I'm ready to bite my tongue if he ends up being true about a lot of the things he said over the past years.
Angels and Airwaves are going to be the biggest band in the world and a rock and roll revolution. "I am currently in Blink 182"
Dude is definitely a bit out there and he could of handled the whole Blink break up(s) better. That said I'm a firm believer in life beyond Earth. Respect to him for following his passions when he could be making major $$ doing other things.
I want him back in blink, but i do like that he's doing what he wants to be doing in life instead of wasting his years. This article+the Ernie Ball documentary really do make him look a lot better in my eyes. Hell, after the doc i was on his side over mark and Travis.
What's sad to me is that he gets this award regardless of whether or not he actually deserved it. I'm not saying he didn't, but I'm saying that whoever the hell this organization is gets a lot more out of using Tom as a promotion than he gets out of it. Hence why he doesn't even bother showing up to win an award.
