The catalog of music that Tom has created from Blink, BCR to Angels and Airwaves is mind blowing.
Not really
even his solo album To The Stars (2015) is amazing
Yes
@@ttmmaacc😭🤬☝️
All that mostly with only power chords 😆😆😆🤣
It's truly remarkable how Tom's journey can appear as a string of lucky, coincidental events, yet in hindsight, it's clear that it was truly destiny.
I like what he said in the beginning about your thoughts becoming reality. A trope to be sure; but his delivery was genuine and full of love.
It’s all about being prepared when opportunities come. You can’t control when or if opportunities ever come, but you can control being prepared.
It was meant to be 🤘
Dude no way. When I heard the first Blink records before Travis I knew he was exceptional. He was extremely technical back then but became simplified as Blink went pop punk with Enema. I'd argue he was a better guitarist back then. Now its all phasers and effects with Angels and bar chord stuff with Blink. Tom's early stuff was pure gold.
Exactly, let hendrix be he hendrix. Let Tom be Tom, and let yourself be yoursel. @trillandsteez-om5tt
Tom is definitely "The Talent" when it came to the Blink days. Mark was "The Face", Travis was "The Wild Card", but Tom truly carried a musical vision.
Tom was all 3
Tom is the reason I picked up the guitar and will be forever grateful for that. Turning 40 this year and he is right blink 182 is about growing up
Me too stay together for the kids was why I started playing
Same. Tom and blink are the reason I picked up guitar and grew up the way I did. When I was a kid, I would randomly write blink-182 lyrics and their logo all over my notebooks, homework, etc. Even now as an adult at 30, I have blink-182 lyrics in my work email signature and have their logo as a sticker on my work laptop. Now I’m working to save up for Tom’s Starcaster. We all grew up with blink and are still influenced by them. What a legacy.
I started playing because my friend in7th grade played me the blowjob song on the mark tom and Travis show, I asked him to burn the song to a cd for me-fully expecting a cd with 1 song on it. He burned the full album. When I heard that open E of dumpweed and the screaming crowd… my life was changed. I fell asleep to it every night blasting in my headphones, and got my mom to buy me a guitar and lessons. Then I got lucky and bumped into a friend who had a friend selling a black Tom Delonge Strat in my high school. I got it for $100, and my mom bought me that on my word that it was a killer deal. It was stolen from me 4 years later, but I just bought the color I always wanted… Daphne blue. 😁
Tom is just a good soul
I grew up with him
Blink-182 4Evr❤❤❤
Did you like actually know him?!!
I could listen to Tom all day. the way he talks so passionately about everything
and the songs he has given us with all his projects 🤩🤩
What he said about having one person say they enjoyed your set and they see something in your band is genuinely the best feeling. My band played Chiddfest last year with some huge bands such as the Hoosiers and some older ones like East 17, Black Box and Lemar. We played on the Friday night, and on the Saturday morning when we were heading to the showers a dude recognised us and said how he thought our set was fucking awesome as he loved pop punk music. And it just made our whole year, that one random guy at a festival 😭
As a huge Tom fan, and a proud Melbournite, I'm so stoked that the beautiful city of Melbourne plays a role in this awesome video.
We were one of those screaming people!!! I went to all 5 Melbourne shows 😂
This was masterfully filmed.
The voice-over at the start of this video is one of the most unintentionally Spinal Tap things I’ve heard in ages.
“And when you open your mouth, and say words, words come out, and I say them, and they are heard, if there’s someone else there, and if there’s no one else there, they won’t be, but I said the words, so they were said, but what if I didn’t say them, or if I said something else, those would be other words…”
i thought the same thing lol
It’s typical Tom documentary shit at this point
Tom's explanation of developing a work ethic at 8:36 really made me stop what I was doing and listen to it again. And again. And again. Pretty much sums up my life the last 2 years.
This person tells you that you can create your own reality, the world. Remember that.
It was an absolute honour to be involved in this doco & to be able to share my love of music & astronomy with Tom. The man is a pure gentleman & all class!
He’s pure soul and it’s always been the most beautiful attractive and inspiring thing to witness in this world.
His Stratocaster changed my life. It was the guitar I needed when I was a kid. Played one from 13-19 years old.
Tom is a real legend
5:55 he’s playing Carousel 😃
He played a few other gems that day ;)
How do u know
@@theempire00 Because i was there. I'm the Astronomer in the documentary
@@TheAstroPunkVlog omg 😨
@@theempire00 because it’s one of my favorite blink songs
The impact that Tom and Blink have had on me and the world is immeasurable. Its been an awesome journey to watch and be a part of. The OG graffiti yellow strat was my first quality guitar when I was 15 and it absolutely changed my life.
