"Dammit" received heavy radio airplay at many key radio stations, and became the band's first hit single. Liza Bermingham, the band's assistant manager at the time I got goosebumps, and Tom turned to look at me and mouthed 'What the fuck?' When Tom started the first notes to "Dammit," all 10,000 kids screamed and threw their hands in the air. On the Warped Tour in Australia Blink-182 walked out on stage and started playing to 10,000 people and this was when I realized they had made it. The song follows a common chord progression sequence of I–V–vi–IV. It is composed in the key of C major with Hoppus's vocals spanning the tonal nodes of C 4 to G 4. "Dammit" is set in the time signature of common time, with a fast tempo of 215 beats per minute. Guitarist/vocalist Matt Skiba would also take the lead on the chorus after replacing DeLonge in 2015. You know, smoking, yelling, all that." As a result of this incident, the chorus has always been sung by Tom DeLonge in live performances. "But it's not a technique I would recommend for getting a good vocal sound. It sounds really raw and cool," said Hoppus in 2001. "I actually like my voice a lot on 'Dammit'. These factors, combined with the stress of recording "Dammit", led Hoppus to strain his vocal cords significantly, forcing the band to cancel the final week of recording the album in December 1996. Hoppus was having vocal problems during the recording of the album regardless, due to lack of vocal warm-ups and constant smoking. The song was written just outside Hoppus' vocal range, requiring him to strain to sing it (the song has a noticeably rougher and scratchier vocal track than the rest of the album). The song was recorded between December 1996 and January 1997 at Big Fish Studios in Encinitas, California. Guitarist Tom DeLonge considered the song a breakthrough in the band's songwriting. Hoppus described a scenario, detailed in the lyrics, where former lovers meet in public and one is with someone new, "It really hurts when you aren't the person feeling the love, but you have to act like it's cool to save face." He felt the song's creation, which was spontaneous, worked to its favor: "If you work on a song for weeks and weeks, you're forcing it." The signature guitar line for "Dammit" was created on an acoustic guitar that was missing two strings. The song was composed by bassist Mark Hoppusīlink-182 bassist Mark Hoppus wrote the song in a short span of time concerning a fictional breakup with a girlfriend. "Dammit" was later featured on the band's Greatest Hits (with a drumroll added), and it has been covered by a number of artists. The song's music video was shot by directors Darren Doane and Ken Daurio, previous collaborators with the group, and depicts the trio attending a "sneak preview" at a cinema where Hoppus attempts to win his ex-girlfriend back. The song became the band's first hit single, reaching number 11 on Billboard 's Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart, and receiving heavy airplay on several key US stations. It was written about a fictional breakup and the difficulty of seeing a former partner with another.
Written by bassist Mark Hoppus, the song concerns maturity and growing older. It's no surprise, then, that 2019's NINE, with its electronic instrumentation and more downcast, introspective themes, still resonated with their diehard followers-blink-182’s energetic, superbly crafted tunes and deeply emotional lyrics know no age limit." Dammit" (sometimes subtitled " Growing Up") is a song by American rock band Blink-182, released on September 23, 1997, as the second single from the group's second studio album, Dude Ranch (1997). A massive lineup change-DeLonge left the band in 2015 and was replaced by Alkaline Trio singer/guitarist Matt Skiba-didn’t slow them down, even as they and their fans grew up. Their sound matured considerably into the '00s, becoming more indebted to moody, muscular alternative rock, thanks in no small part to the crack-shot drumming and arrangements of Travis Barker, who joined in 1998.
The trio's 1995 debut, Cheshire Cat, and 1997 commercial breakthrough Dude Ranch illustrate a fondness for breakneck-speed punk and sharply honed melodies, but blink-182 connected with bigger audiences in the later '90s because their rebellion offered both comic relief-see the nudity-heavy video for "What's My Age Again?," from 1999's Enema of the State-and seriousness, tackling the trauma of suicide ("Adam's Song") and divorce ("Stay Together for the Kids"). The San Diego band, which coalesced in the early '90s around co-frontmen Tom DeLonge and Mark Hoppus, blend upbeat tempos, catchy hooks, and bawdy humor with lyrics that understand the pain of adolescence-and life in general. Pop-punk godfathers blink-182 embody why the genre appeals to millions.
