AVA plan tour that will be out of this world

Ex-Blink 182 guitarist Tom Delonge has announced that his Sci-Fi-obsessed band Angels And Airwaves have teamed up with the North American Space Agency (NASA) for their upcoming 2008 world tour.

"There's 25 partners we're gonna have, but the first one is NASA," Delonge America's Billboard magazine. "I'm working on doing some incredible things with them and incorporating NASA's technologies into our show. I think people will be wowed with what I have in mind. Hopefully I can pull it off."

GET OVER YOUR FUCKING SELF, ITS ABOUT MUSIC, YOU KNOW, GUITARS,DRUMS AND VOCALS NOT NASA AND NOT FUCKING SPACE!

when will this guy realise that nobody cares about angels and airwaves and him think he is the second coming or the new messiah. how can he be expected to be took seriously? this is the same man that used to run about naked and wrote songs about fucking moms dads and dogs in the ass.

like i say, nobody cares about your ego, just lay the fucking blink songs.


i take everything bad back that i said bad about mr way, this cunt delonge is by far the most hateful man in music


happy christmas fuckers =]

Well, if he wants to try to get some attention, I say let him do it; it could turn out pretty good.

Whether or not it will impress fans nd crytics is another matter altogether though...

What I don't understand is why the hell is a massive corporation like NASA doing working with a semi-popular rock band??????

andymark have you ever been to a gig mate? The visual spectacle is so important. You can play songs with note for note perfection but without stage presence its shit. I can't wait to see what Tom does. Angels and Airwaves are a class act. Don't be put off by Tom's arrogance, the music speaks for itself.

C'mon guys, tom does create good music, n just because he has a high opinion of himself is not reason to dislike him. I think that AVA's new shows are gunna be wicked>>>Can't wait!!

lol proving again hes such a big headed twat. You dont need lights and pyrotechnics to be a good band, thats just a novelty way to sell yourselves to an uncaptivated audience.

Tom really needs a reality check, but the shows will probably be good and I actually like the music they make. Just because Tom was a dumb brat before doesn't mean he can't have grown up a bit! He believes in himself, a bit too much but I don't see anything wrong with it. If he wrote negative stuff you'd just blame him of being emo!

Just don't take everything so damn personally, people... What the hell is the type of music that would make you guys happy? I think some of us need to learn to accept that there's gonna be different types of music and just because someone used to be in a fun punk band like Blink doesn't mean they have to be stuck with that.

With that said, if Tom wants to work with NASA, and NASA says yes, it's not Tom but NASA who's stupid for going through with it. The results should be interesting at least.

The first album was average at best but dear jesus, I-Empire was sold on Ebay within hours - fucking horrendous

If you want something otu of this world then for the love of god don't waste your money seeing AVA, go see Tool for visual spectacle AND quality music - something that AVA sadly lack.

I really do wish Tom would just get over himself and get back with Mark and Travis, cos Blink 182 will always be what he's remembered for whether he likes it or not!

Shut up Tom rocks and he is the gr8st musician ever! i really hope they come to Ireland coz i will definitly go and see their show!!! AVA are real good. All though they cant compare with blink 182! blink 182 were the best band in the world and still are! I bet that AVA shows will rock and something real cool and special will happen with the help of NASA!!!! I agree with Joel though Tom will never be as good as he was when he was in Blink!!! could anyone tell me why exactly tom quit blink 182????????????

It's also about how enjoyable a live concert it you twat.

They're on indefinite hiatus, Blink could work together again any time they wanted.

(Although I doubt it because AVA & +44 are doing alright for themselves and they're in their own bands now.)

oh seriously tom delounge what a fucking joke blink sure any time but then fucking angels and airwaves he has turned in to suck a fucking pansie seriously just put down the guitar and get back jerking off with your fucking tears.

I saw Tom Delonge/AVA at Reading this year.

Never laughed so hard at a fallen 'hero'. Anyone who thinks that this untalented alsoran is anything but a pretentious millionaire who cares nothing about the fans, and everything about becoming Jesus, is...seriously...a complete fool.

NIN Rule.

Fuck all the pretentious metal heads, and emo kids whining about their shitty lives...

This is proper pretentiousness, and more power to DeLonge... a lot of people don't like try-ers or positivity in their music/bands - fuck them.

This band make simple, feelgood music, they don't do boring interviews, and the lives shows are fucking great.

It may be true that Tom has a bit of an overactive imagination, and he might be setting his sights a little high. But its good that he's trying something different and i cant wait to see the show, i reckon itl be brilliant.

oh, n i know the likes of 'Adam' and 'ME' above me wont like this, but i actually think AVA are better than blink ever were

Well He Is A Bit Stupid

But I Like There Songs

Posted by Dale | December 18, 2007 5:24 PM | Reply to this

I swear...
Have any of you seen them live?
And all of you people saying 'Tom is this, Tom is that'...no he isn't!
How would you know?! Anyone that, without space age shit as a backdrop, cannot stand up and give a good performance live is NO musician. Like I said...I saw them at Reading and they wer e TERRIBLE, and where Blink could get away with it because that was the way they were, AVA just can't.

Hence they got bottled. Not at the START like PATD...but after they started singing, because they were shameful.

I would like to average a guess at the mean age of an AVA fan being 13 - still too young to know what real music is, and all too easily convinced that stage techniques mean a good 'live show'.

You all make me cringe.

you know, gigs aren't just about the music. a good band knows how to put on a show.
take Fall Out Boy as an example...If you don't have Pete (much as i dislike the man...), you have no show. if a show was just the band standing there playing, it would be boring and unenjoyable. that's how you know if it's a good show - if the band are able to add something extra to their music, something differant, something that can't be captured on record.
i'm pretty sure thats what Tom is aiming for, something to make the experiance really mindblowing and massive.
