      I think he gets enough credit! Blink are a staple throwback band, aging very well, plenty of new(younger) listeners, still very relevant, still getting air time and now Tom has a signature model.

      He’s sold like 30 million albums, probably has sold more signature guitars then any other musician ever, one of the most influential guitarist of the past 30 years so many famous musicians have stated he’s the reason they picked up a guitar and/or blink is the reason they are a musician if you look up every successful band since enema of the state came out there is a really good chance the guitarist started playing because of Tom and/or because of blink it’s not a questionable thing it’s just facts I mean even many of the SoundCloud rappers were influenced by blink many videos of them doing blink covers. Blink is the equivalent of the Beatles as far as serious influence of the past 25 years no other band has been as influential as blink in the past 25 years love them or hate them it’s just facts. What’s really crazy is the different genres of famous bands/artists that are influenced from blink from metal to rap to top 40 pop to pop rock to indie rock to electronic to punk just all different genres of musicians were influenced by blink and many stating without blink they would not exist. On that big of a scale only a few bands have been that influential they are up there with Nirvana and the Beatles. Blink is a massive band they are not as widely respected publicly like Nirvana and The Beatles still a huge band but not as huge as them but they are every bit as influential. With that being said saying Tom doesn’t get enough credit is the furthest thing from the truth if anything he gets more credit then he deserves he’s not some great guitarist technically and not a great singer technically he’s just an amazing songwriter that’s what it really breaks down to not his playing or singing because he’s just an average guitarist and singer but he gets tons of credit for both when so many people are so much better then him but because he’s such an amazing songwriter he gets credit as a good guitarist and singer.

    Tom Delonge and minimalist John Frusciante (from the _Californication_ to _By the Way_ era) inspired a generation of kids to pick up a guitar in the late '90s/early '00s. It was just simple riffs, simple chords, no capos, no weird tunings and one guitar for the whole song. What a great time to learn the guitar.

      @caliente-frio3966 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +38

      ​@teezee44 I know. That's why I said John Frusciante from the _Californication_ to _By the Way_ era. John Frusciante from _Stadium Arcadium_ onwards is a totally different player.
      When he rejoined the band in 1998, after getting clean from drugs, I believe he had no guitars. He sold his guitars to pay for his drug addiction, so he pretty much had to learn how to play again and get comfortable in a band. That's why those albums have very minimalistic guitar playing, especially _Californication._
      I wasn't comparing Tom Delonge and John Frusciante stylistically. The point I was trying to make was this: because they wrote such simple songs in the late '90s and early '00s, they inspired a lot of beginner guitarists. So many kids started playing guitar by learning the riffs for _Dammit, Stay Together for the Kids, Adam's Song, Californication, Otherside_ or _What's My Age Again?_
      For example, _Californication_ was the first song I ever learned. It had everything a beginner needed to develop their skills: a repetitive riff for the intro and most of the verse, a second riff at the end of each verse, a simple chord pattern for the pre-chorus and chorus, and then a really simple solo. Although John Frusciante's playing is better now, I doubt there are many kids learning _Black Summer_ as their first song.

    I love that after all these years, Tom (and Mark as well) still are so humble about their own skills as musicians. I've never once heard them claim they were even good guitar/base players, let alone great ones, and hearing Tom say his goal was just to be "decent" made me chuckle.
    These guys are actually pretty good now, but they've always given all the credit to Travis in terms of musical talent. Even if he's never going to win any best guitarist awards, he's definitely got an ear for rifts & catchy melodies, and can find ways to make awesome music anyway.

    Awesome to see! I loved Blink in the late 90's and really gained appreciation for Tom over the last decade. Saw them on their new tour and it was an amazing show, everyone was great. Happy to see Blink getting newfound appreciation!

    pretty much everything he says in this interview is why he is so successful as a musician, and a lot of why Blink 182 is a successful band. Such a cool attitude and philosophy toward music. Resonates well with me.

    Tom inspired me to make my guitar nice and simple! One pick up one volume know and some distortion😎
    His guitar playing was just simple and that’s what made it sound so good!
    Definitely one of my inspiration to play guitar🥲

    The way he plays the Dammit riff here gives me so much validation. Its not how he plays it in the music video, so I've always felt like I was doing it wrong. Not anymore!

    Thank you, Tom and Fender for reissuing these signature Strats. Hopefully that curtails the absolutely ridiculous prices of the original run in the used market.

      ​@@bahooneyonastickI'd much rather pay $1300 for a brand new one than pay $2k+ for a beat up one from 2001, that's had god knows how many hands all over it. At the price they are, I could not justify buying an original despite wanting one for so long. I'm so glad they've reissued it, I ordered mine this morning ❤️

      @johnthemachine 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      most people are buying rebuilt Squier versions of these on Reverb thanks to those prices. so much cooler than dropping 1200-1800 bucks on a "punk" guitar imo.

    When I was about 15 years old, my dad took me to guitar center for my birthday and they had this exact Tom Delonge Signature Strat in Seafoam for $350. i would come home from school and play through the entirety of dude ranch, enema, TOYPAJ, etc. It's one of my favorite things that I own still to this day and I feel lucky to have an original.

  • @miscbrah88

    This is great. I always wanted one of these guitars as a kid back in 2001 - my parents bought me a candy red Squier strat and the first song I learned all the way through was What's My Age Again - I played that thing for hours everyday. Eventually I bought a Seymour Duncan humbucker and whacked it in there to get closer to Tom's sound and played in a school band. By the time I had a job and I could even think about buying my own Tom signature guitar, they'd been discontinued for a few years and resale prices were through the roof. Fast forward 20 years and here I am with tickets to Blink at Birmingham, UK in October and a Surf Green (the GOAT colour, not to be confused with Seafoam!) Tom Delonge strat on pre-order and due to be delivered any day now. Fender, Tom and Blink - thanks for being a constant in my life. You guys are the best.
