Angels & Airwaves - Secret Crowds (AlmostAcousticXmas)

[tluck81]

Whoever is bashing Travis is really in over their head.

[afrikaaner94]

atom is a fucking legend

:)

[tymotoboy53]

honestly i could see why people didn't take tom seriously when he said ava was gonna be big. it's because you can't really take a person seriously when they make songs about fucking a dog in the ass. i love ava. i just wish more people could see how good the music is

[justdisconnected]

Why people say they suck live?.. I like it that is not like the Cd-version =).. (bad english)

[620sly]

alot people say his voice is bad and i think this performance is his good side or i just adapted thinking his voice is GOD like TOM your amzing hope to meet you someday

[1994waldi]

@620sly watch their concert at Guitar Center´s Drum Off ´08, there you can see that he´s truly an amazing singer =DDD

[620sly]

@1994waldi Trust me ive seen it im a EXTREME AvA fan

[JOBOB335]

travis would be able to do the the full intro drums

[baehr52]

@JOBOB335 travis he just fast with no talent so fuck off

[JOBOB335]

@baehr52 really dude. travis barker is generally accepted as the best drummer in the world. not this guy.. not even close

[baehr52]

@JOBOB335 if hes accepted as the best drummer in the world then whoever thinks that should go look up neil peart drum solo

[elguitara1]

lol Tom looks so lost without his guitar, he is still BOSS though!

[onenightstandoffstl]

that bass is so bad ass!

[Boomer56244265]

i think tom does suck live im sorry. but thats one thing i love about tom delonge. he doesnt care what people think of him. and yes he is the motherfucking god. he also isnt bad everyshow. he has good and bad shows. and if anyone has gone to a live show before. its not perfect. it doesnt seem like the recording. so this is normal for tom. but i still love tom delonge. and i still love him live. i saw him in blink on the 2009 tour. and also saw AvA. and whether or not hes good live. i loved it

[FLASHLIGHTMAN4LIFE]

i need more cowbell!!

[7hillcity]

i love me some A&A and Blink.... they are my favorite bands but Tom should really work on vocals.....or at least use auto-tune live. the energy is great but as far as vocal range and tone, he needs a little work.

[daniel21396]

SYMBIOTE44 I 1000000% AGREE WITH U

[etenks1]

i still say the guitar sounds out of tune

[hubbleslaw]

its the pickup that gives it the sound

[TheChantZGuy]

what the hell are you talking about?

[hubbleslaw]

what the hell are you talking about?

[TheChantZGuy]

tuning has nothing to do with the pickups

[hubbleslaw]

no shit

[musicidot182]

hes kinda fucked up at this show

[anonymsgamer]

Man I wish my drums sounded like the drummer from AVA :(

[MikeMayhem1234]

Why, they're not THAT good. haha.

[chrishasic]

I wish i had my toms tuned like Atoms!! they sound great!

[vaccine223]

this a bad example of what he really sounds like iv seen them live a number of times and tom sounds amazing live with AVA

[AvAPlus44Makes182]

fucking loved that!

if music was an was sex, I'd orgasm/eargasm off that :P!

[scoobydanse]

AVA is the best !!!

[johnfromdabronx]

i promise u watch da 1:31 part -click on it

[Symbiote44]

He should use auto tune when he sings for AvA

He sounds good live with blink........... but he's trying to be something he's not with AvA

[Respekt213]

He sounds amazing in htis song, The speech was amazing. Anyone who don't like it? FUCK YOU!

[goop3r]

ava rules.. but tom is trying to sound different.. he should sing like he can.. not this rock version.. he's better with his voice..and he still can sing..

[gizmo359c]

i know its only cause his trying to sing out of his range, with blink and bcr he sang heeps good

[stuart182]

haha toms speeches are gay!

[lilrdog]

Atom is nice on the drums

[ashplus44]

The intonation is ALWAYS out on their guitars..hehehe

[nlo13]

true

[blinkinava]

tom cant sing. :(

that was almost painful.

but he's still amazing so its okay :)

[CrazyBroken]

well i think his voice is so strange because in the blink days he just had to yell and stuff its punk rock .but now he has to sing and he just cant't ^^

[alczyn182]

have u seen start the machine? he says somethin like "it's hard to control this soft shit" when they're recording the record lol (about the singing)

[Mareq77]

my favourite song by AVA.. love it!

