  • He uses a mxr flanger in the beginning

  • Actually i think this his genuine voice

    Like if he really was bad at singing you'de be able to hear it in the auto tune cuz it would signal 3 diff notes trying to find the correct one so i recon this is Live ..Live .

    The only effects he has is delay

  • The beginning gives me goosebumps everytime.

  • AMAZING PERFORMANCE!

  • I love this intro to this song. The concert I went to they just went straight from Love Like Rockets to the main song like it was the same song. It was awesome, but I still kinda wish they would've done this.

  • Tom sings so much deeper here!

  • can some one PLEASE help me out with tom's intro riff?

    i know there is delay but i can't seem to figure it out b4 the delay.

    is this close?

    d8 d9 g9 g8 d9 d9 g8 g11 d9 ?

  • Drum sound like shit ! :O

  • Omg i have the same bass as matt :DDD!!!

  • Try to follow:

    I think Tom is a good singer because he's a bad singer.

    Much more enjoyable to listen to.

  • @Icantfindanamelol i see what you mean :D people go on about his voice he hits the notes in recordings but his voice isnt special and to me its easier to relate to it might just be me though...

  • Who else loves Atom's smile while he plays? lol :D AVA FOVEVER!

  • Comment removed

  • I wanna have the same last dream again

    The one where I wake up and I'm alive

  • he sounds so goofy on the second verse haha

  • 6:30 Davids like Damn we did good.

  • ppl migh no notice this but tom is actually a genius on guitars

  • Let's be honest people. we're here cos we love Tom Delonge. we love him for his "dick" jokes, his great songwriting and the fact he's awesome. we love him cos he's a good guy, and yes he's NOT the best live singer, but we KNOW this, he wasn't perfect in blink, and he's not perfect in AVA. but we KNOW this. and we still love him. he doesn't WANT to sing perfectly, he wants to sing how he likes, and that's what he does. he's made a career of playing "crappy rock" and singing bad, and it's worked!

  • Two things I hate :

    1) When people ask for "thumbs up"

    2) When you shit, and the toilet water splashes your balls

  • @WackyWadslow HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA dude i almost choked on my food!!!!

  • such a small stage!!! AvA's to good for a stage that small!!! THUMBS UP IF U AGREE!!!

  • @blinkfanbitches Im sure most bands would love to do shows on smaller stages like this one. Most bands have said that they like smaller gigs cos they're more personal

  • This isnt one of their best performances...

  • This is before Tom ruined most of his guitars:/.

  • Yo soy una gran fan de Tom Delonge, y bueno, dinceramente, no me gusta para nada la voz que hace ahora :l

  • Wow this is an awful performance. I'm not a hater so don't attack me. I'm just stating my honest opinion. I've seen much better performances, this one's way down there torwards 1 on a 1-10 scale 10 being best...

  • Comment removed

  • In full honesty i love tom but his doesn't sound very good. With out exageration it sounds like a kid in the final stages of purberty, but i'm hoping that this was just a bad day.

  • Damn look at Atom he's beating the shit out of the drums and cymbals.

  • I WANT THOMAS'S GUITAR

  • yeoooo here i am... :D

  • i like angles and airwaves, +44, boxcar racer, travis barker remix, but mostly i just LOVE BLINK 18 fucken 2

  • Biggest mistake tom ever made :( long live Blink :)

  • whens blink coming out with new sttuff!!!!

  • ok u can obviously tell that mark and traavis didnt care about +44 because right when blink got back the broke up and tom is committed to music and is taking the task of playing in both bands at the same time

  • i love how tom is lead singer but his guitar parts add way more to the song than david's when there no vocals

  • this is tom delonge on my friends youtube account and you can all suck a dick

  • LOVE the part where tom plucks the string at 1:22...it echoes through my room lol

  • absolutelly awesome, fucking great intro and performance!!!!!!

  • I miss the Sauce

  • Guys im sorry I dont mean to bash, there a great band. But this sounds so bad. A massive part of being a good band is sounding good. This sounds like a bad cover..

  • @MrOhjames tom sounds good..listen to more live preform. he sounds amazing in the drum off..2007

  • That's the problem with people today. Always comparing one band to the other. Who cares how they compare to another band? To each their own. They all have their own style, sing the way they want, play the way they want, etc. They AREN'T the same people so may or may not play as good as another band. Does that really matter? No.

  • I love Tom and all, but his voice is lacking in a lot of live performances. He kind of seems tone deaf to me and relies too much on the studio to make his voice sound good. That being said, I still like AvA a lot.

