Angels & Airwaves - Reckless Abandon (blink 182) in Montreal

[ImNoJadedImsoniac]

does seeing Angels and Airwaves at their LOVE movie premier via stream count as seeing them live?

[zergb0ng]

everyone who listens to ava or 90 % is a blink 182 fan

[MrLucanoAmaro]

Ok. Angels and airwaves CANNOT do that. They CAN NOT. I don't allow them.

[Cronald33]

@MrLucanoAmaro you're an idiot

[MrLucanoAmaro]

@Cronald33 You can bet :)

[NintyGuy999]

@MrLucanoAmaro I don't allow you to comment on this video

[AlfieD15]

@MrLucanoAmaro its not really ava its just tom singing basically his own songs

[gremiopoars]

blink blink blink blink!!!!!!!!!!

[iginla1115]

last time i checked the crowd doesnt chant angels and ariwaves at a blink concert

[IhaveApony]

This was about 1 year before Blink got back together. Dang. Kinda crazy to think about. Especially when he says, I haven't done this in a really long time.

[SoulReaven640]

I love blink, Box Car Racer et AaA but I Hate +44

[naF281knilB]

@SoulReaven640 Why do you hate +44.? like what did they do

[ckillbaseball13]

soo gay without travis in this song.

[MrLucanoAmaro]

@ckillbaseball13 totally agree with you

[BayHarborButcher04]

Would anyone else think it would be wierd to be doing a cover song that you wrote but playing the song with another band?

[alamt123]

@BayHarborButcher04 its his song. he can play it whereever he wants.

[dmon715]

lol you can see tom hesitate whether or not to play it at first

[Zeroprobabilityvids]

EPIC how all the audience follows!!!! GO AVA AND BLINK!!!!

[blink182upallnight]

I freaking love this song. Have any of you heard of blinks new single on the new album? It's amazing sounding, definetly a whole new approach for the band. The single got leaked over at ww w (.) blink182upallnight (.) info tell me what you think of it since it won't be on youtube for a while becase of the Anti-Piracy Lock. :( You can still listen to it tho!

[jackiebegoood]

this video made me smile.

[XAnimeBroX]

I think people always went the craziest when he did blink covers... and i always bet he was thinking bout blink, wanting to get back together in the back of his heart, otherwise i think he wouldn't have done the covers.

[elitai]

haha i got goosebumps once he started singing haha I just can't wait 4 the new Album GO BLINK!

[jimbob2100]

is it me. or does this version just have a sombre feel too it. like he really missed blink.

[yfw75]

he actually sang good here (:

[GreenDayLvr76]

does tom always use blink songs to lead into Ava songs?

[treflipper]

because then he can sike them up and pretend they are siked up about the AVA song when in reality they are going to see the blink frontman.

[Weakweek90]

what does he start singing after the blink song? it sounds awsome

sorry im not a big AVA fan

[mikeblondin]

rite of spring, by ava

[JeffBrownThe10th]

@mikeblondin probably one of the best AVA songs too, or at least my personal favorite.

[Neophlegm]

It's not their best one- bit monotone. Would recommend any of I-Empire. It's a good album.

[mccarthykid1]

@Weakweek90 and that songs all about toms life and blink and blinks breakup and not being friends with mark and travis and being in ava.. he must feel stupid he worte that song and is back in blink....

[Lawhb]

@Weakweek90 it's a freakin awesome song, it gives a really good story of how he was growing, and that's not what a usual AVA song is about so it's a pretty extraordinary song for the band he's in right now

[gobluebell]

@Weakweek90 name of the song is rite of spring bt ava

[Lewiss182]

ava suck

blink rock

Mtl blink show is the best show ever

[Whatup5656]

Tom Delonge interview "Its a bit of a juggle for myself because Angels & Airwaves is a full-time thing for me"

[aznrocker903]

what a crowd

[SlainON2nd]

i like that tom played blink songs alone when he played with AVA, cause it makes more sense that hed do it alone since blink was a part of his life and noth the other members of AVA. i always thought it was stupid that plus44 played blinks hits and did it full band. tom only plays the songs that he wrote and that meant the most to him

[fishyeyes]

yeah totally, and tom plays the more meaningful blink songs while +44 plays just the hits like dammit, what's my age again and the rock show.

