  • its his style its not out of tune

  • @spparkie1 If your 'style' sounds out of tune, you're doing it wrong.

  • @civicbud hahaha Ok then look for aol live sessions listen to ALL the live covers douche bag so I beg to differ If you think you can do it better you create a fucken band cheese dick , Then tell me FACT

  • Can't believe people are saying all this ... I've seen AVA twice nd his singing on this video is actually BETTER than when I've seen him!

  • its like he doesnt try hard enough, like he sings from his heart, but hes not trying heard enough to sing with the song. which is sucky

  • i garentee he was drunk cuz h sounds like this when hes drunk

  • i like his voice its unique. you can recognize it anywhere which i like. besides its not like he lipsyncs. =)

  • It's like he doesn't even try to sound like the song anymore:/ imagine how many more followers AVA and blink would have If he tried

  • I dont understand how people defend him.

    im a huge fan, and i admit he cant sing FOR SHIT live. at least nowadays, after the surgery.

  • yeah if you know tom delonge you know that is how he sings. Its not out of pitch or tune he does it that way on purpose i like it. I actually start to sing like that occasionally on accident haha but it is way more fun to be honest

  • in live concert his voice is awful, i have to admit that, but actually i like his voice

  • i know that hes not the best live singer, but what if he cant hear himself in the earphones well? thats bad..

    sry for my bad eng

  • its just soundcheck, he need to warm-up! 

  • Tom does suck at singing, don't try to defend him. His technique is awful and he thinks drinking covers up for his screw ups but makes him sound even worse.

  • If you even know who Tom DeLonge is, you'll know that he has always done this, even in Blink-182 and Box Car Racer shows.

  • It's gotta be a soundcheck... Besides, this song is hard to sing... The capo in on davids guitars 4th fret... It's pretty high..

  • @Zeroprobabilityvids it's actually on the 2nd fret, which makes the song moderate at best to sing.

  • I gotta be honest, when I first heard Tom singing like this I was thought it was horrible, but over the years of listening to him sing I have gotten used and this sort of sounds good to me now.

  • those bullshit jobs are what keeps this shit country running you fuck tard. and what keeps him famous. 

  • Big fuckin deal! He usually isn't spot on when he plays live, but it's not about his voice you thick skulled fucks. It's all about the message that AVA conveys, which is one of hope for tommorow and calmness. They're a pretty rad band if you look past what you see on the surface

  • you idiots can't be serious, now look i'm not trying to say that i'm a musical genious or anything or that i've made millions of dollars out of music as Tom has but what i will say is that even I could sing better than this no joke whatsoever and that this is one of THE single WORST vocal performances i have EVER seen and anyone who disagrees is kidding themeslves because they are a fan of delonge's work or past work. This singing SUCKS on every level.

  • @scraftonthebadger Okay I know this comment was from two months ago, but have fun singing on the big of a stage not being able to hear yourself exactly with all the music around you regardless of having a monitor. It's difficult. I haven't played for this many people or that big of a stage but I've played on big stages before and you find yourself occasionally going out of key. Tom's problem is he does that frequently because for one he is usually drunk or can't hear himself.

  • People Should Stop Hating Music Because they think the genre is "gay" n they are "total badasses". I'd rather you dislike it simply because you dont like it rather then because its not "Hardcore enough for you" cuz your a fuckin total awesome badass....high-five?

  • haha, he sounds like shit!

  • MAn wtf is that its all crap! Tom has and will always be better in blink-182 faggots and pussies will never meet up to what BLINK has done!

  • i actually think he is singing quite well on this....

  • just shows he dosnt use auto tune which iin my opinion makes a great singer

  • mabey hes gota sore throat

  • It´s his own style and I like it... he´s my favourite artist. Tom delonge writes the soundtrack of my life

  • Angels and Airwaves will never be better than Blink-182 neeeeveerr!!!

  • i don't get how this is out of key

  • agreed

  • nah, it just sucks...im sorry but if you have been playing professionally for as long as he has..you should fuckin be able to sound at least alright...i love blink and everything..this doesnt even sound like he is trying..or maybe he is idk...

  • i like it because it show that he really sings and isnt lip singing to a recording

  • Kay, but he could still at least sing on key. He can sing on key, he's been singing professionally since about 1994. The fact is he was just lazy, drunk, or both. I'm not going to give him credit for not lip syncing, because I'd guess that maybe 2 percent of people in the genre lip sync. LS is more of a teeny-bopper kind of thing. But lets be honest- for Tom, lip syncing would be way too much work haha. Gotta love him.

  • He almost never drinks with an AVA show...

  • didnt know that.

