Tom Delonge Grows Up

2006-11-01 by Dave de Sylvia EMERITUS | 20 Comments
Angels & Airwaves frontman Tom Delonge has taken another veiled stab at his former band Blink-182.

Not content with alienating himself from his former best friends and humanity, Tom has now declared war on pop, announcing that he doesn't want to be in some "bullshit pop-band [...] playing for 14 year old girls."

He's beginning to remind me of Axl Rose.

at least blink-182 was an honest band, no matter how many dumb teenybopper fans they had. AVA is bullshit because they're ruining their credibility entirely on their own merit and not by their fans.

And Tom Delong continues on his streak of publically making an ass out of himself.

He now closes in on Tom Cruise and Bill O'reilly in that race.

the worst part of all this is that in his case, he is generally considered way cooler back when he made penis jokes and fart noises.

The tragic thing is that he's completely alienating himself from everything that made him rich and famous.
"And if you are a 14-year-old girl and you came to this concert, thank you."
What kind of backhanded compliment is that?

Blink > A&A

At least Blink was funny and has a few good songs...

Blink 182 rocked/s. AVA sucks. Tom Ledonge is a fag. Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus are awesome and are better off without Tom. Enough said.

I think it's really sad what success and fame can do to a guy... blinks shit was hardly ever serious and was just fun tolisten to, like music should be (enjoyable). imo, AVA sounds forced, like he's trying to squeeze out some creativity and its just not coming.

Ok, like tom is creatively constipated, and hes pushing and pushing but all hes doing is farting.

Peace out.

As much as I thought Tom DeLonge was my idol 5 years ago with Blink... Here he is acting like AVA is the most epic inspired thing ever. I thought it was just an excuse for some slowpaced whiny music.

BTW: Whats up with the way he sits?! Cross-legs is the female way to go!

tom delonge is the biggest ass that ever came out of the music industry. ava makes me want to bash my head in with a baseball bat and then eat the pieces of my brain. thats the only way i can describe my irrational hatred of ava.
