TD: I broke my back years ago and got spun out on all these narcotics, so when we were making the first Angels & Airwaves record [We Don’t Need to Whisper] all that stuff kind of exploded and I went out into the press with all these crazy things and all this controversy erupted.
BW: Because of something you said?
TD: Yeah, ’cause I went out and said [the band] was the second coming of Christ. But that’s what’s funny in the documentary; I was like, “If God came down I really, truly believe it wouldn’t be bigger than this record.” [Laughs.]
BW: Is all that behind you now?
TD: Yeah, it’s all behind me. But the documentary will shed a lot of light onto the meaning of this band and what we’re trying to accomplish and how it all stemmed from the breakup of Blink-182.
DeLonge went on to say that he hasn't had any contact with former bandmates Travis Barker and Mark Hoppus, now with (+44). (+44) issued their thoughts on DeLonge in 2005 with the song "No It Isn't":Lay rotting where I fall
I'm dead from bad intentions
Suffocated and embalmed
And all those dreams are cashed in...
...So please understand, this isn't just goodbye
This is I can't stand you
Well then. Seems like DeLonge has as much credibility as Axl Rose. Also seems like a Blink 182 reunion is dead in the water.
Speaking of reunions (or lack thereof), Alter Bridge guitarist Mark Tremonti has sworn off the idea of Creed getting back together, expressing as much irritation with Scott Stapp as everyone else in America. Too bad the guys from Extreme decided to join the reunion train.
New rule for 2008: before a defunct band reunites, there has to be a significant population of fans who want said reunion. On that note, apologies to the guys from Third Eye Blind, Smash Mouth and any other '90s band having trouble paying the bills.
+44 - No It Isn't
Angels and Airwaves - Everything's Magic
Alter Bridge - Rise Today
