[InTheShadows102]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the song the same one that leaked a couple of days ago. From what I read, that version was only a rough concept or something to that effect. Not that I don't like the song, 'cause I do, but I was expected something added to it or something.

[bikescene]

i see BOOBIES!

The only difference I noticed was the voice-over at the beginning, which doesn't seem like much of a change.

I think this video is incredibly cool though. Props to them for trying to do something different.

[dubey]

Boobz

[astereo]

Nah, just kidding, no problem

[Cato11087]

[hollywoodending]

I dare everyone from this point foward to not mention blink.

[StimulisRocker]

haha a fare share of nudity

[Burnout2888]

The beginning has a Metal Gear Solid clip in it... I think

[hollywoodending]

haha a fare share of nudity
don't they legally have to put a disclaimer up for that? Shame on geffen.

[tomorrowiscomin]

That is a pretty good video, the song is defiently a grower

[abusedcat]

the voice at the begining is cheesey, but, i love the song.

[twelve2395]

I dare everyone from this point foward to not mention blink.

blink

[End is Forever]

looks sweet

[Mercy Medical]

boobies.

i see BOOBIES!

BoobzAfter watching it I knew that these would be the responses when coming back into the thread. lol

[TheNumberOneFan]

mmm... i would like all of this stuff so much better had he not have said in the beginning how it will be "the best thing we've ever heard." oh well..

[zerock]

well for him it seems to be the best, or it just hype, everyone does that.

[fromwithin]

this video has absolutely nothing to do with the song whatsoever. they'll have to redo it for mtv and fuse lolz though which is funny. the only highlight of the video was the hot girl in black.

[Adeniz19]

fuck boobies, it had robosapien!!

[00spool]

mmm... i would like all of this stuff so much better had he not have said in the beginning how it will be "the best thing we've ever heard." oh well..

I agree. I think I would have been more apt to like it if he had kept his mouth shut before it came out.

Plus doesn't it say that this is a "short film" inspired by the song "The Adventure" it seems more like a video for the song to me.

Someone with sense!

It's not the music video. It's just a short film inspired by the song. This isn't the first single.

[IAPAI]

this video has absolutely nothing to do with the song whatsoever. they'll have to redo it for mtv and fuse lolz though which is funny. the only highlight of the video was the hot girl in black.

first of all, you used the term lolz.
second of all, do you think they actually expect that to be shown on mtv and fuse?

[ramblinger]

with the amount of fornication going on in that video...

...life won't have to wait to long to begin.

about 9 months maybe?



and yes, the girl in the black was gorgeous. i guess that was the point though.

[stratmancj]

tom went from being a cool punk kid, to being "an artist" since the untitled album ... i liked him better before

Review of leaked video for:

Angels & Airwaves - The Adventure.

I apologise in advance if this comes out as a kind of film studies essay. My grammar isn't the best, and as it's 3:14am in the morning here in good ol' Wales, UK, my typing is bound to suffer (incase ur wondering why the hell i'm up, i suffer from 'Night Terrors', and can find no way to beat them apoart form simply not sleeping. Google it if you're wondering what they are. its not nice).Anyways, onto the main event:

I felt this video was being scrutinised due to lack of understanding, so I thought that I would review/analyse it for you guys and let you know what i think and hope you get some kind of sense from it through this. I hope you read it all, this took quite a bit of time on my behalf.

This video could be very confusing. But generally it has roughly 3 narratives/stories (maybe even 2). These are:

1 - The band all travelling to meet eachother
2 - The woman and man who eventually make love
3 - The woman dressed in white, and the single woman in black.

Once we've got these seperated, the video is pretty easy to understand and see that it does infact make sense, and there are similarities drawn through all of them. Unfortunatly for the masses, its not a music video, but something very much akin to George Lucas' 'THX 1138', this being a collection of moving images representative of what the person who made this felt. Or in this case, (presuming Tom made this video, which i think by the way, yes he did) how Tom felt this song 'The Adventure' appeared in his head, and how the music made him feel.

