Adam was my best friend. My skate buddy. My guitar buddy my get in trouble buddy and skip school and smoke weed buddy. He was my dude. Adam sadly took his life when we was 17 in 2001-02. No this song isn’t about him but man it sure reminds me of him. Rip Adam, I really miss you buddy *EDIT* Thank you for all the likes and comments. It really means a lot to me. I appreciate it

The Guitar Sounds So Good

I like how they all have their own tempo🤣

Ah the good old days when blink played every song twice as fast live haha

I love how fast they used to play. Made their songs so different and unique plusbthey could squeeze so much into their set list.

The impeccable guitar tone.

0:45 this sound.... goosebumps.

3:14 THIS PICK SLIDE😍

awesome guitar sound

Marks voice is always consistent live 🔥

“16 just held such BETTER DAYS..” and it's now April 9, 2018.

Tom’s jazzmaster sounds awesome here. Love the flange during the verse.

That flanger sounds awesome

Omg is there ANYTHING better than 2004 blink, Tom looks sexy as hell and just right playing that riff with the long hair. Epic, these were the days.

props to whoever recorded and whatnot

Travis barker...the man on drums. But you have to say if you wrote a song like this and turned up to practise to show it to the band and your drummer started playing like that during the verse, you'd ask him if he was on drugs and tell him to pull his head in! Barker can pull it off though.

2:10 Tom stare at Travis and be like "Come on Travis, slower...."

Typically, I don't comment on KZfaq videos, but this is one I am willing to comment on. I want to give Mark Hoppus some absolute props. While I do not believe he is the best singer, I believe he is a very earnest and passionate musician. He put his all into this performance and one can just tell when a performer does or does not put his or her all into something. Great effort Mark Hoppus. I have seen you live twice and didn't disappoint either time. :)

Mark and Tom were trying really hard to keep up with Travis

My favorite song of all time

This song hits home so much

This version is insane

my all time favourite song, i just hope i get to hear this live one day.

Love Tom's sound on that guitar!

the best adam song live perform

never ever have seen this...... thanks so much for posting this

Listened to this on repeat when I was 16. I am 19 now, but time sure does fly. I was not in a good mental-state then. It isn't much better now. But to have dreams and ambitions that I want to accomplish; a reason to get up in the morning, really feels good. To my 16-year old self, it gets better. It takes time and effort, but you will find happiness. I know it.

Man this is one of their best Adams song performances I love it

...SONG OF THE DAY!!! BLINK 182 - ADAM'S SONG (1999) De entrada les explico que es una canción que grita y representa a todos los que han sufrido acoso psicológico o bullying y es una carta abierta para volver a tener fe en que las cosas mejorarán. Adam Krieger era un chico de 16 años con serios problemas psicológicos y múltiples intentos de suicidio, después de padecer de acoso escolar y sentirse sin redes de apoyo, se quita la vida, parte de su carta de despedida se difundió en internet y de esta manera llega por medio de e-mail a Blink-182. Los miembros de la banda se sintieron conmovidos por los sentimientos del estudiante, pero a la vez se sintieron perplejos pues podían sentirse identificados con las palabras y sentimientos del suicida, y en gran medida con aquel sentimiento de soledad a pesar de estar rodeados de fanáticos…Mark Hoppus compone una canción que mezclaba los sentimientos de Adam con sus propios sentimientos, es una canción oscura, sin embargo anti-suicida cuyo mensaje es que EXISTEN MUCHAS COSAS POR LAS CUALES VALE LA PENA VIVIR EN ESTA HERMOSA VIDA.🤘🏿ULTRAMEGAROLOTA🤘🏿

just love this...it prevails as you get older!

That guitar is straight up The Cure

I watch your videos all the time, i didnt even bother to look at who posted this video. Ive watched it so many times, thank you

It's 2019 and i'm listening

Knowing that there was tension between Mark and Tom at this time makes me feel so incredibly broken inside to say the least. It's such a shame that the whole Box Car Racer shit was all just miscommunication (from what I've read). Gosh it just makes me so mad that such a little thing Tom wanted to do turned into something huge. How do you just go on and not forgive each other. Geez. And now Tom is gone. Hopefully not for good. I hope they still talk at least. I want him back so bad. And I miss his voice and I miss songs like Dysentery Gary, Shut Up, Always, Feeling This, Degenerate, and literally so much more. California is good but it's not my favorite. I hate being so broken up by this honestly. And it hurts even more that I wasn't around back then to see them at their "prime." Fuck.

lol Tom face was like wtf when someone throw a blue ball at him

3:20 travis barker is Absolutely A Beast , Amazing

The only time toms E string has been correctly tuned to D. This honestly is a great live show

Love to comeback to this video once in a while.