  • Bahahaha thats the most ridiculous comment I ve ever read. Tom said breaking up with blink was the biggest mistake of his life! His vocals sound like poop when he tries to sing like this. Just love all of them because they are all genius

  • man people thats how it is.....blink was a huge fucking machine and theres noway them apart is gonna be as good.... AVA and +44 is koo but it aint no blink

  • everyone hates on tom because they think he is the bad guy thats the only reason they wouldnt like ava. they dont listen to the music or toms lyrics. if they did they would realize that this is fantastic music and its way better then +44 but +44has no it isnt and thats like there best song.

  • this song almost reminds of something u2 would make i like this song they did it well

  • have to agree with mcrsum182 they are all good because of the unique sound they have completely diff styles this video is awesome

  • lol. This is a man that should use autotune. This is awful. Tom Delonge's "Studioforce" maybe?

  • incase im the only one who noticed from 0:35 to 0:45 it says 'Previously recorded'

    So everybody stop bitchin on wether tom used auto tune or not.

    Maybe he did or maybe he didnt

  • sometimes i think tom is getting over his head with love. i like this kindof ava better! but tom is an awesome song writer.

  • does anyone have the mp3 to this??

  • u can just take the url and go to youtube to mp3 converter..and it will let u download it..

  • his progression throughout the years has made him lose his voice when he was younger he had an awesome voice,,,,, now its wasted =(

  • tom always drinks and tries too getdrunk before performing live.....fact

  • pain killers too....fact

  • @ikilledhannahmontana Tom Delonge cannot sing live for shit.....fact

  • Though he does the acoustic sets alright.

  • tom is god, angels and airwaves is a miracle, and this... *_*

  • ivlike tom but he sings ugly;]

  • If he cant sing live, then he cant sing.

  • @AllThisPurple Yeah about that. Ever heard of AutoTune? You can only use it for recording. Not playing live. EAT THAT!

  • i doubt he uses auto tune at all he just gets a bit carried away when playing live me thinks.

  • not true.

  • @jblazeURI Tom can't sing live for shit. Auto Tune all the way in his recordings. The vocals on the mark, Tom and Travis show were mixed down using Auto Tune as well.

  • @Ed3819 the dude i was replying to deleted his...he said that "autotune can't be used live", which is untrue. and I agree, Tom is totally all autotune.

  • watch tom singing there is..thats not auto tunned and he sounds perfect. live.

  • @Ed3819 I beg to differ. I saw AVA at warped tour a few years back, and I was amazed at how good Tom's voice sounded. I had heard a ton of stories about how bad his voice was live, but he sure sounded great when I saw them live.

  • @LoveisintheStars Every dog has its days man.

  • @Ed3819 Actually You CAN use it live. EAT THAT! Idiot.

  • the thing bout Tom is sometimes hes amazing sumtimes hes abit off mostly down to how powerfull the songs are you kinda need to not enjoy singing them if you wanna sing them well cos if you have a good time singing a song this powerfull you tend to overtry and thats the worst thing for a singer,i kno this cos im guilty of it myself but yo even if the singing isnt great what a fuckin song you cant relli fuk up when you write songs that amazing.

  • great band. love all 3 albums but tom really cant sing live. It was painful hearing him in nyc. got singing lessons??

  • Thanks

  • so far he's used that drum set for all three albums they've done.

  • tom has used that guitar since he went into AVA too

  • haha just realized tom looks like an asian girl

  • @jayvichy your eyes must be asian if you think so .

  • yea, bcuz asian girls are 6' 5" tall

  • offspring drummer

  • @avaFAN693 he sucked at the blink concert, he did real great when he was with angels and airwaves

  • then go watch tom, mark, and travis live.

  • @NasFan4Life How bout this..Mark and Travis is nothing without Tom,+44 is a joke...AVA is way better than Blink and thousand times better than +44..

  • I agree... AVA has so much more meaning behind their lyrics. They inspire listeners. It's a beautiful thing...

  • your comment is a joke, thats complete *@!#&^%$

  • fuck you they all have their own distinct sounds you cant say that one is better than the other. the are all good for different reasons.

  • @pinkyboose AVA is better than +44 but not better than blink

  • @pinkyboose Tom would never be where he is right now without mark. I'm not saying one is better than the other, but they compliment each other perfectly. Tom obviously has better songwriting ability, but without the live performances of Mark, Tom would be nowhere. You have to at least acknowledge that Tom is not the best vocalist live. Without a good vocalist, you won't go anywhere..

