Chewy030 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Reunion Tom sounded like GARBAGE on that song. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I think a lot of Tom's vocal and performance issues on the reunion were that he didn't give a shit. Part of it was drinking; but as I said the last time I saw Blink with Tom at a club it was easily the craziest show I've been to in my entire life. Pure insanity, and Tom wasn't even there. It was like he was green screened onstage. A bomb could have gone off in the front row and he wouldn't have noticed. He literally wore his hat over his eyes and wouldn't look at anyone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Kyle_ Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Stage fright right? He's probably better with 10,000 people than 1,000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zzzz Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I thought I heard an AVA interview once where Tom said he never looks at the crowd when he's on stage, or at least when he first goes on stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elisa Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 That time when I was front row, right in front of Tom, he never looked at the crowd the whole time, or at Mark and Travis at all. It was so unpleasant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordidanen95 Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 I get anxious playing for a small crowd on a small stage in a bar or whatever. I have played pop venues on a big stage in front of a few hundred people and i have no problem with looking at the crowd although i hate it during the first 2 songs because of healthy nerves. The bigger the crowd the more disconnected you feel and you can do your thing and walk around stage to get the nerves out. I think many of us feel the same way (for everyone in a band) I can be a bit insecure about my playing when on stage.....not that i'm bad but you just think very negative when you see someone looking at you or your playing......those people are not out to bring you down at all...but your insecurities make it seem so. Even if i fuck up a few notes during the set...i feel like i fucked up so much. But you would think tom has no problem with that after all these years. I think he knows that people know that he's not that good of a live singer or a great guitarist...i dunno. Tom seemed way more social and cool in 1999 then the later blink years. I have very very mild aspergers and it seems tom somehow changed into someone on the spectrum. He is obsessed by a few things. Very uncomfortable on stage at times. Such a core personality change. But i got to give it to him....he has toured the world and is now focusing on things he personally wants to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted April 11, 2017 Report Share Posted April 11, 2017 Could it be the wine. Maybe he sounded better drinking beer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaun Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 had a dream last night that i was at a blink concert and Tom was back, singing a California song. i can't remember which one but i still remember him slurring. weird dream.

Kay Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Stuff like that reminds me why it's so great to have Skiba in blink just from a live perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jane Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 Well thanx now I can't get the weird thought of Tom singing Sober out of my head. Lol. That would be so so bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha I had a blink dream last night too. In my dream the Cali deluxe wasn't even released yet and out of nowhere blink put two new albums up for preorder.

He would think it was a joke song I bet lol. tbh, I would pay actual money to watch a live stream of Tom listening to California. I think a lot of people would. He'd probably make more off of it than any of his latest merch bundles. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted April 12, 2017 Report Share Posted April 12, 2017 If I cared I'd totally make an online petition or pester him on social media or something, but that sounds like effort so I'm throwing the idea out there for someone with less shame and more time than me.

He would probably just block the person lmao. But I would definitely pay to watch him listen to California as well, I really don't think he's listened to it all IMHO. I feel like he would've gone on a rant for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
