- Tom Delonge joins Ted Stryker as they discuss Angels & Airwaves and how the new album LIFEFORMS came together...In the interview, Tom opens about about operating on the fringe for such a long time, the public questioning all is professional moves, from his departure from Blink 182 to "chasing aliens" to working with the US Government. Tom also discusses with Stryker his contract with the government in regards to a craft of unknown origin. Tom also talks about Blink 182 getting their record deal, the non-stop cycle Blink 182 was on and how that affected his personal and professional life. Tom opens up about his current relationship with Mark Hoppus, and how Mark's incredibly sad cancer diagnosis helped their friendship (episode was recorded just before Mark announced he was cancer free). Tom also tells a hilarious story of the time he approached an employee at Christopher Nolan's company Syncopy Films talking followed by his crazy encounter with Chris Nolan himself. The episode closes with a story about what happened when Blink 182's record company came to listen to the album Dude Ranch for the first time, and, how Tom deals with critics today.

Can I just thank you for the calm way you interview and how you actually let him talk, so that he gave us a piece of his mind this way? You asked all the right questions for him to give such answers to. This was such an interesting interview, easygoing and grounded but also deep and inspiring, while at the same time making me laugh and feel... at home. Without being cliché, I felt a lot of heart here from both of you, and it was beautiful. Thank you so much. In time I'm going to check out more of your videos, I have to sit with this one for a bit...
My thoughts exactly. This guy gives a very nice and calm vibe when he interviews. Will definitely be listening for now on.
Consider the use of "flying saucers" (UFOs) as a means of delivering atomic weapons. This is very important and relevant, due to the fact that air defense is sharpened against ballistic missiles and aircraft, and UFOs calmly overcome them. The risk threshold has decreased - an atomic war may begin.
It was the phenomenon of such devices in the late 80s that frightened the leadership of the USSR. All these "UFOs over Krasnoyarsk", "UFOs over Perm" + the explosion of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant... Therefore, the leaders of Communist Party went to an honorable surrender...
However, for 30 years, the Russian Federation has been able to bring its electrokinetic flying machines to mind, and now there is panic in the United States - unknown objects are flying over the territory of both NATO and the United States. They have something to be afraid of: such combat UFOs will successfully deliver nuclear bombs to decision-making centers and enemy missile silos, bypassing air defense.
Americans were very scared of russian "flying triangles" and other unidentified phenomena, so the May meeting of the US Congress on UFOs was started in open mode, and then had to be classified. There are still no details in the media - what did the congressmen learn from intelligence? Now the situation is extremely tense, because "flying saucers", "triangles", etc. are very dangerous weapons. So, the threshold for starting an atomic war has dropped sharply, there is a real temptation to strike the first blow without fear of a response...
Everyone in the world knows: UFO-secret spy equipment from the United States. The stories of witnesses are real, the collection of information about the passage of objects is real, but about aliens - speculation, which is supported by the disinformation of the cover spread by the special services. "Flying saucers" - earth technology. Secret technology-plasma propulsion panels, cells, rail-electron architecture. They are just located in the form of round zones around the perimeter and on the bottom of the device. From below and along the movement, a column of circular vortices is created - this is how the device flies...
Find the material "UFO - it's made in the USA" on the Aftershock website or the video "Declassified UFO". There is also my book about this - "The Crown of Communication", read it. This is a spy technique. It is tested and used for various purposes. The pilots don't know all the secrets.
Christopher Taylor Buckley wrote about this program in his satirical novel "Little Green Men". This is also said in the movie "Roswell: Final Declassification (History Channel)" - easy to find on WWW.
Now there are such ships in Russia, of course. Because of their arrivals, hearings were held in the US Congress.

Yeah mine too

that was one of the best Tom interviews I've ever seen. bonus points for burnout 3 in the background
Lol I know it's all I kept staring at. I've had revenge in my 360 for 6 months
Same to both of these one of my fav pairs of Jordan’s and did the same thing with my best friend on funnily enough the urethra chronicles part 1&2 DVD cuz we couldn’t afford them by ourselves so we saved our pocket money and got them and shared them with each other we’d have them on alternating weeks like some (sometimes unfortunately) broken homes lollll and burnout revenge and 3 were my equal favs hahah
That 46 minutes felt like 4. FLEW by.
