Jane Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Woah. That was crazy. Surreal. Tom really sounds like he's on a trip/has finally completely lost his mind. Reading this made me feel so uncomfortable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott. Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Oh Tom what are you doing? He's proper losing the plot. It's clear to see he's upset over blink but he doesn't seem to be fighting for the band, he's kinda just let it go without really wanting too. He doesn't like Travis, it's obvious. Doesn't have a bad word to say about Mark. He's had plenty of opportunity too. Jealous of Mark and Travis friendship??How can he say ego got in the way, he has the biggest ego out of them ffs. The whole Ava bullshit, the hype he made, the shite he continues to say now, I'm glad the shows were good, I wrote the songs etc etc can he not see how egotistical that is? He's too far gone. I bet he was a nightmare to work with. Feel glad for Mark and Travis that they've escaped him tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jealous of Mark and Travis friendship?? Yeah, everything negative he says is about Travis. The only thing I remember him saying about Mark was "I will never dislike @markhoppus - too many years as my closest friend. I want him to be happy-" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I bet Tom wishes he was as successful and famous as Travis is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radioactive tomdog Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 its just so crazy that in the early 2000s, we all thought we had a good idea of who Tom was. but now, social media has allowed us to see who he actually has been all along. and he's been kind of a dickhead i personally could not stand to be around lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Really makes you wonder how much that is who he's always been and how much drugs made him become this weird freak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Ugh, I'm not supporting Tom at all right now, but it really makes me sad to see somebody I considered one of my heroes self-destruct so badly like this. This is painful to witness. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Yeah it totally is, I'm seriously shocked by the recent amount of madness we witness coming from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radioactive tomdog Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 he could have easily been like this all along. the difference is that he is actually talking and interacting with us now. we didn't have this kind of access before. i'm willing to bet he's always been a fucking tool. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asdf182 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 5 star reviews for the Dream Walker? Is theonion.com now making album reviews or something? LMAO! But seriously, this man has become insane and is in need of some psychiatric help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott. Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I don't think Tom was always like this. I honestly couldn't see Mark being that close to him if he was always like this, I mean they have stated loads of times that they were brothers and inseparable. It's a mixture of things that's lead him to where he is at now. Money and fame being one of them, being a conspiracy nut (even though I am one myself) isn't always good for you either, He's been in the music industry for so long he knows how it works and the fucked up fakery of it all. He's not the first musician to slightly lose the plot and he won't be the last. Mark and Travis have kept themselves humble and have never taken anything for granted, Tom on the other hand really thinks he's something huge, he's been surrounded by yes men for so long that he believes his own hype. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 This is painful to see. We are watching the demise of one of the biggest music idols on the 90s and early 2000s. It's really clear he has problems. I'm not brave enought to say he has mental problems, but is pretty obvious that he needs help in some way. He's not able to deal with the responsability of have been an asshole. Unless he apologizes to blink and the fans, like truly, I'm done with this guy. So long, goodbye, Tom.

Thomas D. Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I don't think he was always like this, I think it's pretty obvious he's doing some kind of drugs and they're slowly killing him. Wouldn't be surprised if he overdosed sooner or later. No wonder all the members left ava, who'd ever want to work with a junkie. Also, you were right Ghent.

redhotbrianpeppers Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I typed out a long thing, and then I fucked it up somehow and erased it. I guess the most important things I wanted to say were: 1) I came home very drunk and on drugs, and immediately identified that the honesty in Tom's words came from an inebriated state beyond that which I could even achieve off my limited remaining supply. 2) The title of the thread told me everything, but I thought reading Tom's meltdown would be funny. Instead it was really sad, and hard to get through. 3) The comments on this thread were hilarious, and awesomely served the goal of comedy to bring relief to tragedy. 4) It makes me really sad that Mark has been so happy the past few days, and now he will surely be brought down by the implosion of his closest friend. 5) This is the most honest we've heard Tom Delonge in a long time, and the words aren't shocking: they're sad. 6) Tom's still the same kid who got kicked out of high school because he couldn't fit in. None of us ever change, and our true character bursts through our facade during times of weakness or strength. 7) My brain hurts. I'm still really happy for blink and Mark and Matt and Travis, but I'm also really sad for everyone. I'm even too sad to make a joke (the whole: I'm sad for...I'm sad for ...shtick). It's weird that in a few hours, I will wake up hungover, and Tom will wake up hungover, and this whole thing will seem completely different to everyone. It's been a really weird night for me. Go blink and Musink! Wish ya tha best Tom.... Go Xavier! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyFriendLuke182 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 If it wasn't for travis' plane crash blink would have never gotten together in the first place and his AVA wreck would have failed a lot earlier...I wonder when he started to hate travis.

Zoltan Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 the 5-star ratings? by fucking bloggers?! lol, tom doesn't know the difference between selling 1 million records, or selling 10 thousand records. reviews doesn't matter, those are just part of the marketing. big labels have contracts with magazines, so all the label releases will be reviewed somewhere. independent artists aren't reviewed in well known magazines by default, they usually need to have a contract too which includes pre-premier access to the songs for early reviews, and additional content for the future issues (that's why you can read an ava review before the release day, then an ava interview in the next week, then a crazy story a week after, a show/tour review, etc...). it helps if your band members are known from other, bigger bands. offline and online magazines do it for advertisement revenues. so basically bands buy the reviews for themselves. good ava ratings doesn't threaten blink. batshit crazy tom delonge does. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
