Blink-182 recently invited a 13-year-old fan on stage during a concert to present him with a once-in-a-lifetime gift, and to let him deliver a message to the crowd. The lucky fan by the name of Hudson called out from the audience saying that he wanted co-founder Tom DeLonge's guitar. Bassist Mark Hoppus heard the boy ask for the guitar and encouraged Tom to give it to him.
"He wants one of your guitars Tom. Give him one of your guitars."
Tom went over to the section of the crowd where the boy was standing to have a conversation with him about the possibility of receiving a guitar. The band invited Hudson on stage and handed him one of Tom's guitars to take home. Hudson greeted the crowd with an energetic, "what's up," and gave Tom "knuckles." Tom joked with Hudson about learning the guitar too well.

"Now I want you to play that s***, but don't you get f****** better than me because it makes me look super bad." After complimenting Hudson's pierced ears and cool shoes, Tom gave the teenager a change to share a message with the audience, to which Hudson replied, "F*** you," (in true blink-182 concert fashion,) and the crowd went wild.
Hudson was praised for his message, and exited the stage with his new, legendary guitar.
