Travis would probably let Tom back in just so he can play music and Mark will see $$$ and be all for it. It could be a reunion/farewell tour. I've always thought the same thing, not sure it's realistic anymore though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You and others need to stop living in the past and thinking that its actually the same. Tom is not mentally sound. Matt is as batshit as anybody. At least Tom can write decent music. Matt is worthless to blink in every single way except he shows up at shows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly and its only getting worse, it's like he's schizophrenic, saying one thing, then hours later, if that, rescinding what he just said. I'd be less concerned if this was the only instance of this behavior in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably an ex-employee handbook at best. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If their next album doesn't do as well as California, I could see Tom becoming an option again. Mark loves being in the spotlight and seems like he will do anything to stay relevant; Tom would help provide a spark to the band. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I've said it before and will say it again, Tom is not going back to Blink. Not a fact, an opinion. But I just don't see it. Like not at all. With the exception of some rock and roll hall of fame thing. People don't always get back together. Steve Perry never went back to Journey ya know? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Perry never went back to Journey ya know? True. And if we're talking about mental illness (which, to be fair, for now, it's only and assumption, even if he's doing bat crazy shit), the thing gets much worse. When Brian Wilson had his own nervous breakdown in the 60s, he was able to stay functionally in the studio with The Beach Boys during a few years more, but he stopped touring with the band (Bruce Johnston filled in and, in the end, became the sixth member). But the shit got much worse. Brian didn't got treatment since he had that breakdown in 1964, and the shit went crazier until 1967, when he finally collapsed (the whole aborted Smile thing)... and don't gorget it: it all mixed with substance abuse. Since then, he, basically, remained as a residual shadow of what he had been on his peak, and got self-separated from any activity on the band, ecept for some concrete appearances here and there on the studio recordings. He shut down himself, and stayed in the bed at home. The thing: it took like more than 20 years to have a kind of reinvigorated version of Brian back with the boys. More than 20 fucking years. And he's not even recovered now. I mean, I don't have a clue about what's happening to Tom. Don't know if he's mentally ill or if he's just a little boy playing with his money. To me it's sad. Really sad, because it doesn't look 'normal', so to say. And I can see the cause of blink's breakdownback in 2004 as a result of an hipothetical Tom's menthal problem not being properly treated. Then, it al fell down. Anyway, I'd really love to have him back, to be better and sane. But well, who the fuck knows what's going onand what future holds for him?. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I mean obviously we're on the outside looking in but I think he's definitely got some mental issues beyond just being the little kid in the movie Blank Check. His entire personality changed DRASTICALLY since 2004, much moreso than what would be considered maturing or aging. There have been tons of rock stars over the years who stayed immature well into middle age and even more who were irresponsible with money, but there's a reason why Tom's bullshit becomes news, he's WAY outside the norm.
