Tom DeLonge talks about Travis Barker's Plane Crash (before blink reunion)

[mangafigur]

I love that he is listening to Amy Winehouse!

[megablade12345]

what animosities?

[NOrWAYYo]

@TheElephant79 well yeah. i mean he said in the video it's not all about him and stuff so yeah...

[NOrWAYYo]

Tom's so genuine and awesome. His personality is just terrific.

[TheElephant79]

@NOrWAYYo You know just after seeing this ? LOL !

[kaylong11]

Travis is better than Scott Raynor 100 tyms if you can see the beats when sscot was there it was lame (but still sound good) but travis barkers great

[JohnnyNny94]

He's right. Tom is such a great friend.

[MykeMetyll]

No Tom, it's Travis who doesn't matter. You and Mark are what matters!

[pendejodido]

@MykeMetyll Shut the fuck up asshole! Without Travis there's no Blink 182 and other important stuff such as his family, friends and fans, fuckface!

[MykeMetyll]

@pendejodido

No blink without Travis? Are you forgetting Scott, their real drummer?

[pendejodido]

@MykeMetyll Mark and Tom regard Travis as the Real Drummer... Watch Urethra Chronicles 2. I bet that we all Blink 182 fans regard Travis as the real drummer as well :D

[MykeMetyll]

@pendejodido

Not my friends and I, or the community at PunkNews. We all agree that Dude Ranch was their peak.

[pendejodido]

@MykeMetyll go fuck yourself! It's said that All the Small Things is Blink 182's signature song. Enema Of The State, with Travis Barker! Fuck you.

[MykeMetyll]

@pendejodido

No thanks. I'll consider their signature M+M's. Enema sucked anyway.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll if you dont like enema, you dont like blink. 

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

Thank you for telling me how I feel about my favorite band, the band that taught me how to sing, play guitar and bass, love music and all the work with it. You're right. I must not like them because they have better albums than the one that made little girls their fans.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll enema is blink. it is generally what they sound like. they no longer sound like they do on cheshire cat. sorry. and btw, im a 14 year old male, and if little girls are listening to blink, they shouldnt be unless it's the clean version of the song. but if you're one of those hipster queers who only like bands that have little to no fans of which are all male bc u like sausage fest type concerts, that's fine. i wont judge you.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

14 is exactly the problem. And nice homophobia there.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll oh so you do like sausage fests? gotcha. idont take offense to being "homophobic" and im not scared of them so i dont see the phobia part as correct, but as far as 14 being the problem, who do you think blink aims their music at? obviously teenagers. but 14 is the problem. you're so right.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

Not sure where you get sausage fests from Dude Ranch, but I did mean latent homosexuality, not homophobia. Do mommy and daddy know that you're using their computer?

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll considering you said m+m's which wasnt on dude ranch, how should i know you were talking about dude ranch? and plus i was saying the sausage fest thing considering you said you dont like girls who like blink apparently. and when i say 14, i mean 14 years old, as in a freshman in high school. so, to answer your question, yeah, they know.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

Girls in punk is awesome. 14 and under is not.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll funny. thats not what you said a few comments ago. and blink is aimed at teenagers.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

Brody, Souxsie, the Bombpops, Joan Jett...women in punk, but not little girls.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll did i ask who were women in punk that werent little girls? no. you're changing the subject. just shut up. theres nothing wrong with being 4, 14, or 40. if you like blink, you like blink. age is just a number. doesnt matter how old someone is. just like i dont give half a shit how old you are, i just know you're a trolling bastard.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband

I'm not trolling. It's an honest opinion that little kids like you shouldn't listen to blink, and Travis Barker is a loser who if I ever met, would ask him to sign my copies of Dude Ranch, Uranus EP, and all the Aquabats! CDs he didn't play on.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll travis has nothing to do with our discussion. stop bringing up useless info. and if i shouldnt listen to blink, who should? is their a law saying i cant listen to whatever the fuck i want to listen to? up yours you fucking nimrod. your opinions suck asshole. shut the hell up.

[MykeMetyll]

@nilionareband tell it to someone who cares, kiddo.

[nilionareband]

@MykeMetyll obviously you do since u keep answering. and how old are you then? obviously not old enough to get a life and a job to occupy ur time rather than youtube comments and posting videos you didnt make. "kiddo".

[VANStoDC]

@MykeMetyll bro if you think "little kids" are 14 year olds then 8 and 9 year olds must be toddlers! and if you think "little kids" shouldn't listen to blink-182 then you must not support blink-182's music. To keep blink-182 alive we need to introduce it to the younger generation! and i bet Mark, Tom and Travis would agree with me. and if they didn't why would Mark let his son jack who is 9 years old and travis let his son who is 8 years old be in the music video for up all night?

[VANStoDC]

@MykeMetyll and Travis Barker is the drummer for blink-182 i don't care what you and your friends think! there is no doubt about it!! don't get me wrong Scott was amazing drummer when he played for blink but obviously Travis has something he doesn't and Scott was replaced by Travis. Travis isn't replaceable.

[MykeMetyll]

@VANStoDC

Sure he is. He's run-of-the-mill.

[VANStoDC]

@MykeMetyll okay then tell me what Scott has that Travis doesn't?

bro Travis was the missing link for blink-182. Mark and Tom even said it. plus if Scott was soo great i think they would have brought him back into blink-182 or he would be in a band we all would know about!

