I’m just happy to wake up to an interview from an artist I care about, I hope everyone is staying positive. We all need to be uplifted.
Yerrrrr
100%
You too nicholas!!! Sending good vibes!!
@@andy_182 I hate shit posters and myself for doing it so I’m sorry. Please check out my bands new demo? We’d really appreciate it. Don’t hate me. czcams.com/video/tOxS769BN1c/video.html
😆🔫
How has Tom not learned that the only response to " how are things?" Is " Everything's magic"
When he laughs, it brings me back to my middle school days when I was obsessed with watching old school Blink interviews. I don’t exactly know how much he likes to be connected to or associated with those days, but man, it really feels like the golden days. Best of luck Tom, you’ve always been one of my favorite artists, and one of my favorite people.
Boxcar racer album is my favorite album by far
If only he still wrote that well. Tom hit his stride during that era just before Blink's self-titled
@@karlpilkington3669 he still writes good just not as good boxcar forever
@@hichance0024 If you're a Boxcar racer fan - when Tom was writing and sounding vocally at his best imo in that era - late 90's to 2007, how can you possibly enjoy the stuff he writes and sings now? It's world's apart, it's like a totally different artist!
@@karlpilkington3669 I still love Tom's music man it's obviously not as good but still good
@@hichance0024 "It's obviously not as good" - at least we can agree on that!
4 minutes in and he makes a joke about being naked in high heels. God I love this man.
Tom Delonge inspired me to learn the guitar on my own from his Blink-182 days. Now that I'm older (in my 20s), I fully appreciate where he is in life now that includes his creativity and mindset. You still inspire me today. Thank you Tom.
me too 33 now
31. Tom/Blink taught me how to play guitar and melody. THANK YOU TOM
He's has such an emotive tone to his voice, it's magical and very nostalgic to me!
I love how he’s being interviewed in his car too what a cool idea
I doubt it was an idea, as much as it was circumstance
God Bless You Tom see ya in October
NME gave I-Empire 3/10 stars.... I read that years ago and did not forget that so watching this is feels bittersweet really
underrated album
It's no WDNTW, but it's definitely not a 3/10. That's just harsh.
Man, I-Empire is my favorite album ever or top three at worst. The first four albums are all in my top thirty or so and comparing them doesn't even matter as they're all perfection to me
Jesus. I-Empire had a few amazing songs. 3/10 is literally "I love blink but I hate any song that any blink member puts out that's not part of blink 182." Fuck NME. Yeah its bittersweet, But NME suck. 100%
the critics who write those reviews are absolute snobs. They hate anything that's current and different. If they wrote the review now, it would've gotten a higher rating.
Super collection of answers ! I just randomly typed in Tom Delonge, an it just so happens that I completely identify with everything he's talking about. Stellar interview, and great questions !
Tom is aging really well. He looks like he lost weight also
Men age like wine, women age like milk.
How do we have 11,000 plus views and barely 300 likes! lets give this man some love! hit that like button. Love the conversation with Tom!
Honestly Tom's history in music is super impressive but i'd like to hear more about UAP's please...
Yes every chance interviewing Tom without UAP question is wasted opportunity. He may tell us something new.
He’s not looking at the water, he’s watching UFO’s
couldn't agree more
Or is he on a hunt for bigfoot 🤔
@theflyingjew cawcks awn the waaaa-terrrrrr
@theflyingjew He’s very open about it too usually.
I do the same thing on video calls on my phone. It’s so weird looking at the phone talking and thinking. I often look off into the distance
20:13 I can't wait to listen to the new album, just got into AVA little than a year ago and am loving it.. The Box Car Racer news really got to me too, the self titled album was just a ball full of energy and anger and sadness, but when mashed together its the greatest thing you could ever get!
Tom always continues to be a great inspiration and I can't wait for Monsters in California, I hope it will be hard R rated and won't hold back as an indie film
Being a good person is a pretty bitchin thing
Man I love that!
Hearing Enema Of The State for the first time at 14 made me say "this is the new direction of pop punk" so I know what Tom is saying when he says pop punk needs a new direction.
Yep there here Tom for sure I’ve seen them first one back in 1976 daylight over the Columbia river in daylight up close definitely a eye opener
I love how inspirational he is when I watch him and then I wish I was making rad music
Haha Tom doesn’t change his love for UFOs sounds so cool
Uh that’s maybe the only thing he hasn’t changed. I actually hate how hard he’s working to portraying himself as someone opposite of what he led us to believe most of his career, but fuck whatever. He’s so damn pretentious. Love his music and books though. I can’t idolize this weirdo no mo’.