[antman392]

agreed, i've thought the same thing..and in some songs that he sang half and mark sang half..he will only sing his parts..

[bbreakout]

No. Tom said "I though Blink was my life. Until i realized it was just my stepping stone."

[cormac71]

well blink is his life again

[NintyGuy999]

he said that when he wasn't in blink

he probably regrets saying that now, he couldn't be happier at the min

[StepUpTonight]

What was the second song he played? sounds awesome

[XxxkenzaxxX]

Rite Of Spring, by Angels & Airwaves ;)

[Vaddamorganer]

here can you hear it, how many blink fans were at the concert

[beglebite]

all of you...just drop it. blinks back, who cares about anything else

[greensheckler182]

fuck you tom this is a blink's track

mark help me !!!

[slipknot7777777]

You must be pretty retarded. Mard did Blink songs in +44

[averus123]

even after he said he never would. =)

[Lewi121212]

no its not a blink track. its a track that tom delonge wrote. he can play it in whatever band he wants.

[thecanadiensarebad]

screw you!!! when it came out, it was played by blink182 (better than this)....that makes it a blink song ass wipe

[speakingincolor]

dude, it is a blink song

but yeah tom can play whatever he wants

[iloveclc18]

okay. this song was on a blink ALBUM and blink played the song..but blink was TOM'S band, making this song TOM'S. now, angels and airwaves is also TOM'S band, so i'm thinking this song is TOM'S.

[speakingincolor]

ok....

blink wasnt just Toms band

blink was marks band

blink was travis' band

blink was toms band

the mark tom and travis show

not the tom show

but yeah tom has every right to play blink songs

[iloveclc18]

yeah it was. but tom was the creator making it his band. but thanks for agreeing that he can play whatever song he wants not many people agree.

[PackerFrk7]

are you serious?? cause im pretty sure tom created blink....and am pretty sure this is toms song.....you just a stupid fuck. if your saying fuck you to tom...your saying fuck you to blink

[metroeyes1]

no it was akk of them and to someone else that reads this if +44 can play blink sons why cant AVA hm

[dontmessproductions]

omg. chill. all of the bands are good. Blink was the best but since all of them created blink they should be able to play the songs that they wrote. plus they arent going to give a shit what you say. if they were followers they wouldnt be where they are today.

[SemDog08]

i have not done this in a really long time hahahah i love that song thank god blink is back

[iluvae1989]

wow tom sounds way better than back then.

[blink182fanya]

I was there, first row, i was in tears

tom is god (no homo)

[xzackkynapalmx]

Blink 182 > Angels and AIrwaves and +44

forever.

[axe2face90]

what about boxcar racer and the transplants??

[xzackkynapalmx]

Transplants was whatever.

Boxcar racer was essentially Blink 182, preceding the last album they made. It was all the members on almost all the songs with two other members.

I LOVE Boxcar racer.

also, I do get how much editing and shit goes into bands. I have done all of that, just not to the point of Blink 182 or anything. I'm sure I understand. lol.

[mikeblondin]

Mark only did a couple of BCR songs, I think.

[xzackkynapalmx]

hence why I said almost all the songs.

I know he did the song elevator for sure, not sure about any others.

[averus123]

Mark had nothing to do with BCR and didn't even know about it until Blink's manager told him.

[alamt123]

@mikeblondin one bcr song.

[ckillbaseball13]

@mikeblondin only 1...elevator

[1994waldi]

@mikeblondin nope mark didnt don any BCR songs, he just was a guest singer at elevator, all songs of BCR were written by Tom himself ...

[fishguts1987]

@mikeblondin just one. it´s called elevator

[ChampionPuckle]

LOL... even though it wasn't even a single off the album the entire crowd knew the blink song word for word but almost no one new the AvA song...

