Donald Trump's Bulge 8557 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think as long as Tom's connection with the group remains unclear, it is something to concern ourselves with. If Tom is as he put it "still in the band" this could have serious implications down the road for the future of Blink.. Its the unknown factor right now. I am not lawyer but I could see a situation where Tom could still hold the current lineups feet to the fire. I wish Mark or Travis would come out and clarify. I'd feel much better with moving on if they said he no longer has any control over the band. To say that Tom will just be happy and move on is a bit shortsighted given his obvious mental instability. But I vote in favor of this being the Tom Delonge catchall thread. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghent 18959 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 meh, worst case scenario is they have to relabel the band as "blink-182 w/ Matt Skiba," in which case everyone will still call them blink and know they are blink. Tom has no leverage really. I just hope he's not getting paid to sit around his house being a fucking drain on humanity while these guys actually work. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dylan_ 2306 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I wouldn't be surprised if Tom is making money from this new album. All comes down to what the lawyers are trying to settle on. How is he being a drain on humanity? He is experimenting and doing something he loves. I bet a lot of us wish we could do that and call it a job. I'm not a Tom fan at all but a lot of people have so much hate for the guy its crazy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Champ182 4407 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I don't know how this all works. It seems insane that he would have any leverage or ownership of a band he was kicked out of. Don't people get booted from bands all the time? What usually happens? Did Blink have some sort of special ownership deal that other bands don't have? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He has to drain resources away from more talented people to be able to do what he loves. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If they really would have to rename themselves to get out of this... is there anything wrong with legally changing their name back to just "Blink" again? Or will that damn Irish pop band come back... 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig182 164 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I honestly think Tom will feel vindicated by hearing this song. That's how delusional the guy is, he will hear it and think it doesn't have shit on his "vast musical landscapes" and "super important things" he's doing, despite the fact I'd guess/hope California will outsell both Poet Anderson and Chasing Shadows combined. Blink is so much better off without him. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Watcher on the Wall 1368 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I think he'll hear the "oh ohs" and get a boner 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

wannabe corn dog 3303 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 the only +44 song he listened to was "No It Isn't." he really is so egotistic that i can see him never checking out anything off of this album. i remember Mark said he bought WDNTW when it came out, listened to it in his car, and was super disappointed lol 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cpen5311 271 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 I mean he didn't even listen to Neighborhoods and he was on that album! Why would he listen to this one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Freestyleskater182 274 Posted April 28, 2016 Report Share Posted April 28, 2016 Wasn't it that he didnt listen to the masters? Im sure he listened to all of the songs. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I'm 100% sure that Mark listened to WDNTW and while was disappointed, didn't hate it and just said he did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
