Nicely done. I like what you guys did with the bridge. Good work.

[QUOTE=dancetomdance182]It must suck for you to d/l music.[/QUOTE]It does, which is why I usually just buy the CD...it may cost more (duh) but it also means I supported that band and that if they can't make CD's anymore because of funds, I know I'm not the reason why.

For everyone who listened to the song, there might be confusion, its not my band or anything, just saw it on purevolume.

Bah! You suck :angry:

:rolleyes:

O well, thats still a sweet song.

Was I the only person, who didn't think it was his band?

I didn't.

It's pretty good though.

[QUOTE=dancetomdance182]I'll post the article:
Tom Delonge has spoken exclusively to Kerrang! about his new project Angels and Airwaves.

In his first interview since Blink 182 announced in February of this year that they were taking an 'indefinite hiatus', Delonge has revealed how he was inspired to get a new band together while the punk-pop trio were touring Europe at the end of last year, in support of their last self-titled album.

"Just before all the blink 182 **** happened when we were in Europe, i has a really wierd epiphany," Delonge confesses to K!, "My heart was beating about 100 miles a mintue for three weeks straight and it had never happened to me before in my life. I really felt like i'd been touched by something and i felt i was meant to do something massive."
Delonge started working on the fourthcoming Angels And Airwaves album which is expected to be released in April, shortly after blink went on hiatus. Recording took place in the Foo Fighters' Los Angeles studio. "As the new record started coming together, it was so beyond my expectations," he says. "I honestly think that people are going to flip out when they hear this. I'm not even joking right now, it's so good. It's so much better than anything i've ever done and i think people will suspect God came down and wrote half of it!"

"It sounds like it has the conceptual depth of Pink Floys, the anthemic architecture of U2 but with Tom from blink writing all the melodies," Delonge adds. "All the songs are very cinematic, anthemic and epic-sounding. The music sounds angelic. Every song gives you the chills and you feel like you want to cry but you're conquering the world at the same time. It sounds like stadium rock done by a band that's meant to be the absolute biggest band in the world."

Angels and Airwaves also includes guitarist David Kennedy (Boxcar Racer/Hazen Street) and drummer Atom Willard (Rocket From the Crypt/ The Offspring). At the time of the interview, Delonge couldn't announce the name of the bassist, but internet reports last week stated that Ryan Sinn formerly of The Distillers, has joined AAA.

A DVD is also currently being made, which will accompany the band's forthcoming debut album.
"The movie is a third documentary, a third love story and a third CGI," he explains."It's the story of the album, which is the story of the break-up of one of the biggest bands in the world and the creation of the world's greatest band.

"We're currently making the CGI sequences and we're working with one of the leading art supervisors of 'Star Wars'. It's incredible stuff," Delonge adds. "The documentary part is about me, my life and creating the new band and the love story is about a girl that's on drugs and a guy that's running from his life and they come in contact with the music and it changes them. The whole idea is that even though there is struggle in your life you can find happiness and love within the worst of times."

The frontman is feeling extremely confident about his new band's potential, even going as far to suggest that his former bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker, who have formed a new band called Plus 44 together, will be disgruntled when they hear the album.

"When i sat around planning this, i thought, 'Not only am i going to be back but i'm going to be about 10 times bigger that i ever was. I feel like there's nothing that can stop me," he says. "All the bands say that they're going to be the biggest band in the world but no-one has any idea what i'm doing. Once they find out, they're all going to say, '****, ****! We've got a lot of work to do. When this band lands on the world next year, it's going to be like the second coming of Christ!"

"I always though Blink 182 was my life but i've realised that it wasn't, it was just the first stepping stone," Delonge admits "I've heard Plus 44 and it's totally different to what I'm doing. They (Hoppus and Barker) are amazing musicians but i wouldn't want to be in their situation when this record comes out next year. That's how confident i am about this."[/QUOTE]

I've just spent the last hour or so reading all the articles and stuff u guys posted and now im really exited about this band. Personally, i believe all the stuff Tom is saying about it - I cant wait for the album to come out (when is it coming out again? - April?)

