Thibaut182 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 They made Tom's guitars from 1998 into pins with the stickers too! https://www.upsmuck.com/product/td-red/ https://www.upsmuck.com/product/td-lp-black/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted October 6, 2020 Report Share Posted October 6, 2020 Been thinking about ordering some of those. I’m not the collector I once was though and it’s harder to justify pointless stuff like that. Still might grab one haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say they were always pretty equivalent until Boxcar racer permanently fucked Mark's psyche with blink and Tom urged the band to different sounds on Untitled and then whatever you want to call Neighborhoods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the "attractive" one they banked on more, but it didn't make a difference artistically until BCR and onwards. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's interesting, I didn't get the sense that Tom was being pushed forward until Untitled. Even just thinking about singles they had in Enema/TOYPAJ it comes out pretty even, but with Mark having the lead single both times (unless I'm remembering wrong haha): WMAA - Mark ATST - Tom Adam's Song - Mark Rock Show - Mark First Date - Tom STFTK - Both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was the right age at that time and I remember a hell of a lot of Tom stuff that pushed him as some kind of sex symbol for the tweens, way more so than Mark. So Tom as the lead / frontman in a media sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could definitely be right about posters/magazines, I don't remember seeing many that weren't the 3 of them on equal ground kinda Beastie Boys style but it's been a long time since those days haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were always co-frontmen to me, and I found out about them with WMAA. I also always thought Mark was the better looking one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my later post, I didn't mean he *was* the lead, but he was marketed that way as a tweeny pretty boy more than the others were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But how so? They seemed to always both be in the forefront and marketed together. What pictures or marketing products are you referring to where Tom was ever placed out in front of Mark, with more visibility than Mark, or any different than Mark? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm talking about 1999 - 2001ish so I don't exactly have examples to hand, but I mean more the stuff aimed at kids and young girls, like pre teen magazines and the like.