  • @TouchstonePOP then where is Mark and Travis right now?..NOWHERE!!..duhh...

    at least Tom is in much2 better position right now..and surrounded with good people..his band is Awesome!

  • @pinkyboose Whenever you can use proper grammar in an argument, come back and try to argue with me again.

    The fact is, they all need each other to be in a band. Neither of their side projects work. Tom honestly cannot sing and can't do shit at live shows without Mark, and Mark and Travis need Tom for songwriting reasons. None of them are better than the others..

  • @pinkyboose ava sucks..+44 was alright..we dont need to whisper got so much hype and was a huge disappointment when it finally came out...tom's new style of singing is terrible and hes trying too hard to make some sort of emotional style of vocals..all the songs on we dont need to whisper sound the same...and u cant even compare blink to ava cause ava sucks and blink got so much more recognition and awards

  • @tortex91 Don't have on AVA until you see them. I'm a hardcore Blink fan. I saw AVA last Friday and OH MY GOD. I take back EVERYTHING I ever said about Tom's voice being shitty. On pitch the ENTIRE show. It shut me up.

  • @redbulletlive i saw AVA live..and i was a huge fan of them until i began to realize that all their music was mediocre at best..plus its clear that Toms voice isnt that great, he drones on his words too much..I know people who know Tom personally and they say Toms a tool anyway..i used to be a huge fan of his but its just not the same..im not hating on AVA..im just saying that theyre music aint that great compared to blink

  • @redbulletlive he also uses a ton of autotuning effects live

  • @Jared2324 No, he doesn't. I have my own studio and have experimented with autotuning effects and pitch correction, you can tell.

  • @redbulletlive pitch correction more than autotune! is what i meant

  • @Jared2324 Well I know for a fact Tom doesn't use that. Maybe on the DVD Start The Machine. Not performances like these though.

  • @pinkyboose thts y travis is the most sought after drummer in the world rite now....nd mark isnt doin so bad himself....producing as well as a solo album in the works

  • @mandipthapablink mark will never make anything close to boxcar racer. toms side project w/travis 

  • @pinkyboose i for one do not want to hear crap songs about F this and F that (blink)....id much rather hear songs about hope and love anyday...

  • @pinkyboose and crap, im glad Tom has matured and writes music like this..if you are in your 30s and still act like a teenager, you need to grow up. people that still want Tom to act like an 18 yr old need to get over it..its called MATURING...maybe youve heard of it??

  • @HokiePokie33 i think you bashed on the wrong person..i love Tom and i love AVA...and yes i agreed, Tom has grown up and so his songs..and i LOVE it..

  • @pinkyboose thats the best thing ive ever heard....

  • @pinkyboose lol listen to him sing...he sounds like he's drunk and dying. you can hear mark coherently. not to mention +44 actually wrote songs...i just think tom has no talent and was perfect with the right people.

  • @FreckledOne16 How does that explain Box Car Racer. The whole album was written and recorded by Tom except for Travis' drums and the album itself in on par if not better than the albums Bblink released. Tom is extremely talented. His live singing isn't great but that doesn't mean that he isn't a great songwriter.

  • @pinkyboose i disagree, i think AVA, Blink, and +44 are all great bands, there all pretty different, but Blink are the bomb

    When your heart stops beating - +44 is one hell of a tune if you havent heard it

  • @pinkyboose ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahah

  • @ajd1992 Agreed!

    and whoever gave you a thumbsdown is a fucking moron

  • @sk8brder40 you gotta be joking

    hallucinations is brilliant...

    yeah i would prefer if he just focused on blink and released the album, but that ain't gonna happen

    im so hyped for the new AVA album love, its gonna be amazing, but blinks album is coming out this year along with the european tour :D

  • @sk8brder40 your gay , this is his worst performance .

  • @wpgjesus No, Tom is, believe it or not, a LOT worse in most performances. Try and prove me wrong. Go for it. Listen, I love tom, I love his music, I think he's a funny guy. But he's a fucking terrible singer and has been since after the TOYPAJ album.

  • OKay

    1. AVA FUCKIN RULES

    2. Their AWESOME FUCKING LIVE

    3. BEST FUCKING BAND OUT THERE

    4. FUCK YOU

  • AVA is def not at their best live =/

  • well if u'd rather listen to that than u are one fucked up person lol

  • quick question....why the fuck r u watching their vids ass clown?

