pipe dream, right?
At a recent Atticus clothing show Tom Delonge and his band Angels and Airwaves took to the stage for a short 3 song set, during the course of the set it was noticeable Delonge was acting distant and distracted from his new band mates. In return his band mates gave the lead singer frosty looks during the entire set, and there was no banter with the crowd at all during the show. This set was only supposed to be a 3 song set according to the show promoter, unexplainably after the 3 song set which was in all honesty was quite shabby, due to Delonge being the main focus of the band and his lazy attitude, Delonge unexplainably re took to the stage alone 5 minutes later.
This time Delonge was in different clothes to the black emo attire he previously wore, this was a different Delonge in a backwards baseball cap, 3 quarter length shorts and white Macbeth top, strikingly similar to the attire he wore during his Blink 182 days. On his return to the stage he no longer had his trademark Tom Delonge Gibson ES-333 in his hand but a plain white Fender, again one strikingly similar to the one he used in his previous Blink days. Nobody was aware of what Delonge was doing, least of all the promoter who was visibly trying to pull Delonge off the stage, however with no luck.
Delonge proceeded to silence the crowd then played a full rendition of the Blink 182 smash hit ‘Stay Together For The Kids’, a song previously sung in unison with former band member Mark Hoppus. However it was Delonge and Delonge alone with his guitar as stunned onlookers stood in disbelief to what was taking place. Delonge sang all his parts and played all his parts in those 3 minutes with more passion and drive than the whole 25 minute 3 song set he just performed with Angels and Airwaves put together.
However during the course of the song obviously he was alone without his former band mates, and when it came to the Hoppus verse of the song instead of covering it, he left it mysteriously silent with just hi
plus 44's hasn't logged their myspace since april and delayed their album due to funding, although travis and mark are undoubtably millionaires and mark just got done producing a band called koopa, i dont see why he wouldn't produce himself instead. along with this, tom has been extremely reminiscent of his blink days, judging by videos on youtube as he covers blink songs quite regularly now.
The band would not reunite until April (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April)2000 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000), when the Fuji Festival in Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japan) offered Weezer a high-paying gig to play in August (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August) 2000. The festival served as a catalyst for Weezer's productivity, and from April to May 2000, the band rehearsed and demoed new songs in Los Angeles. The band returned to live shows in June 2000, but without the Weezer name. Instead the shows featured the group's first use of the pseudonym Goat Punishment so they could play to only longtime fans who would recognize the name.
i'm kinda speculating that blink-182 might be playing with the pseudonym angels and airwaves at warped tour. this really isn't an official thread in the least bit, but the more i look into this, the more of a possibility there seems to be. wishful thinking, maybe, but to see them and against me in the same night would complete me.