There are some very important scenes in the video in reguards to what AVA/Tom Delonge is trying to tell us. I'll explain these scenes as otherwise we'll be here all night.
The video is presented in black and white, which is meant to give it a timeless feel, and maybe even a 'colour blind' metaphor suggesting that we can't see things for what they really are right now in the world.
Tom seems to be racing to the rest of the band in this video, and this to me, is suggesting how he felt when he had the idea for AVA. How his heart was racing at 200 miles an hour whilst on tour in europe, and he felt he had the power to do something great. He is indeed racing to do that very thing.

A futuristic theme carries through out the video, but a kind of 60's/70's/80's idea of what the future looked like. This is simply Tom's 'retro'.

It's main theme is unison.
The band meeting up at the end, and they'd been travelling to get there. The 'adventure' of their lives if u will. They feel everythign was leading up to this point. To meeting eachother. And the girls adventure being that she was awoken with a kiss, i.e: life injected into her, and the first thing she wanted to do was make love. The ultimate act of unison.
However, in the video, the woman in the black walks away from the woman in the white, away from the unison. Which i think is toms way of telling visually about his friends wife/g.f. leaving him.Maybe even his way of telling us metaphorically of what happened to blink (someone broke away because they felt differently). The fact that everyone else is in white, and she's in black...everyone else is pure, she is not. Did she cheat on him, leave him for another guy?I dont know, but it's something negative she did.
At the end, the lights flash by, showing a progression, the song is over, but the adventure continues.

The band is one at the end, can breathe, and live, because they have eachother, and will do this together. By 'this', i mean give the world the tools to make the most of their lives and therefore make the world a better place. Instead of living in a world with 'fortitude' and 'anger', as is emphasised by the neon light displays in this video.

The scene where the man in the lab coat dissolves among the woman in white. The pure, beautiful woman all focus on this one man. An image of a robot comes up quickly, and we're presented with the man dissolving away. i think AVA is toms way of asking us to awaken from being mindless robots led by people who appear and disapear, or people who don't stick by us.
He's asking us to take life into our own hands and be ourselves and try and take on the world. cos thats the only way its gunna change and become a better place and make the 'woman in black' leave, so that only pure people (woman in white) are left. Purity and beauty is what Tom sees the world is, and what he feel sthat AVA's music helps us know we can achieve. a flawless, positive, and beautiful world.
Another theme is the title of the song: 'The Adventure'.
Where someone's coming from in life, and where they are going. It's a huge metaphor for basically saying that life is one big adventure, and in positive music, we should find a kind of hope that this adventure is incredible, and beautiful. It's what we were put here for, so let's make the most of our lives and the big adventure. The band are travelling to meet eachother, we only see this chapter in their big adventure. We have an adventure before this, and an adventure afterwards but taking into context that adventure is life. Then:
'hello, here I am, here we go, life's waiting to begin...'
Simply put: this is the beginning of our & the band members adventure with AVA.


'It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?'

Tom Delonge, this is a bold statement to make. But nonetheless, one from the heart and one with meaning. Who does live? We're all led by governments, and negative emotions such as anger and greed that we're pretty much blinded to the world and ourselves. Blind to what it and we have become. This is a request for us to wake up, injected with a burst of life, and every positive emotion and do something about it. A reqeust that we realise we'll always have hope. A request for us to make the world a better place together. A request for unison. The start of a great adventure together.

Ok, that's pretty much me all out. well, not completely, but all out for somethign i think people will actually make an attempt to read, and maybe even read it all.
It's 4:11am, and i need to get food. Pizza? tea? Tis what i'm talking about!*stomach rumbles*.

Before going though:

Tom Delonge, this video is a great success. You've managed to yet again pull yourself up many a notch, and give us somethign incredibly thought about and emotional. I thank you. And although i don't feel you need it, good luck. A man who tries to change the world knows nothing. A man who knows he can give people the tools to do something about it themselves is a great man.

