High Value Man Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I don't think anyone here will argue that Tom isn't persistent, he is one of the most persistent people I've come across. When someone is that persistent at anything there will be accomplishments. The sad thing is; his focus is on complete and utter waste of time bullshit. Imagine if he put this energy into something normal. Like if he wasn't crazy, and his mind was right, and he actually focused on normal shit..............Tom might actually be as amazing as he claims to be; Blink might actually be one of the best bands on the planet right now. It really is a sad tale. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It really is a sad tale. even if it's not about blink, if he was sane, he would be able to run succesful projects. not boring sci-fi cartoons or comics, not semi-fiction books for a niche market, not an academy to invent teleportation and telepathy. he should host his own tv show, or do his own documentary series, about anything (ufos, music, conspiracies) or everything at once. he should do only one thing to make a fortune. it could be complex, but it would still be just one definable project. the key is being normal and focused. unfortunately, poor tom is the opposite of these words. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ182 Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Agree with you guys /\ I still think if he was more sane he could've kept doing Blink and in his down time turned this obsession into a hilarious documentary series Anthony Bourdain style, but with this stuff instead of food, where he just travels around and researches phenomena and local legends and stuff. It would've honestly come across much more legitimate that way too haha. But something is off with the guy at this point as we can all tell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my memory serves correct, both his parents were successful business owners. I think I remember him saying that in the Blinkumentaries they ran some corporate type business.

Now we all know what the fuck is going on with our world. Tom is fucking retarded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Same old story since 2006. Since then, Tom's things to do, to save or to make revolutionary list was: - A rock'n'roll revolution with AvA and the first album, specially. - A music industry revolution with the creation of Modlife. - A revolutionary way for artists to interact with fans through Modlife. - A revolutionary collaboration with NASA (what was that, where it ended?) - A 'transmedia' experience with all the Poet thing, trying to create a kind of franchise from scratch. A thing that would include, of course, books, comics, short movies and long ones, aside of OSTs and all. Do you remember that? Neither him, the shit just got diluded through the years. Now this. And on, and on, and on... The only mistery to me is: from where in the hell he gets the money? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Yep and his money comes from blink. you got to wonder what goes thru his mind when everything he’s done outside of blink operates at a finiacial loss that is only propped up with is that.....you’d think after 11 years he’d get a clue.

Sure, but does that amount make the proper cut to pay all the amount of stuff he moves? Honestly asking. I mean... the guys that embarked on the academy thing, those are paid ones, for sure. I don't think they swallow any word that Tom says. That's what I find fascinating. I don't know how much money do you need to move that -never got into that kind of shit or market, so to say-, so maybe is less than I think, but still. It's like Oli says: endless money loss. If blink salary is providing the money, then blink is an amazing holy cow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

High Value Man Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Topic title edited Tom is posting all kinds of photo shopped alien shit and saying its real. Whats left of his credibility is going into the shitter and even like 90% of tombots have bailed on support. I am going to say this could be the start of rock bottom. Which hopefully leads to him getting some help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoltan Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 with this level of money and ambition a healthy mind could do some real good projects. but somehow tom chooses the most unlovable/boring topics, or even if something's interesting, his company have a strategy to make it obnoxious. the funny thing is, blink-182 (and bcr) was tom's only project that worked, people loved it, people thought it was something special and revolutionary. yet it is the project he described as "childish". and he thought there was more potential in a 8-minute piece of shit animation than in blink. i'm not saying he should do blink again, he shouldn't. but if he was normal, he should do something that is as lovable/good as blink... but he's insane and spends years planning on projects that appeals only 0.01% of the population (maximum 1 million people worldwide), and he expects the same level of positive feedbacks what he got with blink (100+ million). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 I don't know... I always say the same: Tom was way more revolutionary when he didn't try than now, that he really tries to be. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If blink salary is providing the money, then blink is an amazing holy cow. This is the million dollar question. How big are the paychecks Tom is collecting from blink? My grocery store sells the Enema CD in the bargain bin for $5. Even if they sold thousands of those a week, which I doubt, that's not a ton of $ in comparison to how much musicians used to make. Certainly not enough to support Tom's hobbies, crazy or otherwise. But if you add in the streaming revenue and all that bullshit...and I'm just hypothesizing here, but if Tom gets a chunk of the tour $, he's probably doing ok to get some of these companies upstarted. Again, none of us have any real idea. Pretty sure I'm just restating what others have said on here before. It just depends what Mark agreed to in order to get him off Cali.
