Tom's solo career

UghhhHHHHHHH

The thing is, deep inside my heart I've been hoping they were maybe in touch privately, not besties but at least civil. Don't judge me. But Tom seems to be burning the absolute fuck out of these bridges.

There's a cockiness that obviously used to be charming but I feel he hasn't quite earned back yet. It's all built on this vague idea of being the wronged party.

The t-shirts. Let's sell merch with the phrase that people have been using to harrass my former best friends for the past 2 years, directly implying that they're the bad guys in this situation. Nobody thought that was weird?

Honestly the behaviour of Tom, his “management” and team (including his wife….I won’t forget the cover band comment, that told me all I needed to know about her) is abhorrent and a disgrace.

After everything first happened I didn’t despise Tom; I obviously found it appalling what he’d done but I didn’t despise him completely for it. But now after all that’s being said and done he has proved what a vile human he is and I truly hope the rest of the band “out” him with the truth about what I’m sure really went on.

His “management” is also really dodgy; I’ve noticed they’ve changed their name again this week. They were coalition music a couple of months ago, then bulletproof management for a month or so, now they’re trinity music management this week. Something weird going on there. The woman who runs it though I noticed yesterday has been pushing the “no Tom no party” line quite a bit too. Vile woman.

Without context it's fine. I don't think anyone would care if the phrase didn't originate from his supporters spamming Kasabian's social media with it and other nonsense since the day they announced his departure. Him claiming that phrase and effectively endorsing what they do just feels gross.

“No Tom No Party” was created by people to abuse the rest of the band, or mainly just Serge actually. The use of it now is exactly the same, it is a phrase to abuse Kasabian. That is a fact. Tom and his management are endorsing and encouraging the abuse of Kasabian.

What Tom said in that interview about Serge and the band is totally at odds to everything else that has been said and done by himself, his wife and management. There absolutely is malice. There’s also several digs at Serge throughout the rest of the interview (electronic bullshit, they’re my songs as much as Serge’s) so he even contradicts himself in that interview. He’s a wanker and “his” music is embarrassingly bad.

I’ve been a Kasabian fan since the first album, seen them so many times throughout the years and it is devastating to find out someone I used to adore is such a cunt. It’s definitely still raw and every time I listen to Kasabian with Tom’s voice it’s just triggering, and I hate that he’s ruined songs I loved.

Thank you for putting into words exactly how I feel. I knew from the moment the news broke about the assault, that I never wanted to see, or hear, Tom Meighan again, he sickens me. What he did, in front of a child, brings back too many memories of the times my step-dad assaulted my mum, and there is never an excuse for this kind of abuse.

I've mainly avoided posting in response to the comments from former Kasabian fans, on Kasabian's socials, other than to point out we can all just support whichever side (and there are sides) we wish without commenting on the other, as I find them juvenile and repetitive.

I find it bizarre that they consider it fine to mock the band for continuing, blaming them for Tom's departure, when the fact is they did what they had to do and it is Tom who caused all the issues. Also, I firmly believe that many of the short-notice cancellation of gigs in years gone by were highly likely to have been as a result of Tom not being in a fit state to perform, absolutely down to him.

I hope both can continue performing and that the fans can continue to support just Kasabian, just Tom, or both, as they wish.

The morons who continue with the "No Tom, no party" narrative can just fuck right off, silly little children.

I'm looking forward to there being more Kasabian songs in which Tom does not feature, then I'll be able to listen to them again.

By the way, what is the legal side of performing songs you didn't write? I assume the original writer, Serge, had to give some kind of approval? I might be wrong, though. But this whole thing with 'I'm moving on but keep singing old bangers' doesn't completely agree with me.

Yes it’s true ,maybe with all the gigs bar Leicester being poor sellers he hopefully realises that he isn’t as popular as what he thought and crawls back under that rock.
