Angels and Airwaves - Do It For Me Now (Live AOL sessions)

[guitarguitar773]

they used to be so fucking good... now tom sucks at vocals and they have that Ilan guy who will never be what Atom was

[totallybossxb]

@guitarguitar773 have you seen Ilan? He's no atom, but he's fuckin good. he deserves to be there.

[mhironman]

Anyone who says this was auto tuned is a fucking idiot and obviously doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about.

[Vivalacrazee]

how the fuck is this auto tune? people are fucking stupid. its not he sang like exactly like this at the macbeth acoustic thingy

[fuckyeah49]

you guys are dumb as fuck this isnt auto tune

its this thing called singing 

[boonshnick96]

@averyscanlon theres definitely autotune people... no argument necessary. its so clear that its being autotuned how can you even argue its not? the autotune is so present that i noticed it before i even read any of the comment haha it bugged the shit out of me immediately. and to averyscanlon, they knew tom might be an exception where autotune might be necessary lol.. no offense

[uncgirl6693]

How this autotune? If this was autotuned you wouldn't hear the raspiness in his voice & you wouldn't hear it shake at times, autotune makes your voice almost perfect & his voice is not perfect here, he's just actually trying to sound good & is sitting still, if you listen to any of his acoustic songs posted by fans he still sounds good & I'm pretty sure the fans didn't take the time to autotune his voice lol

[DCooper720]

@uncgirl6693 auto-tune only corrects pitch it doesn't make your voice "perfect" as you say

[rwok]

Tom doesn't use autotune he just tweakes his voice a bit to help fit the song's style. if he doesn't use it in performances i'm not sure why he'd use it for the album

[MrBloodytits]

look at their hands! hahaha 1:23

[iloverocknroll47]

@MrBloodytits haha thats entertaining.

[oneforthekids182]

@MrBloodytits perfect synchronization should always be there when you get paid like they do to be professional musicians.

[Benlikesgirls]

Not talking shit about Tom, but he always sucks ass live.

But I think he tried hard for AOL Music.

[JayVlogz13]

he does not use autotune

[scottiboymusic]

@JayVlogz13 dude tom delonge uses auto tune in every way shape and form. not in this performance, but every recorded track he ever made with blink or ava, i love him, but he pretty much depends on it

[JayVlogz13]

@scottiboymusic please stop talking

[oneforthekids182]

@scottiboymusic every single musician out there uses autotune when they record vocals for a cd. No single person has their raw voice on a cd, unless they recorded it themselves on a computer, or if it's a live track....

[snowdye1]

@oneforthekids182 well actually most artists dont use autone when recording an album. its takes forever because they keep recording and rerecording all parts of a song until the vocals are all in tune and the sound they want

[666ThaScarecro666]

this is so good

[JosieRazorbacks]

how I love this man..

[morson93]

These lyrics mean so much to me, the melody is amazing, this song is just so deep, and reflects so well.

I'm going to see these in February, and blink in July. I can't fucking wait!

[sanfranpa1]

@morson93 oh my god. dude thats awesome

[Movingforthesakeofmo]

This reminds me of the best days of my life.

[Tinkers1190]

Toms voice is Perfection

[yourbiggestmistake18]

I love angels and airwaves so much there is no other band like them. This is sooo amazing. There isnt a day that goes by that I dont listen to angels and airwaves. Soo many memories =) thanks Tom -)

[isaacneedsanewname]

theres an armada of guitar accompanyment lol

[Tyronel2kX]

Tom's facial expressions are legendary! :D

[iloverocknroll47]

@Tyronel2kX haha yes they are.

[zemsify]

"This is wat Tom rally sound...... heavenly aowsommmmm.... i love Tom and AVA"

[INTERPOLFAN17]

what happened to his voice?

[VivaLaMac666]

@INTERPOLFAN17 its the ava voice dude deal with it.

At least i like it :P

[456852josh]

i still think that after the split up mark and travis are making more music like blink did and tom did go a total different way but i still love his voice though im truely happy that they are back together!!

[sirmatticus44]

@456852josh thats good though he always wanted to grow as a musician that is why he did boxcar and started a totally different genre just to grow i respect him for that. its pointless to keep making the same music over and over

[Rockeman182]

Man I love the way all of their AOL sessions acoustic songs sound. They sound so incredible. Haha btw I love Tom's face when he hits the high notes.

