Barker lashes out at Tom Delonge, conspiracy

While previous statements haven't been entirely cordial, the latest interview has ex-Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker lashing out at his former bandmate.

Besides Tom Delonge, Barker has some ire for Jordan Schur, the former president of Geffen Records who he describes as having a "conspiracy":

Like the owner of your record label telling you, 'Oh, everything is going to be fine. Any press you do, Travis, make sure you say everything is cool!' And it turns out the same dude is part of the conspiracy of Tom quitting Blink. The only reason we were being cool and calling it an 'indefinite hiatus' is because that's what this dork at the head of our record label was telling us. So that's when you find out that everyone was conspiring against you.

As for Delonge, he adds:

Tom didn't call, but his manager did, and he said that Tom couldn't contain his shit long enough to play a song for people who were suffering, which was pretty sad to me.

The band features Blink 182 members Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker as well as guitarists Craig Fairbaugh (of Mercy Killers, ex-Lars Frederickson and the Bastards/The Forgotten) and Shane Gallagher (the Nervous Return).

The band recently announced the dates for their first major tour.