  • i think his vocals are pretty good in this one, everything is so amazing

  • tom sounds stoned on this

  • hes not on fucking drugs durring this. just because all you kids smoke pot and shit dosn't mean he was in this video. he has some respect at least.

  • tom WAS addicted to pain killers, and he does drink a bit, but he dosnt do pot

  • yeah i knew he did something. whatever, people overcome it.

  • Fucker. His voice sounds like they're twisting his nipples as he's singing. Thats what he gets for being a bitch, these guys suck some major scrotum

  • then stop viewing their videos you goof .

  • When the vocals comes in... oh my god it is just awful!!

  • i love AVA 100494098848584873487 times more than blink

  • cant people just accept them both as two different GREAT bands???

  • this band is amazing :)

  • wow the bass drum is pretty big hahaha

    great performance though

  • Instruments: +10

    Vocal: +4

    Tom Status: Wasted / Drugged

    The Adventur its a great song anyway....

  • i've always loved the build up on this song.

  • oh my god he needs singing lessons, that was horrible. i actually feel embarrased for him? mark tom and travis show was defo the best live singing hes done!

  • Real men don't take singing lessons, they drug themselves up so much they don't care about what they're doing :P AvA FTW!

  • technically atom and travis are at a debatable level,but when it comes to really giving a memorable show,somehow travis will stand out more.you cant agree more to that,thats what separate him from the others.you can see 10 shows of atom willard and by the 3rd show u know his rhythm,travis...u wont know,theres always something new to his performance

  • Tom is actually a lot better today, he was going through a rough period at the time and was addicted to painkillers :/

  • The only time I have heard Tom sing good live was on The Mark, Tom And Travis Show (The Enema Strikes Back).

  • Of course.... Live,he's a disappointment....

  • somehow this makes me goose flesh X)

  • Hi!....Do this production work again for these guys! Where is the guy? Do it again for them...His crew needs to visit a costuming store.Mix between a Torturous thing miss you kiss Love Cat and U Two. Still, need no criticism if they just keep financing more productions like this one....

  • wtf was that?

    it sounds like he just woke up?

    horrible, sorry =/

  • I got a kind of "love and hate relationship with this band" I found their music son fucking perfect but sometimes I don't feel like Tom's voice is the best for this band . . . he is not that good live

  • I don't know why but tom so often turns back to the drums...

  • I'm assuming he's simply trying to interact with all bandmates on stage. Also, From personal experience, drummers can feel isolated from the rest of the band if there is no interaction. Or perhaps he's having trouble hearing the drums though the monitors?

  • @murraymint55

    well this ould be a reason you see not everybody is such a crazy and amazing drummer as travis

  • Comment removed

  • I agree Travis is good. I am not taking anything away from anybody's talent here, but Atom Willard is every bit as good as Travis is. If there is any problem at all with this performance it is just the vocals. And that is not nearly as bad as I have heard in other shows.

  • yeah but atom is not so.. I don't now Travis always make a shoiw for his self ...

    yeah the vocals

  • So what???

    Easy but very beautiful!!

  • yeah....umm....I love AVA but those were absolutely dreadful vocals. Everything else was amazing though...

  • Yeah I totally agree here, I'm a musician I've grown up with blink and tom and love the band but it's like he's drunk sloppy as vocals

  • hes high man.. =\

  • oh tom... why... youve been so much better....

  • look tom sucks live we all know this so get over it. but he also is a musical genius.

  • Well lets you sing better, especially while playing rifts like he does, and they were fairly new back than, Tom Delonge = best all around musician IMO he writes some of the most amazing lyrics / rifts and has some of the best build ups to songs of all time

  • Wtf is a rift lmao

  • obviously you haven't listened to another band other than angels and airwaves. your opinion is so wrong thats its hilerious to laugh at :)

  • lol his RIFFS are phenomenally easy.

  • that doesn't mean they're not great, simple doesn't mean ordinary

  • i know never said that, hes one of the most influential players of all time. absolute legend.

  • XD lmao

  • sorry, I thought you were underestimating him xD

  • Often simple is better

  • I know, they actually are... but they sound really good, and when u add delay to them it sounds amazing!

  • easy like ur mom ?

  • Terrible vocals.... but guitars were great.

  • man that build up was amazing! SO amazing!

  • man does Tom suck live or what? thank goodness they play so damn well

  • heyooooooooooooooooooooooooo

  • west

  • what is tom doing at 0:57? i see him do that a lot, its like he's popping his ears
