Note To Self: ALL TIME LOW advise their younger selves

Could you imagine what All Time Low were like in high school?
“Hi, I’m Alex. I’m 17 years old, and I’m a chronic masturbator.”
In this video, the guys discuss their teenage years and advice they would give their younger selves.
Rian confesses that he only saw the band as a hobby and would get super irritated when his bandmates would stay over past band practice and eat all his food.
His Advice: "We're 27 now, and I can't tell you a real problem I had in high school that wasn't fixable," he said.
Alex stated that he was fairly insecure and made up for it by being a class clown. He later admitted that wasn’t really a “chronic” masterbator, but maybe above average.
His advice: "[Don't] be so concerned with what people think; have a little more confidence in his everyday life."
Alex was completely over school at this point and believed the band would make it big. “I definitely did think the band had a shot. I didn’t know how we were going to get there, but I sort of thought that we had something that was worth chasing.”
Jack Barakat was quite the troublemaker in high school. “I was kind of the kid that always liked attention-I would act out in class, I would wear ridiculous things,” he said.
Zack Merrick was quiet, avid skateboarder and athlete. He felt in high school he was "always searching for something."
"You don't have to look for the answer; the answer will fall into place for you," Merrick said. "The answer might be in front of you, and you might not even know it." -Sarah Force

This turned into Rian ranting about people eating his cookies.

[@altpress]

[@KaityWelchman]

+Alternative Press Honestly, it was much needed baggage that he had to release

[@bandsheaven9829]

[@laurahuebert1292]

Jack- Deep Never lose yourself stuff Rian- DON'T EAT MY COOKIES

[@louisahauth1006]

no I love it too!! it just rarely happens and it's so nice to listen to his voice, I love him😊

[@Soupslutt]

I love zack he is so underrated

[@Isabella-se4cb]

Jack, Alex, and Zack in this video: Talk about believing in themselves, not stressing out, and not caring what people think. Rian in this video: Talks about his bandmates eating his cookies and stealing his YooHoos

[@theprettyoftheodd7997]

In my mind I was really rebellious, but In real life I had good grades, loved my parents, loved marching band, loved my government" omfg Rian THIS INTERVIEW IS SO PRECIOUS AND ITS MAKING ME CRY

[@Soupslutt]

The Pretty of the Odd i said this to my mom and she said i was very me

[@daniramirez3275]

I love how Alex and Rian are talking about Cookies and Brownies and Jack is all serious

[@hollyjones8647]

I love how Jack is actually being serious and inspirational in this I love him

[@nerissajackson998]

I know 😢😢

[@abiblane2897]

rian hates all time low more than luke hates 5sos

[@phanisreal5336]

lmao

[@nat-bx9vo]

hmm, it's very close I'd say

[@maddiesnyder9984]

Abi Blane that's a lot of hate

[@luciazuzu5577]

You got a point there

[@wescreamweshoutwearethefal2578]

I think its a close call.....

[@crashbruno]

I love that after they cut to Jack and Zack and cut back to Rian, he was still talking about the brownies. The editing was awesome and made it seem like he was talking for 3 minutes about 'his' food. Love them so much!

[@madanium]

That is the most serious I have ever seen Jack

[@justjaida7441]

Zack was quiet? No way

[@lenajn13]

+JustJaida ikr who would have guessed?

[@Sasha-up9er]

Almost as unbelievable as Jack being a troublemaking joker..

[@lenajn13]

i seriously cant believe that jack would have ever been a trouble maker. out of all of them he's always seemed to most decent

[@idegas2794]

Are you sure? No way!

[@prettynightmare1734]

+lenajn13 are we talking about the same Jack?

[@andreasara8876]

everyone will end up alright somehow that's pretty.. wise ?

