Tom DeLonge LOVES "the voice inside MY YEAD" - Does Not love "All the Small Things" - Repping So Cal 

Fire af

Nice, Tom is a real dude.

That’s bad ass!

So wholesome

Yeah it meant a lot. The Alien rock was so badass & unique. Found it at a thrift. I was struggling with drinking back then, so that act of him making good on his word boosted me up. Going on 4 years sober now and whenever I see clips of Tom or listen to his music, I’m always really appreciative. Good dude.

Nah everyone's going to know them for blink 182 and everyone's going to love and know their hits cause it represents a time where things were fun and simple and they were fun and upbeat songs. Only like new gen or people that think they are better than before are gonna be gatekeeper snobs about it. It's a weird cycle too where some people were snobs about the songs back then but now when they hear it, it reminds them of a better time it's nostalgic and wish they could appreciate it more when it came out. Tom needs to stop trying to hate on his past the interviewer had to stop him in his tracks to show him to appreciate it cause to be honest the road tom was going down in that interview was stupid.

Tom always said this dude! They finished TOYPAJ album and record company said "where's the catchy tunes for summer single?", so Tom wrote First Date and Mark wrote Rock Show both in one night. So...it was the record companies that forced them to write cheap singles for mass appealing to become hits

@@joneslive586 Exactly

@@IndigoLeague2BAmaster If people like their hits, that’s great. There’s a handful that I still really like too. It’s more when people disregard Blink due to some of their hits that I get irked since songs like First Date and The Rock Show aren’t good representations of the band in my opinion.

@@jarsenberg actually those songs are good. Like how aren't they not good songs? Cause they aren't complex or mature or edgy? The hits will always be the representation of blink 182 and there's nothing wrong with that yeah there's other songs to like or more lyrical songs or deeper songs from them doesn't mean it makes first date or or rock show bad songs. It more bothers me that Tom doesn't appreciate it I mean he left the band and just goes to join another band for a reason yes I'm aware he did the samething as a side project in the past with box car racers but right at the beginning of this clip he goes to defend his current band about "yead" then jumps to taking shots at his old band with poking at the song all the small things. Makes no sense to me he defended the word "yead" then tries to play it off as "he did it cause he thought it was funny" but yet contradicts himself in saying the blink 182 song all the small things lyrics sounds like a 14 year old wrote it. so saying "yead" cause it's funny to you in a song is not in the lyrical category of doing something that seems like a 14 old? compared to a other song you claim the lyric sounds like a 14 old? It's very ironic and contradicting if thats the case it has nothing to do what he was making up in the interview, for some reason he took a jab at blink 182 and then stood up for his current band angels and airwaves. I'm not sure what his beef that he acts like he wants nothing to do with blink anymore and why he split up but his reasons and attitude don't seem to align between the two. I mean even when I first heard angels and air waves hit song i thought it was just another blink song I mean I don't know where he thinks angel and air waves are anywhere different in sound or lyrics.

Cool story

@@kobweb2994 so cool

Thanks for that! Soooo sick!

Weird. I also met him at an AvA show and he kicked me right in the cock and called me a peasant

🤙

Me too bro! 🤘

✌🏼😆 same here

Me to! Also in the north of England!

So ur a dilf then 😉

That song takes me right back to being a kid in my parents’ car and being in awe f of what a power chord could do

@@Upside_Down_Guitar_Guy that's pretty cool. My fiance always say that this song is a time machine to her freshman year in high school. For me it's the most 2000 song I can think of...

Exactly. It represented a SPECIFIC TIME. Nostalgia is it's only crutch.

Nah it's cringe as f to hear now. Kidz bop sing along. Last time I heard it live the people singing along made me feel like a moron for being there

@@matthewstubblefield7337 sounds like you’ve got some internal issues to deal with

surprises let me know she cares.

What does the line about roses and stairs mean? There's a hidden message there?

