Tom Still Contends He Never Quit Blink-182 • Page 4

At least Tom has all the internet lawyers on his side

 

I don't know much about YouTube hits on music videos. But the Bored to Death lyric video is sitting at 7.3 million views right now, and the official video is at 890,000. So the talk about 100 million being their floor may be a bit out there. Unless there's something I just don't know (which is certainly possible!).

 

This debate is baffling to me lol

 

Tom is like a little kid who was told to stop running by the pool, and instead started to "walk" very quickly.

 

after neighborhoods, i thought i'd never look forward to a blink album with the same anticipation that i used to. after hearing bored to death my hype level went back to 10, cannot wait for this album!

 

400m views? What? They'll be lucky to get 50m. They ARE a nostalgia band. They always promote their stuff with "this is the best stuff we've done in x years!" and that's never saying much... lol. Plus, whilst some people are excited for Blink with Skiba they've still "alienated" Tom-bots - so even part of their fanbase is gone. Especially as Tom's whiney voice was one of the most iconic parts of Blink.

I know people who don't care for their new music anymore cause, "they're old". 400m is way too much. 50m would be a good realistic goal.

 

snake charmer is the best song on the album

 

I agree. I honestly like the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition more than most of the album.

 

Eh. I like the music but can't stand the melody or the way he sings that song.

 

yea he does some strange stuff, but it's different and refreshing, but i hear your argument and it's valid.

 

These are all people who plaster their name on every project the same way. Its a pretty common thing to do.
