[BlinkFoundMSU]

im torn wether or not to watch, i despise tom for bringing an end to blink, however, i am intrigued cause i haven't heard them live.

sell outs, i already heard "the adventure" on a preview for the OC while watching 24.

oh yeah, everyone is 20 minutes behind tonight cause of the president's speech

[Unclear Lies]

My guess is the music will be okay, however, Tom's voice will not be

[Nate_RAWKS]

ohhh i'm up...and ready!!! :O

[Isbu]

I dunno but i just cant agree here...how is he a sellout? He wasnt what brought an end to blink 182, blink 182 brought an end to blink 182. And even still, if he had left Blink to start AVA...how would that make him a sellout? That means he wouldve left one of the biggest bands in the world to start all over again with a less pop sound. That to me is quite the opposite of selling out

[BlinkFoundMSU]

And yeah, you're an idiot. I hate people blaming bands for selling out. Fuck you.
that statement makes about as much sense as me saying "i hate all people from minnesota"

someone obviously should have poured bleach in your gene pool

[Tmovielife16]

so many commercials, this is the 3rd break without any real show,

stupid

[enj0i29]

that statement makes about as much sense as me saying "i hate all people from minnesota"

someone obviously should have poured bleach in your gene pool

ooh! zinger!
How are they "sellouts" for getting airtime on a show? It never makes sense when I hear people rambling on about a band that "used to be cool before everyone knew about them". What's your reasoning for calling them sellouts anyway?

[Tmovielife16]

his voice sounds like shit, and the guitarist looks like a tool


that is all

[Frank Giaramita]

He's flat as hell on almost every note he sings.

[yutsmcgee]

The Edge and Bono called Tom right before the taping and said they wanted their song back.

[Frank Giaramita]

his voice sounds like shit, and the guitarist looks like a tool


that is all
How does someone go about "looking like a tool"?

...Unless of course they're dressed up as a wrench or a hammer or something.

[jtrocka182]

Decent performance

[enj0i29]

I thought it was good compared to other bands I've seen play on letterman or leno.

[shes.a.ghost]

better start 'splainin newbie

I dont need to explain anything. You explained that you were an idiot the second you submitted your reply to this thread.

[meeotch]

this is true

lol, i dont know, he looked like he doesn't really fit in, i dont know, its the way he came off to me, im dissapointed in the performance, the cd is better though, so it was probably just an off day

[Get Fucked]

I'm not disappointed, Tom sang like he always has. The instrumentation was better than I expected, and Tom usually doesn't play as well live .. so that was nice.

[Nate_RAWKS]

Tom still can't hit a note live for the life of him.....haha... but he's doing a bit better since his days on stage with Blink. The music sounded perfect though....

[xearlynovemberx]

tom is prob still sick

[shane hennessey]

his voice sucked

[Get Fucked]

lol, i dont know, he looked like he doesn't really fit in, i dont know, its the way he came off to me, im dissapointed in the performance, the cd is better though, so it was probably just an off dayYeah he sure is a tool as opposed to Emily Heines who just stands still during T.V. performances because she's just too hip ya know. Hahaha, i love Metric either way.

[JTrain12]

yea not bad at all, cant wait to see them in DC...drums were tight, at least i thought so...

[patheticdf]

what the hell. besides some really decent drumming - so medioker....

my band could do way better and we're only 3 months old. www.myspace.com/thestilllifemusic

[meeotch]

haha agreed

[Tmovielife16]

when she was on tv, the stage looked a bit cramped and when i saw them live she jumped around a bit and was moving about the stage, but they sound 10x better live then on cd, i think AVA sounds better on cd, thats all

[kissbangkill]

I'm not disappointed, Tom sang like he always has. The instrumentation was better than I expected, and Tom usually doesn't play as well live .. so that was nice.

that's exactly what i said. his voice is meant for albums. mark and tom have never sounded great live vocally, so to expect more is expecting too much. i thought he sounded decent. the music was what i was more concerned about and that sounded great and it was a good performance.

what the hell. besides some really decent drumming - so medioker....

shameless plug

[RiCCioLi]

Wow first off those commercial breaks are bull crap. It was like 4 commercial breaks without nothing and I was getting annoyed...lol I thought the Omen preview was for AVA at first and hyping them up.
The preformance was decent. I hate to say it, but Tom's voice wasnt too great, but no one on Letterman sounds good. I guess Ill be able to tell tomorrow night in NYC when I finally see them live!

