Angels & Airwaves Options

[bobbster]

angels & airwaves is a new band that tom delonge of blink 182 started after blink broke up. he's been saying things about "the greatest rock band" and the "second coming of Christ" the angels & airwaves cd will be accompanied by a movie. it's like a documentary movie with a love story and the band? heck, i don't even know what it is.

i'm a bit skeptical of this and i think he's a bit too confident. it's sad because i liked blink a lot and the other band members, mark and travis, have started a new band together. tom hasn't spoken to either of the guys since the break-up and they were the bestestestest of friends.

that sucks. i liked them too. their oldschool stuff was awesome, their last album kinda sucked though, it wasn't as great as their old stuff. i did'nt think they'd break up until i heard about that indefinite hiatus. after that i knew it wasn't just gonna be a break, more like a break-up.

[angelrevelation]

i'm not that familiar with old blink 182 stuff... but the little music sound bites sound pretty good

i am confused.... they're a band. what are those clips for? i feel like they're trying to brainwash me... like ppl are always saying music does.

[LuvsDogs387]

I'm psyched about the album and the movie. I've already previewed two of their songs and they sound amazing. I cant wait. I was upset about the break up too, but after listening to Tom on a podcast it's understandable as explained he needed more time with his family. And I know I'll also love Mark and Travis' new band Plus44 as well.

And to bobbster, I don't think he sounds too confident. That thing about the second comming of Christ is obviously a joke. I mean common, its Tom for crying out loud!

[parallel]

I searched, no results...well not really.

Anywayyy, anyone heard of em? My brother is basically obsessed with the band and has been supporting them ever since they launched their site, well because he was a loyal blink fan for as long as I can remember
They're a really good band so search them on myspace or go to their website.
And just in case you didn't know, Tom Delonge, one of the lead singers and guitarist from Blink 182 started the band and is the lead singer. Such a beautiful voice

Okay well, nuff with the recommendations. I'm seeing them tonight in San Fran, so yea. I'm pretty excited.

Topics merged.

i downloaded the new album a couple of weeks ago but i haven't gotten a chance to listen to it. but i saw their music video and they sound pretty good. sort of different than blink but yeah.

[x__rilind]

i adore 'the adventure'.

i heard it on the radio a few weeks ago, and seriously did a double take. i recognised the voice, but it was a good bit different from blink's usual stuff, so i wasn't sure until the deejay explained.

[parallel]

^Yea, when I heard it on the radio I was a bit shocked and kind of upset because I knew a bagillion people would know about them just from that, hah.

Yea I have the CD, it's way good. Listen to it.

And btw, they're so awesome live, no joke. I saw them last night in San Fran at the Music Hall and wow.
Try to buy tickets to their shows before they get realll big, because it's so worth it. Tom is amazing live.

[x__rilind]

oi. i finally saw the video for 'the adventure' this evening. i definetly like it. and Mr. Delonge looked quite nice as well (down hormones, down.)

[parallel]

^I KNOW.

He's really cute in person too and he does little dances on stage and ohbabyyy.
Hahah.

[angelrevelation]

even if there are so famous ppl... if the band is just starting out why did they spend so much money on the fancy website?

anyways, the music sounds good. sounds really epic/movie-ish or maybe that's just cuz of the website... with all the space stuff and everything

[*Kathleen*]

Their CD comes out soon, no? They're going to be touring with Taking Back Sunday, too.

[parallel]

^yyea, I was upset when I found out that TBS wasn't gonna be at the show I was going to, but it turned out good anyway. I forsure am gonna go to the one in San Jose when they come back and TBS is gonna be there. BUY YOUR TICKETS PEOPLE!! They ARE getting popular, and FAST.
So go :D

Well Tom is also making a movie, so his new stuff has to be nice :D Which it is...

[*Kathleen*]

A MOVIE? Oh God.

[Chii]

How did you people get the new cd? It's not even out yet...

I heard one of their songs during the credits of some show on MTV and it got me interested. I might get their CD when it's released on the 23rd.

