Angels & Airwaves Is Alive

2009-06-18 by PuddleSwimmer | 61 Comments
DeLonge has announced plans about his next Angels And Airwaves album which is also a film, Love. The film is being released for free and should be out by the end of this year.

Love, which started out being a documentary about creating their debut album in 2006, is as DeLonge describes it: "the biggest release of my life, the pinnacle of my creativity. It's super conceptual and highbrow in many ways, very artistic, very Stanley Kubrick."
Before you get too excited, he goes on, "But it's not a rock opera. It's a very modern version of what could happen when you blend the film industry and the music industry together in a very, very arty, kind of cool way with professionals involved all along the path."

DeLonge says that Love, the album, is heading toward being prog rock; "It's like blending Radiohead and U2 together with these kind of Pink Floyd movements."

He notices that his life is going to get "fucking crazy" but is not willing to compromise: "I'm totally down and excited to figure out how to make it all happen, 'cause in my life both of these [A&A and Blink-182] can be a very necessary thing."

Is it normal for them to say stuff like this and not follow up on it?

If by super-conceptual you mean super-sucktacular.
Tom needs to stop bullshitting around and be a little kid again with the rest of Blink. I miss those days.

This news made my day a little worse, more what Delonge says rather than the prospect of a new AA album.

WHY.

Ive seen terrible bands do things that make them even more intolerable, but THIS is disgusting. Now every time Im going to watch the Shining im going to think of fucking Tom Delogne comparing himself to Stanley Kubrick. Shit.

I look forward to this. People refuse to listen to the music just because of the man behind it. I say fuck it, let the music speak for itself.

People refuse to listen to it because he has made absolutely ridiculous claims such as this in the past, and failed completely and miserably.

I highly doubt this will even closely resemble 'prog rock'.

I also highly doubt this going to be as ahead of its time, or even be on time for that matter.
Perhaps if he can learn to sing from somewhere other than his nose.

hahaha I can't wait for the reviews so sputnik prog rockers can bash the living daylights out of this. Radiohead and Pink Floyd fanboys (I know there are hundreds of you here!) get ready!

weird.

i though blink was his silly shit.
and A&A is his serious shit.

cut him some slack guys. i'm positive its not going to be all tht great, but i'll give him a shot at this. its only his second album.

still, the whole film / pink floyd comparison / etc. is a bit far...

I just wish he'd release it and not be a faggot about it, saying it's going to bring world peace and give everyone a boner

Correct me if I'm wrong, wasn't he speaking similarly about the first album? And it turned out to be a pretentious bowl of curried wank?

so after reading these comments, I'm assuming theres no way in hell that it is going to be what they say it is?

because personally, that sounds pretty cool.

But he's just being a pretentious prick, right?

This album will REALLY suck. Hopefully it will be a trainwreck so that it is at least entertaining instead of crappy and boring.

I legitimately loathe Tom Delonge. I hate Blink. I hate Angels and Airwaves. I hate his douchey lip ring. There is nothing good about him at all.

Hah was it also the point where he adopted a full on live performance style that revolved solely on off pitch nasally vocals and sloppier than ever guitar playing.

Seriously, what world is this guy living in? Well aside from the one where he lives in a much bigger house than me and has millions of dollars...

I like how when theres a Blink article people are praising Tom and the band and acting like there the greatest thing ever, and then theres an Angels article and everyone is hating Tom and saying how much of an ass he is. This sounds like every other AVA album, over hyped to all hell just to then turn out to be bland, boring and totally forgettable.
