The Tom Delonge Thread

Let's just accept that Tom is a bit of an idiot he thought the grass was greener on the other side and Mark has lost his mojo and bar the very rare exception cant write good music anymore so he just tries to churn out music that he thinks sounds like Blinks glory days.

They are both to blame for the demise of blink and the shitshow of a band they are today.

Hey, biggest Self Titled fan here... while that album is indeed genius (not just Tom, but everyone and largely Finn), Enema was just as different from Dude Ranch as that was Toypaj.. Blink had developed a bit of a sound, exploded popularity wise, and another 2 albums of similar would not have hurt at all, and Self Titled or a unique style could have still happened.  Mark might have resisted change/progression more out of the two, but that doesn't mean -> freak the fuck out start a new band, try to bring the drummer with, start developing a God complex, all because you think the grass is greener than one of the most successful and popular bands alive.. I HIGHLY doubt Mark was going to run away and sabotage the band somehow if Tom had kept pushing for more progressive takes.

After the success of Box Car and Self Titled, I can see how that can go to your head a bit, but the biggest disappointment is Tom never bounced back. Most people would bounce back and be like, shit okay I do need others too. He just kept and keeps doubling, trippling down that his mind is genius and that the people are begging for more indulgence.
