Tom DeLonge Still Loves Blink-182 But Wants to be 'Challenged'

FUSE TV - Tom DeLonge Still Loves Blink-182 But Wants to be 'Challenged'

The ongoing battle between Tom DeLonge and remaining Blink-182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker seems like it has no end in sight. Did DeLonge leave on his own accord or was he kicked out? Is Alkaline Trio's Matt Skiba a permanent replacement? In a new interview with Esquire, we learn DeLonge still has room in his heart for Blink, but he likes to do a bunch of stuff at once (duh.)

He told the publication:

"I reflect on it all the time. I love Blink. I started that band. I named the band. I found the members. I put that whole thing together. I never meant for it to be the only thing in my life. I also never meant for it to ever not be in my life. But I am an artist, and I find pleasure in challenging myself to understand and learn, to create new types of art, and prove myself worthy of people's valued attention and admiration. It's what any artist desires. So when the challenge isn't there, then I find myself in a difficult position."