[wiinut2k7]

thank god he's not on painkillers anymore they were about to end his career.

[naes101010]

PUMPED FOR THE REUNION---sooo many blink fans out there, I wonder what their first song will be

[Thrash1550]

"Dissapear" or "Pulp Fiction"

Pretty much blind-guessing that.

[amazingdrummertopher]

just aint the same without travis and mark

[zuja666]

this is shit. What the fuck is he singing???

[jewbaccatheoriganal]

he needs to get his whinny voice back

[HGS9669]

This is AWFUL! Why does he change it? And whats with the yo-oh-ohs he puts in all his songs? Seriously, I like AVA but the yodeling is annoying.

[clareosheaonline]

the number of people singing along shows how many people were actually blink fans originally.

would Angels & Airwaves have been as popular if Tom hadn't been in blink first?

although I love them both so meh

[NintyGuy999]

ive always said if angels and airwaves had no tom, it would be nothing...he is what people go to the gigs for

[clareosheaonline]

yeah, Tom is the only reason I would go to one. he basically IS the band

[daleboyv2]

Well, he does write the music, and AVA is HIS vision, so if there wasn't Tom, there'd be no AVA, I dunno if AVA would be as big as they are if there was no blink, there'd probably be no AVA even imagined if there wasn't blink.

[clareosheaonline]

True. He probably wouldn't have needed to believe in the message of AVA if he hadn't gone through the whole blink break first.

[guitardude9208]

I think this is a good instance of how Tom Delonge is the heart of blink where Travis and Mark are the drive and the head. Take 'em apart, nowhere near as good.

[ARulezzz]

I Disagree, IMO Mark is the heart of blink. Hes always seems to be the one who enjoyes blink the most.

[Yvmccaslin]

I Agree, Mark is the blink

Travis has his Hip-hop thing with Dj- AM too

And Tom his Ava

[rad3666]

couldnt have said it better myself dude.

[treflipper]

guitardude9208 you are so wrong.

[italiagrl02]

Yeah i really don't like the way he does blink covers. There ok. I wonder how the recording process will be like with mark and tom when blink is making their new album!!!!!

[xstraightedge89x]

i was at this show... wow amazing

[eric514yee]

same here man

sick concert

[thefray123]

do you think this is the concert that made him want to sing reckless abandon?? :))

[Evge9]

This was pretty good

[cobainbullet182]

This is actually their best cover of a blink song. but YAY blink is back :D

[italiagrl02]

I love this song!!! I like this cover, it isn't as good as the original but i like it.

[1sairyfairy1]

What pisses me off is that AVA fans will say that they sound nothing like blink, what the F**k is this all about then, Tom will always have that distinctive voice that makes me think bink.

[jaywill009]

obvi they sound similar cuz of tom its the same singer but the rest of the band sounds different then mark an travis...u know?

[colorfulgray]

tom respects blink have you noticed that hes the only one playing so this song should not be by AVA but by tom delonge

[PullyElbow27]

This song isn't by AvA...

Wow.

[larediggz87]

obviously not numnuts

[PullyElbow27]

I responded to another person's comment, who said it was by AvA.

[larediggz87]

oh my bad then i take tht back

[OCdrummer213]

thats actually not a bad cover

[Mikenike22579]

AVA would be so much better if they'd stop playing and ruining all of Blink 182's songs cuz their new versions SUCK

[Rogge14]

what new version? its just tom up there singing the part he played and singing. just doesnt have the rest of the band with him retard

[Mikenike22579]

he also sounds like he got shot in the knee... I love tom delonge dont get me wrong but when he takes blink songs like this and emo-ifies them, i jus dont like it, just my opinion

[Knightsrockthisworld]

the crowds really into it lol

[quebeccivic]

i was there... best part of the Night!

