Tom Delonge Disses Blink 182

The same guy who has made a lot of money from his former band, Blink 182, has this to say,

“I do not want to be in a bullshit pop band with some bullshit pop songs while you drive your f**king bullshit car and sing along to it like you’re some 14 year-old girl.”

I guess it’s time for Tom to return his BMW, huh?

    i wonder what demographic he’s trying to hit with angels and airwaves?

  4. On 11/3/06 10:17 AM, andy said:

    The more mature “emo” audience or something. Once pop punk kids grow up, they listen to A&A lolz!(I stole Jay’s line!)

    That’s my line?

    As I’m growing up and maturing, I’m finding myself liking Blink 182 more and more for the sheer fun of the music.

  9. On 11/3/06 11:20 AM, Jay said:

    I willfully listen to Blink-182 and like it. Why would it matter to me, then, if somewhere a 14-year old chick is doing the same thing?

  10. On 11/3/06 12:03 PM, andy said:

    yeah you know, the whole LOLZ!!11

    and 14 year olds reject the new found maturity of angels and airwaves.

    ok ok andy LOLZ i forogt ZOMG

    “All the pop punk bands, sound alike, I can’t stand.
    They all such just like Blink 182… MXPX greenday, too!”
    ~ Seth W. parody of “All the small things” (I think that’s the name of it)

    you know, in this world of emo and “mature sounding” bands, i find it very refreshing to hear some good old pop-punk

  15. On 11/3/06 2:18 PM, matt 666 said:

    All blink 182 and new punk suck u guys r losers

  16. On 11/3/06 2:34 PM, wazo said:

    yes matt, and a7x is gods gift to man, we know (insert sarcasm here)

  17. On 11/3/06 2:47 PM, sammy 777 (hehe) said:

    Seth, are you making fun of MxPx?

  18. On 11/3/06 2:57 PM, Jay said:

    We may be losers, but we write way better declarative sentences than you do.

  19. On 11/3/06 3:39 PM, smick said:

    yessir, i’d like to trade in my Ford P.O.S. for this here f**king bullshit car. better mileage.

  20. On 11/3/06 5:54 PM, Seth Werkheiser said:

    Yea, I was in fact making fun of MXPX, Blink 182, Green Day, and the countless pop-punk bands I played shows with on a monthly basis.

  21. On 11/3/06 6:26 PM, buddy said:

    he made fun of me too…to my face…

  22. On 11/3/06 6:34 PM, dake said:

    jay wins this battle simply for proper use of “declarative sentences.”

  23. On 11/3/06 7:04 PM, Pam said:

    Is this a case of biting the hand that feeds you? Tom wouldn’t be where he is today, nor would anyone listen to the shitty band he’s in now, if it weren’t for Blink 182 and those 14 year old girls.

  24. On 11/3/06 7:04 PM, Dan Diemer said:

    how dare you say that All sucks. grrr.

  25. On 11/3/06 7:12 PM, Pam said:

    I didn’t say they sucked, I said they were shitty…that’s far worse.

  26. On 11/3/06 8:10 PM, dake said:

    pam’s right. for every 1 great pop tune like “she’s my ex” or “million bux” all wrote they did like a dozen crap-filled tunes like “hot rod linkin” “copping zs” and “uncle critic” that are simply terrible.

  27. On 11/3/06 11:25 PM, Seth Werkheiser said:

    thats right, Buddy. Know your role, shut your hole! Hahaha…

    ahhh, thems was the days. Playing with MRT.

  28. On 11/4/06 1:56 AM, Dan Diemer said:

    didn’t even get my joke about All

  29. On 11/4/06 4:36 AM, Tim O. said:

    yeah, there’s really no reason for Tom to be bitter about Blink 182, who were a catchy and highly influential band, even if 14 year olds liked them. i’m not a huge fan, but i can dig some of their stuff. Tom certainly seemed to enjoy it while it lasted, for the most part

  30. On 11/4/06 10:19 AM, matulich said:

    all those 14 year old girls are now 23…..my pop punk band +44 can beat up your emo band angels and hatewaves….and no one cares, well maybe the 14 year old girls

    my grindcore bands owns!

  32. On 11/5/06 1:38 PM, nate said:

    I like pop punk and I always will.

  33. On 11/6/06 2:29 PM, wazo said:

    hear hear!!!

  34. On 11/6/06 7:32 PM, dake said:

    oh. now i get it. sadly, blink was better, if only because it was more consistent than all.

  35. On 11/7/06 12:45 PM, Rob said:

    Y’know, given that Blink’s sense of humor was always steeped in irony, the very fact that he’s making these statements may well start the chain reaction that leads to the end of the world. Surely this much meta-irony will cause the universe to collapse on itself.

  36. On 11/17/06 6:56 AM, Will said:

    Tom is a f****ing joke, his band is talentless and un-educated. I seen them live as a supporting act for Foo Fighters in Hyde Park and i have to say they were worse than terrible.

    Tom as a musician is poor, Tom as a political spokesman/activist is not gonna happen with the size of his brain.

    AVA sucks, Blink 182 was my gateway into rock music. He should respect the fans of Blink 182!

    emo wannabee cock

    DUDE RANCH forever.

    when scott was in the band, they were the best.

    travis is a good drummer but it changed when he joined :/

    tom is nothing without travis and mark blink 182 made him now hes just another has-been who still has his pretty face… not saying his band is at all bad they have some good music but he has to remember what made him. saying that about the band disrespected himself and he should be embarressed for saying that.

    didnt mean to post twice sorry

    Niiiice. I now dislike Tom even more after hearing that. This just further justifies that he is a pompous douchebag prick who has his head in the clouds. He is NOTHING without Travis and Mark. Angels and Airwaves only “Caught On” as he put it in a separate interview, because he is the former singer/guitarist of what is possibly the biggest pop punk band existing, besides Green Day.

    I know more boys then girls that liked/still like Blink, and a lot of them were/currently are over the age of 17.

    Tom created blink, therefore he can say whatever the hell he wants! His family made him change to create AVA plus he still has his old school humor.. So you can shut up about this now, thanks.
