"Get the tickets to see blink 182" in the description... this is something weird
Lil Bryan although he’s not in the band he most likely gets royalties for his songs
@@AJMASTER7 not for their concerts.
P Master you’re a fool if you think he’s signed the rights to his songs away to hoppus and skiba. They are all in agreement
@@pmaster1173 He's definitely getting royalties every time a song he wrote is performed. Any public performances of his songs, no matter what band performs/covers it... he gets royalties.
They should of had a link for angels and airwaves tour thats that show to go see fuck skiba 182
Dude Tom is a fucking hero. He loves life. He fucking loves Mark too. He mentioned him several times in his reminiscing stories. I don't care whether blink get back together, blink, like the Star Wars movies, had its pinnacle and will forever remain unblemished. AVA is fucking awesome, new 'blink' is alright. But Tom remains just a cool ass down to earth dude. I love that guy
He's down to earth from his alien spaceship, replacing the rockstar, Tom DeLonge.
yea he's freaking awesome, I miss the blink era but still love him in his solo career and ava, looks like a really cool guy
@@SHREDDING. He is the reason I taught myself how to play guitar and started singing many many years ago. My band just dropped a demo and it’s very Tom inspired. From one fan to however many fans see this. Please check it out!

Apparently Rolling Stone, the biggest rock magazine in the world doesn´t know that Tom hasn´t been in Blink 182 for at least 5 years.
Martin Marcos whatever?
"Rolling Stone a rock magazine" Hahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahaha
Apparently he’s coming back
Oliver A. Yeah and apparently Martin the biggest Tom fan doesn’t even know that XD
Oliver A. How do you know
Who's gonna tell Rolling Stone that Tom isn't in Blink anymore...
they will come back, it's official
Yeah its obvious he'll be back. I don't care what the issues other than Tom being kinda nuts sometimes or whatever, but why the fuck would you want to see Blink 182 without Tom...? Getting that other guy to fill in was a dumb fucking idea.
It's called due diligence and it's not really a thing Rolling Stones is known for.
@@lancebuttercream9817 sorry to be "THAT GUY" but I actually respect Matt Skiba. I think he does good in Blink and Alkaline Trio. Plus he's a super sweet guy who I've met a few times. But if you don't like him in the band I completely understand bro.
They didn’t say he was?
I love how happy he gets when he talks about mark and their past; the love is there and it's so obvious you could see it from space. it's great to see you smile again, tom. here's to more mark and blink related memories ♡
hes become his worst nightmare a grandpa with nothing but old anecdotes to tell, whats his age again?
Just gave this vid its 182 like. Boom!!!
Here’s to more Mark and Blink related (future) memories
@@hgs9880 ahem, you sure?
*looks in description*
"Get tickets to see blink-182!"
Me: *Don't do that. Don't give me hope.*
R3n3gad3 *we all felt that*
Your hope has been fulfilled.
I’m just happy that Tom still cares about blink-182 at all. I’ll fully support Angels and Airwaves though!
hey....we dont need to whisper
His actions have proven otherwise
@@astronomydomine8055 haha only way to read that
Blink 182 dedícate aliens exist for Tom :'(
@@jordank5975 yeah his actions of choosing family and personal passions and business ventures over his own music/band that had its glory days and that doesn't inspire him as much anymore. That bastard.
It’s nice to hear Tom speak on positive memories with Mark/blink. Miss those good old days.
I love you!
@@housinauthority5258 I love you
@@beepst I love you
@@artificialpixel4165 I love you
Old days you look 16
He’s unironically looking like the dude he played in first date
Toms not just a musician he's a method actor, when he took up the role of boomer the end of blink 182 was onky a matter of time, for he could never escape that role, he became boomer.
more like he's now playing the dad from first date (or any other blink music video)
At least he’s not a creepy 40-something dressed as a teenager!
@@allrain 😂😂😂 but he is.
Wow...really?
Dude is for real still a 16 year old kid.
Good. You should always stay young at heart.
He’s a child inside back up and give him some room
no he is not. He progressed as a person... Check out the link from Angels and Airwaves th-cam.com/video/XtpLRu6WAak/w-d-xo.html not the one I was specifically hoping to find without leaving this. Yeah sure definitely still childlike at heart if that is what you mean. Because that I completely agree with 😁
@frank rizzo still super humble.
Pretty humble, sweet & funny. Also he's describing events from his youth, so yeah they're going to sound more youthful and spirited. He's been ahead of his time for a long time, especially with the UFO knowledge.
this is the first time, that i’m worried, of a bad dream, of a journey, on a highway, through the valley, it’s a long road through the night.
