  1. You mean you didn't buy his latest children's book "Dude Where Are My Clothes?"

  2. I just don't think AVA could play shows in anything beyond a club. His only chance is hyping up a few 'exclusive one chance only' shows in southern california. Any US tour he would have to settle for 1,000-2,000 seat clubs or be an opening act for someone on a bigger tour. Aint happening.

  4. Feldmann is the producer, they're usually always paid up front and by the labels. They don't generally get a cut of anything else, so you're not wrong.

  5. Merch is super cheap to make and a big seller so the profit margin is giant. Glorified tshirt salesmen seems about right.

  6. Usually its like 10 cents per CD, which for Enema, they probably did decent. Because it was pre getting that stuff for free. But today, with the downloading, bands don't make shit off music. Its all in the touring, the merchandise, the book deals, the companies, extra media. So Tom has the right idea with that, its just that no one wants his products.

  7. celebnetworth is garbage. The only clue anyone has about their finances can be seen in Tom's SEC filing which shows an elaborate spider web of weirdly named trust funds that owe each other money.

  8. I think seeing Tom in a small ass empty venue would be refreshing from all the stadium tours I've seen blink. The best performance I ever saw Mark and Travis give was that first +44 tour at some small Detroit venue the night before Thanksgiving in 2006. Rad times.

  9. Definitely should have scrapped AVA after Atom left. If he came up with a new band name with new members it would get him some interest again.....but he would actually have to work then. play shows, record music, pay band mates, etc. So that won't happen

  10. Yeah it's different than being humble and self-deprecating like "wow I can't believe what we accomplished with simple melodies and lyrics." Instead it's like he's ashamed and trying to be pretentious to hide it. "Oh Blink? Ha, only dumb little kids liked that band, that's why I had to move on to Important Music, it's embarrassing to play Blink songs because they're all the same and we were just babies singing nursery rhymes with poop in our diapers, what a laugh that little project was"

  11. If I were Tom I'd just scrap AVA and start a new project all together. Fuck it.

  12. Really the more I think about it, if they toured they would have to settle for more like 800 capacity venues. At their height with The Adventure on the radio and releasing a second album I saw them in a 2,000 and a 3,000 capacity venue. No way they could get that kind of interest anymore without a popular song out.

  13. That'd be fine if he seemed genuine, and not like he's trying to down play blink as this cute little side project of his, again.

  14. Venom was awesomely bad. Most fun I've had in awhile watching a movie. It could have come out in 2006 lol.

  15. I sightly disagree with this though. Blink was definitely innovative for Pop Punk, nothing else sounded like them before or since once they linked up with Finn. Tom isn't Elon Musk like he thinks, but his song writing is pretty damn unique, at least imo

  16. I could see him playing a few "exclusive" shows where you have to buy a bundle of merch or purchase a meet and greet with the ticket or something lame. No way he goes on tour or does anything genuine imo. Will be whatever is the least amount of work and highest cash potential.

  17. I just rewatched some of that Pursuit of Tone doc, how cringey is the 'nursery rhymes' revisionist shit he keeps spewing. Like yeah that's exactly what you guys were going for... I call bullshit

  19. yeah I basically feel the same way, nothing about Max's lyrics has ever suggested to me that he's some sort of predator or pervert or anything of the sort.
