what happens to AVA / +44?

[rainman]

not that I expect many people to care, nor do I, but it's an interesting substory that I haven't seen discussed anywhere following tonight's reformation. AVA had supposedly begun recording a new album... +44 might have been killed off last month with Hoppus' solo plans, but either way, we lack a definitive answer.

[TheOtherAndrew]

+44 is done

AVA unfortunately is not.

[Hey Kevin]

doesn't matter
they weren't good
whatever Blink 182 writes in the future wont be good

[Velvetground]

The Blink182 thing was actually a perfectly executed April Fools joke, you'll see come April 1st.

[MADSTA]

That would be the most cruel joke ever.
I'd cry.

[shit stroll]

/thread.

[rainman]

no one else thinks it would be odd/tedious for Tom to continue on with AVA now?

[rainman]

/thread.

doesn't matter, it's still them

[batmannj]

i hope AVA still makes music....i know i am in the minority here

[x togepi x]

doesn't matter, it's still them

This.



they were always terrible.

[rainman]

i hope AVA still makes music....i know i am in the minority here

they have a few decent songs, although everything kinda sounds the same with them with the weird guitar and all. my issue is that it might cause internal blink strife if Tom continues on with AVA, a la Box Car Racer...

[Velvetground]

They just want to get paid.
















someone had to say it.

[s.t.e.v.e.n.]

AVA is meh at best
+44 was just to hold you over while you wished for a Bilink return. They are no longer needed.

[rainman]

They just want to get paid.

of course that's a consideration, but if it were the *only* consideration this would have happened sooner / they never would have broken up in the first place

[alexxandra]

who cares. neither of them were that great anyways.
Blink is back. lets all forget about the side projects.

[BlinkxExists21]

+44 is done

major lolz.

[steviestare]

I think AvA has one or two mediocre albums left, at best. Tom has run out of material.

i know this may get me killed, but I like AVA and Boxcar more than blink

[rainman]

it's interesting that the three albums Tom has done outside of blink are all concept albums.

[TheOtherAndrew]

Box Car Racer was not a concept album.

[robat19]

Wonder what's happening with Mark's solo tour he mentioned?

[BlinkxExists21]

how come in the new blink photo tom's staring out into the distance? i hope he's going to act normal.

[BlinkxExists21]

Wonder what's happening with Mark's solo tour he mentioned?

i hope he doesn't do it.

[rainman]

Box Car Racer was not a concept album.

you sure? it seemed to detail something apocalyptic... amazon markets it as such

[rainman]

how come in the new blink photo tom's staring out into the distance? i hope he's going to act normal.

he seemed very awkward on stage tonight too, almost as if he was there against his will.

[steviestare]

I think a lot of the new blink stuff is driven by Tom. Read the announcement on the official site. I reeks of the AvA announcement. Just slightly toned down.

[CarryOn09]

hahhahaha niiice.

ill be happy as a clam if AvA breaks up. what a shit band. +44 was a tide over anyways. id rather have blink back then both of them making new records.

[steviestare]

That is just his deal. He has been awkward in situations like that for a long time.

[steviestare]

It was inspired by "War" and shit. Not concept.

[rainman]

I'll take your word for it. I only got into blink in 2007 so I don't have much to compare it to.

[BlinkxExists21]

damn you all, i haven't seen it. won't be aired for another week here :-/

[Keagan Ilvonen]

I think the best response is,

who cares?

[steviestare]

I'll take your word for it. I only got into blink in 2007 so I don't have much to compare it to.

Of all the times I have seen him live and of various videos I have watched. He does fine when it is an interview to an camera. When it is infront of a crowd, he seems to get awkward. At least from the TOYPAJ era on. People might argue this, but from what I have seen, that is pretty normal for him.

[rainman]

It was inspired by "War" and shit. Not concept.

it is listed as a concept album in many independent places, which is where I may have picked up the misconception. then again this could be more of an opinion thing than something with an actual correct answer.

I-Empire was also war-like, though you may be referring to something else with "War" that I'm not picking up. the only think I can think of is the U2 album but that doesn't make much sense.

[steviestare]

damn you all, i haven't seen it. won't be aired for another week here :-/

Go to MTV.com They have a video of it.

[wewascontenders]

haha uhh that would make it a concept actually, but it wasn't, some of the songs were war related, but not a majority of them.

it's on YouTube

BCR and AvA were both inspired by war according to Tom. It could be concept, but I think that is giving Tom a bit too much credit.

[BlinkxExists21]

but that will ruin the surprise steven! :-(

[steviestare]

Surprise of what.

They have the whole clip of them.

[BlinkxExists21]

it's just better to watch them come on tv :-d

Hook your computer up to the TV and stream it.

[CarryOn09]

tom is a douche

[steviestare]

tom is a douche

Let's see if he shakes it off.

[CarryOn09]

hope he got all of his jollies out with AvA for "important music"

that was some grade a bullshit

Lol.

too technical mate.

i'll probably give in by mid-week and watch it on youtube.

[CarryOn09]

i liked +44 so much more than AvA.

I might start using the term "mate." You keep using it and I want to now.

dude, your username is Blink Exists.

just go ahead and give in already.

remember, he thought AVA would be the biggest development in the history of rock music back in 2005/2006. and that's hardly an exaggerated paraphrase.

[CarryOn09]

haha.
:bow:

He took a lot of that back in '07 or '08. Blamed it on narcotics.

[BlinkxExists21]

i liked +44 so much more than AvA.

i didn't find ava's music itself that horrible, just the theatrics with tom. and their weird video clips. but +44 was definitely better

it's the latest craze hun.

[steviestare]

AvA would have been fine and ranked right next to +44 for me if Tom had let his ego go. Minus the egotistical Tom, AvA was on par with +44.

AvA was like u2 if bono had lost all of his talent, and the edge had exclusivly used effects pedals instead of actually playing his guitar

[BlinkxExists21]

This is true.

[Foxholes]

I like AVA's music somewhat, not Tom's singing style. They should get a new vocalist.

[bradsonemanband]

what did Atom say on Modlife's chat tonight?

"On February 9, 2009, Atom Willard posted on the band's Modlife website that Angels & Airwaves is still a band. They plan to finish the new album sometime in 2009, before the blink-182 album is finished. He also stated that they have three songs complete and they still plan on releasing I-Empire, the feature film named after their second album."
