The Tom Delonge Thread

I honestly don't think the membership thing is a problem, just bc you can get it for $20 annually, and musicians don't really make money from their music anymore. Kinda think it's a non issue. The higher levels are overpriced, but eh most band stuff is (merch etc.)

To The Stars is the actual scam people should be mad about, imo

I enjoyed the first BTS video they have of Tom describing the new album, sprinkle in a few of those with limited vinyl and early access to tickets and it is well worth $4.08/month imho. 
 

And that’s not even getting into the monthly livestreams/demos/studio stuff they’re promising.

 

We have blink182italia to share all of that stuff with us though?

Or support artists you enjoy? Don’t really see the problem here.

I’m just joking I’m not actually suggesting there’s not value to bts content just because you can easily “steal” it.

Tom should start an Only Fans. He would probably get more subscribers. 

lol dude, Tom could tell gross jokes on a subscription plan and I'd probably subscribe. It's not the fact that he's trying to make money. It's the fact that he tries to make money without offering real services.

It's like the investment scam. It doesn't sit well with me morally.

Or maybe, and bare with me here as I'm just spitballing, it could be a way to get some kind of income to the rest of the band members?

If they deliver on their promises on this thing it's fucking amazing for the fans of the band. 

 

Modlife was a great and innovative idea at the time that had multiple chats where fans could chat with band members, webcam live streams, early bird access to tons of stuff etc. You guys are acting like it was a dead site

The problem is that there is an IF involved at all.

He has promised services that there is almost no chance he delivers. 

How do I know he won’t? Because he has done this before. Multiple times. He never delivers.

I would know, I joined Army of Angels right off the bat and all I got was a dead message board with Ryan Sinn apologizing for how shitty it was... and an AVA pin.

Absolutely disgusting from Tom, especially during COVID. 

Why the hell do these rich celebrities need to charge those type of prices? How about you prove your worth and then start charging later down the line. 

I guarantee you they'll retract these prices and apologize for it. So fucking typical.

Come off it. The site was a failure. There is a reason why Tom never talks about it. 

Tom would pop in once in a blue moon and leave after 5 minutes. Ryan Sinn was definitely the only one who was trying to make that site work. 

As people have said, Tom never delivers. He has these ideas and they're typically asshat. He can literally take $99 up front and have a live stream once and a while and make it seem that you've had your 99 dollars worth. He's doing so many different projects.... that you can't trust him. Also, it's not like Angels and Airwaves is a big band or anything. The hype to their fame was off the back from Blink breaking up. The only people who care about that band is Tom fans. 

This is a terrible cash grab.... and I hope he gets called out for it. He honestly should apologize, especially when people are struggling from COVID.

1. No, it's not a big band, that's why things like this are pretty cool and why it -theoretically- works. 

2. "The only people who care about that band is Tom fans" -  Well, yeah, he is the frontman of the band? 
and, there are plenty of Ava fans that doesn't care for blink.

3. I'm not gonna argue modlife because we clearly remember it differently and it won't go anywhere