When the Squier versions of these drop, the sales will be freaking incredible
There's already starcasters for squiers
I’m 23, so I grew up in the wake of the first Blink breakup. I got into Blink because of my sister. It’s insane how much of an influence Tom had on me as a kid, a teenager, and young adult. I picked up the guitar because of him. Started to think about the world in a certain way because of him. It’s different now; I still love Blink and Angels and Box Car and +44, but I’ve grown out of that phase of life where you’re so open to influence. I still credit this man with playing an irreplaceable role in my growing up.
Brazilian fan here and my dream came true last month when Blink-182 played here in Brazil for the first time. Another dream is see Angels and Airwaves live.
Parabéns! Ainda sonho ir à um show dessas duas bandas
Just got my white Starcaster today. It’s freaking awesome! Love you Tom!
how can anyone not like Tom?
I love you Tom Delonge. And I'm so happy that you say these things. You saved my life. My family was just like yours. When all hell happened, I lost my family, I lost my friends, I had no more school to go to, I thought everything was over. But I traveled to the stars...
I love Tom
5:02 how to mention Tom´s previous signature guitar with Gibson without mentioning Gibson
When I heard there was a new Tom Fender I thought it would be a new strat. This new guitar is so cool!
Can’t ever thank enough Tom for all his music
Tom is the reason I started playing guitar at 15. I’m 36 now. I still have my original sea foam green Tom Strat. I’ve bought and sold countless pieces of music gear but it’s the one thing I won’t let go of. He’s the reason I only play Fender and why I also own a Jaguar and a Tele. Thank you, Tom.
Truly an inspiration.
Haha you sound like me! Started playing at 15 and have got the Seafoam Green as well!
I didn’t start playing till 23. I played around 6 hours a day sometimes all day on my days off. Went from never touching a guitar to starting my own band because people blew me off because I only had less then 2 years experience and around 2 1/2 years my band was playing bigger shows, opening for national bands, getting played on local radio stations all because I heard Josie on the radio one night and said f**k it I’m gonna play guitar and be in a band. I never owned a signature tom delonge strat but I gutted a brand new red strat, put a black pick guard on it and invader pick up it’s the only guitar I’ve ever liked playing live
@@peanutbutterisfu this is what I’m talking about, my dude. I love this.
He is my favorite artist wish I could afford his new Starcaster
Tom is such a living Legend 🙌💫
Tom talking about his parents... I fully felt all of that in my soul. Mine were the same as a child. I've connected with him on many levels the older I get. People put celebs on a pedestal, but they are just like us and while different have similar experiences. All of this puts on paths that cross in someway or another. I can't wait to get a Starcaster. I got the Strat last year.
Cant wait to see him playing it in AVA
this is the progression of the Ernie Ball Pursuit of Tone in 2016, it was a wild ride since then. 🤘🌎
Tom Delonge fresh out of the “sick strange darkness” 😎 🎸
I gowned up with this band, Tom my forever idol and role model
And my you still wear that gown, good sir!
I guess this is gowing up!
Tom has been my biggest inspiration as a musician and artist. Lot of my guitar playing is inspired by him and same for songwriting.
That story about them handing the 50 tickets back uses to be that they gave them snapples and they made them stop only a few songs into their set. First time I've heard that version of the story and I've been aware of that story for almost 25 years lol
After Kurt Cobain died, Tom was a punk hero in my heart. I love Tom's music, all the bands he's done and of course Macbeth. Kurt and tom are the musical geniuses of my life.
Love u from indonesian.
Absolute legend, he isn't the best guitarist (self admitted) but that makes him come up with innovative Riffs rock on dude 🔥
Fender's answer to Epiphone's Dave Grohl 335.... 😅
The Epiphone dg335 does look amazing. The only problem is it's $300 more, made in China, and says Epiphone on the headstock. The starcaster is honestly an amazing alternative for anyone that was considering the dg335 but doesn't want to spend that much on an Epiphone. Save $300, it's made in a country with more consistent quality control, and it has a name you'd want on the headstock. Especially considering the price I think it's a big win for Fender, even though it's been in the works forever.
You can’t watch this whole thing and then also say Tom is making up his contacts and is crazy. Read his books. Life changing
Love that he’s playing AVA on it and can’t wait to get one!
It’s pretty cool they shot this at Rod laver arena and other parts of Australia on their Australian tour
I cried
Firstly, cool this was filmed where I was born. (Melbourne, Australia)
Secondly, the more I hear Tom talk and share his experiences the more inspired I am by his journey.
I never really liked Blink 182 when they started getting airtime, but now years later it makes sense and resonates more. The Starcaster is representative of that process, one day I'll add one to my collection. Thanks Tom, thanks Fender 😀👍
Tom floating down the Yarra, Brian Eno soundtrack, what more could you want
Carajo, casi lloro.. gran historia de Tom.. gracias por tanto, eres el mejor. Que jefeeee. ❤🫡
Imagine this signature gitar in Pelham Blue color
That's our favourite guy right there ❤
@delongescience awesome to see you here! Huge fan of your AI.
