Whose here now that he’s back lol

Blink-182 isn't Blink-182 without Tom.. It sucks he isn't a part of it anymore but you know I'm extremely grateful for all the music they gave us when he was. Gotta be grateful for what we have.

It sucks that Tom is gone

I remember feeling mad at Tom when he left. I never gave him the light of day to hear his side of the story and never gave Angels and Airwaves a chance because I loved Blink 182 so much and I didn't want it to ever end. it took me around 12 years to finally give Angels and Airwaves a listen and warm up to Tom and respect his decision for leaving. It sucks that it went down like this, it really does. It's just like everybody else says though, be thankful for the time they existed and that special feeling we all get when we hear Blink 182 play in our cars or in our headphones. It's my favorite when I hear them on somebody else's playlist or the radio unexpectedly and just how fast my mood changes and how better my day gets for those 3 and a half minutes. I know I'm not the only one.

People give Tom a lot of shit. He makes a lot of sense when you actually listen to him.

I never got a chance to see Blink when I was young. But this year, I had the lucky experience to see Blink 182 at Weekend 2 Coachella on the mainstage. To see a band who I have followed since I was a kid, I finally got a chance to see the band that influenced my childhood.

I love this guy, when he's on stage he acts like a 16 year old and makes sex jokes but here when it's time to be mature he's mature

I lost 3 of my best friends I grew up with at the same time because I was growing and seeing things differently. It’s never been the same but I am free. I hear you mate.

I fucking appreciate mark and travis but man, tom was the real deal in blink182 :( maybe not the best of the best of the world but he was definitely something unique.

wow, that is sad, this is the first time ive ever seen tom so serious.

blink182 isn't the same without Tom..

Safe to say "I Miss You"

I wonder what those "next records" could have been. I feel like they would have sounded better coming from blink

Good for you tom, putting you're family first should always be number one on your to do list!!!

I was wrong about Tom. I assumed he was all ego. This story was the missing piece for me and I, now, understand his view.

Blink will never be the same without tom

Incredible that the same feeling inspired him for "Stay together for the kids" it s the same that s taking him off from this great band. Sorry my english, i hope the point was clear.

the problem was the 50 side projects not the family time

I saw blink live this year and all I could imagine when they where playing I miss you was tom singing his part and it was great but it's not the same

i like that though he has certain feelings towards his prior bandmates he never outright talks bad about them. it's a temptation that many people fall prey too. i also like the way he speaks about it in general-the way his words flow and how his eye movements show he's trying to articulate his feelings best as possible really seal the deal for my respect for him. work and life balance is already hard as it is but how can you deny your family? you brought a little person into the world and how can you just leave them behind? i wouldn't be able to, ever

Tom was the voice of blink 182.... hearing his vocals, u knew what band it was and could already picture a music video for the song. His sound and personality can never be duplicated and blink really left a mark in that punk rock genre.... one group that I wished would have never gotten old. So sad seeing tom sing the songs of 2000

Blink 182 eat a snickers, you're not the Same when you're hungry

Fast forward a couple years later and now Tom is back Thanks for everything Matt skiba

I will always love Blink 182. It's not Blink 182 without Tom!!!! Patch it up and get back together. Please!!!!!

His accent almost sounds canadian. When he calms down he makes it classic SoCal.

Back in 2011 I got to see Blink 182 live in Charlotte NC. They had a thing called “Boomer Loves B00-b-ies” where if you donated a certain amount of money to breast cancer awareness you could do a meet and greet with Tom! Me and a friend got to do it and Tom was super nice but you could tell he was a tad introverted and preferred one on one conversations and not to be swamped. We got a cool poster that he signed for us too. BUT something about the show felt strange. It just didn’t seem like their hearts were in it. They barely interacted on stage. I wasn’t surprised when the band broke up again soon after. Now for the good news: these new songs are so killer. Not only that but it looks like they are genuinely having fun again and enjoying being together. And I truly think the quality is showing in the music. This album will have 17 songs! And every one they’ve put out so far has been great. I’m glad to see them back and passionate about making music again.

big thumbs up for having Sigur Ros- Untitled 8 in the background

tom just wanna say....You have always been my inspiration......And I respect all your choices bud...You are a legend and a gr8 person.....Family comes first ALWAYS>>>>>Respect BUD

You were one of the best of that band. You chose the best path for you. Keep doing you. You'll always be remembered by me. Keep it going

Crazy to think this vid was posted before blink got back together, and Tom left again.

I watch this so many times throughout each month and every time it's sad 😔

you can tell he was sad blink ended and he didnt want to quit

It’s sad to think they were never able to make that album with all that material Tom had. I feel like it would’ve been so awesome.

Glad you're back Tom!

I am proud of Tom because he has to go thru all of his family stuff and it is sad to not go home Tom u were my favourite 🤘🏻😉

Miss him so much but I respect his decision, his family needed him....that's a good guy right there!

Imagine if Tom didn’t leave that first time and they wrote a record right after the self-titled album. Right off the peak of their careers. Damn I wish I lived in the alternate dimension where that got to happen.

You can see how hurt he is. It’s sad man.