[jul129]

Listen to the crowd! :(

EVERYBODY WANTS BLINK 182 TO BE BACK :)

[nicoback89]

its kinda sad :,(

[AdvancedBiff]

I've watched this video like 10 times already. I love how he combines the two songs. If you analyze the songs, its like one is a follow up to the other... well, I find at least. When he uses Not Now to lead up to Rite of Spring, its just not the same.

[samxyx]

Tom is awesome

[sofi182melvin]

Wasnt Tom quitting blink 182 cuz he didnt want to stupid songs about alcochol and chicks and so on anymore? And now he appears performing reckless abandon!!! How come?.. That doesnt make any sense.. at least to me

[Radix182]

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU.

Tom shouldn't play Blink songs at AVA shows to show some respect to Blink fans and to Mark and Travis and whoever worked in Blink.

[DeathByPixel]

But Mark and Travis play Blink songs at THEIR concerts.

[Radix182]

Yes but they didn't quit Blink182. Tom did.

[JayLacelle]

yeah but tom wrote reckless abandon so he has the right

[jrmicro]

no it wasnt just becouse of that tho and also he wrote these lyrics so y shouldnt he use them

[sofi182melvin]

I'm not saying he shouldnt use them, its just that it sounds strange coming form this "new tom". Anyway, doesnt matter really. Theres no poinnt in us arguing about it or whatever.

[jrmicro]

haha no soz i wasnt tryin to start an argument or any thing lol

[USCfan7]

i know he sings differently; he should sing like he use too

[musicman10176]

AvA is a one man band,

thats why its not working out.

i totally agre Blink '09!

[rydogv14]

o my gosh! he doesnt sing the same anymore i wish he sang like he used to. even when it was supposed get harder or faster he kept the same tempo.. :(

[alexl53]

wow i love the chants :D

[shepaloop]

funny how everyone at the AvA concert just wants to hear blink lol get back together

[frikmeup]

blink 182 comming back 2009..

yes.. i dudeeeeeeee

[alexl53]

tom's new year resolution? :P

[VikkiGoezRawrrr]

Ek. Blink 182 was so better. What the hell happend. This pises me off so much.

[beglebite]

blink 182 is not getting back together, yes tom mark and travis are speaking again, but if blink 182 were getting back together, dont you think it would be all over the blink website

[popstarr55]

by the way...blink's site has some new interface...

[c0dy123bee]

could you give me the address??

[holmlund94]

they're covering it Blink-style. AvA is not

[meisnumba1]

I'm not a big fan of Anlgels and Airwaves but that is kind of a disrespect to them.

I don't want to be negative or anything but if you're in a band that was fun and jokes with your friends and you guys have a somewhat harsh break up that and that person goes on and makes another band there going to try and shine away from those songs.

Just wanted to point that out....I'm not trying to make this a negative comment I just wanted to point that out.

[stabcops]

this pisses me off beyond belief

[boyblob]

This was my favorite part when they played in Detroit.

[relator1985]

xxdisenchantedxx52x

Blink 182 is different song =)

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

what?

[badfilmer]

what do you think he thought when everybody was cheering blink blink blink! I just wish he would sing blink songs like he did in blink not slow. This one wasnt that bad

[Blink182fan123456789]

Its soo unfair!! they have been everywhere like in the world!! but they haven't been to Australia in AGES!! i rekon its time to come to AUSSIE!! =D =D =D!

lol woo ^__^

[rossdwhu92]

on rite of springs live video some douche said when tom sings it took an hour to start a punk rock band they said it was disrespectful i was like wtf why is that disrespectful

[ninjaben92]

come on guys, tom quit cos blink made him choose between touring or family (he hadnt seen his 2yr old daughter since she was born), so obviously, he chose family. He sings blink songs live just like plus 44 sings blink songs live, dusnt mean hes forgot or remembers blink, he just plays the songs he knows the fans will love to hear. And to be fair, you cant sing about teenage girls and stuff when your 30+ (said in interview). Whatever choice hes made is obviously a good one cos he still sells out

[RyanRotten80]

not true. he took his family on the road with him. no really knows the reason why he left, the only people that know is him, mark and travis. in my personal opinion, i know im gonna get thumbed down for this, but i think the break up and the falling out was all staged, so that they can have a momentus legendary historic reunion.