  • @WeSaySunrise  lets be honest....tom sucks.

  • I personally likes Tom voice

  • @ravenclawreject haha no its actually a lot more whinier now... back then he used to sound like a teenager in the middle of puberty :P

  • So what? It's stupid to think that only perfect singers should be able to sing. And atleast he's not lip syncing like most of the lame ass pop acts out there. It's still beautiful music.

  • lol thats not new.

  • 0:18 he is like "BRING IT BITCH" lololol.

  • I think this video should be called "Tom Delonge: Business as Usual"

  • thats how he sings. but i love his creativity to change the song a bit

  • @kenisinoregon hahahahahaha hes not trying to change the song he just cant find the pitch

  • Fuckin joke, you shouldnt even be postin ava videos thats how fucky u r, dont even show ur face

  • Comment removed

  • its cuz they are all auto tuned dumb fuck

  • You're calling me a dumb fuck? Look at your spelling before you start talking bitch. Look at this little prick trying to start something.

  • haha you dis him back with a joke about spelling. fuckin faggot

  • look this hole contravercy of Tom's voice out of tune after blink split in 2005 and he formed AVA all of their songs his voice had a wine in it and to bo honest if you a huge blink and AVA fan like me there amazing bands who gives a dam if he keeps singing like he does in AVA in blink there back together is all that matters and late this year AVA 3rd studio album will be coming out sooo looking forward

  • this is just like soundcheck though. and he sounds way better now anyway.

  • some people are so fucking stupid. blink is fucking awesome and angels are ok. but tom is truly all auto tune and production. the fact of the matter is he isnt that great at singing. people need to stop sucking his dick and thinking hes the greatest singer ever

  • he never seems to sing this song well live. He sounds fine with other songs though. I still love them!

  • Rofl, he's usually awful but thats ridiculous

  • He isn't the greatest live with AVA only because he ruins his voice by trying to do the whining think. With blink that was his actual real Punk-Rock voice but now hes kinda ruining the blink proformances by trying to whin so I hope he stops and he brings the real Thomas Matthew DeLonge voice back!!!!!

  • not that bad

  • eh, i've heard worse

  • He only sounds like cuz maybe his throat was sore from singing

    :P

  • he is not ou of tune, only sing different the original !!

  • Hes Alot Better Now!<3

  • phah wtf

  • he is not ou of tune

    i think this is awesome

    AvA is awesome

  • I love ava but a swear tom said queer oh here i am

  • sorry but in my opinion this sounds great and i totally agree with mfraser

  • it's also a different way of sing, not only "out of Autotune"......

  • This is not Tom out of tune and he is not butchering the song. It's his style. He sounds great, and puts his heart into it. Quite frankly, he's made millions of dollars making music while all of you go to your bullshit jobs. Perhaps you guys should look in the mirror before you criticize someone doing what he or she loves.

  • Amen.

  • @mfraser Wooooo that was one hell of a burn and I so agree with you before you make fun of Thomas Delonge look in the mirror first before you bastards judge

  • @mfraser yeah... he made millons of dollars singing in key with blink...

  • @mfraser I agree, this is not out of tune, it's just artistic freedom. he plays with the melody and it sounds really well!

  • @mfraser Believe me, I love tom and all his bands but this isn't good singing lol. He's not a great singer and using the incredibly cliche line "oh he makes tons of money" doesn't prove anything. I could list tons of talentless celebrities that make more money than he does. Some of the most talented and brightest individuals don't make headlines and aren't millionaires unfortunately. But before I receive too much hate mail, I DO LOVE Blink and AVA, just not his live singing as much.

  • @mfraser amen my friend

  • @mfraser OH...GOTCHA. the money makes it okay right? he's not SINGING the song a fucking synthesizer is. THIS VIDEO is proof that the guy cant sing a note and also proves that the album, as nice as it is to listen to, is fake. a computer made his voice sound sweet and angelic and heavenly and religiosly wonderful...he wait, its bullshit jsut like religion is. Maybe Delonge is a genious. making a parody of worship music.

  • @JulietsMan haha that's a long as speach.. :P no one cares dude, keep your negative opinions for yourself coz you're just wasting time typing bullshit.

  • He sounds so great in the recorded songs, what a shame he sucks live.

  • well this is what you are going to see with blink now .

  • not sure because when Tom is with Mark he's the funny gay one xD the one who we love <3

  • Tom you fucking suck with angels and airwaves it had a good run but give it up you just cant sing to this kind of music

  • wtf are you talking about?

    he can sing fine its one fucking time!

    hes alot better now!

    he used to drink and take pills back in early 2007! thats y he was so off!