[nre002]

should of heard him in 06 he sucked sobad live,it mustvebeen the drugs or something cus he really sucked. i saw them at reliant with weezer and i said if he did not impress me there i would never waist my money again on AvA tix(even though they are like my fav band) and what do you know it was the best concert i ever went to. he actually sang normal and not all stupid kind of like he started out the song here. but i still think he sounds way better backin the live blink days.i dunno whathappend

[musiclover1672001]

angels and airwaves is one of the best around along with the band Annasay. I just discovered Annasay on itunes recently though, but they have quickly become a favorite too

[619juggalo]

man that was wicked

[NickTVproductions]

is just me or did he fXck up the lyrics a few times

and at the very beginning it sounded like he was gonna either cry up throw up

[facundoduarte]

he is the best

[ROSIX2202]

omg. he ruined it. he ruined his own song!

[jgpc1234567890]

Dude i know, i was in the melkweg ( amsterdam ) and he ruined the first song of his concert xD ( the adventure ). But after that he was awesome.

He's not the best singer ever xD.

[ROSIX2202]

aaah i know, but still.."Secret Crowds" is my favourite AVA song!

[schimmeltre]

xD that's true the studio versions always sound awesome but some live songs aren't very cool but a lot of songs like the war are live really great

[619juggalo]

u ruin it lol

its his band he can sing it his way

i recon it sounds wicked

[budqt1]

i love tom and think hes amazing but from 2 29-2 31 hes singing like peter griffin

[lanrupid]

what the hell. i love angels and airwaves, but this one sucks

[iMartha182]

/\\//\

[BeachAvAblink182]

i hope all you people are doing ur bit for the enviroment

[Dousch]

so amazing <3

[GoesAVA]

lol clemson tom started the band 92...

[68Ripper68]

i think his pissed in this vid :S cos he sounds! SHIT and i love AvA

[hinterwinter]

dude if there was no blink there would be no AVA so don't even talk. i love them both though im seeing them tomorow

[clemsont34]

blink started in 94

[budqt1]

they started in 92

[GoesAVA]

To Everybody who thinks that thomas tom DeLonge Sucks live, Fuck YOU !!

Tom is the motherfucking GOD !

[Mareq77]

you are right man... hes is GOD !!! fuck yeah!

[bradymyers1]

ya but i dont know wat happened he did excellent live in distraction but wat happened here at the beging he seems to almost forget the lyrics i mean i love AvA but i just want to know wat happened here

[congoninja]

he sucks live

[gregor753]

he isnt in tune at all!

[HockeyFighter852]

he sounds really bad in this video... he sounds like he has something in his throat

[5FMRock]

I tell you what- I love Tom and I love AVA and I've seen them live and they're amazing, but Tom really sounded awful in this video.

[delongebarker]

Tom Is 32 , Travis Is 33 And Mark Is 36

[ValoFan666]

I thought his voice was good here.

[longhornfreak182]

fuck you toms amazing

[alkaline48]

its called a pitch corrector, he screwed his life up man, blink was the best thing, think back, band since like 96' and he dropped it to do this shitty band

[enda19]

he didnt screw up his life, its called maturing. he is writing songs that actually have meanings and inspiring lyrics. if you don't appreciate it, don't talk, because there are tons of people who perfer him doing this than what he writes before.

[FloSK8Team]

@enda19 yes i knoow

[congoninja]

blink didnt start in 96 lol

[alkaline48]

it was a guess

[yzer19man]

quite possibly the worst live singer besides avril...he sucks on this song...its great on the album, but he ruined it forever!

[srkerchen]

this is in reponse to accrusaders12......

Tom has moved on to making music that means something.....

[DumbshitKids]

a couple comments down yea it deppends on what kind of drug your talking about hes still on pills for is back problem

[DumbshitKids]

umm ok that doesnt answer my question tho WHERE CAN I WATCH START THE MACHINE!!!

[longhornfreak182]

BUY IT RETARD

[DumbshitKids]

yea hes really old hes only 28 and so is mark and travis is older then both so i dont think its to late

[jasonholden]

tom is 32, travis is 32 and mark is like 35

[DumbshitKids]

i meant when they broke up, and thats still not old thats not even middle aged

[longhornfreak182]

marks 36

[DumbshitKids]

where can you watch that movie start the machine?