[kill.t3h.r0cK]

I thought their cd was coming out in another week or two this month? Is it out already? I bought tickets to see them with Taking Back Sunday at Six Flags, so I can't wait. June 22, yay!

From The Adventure, I think their album is going to be pretty suh-weet.

[*This Confession*]

yea i like some of their songs
you can really tells its the guy from Blink 182
but thats why i like them so much

where just lucky
thats how we get the cds
before they come out..

[parallel]

^Exactly ;D

And yea, Tom made a movie and I guess there are some big stars in it. My brother is like, obsessed so he finds out EVERYTHING possible about them. Hah yea I know

The good thing about having the CD before everyone else is that you know the songs wayy before they do [[: Makes you feel special, hahah. Also comes in handy when you're at their shows.

But ok, they started selling AVA shirts in Hot Topic. So go look :D

[*This Confession*]

pshh chyea.

I get a ton of albums earlier..
But i don't like it when a ton of people like the bands i like
so i find out about them when their like not big at all
and watch them get bigger.
i love it.


now anyway..

&runs to hottopic.com;

[parallel]

^YES I KNOW HOLYCRAPG;LKAHGK;J

That's why I was extremely pissed off when I heard The Adventure on the radio and I saw two shirts from them in Hot Topic.
I mean, I understand that they need to spread the word and whatnot, but it just bugs me sooo freaking bad. Then all those real lame people find out about the band and kill it by trying to sing the song or trying to rep. the AVA shirts :/
Makes me wanna cry, seriously.

[570L3Nxh34r7]

^ in regards to above..

thats what bands do. they get bigger so they can make money. i'm sure there's someone who found out about them before you and is pissed that you found out too ^__^

lol i just got their album today! i knew that tom went into a new band and all but i didnt realize it was this band till like now.

i adore them already

I've only heard The Adventure, I think they sound good.

Just because someone is introduced to a band/an artist's music awhile after they started doesn't make them any less of a fan than you. Are we supposed to research every band out there or try to dig up every unsigned or not famous yet band first?

I hate how people hate on others like that. I didn't even know who SOAD was until I saw a poster of them in my darling's room and heard a song by them a few months back. I wasn't exposed to music too much when SOAD started out. Does that make me incapable of being a true fan?

It's unfair to say those kinds of things.

[*CrackedRearView*]

I hate to put a damper on the mood, but mark my words: this band will flame out very quickly.

I agree

I doubt it. Have you even heard their music? They already had a small set of concerts and every show sold out within minutes, not hours, but minutes.

Give me a little bit of credit here; I know you don't know me, but rarely do I post on a subject I'm uninformed on. Of course I've heard Angels and Airwaves, they get a lot of play on our local AAA station, but I still think that it's going to be a dying fad and people will get sick of A&A and want Blink-182 back.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

I herd of them ..

There pritty rad :-)

[iminlovewithTomD...]

Yeah man! Angels and Airwaves rocks... of course that's because anything with Tom Delonge in it rocks... ahh, such an awesome guy!!

Ohdangg, for all I know I could've been standing right next to you.
Oh did you see the kid who got up on stage [he was the first kid to do it] and he got up there with Daredevil Jane? I was right next to him! But yea.

So the CD is out and my brother was SHOOM at the store, it was weird but hey, lovers of the band would understand right? Yup [[:

So did anyone else buy it?

[Heartless Hero]

okay well...no offense or anything

but vocalists make a band known RLY well.

especially when you can understand em.

and angels and airwaves just sounds like...

an emo blink 182.

i love blink though <3

[bobbster]

heyy! i sooo made a thread on this already x] ohwell.

did anyone else catch them on 7th avenue drop? hahahha tom delonge was making weird body movements. i don't like the repetitive lyrics in the songs and tom still does weird things with his voice, but it's all good the songs are undeniably catchy and it's not too different from blink. i've listened to most of the album and it sounds good so far. i esp. like a little's enough and it hurts.