[himynameislrrnay]

what difference does it make whether its auto tune or not any idiot can tell that it is tom doesn't sound like this at concerts but who gives a fuck the lyrics are so inspiring and the sound of the guitars are beautiful .. iminlovewiththomasdelonge

[chetasaurous]

@himynameislrrnay omg everyone thinks he sucks at concerts... HE GETS SMASHED BEFORE THEM lol calm down... He "can" sing!

[ChrisP6789]

WHAT DE FUCK!!

HE sounds amazing when he plays acoustic :O :D

[iloverocknroll47]

@ChrisP6789 lol probably because hes actually sober here.

[calumpgs]

it's ok but new american classic after - fucking awesome!

[UndefinedObject]

@FuzManRules im just sitting here playing to the song, i found my own they are accurate, here they are leave the A string open and play the D string, its, 11(8x)-9(3x)-11(3x)-7(8x)-6(3x­)-9(3x)-6(1x)-7(1x) and thats it, then it gets deeper into the song, find them at any tab provided websitee, so cut me slack ahha im only 15 :(( : D

[szopdleazanyadat]

i swear the acoustic version is better because tom sings worse like on the album version :DDD

[xxpinkyemoxx]

let me play the "box"!!!!!

[FuzManRules]

I need tabs.. Anyone?

[lpextremehepsik]

give me e-mail.

[Lamotionofficial]

Good music

[EuphoriaMusicSession]

i usually stay away from videos that have the word "live" in the title. this is mainly because these videos could be fan-produced and low-quality, which takes away from the sensation of the band. THIS video, however, and videos like this one, are really great, because it captures a live event with good lighting, tasteful camera work, and excellent sound quality. NOT TO MENTION, Tom DeLonge is a true artist anyway, so i'll watch pretty much any video with him in it :D

[drummerdaz]

that was bitchin'

[gdl30]

whats autotune?

[parkerlane13]

its a computer program that automatically tunes your voice even if you can sing or not, its horrible for music

[gdl30]

@parkerlane13 thanks :)

[Tfrey29]

@gdl30 It's an effect that automatically pitches your voice to sing in tune. For good singers it can be useful to getting that 'perfect' song down and a lot of bands use it for studio recording. However, it has been used by rappers and pop artists who can't sing, and if your voice is more then a quarter of a step away from a note, it has to distort your voice to get to the note, giving the voice the 'robotic' effect you hear rappers like T-Pain use that all the sudden has become 'cool'.

[gdl30]

@Tfrey29 thank you

[Swirty]

either this is auto-tune. or this is what happens when tom isn't jumping and dancing around a stage completely wasted.

[iloveclc18]

not auto-tuned. a lot of singers SUCK live. and this is good..like you said.

[kara366]

This sounds amazing.

[PhilPat85]

does anybody know what cajon hes using in all of the aol session videos?

[prbrcb]

god you guys sure care alot about his voice i think he sounds good in this and it's a great song so get the fuck over yourselfs really just enjoy the music

[r0kstar182]

it seems like everybody's got a tampon up their butts

[iloveclc18]

thank you!!

[doctorsandgods]

you do know that also in the studio he would use auto tune with loads of modulation. im a sound engineer

[hopeXlikeXfire]

oh yeah, theyve doctored the shit out of his voice ever since the early blink days but i like it autotuned or not :D

[Schirm2010]

(: I could care less if he's using autotune or not.

If it makes him sound like this, then who cares.

Tom DeLonge is amazing.

[finretard69]

it almost like it not tom is not singing his voice is so different from the studio version

[TheShanklyGates]

I rather this over the original

When its performed live and its acoustic it sounds so much better than the studio version.

I cant really put it into words why I think that but i do!

[OkRoyBand]

i agree

[Watchtheworld87]

They do use effects so what its part of being creative and i think its fair to say Ava are very creative and are quite unique. Such beautiful music :)

[ffafdaly]

I DONT GIVE A FUCK AUTO TONE OR WHATEVER

THIS PERFORMANCE IS AWESOME!

one of my favorites songs

AvA FOR LIFE!!!!