Love Tom 👏🙏🤘🏻
new boxar album needs to happen one day
PIXAR entered the chat
I’m a big fan
this dude is a legend. I will never forget the day I woke up and found out aliens visited us.
That’s what their new album is called lifeforms what a cool name for an album
Whether these UAPs are angels being mistaken for aliens, or aliens, back in the day, being mistaken for angels, it still makes a lot of sense.
A 30 min interview needs chapter segments
the dude who skips a song 24 seconds in.
I love how the interviewer is talking to Tom Delonge from his bedroom
Looking back, from 18:03 to 21:00, it seems like his answers really foreshadows his return in Blink-182.
Good interview
Damn I was about to say he should do movies and now he just says it✨
I'm eagerly awaiting book 3, sir. (Both of them)
thanks for this!
I want to see them
Can’t wait to see AvA next March 😍
Restless Souls sounds just like Dry Your Eyes during the chorus lol
No, they dont
I agree
Gorgeous Tom is
Did he just say he dances at he bar naked in high heels? lol
Yeah, I’m sure that’s normal 😂
Yes, and would love just see him in heels....
I’m here
The ending bit was hilarious
Elevator ft mark hoppus. 🖤
'acoustically diverse' ... me: fucking YAY! can't wait.. so intrigued... something to look forward to 🤩
Tom made an Excellent summary of TTSA mission...music & entertainment is the perfect venue for awakening many to this paradigm-shift of consciousness...making Delonge The Messiah...
Hah the way Tom pronounces”hard”
He looks young still aging well
His voice is deep as fuck now though
Ok
I want that shirt
How come Tom's voice sounds so high pitched now?
i think he's talking more naturally/ casually. his voice was waay higher in the enema days (watch interviews).
g e n i u s ❤️
4 years till 50. I bet no one actually thinks about his age. Also, this the first interview I seen of him... I'm 29 and grew up on him lmao.
He's got a long way to go still. Clint Eastwood is 91. Jimmy Carter is 97, and Henry Kissinger is 98. People just live longer nowadays if they pay attention to their health and do not get into fatal accidents.
Antes de mi comentario habían 182 comentarios!!! Es una locura🤘
I love kiss&tell too
What do I know? A lot mate a lot.
Take off your pants and jacket album is a great album
What car is he driving ?
I think he has a Ford Raptor
He’s got a Raptor unless he switched cars recently
He clearly doesn't understand the importance of firearm rights but I still dig his music
Box car racer lasted like a year haha
Great video thank you ! Just wondering why Tom hasn’t followed up on the most recent “ galactic federation of aliens “
He was talking about how it was coming out and all this info he had how it was coming from the highest of powers …. I thought he was talking about the government but I guess he is in contact with the galactic confederation????
I love this video! I've been doing a little bit of research and "the visitors" are using ancient Hebrew symbols to try and communicate. One example is they design buildings to communicate purpose. So when more visiting craft arrive, the see buildings designed in a fashion to know what's going on inside. Have fun finding these buildings in the desert. They're also creating modern symbology with Hebrew in the "protected" desert. These visitors DO NOT LIKE secrecy and keep their word. Are we being kept grounded because the gov is falsely telling the visitors we are all like the curated news being fed to the visitors?
He didn’t even really talk about UFOs!
I love rebel girl
He has his wedding ring on…. I thought he and Jen sadly got divorced
@Hiy Hiy2 wowo that was fast. Where did you hear this?
Euphoria is a good song
tom's wearing his wedding ring again ?
He’s remarried
@@soulsurvivor182_9 damn already? Didn’t he just meet this chick like a 1-2 years ago
@@tannerthepanman9202 I think he might’ve known her longer. She was his friend’s wife.
based on what i know about Tom, I think all of the far out alien stuff is an elaborate long play joke leading up to some kind of juvenile, toilet themed punchline, and I for one, am here for it
Shallow unlike Tom’s voice haha
I hate to say this, because I love Tom…but I think after this album and tour I won’t have any reason to follow him. Especially not if there’s no more music coming. These “books and movies” are far from exciting, and there’s a 99.9% chance I won’t learn anything about consciousness from Tom. Give me a call when more music is in the works
Lol hes my hero dude. But hes a crazy rich person now. He lost me at "If you love wine, you"ll end up owning a vinyard". Yeah, just let me call my banker and have him wire me some funds from my Cayman islands account.
grow that moustache to make you BOOMER again
I wonder if Tom actually has ADHD
We all do to an extent.
