What Tom says there at the end is spot on. Success is absolutely subjective, and attaining fame will not bring meaning to your life. Create art for the sake of creation, not to find means to an end.

Can confirm -- Buddy and I are in our 30's and, like many of us, grew up listening to Blink. We took a road trip earlier in the year and some tracks from TOYPAJ and we started talking about albums. He had NO idea that that album name was a double. Cracked. Me. Up.

[@rockoutkids]

I really respect artists that take their time and craft an album that they put a lot of passion into because I feel like for the most part, the fans see that. But the older I get, the more I understand the business side of things.

[@peakadventures_]

I find it amazing this guys mind is blown by "every two years blink did an album "... motorhead did one pretty much every year or every two year since 75-2015!

[@treefiddytwoo]

god damn millennials

[@spoons250]

Motorhead in NO WAY EVER had the promotional scale of Blink. "Every 2 years" means record releases, a year of constant promotion traveling the country and beyond, then a year of constant touring THAT album, then start over. Motorheads dropped albums, did 6 weeks of small press, and a 2 month tour.

Blink has been a part of my life since I was 14 years old... The Mark Tom and Travis Show live album is played in our house at least once a month and our 16 year old son learned how to play drums to blink182 songs. I can't even explain how much this dumb band has meant to me.

We all know that "Take Off..." is a great album, but for blink-182 is an album that is kind of underrated, because they always talk about "Enema Of..." and the "Untitled" and they skip talk about "Take Off...". Don't know why.

[@Oraptor33]

For the few of you who don’t get it, the title is a play on words with “Take off your pants and jack it” rather than jacket. If you still don’t get it then you’re too young to be told. 🤣

Not my business but I always find it funny when Tom talks about wanting to spend time with his family and not be constantly touring and doing things, when he quit blink and immediately started another band that had an album out within a year. It’s just interesting. We will always have 94 to 2005

[@lottie1163]

he recorded the first angels & airwaves albums at his house though, so he did spend more time with his family. angels also didn't travel/tour as much as blink.

[@thomasboax3423]

I love tom but saying he snapped, his family couldn't keep up that blink wanted to start up again after stopping from the last tour he wanted to spend time with his kids so why did he go straight into writing AVA songs recorded their album and was out on tour in 06 would that not of happened the same way and time frame as if he stayed in blink? Just a thought!

[@rjs3590]

I think if I can summarize this accurately… I think Tom was sick of the same crew over the last 12 years. He wanted to be more experimental, like he was with boxcar racer. And riding with AvA allowed him to write on his own terms in his own studio at his own leisure with his family right there in the same house, not having to piss anybody off to not go write songs or tour for the next album… I know that there was a lot of hostility and feelings of betrayal from Tom creating BCR that was never healed. Just my 2 cents

[@DV-zv4ox]

He wanted to write and record the entirety of his "next album" at home, so he could be with his young family. Not to mention the unresolved tension from Box Car Racer that lingered for years.

[@stephensporman8206]

he was also strung out on painkillers and wasn't thinking clearly. remember all the wild shit he said in his interviews before the first AVA record? guy was going through a lot

[@punkgrl325]

AVA is on his own label. He explains it pretty well in his documentary, but when he wants to put out an AVA song, he can get to work on it right away; he couldn’t do that with Blink. He would get the run around and have to go up the chain of execs before even getting the go ahead. Blink revolved more around major tours and promotions, when Tom just wanted to be able to close to his family, and then tour without getting burned out. He also wanted to create and experiment with music - and pretty much any other media project, on his own terms. AVA and To The Stars allows him to do all of that in a way Blink simply doesn’t.

[@punkgrl325]

@@stephensporman8206 I think a lot of that had to do with imposter syndrome and Tom trying to convince himself (and fans) that leaving Blink was the right thing for him to do. He even admitted how scary it all was for him at first. In order to leave Blink, it had to seem like what he was creating was something worthwhile and justified, even if it ended up making him sound kind of pompous and crazy to everyone else as a result.