Goodnight all. I hope you get some good info out of this. Re-watch the video afterwards. You'll 'get it' easily.
Nos dda (welsh for 'good night')

p.s: again, i apologise for any spelling and grammar mistakes, oh, and if i repeated anything...yeah. just, skip that bit. its 4:16am!lol. i only create perfection after 10am

[oldprospector]

Okay I like this song but really, am I the only one who thought this video sucks balls? It was awful quality and really cheesey. If that is the point then it seems pretensious and lame if not it really just sucks. What happened to "the guy who did the graphics for star wars, blah blah blah". This looks like a bad college video project. I say redo.

I understand it after reading that. Thanks.

[xllirikx]

Minority Report anyone? Yeah, Tom Cruise is going to be mad.

[duffe]

Weird video.

[EvilButters]

It was a bit cheesy, but it kind of added to the feeling of the video. I don't think this has anything to do with the AVA movie that'll be with the album. From what I gathered, I thought it was just Tom making a video to go along with "The Adventure." Maybe the movie will have better special effects...? Who knows...I guess we'll have to wait on that.

By the way, spooky2k, you are awesome. I hope that myself and the few others that responded in this thread weren't the only ones that read through your review/analysis of this video. It's not that I didn't understand the video but after reading your analysis I was able to comprehend it as a whole. So thank you for taking the time to do that. I've heard of a few of my online friends having night terrors. They sound horrible, yet they seriously interest me for some reason...

[kef300]

The video is not working for me. I get a loading clip message and then a message that says "connection closed". Any suggestions?

He's asking us to take life into our own hands and be ourselves and try and take on the world. cos thats the only way its gunna change and become a better place and make the 'woman in black' leave, so that only pure people (woman in white) are left. Purity and beauty is what Tom sees the world is, and what he feel sthat AVA's music helps us know we can achieve. a flawless, positive, and beautiful world.
Another theme is the title of the song: 'The Adventure'.
Where someone's coming from in life, and where they are going. It's a huge metaphor for basically saying that life is one big adventure, and in positive music, we should find a kind of hope that this adventure is incredible, and beautiful. It's what we were put here for, so let's make the most of our lives and the big adventure. The band are travelling to meet eachother, we only see this chapter in their big adventure. We have an adventure before this, and an adventure afterwards but taking into context that adventure is life. Then:
'hello, here I am, here we go, life's waiting to begin...'
Simply put: this is the beginning of our & the band members adventure with AVA.


'It's too bad she won't live, but then again, who does?'

Tom Delonge, this is a bold statement to make. But nonetheless, one from the heart and one with meaning. Who does live? We're all led by governments, and negative emotions such as anger and greed that we're pretty much blinded to the world and ourselves. Blind to what it and we have become. This is a request for us to wake up, injected with a burst of life, and every positive emotion and do something about it. A reqeust that we realise we'll always have hope. A request for us to make the world a better place together. A request for unison. The start of a great adventure together.

Ok, that's pretty much me all out. well, not completely, but all out for somethign i think people will actually make an attempt to read, and maybe even read it all.
It's 4:11am, and i need to get food. Pizza? tea? Tis what i'm talking about!*stomach rumbles*.

Before going though:

Tom Delonge, this video is a great success. You've managed to yet again pull yourself up many a notch, and give us somethign incredibly thought about and emotional. I thank you. And although i don't feel you need it, good luck. A man who tries to change the world knows nothing. A man who knows he can give people the tools to do something about it themselves is a great man.



Wow, good deal, I'm glad to see that someone else actually watched the video instead of rubbing one out to the naked girl in it. I was getting pissed that everyone was just like "boobs!" I'm glad im not the only one appreciating the effort put into this video

[Kyner]

Tom's voice is more annoying than usual.

[electricpatrick]

is there a trick to get it to play? it says connection closed when i try to play it

definately seeing the THX 1138 connection. awesome video though, save for some lame effects.

and @above, you have to choose high or low quality on the right, first.