[cheeseman245]

FUCK YEAH!

[lvilavong]

hes voice is fine he donst need shit to make him sound good go!!!!! tom :D

[mikey2times108]

Marks iss

[prbrcb]

I freaken love AVA

[RockmasterZN]

it doesnt matter there is nothing wrong with auto tune!

[kwaksy]

No autotune,he just can sing ,don't you hear it?:)

[iloveclc18]

exactly. i can hear it (:

[socalpnk18244]

oh boy.... another of u ppl who dont know anything about recording studios and the shit they do now

ok this isnt heavily autotuned like t-pain and the black eyed peas (good), but it is using pitch correction of some sort, maybe not autotune, im not trying to start somthing, im a HUGE ava fan and of tom, just trying to help u out with some useful knowledge

[cheeseman245]

i agree. this is pure raw talent unlike tpain

[xxDrivenByPilot]

@cheeseman245 lmfao

[clodscha]

you gotta love tom he's just amazing. i love his singing since... i dont know when^^... this song is totally amazing. acoustic even better.

[rinkey45]

I reckon he sounds heaps better than Bono :D

[wonderboyAVA]

when he says "guess" at 1:18, its not autotune, his voice just shakes

[Mazuelon]

ok I take it back, it was just an assumption, that I didn't even start ;)

[iloveclc18]

yeah. his voice always shakes. it's what makes tom, tom.

[Mazuelon]

you can compare them, because u2 is tom's favourite band and ava is mainly influenced by u2.

[wolfscg]

isnt tom's favorite band The Cure?

[iloveclc18]

one of his favorite bands..yes.

[mandipthapablink]

i think thts mark!!

[Watchtheworld87]

I dont think you can really compare ava to u2 there totally different i total support ava all the way theres no other band like them really unique. its not just about the voice i mean every1 goes on about toms voice musics much more than that toms very creative and does allot besides singing. i really like the band anyway just somethin about them =)

[Mazuelon]

ok he probably won't ever sing as good as Bono, but for his standards this performance is perfect singing-wise.

[natdogs57]

its not autotune u can hear its not. best aol acoustic cover AvA and blink forever... 2 different types of music 2 best bands in their style.. tom the best songwriter and best musician ever!

[Mazuelon]

It doesn't really sound like autotune, but at 1:18 when he says "guess", it sounds a bit like it. I'm not sure.

[BreadGuy01]

I fucking Love Tom xD

[BradAmes]

Ahh everyone i think its autotune...still an amazing songwriter dont get all mad im just saying

[Mazuelon]

wow, he sings much better than usual. I wonder if they even communicate within the band, because if yes, they could tell him to sing always like that.

[miniMM13]

he sings really well for the aol sessions. and i agree with the people that say he strains his voice. he does. i mean i love tom sooo much and he writes amazing songs i just think that a lot of times in his shows he tries too hard you know? he's still amazing an di love him <3 :]

[anonymsgamer]

I think he strains his voice to much, maybe if he kept his voice to the tone of the recorded song, he'd sound much better

[TolikRyumin]

what is the box, which drummer plays...  is it cajon?

[AlexManescu]

well I'm glad to hear what hes trying to do when he sounds like shit all the time lol

[rikyfortitudo]

i love tom's face at 2:38 ^^

[FiSh4ewa]

i think he sings better 'cuz he's hearing himself... he doesn't have earplugs.

but it's nice ^^.

[MetsSteelers]

on stage they usually wear an ear piece so they can hear themself so thats not why

[FiSh4ewa]

but it's still different.

[igotmail25]

he doesnt use ear plugs...those are monitors...

[natdogs57]

its a taylor 614ce butiful guitar love that guitar!!=)

[sheadude6778]

I always though tom used an 814ce..?

[mrvn44]

man!! this is so fucking awesome!

A.v.A. 4eva!

[drumsatan666]

this song is beautifull!! I think is better than album version too

[MetsSteelers]

word, i like it better too

[juliantom182]

brilliant

[lmposey13]

wow. Tom actually sounds pretty good here. for live.