[longhornfreak182]

by it its like 10 bucks

[NickandAlexVideos]

dude blink is not coming back, tom is to old to go run around naked and all that stuff. tom is a whole new and better person today. watch start the machine and youll get the point

[accrusaders12]

Blink 182 needs to stop being a bunch of pussies and stop being so blind that the money is better when they are together. We need to chant BLINK 182 at AvA and Plus 44 concerts til those dicks get the point. By 2010 they will be back together. For the mean time:

1) Blink 182

2) Plus 44

3) A & A

[mickeyapp]

he´s on drugs

[SquierLiam182]

He WAS on drugs, he's sober now

[Elegia182]

O_o

He's a man. That's happend

[DumbshitKids]

tom stop prancing around the stage like that doing his little arm lift thing. god what happend to tom he used to be so funny now he is so serious and shit.

[jamesedwardd]

thats exactly what ive been saying lol

[keddcrawford]

yeahh grow up peace out

[DumbshitKids]

haha omg at 2:28 tom forgets the words and then at 2:31 it sounds like he says penis cars. lmao

[blinkknot44]

fuck... i kno the words better than tom... lol

[GinjaNinja11293]

Bahahahahaha!

[BlinKnCollin]

This Song remains me of the Box car Racer time...I like AvA more and more but I wish tom would come back to Blink....There's and was NO better band than Blink ! No AvA and no +44 ! BLINK 4 EVER!!!!!

[Emjey016]

just grow up people, TOM ROCKS!!!!!!!!!

[mikek1990]

Why cant he sing?

[chopmankins]

this would be so much better if tom played the gutiar and sang with more energy

[docteurmagie]

He suck so bad live and he take himself too seriously... in blink he was good from 92 to TOJPAJ and he was joking all the time

[plut8]

Tom's reason for that is that blink didn't really have a message but that angels and airwaves does. I prefer the "old" Tom aswell, but I also respect "current" Tom

[barneszinski]

loved it when tom points too david too begin the song..right on cue

[jlc90210]

listen to this and the music video and try to match them together so the music is close to each other, its kinda funny

[bassserj]

he talks too much now,and he is not funny, dang tom come back

[smam567]

tom is a legend

...but i prefer him behind the guitar

[pete009007]

Agree!!!

[heythereguys1]

wow.

tom cannot sing at ALL live.

[azL128]

He can sing, only that sometimes, he likes to change the way of the singing. If he sing the way he sing in the album, it will be good.

[kreshnikkomoni]

exactly

[zamir88]

this is shocking, he cant sing.

[Cyaelle]

I LOVE YOU TOM! yeah blink-182 was great, but he was getting shit from Mark and Travis, so yeah i would leave too.

[hupy44]

cyaelle, he was giving the shit to mark and travis.

[blinkAVA9]

no he wasnt.  tom delonge said on start the machine that they had been arguing for weeks and he told them over nd over again that all he wanted to do was be in the band but he had to be there for his family and on the last blink-182 practice when he said that mark said if thats your priority then youll have to deal with the repercussions. and he left.

true story came from his lips

[alyssacech]

i used to love this song but he fucked up by leaving blink

[Leevo1987]

god they've got to find a way to do this song better live. He needs some back up vocals.

[ASchaaf13]

*Cough* mark *Cough*

[simionTheOne]

lol i heard him 19/04 it was the best day of my life (AvA) and ffs Tom's voice was incredible ö how come it isnt always like this

[Rufficopter]

I think he sounds good with AVA

Comments here are over-critized if you look at the attention AVA gets in compare with overall opinions.

Most people here are interested but think its fucked up thats just retarded

[ipodgirlmay]

dude he fucked up big when he left blink....BRING BLINK BACK!!!!

[RJL1116]

what the fuck, tom really fucked up when he left blink.

[sumfortyone]

mabye a dick went in his buttox?

[ballahype]

i love how when he sang bad in blink it wasnt a big deal or as noticable.. but damn tom.

[powerman182]

hay dik blink 182 rocked.fuck u

[guitarishard]

Omg stfu I love Blink but tom still sang slightly bad with Blink too, he's worse now but still.. he wasn't the best back then either.

[ASchaaf13]

but at least back then he was funny

[powerman182]

dude thats so true. wat the hell happened to him. but atleast they got back together

[44airwave]

holly fuckin shit!

my dog sings better than tom

he sux!

haha

[ScottA188]

i think Tom can't control is diaphragm on stage. Because I've seen videos of him live in studio and he sounds amazing. He always sounds scattered on stage.

[intraplatanario]

The voice of Tom is totally fucked up by the songs of it. blink backkkk please!!! oh shittt

[xbox360boy10]

DAMMIT! I WANT BLINK BACK

[daso131393]

tom seems lost on stage witout mark

[daso131393]

tom seems very unhappy he just doesnt hav dat thing dat he had b4 and he isnt funny witout mark anymore

[todek00]

Ok AVA rulles

But LIVE not (:

The voice of Tom is totally fucked up by the songs of it.

