asdf182 Posted June 21, 2020 Report Share Posted June 21, 2020 I've been watching some blink interviews on Youtube and it's weird how Mark and Tom say things like our old drummer when they talk about Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His role wasn't Scott in the band, he was the drummer, he wasn't really a personality. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably seems weirder NOW than it did then, because we all know the history so well by this point. At that time they were getting way more attention and doing way more interviews than ever before that spread the band to people who had never heard of them. If they were saying "Scott did this/when we did that with Scott" it would just add confusion to the mix for all the interviewers and new fans who didn't know they had an old drummer, and were wondering who the hell this "Scott" guy is. It was also probably more helpful to make Travis feel more of a part of the band to put the spotlight on him instead of mentioning Scott by name. Just saying "our old drummer" cuts through the confusion and gets to the point more efficiently. I assume they were following some kind of PR advice like that at the time.

There is an interview with Mark and Tom during the reunion years wear Tom mentions Scott by name. I’m too lazy to find it but that definitely happened. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hit me up Jans ex Posted June 24, 2020 Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 Alright here’s the interview I was talking about. I’m definitely too lazy to find the time in video where he mentions Scott, but if my memory serves me correct, Tom even said he remembers hearing Scott playing drums and saying “He was really good.” So I’m pretty sure he actually compliments him .