Needed this😂
kaleidoscope
Reference from?
It's a long roaaaad to get it right
@@racoonzattack Neighborhoods album.
The first riff they wrote together was Carousel.
But thats not Tom's first riff
And to this day, still one of their best. That opening bass line is dreamy
First riff I ever learnt
StanzTalks nobody is saying that’s his first riff.
both the bass and guitar riffs were already made, it was the first time they played them together tho, and they fit perfect
I'm glad Tom DeLonge took a break from chasing aliens to do an interview with the Rolling Stones
hes become his worst nightmare a grandpa with nothing but old anecdotes to tell, whats his age again?
@TH-cam User I definitely respect Tom for what he's done and I think it's awesome. But you've got to admit it's fucking HILARIOUS that the dude who made a song called "fuck a dog" almost single handedly proved UFOs exist.
@@artificialpixel4165 I’m sorry, he proved what?
@@nottroy4500 Do some research on your google machine.
@@joruss443 *HAHA, GOOGLE MACHINE*
i havent seen tom without that ford hat in a while
loveks - maybe he's balding
Such a normal/ funny interview, then of course you just have to ask the question at the end 🤣
hes become his worst nightmare a grandpa with nothing but old anecdotes to tell, whats his age again?
@@hgs9880 are you seriously just replying the same thing over and over?
@@jeremyrafuse5330 Let him have his fun. Soon we'll all be gone.
@@jeremyc9593 "man overboard" nice one
Why blink tickets rather than an AvA promotion?
Cause tom gets royalties (he gets paid) every time blink plays a song he made
@@imyourpapi261 but he's actually in AvA
@@ThorCarlton yeah I know,but he still gets a shit ton of money from blink playing all their old songs bc he wrote them
@@imyourpapi261 not really though. I don't think you quite know how royalties work.
@@ThorCarlton no,I do know how they work
"Did you asked anything about that story?
You just wanted to hear about naked guys"
4:29
That just killed me 😂 classic Tom
I WAS DYING... SO FUNNY.
Blink tickets in description LOL
where else have I seen you
Yep. Twenty years of of being a fan and I'm still just as giddy looking at his cute face and dark eyes.
Beyond everything, this man is a legend. I love him
I want more videos like this with Tom. That guy must have endless stories with the success that his bands have had and all the crazy that comes with it.
"This is a song about when aliens fly into your butt!"
Big day out. I downloaded that in like 2002 on a friends "broadband" because I only had 56 k at home and burned it on a cd. Aw the low tech days. I've seen it soo many times.
Hey Mom, there's something on the back ruuuume!!!
It’s crazy how deep his speaking voice is compared to his singing voice. He sounds more like a baritone when he speaks but when he sings he’s definitely a tenor.
It never used to be that way though.
yeah, but if you listen to him speaking back in the 90s, its way more high pitched. it’s just aging 🤷♀️
I can’t get over how much deeper his voice has gotten in 10 years. I literally just watched an interview from 2011 and he sounds like a completely different person. I’ve never experienced anyone’s speaking voice change this much in the space of 10 years lol
"Nursery rhymes on meth"
I've been trying to describe their music for years and yet it was this simple
🤣Exactly what I thinking!!🤣
I love this man ! His attitude towards life , love and pain is inspiring.
So awesome hearing these rare blink stories directly from Tom himself.
TOM DELONGE AHHHHH😍😍
Almost got a whole video without talking about them damn aliens!
look until the end ... until the very end)
Jajaja!
@@happyangels5180 No. He has said "almost".
Take a shot every time Tom says “Punk band”
JJ O'Connell the video is about punk bands so he’s obviously gonna say it a lot
Eric_T123 I feel like any time Tom has ever talked about music he likes on camera he says “punk bands” or “punk rock bands” a lot
@@royoncelluloid4813 Yeah, you know how, like, James Hetfield always talks about metal and, like, you know, dr. dre talks about hip hop, such posers man, like, AS IF a dude who was in a skate/pop/punk band for 15 years REALLY ever owned a punk record.. Everyone knows he loves U2, talk about them man, instead of namedropping these huge bands like Lagwagon or The Dead Milkmen, who get mentioned in Rolling Stone all the time anyways..
JJ O'Connell just been rushed to hospital with alcohol poisoning
I cant stand up anymore
"first time meeting with a government official"
well now that took a turn
Tom, please just do one tour or show or song or whatever with blink again. I've been a fan since the Scott days yo.