[Tmovielife16]

I'm just messing with you anyways, dude I saw Metric perform at my girlfriend's highschool they were GREAT.


thats pretty cool, i got into them late, but they were great, along with islands and men women and children, awesome show

[1Roth4]

i enjoyed it.... tom never exceeds my expectations.... but he never lets me down either...

im excited to see them on the 24th... with....... a special someone.... and my old lady too... ;)

r u going to the chicago one too?

[Frank Giaramita]

Yeah, you're pretty much a giant moron.

Yes, Tom is "selling out" by quitting his multi platinum band to start a new band that isn't even big enough to headline their own tour. Makes a ton of sense...

Also, "newbie"!? Who the hell uses that as offense in an argument?

[Honest2aFault]

The Cure said they want their effect pedals back... It was okay... I still feel bad for everybody involved in anything relating to these souls formerly known as blink 182. What do you think scott raynor is thinking? and why isnt he with tom or mark? They both need to pull their heads out of their asses and Travis needs to work on hip hop production with good hip hop artists. None of this shampoo commercial bullshit.

[WarpSpeedChewy]

I thought the performance was pretty good. I thought Tom's voice sounded good as well. It almost sounded more clear. Plus a couple of cool guitar bits resulted in a good performance.

[Guy]

anyone see the ben lee performance on kimmel? now THAT was pretty sweet. loved the hospital setting, the ted leo namedropping and the sweet melodies.

Yeah, what the fuck? That Cure "joke" was terrible, but what does this mean?

[Nate_RAWKS]

I hate to say it, but Tom's voice wasnt too great, but no one on Letterman sounds good. I guess Ill be able to tell tomorrow night in NYC when I finally see them live!


I wouldn't get your hopes up that he's going to sing like on the album...haha...it's Tom. But whatever i'm sure it will still be a great show...I know i'm going next Wednesday and couldn't be more excited.

Umm for the fucking zillionth time that effect on the pedal is ridiculously common. 2ndly blink has pretty much given everyone everything - they made the skate punk albums the pop punk - the straight pop rock- emo tinge - they started experimenting. We as fans have tons of different blink material we shouldnt complain when different members decide they want to branch out. I mean they have a hugely successful band and you only get one life they have been afforded a great opportunity now at the age of 30 after many years of playing as blink to use their success to do alot of different things.

The performance was good. Toms always going to mess up in the singing people he started in blink they didnt care how bad or good they were at singing - regardless people seemed to enjoy him. Blinks live album toms voice was soild - he changed his singing style which probably annoys people, but you cant fault him for not singing the exact same way for his whole career. Tom did awesome on the guitar though hes usually sloppy. i think ava will get better and better with each album

[FstFtsVsFences]

I for one thought that was really good.

[Frank Giaramita]

frank are you going tomorrow night to see ava or nah?
Nope, I can't afford to make it into the city right now. Debt sucks.

[1Roth4]

r u going to the chicago one too?

nope.. just toronto

[1Roth4]

that's me btw

B-)

hahah... you know it

[enj0i29]

nope.. just toronto

ah. I'm guessing that the chicago one is next day then, or two days later.

[1Roth4]

Nope, I can't afford to make it into the city right now. Debt sucks.

i hear ya bro..

you should get tater totts to hook you up....

make a documentary for the site... call it "Franky goes to the City"

[Frank Giaramita]

i hear ya bro..

you should get tater totts to hook you up....

Haha. I'm on guestlist for it and stuff. I just don't have a car or any way of getting there.

[dubey]

I'm never going to be able to get into them. It just doesn't feel right.

[1Roth4]

Haha. I'm on guestlist for it and stuff. I just don't have a car or any way of getting there.

ahhhh the perks...

if i were in your city, i'd take you... just to say I got to escourt ' The Frank Giaramita" to Angels and Airwaves.

[1Roth4]

Haha. I'm on guestlist for it and stuff. I just don't have a car or any way of getting there.

Ap.net should invest in company cars.

Tate needs to get on that shit...

