I am looking for the full show of the 1999 Teen Choice Awards. Blink 182 were at this event. The full show is not uploaded on the YouTube or archive websites. I have been looking for this show for quite sometime, and I would love to see it. Lots of great musicians, actors, actresses, films, and television shows were nominated and there at this. Hoping that someone here may have this show. Thanks.
Wife surprised me with this for our Anniversary, thought I'd share a few details for those who are curious about it.
Build quality is fantastic! It equals my 90s Deluxe models. Frets are perfect, checked them with a rocker and all are perfect! The finish is matte off white, not quite as dark as Olympic white, but not Alpine white either. The pot has very low friction, appears to be a CTS but i cant really tell from so much solder.
Fretboard is the darkest Rosewood guitar i own now. Red streak going down the whole board is neat. Came very dry however.
Couple of surprises under the pickguard (see pic) Sheilded paint cavities, not even my Deluxes have this. Also there is a streak of Green paint in the circular hole cut out (maybe a refin??) Came with a signed COA and tools. The gig bag is super thick and heavy duty like a USA PRS bag. Very tight guitar fit. I might round off the fret ends so it feels more like my 90s deluxe Strats, other than that it plays like butter, sounds badass!
Any one interest, shoot me a dm
DM me!
I'd like to get Tom's autograph for a friend of mine who's a huge Blink fan. Anyone know of an avenue that might be possible by mail?
Pics, videos, anything from the early days or current days you may have regarding the band in any sense. I do intend to go through the documentaries myself but if you’ve got anything else drop it here
Hello all,
I've started a project writing essays about Pop Punk & Emo albums from the 00s that I consider to be important. I want to go more into the background of these albums, what makes them special and what they say about the time they were made- and the people who made them.
Two of the first I've written about are +44's When Your Heart Stops Beating and Box Car Racer's self titled. I know there's a lot of love for these bands here so thought I'd post.
You can find the essays in the links above to my substack.
Both podcasts, where I use the essays as a base and explore some other tangents, are available on Spotify +44 here and Box Car Racer here.
There's lot more essays and podcasts coming about other albums. I've got about 10 album essays in the tank written so far- so feel free to subscribe on either/or platform if you like what I'm making.
Thanks to anyone who checks it out, appreciate you.
My level 40 blue 1her's hit for almost DOUBLE what my Sul'Thraze does. What kind of sense does that make? So if I WANT to use traps in combat, i HAVE to hit like a wet noodle? Doesn't feel right.
I get needing to sacrifice, and honestly I wanted to dual wield, but am willing to use a 2h to pvp with traps in combat, but wtf?? It does awful less damage than DW!?

What was your experience meeting Tom? :) 👾👽💖
So I woke up with a great feeling of nostalgia and remember all the countless hours listening to blink, boxcar racer, angels & airwaves when I was young and I feel like watching a bunch of music documentaries where Tom Delonge was in. Do you guys know which I should watch and in what order please?
Probably Amazon having a meltdown, but am keeping my fingers crossed...

I've removed the tab breakdown from the videos and replaced links to google drives for each album, I still need to amend the how to play like blink 182 tutorials but that will be done once I've uploaded the albums.

Hi Guys,
I've been going through some of my old stuff and I've found a few tutorials that I've decieded to upload to Youtube.
These are a few years old but have a lot of meat to them from the basics of how Tom plays to full ablum guitar tutorials.
I'm still in the process of uploading and currently have 14 videos from the Blink 182 guitar course done by Fastfingerfreddy available with the breakdown of the tutorial in the description box.

Hoping someone remembers this footage. Long Shot
Major long shot here… but in 2007-08’ Tom DeLonge had a website called ‘modlife’ with a premium content subscription. One day out of no where he posted a video of Astronauts exploring a base on the moon. It looked pretty legit. Is there any chance any one here was an absolute loser like me and paid for Tom’s website that remembers this? And any chance someone has the video?
Soooo I have seen a hole (hehe hole) for those of us who are looking to pull the whole Boomer look together. I have made a very limited run for now! (With slight variation) That you cant find anywhere!

Have you ever wanted to dress up as Blink-182 from their "First Date" music video with your friends but just can't find the right shirt? Based on Tom Delong's wardrobe as his alter ego "Boomer" in the "First Date" music video you can now pull the whole look together.