Hehe it’s time
Tom is always a good storyteller!
Tom still talks about Mark very fondly.
Not a single tattoo or piercing shown
I guess this is growing up
I'm thinking how I need to hide my hands tattoos one day😂😂
@@shiki494 I have been hiding mine for almost a decade now. One the tattoos became a fashion and trend, I now wear long sleeve shirts and pants 24/7. I never touched the front of my neck or hands..but other than that, I am pretty much covered. But they are for me.. no one else has to see them. I am disgusted with what tattooing has become. People who would have had a little rose on their ankle, 20 years ago, are now going to shops and getting 8 hours of work done for their first piece Ppl that a lot of guys would have refused to work on and now getting covered. If someone was smart, they would get into the tattoo removal business..because in about 3 or 4 years, there are going to be a TON of hipster idiots wanting tattoo removal.
hes become his worst nightmare a grandpa with nothing but old anecdotes to tell, whats his age again?
@@michaelr.4878 So, your tattoos are for you, but you're disgusted with what tattoos have become and others with tattoos are hipster idiots.. okay dude... maybe their tattoos mean as much to them as yours do to you.
Sounds to me like you're just pulling the old "I got mine before they were cool and trendy". Yes, you're a unique little snowflake...
Yup. Hes evolving as an artist and is maturing his image while mark and travis are still trying to look 17
Haha, the naked bouncer... Tom has always been my top pick, but Mark adds an extra level of wildness to each tale... I'm thrilled they're touring together, and catching them at one of their peak performances was a real highlight (despite their age, they sound even more incredible live than they did in 2011).
I'm Feeling This! Watching from London UK.
Awesome Interview! 🔥🎙🔥
I grew up in a town 10 minutes from the small suburban San Diego town where Tom grew up, so seeing/hearing him interviewed always feels a little bit like home to me.
I love you Tom; I miss youu so much in Blink 😣, but I love AVA too 🎈
So happy to be here before 10k ... PUNK ROCK GIRL ALL DAY
Austin Berry Oh Hi Austin
I love to see how happy he is ❤️
Well i still see the old tom in this when he laughs and makes jokes! He is still the same dude and i will always suport him i can understand him
Would you imagine if during an actual concert of blink 182 Tom delonge shows up? Haha
someone better record that if it happens or so help me
I'd sigh cuz he became cancerous. His attitude was shit for years, he sang like shit and his guitar tone was shit.
@@jordank5975 completely agree. Live shows he sang like he didn't give a fuck about quality in any way. Sounded like he was drunk and sloppy every song.
@@thegreatnivek but wasn't that the entire point of blink...? being aware that they play like shit and embracing that I mean
That would be epic!!!
so many tom delonge videos are scattered around the internet, maybe he will reunited to the band soon? it this a dream?
we can only hope.
maybe he's re-entering the public world because ava is touring thus summer? I'd love it if all of this meant he was working with blink in some way too though; I'd probably cry.
Awesome ♥
Thanks Rolling Stone
I'll always support Tom! He's a great guy!
Forever loving tom delonge!!!
So cool Tom's first show was the Dead Milkmen, I love that.
Tom❤️
That was awesome and unexpected! Thanks for the Tom upload ;) sad that when referring to mark he puts in the second name basis. Kind of shows where the relationships at.. but hey! It was one hell of a journey with blink, and I love the UFO research anyway :)
I like Tom. He can right some good guitar riffs. And he has a nice Fender under his name.
His laugh at 4:08 reminds me of that drunk interview in Urethra 2. Fuck, it's so nice to see him happy
man i love tom ❤️
Love him ❤️
I love Tom even more now! I’m an Oregonian 🥰💚🌲🙏🏻
Miss you tom
Thanks rolling stone for this gem I appreciate it bros
i love you tom
a legend, man we miss yor music
Never heard of Angels & Airwaves?
Matt Skiba is better
@@PunkRockZombie205 now, admit it.....you are just "click baiting" aren't you?
@@PunkRockZombie205 Tard alert
@@PunkRockZombie205 he's an absolute husk of who he used to be
Yeah, this is why I fell in love with Blink. Tom, Blink and the fans are calling. You guys can be a 4 piece now (I ended up really liking Matt Skiba, but i miss Tom's guitar)
Marco Castellano it’s over dude. He’s got his own band now. He can’t just leave them.