[@andreasara8876]

like it's a new point of view on the whole "do what you want bc nobody cares" thing

[@nadine1362]

+Andrea Ruhstaller It is and I like it

[@cadenisforeverbored1612]

+Andrea Ruhstaller I would call it a "new perspective"

[@nv8597]

one of the teachers at my high school went to school with them and he fucking hated them lol. he was in marching band and hated pop punk bands like them so I think he had a lot of jealousy and resentment towards them. he also said they were loud, obnoxious assholes in class lmao. he's a pretty awesome teacher and all the students love him so I shocked when I found out he hated them so much. I would've thought they were cool if I were their classmate

[@Rafaela-lt2pg]

if they were in my school i'd be the creep that stares and whispers "what did i do wrong why am i not them"

[@nv8597]

+Rae. same haha ATL is awesome

[@PebzY17]

I think they just rub him in a wrong way... some doesn't like noisy and loud people They think they're weird and crying for attention. that kind of situation always happens to me, I act like Jack minus the running naked thing... so maybe your teacher and the ATL guys doesn't run in the same circle his always one of those people thinking "what a jerk" but doesn't make a move to get to know them better :)

[@nv8597]

pebbles bautista yeah that may be what happened in his case. He seems to have a totally different sense of humor from them lol

[@user-yh8li2tm8g]

really like hearing zack too

[@SamHackenson]

Rian thinking he's a punk but getting good grades, loving his parents, and loving marching band was literally me at 17 too lmao

[@tasha1200]

as soon as zack starts talking I uncontrollably start smiling and I can't stop he just makes me so happy

[@PERBub95]

they owe Rian a lifetime supply of cookies and yoohoos

[@Olivia-xp4dn]

That drop dead sweatshirt that Zack is wearing......OLI STOP MAKING PEOPLE WEAR YOUR STUFF

[@Olivia-xp4dn]

Note to self: STOP BEING THE 169th LIKE THIS IS THE 2nd TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TODAY

[@drealoera]

[@aimaab]

Did I hear Zack saying he was quite? I would never have guessed

[@Kensley155]

7 years of my life so far has gone to this band...... I don't regret anything!! :D

[@Kevinsmoonlight]

I can't believe I'm meeting these in less than 24 hours. Also uhhh is it bad that I relate to Alex more than anyone? XD

[@leamay5429]

aww have fun meeting them 😍👍you're so lucky

[@noumidiab.3002]

HAVE FUN!!! YOU'RE SO LUCKY

[@Kelsey1309]

+RyroSaysSANTI Definitely not. You always tend to relate to someone in a band more than others :) For example, I mostly relate to Zack as I'm quiet and softspoken (also kind a booknerd aha). Enjoy meeting them!

[@tiffanyxd7238]

I met them in October and they're so amazing and super nice

[@Kevinsmoonlight]

Oh man I didn't see any of these comments but thank you!!! It was amazing meeting them and I think I cried. I made them mini versions of their instruments and gave them to them.

[@huntercrunch94]

It's so weird and almost uncomfortable hearing Jack being wise and serious. P.S Alex is extremely handsome.

[@victoriaatienza5021]

Rian: "I'm a rebellious boy - in my mind.." haha. I love these guys so much. I think Zack has really so much going on in his mind and I just really wanna know all of them. I think he has pretty thoughts.

[@katiewilloughby5620]

Ryan:totally cool rebellious band dude *Gets upset when people eats his mothers cookies and brownies*

[@jennifer6898]

I just almost started crying because I have never related more to anything in my life

[@trinityt7708]

"Those are MY cookies." Same here.

[@idontknowhowbuttheyfucking2933]

I like Alex's hair in this.... It's like a metallic blueish and I love it

[@icarus6492]

its awesome how all of them have different mindsets back in highschool and yet their band stick together till today.

[@saltwater5308]

0:52 "i love marching band" hearing that come from one of my idols means so much to me im CRYING

[@kristicheese7391]

Zack, I'm glad we got to hear from him. I would love to hear from him in other videos more often.

[@anitabetterthandvd]

Jack, Zack, and Rian, Alex are kind of my favourite pairings ever.

[@Scorn4Narwhal]

Am I the only one who noticed Rian trying to correct Alex's grammar when he said "Rian have(or maybe it was had,Idk) problem" and Rian was like "have,have" Then Alex changed the sentence to "Rian has a problem" Haha they are so adorablee

[@belindasacco6227]

Zack seems fucking deep. Me and him could have had conversations.

[@mariavoznuka9569]

"When I was a teenager I was a really quiet person" REALLY ZACK ARE YOU SURE