Mark and Tom were so lucky to have such an amazing drummer. Travis Barker is a KILLER drummer.

this is wild bc the tone of this performance sounds closer to when blink eventually reunited

Fue mi tema favorito de la banda hace más de 10 años.. pensé q no me iba a generar nada escucharla ahora pero esta versión en vivo es tremenda!!!

for me this is the best version of adam song, has a lot of power but it still has its own energy and the guitar sounds so fucking hard i love it

love the drop c# tuning and tom playing the open c# chord during the chorus!

after hundred of blink video on youtube this is the first time i watch this performance

Travis was playing fast because he was pissed at Shanna at the time. He was also mad at Tom and Mark for always arguing about stupid things.

never thought I'd die alone I laughed the loudest who'd have known? I trace the cord back to the wall No wonder it was never plugged in at all I took my time, I hurried up The choice was mine I didn't think enough I'm too depressed to go on You'll be sorry when I'm gone I never conquered, rarely came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never thought I'd die alone Another six months I'll be unknown Give all my things to all my friends You'll never step foot in my room again You'll close it off, board it up Remember the time that I spilled the cup Of apple juice in the hall Please tell mom this is not her fault I never conquered, when you came Sixteen just held such better days Days when I still felt alive We couldn't wait to get outside The world was wide, too late to try The tour was over, we'd survived I couldn't wait till I got home To pass the time in my room alone I never conquered, when you came Tomorrow holds such better days Days when I can still feel alive When I can't wait to get outside The world is wide, the time goes by The tour is over, I've survived I can't wait till I get home To pass the time in my room alone

El mejor live que he escuchado hasta ahorita de blink.

Take me back to this time please!!! 😢😢

THANK YOU BRO!!!

0:40 that was amazing

This song makes me sad. I love it, but it makes me sad.

Tom de long really feeling it at 0:57

Okay, so nobody is talking about how Travis is playing this song with his left foot on the kick-drum? Damn.

This is my absolute favorite version of this song

Porra Toopzera master caraiooooo Blink foREVer MELHOR ÉPOCA 2004

Best blink 182 period ever !

I enjoyed watching this precovid concert

I hope that everyone here is okay. Please be safe and remember that people care about you, even if it may not feel like it sometimes. If you are feeling troubled, maybe professional help is the answer, or talking to a trusted friend about what you are going through. Wish you all the best.

Blink 182: Like Green Day: Comment

still my favorite blink song :)

Absolutely love it

If examined further, this song is actually an anti-suicide song. "This song is about me being lonely on tour before finding the woman I love. It's also about depression, but as bad as things get, there's got to be something better on the other side. There's always hope, and you can count on your best friend who is always there for you and so on." -Mark Hoppus-

They are at their best when they play faster than the studio versions of songs.

0:57 ♥

Blink-182...Memories

Perfect ! 2019

still hear this song...2017

Very good live version!

I keep coming back to watch tom get hit by that ball

The sounds tom used to get of the guitar were exceptional.

Travis one of the best drummers of all time

this is truly sick wOW

The best live era.

i love blink

I love that pick slide😊

2017 se escucha con todo!

Used to watch this when I was teaching myself guitar in 2014

This is by the far the best OCDP kit Travis has ever had

I miss this blink, the new album sinks!

I think tomorrow night I’ll get really drunk and then watch this video 5-10 times while crying.

The best show on earth

Thank god they had a producer in the studio

This looks like the same night of the Pepsi Smash in 2004. Same set, and both Tom and Mark are wearing the same shirts in the "I miss you" video.

Barker is a savage on drums. Didn't realize how good he is.

gracias blink 182

Mark sounds awesome here

man it's crazy mark sings this...i didn't know he could sing this high.

Great song

The best band.

I'm Japanese very love blink182

band favorit waktu masih sekolah 😁😁

Superb....................`

Legend ❤️❤️

Best Punk Rocker ever👍

Delonge with FENDER ❤️🔥🤘🏼

Tom turned into Boomer for a split second at 0:08 lmao

Travis Barker being 99 on rolling stone is literally one of the biggest jokes ever.

I can't remember where I read it but apparently this song is a bit autobiographical about Mark when on tour. It was initially called "Allan's Song" but it was too obvious to be about Mark so they changed it to Adam's Song, or so I read. I wish I could find the article
