To bring it back on topic.

Tom is an alpha male. Mark is a beta male. Clearly you can see the differences. I am not saying Tom is right and Mark is wrong. But who writes their own music? Who hides behind John Feldmann? Who says whatever the fuck he wants and doesn't care what people think? Who is scared to change nostalgia setlists for fear that no one will like the music that someone wrote for them?

Your obsession with this alpha/beta male thing just shows how truly beta you are.

What if Tom just made new songs but Matt preformed them?  I could honestly see this happening knowing blink.

Yeah but writing/recording is the part Tom never wanted to do. He was always down to tour because he got paid.

Most people have flaws. But in this case he has flaws and no talent in Blink. He is a glorified Dave Kennedy or worse, that new bass player in AVA that none of the AVAbots want to stand by in the photo op.

Yeah, he showed up on the new album, but its starting to feel more like "Hey Matt, here is this part we wrote for you, sing it and we will do our autotuned/production magic"

no joke, matt rubano is probably the most talented musician out of anyone who has been in blink or ava...he is legit.

anyone who talks and cares about whether someone is an alpha or beta is 100% a zeta IRL.

Alpha males (an amended definition from wikipedia alpha testing) - 

"Alpha males are men that are not thoroughly tested by common sense before released to the world. Alpha males usually contains serious errors; therefore they can be unstable and could cause unintended hilarity or girlfriend loss. Alpha men may not contain all of the features that are expected for the final relationship."

Btw gonna go out on a limb here and say Mark will collab with Tom on a Simple Creatures song eventually. Makes more sense artistically and will be an easier  "test" to see how a working relationship may go. (Also gains hype for SC, and pays Tom back for the Mark feature on BCR)

Would be cool. Tom really needs to find a new voice for future endeavors. Would probably help to get him on something poppy that he isn't in control over. Someone telling him what to sing and how to sing it would do him wonders.

Alphas hide behind their manager and change their phone numbers to avoid conflict? Pretty alpha of Mark to kick Tom out IMO...

This would actually be an interesting poll, what took more balls:

-Mark kicking Tom out
-Tom walking away

Nah, an alpha stays centered and avoids drama. After Mark started shit at rehearsal in 2005; Tom left the rehearsal because he didn't need to get petty. He had ever right to just have the manager end it. An alpha lives in a drama free zone. Didn't need to sink to Mark's beta level.

Wrong. What you run from haunts you. What you face disappears. Being aware of how you show up as a human is a alpha male quality. Not seeking self improvement and accepting things as they are is beta.