I've always disliked Tom in the later years but I love him so much for this

LOL at the sigur ros song in the background

This whole situation about their break up seems really weird. Especially when it comes to BCR. Tom said multiple times that his project raised tensions between him and Mark due to Mark feeling betrayed, because he was 'the one left out, the odd man' as he was quoted saying. Which, in some ways, is quite understandable as BCR turned out to be very success and hyped at the time. Apparently they kind of overshadowed their main band and what if they would be continue making music and becoming more demanded and successful than Blink? So I kinda see where Mark was coming from, but I still find it quite interesting that Travis was never accused by Mark for being in BCR as well. So what's Marks opinion on that anyway? Travis never gave any comments about that situation neither, at least none that I know of. For Travis it kinda seems like a win-win situation anyway - He played in Blink, with BCR, with +44... It seems both singers knew what Travis brought to the table and none of them wanted him to leave that easily. Tom can be quite a nutcase too and is really weird at times, but I have a sense that he is not that much to blame for their original break up. He wanted to progress with the band, give them a more mature sound and trying to go in different directions. Which apparently is not in Marks or Travis interest that much. It kinda makes me wonder how they had been able to pull of such a great album as their self titled in the first place!? (Jerry Finn, anyone?) Judging from the records Mark and Travis made without Tom, it is really obvious that they want to stick to their pop-punky directions, while Tom is more curious about trying different things. BCR is proof of that, so are the more experimental tracks on ST, and starting from scratch with AVA. Though he kind of stuck with the AVA sound since their debut and might has tried too hard complementing it into the later Blink recordings. So I give you that. There's definitely a reason why you would have another band for another sound or direction. +44 and California didn't do that much for me for a number of reasons. There's some good ideas on them, but overall I think they are far away from reaching their full potential. But there's hope judging from some deluxe tracks off California. Overall I find Tom's material to have much more substance, though.

When Travis Barker confirms a Blink 182 album in 2016 👀👌🏽

My god has it really been 15 years since angels and airwaves? I’m old

WOOOOOOOOOOO THERE BACK, cant wait for their new album

It's hilarious how many people think this is about Tom being kicked out in 2015, when the video clearly says it's from the AVA documentary, and was uploaded in 2008.

I’ll miss u Tom .... u were my childhood

Here in 2024 after seeing them back together live!

I find it really hard to believe that he was given an ultimatum between the band and his family. There's got to be more to this story.

It's obvious Box Car made Mark extremely jealous and feeling left out. It was over after that

Tom ! We miss u 4 ever! ur a part of Blink 182 heart !

I feel bad that Tom left but clearly he has grown up ...as an artist it’s important to be honest with yourself

he's got a point tbf, when you hitting the 30's and got a family that waiting for you it a big priority in life, you've achieved something in music for a long time and then it does start to break down knowing that you're not 16 years old anymore, it a shame we can't go back to the late 90's and early 00's.

travis puts the best effort in for all the albums

i still have my rabbit 182 patch from 1997

Watching this in gym and blink 182 just came on. Legends.

he sounded so sad about this i'm tearing up

Give it a rest guys, Tom is happy where he is.

I enjoyed cheshire cat and dude ranch (and even Buddah) when I was 16 at college, Tom's evolution has been awesome I love angels and airwaves now.

Matt will never be able to beat how amazing Tom was ♥♥

Even when Tom came back it wasn't the same... will never get the old blink back.

The bulk of the break up can be summed up as this: "Creative Differences. Tom wanted to expand and be more in control of what he wanted to do and make, but Mark and Travis didn't want that.

I didn't look at the upload date and I totally thought it was about the 2015 one

They’re back and still friggin rock woohoo!!

Genuinely crying my eyes out at this

Even though im a 22 year old guy...i wanna give Tom a hug. Life made him choose family or the band. Family always but you can see the depression in his eyes..

i wanna see the rest of this vid.. aw man!!

I got into blink-182 when I was in the 7th grade (2003) & it wasn’t long after that they broke up…I was devastated and wanted more from the band! Not Now was the last real single I feel like we got from them. I gave A&A & +44 a shot back then and the listening experience was alright, but it just wasn’t the same…then finally in 2012 with Neighborhoods it felt like a forced reunion. Fast forward to 2023 and I saw them live and they’re back stronger than ever! Gah how 15 years flies by.

the soundtrack... sigur ros! fantastic

44 dislikes +44 illuminati confirmed

He came back 😁

wow im just nonstop crying at this

it too bad that tom is gone i miss him

thats so sad tom was olways my favirot it he really should go back

omg the start of this dvd is sad as fuck wen it talks about blink and says ur fans will miss u i felt like fuckin crying

This breaks my heart watching this video. I mean I'm looking back and seeing this stuff that toms saying about blink and it hurts. It's even weirder though how they are together again even though I'm so happy because of it but I hate when Tom speaks about blink after everything went wrong...

Glad they're back 🙂

Sigur Rós was playing in the back ground during the interview. Best band ever!

:( i'm actually crying right now

Yes, even mark said in an interview; when listening to the 1st ava record he recognised some blink ideas

I hope this ages well

They're back :)

i love tom and miss him in blink. but the man is a fucking musical genius and i love everything he's done

This video made me cry :-/

thank uuuuu :)

Trying to have a family and keep a band going as big as that is very difficult and probably something we will never understand

imagine "The Adventure" on a blink record

i love him

Blink 182 ❤️ Always

I'm just happy they got back together.

♥️love you tom you are beautiful

i love him so much

Family first Tom, you only live once. Enjoy your life and wealth!

Where is this clip taken from? I'd like to watch the full thing

😭😭😭😭 miss you tom

I agree, I can understand where he was coming from now and why he felt he had to leave blink. I didnt think mark had a problem with Boxcar racer because he did the elevator track with tom. I think Mark and Travis should watch this.

It`s really sad that anybody could not silent their phone when doing interview with Tom..

I personally love ALL the AVA song's!! but that is because i can relate to all those songs and i get the message Tom has put out in his songs everytime... and i know Tom will be able to write better songs then those current.. because.. hes Tom DeLonge

i miss tom :(

I used to always blame the break up on Tom, now I see it differently, I see how much it hurt Tom. You can't tell a guy to leave his family behind. It's... It's just not right...

Boxcar Racer was 2 months???? STFD I love that Album!
