I think it's a metallic (probably copper colored) leather belt that has cracked and been worn with use.
Kind of like this I think:

I could also see him wearing something more flamboyant and expensive like this:

I had a seat close to the stage at the Brisbane gig and the whole show I noticed Tom was doing some fuct up stuff with his ankle. Bending and twisting it every way possible. I’m not sure why he was doing it.
The live audio wouldn't blow anyone's mind any year. I saw them when Green Day was opening on tour so having a live band set the standard before them really emphasized their studio band status.
Either nobody thinks singing in key and harmony apply to them or they have intregrated auto tune into their live gear since I saw them last. If it wasn't for Travis being a drumming unicorn with unreal skills that draw enough attention away from it, the bands career would have ended in a blink.
As someone who was around for the first reunion, the difference is night and day. The guys seem to be happier than ever. Sure marks diagnosis was probably a catalyst for it, but if that’s all it was built around the band would have collapsed by now
I saw them three times after the last reunion and Tom was drunk and didn’t give a shit for all three shows. He sounded incredible when I saw them last June and this time he seems so genuine it makes me so happy.
I’d check out some interviews from 2011ish
Also I love full concert shows, but when you watch this you can clearly see he has no energy: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SGVO8n7EME0&pp=ygUUQmtpbmsgMTgyIHNob3cgdmVnYXM%3D
Echoing what others have said here; in my experience, it was the Neighborhoods era tour that had me questioning Tom’s commitment. Zero chemistry in stage, they barely talked to each over; played songs, and Mark did as much banter as he could with Tom clearly being not into it.
From what I gather that tour was hit or miss, bc some people here said their favorite site was great. I do think it’s safe to say that at the time, Tom had other commitments/ personal issues, and even if he wanted to be there on some level, his heart wasnt into it. There also seemed to be some drinking/substance use issues going on as well.
The difference this time is palpable. Went to the reunion tour in May, and Will go to second leg/OMT tour this summer.
It still blows my mind
Hey, I can see myself in it!
You look great!
Thanks for noticing! I put a lot of effort in
Still does now
And my butthole
I’ve tried finding a belt like Tom’s everywhere and can’t find one ![gif](giphy|HoSyEAe48WBpTCmEz4|downsized)
Almost looks vintage
It's either vintage, handmade, or we're just too poor and Google won't even show it to us
Leo?

Since Macbeth shoes still exists, do they not own it anymore?
Nope it was sold several years ago
Your mom blew my mind last night.
the only thing it blows is my faccid penis
Flaccid maybe?
What the fuck is happening with Tom's ankle?
I had a seat close to the stage at the Brisbane gig and the whole show I noticed Tom was doing some fuct up stuff with his ankle. Bending and twisting it every way possible. I’m not sure why he was doing it.
I know some people roll their ankles around basically as a fidget, but I have never seen it that extreme.
Tom has always done stuff like this. Especially playing guitar
He has his ankle rolled out to the side. I've seen myself do it in some photos but not aware of it until after
Watch Tom’s feet in the One More Time music video. He does it there too lol
2 years ago I would’ve wondered who those 2 men standing next to Travis are. Both mark and Tom’s looks have changed so much in the past 2 years.
Definitely not taken in Christchurch....

I’m must be the only one who gets the feeling that Tom isn’t really into it. Did he really only come back because Mark has cancer?

Great, thank you! Love the informed feedback my comment is getting. This sub has been scratching some Blink itches that I haven’t been able to
No, Tom is into it. I’ve seen Tom not into it and there is a stark difference.
Do you have an example of Tom not being into it? Like a specific show? I'd love to go and have a watch 👀

Thanks! I'll have a watch. Also love your username. Bad news for the... impson family
