My Chemical Romance and A7X will be the first bands to sign up to AVA's new Modlife website...

That "revolution" Tom talked about way back at launch of AVA will be this site.

www.modlife.com

I remember how Tom got laughed at way back in the day. This website is gonna help small rock bands more than anything else anyone is trying out there now.

Tom DeLonge ftw.

modlife isnt going to work for small bands! itl only work for huge bands who have zillions of fans! thats the only reason it worked for tom. and it just goes to show tom doesent have that much faith in his own music if he needs to find an alternative way to make money out of himself

O and btw i dont know how to use that so if someone could ask him if hes heard the song ' no it isnt' by +44 because id kill to know what he thinks of that song

i hate modlife.
i think its totally unfair,because as a fan who buys their cds and goes to their shows,why should i pay to check out a gallery or a blog?

it wouldnt be so bad if only part of the website was exclusive but most of it is.

tom delonge for world leader anyway.

I won letter of the week in a previous kerrang mag after a rant about this cunt, and i feel another rant is long overdue.

The man is a clown, nobody cares about AvA, and i still stand by what i said in my letter, this man needs to curb is badly over inflated ego and realise that nobody gives a rats right bollock about this shit band and all that utter shit about nasa and space and modlife, how does he expect to be taken seriously when he ran about naked in blink 182 videos singing about fucking moms dogs and dads in the ass and then he breaks up blink and then comes back like some sort of saviour? give me a bastard break.

people will always wanna hear blink songs and its just like charlie simpson from fightstar, he wont ever shake that " him from busted tag " just the same as delonge wont shake the " him from blink 182 " tag.

delonge = cunt

tom doesnt deserve all the abuse but i want to know what he think of +44 and no it isnt

I'd genuinly love to ask him these two questions:

Whats the wierdest thing hes ever put his dick in?

and

What was the best concert he has ever played in england, blink or ava?

This is probably the most retarded question ever, but can someone please tell me where the 'V' in AVA comes from? Cos if it's Angels and Airwaves, shouldn't it be AAA? Gah, I dunno...

Posted by Confused Person | March 28, 2008 8:42 PM | Reply to this

I want someone to grill him til the skin has burnt off him, and serve him with a nice salad.

But he has to be conscious when the fire is started.

TO THE QUESTION ABOUT WHERE THE V COMES FROM

Tom wanted to come up with a logo for angels and airwaves and after he messed about with the letters he found out that if he turned the middle A up side down it looked like a V which ment it splet the name of his daughter
Ava

So thats why its AVA not AAA

A small band with a dedicated fanbase gets 500 users to sign up for their premium... and charge 40 pound a year (the av rate now)... 500 x 40 =£20000... How is that not going to benefit a SMALL band...

Why do you think it is videos?

The bands have webcams where they chat live, modblast is a forum, there will be Instant Messaging with bands, Live concerts to view for Premium members...

Then there is access to tickests first, Meet n Greets for Premium members, then the podcasts, blogs etc...

So buy 4 albums a year or that???

This is intended to allow bands (including AVA) to RELEASE MUSIC FOR FREE EVENTUALLY

Blinkme, you can hear what Tom thinks of plus 44 here. Funny how most ppl accepted Mark and Travis' version of the breakup cos they got there first.

Funny how they left out Mark getting jealous over Geffen offering Tom a solo deal, and that they were touring on different buses for all of 2004.

Ava is his daughter's name, and I'm pretty sure he said in an interview that the name 'AVA' for his band has something to do with her. :)

what was the last thing you sang in the shower?

Posted by sam | March 29, 2008 9:22 AM | Reply to this

do ever think about having a blink reunion?
or maybe a fuse between pluss 44 and ava
i mean blink were awesome and pluss 44 and ava are awesome to
you could have a massive band
im sure it would work....

Posted by joe | March 29, 2008 11:15 AM | Reply to this

If not a reunion, is Tom even talking to Mark and Travis anymore?

I mean, things never sort themselves out if people stop communicating and considering Tom has been all about spreading messages and bringing people together with AVA's music, it would seem pretty self-defeating if he's still out of contact with those guys.

no its just and upside down A if you look at the logo.

At what age did you discover you were "different"?

I dont belive all the things Mark have told the fans! Mark is a loser sometimes, you dont say that about a guy when you have been like a brother for 16 years!!!

Modlife is amazing guys, your missing out on loads, and its worth $6.95 a month =]
Not only has Modlife given me the oppurtunity to meet the band, I can talk to them, watch them on Modblast and Modcam =]
there is loads of more features that are hellar cool. Modlife is soo rad.
And eventually Tom plans to be able to make his Music free =]

i think it has been long enough..Tom needs to shut the shit up and talk to Mark.

FORGET TRAVIS! Get Scott back in the band =D blink' has made a hundred better songs than the one good AVA song!

andymark, you are the cunt
no body knows who split blink up, there were three members in that band, yet tom gets all the abuse.
he has moved on and has changed his direction in music, you may not like it, but why write so much abuse about him.
say if you liked a band so much, they split up, then lets say your favourite member makes a new band, and makes a different style of music, will you still listen and support him?
enough said, cunt.
