"At this point my main issue with Tom is that he hasn't quit, he's asked blink to wait around for him because he's too busy. The problem with that is that he's over committed himself, committing to recording with blink and then backing out at the last second because blink was going to require him to actually focus and follow through with them. Saying "I'm all of a sudden too busy for all of 2015!" while also doing press interviews saying that you're going to record a new blink record this year (and telling your band members that you're down for recording with them)...it's disingenuous at best. He told the band one thing and then made his schedule so full that he couldn't fulfill his end of the bargain. He created his own scheduling conflicts, he has complete control over all of his AVA/To The Stars stuff, he should have worked those around his blink obligations. That's assuming he actually wanted to do blink stuff, which his actions seem to indicate that he wasn't interested in doing..." - Sam Houston
