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.
Man its really awesome seeing this guy become so mature and understand whats better for him in the long run of things. He speaks words of wisdom, thanks Tom
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.
Oh thank God there's somebody else just as stupid as me, lol. God knows how much i've listened to this album and I was here reading the title like........ what?....... OHHHHHH. What a clown :)
@@TC-lk2ev i just realized NOW in my 30's... I can't believe how dumb I feel. I suppose its because as a kid i was too naive and don't think I learned about masturbation until years later.. and always associated the jacket with the physical jacket icon on the cd.
I remember getting to meet Mark, Tom and Travis at the Virgin Mega Store in San Francisco for a meet and greet for the release of Take Off Your Pants And Jacket. Still have my signed copy.
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.
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!
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.
I remembering, back in the day when TOYPAJ was released, in France 🇫🇷, the radio spot was record by French singer Rika Zaraï who is the singer of a popular song named « sans chemise, sans pantalon » and So, if You translate this song title, it’s like the same title of the Blink album ! So it was a cool and funny thing...
If and when Tom rejoins Blink their next album that comes out just has to be titled "The Diarrhea of Anne Frank". That'd be gloriously beautiful classic Blink style.
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.
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
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.
I've been listening to blink since I could produce a thought, had every album on an ipod, heard that album more times than I can count andI am really good at catching innuendos, but I am just now getting that album name I feel dumb asf 😭😭
I remember picking up the album at K-Mart with my dad as a kid and saying to my dad that the title of this album is dumb why would they name their album that. I'm sure my dad got it but I definitely didn't until my early 20's 😆
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!
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
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.
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
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.
@@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.
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. 🤣
Holy mother of god.....i have been a blink fan since Iwas 12 and 37 now. Take off your pants was and is my favorite album and....Jesus Christ i JUST NOW got it cuz I actually thought about the name for the first time like Tom was saying.....WOW. i feel dumb as fuck HAHA

True af
I loved everything thing he said, especially the part about True success and if Your Art is true and means something to you,it'll find it's way.
Love your interviews with Tom. Because you guys are such good friends
Me to. I have to stop by my dr office to pick up some orders so I'll be leaving bountiful
Tom said “toime” and I can rest well now
Vasectomy vasectoyou is hilarious
The Diarrhea of Anne Frank is pretty dope too
Man its really awesome seeing this guy become so mature and understand whats better for him in the long run of things. He speaks words of wisdom, thanks Tom
Great insights from Tom. The title suggests that it would be a silly interview but Tom delivers seriously on the topic of art and success.
That last sentence is 🤯

I realised it like 10 years after i bought it on CD lmao.

Good on you Tom to take a break to be with your family. Never knew that side. Also, asthenia is my favorite song of all time. Real gospel. Much love
"this room is full of rehearsal I'm sick of the boundaries I miss you so mouuch"
He’s very articulate and there is a lot of meaning in what he says
Which is weird seeing how he used to act back during the blink peak
@@kenan1684 He's grown up
God I miss Tom. Love skiba, alkaline trio is one of my favs but damn
Tom isback!!!
I love how proud he was when The Diarrhea of Anne Frank was mentiond. "That was one of them" that little smirk he started to grow 😂

Me becoming the Leonardo DiCpario meme at 2:14 when Tom says "time".
Hahaha “toime”
Really cool insight from Tom about that time
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!
god damn millennials

@@endlessforestmedia we're missing the biggest thing of all, these musicians used more than 3 chords too ,unlike blink 182 🤣
There is some serious gold in those alternative titles.
“Also, at that toime”
2:13 "but also at that TYEM"
The classic TOIME/TOYME.
It's all success if it's what you need, do what you like and do it honestly.
Dude Ranch, Enema, Take Off (The Holy Trinity of blink-182)
Love dude ranch but it really was Enema, TOYPAJ, and Untitled
@@isthatchrisk Untitled is where they really started changing their sound and I wasn’t vibing with it. I know a lot of people liked it though.

My childhood right here. I miss these days
everything about Tom I click
Just got it right now. Awesome.
Love this so much! So right about what success means! 🙌♥️✨
To be fair Tom. It took me 16 years to get “Take off Your Pants and Jacket”
I've listened to this album when it released. I also have the physical copy. I never knew the title had a meaning behind it 🤣

Profound final sentence from Tom 👏🏼
Everything Tom creates is a masterpiece!
absolutely not
Almost none of it is good, but the good stuff is awesome
I remember the moment I finally got it
If and when Tom rejoins Blink their next album that comes out just has to be titled "The Diarrhea of Anne Frank". That'd be gloriously beautiful classic Blink style.
I have no idea how I remembered that title on the spot! Thanks for watching the show!
There is a possibility that this might happen now!!! 🤔
Wow. I literally just now got Take Off Your Pants and Jacket.
I still.dont get it..

Lol, me too. Took 15 years

My world has changed.
Dude ranch, enema of the state, take off your pants and jacket. They’re all play on words lmao
"Dude" "Ranch" 😂😂
he looks healthy and happy. Nice to see.
Been a Blink fan since I was 5 years old in 2000. I was today years old when I realized the joke in the TOYPAJ album.
I’m the same age as you and I was just laughing my ass off at how long it took me to catch that lol
I am one of those people that didn’t get it until a few years ago, embarrassingly.
Hey! I loved what i´ve seen and heard so far. Do you have a link of the full interview?
How could anyone not get it? It was blink…
Yup; I'm here in my little home, making art, hanging with my wife and kids...
Where can we watch the full interview?
burnout 3, particularly on the xbox, SLAPS. instant respect
His voice has changed a lot...he sounds deeper
happens to everyone.
Mark kind of went the opposite way, his voice used to be a lot deeper
That's because it is the Voice Inside his Yead
Is the microphone
Thank. Uuuuuu
20 years later and I now understand what Take Off Your Pants & Jacket means
what does it mean
Oh my god i just got it hahaha
Sameee
English is not my first language tho
I got it one day by just saying the title slowly and was like wait hold on
@JamieNelsonsPool yeah but what is the joke, i dont get it
That last part was facts
I'd give anything to spend more time with my kid too
Take Off My Pants and Jacket is on my Dating profile and so far it's led me to one person. love it
I didn't *get* the joke that is "Take Off Your Pants and Jacket" for a long time.
Im just understanding it now...
Tom is such a sweetheart, love that guy
The last phrase 👏👏👏😀
Oh my gosh. I just get it now.
I also just realized this year what the title means
i cant figure it out, can you share?
Well I guess TH-cam deleted my reply. You might have to Google it lol
@@onedeu "jacket" sounds like "jack it"... take of your pants and,...
Legend
The Diarrhea of Anne Frank XD
I love you Tom delonge!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
All jokes aside Tom is a very intelligent man, I guess the persona from blink-182 Kinda dimmed the light on that
Absolutely. But also, you have to be smart to play dumb as the other way around is impossible
Take Off is my favorite
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.
I played the Hell out of that CD. My blink tattoo has the smiley face, symbols from TOYPAJ, and the colors from the Untitled album.
I’m not lying I just got the joke the other day and I bought this album new.
My favorite part was when he was laughing at the album title.
I see Tom has a wedding ring on is he married gain? JW great video!
Sounds like Tom went through Puberty
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
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.
I find it funny he wants to find aliens when, despite his song, they don’t exist
His music has def found a place👍

*he laughed his pants off.*
I'll go now
I really wish they would return to making raw stuff like Cheshire cat
My best childhood memories was listening to blink182
