"F**K TOM DELONGE" Mark Hoppus on why blink 182 broke up

Toms like "holy shit stfu mark, im not proud of it either"

[@placebojesus5652]

Mark didn’t shame him publicly on the Box Car Racer thing, nor then in the Angels & Airwaves and +44 thing, then they got together and he pulls the same thing, I don’t blame Mark one bit. Tom is cool but he can be a bit overly selfish/self-involved and just plain loony sometimes. He’s an opioid addict though so I can understand, though that doesn’t explain the crazy conspiracies thing, plus he was into shit like that long before opioids lol. I mean, it’s a fun quirk of his personality and he mostly manifests it in a mostly not too malignant way, in fact it’s often in a more kind of interesting way that could be useful to reaching conspiracy loons or at least guiding them to a less toxic way of being lol, so whatever lol, but the pulling this shit on Mark for like a 3rd or 4th time was kinda fucked lol but again, it’s probably because of his opioid addiction since it make you feel a bit disconnected from normal social psychological impulses mostly unwittingly and even kind of unintentionally, but at a certain point it’s time to call him on it and that’s what Mark did so it’s very fair, plus Tom realizes this as you can see here so he knows what he did wasn’t cool and accepts it so that’s good. It took Mark getting cancer to bring them back together, just like it took Travis’s near death plane crash to bring them back together before. I guess it’s Tom’s turn next, he might OD and maybe barely survive next lol.

They all went on and did more "mature" music. It just all comes down to ego and the difficult process of collaboration. Being in a band is hard, especially when you got multiple singers and lyricists. So many ideas from all parties, with each having their own respective personalities, and you all have to agree on what you want a song to be about and how you want that message to be delivered. And instead of adding to eachother and positively collaborating, it becomes compromise and settling so everyone remains content.

Tom wanted Blink to go in a direction and Mark kicked against it... so Tom went and did Boxcar and AVA. Mark threw a bitch fit like weee weee weee why was I not involved? Grow up. Glad Tom is back coz Skiba was not Blink. However, I would have been happier with Boxcar Racer 2.0. Also, I truly enjoyed +44 and wish Mark had pursued that instead of the pathetic Blink he kept forcing on the world. (He was just chasing money as Blink was a bigger name than +44 unlike Tom who had the confidence to start a new project and let it stand on its own name)

[@corey2232]

That's not what happened at all though... Tom has talked about this too. He was just very immature about how he handled things at this point in his life. After he left the band a 2nd time (which is what they're talking about here), they were just about to record an album. This was *AFTER* Boxcar, this was *AFTER* AVA, this was Tom just ditching them via manager. They had already done several albums "grown up," and none of that had anything to do with what you're talking about. Sounds like you just made a story up in your head & went with it.

[@quavokiidtv1158]

They all had similar but at the same time different goals. They all did that stuff and at the end of all of it came back together because they absolutely mad a giant staple in music and knew no matter what happened that they all can count on eachother regardless of years of being apart and not talking. These guys have been a big inspiration in my life since I could process life going on day by day haha. It makes me happy as young as I am to se these guys come back together and make some badass music.

[@Maryannski]

They all look and sound great, still.. Still crushing on them. 🩷💙💚🖤☠️

[@justacook6858]

Why is the guy from blink one eighty two trying to look like johnny knoxville.

[@ichiban308]

Why is Johnny trying to look like Mark

[@princelysnail1998]

He said he was mistaken for Knoxville not long ago, in Australia or something, and he said nah, and they left😂

[@johnsprague5889]

He's always looked like this

[@D2Mephisto]

So happy Blink is back together :D Life has just felt right since they re-formed.

[@codycevering2733]

F Tom, huh? How did being successful without Tom work out for you, Mark? That's what I thought.

[@xintlzer3354]

Stop being a bitchy dork putting this out of context, he is a succesful musician, like you haven't heard +44 yet? Jeez, stupid bully

[@HotRefuse]

I'm glad this all went down cause that +44 album is awesome!

