Because in my mind it actually makes perfect sense. Melodically a lot of their songs sound like nursery rhymes... Specially the vocals... but those songs are "on steroids" - the big guitars, the drums, etc... It's because his intent behind calling it that repeatedly is to minimize it and to treat it as a relic of the past rather than something that's current. Same reason he plays like shit live and doesn't put effort into his singing, he thinks because it represents the "wild, fun time!" of being a teenager/skater/punk or whatever he doesn't have to try. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like he's already been told it isn't gonna happen so that is his random justification for it. Meanwhile, he still gets to use blink as a way to send traffic to his site and projects. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is bullshit dude. Mark literally flew across the ocean on a whim when you wanted to record an EP to trick the band into joining Modlife before it went tits up. this just bums me out. And Travis figured out a way to route a freaking boat to take him to tour overseas, while Tom was plotting to replace him with Wackerman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most nursery rhymes will follow a rhyme scheme like ABCB, where the last word in the second and third lines rhyme. "Fuck this place I lost the war I hate you all Your mom's a whore" Tom sort of has a point ... most simple songs follow basic, nursery rhyme schemes.

Probably because he gets to see the flood of weirdo fans out there first ... while we mostly get a skewed view of a board of fans that tends to shut down the nutzos pretty quickly.

Kay Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 I'm amazed Ghent and JarJar managed to have a full page of ranting over possibly the most chill and level headed interview Toms given in years. He just said they were busy. That's not untrue. Travis is doing shit loads and while I'm sure blink is his priority, if this was a recent discussion he wouldn't be able to just "drop everything". Marks also been dealing with literal cancer for months and Tom is about to release an album. Who *isn't* busy, in this instance? I'd get the outrage in the past, but for this interview it's quite unjustified. He didn't mention AVA or TTS, he didn't wank on about blink being unimportant or him being a government secret agent nonesense, he was just like "oh we talk about it but life's complicated" Fuck ya'll are thirsty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
