The Tom Delonge Thread


Meltdown Tracker

Recommended Posts

All labels care about are the tours. They fund albums as marketing tools for the tours, not really something they’re worried about for making money since it’s next to impossible. It’s why tons of albums that were scheduled for release over the next couple months are receiving indefinite delays. They don’t know when they can get back to venues coupled with the fact everyone will try to tour at once.

For what it’s worth, I see the possibility of this turning into another double album so long as Tom keeps working on it. What he can do with to the stars is going to be limited the rest of the year so hopefully he just keeps writing music because there’s nothing else to do.

Yeah, this delay might actually be a good thing this time

What a terrible excuse, we've seen on his Instagram they're all hanging out at his studio, there's literally no better time to finish an album, you can't send COVID through file shares

It's the labels decision when the album gets released, not Toms

It's funny to picture Tom being ordered around by Rise (lol) Records.

Especially after he spent 10 years of his life trashing blink for being constrained by big record labels. Then he ends up getting bossed around by some tiny shit label. Classic

Hard to keep track of everyone's biases around Tom but none of this news is a surprise because A) it actually does make sense for the band and the label to agree that delaying the album is a good idea so that a tour can help promote the album like usual, I can only imagine why anyone thinks this is his label "bossing him around,"  and B ) Tom is slow as molasses anyway.

Also everyone should have known it would be delayed the SECOND Tom announced a movie was coming along with the album.  What movie? lol.

I bet Rise thought they were gonna make a shit ton of money with Tom's name attached.  The reality is just them getting roped into delays and exciting feature films that will rival Steven Spielberg!

He actually said that Aaron Rubin just had a child and he can't work on the album now so everything's on hold. He didn't mention the label. 

That doesn’t have anything to do with the album coming out in 2021 now. They’re on final tracking (at least for the original track listing before covid changed things, sounds like Tom is writing additional songs because the album can’t be released as is currently). Having a kid might delay the tracking a few weeks?

Also rise doesn’t care about some movie, they have no stake in that. If Tom doesn’t have the movie ready when rise says we’re ready with the album, Tom can’t do anything about that. He’ll have to fuck off

He's just ambitious guys.  Being a world famous musician isn't enough, it needs to also include a government mention, transcendent animated movie, and sex with all his friend's wives.

And also be adapted to a children's book.

And another set of fictional and non-fiction books just to confuse us.

That sucks lol. It’s most likely the label stopping but still we should have had an album 6 months ago if Tom has just gotten off his ass and recorded the cunt. It’s nice that Tom is committed to writing a few more songs for the album though.

The time between rebel girl being released and the album is going to be staggering. Should drop it from the album.

Tom's a legend, should be able to do what he wants with Rise. Don't buy it they have him held hostage, he's probably doing the usual, not finishing his projects

Angels & Airwaves is a pretty small band, why on earth would Rise put out an album if the band can’t tour it and not make them any money?