[@jessemartinez6893]

Mark doesn't realize tom is blink 182

[@testhim7773]

L take asf one of the most balanced bands in terms of impact among members

[@sebastiancarrillo1769]

Well... That's bullshit. More than 30 years of blink teach to all of us that... blink-182 was made by the talent of Mark, Tom and Travis

[@jeffkidd2959]

​@@sebastiancarrillo1769blink 182 was made by Tom Mark and Scott 😂😂 good try tho

[@heythere6983]

Tom has a rock edge and creative side that was cool and he was a great song writer but frankly you see mark is the heart of blink and kept them together aswell as managed to almost get the spirit back without Tom . Frankly the previous two albums without Tom were better sounding and I didn’t even like those much, but they had more of their old school energy. It’s cool to see them happy but as a fan of enema and take off your pants as my favorite blink tone, they were closest with Matt

[@SimonRobeyns]

the albums without Tom were nothing compared to the older albums, what are u even saying@@heythere6983

[@matg2067]

Fuck all that bs life is too short and your music is a art that will be here forever. You guys make great music together let bs go and gives us some more when ur ready

[@theotothefuture]

Lol this is such a beautiful moment. Love these guys!

[@CrystalTrevi]

It’s sad that they had to come to that but Tom needed to part ways to get his shit together it’s just sad that it took a toll on their friendship.. he just needed to grow up and deal with all the shit he was going through and to figure out who he was .. but it’s true that it shouldn’t take a plane crash or cancer to realize that their brotherhood is everything

[@alexmartin3143]

These are your buds, Tom… Don’t leave them hanging… Blink 182 was a huge part of my life as a young adult…

[@MrCloxacillin250mg]

Don't look at me with all these camera LOL !

[@Oneda_Perry]

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️❤️🥰🥰🥰 love you guys big blink -182 fan!!! Use to have your poster on my wall! Btw you are now in my book… hope you don’t want to sue me!!!

[@ssc5987]

these 2 look so good. happy to see

[@donniemarko675]

I’m 30 years old these dude were my childhood (we all wanted to be them) till this day it suck’s that they broke up… imagine all of the material they would’ve done and accomplished

[@omarbahrour]

I love that they’re friends again. I think it all makes sense, time apart was honestly probably really good for Mark as well, but Tom just needed it.

[@bryanburcham1381]

Real feelings and thoughts, between true friends.

[@battlefieldawakening1886]

This whole interview was great.

[@Irishpkrwood]

This shows their friendship is strong Tom hasn't even tried to defend himself, he was investigating UFO stuff( I saw his show) cool show..

[@Monix139]

Siempre me ha gustado Tom. Qué belleza.

[@TheOmegaRiddler]

I do wish they would play +44 live and not little snippets, the full song. Out of everything they've all done, When Your Heart Stops Beating is my favourite song.

[@DeepSaints]

Tom's got a lot of talent 🎉 Blink needs to evolve ❤ Love /\\//\

[@91Definite]

Watching this video is like you reach the end and you back at the beginning where Mark said “Tom Delonge” 😂!

[@gasser5001]

I love when an old blink song comes on randomly. Takes me back to a better time.

[@TaySlayXOXO]

Well this is a very real moment because Mark openly expressed how he felt about all that, in front of Tom, and Tom had to just be like “yup, sorry” and feel awkward. But I feel like it was necessary. I think Tom didn’t want to communicate or didn’t know how to and these kinds of conversations are so crucial if you want to progress your friendship and your collaborative abilities with the band. But I’m happy they worked it out in the end (:

[@TaySlayXOXO]

Very well said. Nobody wants to sit down and say “it’s time to have a tough conversation but let’s navigate through it”

[@roberthaskin1723]

It's cool they can look back and reflect on it

[@danirocket21611]

My friend Lauren and I did the music video for angels and airwaves which is what Tom did in one of his breaks and the song was called secret crowds and it was freaking awesome and he's a really nice guy but he was drunk during the entire recording lol

[@frog-spit-182]

+44 was sick. The skiba blink records were wack. Mark and Travis just milked the fans during that era because the blink name sells.
