Magnious Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 54 minutes ago, The Watcher on the Wall said: lol I found this on reddit (all credit to u/Magnius), What Tom really said in his post...I'm dying lol "We DO have a future together if we want it, but for now we are busy doing separate things. Speaking of the FUTURE I am directing a movie this summer, releasing a couple more albums of music and digging deeper into my Sekret Machines Project (FOR SALE NOW!!) with the US Department of Defense. You can find the release on my new website tothestars.com!!!!!! I know people are comparing the Angels and Airwaves Chasing Shadows EP (CURRENTLY ON I-TUNES!) to the new Blink-182 music, and that is a failed task. We are different people after different things. For one, I think having a song-writer that came in on the Blink album (Feldy- 5 Seconds of Summer, Good Charlotte....LAWL) was something they desired, and that in itself may be an indicator of some of our current artistic differences that are difficult to overcome. I've just always liked the song-writing I did as I am the CREATOR of Blink 182. But, at the end of the day, I support their desires......desires sounds like a good name for my next album....anyhow.... Earlier this year, I was recording the song NEW WORLD (on the DEMOS album titled after my own name AND SOON TO BE BUNDLED WITH MY FUNKO POP ACTION FIGURE!) and that was my first early opinion of where I could possibly take Blink for the next album and into the Galaxy!! At the end of the day, both of us have ideas, but mine were better... Now, we are at different places in our minds, careers and goals, I get it, just as you should get CHASING SHADOWS also available on Google Play! But that said, I obviously want them to make the music they wish, as long as I get royalties. I have always been thankful for them in my life because it made me a butt ton of money, but I am a forward thinking artist, and sometimes that leads me down a different and far-reaching path, all the way TO THE STARS! That is why I have done progressive projects like: Box Car Racer, Angels and Airwaves- "LOVE" Feature Film and it's albums 1 & 2, and even the "Dream Walker" Album, with the accompanying animations and Novel etc...and not Blink...they just weren't progressive..you know? FUCK SHIT FUCK...ahh..still have it! I look forward to my upcoming film and music adventures, and a hell of a lot more...that you can buy for a discounted price when bundled with music that I've only spent a couple days making! ....Maybe throw in a bit of Blink-182, if we can build back that "special something" that was once there, and as long as I don't have to do any more touring...or making music...unless the price is right." Thank you for the shout-out! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean it's the internet. We're over-criticizing someone for something he did but in real life he hasn't done anything to us so we'd either ignore him or be polite. I don't think anyone here has the right to actually be rude to the guys face he hasn't done anything to any blink fan or whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dylan Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I don't know how I feel about all of this. I kind of feel a bit nervous that Mark and Travis will allow this fucking lunatic to slowly weasel his way back into blink, and then fuck Skiba out of a job. It sort of feels like a threat. Do you guys honestly think Mark and Travis would let this manic back in? I fucking hope not... this skiba-182 hayday is a dream come true. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy030 Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Another thing about this post that pisses me off is at the end when he does the "MAYBE a little blink" AKA MAYBE if they ask me to tour so i can make money but not have to do an album for 5 months.....Like he still wouldn't fully commit the way Mark and Travis want him to. They want to be a REAL band and he just wants to tour and slur words. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysentarygary Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 I am wondering how the old tom (pre selftitled) would react on how he is now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chase Posted April 29, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 Without a doubt, reading this thread has been the most insane experience I've had on the boards (and I've lurked since like 2011). I went to bed last night with it just having 4 pages. After being away from my phone all morning, I logged back on about an hour ago on the subway to see *16 pages* and "Update: Meltdown in progress" Immediately, I thought to myself, "My God, Tom must have done something off-the-rails crazy." Probably another late-night Instagram session, maybe he recorded a video response, who knows? So I open up the thread and read the passive-aggressive update. Aside from the not-so-subtle shot at Feldmann, I didn't think the letter was anything out of the ordinary, at least for Tom. I thought, "there has to be more right??" Nope. Just 12 pages of absolute flamethrowing by both sides. Somehow Donald Trump himself came up, then European immigration policies, followed by a discussion of Asperger's. Meanwhile there's a group of Trio fans are straight-up begging Skiba to leave while he still can. To top it all off, I'm given this amazing mental image of Tom's wife whistling Bored to Death. I legitimately had to put my phone down while on the subway because I was in tears from laughing so hard. Y'all are nuts. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxelder Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 he's updated it again (i think). i've bolded the new stuff. lol he had to add the word "progressive" to prove they're better than blink Hi everybody- I understand all the craziness out there in Internet-land, it is an odd time for fans of the Blink-182 legacy, I know- It's odd for me, too. Well, I met with Mark yesterday, and Travis the week before.... I actually talk to Travis almost every day, now. In an odd way I'm almost closer to him more now than ever. The answer is this: We DO have a future together if we want it, but for now we are busy doing separate things. I am directing a movie this summer, releasing a couple more albums of music and digging deeper into my Sekret Machines Project with the US Department of Defense. I know people are comparing the Angels and Airwaves Chasing Shadows EP to the new Blink-182 music, and that is a failed task. We are different people after different things. For one, I think partnering with a song-writer on the Blink album (Feldy- 5 Seconds of Summer, Good Charlotte) was too far a change, but something they desired, and that in itself may be an indicator of some of our current artistic differences that are difficult to overcome. I guess I've always just liked the song-writing we did together. But, at the end of the day, I support their desires. And if they are happy, then that's what matters. Earlier this year, I was recording the song NEW WORLD (on the DEMOS album titled after my own name) and that was my first early opinion of where we could possibly take Blink for the next album. But again, that's just my idea, and I'm only one of three. At the end of the day, both of us have ideas, but from opposite sides of the road... Now, we are at different places in our minds, careers and goals, I get it. But that said, I obviously want them to make the music they wish. I have always been thankful for them in my life, but I am a forward thinking artist, and sometimes that leads me down a different and far-reaching path- That is why I have done progressive projects like: Box Car Racer, Angels and Airwaves- "LOVE" Feature Film and it's albums, and even the "Dream Walker" Album, with the accompanying animations and Novel etc...

Do you guys honestly think Mark and Travis would let this manic back in? I fucking hope not... this skiba-182 hayday is a dream come true. i highly doubt it to be perfeclty honest. Why would they? They've been through this before with him. Hell just that other interview Tom said "i don't talk to them really" that was three weeks ago when the interview was given. Is it possible he actually talked since? Sure but i highly doubt it. You know Mark and Travis will most likely have a response to this. I don't believe his whole "i've been talking to Travis every day line" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
013bam Posted April 29, 2016 Report Share Posted April 29, 2016 the "maybe" isn't what bothers me so much. It's the "a little blink". He hasn't even started yet and he sounds like he wants to quit 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