[Frank Giaramita]

ahhhh the perks...

if i were in your city, i'd take you... just to say I got to escourt ' The Frank Giaramita" to Angels and Airwaves.
Hahaha, that's ridiculous. I shouldn't even be on guestlist for the show, I should have to pay like everyone else has to. Usually I buy tickets anyway, but right now I'm a lot more broke then usual.

[onxpoint]

i'd really love this band with different vocals. the guitar hook for the song is fucking stellar, but i've never been a fan of tom's, be it in blink, boxcar racer, or ava

ben lee was great on kimmel

[xearlynovemberx]

Nope, I can't afford to make it into the city right now. Debt sucks.

ah bummer, yeah debt does suck

[monstersonmaple]

i just got back from the bowery ballroom show, they are incredible live. i hung around after the show and met tom and ryan really quick, they signed a promo poster that i designed for them. ill post pics of it when i get them up.

[Drew Beringer]

Man, I forgot to tune in, I hope Punkrock Vids or something has this video up tomorrow.

[Isbu]

Yeah he sure is a tool as opposed to Emily Heines who just stands still during T.V. performances because she's just too hip ya know. Hahaha, i love Metric either way.
This past time she kinda moved.

[Isbu]

Man, I forgot to tune in, I hope Punkrock Vids or something has this video up tomorrow.
Thats what im hoping for. By the time I remembered, Mr. Wick's show was on.

[oldskool]

wow, that was dissapointing. i miss blink, and EVERYTHING about blink.

[MarkyMark1984]

My guess is the music will be okay, however, Tom's voice will not be

Your guess was correct. I thought the music was decent, but Tom's voice was pretty shaky. i mean, it is national television and it's his band's first time being on national tv, but still. he's done this kinda stuff before. he should be used to it by now. tom is so emo. i love it.

[comeontakeadare]

The Cure said they want their effect pedals back...

too bad all their effects were rack mounted ...

[tbag311]

totally missed it....damn

Thank you.

I liked the music, but the vocals were repugnant. I'll still pick up the album, though.

[blinkme]

i can imagine this....

a few years ago, it was "so eeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrssssssss your olllllllllllllllidaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay"

tonight - "eeeeehlow, 'ere i am. aaand 'ere we gooooooooooooo liiiiife's waaaaaaaiting to beeeegin"

haha yes that is pretty much what its like.

I've seen them perform twice now. the first performance was their first uk gig. the music was good but the vocals were as predicted not quite perfect. the second performance was at the give it a name event when both the music and the vocals were pulled off perfectly.

and yes i have already payed for tickets to see them twice more in london :)

[ztr]

that took away all of my desire to see them live. he didnt hit a single note.

[KarateExplosion]

How does someone go about "looking like a tool"?

...Unless of course they're dressed up as a wrench or a hammer or something.
what a horrible comeback.

[PunkDrums182]

that's exactly what i said. his voice is meant for albums. mark and tom have never sounded great live vocally, so to expect more is expecting too much. i thought he sounded decent. the music was what i was more concerned about and that sounded great and it was a good performance.

I don't know, Mark normally sounds pretty good live I think.

[zizou1790]

I don't know, Mark normally sounds pretty good live I think.

yeah mark is brilliant live tom always sounds whiny live though, but together they sound angelic.... blink get the fuck back together

[atextbooktraged]

so going back to the performance...yeah, ok the singing wasn't great BUT it was better than that TBS performance the other night when they destroyed "make damn sure" (was that leno or letterman?). One thing nobody is mentioning is the SHITTY BASS TONE AND PLAYING. That guys sucks bad. I'd bail on the glam punk bass player and get someone with good tone and skills. One thing mark always had in blink was good tone. This band is dissapointing. The CD is pretty weak and the live stuff I searched on you tube was a joke. We'll see how they fair in the end. I think it will sell well...but I think tom delonge hit his peak a long time ago.

[HiddenInNJ]

My guess is the music will be okay, however, Tom's voice will not be

agreed his voice was strained

[LifeOnaPlate]

I thought it was a pretty good performance (especially considering some of blink's terrible drunken shows,) and I think it's great that Tom is experimenting.

Here's an mp3 and video of the performance, taken from the youtube link.