I do not like this video at all

I will say it again...the music and video do not correalate at all.

Although I still look forward to the movie.

[thebestkylever]

After watching it I knew that these would be the responses when coming back into the thread. lol

i really like it anyway, but the :boobies: were just an added bonus.

fuck boobies, it had robosapien!!
Haha exactly

[Evolution Kid]

is there a trick to get it to play? it says connection closed when i try to play it

that happened to me, but i just repeatedly click the pic until it played.

this video has absolutely nothing to do with the song whatsoever. they'll have to redo it for mtv and fuse lolz though which is funny. the only highlight of the video was the hot girl in black.

it's not an official video but a short film inspired by the song.

and while i don't think the two (i.e. song with the video) really go that well together, i like them both. especially after reading through the lengthy interpretation of the video.

[TheLifeMelodic]

Does anyone hear The Cure like guitar sounds in this song or am I going crazy?
There's just something very 80's about this song.

[darthrupp83]

The beginning has a Metal Gear Solid clip in it... I think


Nope..it is a Blade Runner quote, a fine film when Ridley Scott was truly a cool director

Review of leaked video for:

Angels & Airwaves - The Adventure.

I apologise in advance if this comes out as a kind of film studies essay. My grammar isn't the best, and as it's 3:14am in the morning here in good ol' Wales, UK, my typing is bound to suffer (incase ur wondering why the hell i'm up, i suffer from 'Night Terrors', and can find no way to beat them apoart form simply not sleeping. Google it if you're wondering what they are. its not nice).Anyways, onto the main event:

I felt this video was being scrutinised due to lack of understanding, so I thought that I would review/analyse it for you guys and let you know what i think and hope you get some kind of sense from it through this. I hope you read it all, this took quite a bit of time on my behalf.

This video could be very confusing. But generally it has roughly 3 narratives/stories (maybe even 2). These are:

1 - The band all travelling to meet eachother
2 - The woman and man who eventually make love
3 - The woman dressed in white, and the single woman in black.

Once we've got these seperated, the video is pretty easy to understand and see that it does infact make sense, and there are similarities drawn through all of them. Unfortunatly for the masses, its not a music video, but something very much akin to George Lucas' 'THX 1138', this being a collection of moving images representative of what the person who made this felt. Or in this case, (presuming Tom made this video, which i think by the way, yes he did) how Tom felt this song 'The Adventure' appeared in his head, and how the music made him feel.

There are some very important scenes in the video in reguards to what AVA/Tom Delonge is trying to tell us. I'll explain these scenes as otherwise we'll be here all night.
The video is presented in black and white, which is meant to give it a timeless feel, and maybe even a 'colour blind' metaphor suggesting that we can't see things for what they really are right now in the world.
Tom seems to be racing to the rest of the band in this video, and this to me, is suggesting how he felt when he had the idea for AVA. How his heart was racing at 200 miles an hour whilst on tour in europe, and he felt he had the power to do something great. He is indeed racing to do that very thing.

A futuristic theme carries through out the video, but a kind of 60's/70's/80's idea of what the future looked like. This is simply Tom's 'retro'.

It's main theme is unison.
The band meeting up at the end, and they'd been travelling to get there. The 'adventure' of their lives if u will. They feel everythign was leading up to this point. To meeting eachother. And the girls adventure being that she was awoken with a kiss, i.e: life injected into her, and the first thing she wanted to do was make love. The ultimate act of unison.
However, in the video, the woman in the black walks away from the woman in the white, away from the unison. Which i think is toms way of telling visually about his friends wife/g.f. leaving him.Maybe even his way of telling us metaphorically of what happened to blink (someone broke away because they felt differently). The fact that everyone else is in white, and she's in black...everyone else is pure, she is not. Did she cheat on him, leave him for another guy?I dont know, but it's something negative she did.
At the end, the lights flash by, showing a progression, the song is over, but the adventure continues.