I respect this guy and the other guys in Blink. I grew up to their music
It's wild The First Time is the opening track on Nine
Thats my idol
Love him
Such a likable dude
I love The Dead Milkmen!
Being from Philly like The Dead Millkmen him mentioning them got a smile from me.Didn't know they were an influence.
Rob C
Donuts on your lawn!!
Bitchin Camaro was definitely their first “hit”. And I’m in Florida so I don’t think it was just a Philly thing.
Me and my friends wore that “Big Lizard In My Backyard” cassette out when I was in high school.
Punk Rock Girl was 3 years and 3 albums later.
T L CANT AFFORD TO FEED EM ANYMORE
Video still loading. Thumbs up 👍🏻
I was OBSESSED with Tom in 10th grade.
You're in 10th grade right now
Blink isn't the same without Tom.. Sorry Matt Skibba just doesn't work.. Mark and Tom have the vocal chem.. Can't replace that... I L.O.V.E Tom's voice.
Loved* his voice is garbage now unfortunately.
@@imjeremy51 .. Tom's voice is garbage?.. Well I hate to disappoint you but makes no difference to me what you think, his voice is awesome.. ✌
Completely agree. I just recently found out he wasnt in the band when I saw a video of blink performing a few weeks ago and I was like wait who the eff is that guy lol.
Love how self aware tom is of himself
Take a shot everytime Tom drops punk, punk rock, punk band
Nursery rhymes on crystal meth..... I will forever refer to old Blink's musical genre to this now 😂😂😂
Tom!!!! We need you back in the group dude.
I love him
1:37 love the honesty
Tom DeLonge convincing everyone that hes an insane alien hunter is the best running joke of all time
Joe Rose it’s not a joke any more
Apparently you havent seen the "chilean navy ufo footage" or the USS Nimitz videos.
It's no joke. They signed a $600 million contract with the US Army for advanced armor and beam weapons.
Love how his telling of his first meeting is very different here, and I know exactly why. Good on ya tom.
why is it different?
i miss you
*Watches interview of Tom*
*Scrolls down to see the description*
"Get tickets to see Blink-182 live..."
*Klicks on it*
"Blink 182 and Lil Wayne"
I love you, Tom
Blink doing an EOTS 20 year tour without Tom is completely and utterly pointless.
Jon Bourgoin very wrong I saw them do it at back to the beach fest and Matt is amazing. obviously no one can match toms voice. Not even Tom can do his own voice from 20 years ago.
@@cooperknott8300 I just saw a video of Matt playing Dumpweed and it sounded really bad imo
Mr. 182 you have to see it person dog and what video? When was it?
@@cooperknott8300 yeah probably, it was the Huntington Beach one, idk about you but Matt's singing on Dumpweed sounded pretty bad for me, he even messes up the Going Away To College intro
Mr. 182 I was there dude sounded amazing. And it was their first show in a month and pretty sure that was Matt’s first time ever playing gatc live
Kids nowadays will never know how legendary this guy is. and how good blink was in their prime
Nursery rhymes on crystal meth is my new fave early blink descriptor lmao so accurate
D.I. Is a great band! Got to see them for a reunion type tour in I wanna say 2003 or so? Good taste
An unique voices make a unique person
On a recent interview Tom said that it is a fact that he would come back to blink, 'it's part of the plan" he said. It's just a matter of time, he's to catch an alien first whatever..
Mark said that conversation never happened
I am pretty sure Tom has a lot of attachment oddities and lies his ass off about these things to stay relevant. I like his blink music, but dude needs to sort his crap out before he can be stable enough to be blink again.
For a guy that got kicked out for not having time to in the band, he certainly talks an awful lot about blink since then.
Really? You are giving me hope. I wanna see blink live with tom as lead singer before I die! Never got a chance to catch them ever!
U guys really need to watch this interview th-cam.com/video/Z9lXrEyaKAE/w-d-xo.html ..
@@julij.8203 and after this came out there was an interview with mark where he said he hasn't even spoke to tom
Tom,, please come home.... we miss you... we miss your oldschoold poppunk emo-y voice, we miss your unique riffs,
Tom is love, Tom is life.
I love this man
Te amo tanto
Been a de longe time since a seen this guy.
i love you Tom
😂😂 The Dead Milken are awesome. That's cool. This whole video's dope nd funny 🤘🤘💯💯
4:46- music to my ears
I really like Tom. He is a great guy.
Legend.
I don't think I could listen to this guy for months either is I had to tour with him.
The first time I left the band, I didn't think that I would've done it twice!
