From the Archives: Blink-182 on Howard Stern

So young! Young Travis kinda looks like Seth Green from Austin Powers.

 

Interesting. I wonder why Tom didn’t do the background vocals? And it never fails whenever I hear the song, the sodomy line is still so cringy.

 

22 years ago - yeesh!

 

So good. I love that Tom Delonge Strat!

 

Me too. I made the mistake of selling my surf green 10 years ago, when I was briefly homeless. A terrible moment in my life that I always regretted.

I managed to track down a mint graffiti yellow in 2020 which I'll never part with, no matter how tough things get.

 

Kind of lol. It's weird seeing him with so few visible tats and hair.

 

It's interesting - in a lot of the late night performance I've watched Blink do from this era, Tom won't sing unless it's his song. I'd guess it's the nerves of playing on live television.

 

Glad you were able to get another one and more importantly get over that bump in the road!

I always dreamed of having a seafoam green TD Strat, but ended up settling on a Graffiti yellow one also way back in 05. It's my favorite guitar I own and I wouldn't trade it for the world. I love that thing. I actually just bought a cheap surf green squire in a very similar configuration that I plan on upgrading to a duncan invader and better electronics etc to make it a backup to my TD strat.

 

My brother and I have managed to secure all 3 original color strats and p-basses over the years. Our Blink collection is worth more to me than any other belonging I own by a long shot. I will never part

 

That's great, very cool! I feel very similarly and won't part from mine either.