Stryker on Crash FM was so great
Such a good interview. Probably one of the best of Tom's career in my opinion.
thanks so much for watching
yeah it really was. Always love Tom especially when hes grounded
Very true bring him back
Thank you for nobody else liking this comment
@@StellarMMA right
Been a fan since warped tour 98. I'm 38 now and this man got me into playing guitar, space, and crappy punk rock. Thank you Tom❣️
My 30 year old son taught himself how to play the guitar because of Kurt Cobain, but the first song that he taught himself was a White Stripes song 🎶 and I’m 52 years old btw.
The Offspring, Green Day and Blink are my favorite bands.
Jacob my son really loves Green Day and Blink much more than The Offspring though 😆
@@lauraloyland9895 30 year old son??? You don't even look 30 yourself 😳
@@JB-xc1oe I turned 52 on November 22nd and thanks ☺️🖤💘

@@lauraloyland9895 oh, you're fifty.. How does it feel that you have like.. Another life ahead of you? A second life ahead of you? You're on your fifties, make it double it and you’ll hit a hundred! In your age people tell that you're a middle-age person.. Anyway, just hoping you have twice the life you already had all over again for you to be 100, just love to think about people reaching that magic centenary number.. Hooray for longevity, may God make you live twice as much! :)
Stryker, thank you for bringing up Boxcar Racer! I was 16 when it came out and it is still one of my favorite albums ever.
Boxcar Racer is the absolute shit!
Honestly it might be the greatest album ever. Every song is gold
I'm my opinion 'There Is' is one of the best songs ever written. Simple, catchy, pretty, doesn't over stay it's welcome. It's a perfect song!
I saw Angels and Airwaves on their very first tour in Oklahoma City. They still had Ryan Sinn on bass (who absolutely did not fit in imo). He did an AvA-esque cover of 'I Miss You' that was really cool. I remember hearing 'Do It For Me Now' for the first ever at that show and being blown away by it. My favorite part was when the whole band left the stage for Tom to tell a story about a guy with a big dick and then he was joined onstage by David Kennedy with his acoustic guitar and they played 'There Is' and the whole time they were doing the song Tom was dancing around David and randomly pinching his butt trying to screw him up. It was hilarious
📦 🚗 🏁
I can say this about every song on that album but There Is, is an awesome one. It’s because we all can possibly relate
I love how Tom acts like he never grew out if being a Teenager but then is able to talk about serious stuff love that guy
I am 52 years old, I started oof as a RUSH, Van Halen , Kiss ,ACDC, U2 Fan.. Then came along Blink and "oh thank God" ! a fucking cool rock band after all this boy band, and rythm and blues pop songs bands. Blink saved the day for me.
So when i first heard Euforia, I was reminded of Rush Tom Sawyer. I bet ILAN gets this because I know he respected Neil Peart as a great drummer/song writer.
Tom is and has always been way ahead of his time. It’s nice to see him well and getting the recognitions and respect he deserves.
When i play Enema of the state i am transported back to high school. Ditch partys kick backs. High school gilrs a had a crush on and even break ups. That will always be a special album to me.
He is so sweet and humble.
Like everyone is saying, this is one of the best Tom Delonge interviews in a long time. Really highlights how a good host makes the interview (compared to that horrible Joe Rogan interview where he just wanted to poke fun at Tom)
The new Steve-o one is awful too.
Woahhh, that’s a nostalgia blast, Burnout 3 and blink-182 in the same interview
I feel like Tom got way more humble and grounded in recent years. I remember getting to meet him at one of the Blink reunion shows and he wasn't this outgoing and friendly.
Anyone who gets seriously involved in the phenomenon becomes humbled. Didn't know he wanted to become a firefighter. I was one for 4 years.