Tom - "when I say I'm the "second coming of Christ", just remember, I also said the last Blink record was going to create world peace"
- that's what I thought about the last Blink record - I bet every song by AvA will be like "Not Now", "Violence", or "Letters to God"

Oh, well screw you then.

[QUOTE=10571z]i thought so i think its just a recording studio who got some people together :)[/QUOTE]
Yeah, by the looks of the website thats what it is....none the less it's currently on my Mp3 player so it's gotta be at least kinda good....

i think ava will be dissapointing nothing can be that good as he has described :upset:

[QUOTE=10571z]i think ava will be dissapointing nothing can be that good as he has described :upset:[/QUOTE]

I bet your wrong, because you usually are. I think their going to be pretty good.

If you collect all of Tom's decent songs (There Is, Not Now, Letters to God...etc) it is awesome.

[QUOTE=pazz_10]I bet your wrong, because you usually are. I think their going to be pretty good.[/QUOTE]

hahaha dont get me wrong dude ino there gunna be good ... but im not sure if there gunna be the biggest rock band and the most popular band and like second comming of christ and like all that stuff

Of course its not going to be the best in the world or anything.

He's just messing around saying that to show he still has humour in him and stuff.

But then again, it's another way of saying that he's proud of what hes made and it's going to be good.

or to make everyone curios so more people will buy the album???

You think people are going to think it'll be the best in the world?

I doubt anyone is going to think that just 'cause he said it. It is his [I]own[/I] music.

I think AVA will go mainstream, i checked their myspace out and there's tons of fanboys/girls already.

yeh like 5000.... but i dunno im really curios i cant wait... plus 44 will be good as well...

Guys just to let you know Carousel is going to be on the Greatest Hits album.

[URL=http://loserkids.com/product_information.asp?PRODUCT=ADLOBD006&TYPE=&index=1&total=25]Look here[/URL]

i wanted to be there wasting time :(

AVA just catches my attention more, I doub't plus 44 will be better than AVA. But who knows.
Carousel, better be on it.

So, does anyone know who is all in Plus 44 other than Mark and Travis?

[QUOTE=telecaster67]So, does anyone know who is all in Plus 44 other than Mark and Travis?[/QUOTE]
Theres some girl, i forget her name, she plays guitar and vox.

[QUOTE=dancetomdance182]AVA just catches my attention more, I doub't plus 44 will be better than AVA. But who knows.

There's been more talk on AVA, plus Tom was probably the most popular member of Blink, and he's advertised it more, and said a lot more about it thant Mark and Travis have.

GO TO BLINK182.com there a new intro to the site its awsome!

[QUOTE=10571z]horray :thumb: ..... it would be chesire version i reckon[/QUOTE]

I like the Buddha version of Carousel more, but there probably going to do the Cheshire Cat Version.

Also, i liked how they updated the site, it's pretty cool.

I've always liked Mark's Singing more than Tom's. I didn't like Tom's at all in fact. But I'm not partial to female singers, and I love the offspring, so I'm more excited for AVA.

I know this is a noobish question, but did Tom ever actually announce a date/time period for when the album might be out? I just know he said he was almost done.

Awhile back, dancetomdance182 (lol i got the name correct this time) posted an article that said it was coming out this spring.

Is that American spring? That means Australian autumn yeah?

[url]http://www.plus-44.com/board44/index.php[/url] -->here's the plus-44 message board on theier site, the home page is pretty sweet([url]http://www.plus-44.com/[/url]), put your mouse over the picture or them.

[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I generally prefer Mark's singing too although Tom's is better in certain cases. I have to say I'm more excited for Plus-44 just because I like Mark, and secondly, Tom is the one who ended blink. I'm looking forward to AAA a lot, but I have to say I'm kind of disappointed in him.

Im glad it's on there the only thing I have to play to it is the live version! :upset:

Anyone know how I can get my hands on the box car racer songs: [I]Dance with me[/I] and [I]Mandy[/I]? I've tried a few downloading programs but couldn't find them.

Yea, go carousel! Wicked cool....

i had the live version of that on a disk i cant find it!!!!
