AimieeSmith Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Somebody made a really good video of how Green Day would sound if Tom played with them. Check out the amazing tone below ! What's your opinion on the sound ?
Christian's Inferno! Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 He'd probably quit to go chase after UFO's
The Grohl Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 I don't think he'd fit. Something about his singing and writing style doesn't gel with Green Day.
That Dude Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 no no no no no no no no no no no no. Tom used to be the co-vocalist of my #7 favorite band, but now that he's gone...I don't miss him at all. I tried not to take sides on the split, but even with personal feelings put aside and just judging by the music, Mark and Travis make better music and write better lyrics. +44 are freaking #3 on my all time favorite list.....Transplants are #5! Other than Box Car Racer (#16!) Tom hasn't made any music that I can even tolerate outside of Blink. Maybe one from his solo album but that's about it. Oh and while I'm on a numbers kick, he was replaced by the co-vocalist of my #39 favorite band! This video was awesome, don't get me wrong. Would he also be singing or would he be in the Jason White position? What a nightmare that would be if Tom became the singer for Green Day....... Blink-182 would be kind of awesome with Billie Joe singing and playing lead though. I could even see Mark and Travis replacing Mike and Tre in Green Day, as controversial as it would be. (and their names sound similar to Mike and Tre, hahaha!) but DO NOT under any circumstances put Tom in Green Day. Keep him out of any of my favorite bands from now on, please. I tried to be nice, but I really don't like Tom. In real life, he's probably a nice guy. We don't know exactly what happened in Blink, it could have just as much Mark and Travis as it was him. But.....+44, Transplants, all the songs I've heard Mark sing guest vocals or lead vocals on are excellent. Even Travis makes good decisions on who to guest-drum on and I hope one day to hear him sing!!!! And I've tried and tried to give Tom a chance......I bought all the Angels and Airwaves albums and listened to them again and again......it was torture.
Sanity Loan Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 "X-Kid" and "Natives" The whole thing is a dumb comparison to make. Blink's music is was structured to include the melodic guitar parts where as Green Day's music relies heavily on power chords for the melody.
Christian's Inferno! Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 I think you guys are taking this video too seriously. This video isn't some comment on Green Day or Blink. It's basically an experiment or fusion of their musical styles and was imo executed pretty well
Hermione Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 I don't take the video seriously. Imagining Tom DeLonge being in Green Day after reading the title simply sent a chill to my spine

greendepent Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 I'd dislike the band because I hate that kind of solos. Sounds terrible
Eva Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Blink and Green Day are vastly different bands and while a couple of their songs may mash together well, their overall tones and styles would definitely not go well in the long term. If you listen to a lot of Tom's side projects, too, you can see it's not even Blink's style - it's Tom's. He would never be able to pull off anything with Green Day that comes anywhere close to resembling a coherent composition.

This thread was opened to give our opinions on it, so we're doing just that.
AlissaGoesRAWR Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 If you think you can't understand what Billie's saying half the time, imagine how bad Tom would be...
龑美優 Posted May 30, 2018 Posted May 30, 2018 Even if his obnoxious voice wasn't a part of the band, he is a very sloppy guitarist. He writes catchy riffs... but he can't play them very well.
moonflower93 Posted May 31, 2018 Posted May 31, 2018 i like blink. i like green day. it won't gel right.
