boxelder Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/tom-delonge-set-direct-sci-fi-feature-strange-times-971175 Quote “I grew up in Southern California as a disaffected young skateboarder who broke the occasional law or five, and I was always dreaming about the world around me, obsessively looking for the more unusual and imaginative experiences that life has to offer," said DeLonge. He added: "That’s the inspiration behind Strange Times, which is about the tribe of broken youth and the restless spirit that inspired me to form Blink-182 and seek out adventure." those dumbass social media posts make more and more sense. he peppers things with "blink-182" to drum up interest. breaking up with blink might be the best thing that ever happened to to the stars lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petros Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I was starting to think maybe Tom has stopped with the nonsense now he realized he was being immature and just wanna focus on doing his own thing and let his work speak for itself without namedropping blink all the time for everything he does. Quote That’s the inspiration behind Strange Times, which is about the tribe of broken youth and the restless spirit that inspired me to form Blink-182 and seek out adventure Well alright then.

_Kyle_ Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Quote Delonge's band, Angels & Ariwaves, will provide original music for the film's score. I kind of wish this was the name of the band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Eight Two Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I don't see that Strange Time movie happening, and if it does, it'll be out in 4-5 years and probably be a short film, if that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blink became a lot more than Tom, but it isn't inaccurate to say that Tom did start the band with Scott. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a band to start, you need at least 2 members in my opinion. Tom just thought that Mark and him could make music together, but Mark had to be on board too, if Mark says no, they don't start blink, instead Tom finds someone else and they start a different band.

Cheerios4u98 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 In Tales From Beneath Your Mom it says that Tom started the band with Scott, and Mark came in later, then quit because of his girlfriend, then rejoined. At least, I think it does, I haven't read it in a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_Kyle_ Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 I'm pretty sure it was Tom and Scott. Before Scott it was just Tom in Big Oily Men. Anyway, Tom and Scott started "Blink". Blink 182 however is Mark, Tom, and Scott. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone who knows more than Mike and I do, please help! the truth is tom wanted a band, met scott, and they began playing together. then later that summer they met mark. mark quit at some point before may '93 because of his girlfriend, and i think there's some evidence of other bassists being around. but he came back to do flyswatter, and then they started playing shows. in '94, scott left the band when he moved away to reno, and they tried other drummers. there's at least one person (davey quinn, back on the alt.punk newsgroup in the '90s) that said they broke up after scott left, but reformed later. scott wound up coming back after the record deal with cargo, and the rest is history. after scott got kicked out, the narrative became that tom and mark -- inseparable best friends to the end -- founded the band and then scott came along. it's like that in tales beneath your mom (snippet posted below). that book is great, better than it has any right to be, but it does feel dishonest in that early section, just a tad. though i suppose tom and scott could've played together, parted ways, tom met mark, and then tom called on scott. but who knows. all i know is that for a long time it was tom and scott started the band, then it suspiciously became tom and mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M!ke Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Is that first quote from Tales From Beneath Your Mom, because that's the history I've always had in my head. I don't doubt that what is written there probably has been changed from the true origin though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Whoa yeah are both of those quotes from Tales? Because they contradict each other. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Boxelder nailed it. The txt of tales from beneath your mom rewrites history, but they include a quote from Scott in the book that contradicts the txt (kind of funny). Then Scott gave an interview that him and Tom started it and that they rewrote history. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted February 3, 2017 Report Share Posted February 3, 2017 Makes sense to me I think? 1. Tom and Scott met and started playing Descendents/metal stuff that didn't mesh well 2. Mark and Tom met and started writing songs together and needed a drummer 3. The two "projects" became one 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