  • he never ment to take those, he had surgery and the pills were pain killers

  • shut up faggot... nlo13 is right... AVA sucks

  • this is in 08

  • He Has A Great Voice Except For When Playing Live

  • the songs on the cd's are dubs they edit his voice so he sounds really good

  • looks like a tuning, equipment check kinda session..just guessing

  • he is great live in some places, has his good and bad days but this is badd, never seen him singing like this before, he sings great in indonesia with ava

    hope his singing is better with blink

  • Yeah, I'm a Tom Delonge fan, and I agree, he's pretty terrible live. Furthermore, AVA was just not that great live.

  • delonge's voice was always fine live, until sometime after the release of their last album. even before hand he sang fine, and suddenly he started singing low and it really took the credibility off their classic stuff when his voice was chipmunk like. still, delonge is great haha

  • LoL. Cant believe no one's there.

  • there was like no one there!

  • HAHA OMG BRUTAL

  • FUck u haters man Why bother waste ur tim if hes so "shit" , He sings perfectly fine, You probably couldnt do any better u know?

  • Shut up!!!! TOMs still awesome!!

  • hes improvising whilst singing !! he does it all the time with every song live

    im pissed with every1 who keeps saying

    'oh hes just shit now'

  • he's not just shit now, he's always been shit, he has a studio produced voice

  • yeah captiarider is right. he has only got a studio produced voice. even though he isnt that good live, i would still have enjoyed

  • watch videos from like 10 years ago, anything before box car racer, he started singing like shit after bcr

  • tom has a great voice.. he just doesnt bother live, especially when he gets tired on stage.. look at him recording vocals on we dont need to whisper.. its on the start the machine documentary! he sounds really good!! AVA #1

  • yeah, i notcied that too, ever since boxcar racer, hes started singing like shit, probably coz that was the time he started on the pain killers

  • i actually think its cauz after bcr he tried the whole "serious musician thing" and stopeed using an autotune on his voice... just a theory

  • whats an autotune?

    rofl

  • its a box you plug a mic into, set the key for the song and it makes your singing sound good

  • like a really quiet dub?

    i think i get you...

  • Not really a dub. A dub would be pre-recorded. Autotune actually takes your off-key singing as you sing it, processes it, and spits it back out in-tune.

  • yeah i know

    i get you...

  • Yeah i agree, he's always sucked live, theres one video where they play i miss you live and toms voice is pretty good, but yeah, im a huge delonge fan and even i know hes terrible live

  • watch any live performance, this man is not that taleted. His vocals aren't great but his live guitar work in B182 is really shockin....

  • When you improvise, you generally stay in tune...

  • I'm sick of people digging into Tom!

  • well if ur singing every night ur voice is going to get strained..so..its not really his fault..also..hes a pretty good singer..i think he has a good voice

  • Wow, he sounded really good when I saw them but in most videos people say he sings bad live, I thought he was really good!

  • thing is,

    1)no this isn't 'really' in key

    2) with that said, does it matter

    3) if you have ear plugs in (while playing those sorts of venues) you can barely hear yourself. the monitors kinda make it distorted for you

    utlimately leading to more of a challenge singing.....so no it aint pitch perfect, but it's fuckin hard to do and it doesn't really matter thaaaaaaat much.

    people can still enjoy it, if you can't then that's just your opinion.

  • hes fucking hammered you morons.

  • Tom always improvises while playing live....there is nothing wrong with his voice.

  • True that

  • Has it ever occured to you he does that on purpose?

  • why would anyone make themself sound bad live?? thats so stupid

  • out of key, yes. out of tune, no

  • same thing

  • isnt even out of tune you fuckhead

  • are you tone deaf??

  • HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH AHAHAHAHA

  • sucks sucks sukcs

  • lol, such a shity music

  • I just don't think tomn belongs in Angels and Airwaves, him, mark and travis had it all.

  • still it sounds better than Avril lavigne live

  • from whatever washing it has suffered.

  • ava is horrible live. you cant have "the best band in the world that will change the world" and be horrible live. there has to be a balance. the reason blink was so huge is because they were open about how they werebad live and that why we loved them =] and with that in mind it is also what helped make blink the amazing thing they were b4 they broke up. all this BS about AvA being "amazing" is purely BS. all you delonge clones with emo cuts can kiss my ass and try to fix your brain

  • his vocals like got worse live since ava, there's a vid of him covering down and it sucks honestly, blink is way better

  • remember...its prob somewhat cold...even tho its Nevada...it would be cold for californians lol

  • I'm thinking it was probably cold too..

  • personaly, that is not tom, that is thomas.

