idk i just feel like during this time period he was trying to convince himself of how happy he was with ava. hes said in multiple interviews during this time that hes the happiest hes ever been but usually you dont need to say that if ur truly happy. i think he was trying to convince himself ava was gonna be better than blink. i like ava theyre a good band but blink is literally legendary
Tom quit the band to be with his family I really respect that. I couldn’t imagine not being around for the pregnancy, birth, early years of my daughter. He probably felt terrible because he wasn’t around enough for his daughter and when his wife was pregnant with his son the self titled album touring was over with and he didn’t want to jump in to start an album then the next 3 years he would be contracted for the album and then big tours. Plus blink was at the point where taking a year or 2 off would not matter at all they got to the level where they will never fall off so no reason to not take a break your kids are only young once.
so I wonder if he's already ready to see his family less again. Because both blink and AVA are the top of their game...and he has a bunch of things to take care of.I bet the thing is much more stressful now than it was back in 2005,but I guess Tom is much happier now too.
@CasiMirLtd its funny because i posted this right before their single "hearts all gone" came out and its actually got that old blink sound to it. i guess i was wrong haha.
@testnumberone1 There two songwriters in blink mate, don't forget Mark. He still loves fast and dirty, he proved that in +44 and with the new blink single 'Hearts all gone'. There will still be fast stuff. Tom even said in a newer interview that they had not forgotten their punk rock roots. :)
the guitar he is holding is his 3 and a half thousend dollar gibson signature. the epiphone has a darker and different shaped headstock. that is only 499.99
@Lemonshamp00 chill out dude, tom did what was best for him at the time and no one should judge him for that cause anyone in the same situation would do what they want and thats what tom did
i kinda get the same thing as him i go to pop punk but when i listen to angels and airwaves i switch to that but if i listen to pop punk i switch back its weird lol
@p00123456789 well theres a video somewhere where he is doing some moves, just small scenes. think u should look through the blink 182 road home by mtv. furthermore, there is a small vid where he does at least a 180 in a venue...before all is set up.
![Blink 182 Interview on KROQ [PART 1]](/img/n.gif)
thx god he had his guitar.
Been looking for this interview like forever
mee toooooooo
His voice got shaky when he started talking about mark

i think when youre happier you ONLY want to tell everyone. also AVA was so that he could spend more time with family, so he was prob happier
"melodic melodies" Tom DeLonge ladies and gentlemen.
You forgot the untitled Blink album in the intro.
AND cheshire cat AND buddha. whoever made that little intro sucks donkey penis
trueeee
It’s crazy his brother became a cop, and he became pop/punk god

I would die if the cure and blink toured together!!
It's funny U2 has been a major influence in my life no wonder I blink became one of my favorite bands
There's a few clips kicking about, pretty darn good
@bwizzle431 i think it explains the delay on the guitar on the adventure
@CasiMirLtd its funny because i posted this right before their single "hearts all gone" came out and its actually got that old blink sound to it. i guess i was wrong haha.
I know this is from a year ago, but oh man that's an epic response, I love you xD
turn off the noise gate on the microphone

Tom Delonge is my hero!
RJ
x
I really really like when Tom stutters. XD
He painted them all to look even more awesome! :)
the guitar he is holding is his 3 and a half thousend dollar gibson signature. the epiphone has a darker and different shaped headstock. that is only 499.99
Now he is in 2 bands and touring more than ever....brilliant logic
It makes sense 9 years here in the future - because it never made sense and he fucked over his band and fans once again
awesome
he plays a gibson. his line of signature guitars is on epiphone but his guitars are gibsons. But u can find gibson tom delonge guitars overseas.
However, he's one of my guitar hero. Thanx dude, The AVA has their fantastic, but BLINK absolutely owned their LEGENDARY
its weird seeing tom so serious haha
This explains a lot about why he started AvA
He was pretty good I only saw one video of him doing tricks but he was decent, he stopped though because he got injured so much.
@Blakey1997 since it was for guitar world he probably did a guitar lesson too
He should've just stuck with Angels & Airwaves. Rejoining Blink really caused AVA to take a dive. Sincerely hoping 10/31/14 is awesome
Well, atleast he's out of blink now.
@mojoho60 the other movie was start the machine, a documentary about AVA
Tom DeLonge, saying YOLO before it was cool. :D
Y'know
@MusicologyTV He should say "What's my age again?"
he said YOLO lol
There's videos and he is pretty good.
because he can
what ever happen to his brown gibson... i dont really see him use it anymore
He was good I like the part where he says It was famous with in my tribe XD
@thewarriorsrok you should ask that to yourself
@Lemonshamp00 chill out dude, tom did what was best for him at the time and no one should judge him for that cause anyone in the same situation would do what they want and thats what tom did
@ePiCSn1P3Z Thats his gibson, not epiphone
Tom everyone else
I thinks theres a video of him on a skateboard he jumps a ramp something like that dont remember
Did Tom use yolo before everyone else?
i kinda get the same thing as him i go to pop punk but when i listen to angels and airwaves i switch to that but if i listen to pop punk i switch back its weird lol
@DNWGretsch182 Just honesty and he's afraid on showing it
found it :)
@p00123456789 well theres a video somewhere where he is doing some moves, just small scenes. think u should look through the blink 182 road home by mtv. furthermore, there is a small vid where he does at least a 180 in a venue...before all is set up.
Tom sweaty here?
@thewarriorsrok you are here because of my mad? I don't think thats proper english.
you still came here to see tom delonge dont deny it.
@p00123456789 Check out the making of Rock Show, he does a few cool tricks
yolo
He said yolo before it was cool. -hipster glasses-
i wonder how good he was a skating
@thewarriorsrok lol bonjovi , do you have a mullet?
Why is he holding a plugged in guitar?
@Lemonshamp00 I don't think you know what you're talking about at all
Is he with Blink in this video or is this straight after the break up?
fuck. now i know theyre never gonna go back to playing punk.
When was this interview?

@thewarriorsrok haha u still didnt reply to my question
why you watching this?
His voice isnt as deep as it is nowadays
Mainstream*

Warrant??? lol ok
You like Bon Jovi? What are you a 40 year old woman?
Since when is yolo cool?
Overpriced junk that everybody loves and many other musicians have a copy of
Tom stop being such a philosophical adult... grow back down to ur teen years
You're the one who seems mad. You have nothing better to do than to post about much you hate this guy.. You're mad about something...
