platypus409 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 Seriously? No one has appreciated Tom Delonge since early February? So fuck you guys but Tom singing whether young awesome sounding Tom or older mouth full of Vienna sausages Tom is emotional as fuck. His lyrics/vocals make you feel something. The newer terribly over produced Blink gives you no feeling at all.Totally forgot that even his guitar parts (recycled or not) are magical.Tom's music = "feelings"New Blink = "relevance?" Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkDammit Platypus, you've gone and made a damn fool of yourself.I still stand by my point that Tom's vocals for the most part are filled with authentic emotion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in AvA songs you get the impression that this is exactly what Tom explicitly believes and what he wants the listener to think, but that's also precisely the reason why they fail.

Boring.........Alright Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 AVA is one of the few bands that can put me in a good mood no matter what. So that's something I guess Edit: He did use to sound so much better live though (just wanted a reason to throw this in here, haven't seen this vid before) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted May 1, 2017 Report Share Posted May 1, 2017 AVA puts me in a good mood too. I think that's what I like the most about it. It's not groundbreaking, it's not always that impressive, but something about the music (at least the first two albums) just had this special feeling and mood to them that I always found uplifting and I definitely used that music in the past to put myself in a better mood if I needed it. I haven't really listened to AVA in a while but I might have to give them another listen later. I think for me personally it might also have something to do with nostalgia, I got into AVA at time in my life that was important and exciting for me musically, and listening to this music now sometimes takes me back to then which is always fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlinkAngels182 Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 The first two angels albums were epic.. loved everything about them... and then tom fuckin lost his shit(even more then the first blink breakup) he wrote two decent albums then went on this shit fuck LOVE rampage and then everything he has written since has sucked dog dick. I'd be lying my ass off if I didn't say sometimes I miss tom.. but he's a self centered weird fuck now and I personally want him nowhere near blink anymore ?

I'll never understand those who absolutely despise the first two angels albums as there are so many songs that totally could have been Blink songs.

Low Value Boy Posted May 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Big fan of Overload, feels like it could of been a blink song. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I feel like all the songs from Chasing Shadows feel like blink songs apart from the song Chasing Shadows itself (maybe that could've been an ending song, similar to ILWY on the American version of the smiley face album, but it would've been a little different). A couple from the Dream Walker album I felt the same about too. Overload is the most obvious example from that EP though. I'd choose Mercenaries from TDW.

Love the part with the bra too. There will always be moments where we see classic Tom DeLonge on the stage even in AVA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Don't want to hold you down on this, but... dod you know those live videos were doctored in studio as fuck? Autotuned and pitch corrected Tom always sounds cool: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thongrider Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 I like that performance too, doctored or not. I like the guitar parts better in that version, sounds less like Anthem Part 2. Everything's Magic that is. That It's Hurt sounds really monotonous and boring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted May 2, 2017 Report Share Posted May 2, 2017 Yeah, don't get me wrong, hahaha. I kinda enjoy that concert too, but to each its own. At the end of the day, AvA was not that bad playing live. The main problem was how bad Tom sung a lot of times. I still don't get why he wanted to use voice effects knowing how bad they sounded while singing that bad. I mean, if you hit 7 notes bad, and you apply an echo while singing them live, you'll have thousands of bad notes resonating. But hey!!! This is a Tom DeLonge appreciation thread!!!

Boring.........Alright Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I know this is the Tom appreciation thread, and I love Tom don't get me wrong. But this video is awesome and I there is no current topic where this would fit naturally. Un doctored performance. I guess this doesn't fit here either but fuck it 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
