"I think I did some vocals" classic Matt

[@Intentspunk19]

Tbf Dan has been awesome lately. Look at this new acoustic stuff. He's the underrated singer in Alkaline.

[@rhysjohnson9115]

My favourite band of all time! So great to finally see them live at slam dunk north! :))

[@atrio1136]

First time for me will be in March next year in Birmingham when they tour with Taking Back Sunday!

[@rhysjohnson9115]

@@atrio1136 Yes! Can't wait for that tour either!

[@TheDirtyKenzo]

"Where back with Alkaline Trio"
"Its 2 of em" 😂😂😂

[@yesiyoongster1175]

Mr. Skiba....classic rock star 😂🤗💓

[@DaveRichardsonFitness]

Coool to hear Matt and Blink have more stuff coming

[@TheIceyeddy]

oh god no, Matt and Blink do not mix. Blink should have stopped when Tom left, now they're a train wreck.

[@andredmtr]

This comment did not age well.

[@elftower907]

UK fucking loves AT

[@paulleigh5351]

Derek is the best there is. So glad he’s back.

[@jadedecay9592]

Im so fuckin sad the holloween show got canceled.... I bought the tickets the MORNING they dropped... And the venue got shut tf down... Im so pisssed

[@shaneking3600]

Alkaline trio is a much better band than blink 182 success wise blink win but alkalines back catalogue is way deeper than blinks. I think Matt is a great addition to blink but he'll be alkaline trio first always

[@Snuxsher]

Can someone tell me did Derek play drum on their live concert?

[@IlseLikesMusic]

I wasn’t there, but he travelled with Dan to the UK so as far as I can tell: he did!🖤

[@mitowp]

Yes, he did

[@colbylikethecheez]

He says so less than a minute into the video

[@C1osetWeather]

did on the saturday when i saw them

[@marcoreactionary]

🖤

[@elftower907]

dudes vibe completely changed when started talking about blink. opposite of Tom.

[@ChrisEck13]

Because he's there with Alkaline Trio and it's an interview with Dan there as well. It's kind of disrespectful to spend time talking about blink when you're there with another band, especially since blink gets 10x the media coverage of Alk3.

[@andresambu931]

in positive way or the negative one?

[@huntercrunch94]

I think you might be projecting there a bit. He just talked how he always does. Didn't sound off to me.

[@Mr.Baljeet]

5:36 is when they start to talk about blink-182

[@rolemodel04]

Matt is so out of it 😂

[@notherenotanywhere5987]

Lmao

[@iaminsideyourhome69]

as usual

[@idontcare2851]

Smoking the brains from my head

[@VictorLugosi]

Compared to which time when he wasn’t? 🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@gothikaspawn]

@@VictorLugosi that is very true.

[@TheDirtyKenzo]

So....confirmation Tom's comin back to Blink?.... Maybe?...

[@iaminsideyourhome69]

ew

[@huntercrunch94]

Did you watch the video? No. You can always listen to the new Angels album if you want to hear him, though. That's what Tom actually wants to do.

[@madmax5285]

Matt is no longer in blink182?

[@cashlayton1313]

He is still in blink

[@richt87]

@@cashlayton1313 For now lol

What is with that stupid scarf Matt has on?🤦‍♂️
