my man!!!, seriously Blink 182 is one of the most influential band out there. Not just their music but thier whole carefree personality just about speaks to anyone...

[@juneauz]

What can I say... I’m glad you’re doing vocals now man! You have an amazing voice

[@CharlieViking95]

I would kill to see a video of Sam playing drums at some point.

[@Alex-Walker]

He plays drums for a song on their world tour on the 100 days dvd.

[@Tbass17]

I remember seeing Sam play his first ever show as a drummer.
It was in my school drama studio and his band was called ‘Stories for 9 Year Olds’.

[@aurahrnndz]

I remember Sam screaming at everybody in the Mexico's gig "You're amazing" (what a beautiful moment). I think he's amazing too

[@malcolmk2878]

I was 10 when I first listened to Enema of the State. And the nostalgia Sam talks about listening to it today is something I can empathize with only too well.

[@NintyGuy999]

Blink, my favourite band of all time and architects, one of the best bands around at the moment who I recently got into a few months ago, this video makes me happy 😊

[@danielmorgan104dm]

Wow what a story. Blink, MY favorite band of all time and then Architects, My favorite band at the moment. Nice to see a link between the two

Sam is describing my youth word for word. I'm still living on the island of Bornholm. I remember Skateboarding and listening to the pop punk / hardcore jams at the time. 12 years old, and through the teen years. I loved it. (Still listening) ;)

[@jaimericardodiazposada8931]

The band puts me on edge every time listen them. I am a Christian but in my sad moments I turn to it just cope with reality. "Like a bird in a cage trying to fly away, is this the price that we have to pay" (Architects - Royal beggars ) greetings from the mountains of Colombia in South America