@@iatspirit ❤️ thanks dude!
Tom is such an inspiration! 🥰
te amo tom gracias por tanto
“Blink is about growing up”
I see its in Melbourne!!! Absolutely loved there tour in Australia went to soo many shows shame I couldnt get to the sydney ones or else would have been an east coast tour seeing them. Grateful to be able to experience seeing Blink all together after so many years. Their tour inspired me to buy a bass & made me love them even more.
Amo a tom delonge. Amo a blink 182 yo creci con esta banda y ellos fueron mi compañía en la adolescencia. Y solo puedo agradecer que vinieron a la Argentina y pude estar ahí y verlos en vivo. De estar a 10 metros del escenario y escucharlos como nunca. Me cumplieron un sueño de 18 años.
Best guitar promo ever!!!! Dig the inside story! Love you all fender guys
He such a well-rounded musician
Picked up a pink one and haven't put it down since. I freakin' love it.
Thank you for always inspiring me, Tom 💛🤘
Couldn't be a guitar more Tom Delonge like this one, the name only seems to have been created by him if you know what I mean.
That man is all about the stars, space, aliens and all that and now he has his own STARcaster, it's just amazing!
Where is the Black Starcaster? I would love to see one in this line-up
Can’t wait to get mine!! 🤘🏽
Getting my white Starcaster friday, will be waiting at the door all day for UPS haha
Congrats. What amp or plug in.?
@@jconner3891 thanks, gonna play thru my mesa boogie mini rectifier
@@surfrocket2819 freaking sweet ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's quite disappointing that @Fender couldn't release even a single left-handed option
Maybeeee learn how to play the right way
@@alwaysforget911I hope many have told you how cool you are. So sick. So sick bro. 👍
@@markdonatelli5742 just trying to suggest a solution to your problem 🤷🏻♂️
Gutted
Agree, it's a disgrace. But at least Harley Benton has love for lefties and will put out a TD Strat copy (ST-182) soon. I will get that and mod it.
Legend.
First time I've seen the larger headstock and thought it belonged on a guitar. I never like it on Strat, but fits PERFECTLY on the Starcaster.
I've always loved blink and tom made my music journey be gin when I was 6 years old and I haven't put the guitar down since I have both his signatures from the past and would love to play a starcaster I remember picking up a squire one years ago in the matt skiba era and thought this would make a awesome tom delonge signature.
I love it!
Tom is fucking good story teller about his journey and life..💯👍
legend
My white one is in transit !! HYPED!!! Great video!
so great
An icon ❤
Just got my shell pink Starcaster from Guitar Center today. Looks awesome.
Seeing all the people I looked up to as a kid getting old is kinda haunting😞
sick icon logo lool
i could watch hours of this
Listen and liked many bands n their songs but blink was my only favourite band...it was part of my life,the school and college days...it was like an awesome dream..blink ws our vibe.
Loved it
The science of music is wild
Awesome video, love this band!
Bought it! Shell Pink baby. Tom FTW
“With a skateboard and my shit guitar
I dreamed all day that they would get me far”
Tom DeLonge.
if there is one person in the world i would like to meet its him. i have so many similar views on things about how i think about life etc. i also want him to sign my 2004 tom signature strat :)
Just ordered mine!
MY GOAT
Ok now I want to go play one.
I learn some of blink songs and AVA by ear their just catchy
My opinion... Tom is blink 182. Mark and Travis are too, but tom is just the soul of it.
Love this dude
How can you not?
The gold one is rad 🤘🏻
Will get mine
Nearing my 30s and I will always say that Tom is my music hero and most significant influence. Idc that I never learned big fancy solos, I always wanted to play and sound like Tom
I’m right there with you. Tom has almost certainly inspired more people to pick up a guitar than many of the “virtuoso” guitarists that have come before
@@zeb_reynolds for me watching those virtuosos and 80s guitar players was like “wow guitar playing is awesome…and difficult.”
Then came Tom’s music and playing and suddenly I could do it too! I branched off other styles as I got older and learned different tunings, but Tom is that seed for me.
Holy shit this is my home city saw four out of the five shows they had here in Melbourne and honestly they were incredible
TOM WAS RIGHT
🤘
🤘🏻
I wish there is a chance that he play his strat again in a live show
3:25 goosebumps
He inspired me to playing guitar and being in band and he was my guitar hero lool
Why does Tom's voice sound deeper at times throughout the video? 😂
Oh sweet. This was filmed in Melbourne, Australia. I’d love to know who filmed this.
all i can think of is his right hand being like ok dont mention the 333, dont mention BCR 335 dont mention gibson