Yeah I saw the kid who got up there...sorry but the way he was dancing he looked like such a dork But its all good as long as it was fun Oh and thanks for the bands name, I couldn't remember! I had one of their pins but lost it.

by the way...I was thrown on stage tooo ya know It was like right after AVA came on stage. Probably during the first or second song. But it was for more safty reasons than anything else

I got the CD on pre-order. It came with some macbeth shoes I've already listened to the album like a million times

[Hannarr]

Angel and Airwaves = Amazing!

Tom Delonge is the sex

[[Mediocre]Artist]

Well Blink 182 was something I'd listen to and go, "Hey I really really like this!" then forget. I like Angels and Airwaves much in the same way. I'm not digging the tight emo jeans and the hair, but I'll live.

[LookingInKeyHole]

i love them

[*I Shot JFK*]

I've only heard The Adventure, I think they sound good.

You only have to hear the adventure. all teh rest of it sounds exactly the same

utter let down.

[LuvsDogs387]

You only have to hear the adventure. all teh rest of it sounds exactly the same

no they don't

[*I Shot JFK*]

^ yes, they do.

i hate people like that. congrats on knowing about a band before other people. that means nothing to me or anyone else. NO ONE CARES! seriously. people complain that "their favorite band that no one knew about" is now famous and now they cant like them because everyone knows about them. big effing deal. you liked them at one point, so why the change? get over it. people are going to find out about bands and a band isnt just going to sit in the shadows so only 3 people know about it. i could carry on typing about how bad this pisses me off when people do it, but i wont, just for you sake.

[LuvsDogs387]

^ yes, they do.

no. they don't.

[*I Shot JFK*]

yes, they do.

[*Weird addiction*]

^ LMFAO. Anyways I'm obsessed with A&A.

[LuvsDogs387]

yes, they do.

no.

do they have the same lyrics? no. do they have the same or even closely related melodies? no.



THEY DON'T!

[*Weird addiction*]

^ HAHAHAHA.

[*I Shot JFK*]

no.

do they have the same lyrics? no. do they have the same or even closely related melodies? no.
THEY DON'T!

yes, they do.

self-idulgent and trivial. should have stuck with boxcar racer.

[gotta get out of...]

I MIGHT GO TO SEE THEM WITH THE SUBWAYS AND TAKING BACK SUNDAY. GOOD ALBUM.

[The Nocturnal Ph...]

I AM going to go see them with Taking Back Sunday, The Subways and Head Automatica! & I get to go on rollercoasters.

Gonna go thursday to Six Flags Great Adventure. w00t!!!

[kewl loser kid]

You only have to hear the adventure. all teh rest of it sounds exactly the same

no it doesnt.

[*I Shot JFK*]

^ yes, it does.

[LuvsDogs387]

no it doesnt.

THANK YOU!

yes, they do.

self-idulgent and trivial. should have stuck with boxcar racer.

Instead of saying all ava songs sound alike so they suck, try saying "I like boxcar more because I don't care for the tone of ava." In all fairness the songs do not sound alike and don't even have the same subject matter. Each song has a great contrast from the next.

Don't become a critic...of anything. Logical thinking doesn't suit you.

[The Nocturnal Ph...]

Ooh.. Burn.

But Angel & Airwaves songs don't sound alike...

[*I Shot JFK*]

in all fairness, i didnt say that they suck. just that they all sound the same. which is true.

and anyway, the content doesnt have any bearing on what the song sounds like in terms of presentation. i mean, obviously he is singing different words, im not stupid.

and if i had been TRYING to give a critical appraisal, i would have gone into more detail. but i see no reason to waste however long listening to the whole albm again when i can just listen to one song and get the idea.

[Augustine]

Okay here goes a blast from the past - hopefully some of ya are old enuff to remember this movie Bill & Ted's Excellent adventure - but after hearing Angels and Airwaves it kinda reminded me of the Wild Stallions saga in the movie - LOL

But in all seriousness - as a graphic and commercial artist i dig music that gets me pumped up to work and gotta say this entire album does that and more - now all we gotta worry bout is ifa time traveling fone booth appears and we see them do some interstellar peace treaty thru music - LOL - and folks this is meant to be funny don't take me all serious

but i suggest this album big time to give a listen to

aug :)