[nairblink]

it is a taylor ... uses them in studio its the same as the one that was ritten fuck on ti well similar

[nairblink]

i looked think its more like a taylor ... if anybody can help me

[nairblink]

anybody knows witch gibson toms using? ... im pretty sure its a gibson

[HiMyNameIsJohn182]

Woah look at the look Tom gives at about 0:25 xD

AVA rule (Y)

I have a friend that looks just like David xD

[BvsButtHD101]

lol, weird look

[Christophebano]

LOL

[turtleface91]

Glad to say i lived in the time of AVA and Blink !!!

[Nackduck]

that´s right

[Edtheyak]

he hesitates to say shit is he not meant to? he kinda looks around after... p.s love this version

[Horizons02]

no he always says it like that.

[Heckn0]

this is relaxing :]

[Independentschlueder]

Yeah it really is great... but

Fuck yeah Blinks BACK!

[whw524]

fuck man i know! i cried that night. tom said shit funny in the beginning hehe

[TrippieIT]

i have to admit, even though i hate blink 182 splitting up that is a great version. If it was blink doing this, views would be different.. its hard to like because we dont't want to but you cant say its bad

[niarisa]

Have no fear, blink is back!

[GiaMmyAVAtv]

Awesome performance

[alczyn182]

omg this is beautifully amazing!

[avallthaway]

how can anyone hate on this? No taste!

[soundofplanes]

Toms voice is without a doubt amazing here, he seems to be getting better by the second and anyone who disagrees is wrong :-)

[torycicciari]

wow hes actually singing professionally here

[insainepsycho]

3.27..

[xLoveLikeRockets]

i LOVE AVA acoustic. i think this version is better then the one on iempire

[NiCohSalom]

exquisito el video.. y en cuanto al tema, suena mucho mejor esta version q la original.. segui poniendo videos de AVA.. saludos. Exelente.

[insainepsycho]

in 2.27 he sings that hold on to me in his Blink's Tom's voice

[FelonyFilmsInc]

Twat, shut up.

[fvs182]

OMG this is amazing, great great performance

[LeeGetToKnowMe]

this is a Fucking amazing song

capital f for added emphasis :)

LeeGetToKnowMe!

[Mynamesbob8]

ava is so incredible acoustic

[ssszcai]

yo he does a crazy ass facial expression at 2:37

[alczyn182]

i've noticed he does this alot! i took a picture of him at one of their shows and it came out with his expression like that...but worse haha!

[Austinisrad]

Amazing

it sounds so good.

[711Ariel]

why arent these on itunes yet?

[i0nPuNk182]

i want this on my ipod

[jeekabnieks]

Tom has to see a vocal coach though. They reinvented these songs in acoustic, but the vocals are weak... :(

[darijandaneski]

Tom is still inspired of blink songs its obvious=)

[PathToAdmire]

And why do you think so?

[LoveLyFergie]

chelseyPSYCHOPATH they're cute, too ^^

but Tom ..... is so .... i cannot describe it <3

[LoveLyFergie]

That's sweet :D

[182Kizzy182]

(: i'll post more videos relax ^^

[LoveLyFergie]

Uuh, please post thousands of such cute videos from Tom *.*

[chelseyPSYCHOPATH]

What about Atom? Matt? David? They're equally amazing as Tom. (;

[gashedguts]

Nah, i'm pretty sure tom's the best :)

[lostunicorns]

no, there's nothing amazing about them. i see them just as hired musicans cause tom is ava. in blink everyone was amazing

[chelseyPSYCHOPATH]

Maybe that's how you feel. But I see them as Atom, Tom, Matt and David. You have to be close to them and their music to understand them and put behind how much you miss Blink, because that's the only reason you people don't like AVA. Let go of Blink.

[lostunicorns]

i like AVA

[SwallowMyScream]

i really love AvA, but you have to admit that Tom is the scence of the band

[chelseyPSYCHOPATH]

Yeah, I understand where you're coming from. The band pretty much is Tom, everyone else just kind of came along, and then the band formed..

[SwallowMyScream]

yeah, and obviously all the lyrics are come from him. Tom is like the soul

[MnkyRamone]

but you cant say the others dont add anything, Atom is a pretty unique drummer for example cause he doesn't have the ordinary beats to every song

[SwallowMyScream]

obviously the others add they things, i was just saying that Tom is like the mastermind xD