Get back to Blink and do what you have to do mate. (:

[Wogehkak]

tom is amazing - the band is playing too loud, they need to calm it down

[BleckyDownToEarth]

I think he's unhappy... he misses the blink days... I don't know... I just see it in his expression...

[greendayguy1246]

omg he sounds awful

[guitarhero555]

dude tom has no charisma he stands around and doesnt get into at all. it would be fine if he had a great voice to cover the fact that he does nothing on stage....but the turth is that his voice sucks balls

[xerin182x]

I would screw him in .2 seconds.

[cameronAVA182]

lol he's famous for his voice and ur not so u must suck....fucking shit so shut the fuck up

[guitarhero555]

hes famous for his voice in the studio not live u fucking dipshit

[BleckyDownToEarth]

the mic strikes, the microphone wants Tom to sing blink songs.... muahahahahahaha XXX

[Minute42]

i like how Tom sings alternative things like the Yoo! cause i know that song can deff put a stress on your voice to hit that same high note in the chorus continusly!

[PDpirates182]

wtf is up with the mic

[Raymanz]

why does his mic always screw up?

hahahaha.

[cameronAVA182]

exacly lol

[konkauction]

oh i just realized he sings it in a slightly lower key than on the cd.

[Humbdalas]

5:21.... ouch xD

[PiCkUpDaStIcKs]

His voice got all fucd up he always sounds bad live but i love him

[AbadJay]

FUCK YEAH BLINK 182!!!

[ASchaaf13]

*eat*sleep*blink*

FUCK YA

[CamoscioDAbruzzo]

blink 182 Forever and ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zwife]

Oh man, that was a pretty shite performance, but i jsut saw Ava live a week ago and Tom sounded awesome, and on the acoustic performance at aol, he actually had such a good voice. I think this was jsut a bad night for his singing, hahaha. And by the way, I've been a hardcore Blink fan since as long as i can remember and i'm pretty sure almost all their songs are about girls and being in love. How is Ava's style of lyrics any different? To say this music is empty is just plain bullshit.

[numenorean7]

ive been to an ava concert as well, and i thought tom sounded fine, but what i realized is that he probably still sucked, just didnt notice cause i was signin along and shit like that, every single video of tom live is pretty much awful, i love ava and blink, but he sucks live... way back in the day he sounded good, and maybe at the BDO in 2000, but very rarely does he sound even close to good live...

[horby182]

what are u talking about ya tom is pretty gay now but he's a better singer now than in blink but if he went back think of great blink would be the would be the best lengend in the world

[Kimiko335]

ok the beginning was pretty damn horrible you have to admit it there is no excuse for that lol but the rest was ok , ava is really good and have really nice songs but blink was amazing they changed ppls lives they were truely an amazing band

[rosborough]

coming from someone who went through high school listening to mostly blink 182 and idolized them, this is probably the most depressing thing possible. the music is empty, but disguised by big production and delay pedals. The performance is even worse.

[Rakatia]

lmfao hes so patheic now...

[DeathByPixel]

He seems pretty drunk.

[Specket22]

i love ava but tom needs to learn how to sing again its sad i miss old tom

[ArmandoBaez]

i think AVA is a better band that plus 44.. i mean the lyrics the guitars.. are so different to blink 182. they are great really.. i love them but i agree that they suck palying live.. tom is a very bad live singer.. but i know he can do much better.. there's no energy in his perfomance ( tom ) come on tom! you can do better than others.. i know it dude!!!

[michaelrpudlo]

wow i thought he might get better as the song went on but he seriously just talked the whole song...and hes not even on key either.

[michaelrpudlo]

tom learn how to sing

[kwayarr]

geezusss

talk about chills

:D

[blink182fanfan]

they were bigger than greenday

[BoxCarRacer711]

no they werent rofl.. dude. in ur eyes maybe.. but green day were MUCH bigger.

[ianholden]

sorry dude im with the green day fan here. green day owned. and they were bigger lol.

[BoxCarRacer711]

thank you.. see I LOVE blink-182.. but green day were a bigger hit. i like them both equal though.

[omgitsfingjoe]

you can't compare bands to other bands, especially blink to plus 44, ava, and box car racer,

that's like comparing vanilla to chocolate, there is no right answer, and after wards you just feel like a moron for even trying to do so.
