    Do you think if Tom has opportunity to sang that way he sing in Blink he would’t de tried. Maybe he did this cause physyological reasons

  • gareth

    well he cant really listen to that performance and say he did a good job! its critisim…albeit from a very hard to please group……his fans!!! He’ll take it on the chin and hopefull sing a little less like a fuck tard!

  • http://www.182online.com misty

    Tom heard u all! Cnt u just let him be!! Gosh, tom this n tom that…give him a break n put a lead on it! Like u folks havnt changed in the past ten years, think about it!! Change can be great, if its given a chance!! O n its at times called growth!…i guess this is called growing up…dammit

    gareth get over yourself!

    so is tom mad now?

  • berni88

    i think the critics concerning tom’s singing are too hard! you guys should be more happy that blink 182 does exist! and the way tom is singing is (in my opinion) not the worst one! so my american friends, shut the f**ck up, and be happy of the blink tour next summer!!

  • Atticus182

    Yeah, we perfectly see that; Mark and Travis still the same but Tom…I must admit that there’s something new…I watched during all the week the video All The Small Things (the original one and the Jay Leno)…it’s sure they are different.
    Actually, I think that Tom tries too hard to sing on this song, which is really basic to play and to sing…and it’s one of thier greatest hit ever…
    I think it still too early to judge Tom’s Jay Leno performance…I’m curious to hear him on song like Dumpweed, I’m Sorry, I Miss You, Anthem Part 2, and more…

  • gareth

    awh i would fucking love to see dumpweed!!! oooh and Mutt

  • http://www.myspace.com/goodmourningyesterday jp

    dude im sick of people giving tom shit ya they got together BECAUSE OF THE PLANE CRASH thats not a good thing exactly so the press needs to shut the fuck up about that so i guess if u wanna say tom is mad in that situation yes but in the whole idea of blink 182 he is just as stoked as we are and yes i also was the one that told mark that tom needs to clean up his singing mark told me he has heard it from me and a bunch of other people and has told tom and tom is gunna try to clean it up

  • tom

    I totally agree with atticus182, I think Tom tries too hard with his singing, he is a naturally gifted singer, but over the years his live performance has just gotten worse and worse. I think Tom is a good singer, and I reckon he’ll sound good out on tour too.

  • gareth

    Misty!!! Get over myself…I’ll get under my self thank you very much:P

  • E-Dub

    You know, I don’t really care what he sounds like live and long as they keep putting out records. I don’t care if he has to use auto tune or anal beads or any other masturbatory device to sing as long as they record a new album. They’ve recorded some of the greatest fuckin songs of all time using wherever magic and I’m sure they will again. I’m just happy they are playing again.

  • Tony

    I am so happy those boys are back together… and I will never take them for granted ever again…. Man, it is so good too see them joking and laughing again…

  • blink me babey

    Just let tom do what he wants to do ,,,sing how he wants ,,I listen to everyband tom has been in and hes great..i also listen to what mark has been in and travis andd tbh i didnt think i would ever like a band like the transplants or ava or +44 but they are all amazing bands ,…so just get over the fact tom sings different ,,yeah and im 14 too but i dont go all moany and horrible cause tom does everything different than before ….so just tom do what he wants to do =)

  • Dom

    Wow you fucks complain about so god damn much. Tom sounded good! What the fuck is your guys’ problems? He is his own person, deal with it. If you don’t like it then get the fuck out of here and quick listening to blink.

  • rick

    if he tried to sing in tune like he can do then there would be no problem, he get paid millions by his fans to do his job so he could at least put the effort in to sign in tune and without slurring.

  • Malik

    While i agree that some people have been overcritical of every little thing, you all who are defending Tom have to stop thinking that all criticism is negative. It can be a constructive thing

  • http://www.182online.com misty

    malik and gareth…bla bla bla! Gosh…constructive blaaaa yawn!

  • http://www.182online.com zylie

    i totally agree with misty. Let tom be.

  • http://www.182online.com prada

    does anyone think tom and mark cheat on their wives? Im preparing for the summer haha! I think they do…i hope!

  • Jesse

    FUCK THE COMPLAINS!! tom… sing like you fuckin want!! You still the man!! get really into BLINK again, this is where you belong.. forget about AVA and all your energy, talent, uniqueness, originallity, your passion and love… leave it in blink, because this is the best Band Ever… this band is the past, present, and future… keep rockin the world tom…

  • lookimrory

    i dont think tom sounded that bad. i kinda liked it. ATST is a kind of boring song and tom changed it up a little. i love you tom.

  • viktor

    Man, give tom a break! So many people were bitching that he should get back with blink and so on, and yeah, he did! which is great, and now u guys say something like this? I didnt sound that bad. I am sure he will get better on the tour. Give him some support! I love you tom delonge, how ever you sing!

  • james01

    WTF? Why is montreal no longer on livenations as a venue. What happened?

    Mark said that some got changed around, but he never said that some got canceled. If blink is not coming to montreal ill be sooo fucking pissed.

  • james01

    could someone please give me an update?