Yeah, I honestly don't think he was all that happy during the reunion years; you could tell he felt creatively stifled. It's why I'm honestly okay if he never rejoins Blink, especially if it's better for his mental health in the long run.
@punkgrl325 look at him now! blink-182 forever ❤
7:40 The BCR album is relevant now more than ever
I’ve noticed that for sure
The album never gets boring, I find myself at least once a month listening to it, even learned most of the songs on guitar, beauty in simplicity at it's finest.
Sweet baby Tom. No one believed him and now look. #IveAlwaysBelievedTom. I used to pretend I was Tom in the mirror when I was 15 and play my guitar and just dream. Now, I’m 37 and still address myself as Tom on those cold winter nights..
This is so cool because I grew up on Blink, the teenage angst that came about due to the uncertainty of growing up and the frustration of growing, and here Tom is as a grown ass man sounding as confident and comfortable as ever in his accomplishments. Really a full circle character arch for this man. It's beautiful.
Loved your post.
Lol.
Whether Tom is serious or whether he's making jokes, he is always entertaining as f*ck! He and Mark are the coolest artists around!
Tom and Mark are the kinda dudes, famous or not, affect anyone's mood. Big vibes.
They're great dudes, love listening to Tom even if he's getting deep on quantum mind UFO triangulation lol
@@windowzombie I love it when he gets into that stuff, it’s a subject that really interest me and I love hearing him talking about it
i think Matt Skiba and Tom should have collaborated instead
@@friendlyfire782 happy holidays, you bastard🎄🖤 ua-cam.com/video/PSGEm0mx39M/v-deo.html
I don’t care what the world has said about this man over the years, or what we’re told to feel about him. He has been a pivotal influence in my life for over 20 years, and shaped who I am.. I will follow him to the stars and beyond. It helps he’s the most delightful human being on earth.
God I came to tears at the end. So happy for Mark and Tom
Toms music has been one of the only consistencies in my life
I respect Tom now more than ever, he's a great guy. Thanks for the interview.
I F***ING love this guy! I Grew up without a dad and so I had no real male role models in my life until I found out about tom when I was only 11 and im 28 now and I honestly have become the man I am today thanks to this glorious man! great talk/video! Thank you!
Gotta admit, being a fan of Tom Delonge and every single project he’s ever created.. This by far is the best interview with him I’ve ever seen. Cheers to you my dude, now I gotta subscribe to your channel.. 🙃🖤
cheers to you and thank you!
I just think everything this man shows about himself is purely true and has always been. LOVE.
Hell yeah Biffy clyro profile pic love it bitch!
L🌙VE
Lol. Funny.
Great interview. I'm so glad there is this form of interviewing nowadays, so that the interviewer can invite whoever he likes, because back when we only had TV interviews, I swear, most of the times they were the most boring thing ever, always the same questions about who produced the album or something, and rarely if ever you would get to see an interviewer who really loved the band and asked about the music itself and the band and what inspires them and all that. I really hope Tom knows what a big impact he and Blink182 had on a generation and I'm grateful I was there to see it all happen.
thank you!!!
This record hit so hard for me. I saw Angels last night in Boston and I felt that feeling that he was talking about wanting people to feel with this music. It was uplifting and gave me chills all over. This record, to me is the best work he’s done and I think a tribute to his influences with an Angel twist fit perfectly. I love the use of minor notes and synths. Time Bomb, Euphoria, Rebel Girl, Automatic, Losing My Mind, and Kiss and Tell we’re incredible live! Thank you Tom for your years of service to music!
Great comment mate I'm really feeling what you're saying here, what a couple of great guys here in this interview and what a great band. Thumbs up to you 👍.
what a surreal experience just getting to legit hang with tom and talk about whatever.. i used to imitate this guy in the mirror playing air guitar
it was very surreal
"I was hoping it was that kind of interview" haha Tom is the best
the dude is funny!
@@TunaonToastwithStryker yes i am
What kind is it?
