Really gunning for head Tombot lately ain’t ya?

proud tombot since day one. only dude from blink that still knows how to write a catchy tune.

nobodie's forced to listen to his music nor to play in his band. i don't get the outrage. david could quit anytime if it was so horrible

Yeah David actaully seems pretty content with the AVA situation. He likes what he does now and doesn't want music to be his whole focus anymore. Sounds like a good deal to me.

Also, he said AVA has a tour planned for this fall! Obviously we can't know for sure yet if that will happen, but I hope it does!

lol what podcast did you guys listen to? nothing we didn't know already. also david sounds very happy with his role in ava.

some of you guys are just so desperate to find dirt on tom, it's pathetic. It's been no secret that tom needs to have 100% control, and that only he and ilan are recording 90% of the time (i think matt recorded some bass this time around).....

big deal.

david gets to play sold out club tours once in a while without beeing particularly talented nor bringing anything to the table. no wonder he's happy. also his coffe business profits a lot of the fanbase.  tom could literally hire anybody else to play a power chord here and there.

 

 

Yeah, it seems like people are trying to find a needle in a haystack. All in all, David is pretty hard to listen to in these type of situations imo.

Matt definitely did record bass on the album, there's been multiple pictures of that along the way

If he wasn't happy with his situation he wouldn't go throwing that cheerleader analogy around every chance he gets.

The fact that he did an interview for toms documentary and he found it difficult to find anything good to look back on, that it all was basically a chore and a job...

He felt embarrassed for bringing his mate in for auditions..

The awkward cheerleader line, that didnt sound like he was happy being in that role at all! He had just accepted it.

How he described tom just ghosting him in 2013 " they didnt speak to me and i didnt speak to them"

I listened to the podcast. Tom seems to be incredibly difficult to work with. We know that since 2005...

Just based on what other people have said(I still haven’t listened) It doesn’t really seem like anyone is saying this is new information though. Just that it’s interesting to hear and kinda further reaffirms the notion that Tom is a kind of a huge cunt to any of his friends or band mates.

I think you’re all trying to spin it negatively. David didn’t seem upset about any of it. He’s just kind of awkward with his words and always has been. That’s how he was on Modlife, that’s how he was when I met him. That’s how he was on the Start the Machine documentary and on the commentary. He said at the start this is only the second podcast he’s ever done. He’s not comfortable doing interviews and stuff because I think he struggles to get the right words out. Even before the band talk started he was still being awkward like that just talking about his life. That’s just how he is. On paper those bullet points look bad but actually listening to him he seemed pretty happy about all of it and he’s excited for the potential fall tour.

He’s just introverted and uncomfortable and awkward talking with people. He opened up about that back on Modlife live streams way back in the day.

My favorite awkward David quote is “fucking The Gift, man, I like, love playing that song.” from Start the Machine lol

So yeah, like , we dont talk you know? Its one of those kinda things.

I have like, um, a lot of coffee beans, cause thats what keeps the light on, like, you know,  career wise.

So it's good to get the call every 39 months to play a chord while, like, wearing matching outfits and gear to , like , tom. Pretty sweet deal.

 

 

This dude is either a brilliant stoner or needs to be told to look left and right instead of up and down before crossing the street. 

Pretty accurate take lol

I find him dating Chris Cote's ex pretty cringe...

I mean, I guess. Like, does life not...go on, at a certain point? It’s been 3.5 years. And incidentally, Chris is engaged too. He’s clearly happier than ever. Like, happier than Tom possibly, lol. I don’t mean to sound like “it’s okay to steal your friend’s wife, because everything will be fine” because it’s not, it’s weak, but at the same time the reality is that he did not ruin Chris’s life.