The band is one at the end, can breathe, and live, because they have eachother, and will do this together. By 'this', i mean give the world the tools to make the most of their lives and therefore make the world a better place. Instead of living in a world with 'fortitude' and 'anger', as is emphasised by the neon light displays in this video.

The scene where the man in the lab coat dissolves among the woman in white. The pure, beautiful woman all focus on this one man. An image of a robot comes up quickly, and we're presented with the man dissolving away. i think AVA is toms way of asking us to awaken from being mindless robots led by people who appear and disapear, or people who don't stick by us.
He's asking us to take life into our own hands and be ourselves and try and take on the world. cos thats the only way its gunna change and become a better place and make the 'woman in black' leave, so that only pure people (woman in white) are left. Purity and beauty is what Tom sees the world is, and what he feel sthat AVA's music helps us know we can achieve. a flawless, positive, and beautiful world.

Spooky2k-Great review, I know it helped me out alot.

[Peter1987]

a "short film inspiried by the adventure"


so, uh, music video?


tom thinks hes hot shit. this band is pretty lame.

[IamTheINDUSTRY]

please explain how that was "inspired" by the song bc i have no idea. i love the song...but am totally lost after watching this.

edit: i read that review and now i understand.

[Manbotisdead]

I understand it after reading that. Thanks.

Honestly, who cares about concepts and videos, just enjoy the fucking music.

I actually am kinda pleased with this. Its not epic, but its quite decent.

[spooky2k]

It was a bit cheesy, but it kind of added to the feeling of the video. I don't think this has anything to do with the AVA movie that'll be with the album. From what I gathered, I thought it was just Tom making a video to go along with "The Adventure." Maybe the movie will have better special effects...? Who knows...I guess we'll have to wait on that.

By the way, spooky2k, you are awesome. I hope that myself and the few others that responded in this thread weren't the only ones that read through your review/analysis of this video. It's not that I didn't understand the video but after reading your analysis I was able to comprehend it as a whole. So thank you for taking the time to do that. I've heard of a few of my online friends having night terrors. They sound horrible, yet they seriously interest me for some reason...

lol, i wish they were interesting. for some reason they get worse around february/march time.
I find all the stuff i've leanrt about controlling them interessting though. Like, Lucid dreaming...which is bascailly how to realise ur not actually awake no maatter how real it feels, and being able to control the dream. that stuff is cool, but the night terrors are horrid, specially when they're bad. people jsut look at u like ur crazy wen u tell them about what happened. lol.


Thanks for all the positive feedback on that analysis guys. Tis appreciated.

I am male, so i can't technically giove birth, although i guess if you have babies, and you're offering for me to take them away from you, im sure that's illegal., so thanks for the offer, but i can't.

[DroppedUrPocket]

boobies.
I was hoping the first post would be about the boobies. And it was. Thank you.

[DarkTideMD]

The line at the beginning is from the end of the movie "Blade Runner", one of the best sci-fi films ever, which is clearly one of the influences for the video and the song.

[blinkdude127]

I still cant wait for this album..

[blender]

i love the concept for this video, regardless of if it had anything to do with the song, i like the quick scene changes and the distinct blurring/greyscaling of it

this looks promising

[thesego211]

there were a lot of things i didn't understand about the video until i read that guy's analysis, so thanks man. after watching it again, i enjoyed it more. i am stoked for this album, we'll see how good it is as a whole. but in general, this is a good start.

I guess you haven't seen the movie Twins??

meh

[druck]

first of all, you used the term lolz.
second of all, do you think they actually expect that to be shown on mtv and fuse?
and third of all, you didn't write the song and have absolutely no idea what they were thinking when they wrote it so shut the fuck up. (not you, the guy you quoted)

awesome video.

[Tom Da Bomb]

this video is every mans sexual fantasy.... if we could create women that love. and sex um all up at the same time.

i love AVA

[thebestkylever]

I was hoping the first post would be about the boobies. And it was. Thank you.

i wanted that too. i didnt even watch the whole thing to ensure i had a better chance.