This is the best Tom interview I’ve seen in a long time. Awesome to see how rad of a human being he is 🤙🏼. Especially with his conversation about Mark and being successful. Great work
Tom is my hero
Man, what a great interview. Probably the best Tom interview I’ve ever seen.
Not many famous people I'd love to meet but Tom is right up there. I know he wouldn't have time for me but I reckon I could talk to him for hours. Great guy comes across like a really nice guy. Great interview man really enjoyed it!
i could listen to tom talk about ufos for hours
"80's rock bands were great until Nirvana showed up, you know" this got me.😂
Tom looks really happy and healthy here
so glad tom was given this opportunity to talk. really wish he had his own podcast
Hearing so many of Tom’s interviews with Stryker before, which were always great, I must say this is one of my favorites. Good job mates!
Could listen to this forever.
Tom has been a huge inspiration to me since I was 15. I have followed him through everything he has done, and I think he has incredibly rare talent. He also seems like a nice decent guy.
Tom is really the coolest guy. So good to see he's doing good and persuing the things he loves and makes sense to him. Sometimes it's hard just listen to your heart and somehow he did it and worked really well.
any time i hear a tom blink song, it instantly takes me back to a time where life was simpler and i didnt have a care in the world and didnt want to die every day and hate waking up, and as a musician i can absolutely understand his feeling of wanting to do better every time, but as a human being i think old blink was exactly what the world needed or at least exactly what i needed, like if it was any better or any worse it wouldnt have been so captivating or as influential as it is and it wouldnt have resonated with people as much. i feel the same way about boxcar, any time i hear "and i" i zone out to old memories of the best days of my life hanging out at the skatepark with my friends and then i come back to reality and i catch myself smiling. its like the whole time im listening, my shoulders dont feel so heavy
That’s so good! Remember 2013 Blink concert and it was so small and nice, it was catching a lot, and that one, you got it!!!!!
I love Tom's honesty and enthusiasm. Having one friend of that kind in life would be enough. All the best to both of you guys. Thanks for sharing.
You & Tom bring it all day long in this one It’s funny, informative, touching, and inspirational
Thanks for serving up the Tuna on a Tuesday
Fantastic.
looking for part 2
Amazing interview! Thank you so much!
Loved this interview! Super cool authentic conversation and connection. Thanks a bunch for this.
This was so good, really interesting but it also looked like a chat between 2 friends, I am so happy I watched this!
I missed this last year - love Tom, love Blink, so glad he's back and hope he sticks around a while this time!
Easily the most articulate and heartfelt interview I’ve ever heard from Tom.
I'm super glad I got to listen to this, hearing Tom talk about his passions and Stryker just letting him speak and present complete thoughts.
Stryker and Tom, thank you for this! Awesome 45 minutes, truly!
You are still here Tom, because your talent is amazing. Composing, lyrics, personality…. You are sincere and real. AVA FOREVER!!!!!!!
Life forms is a masterful album! A lifelong fan since the first album i’m amazed they can make something still so fresh and new so many albums later. Bravo!
This was so good! heartwarming and I loved seeing the interviewer being such a big fan. really special.
I really needed this, the explanations from Tom. This helped me to understand not to release my knowledge to people who aren't ready to know. He's talking about things that are near and dear to my heart. Thank you.
Thanks for the interview!
You strike a good balance between AVA, Blink, and just life questions in general.
Tom, as always, just seems like a super genuine, down to earth and cool guy. I wish I could meet him and talk about Bad Religion, of which he's apparently a huge fan.
Mike DeLonge in Missouri I’ll never forget was customizing shirts, we Bs’d about how his nephew was in a band. 23:27
Loved this! Great conversation. Tom’s one of my heroes
I love the Box Car Racer album. There is - was the song I sang to my son all night, when he was born 6 weeks early and my wive still had surgery done.
I told him about this, when he was three yours old and now he is asking me all the time, if I could sing this song for him again.
I'm glad I got to meet Tom and had the chance to give him a bit hug and thank him for all the great moments I had with his songs.
