Matt Skiba clears the air about Tom DeLonge’s return to Blink-182: 'I really am genuinely glad, as a fan of the band, that they’re a family again.' A conversation with justinmcurto
Matt Skiba hasn’t had time to dwell on the news. The now-former Blink-182 singer-guitarist has been in the Illinois suburbs for the past few weeks caring for his sick father. But after the triowould rejoin the band for a world tour, prompting speculation about Skiba’s future in the project, he wanted to “say something without making a huge deal about it.’”
I’d heard that there was an announcement, but I didn’t see it myself. I just saw what they had posted on blink182.com. When did that announcement come out?I promise I’m not being daft or cute. I’m really like a caveman, dude — I do not pay attention. And what’s today, Friday?Okay. So Mark texted me, I guess it would’ve been Sunday or Monday. But I didn’t see the text until — basically, I found out when everyone else found out, but it wasn’t their fault.
I’m so behind the times, bro. Genuinely, I’m a reject. But yeah. I got a message from Tom. I found out, maybe two hours ago, somebody said, “Hey, look what Tom posted on his Instagram,” which I was surprised to see. But yeah, I was really thankful for the text and I wrote him back and we had a really cool conversation.
Now that you’ve been back on the road in the last year or so with Alkaline Trio too, how does an Alkaline Trio show compare to a Blink show? ] Oh! Good, okay, great. Yeah, politics is none of my business. That sounds like some weird random shit I would say. It’s funny. I hadn’t listened to the Strokes in probably a year, and I just listened to them right before we talked. It’s one of my favorite of their records,. Love that record. “Welcome to Japan,” it’s one of my favorite songs.
Related to that, were there more Blink songs that you had worked on, that you were, or maybe are, hoping could come out at some point?
