you guys think matt gives a shit about any of this? he's making so much money. i guarantee he doesn't give a fuck. alkaline trio is his baby. blink is his rich sugar daddy.

i think youre on to something with this. matt just seems like hes there to be there. just sits back and watches the drama unfold while collecting those blink $$'s.

Im gonna be real honest with you, in the last 15 years, Travis hasnt really gave a shit about blink. 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.

Travis definitely gives a shit about blink IMO. His commitment proves it alone. 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.

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.

It's super weird. Would make more sense if it were the new single

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)

 

Wow, that's scary lol interesting that he's donated loads of his own money and despite technically being owed 100,000 a year from TTS he hasn't actually had any of it back and is owed like 300,000 outside of it. in a weird way I actually feel better knowing Toms putting his own cash forward and not just trying to pump people for money. 

if they're relying on the AVA tour and album release to make TTS profitable though, then they haven't got a hope in hell.

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”. 

Seriously, I'd hope those people just think of it as a donation I guess.