[CorporateFish]

this won't work on my computer. rats.

the scientist looks like will forte from snl

[brandneww]

awesome, but clearly for a more mature audience.

[Fury15]

Thanks for giving me credit for the submission >:o
Nah, just kidding, no problem
why does this happen every thread. honestly, do you want a cookie?
Minority Report anyone? Yeah, Tom Cruise is going to be mad.
the very first thing i thought of when i saw the video, i thought i was the only one

[dontfront]

that was like a bad porno...

[spooky2k]

I guess you haven't seen the movie Twins??

meh

Lol, i haven't but i know the story.
We could do that i guess? Im in wales, and ur in canada, and im p[retty gifted, so u could have my babies if u wish?:P

[IAPAI]

this video has absolutely nothing to do with the song whatsoeve. they'll have to redo it for mtv and fuse lolz though which is funny. the only highlight of the video was the hot girl in black.

it was used as sarcasm in reference to mtv and fuse, dumbass. get a clue.

haha. alright. I'm the one that's clueless. Read the review.

[zizou1790]

aweeesome video

[oxfordqueef]

these guys are so overrated. it's ridiculous .

[somethingyellow]

i cant wait for this album :)

[garlicgirl1210]

i can hear it now:
"oooh...look at us....we are going to save music. we are going to make a crappy video and love the fact that people will still drool all over it because we know how to hype ourselves."

the music is okay. but in regards to like the whole package (videos and attitudes included) i am just disappointed.

i really had faith in tom, but know i am thinking that he just may be so full of himself that he will just explode one day. or just breakdown completely. or just think he is cooler than cool and do stuff like this for the rest of his life.

[disneywj]

Im gonna agree with everyone on here that has said....

"Its good but nowhere near the hype"

It better blow me off my feet and paralyze me from the waist down with the way tom is talking....

Am i right?

[Digitalcursive]

Yeah, the video is pretty much a rip off of a lot of shit. It's pretentious beyond all reasoning and I think Tom has lost it. His mentality has gotten way ahead of his ability to actually manifest his ideas into a physical artifact. I know legions of his fans are going to pine after him and the rest of the band like it's this huge artistic endeavor, but seriously, it's not that good. I love Blink. They are good music and they've been extremely awesome, my favorite band. I know that they aren't the best band ever though. You want some real art? Check out Deloused in the Comatorium and Frances the Mute by The Mars Volta. That is probably the pinnacle of artistic music in the moment in our time.

[Grybo]

i love me some b00bz

[frankpistol]

like half of that movie was made on my campus! YAY UCSD woooot wooot ahhh giesel library. gilman parking structure. warren neon lights. price center basement. great hall.... ahhh

i agree with what you are saying about the mars volta, but they will never catch on with a wide audience of people the way that angels and airwaves wants to. it's not because the mars volta is not talented, their music is just too progressive for a ton of people to get into. anyway, let's all hold judgement on this band until the whole album comes out. i know it will be cool to hate on this and say, "not as great as he said." but try to see where he is coming from. he wants to change the world, lets give him a chance. you don't change the world saying, "yea i hope you like my band. i think it's ok."

p.s. the mars volta are amazing

this video was really weird. i think it can be considered porn. oh yeah, this band is just the same as the last blink record, so i don't know why everyone would be so hyped. i loved the untitled blink record, don't get me wrong, but listening to tom delonge sing for anywhere from 4 to 8 minutes long, it just gets annoying and repeatitive.

[jnkbondtrader]

this video feels like it has no concept its just a bunch of different scenes, some cool camera work and nudity. i guess that sells though?

[EvilButters]

this video feels like it has no concept its just a bunch of different scenes, some cool camera work and nudity.

Read spooky2k's analysis of the video and tell me there isn't one or several concepts to the video. After reading that, there's definitely something to that video.

i guess that sells though?

Sells what? Technically, they haven't made anything off of this video. It's not going to be on MTV. According to Tom, it was going to be how he debuted "The Adventure" to all of his eager fans before it leaked.