This is a GREAT interview, thank you thank you thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
This was an amazing interview thank you. Enjoyed it very much
One of the best most natural authentic good vibe interview ever way to goo Stryker !
This was an AMAZING podcast!
Outstanding interview thank you
Some people have smaller houses, doing things they don't love , but spend fun time with their kids in the park every day.
Words of wisdom - Tom Delonge
That last thing Tom said... brilliant
“People were like… you’re high…. And I’m like maybe but I’m trying it… It’s hard.”😂😂
Such humble guys
Fantastic interview, just love the energy and vibe throughout
the best interview I’ve ever seen with Tom and I’ve seen them all. Great work Stryker!
thank you!
I love love love that at Tom basically starts reading off the lyrics to "Rite of Spring" at 23:21 to 23:54. Specifically the line "it's all success if it's what you need / do what you like and do it honestly". It just reaffirms to me how deep of a thinker Tom is and how honest those lyrics are. Is it really success if you're hating your life to get to that point?
One of the best interviews. Hands down. A great peak into the incredible mind of an artist.
Thank you for this, Stryker!
Awesome interview! I love how much a fan you are Stryker, great questions 👌
Ya man, really cool interview, thanks for putting it on for us! 🤙
This was super entertaining. Great questions and great answers Tom. I could listen to your stories forever! Thanks for doing this !
What a great interview. Thank you both.
So epic. Made me tear. Blink is why I picked up the guitar in 1999
Thanks guys, that was super cool 👍🔥❤
One of my hero's love this man
Great interview. Made me feel so happy to watch this.
First time I`ve seen one of your interviews. I loved the questions, the vibe, the chemistry with tom. It felt so genuine, personal and intimate the way you conducted this interview. Never seen an interview like this. Great Job!
thank you so much!
Wow! Thank you so much for this interview, what a great watch it was from beginning to the end.. so great for such wonderful people and Tom and Stryker to exist, really down to earth conversation, good stuff and very inspiring in a sense too 🔥🔥
thank you Kyle!!
Incredible interview! Love Tom.
Awesome interview between a great duo. Please invite him back in 5 years
Great interviews so far!
The fact that B182 is still putting out records to this very day makes the world a brighter place.
The reason you are here when so many other artists from the 90s aren't is because in the face of all the negativity and criticism and changing tastes, you kept making music. If Chester didn't die LP would be doing the same as well.
Please keep making music no matter what happens.
He is not in blink lol
@@jamarcusrussel2352 About that...
Great interview from both sides. Thanks!
This is the first Tom interview I've watched since the Joe Rogan interview and it was good to hear Tom able to go a few minutes at a time without being asked about some super secret government things he either doesn't know about or simply can't comment on either way. That aside, Thank you Tom Delonge. I used to play the mark tom and Travis show on repeat with my guitar in hand and then later take off your pants and jacket and boxcar. I would play along with you guys for hours everyday, until I eventually started improvising over you, and that taught me so much about music. I don't wanna understate it you basically taught me guitar. Thank you.
I have seen alot of interviews in my day. Ive seen a few of Delonge and he is not an easy oe to interview at times, as his adhd can act up sometimes. I have to say not only was this one of the finest interviews Ive ever seen in general but one of the best for Tom. Great job Ted.
thank you for such a nice compliment!
Super excited for the BCR news.
Fantastic interview!!!
Wow. Amazing interview Stryker.
Tom's viewpoint on success was probably my favorite part.
"we’re all so consumed with being successful… but what’s successful about being overly exhausted? What’s successful about being away from your family? What’s successful about not getting along with your bandmates and not having a real life? Now compare that with someone who has a smaller house and is still making their art but gets to be home and take their kids to the park. Who’s the one who’s really successful?”
I love Tom so much
I fell in love with Tom again like million years ago
Tom is a legend, great interview 👏
Such a great interview!
I just found you yesterday because of the Fat Mike interview, but I have to say, I really enjoy your interviews. You are genuine and kind which means a lot. And you ask good questions and have good conversations. Thanks!