IIRC he’s talked about getting diagnosed as an adult
We all know people who murder would not carry a gun illegally. That would be crossing the line
My guy Tom... Wer'e all self medicating in these shit times.
Just do blink reunion dude
Sadly that might not even be possible since Mark has cancer
@@BrodyCanuck Hopefully after Mark's recovery. Didn't he said he's gonna kick cancer's ass?
Why can’t you just support what he’s doing now and stop pestering him about a blink reunion?
@@jayramsay8922 Because he can support himself. Don't worry about him
@@rachmadsuhartono you people literally pester him all the time about a blink reunion. Grow up, and move on. Stop being annoying.
Did he get married again? Hes got a ring on the left ring finger
Yes
I love Tom and I love listening to him talk but this is the 2nd interview I've heard him say "toxic masculinity" while blaming shit on men. Its kind of gross. Also, the part where he mentioned people loving their guns is "dumb", I think is what he said. Kind of a dumb thing to say considering that guns is what keeps us from a tyrannical government. Not to mention that they're a tool to protect your family friends and neighbors. Other then that, great iinterview.
It's guilt incase ppl bring up how he was in the late 90's early 2000's
@@ExileGilby64 Interesting take. I could picture that. Maybe afraid of being called out/cancelled?
@@commodore6430 I grew up listening to Blink 182 and bands like that, I think he's cool. They were kids though and it must make him think looking back how he must of behaved on tour, they used to joke about sex on stage and stuff. I don't think he was evil or horrible, but he is on the world's stage and careers have been cancelled left right and centre lol
@@ExileGilby64 I mean when you say kids, he was 25 on stage yelling about boobies and she being too young lol. They were just young dudes having fun. Actually I always admired how they conducted themselves professionally about the band and their personal lives when they were younger. The internet kinda ruined that.
@@commodore6430 haha true! I'm 38 now, I was definitely a kid at 25 compared to now lol. Must be a strange life though, going on stage every night to thousands of ppl loving what you are doing, if I had that whilst sat at my laptop everyday maybe my ego would go crazy haha
When did we stop helping broken people and teaching them not to be a victim, and instead blaming a group of people for damaging them? jfc. Tom is lost in fucking space. End of story.
Yeah no. It's been like 5 years and all your organization has done is dropped like one video we all saw 10 years ago. Just say the music industry changed and you couldn't adapt so you just went with a hobby of yours to rip people off.
They released more than one video. They also made 2 seasons of "Unidentified" on the History Channel. There are so many people talking about UAPs now that TTSA began disclosing things. I'd say they've done quite a bit so far. Also they've released a few books about UAPs as well.
@@sotarerepublic8809 they've just released a bunch of shit I've seen on CZcams for the last 10 years nothing amazing at all.
I feel like Tom is selling out by putting these political messages in his songs. Complete opposite to what he used to stand for.
"What he used to stand for"
So as a kid/young adult with no family or businesses not really caring about anything just touring and seeing the world, to being an adult with priorities and ambitious you think what he "stand for" is exactly the same? Like his personality and responsibilities are frozen in time...? The ethos of punk is staying true to yourself, and he is. He's being himself and not selling you a former version of himself. He grew up. You call him a sellout for that?
Also, his view on politics is insane and screams deepstate. He wants the american people to give up their guns (Which is there to protect themselves from tyrannical government to protect the 1st amendment) And on twitter hes saying he wants a one world government and military (Which is already a thing...the UN military). If his views come true....the USA would turn into full socialist that would lead to full communism, China and the corrupt democrats and some corrupt RINOS would let china take over the USA completely. The west would fall, And youll get a technocratic communism world with middle classes vanishing and creating hell on earth. I used to love tom as a teen, but my god hes a total whack job. Either really dumb in terms of world views, of secretly deepstate.
Does he actually not care about what’s happening with Mark though?
Why would he have to speak about it on a public platform in order to care?
@@MarksMindBox well he has now mentioned mark on twitter but I would think him of all people would be upset & after this week when we will discover how long Mark has to live, it would have to lead to a reunion & possible farewell tour
@@davidlance5310 and you think someone needs to trot their upset out on a public platform like emotional porn in order to justify it to you?
Mark Brewer it gave me doubt about how deep the band's split from tom was also I've seen them twice and I personally now think I've triggered another event with seeing performers live where they end up not being around anymore
@@davidlance5310 What?!
