    Cant wait for the new album, and have been a huge fan of tom since i was a kid. Great interview as well Because i find it so interesting i do need to correct one thing that was said; how tom explained the double split experement was a but misleading. It wasnt based on thinking of what slit it went through, its the fact that when observed (watching the photon go through the slit) the photon would act as a particle. However, when not observed, it behaved like a wave. Its pretty wild tbh, but if it was what tom said that would be next level

"Stay together from the kids?' still makes me cry at 52 years old. Reminds me of when he left at 13. "Adams song" and the might " Miss You"?? after my brother died , I MISS HIM> that song crushes me.

It's the top 1% rich assholes that are destroying this planet we have. What tom described spiritually is what I learned growing up. I'm native so naturally I'm very spiritual.

    Can't blame him for leaving that band to go out and chase UFO's... They should have all joined up outside of the music to all go after aliens together. Now !! And I think I've just written the first line for their next song. Can anybody else hear me ?? The riff is really out of here too yo xx
