoying all of it" kind of voice!

[@veterinarius7646]

Amazing!!

[@gabovazquez703]

❤❤❤

[@ExplodingBoyDk]

This is freaking flawless

[@goose4186]

Saw them again at Metro in Chicago. As always, the KILLED it

Best song about riding a bike in the freezing rain ever.

[@Sinisterkid34]

[@oOWrvOo12]

so good live

[@rockerchefdave]

This band has got me hooked.

[@prudencefitzenstein4916]

You can't really tell anymore cause the improv changed but the singing part during the bridge used to be the chorus melody for the song "5-3? 10-4"

[@LoLinForU]

1:37 Skiba fully enjoying himself

[@KristianEgs]

Whaaaaaaaaaaat, this is one kickass performance!

[@Justbreezintoday]

[@haxormax]

agreed. this was awesome. I went to the 2009 show where they played the whole goddamnit... but I think the A3 is just getting better with age.

[@DasLulu97]

DAMN. This performance has fcking BALLS!!

[@RSxxxxx]

How many of you are now Alkaline Trio fans because of Skibba joking Blink-182??? Aren’t you glad he did? ✊

I'm basically replying to a dead comment here. "Live life forever at midnight."

[@gstringfloss7417]

I bloody raped the replay button.

[@Pipebomb666]

I miss Glenn Porter, his drumming carries the energy of earlier releases. This performance doesn't have that "burnt out on two hours of shut-eye" feel. Still great tho...

[@lucazoti]

Anyone knows which Ray Ban's model Matt is using on these performances?

[@andredmtr]

RB4178 brown.

[@superspecky4eyes]

Epic.

[@angelalvarez3282]

Where is the full performance of this? Idk what do you think guys, but I need it

[@newthrash1221]

i had this recorded on my dvr and my mom came over and fucking deleted it. so pissed....i liked to buy a 6 pack, drink and put this guitar center sessions on.