  • could it be that he said that in the urethra chronicles dvd?

  • yeah, i know that. im sayng that tom is crazy, funny and fun to be around. but tom now isnt realy like that. so it cant be tom, so i call the new tom, thomas

  • oh okay yeah that's true I think I gonna start call him Thomas Matthew xD

  • Nice! You recorded when he was practically talking! What about the rest of the song? Huh? This isn't even a real concert. It's just a little gig on New Years to relax. Look at his face. He isn't even getting into it. When he tries, he is amazing. Plus, this isn't terrible. I have seen worse.

  • nothing beats tom when his in blink -_-

  • I love how there is like 10 people at that concert

  • This is sad and as funny as it is its almost hard to watch. He threw away everything for something that flopped horribly and now he has nothing.

  • ava did not flop. they aren't as good or as successesful as blink but they didnt flop

  • no. his addiction to painkillers messed with his voice very badly. alot of people don't know that, but it happened ever since he had back surgery. he was prescribed strong medication, and from then on Tom was a different person, ultimately leading him to Angels and Airwaves, which I believe is the result of him being high as hell on painkillers at the last Blink concert, causing him to have an epiphany and to end the greatest pop-punk band in existence.

  • yeah i didnt know what was going down till i watched the start the machine documentary and it talked alot about that

  • age is just a number

  • hes not only not that good, he is awful. anyone can sound good if they record it over and over until its perfect, then produce the hell out of it. this is absolutely horrible. I saw this live and was embarassed to have liked tom delonge in the past. inexcusible! this is like an american idol episode. he would be ridiculed so bad on that show haha.

  • You are sad.

    His lyrics are full of meanings, if you are forever stuck in the blink182 world, you are immature. people grow. I'm not saying blink sucks, but AVA compared to blink is a real inspiration band.

  • haha. im sad and stuck in the blink world? i havnt been there a long long long time. no. after dude ranch they died in the ass. it happens. i dont hate them for it. i still listened to and liked there stuff though. just something wasnt right. yeah people grow. into amazing people sometimes. into dickheads other times. hmm.. everythings magic ey.. thats pretty inspiring. heres a tip for tom and ava. ambience does not make crap music epic or inspiring. it never will

  • well said and i agree

    so should everyone else

  • fuck you nothing beats blink 182

  • he inspires almost everyone apart from you.

    so shut the fuck up.

    people have diffrent opinions.

  • I think he's inspiring.

  • angels and airwaves only can inspire good people, people with good feelings, positive people. All people that insults angels and airwaves is only young people without brain that only want get drunk, take drugs and do stupid things. And maybe its good,Blink was about that (happy music for youth), but ava is more than thisand we all must respect this masterpiece

  • YOUR RIGHT except for the young people part im 14 and i love this band

  • I think it sounds fine. He just makes all them wierd intervals to put a different spin on it live. Plus he's probably used to people singing along so he doesnt to focus on vocals that much. personally, I've seen him do worse.

  • yea you're right, hi has done worse other times, but I think that yea maybe its because he's used to sing it so many times that maybe he wanted to change a little the song, like messing with the tempo of the song

  • he* not hi lol

  • every lead singer know what they're doing cause he is the own captain of the ship.have you thought of that tune,melody,lyrics etc? if yes then good for u,create an your own album so that you have something to put on youtube. if u dont like how tom sings then dont listen to him ok,and who told you to listen to him anyways...man if he sings terrible and still sell tickets then poor you...respect man.

  • Makes me wonder if when they were recording their album.. Tom ever thought "you know.. I'm going to have to sing this live one day or another."

  • Yikes. I love AVA, but Tom needs to improve his singing live. His vox are astounding on their albums, but sadly I think that's because of a genius invention called 'pitch correction'.

  • Cant U Tell He Knows He Sounds Horrible In That Concert

    He Looked away Like Three Times After Every time He Was Out Of Tune

    He Struggled During wdntw

    BuT He Has ImProved So Much Since I-Empire

  • thats because he got off his addiction to pain killers

  • when he sings he sounds kinda like a kid but he usually pulls it off in blink 182 but he totally killed it there

  • talk about lack in intensity...i had more people rock up for my 5th birthday party :P

  • i agree. yes, tom delonge has never been an amazing singer but if you look at a lot of bands now a lot of their singers are now that good. some singers maybe there not good but that's just their style and people love them for it. he's probably just sick or something. and all the people leaving the bad comments i bet you cant even sing half as good as tom and if youre just gonna talk shit about him then dont post it! i do not think this video should have been posted. everyone has their bad days.

  • exactly..whats funny is that tom could sing worse and he would still sell out shows cause hes so amazing
