He doesnt even like punk/rock music anymore. Since 2006 or so his main focus has been hip hop/rap. Its also really sad how everyone sucks travis's dick. band members praise him as being the best drummer in the world (lmao), fans always suck his wee wee.. its very cringy. At this point travis does it for the money. Tom stopped giving a shit about blink right before the first break up. He said he wanted to break up to spend more time with his family...because he doesnt have time for a band.. then what does he do? he ummediately starts his own band lmfao. it was about control. at this point the only one who really cares about blink anymore is mark..he always has.. and it it because its all hes got. hes so desperate that he does stupid ass shit with lil wayne.. I don't really agree with the Travis thing. Yes, he has his hip hop stuff; but never once has it interfered with Blink. Travis shows up for Blink, does amazing things on drums, just like he has always done. I've never seen him be lazy, uncommitted, or distracted. Not once. Outside of his inability to get on a plane; but that is more him just being fucked in the head than it is about Blink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, his music taste changed but so did Tom's music taste when he was still committed to blink in the 02-04 era. Blink progressed from being this pop punk band. Songs like Feeling This and the Fallen Interlude all have hip hop elements in it regarding drum beats too. It makes blink stand out. The guy just loves drums and will pretty much play for anyone if they asked. And unlike Tom, Travis has always been able to bring his kids with him, so he has never felt the need to take a break from blink for family reasons either. 3 hours ago, NostalgicMemories said: Tom stopped giving a shit about blink right before the first break up.

Tom definitely gave a shit about blink. Yeah, he wanted control but Mark & Travis would've kept him grounded had he remained. It was more to do with his family. Sure, he started up AVA straight away. But the whole of the first AVA album was recorded at his own house. So he was with his family. He told Mark & Travis himself he didn't wanna tour for a bit and when they suggested a new blink album, he told them he's only up for it if they do it at his house. He just didn't wanna be away from his family. From 2005-2006, he was pretty much stuck in his own house. He was still a twat about the whole thing though since blink wasn't just his band. Definitely not fair on Mark & Travis to go to Tom's house to record. Dude just didn't wanna be away from his family at all, but he was still interested in recording new music with blink.

zzzz Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Why even film a video for Rebel Girl at this point? Feels like eons ago. Also, TTSA had some new "investor" report come out, Italia did a good summary (I'd like to read the whole thing if anyone finds it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I bet Oliver could replace Tom Delonge as CEO of TTS and do a better job. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldManFan(of blink) Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I’m stunned anyone would invest in TTS. You’re basically putting your money in a shredder. At least hit a casino and try the slots. You have a bigger chance of winning there than ever getting a return on the TTS “investment”. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghent Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 I still think there's a chance a class action lawsuit eventually hits Tom over this. It doesn't seem legal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