  • RonBurgundy

    I fucking wish u lot would stop moaning about toms voice and the fact they got 2 bands each on the go. if we keep moaning honislty toms gunna fucking give up pleaseing us because by the sounds of things no body is fuckign happy with anythign they do, i think toms voice is good it was never the best live voice anyway and tom nos that himself i bet, he knows he fucks up on guitar cause he laughs and joeks about it on stage so everyone can shut the fuck up moaning about every little thing he does wrong because all us old blink fans no whats hes like live and what to expect, personlly i find it funny when he fucks up maybe others dont but dont ruin this for everyone else by moaning all the time cause this is gunna end up getting him down. so stop thinking abotu urselfs for a change and suppor the fucking band!! tom mark and travis.

  • http://www.182online.com misty

    RonBurgundy…i 100% agree with you!!! Its the tom, mark and travis show all the way..lets make it last, 4ever.

  • james01

    can someone please respond to question #25?

  • E-Dub

    Ron Burgundy, Your my new hero!

  • Seb

    Thank you Ron Burgundy!
    I totally agree!

  • Kostas

    this is a video of ATST in 2003. tom sounds very similar to the leno performance. so shut up and stop complaining. Its still the tom we love.

  • Tomorrow3mma

    I have to agree with the general consensus about Tom’s voice. It’s a little strained sounding… I’m nervous. I know that he can still do it though, I just think that being older has made his voice deeper, and that makes me sad.
    On the other hand. I must agree with those people who are like: Stop dissing on Tom. I mean in 04-05 ish everyone suddenly decided to jump on the Tom Hatin’ bandwagon but the truth is that none of us can hate Tom more than Mark… I mean come on, he’s “old school hatin’ Tom, I’ve been hatin’ Tom since like 1995″
    But yeah, Tom needs to get some voice therapy I think. All that epic vocalness of AVA might have ruined him.

  • Mike

    haha guys you really think tom is mad? Did you hear the first interview. The radio station even made fun of toms voice. He is a cool guy, he doesn’t get pissed about that stuff. All in all tom is a really bad singer. I have seen blink live 5 times and every time the were pretty bad. haha. I like that they don’t sound perfect.

  • http://myspace.com/luckyflower22 Brian

    Blink still kicks ass. And to be fair, it’s a little premature to take their first couple of shows in 4 years as a straight model for how well they will perform over the summer. Hopefully Mr. Delonge will take any and all criticism as constructive criticism.

  • RonBurgundy

    I agree with brian, it just annoys the fuck outta Me that he does one bad performace and all hell breaks loose. He’s a amazing muscian and when
    He retires we won’t see another blink so enjoy them while u
    Can because they won’t be around forever. We waited 5 years
    For this and all you can do is bitch bitch bitch and also we havnt even herd his studio voice and everyone go YouTube And look at
    Blink live from 5 years ago in my eyes he’s the same, also Lol Tom
    If you read this FUCK what half of these assholes say!!

    BLINK 182 FUCKING RULES

  • Jim

    He sings the way he likes
    fans should accept it the way he is

  • Stub

    Winnipeg is where it’s at!

  • sotoz

    tom tries to emulate the robert smith voice.he has such a nice voice naturally its a shame he tries to change it.but still with the cure voice mix up he sounds like ben weasel so its cool

  • Tim

    So .. people hate Tom when he left Blink, and now everyone’s still bitching about him now he’s back IN Blink.
    Sort lives.

  • BCR+44AVABlink

    Ok here is all you need to know about Tom’s singing, this is the inside scoop. A lot of stupid people have made fun of Tom and said he sings whiny which actually is what makes him so different and awesome, but because of those losers Tom tries not to sound whiny and that’s what your hearing. Well we all need to tell him that whinyness is badass and what makes him sound like Tom and punk and we love it cause I do.

  • joel

    I personly hated AVA but i still though Tom sounded kick ass singing all the small things.

  • Attica

    Do you think Mark and Tom read the boards here? Cause this is the number one fan site. I wonder if they reply with an alias.

  • Jared

    Everyone needs to shut the hell up about toms singing. He recorded that song ten years ago. Now he’s 33. There’s no way you can hate him for sounding different. If so, you are not a fucking blink fan and need to quit hating and get fucked. Toms the shit. Marks the shit. Travis is the shit. Blik 182 is the shit.

  • AD

    Well guys i think you must be happy for blink return… what about toms singing… is a little like AVA But its ok, its something diferent but wait to heard Aliens Exist,Carousel,First Date, etc.. Maybe TOM just made a prove to heard the fans critic, just wait the other songs, Im not going to say i preffer the All The Small Things new version, than older, but is not bad, i like it.

    PD: TOM Second voice in Rock Show was tottaly normal, And Dammit chorus too, I didnt heard feeling this by the moment.

  • http://hubpages.com/hub/I-Miss-You-182 I Miss You 182

    I think that Tom should sing however he wants to sing. If he gives in to whatever his fans tell him before he does what he wants to do, then he’s just selling out.

    They Rocked.. Leave Tom Alone.