[taintedgraph]

we can only wish and hope that your right man!

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

it was mark that took his wife on tour with him.

you cant take new born babies on tour.

jen stayed at home with his kids.

& i very much doubt that the break up was 'staged'

as much as i hope they will,

theyre never getting back together.

[RyanRotten80]

well nobody knows (including you)...except them 3...i was just putting down my personal thoughts

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

on the 'start the machine' dvd that ava have out..

tom talks about it.

I think thats pretty much the truth tbh.

but whtevr sum ppl might not believe it..

yeah i know what you mean..

but i dont think its as complicated as everyone thinks it is.

[RyanRotten80]

yeah...well yknow, im not a fan of AVA at all, so i havent seen it

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

oh.

it might be on youtube sumwhere..

but it explains ALOT.

[sk8t3rb0y666]

theyre talking to eachother now

[Frear98]

how you no that ?

[sk8t3rb0y666]

mark (the bassist) said that they talked to eachother on the phone and hung out together a couple weeks ago. i read it on mark's blog so you can just search it up on the internet.

[gattuso813]

really? Thats a pretty big step forward. Even if Blink never gets back together, I would be really happy if Mark and Tom became friends again...

[BayleaHannahLuscombe]

blink 182 ARE getting back together !!!!!!!!!

[INVEKTiLotto]

Proof please.

[BayleaHannahLuscombe]

have u read this weeks kerrang magazine

[tottyemma]

Dude its true. In kerrang mag & On Kerrang website.

[bizerkdepression]

travis just confirmed its NOT happening. not anytime soon anyway. theres hope tho. them being friends is a step. :)

[Spiroze]

get real guys, AvA maybe makes cool songs but they suck live and are nothing compared to the energy, punk attitude blink had

[taintedgraph]

but they dont suck totaly live there like any other really normal band they have some energy just you cant compare to blink forget that..

[NintyGuy999]

one day he'll look back and think why did i leave my best friends?? he isnt half as successful as he was with blink!

[Blink182fan123456789]

truee! Blink was way bigger..

But Mark travis and tom were fighing and dhit.... =[.. wish they just realise that... that how much fun they had together when they were with eachother? like 13 - 14 years being bestfriends then just.. not talking to eachother... thats hard =[

I love Tom =]

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

i know!

i dont see how u can be nest friends with someone [like tom and mark were]

for that long..

and then just fall out sand never talk to eachother.

that MUST be hard.

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

he doesnt want success tho..

he wanted to create a new type of music..

& do something different..

[GeneralHasslehoff]

He sings this song great still I think Tom is amazing and AvA saved my life but I wouldn't mind a blink reunion

[blink182fanya]

I was there at that exact show , in the front row i touche tom , and, i love tom and i forgive him for leaving blink-182 he's a god, tom delonge 4 ever

[CH0C0LATEWAFFLES]

i forgive him to but i also admit id be way happier if they got bak

[xxdisenchantedxx52x]

go you.

YES!

[greatestbandblink182]

he says he is done with all that shit that blink made but then he sings the songs still like wtf? just makes them suck to

[CH0C0LATEWAFFLES]

he may be done with blink dosnt mean he dosnt miss them dam i miss blink as much as the next guy well mabey not that guy cuz he may not like them but i love blink as much as sum dude on this vid and im pissed to but dam

dnt be so quick to talk shit

look this is good that means thers still a piece of blink in him

[ShanShanShanXO]

You can't help but feel sorry for Tom, I mean he's lost his two best friends just because he chose his family over the band. I mean c'mon, he didn't want to raise his daughter around the kind of music blink-182 made. We'll always miss blink-182, I cried when they broke up but at least they've all moved on, I love Tom Delonge and im happy that hes doing his own thing - as sad as it may look without Mark and Travis. LY Tom.
