In Conversation with Tom DeLonge ft. The Tom DeLonge Starcaster | Artist Signature Series | Fender

The catalog of music that Tom has created from Blink, BCR to Angels and Airwaves is mind blowing.

It's truly remarkable how Tom's journey can appear as a string of lucky, coincidental events, yet in hindsight, it's clear that it was truly destiny.

Tom is definitely "The Talent" when it came to the Blink days. Mark was "The Face", Travis was "The Wild Card", but Tom truly carried a musical vision.

Tom is the reason I picked up the guitar and will be forever grateful for that. Turning 40 this year and he is right blink 182 is about growing up

Tom is just a good soul I grew up with him Blink-182 4Evr❤❤❤

I could listen to Tom all day. the way he talks so passionately about everything and the songs he has given us with all his projects 🤩🤩

What he said about having one person say they enjoyed your set and they see something in your band is genuinely the best feeling. My band played Chiddfest last year with some huge bands such as the Hoosiers and some older ones like East 17, Black Box and Lemar. We played on the Friday night, and on the Saturday morning when we were heading to the showers a dude recognised us and said how he thought our set was fucking awesome as he loved pop punk music. And it just made our whole year, that one random guy at a festival 😭

As a huge Tom fan, and a proud Melbournite, I'm so stoked that the beautiful city of Melbourne plays a role in this awesome video.

This was masterfully filmed.

The voice-over at the start of this video is one of the most unintentionally Spinal Tap things I’ve heard in ages. “And when you open your mouth, and say words, words come out, and I say them, and they are heard, if there’s someone else there, and if there’s no one else there, they won’t be, but I said the words, so they were said, but what if I didn’t say them, or if I said something else, those would be other words…”

Tom's explanation of developing a work ethic at 8:36 really made me stop what I was doing and listen to it again. And again. And again. Pretty much sums up my life the last 2 years.

This person tells you that you can create your own reality, the world. Remember that.

It was an absolute honour to be involved in this doco & to be able to share my love of music & astronomy with Tom. The man is a pure gentleman & all class!

He’s pure soul and it’s always been the most beautiful attractive and inspiring thing to witness in this world.

His Stratocaster changed my life. It was the guitar I needed when I was a kid. Played one from 13-19 years old.

Tom is a real legend

5:55 he’s playing Carousel 😃

The impact that Tom and Blink have had on me and the world is immeasurable. Its been an awesome journey to watch and be a part of. The OG graffiti yellow strat was my first quality guitar when I was 15 and it absolutely changed my life.

When the Squier versions of these drop, the sales will be freaking incredible

I’m 23, so I grew up in the wake of the first Blink breakup. I got into Blink because of my sister. It’s insane how much of an influence Tom had on me as a kid, a teenager, and young adult. I picked up the guitar because of him. Started to think about the world in a certain way because of him. It’s different now; I still love Blink and Angels and Box Car and +44, but I’ve grown out of that phase of life where you’re so open to influence. I still credit this man with playing an irreplaceable role in my growing up.
