_Kyle_ Posted June 6, 2018 Report Share Posted June 6, 2018 I think he got some technique advice and broke his chords. If you don't know what you're doing you can really damage them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic vinegar Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 This all stems from Tom wearing his guitar too low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Posted June 7, 2018 Report Share Posted June 7, 2018 Ever since I found out about Tom's back problems being caused by playing his guitar too low, I have been super paranoid about how high I hold it. I already had it a reasonable height but I always panic if it's low at all haha - in a weird way, what happened to him might have caused thousands of guitar playing kids to think twice about the looking cool aspect of playing guitar.

A lot of truth to this. I used to play guitar super low the way Tom did and realized as I got older it was retarded and hurting my back, so I moved way up. 3 years ago I fractured 3 vertebrae in my back and am still dealing with that. I can't even imagine playing like that as much as Tom did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mau5 Posted June 17, 2018 Report Share Posted June 17, 2018 AVA had some sick merch back in the day - I don't get why they don't go back to some of those designs or even the brands they were carrying. I remember they had a Moon Atomic hoodie that was super rad, and even the basic AVA hoodie that was freyed and had a giant stiched logo on the back of the hoodie. I got drunk and lost both of those hoodies, and I would be forever bummed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSandt Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Yes, there's a picture of that thing in the dictionary under the definition for "super rad". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted June 20, 2018 Report Share Posted June 20, 2018 I kind of miss the war imagery AVA used during the WDNTW era. I liked it better than the moon man logo they plaster over everything these days. Not that I don't like the moon man, but it's been done to death at this point I think. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theedge00 Posted June 24, 2018 Report Share Posted June 24, 2018 WDNTW was a nice little concept record. Would have been cool if he just left it at that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheerios4u98 Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 I randomly decided to put AVA on shuffle last night on a two-hour drive. Ended up listening to AVA for the entire two hours. Damn, I forgot how much I like this band. Start the Machine, Heaven, Diary, Valkyrie Missile, Chasing Shadows, fucking good stuff. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
