Like seriously, considering how long he's been a musician, I'm baffled by half the dumb shit he said here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're great! But they're great because they're unconventional and lack conventional music training. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNow Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 I’m kind of sick of Tom talking about marks cancer. He talks about it more than Mark does and it’s his fight. And he’s saying things that seemingly aren’t known yet, like the cancer is being eradicated from his body. A few months ago it doesn’t seem like Tom and Mark were still friends and now it’s a talking point for him every interview promoting his new album. Idk it’s starting to rub me the wrong way. You don’t see marks other friends doing this or even Travis. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotNow Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 So we’ve heard clips of every song now. A fire in a nameless town and no more guns (discount American idiot Green Day) sound terrible so the only song left I haven’t heard I’m interested in is automatic. This will be my least favorite ava album, maybe it could be better than love 2. I like rebel girl, kiss and tell, timebomb, losing my mind, and automatic. The other five songs seems like Im going to be able to never care about hearing them again. And rebel girl and kiss and tell I still don’t even associate with the album so I feel like I only got three songs this year I actually like.

hotpantsdelonge Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 i don't think tom would stoop as low as using mark's cancer to promote the album. he repeats a lot of the things he says in every interview these days. he probably also knows that everyone is always happy to hear when mark is doing well or whether the two of them have talked recently. i don't know. just trying to give him the benefit of the doubt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about social cues and reading the situation on what is appropriate to discuss. Other people aren’t talking about his cancer for him, including Travis who actually is still close and in a band with Mark. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fucking moron at times. https://www.guitarworld.com/amp/features/angels-and-airwaves-lifeforms What’s so moronic about what he said about the gear?

kibbles Posted September 12, 2021 Report Share Posted September 12, 2021 Most people don't read or come across every interview he does. People ask him about it he responds ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For real. I hate when people play this card. Like no shit I don’t know them. These are inferences I’m making. But it’s more logical that Mark didn’t ask Tom to post a screenshot of their conversation about something Mark hasn’t been open about. If Mark thought it was a cool exchange to share, he would have posted it himself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