[MykeMetyll]

@VANStoDC

He has speed and a punk ethic, which is why he's in band's you DON'T know about. He doesn't need mainstream validation.

[VANStoDC]

@MykeMetyll bro why did you even watch this video if you don't even like Travis ? bro if Scott was soo good why didn't they ask him to rejoin and kick Travis to the curb?

[MykeMetyll]

@VANStoDC

Because Travis fit the boy band image they wanted. Scott was a punk drummer, Travis is a generic rock drummer. Don't call me "bro". I'm no frat boy.

[VANStoDC]

@MykeMetyll Well if Travis fit the boy band image he would act more like tom and mark but he doesn't Sott fitted the image better i believe. and if i call you "bro" that doesn't make you a frat boy and it doesn't make me a frat boy either its just a word i use and travis isn't just a "generic rock drummer" he's a little more than that cause he has worked in more than one genre of music.

[guitar19951]

@MykeMetyll just stop now dude, scott wrote shitty tracks in my opinion and blink never became a "boy band" as you could say, mark specifially said "we just want to do whats best for our band" and thats what they did, have fun living in the past and hating everything anyone else likes stupid cunt

[MykeMetyll]

@guitar19951

It is fun here in the past! I just invested in Enron!

[MykeMetyll]

@guitar19951

And you know what? "Shitty" drum beats are necessary for punk rock.

[RegurgitatedSluts]

@guitar19951 Scott wrote shitty tracks? Does 'Dude Ranch' ring a bell?

[Lasports101]

@RegurgitatedSluts so ur calling dammit & josie a shitty tracks? what kind of blink fan are u dude ranch probably there greatest album!! one of my favorites

[DrummerNathan182]

@pendejodido dude, Travis nearly died :/

[58Walmart]

someone ad to dislike it because hes an asshole i mean come on show some respect for the GREATIST DRUMMER EVER

[MykeMetyll]

@58Walmart

Scott Raynor?

[WalkerGuitarist492]

Get iloverocknroll47's comment to 182 likes! TEAM EFFORT YEAH!

[mz16]

@KresauntKid is he single ;D

[TysonIsKetchy]

without travis, no blink back <3

[rocketboy375]

thank god they got back together

[pup494]

That's sweet :)

[KresauntKid]

Tom looks almost exactly like my uncle, and his name is Tom too...

[punkalways182]

Aww!! very sweet.

[MangoSmoothie16]

Was Tom mad at some point?

[MissNothing09]

Very mature Tom.

[uncut06]

He's listening to Amy Winehouse :(

[nando88]

@uncut06 amy crackhouse

[IAmScourge1]

@uncut06 No... it's Amy Bitchhouse

[jens3737]

@uncut06 She's dead xD

[guanjon]

@jens3737 She's rotting in hell xD

[teenager17]

Does anyone know if Tom released this video before or after Mark's blog posting in November 2008 (officially telling everyone that he and Travis were communicating with Tom again)? I don't have modlife and this is the first time I've seen this video. This proves that Tom is a great guy!

[noahfexer]

AMY WINEHOUSE!

[LeGoMyGrEgO418]

LOL Toms saying how this isnt about him and one of the top comments only talks about his hair

[guidinhamatos182]

@LeGoMyGrEgO418 hey it's not my fault, i just shared a little tinny thing ;-D

[punchline911]

tom, youre so humble and caring,

i want a friend like thta,

youre an amazing person tomas,

stay that way man,

stay that way forever <3

[lovelike182rockets]

This is proof of what a good person he is. I have to say, I respect the fuck out of this too. It's even more meaningful that he did this on his own, not in front of cameras and interviewers.

[alczyn182]

@lovelike182rockets yeah dude. He's a really respectable guy. kids today should have more role models like this person right here.

[lovelike182rockets]

@alczyn182 That's why he's mine. This just justifies it even further. I'm meeting him in Virginia Beach on Sunday and I respect him even more now, so much more. It wouldn't have meant as much to me if a camera crew from a news station asked him this, honestly.

[MegaNicholas14]

I really respect Tom for this. He's a great friend.

[mrSnipeZA1ot]

hes put on weight

[turnstylezdrumming]

@NeonNightsGirl oh shit it was haha

[turnstylezdrumming]

billie holiday in the background. nice

[AndreII182II]

Tom's eyebrows.. Hmm

[ThingsIShouldDo]

@AndreII182II The half shaven ones?

[AndreII182II]

@ThingsIShouldDo yes.

[ThingsIShouldDo]

@AndreII182II Bet his daughter did that...

[camdash]

ah nice to see the real tom :)

[theFlowerPrince343]

@camdash i know, some of my favorite moments from tom is wen hes not hiding behind peepee jokes

[kevindexcard]

[iloverocknroll47]

[do4mbumgdwqw]

[guidinhamatos182]

[superchanneljim]

@guidinhamatos182 really? what a dumbass talking about hair when he's talking about something important. Moron.

[guidinhamatos182]

@superchanneljim hey, everyone loves Tom and EVERYBODY who saw the video understood his word, and i just reffer his hair his cutte on this video, IF YOU DON'T LIKE MY COMENT THE ONLY I HAVE TO SAY IS GO FUCK YOURSELF! AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE. moron is your mother -.-