@@ianjohnson171 no it’s because Tom’s girlfriend actually left roses for him by the stairs

@@holdenjacobs6032 Right. It's just a perfect lyric. The imagery is beautiful. So many great lines... 'watching, waiting, comiserating'... 'Turn the lights off, carry me home'... It's all the small things your girlfriend does to support you .Tom Delonge is amazing!

@@thebroomcupboard Woah, dude you just explained the song in a way I didn't think about. I love it even more now

hard to say, they have so many classics.

And oasis is biblical imo. Wonder wall is great but the hits are biblical. But I get it

@@jackmarlow4355 wonderwall is overrated!! the entire album is high level

Wonderwall is phenomenal

Wonderwall is great, just overplayed. So many great songs on What's the Story that are superior though.

I was in my early 20s, but in that same headspace...so, same here. Music has always been my ultimate safety net.

That’s how I felt at one point in time, now I’m depressed a lot 😂 Life is difficult but at least there’s things to distract ourselves with

Sounds like we’d have been friends. Love to you brother.

Yes! Them, and Eminem helped me through those Teenage years for sure

This has 182 likes 🥰

The fact you got EotS in grade four makes me so feel so goddamn old hahaha. I think i bought dude ranch in University.

I was there too!

1:01

Yup. The live version has an entire different energy and soul to it.

Hate to break it to you but carousel is not super well liked by Tom either. I'm pretty sure he's said he has no idea why that song was their most popular of their old stuff. If I remember right he said the song makes no sense and has some real gibberish lyrics according to him.

@@videosofdeath99 I can see that. It’s just one that I really like how it all melds together.

Man I’d take almost anything off of Buddha, Cheshire Cat or dude ranch over I miss you

Carousel from MTTS is absolutely one of the best.

Ditto!

Mess*

Wok temena kon iku

The guitar riff in Rock Show is sick tho

aww, i loved Rock Show. it spoke to me as a Vans' Warped Tour kid.

They didn’t. That’s just a story mark said on camera. They were already demos partial written

Well also, those songs came out 13 years apart. different generations...Master of Puppets was like early Gen-X kids, All the Small Things was firmly team Millenial

Nailed it

And Dysentery Gary xDD

That album perfect start to finish

Yesssss Aliens Exist → Going Away To College is the highlight of the album!

Adams Song for me. Blinks B-Sides we’re better than their hits in every single album.

@@markstaud This is true for most bands I like.

Developed my guitar and bass chops from Dude Ranch. During the summer back in 2001 going into 9th grade I’d wake up from my dark room, open the blinds and windows, let the sun shine in and blast Dude Ranch. Listening to those tracks back really let my imagination run about what high school and being an adult would be like. Such a trip.

That's the album that got me!! I was 15 when it came out and I got to see them on tour with Bad Religion promoting Enema of the state, one of my favorite shows, still have the ticket stub.

Dude ranch is a masterpiece from that single piece of time (mid 90's), it captures everything that a middle class misfit boy was back then, I love it, that album talked to me. For me, the best blink album ever.

Yeah that’s the best

Same here dude! Dude Ranch is my fav too, sounds so rad.

Same, but a lot of the people within the blink fanbase/community play it up to be one of their best songs. I don't really like ATST, to be honest with you [not to say that it's the worst thing in the world]. It's honestly kinda underwhelming when compared to the rest of the album. Tom's right: they do have better songs. IMO, tracks like Mutt, Dumpweed and Going Away to College should've gotten the spotlight that ATST got.

All The Small Things is alright but they have better songs. It’s just everyone knows it. I’d love to play Miss You or Pathetic in a cover band but people probably wouldn’t know it.

@@pratosaurusrex1128 I miss you is one of their biggest songs

@@Stevethebeve101 not in the U.K. it isn’t. I probably should have mentioned I was in U.K.

@@pratosaurusrex1128 If only you lived in Australia, they’d get crazy for Dude Ranch songs

Yes! And Carousal. The opening guitar riff is the best

Sunshine and Dick sprinkles...That should be the title for the next album 🤣

thank you!!
