No offense but I wish Angels & Airwaves really took off and nobody cared about shitty old Blink-182 ever again.
>>130699769tom was really up his ass during the AvA era. some good songs, yeah. but his nu-emo voice he adopted after TOYPAJ really annoys the fuck out of you after about 3 songs. We get it, Tom. You're trying to be emotional and serious. Stop doing the "YEAAAUUUU" shit.
>>130699769Lmao I was just talking about this with somebody, the approach was cool and they had a few good tunes. It was almost post-rockSECRET CROWDS RISD UP ONNNND GAHHHHTHURRRRR
Their first album was ok but not great and people moved on. They got great on their 2nd but they lost the momentum at that point and didn't catch on.
>>130699885also, it was pretty much entirely blink fans giving them a fair shot. People who didn't like Blink didn't give a shit so it was unlikely they'd ever take off in a big way outside of that circle anyway
>>130699769was a big blink fan back then but this shit was gay
>>130699939well they got some radio play with their debut single adventure but it sounded too different for blink fans and was just an ok song at best for other music fans. They had other great songs on other albums that may have got them better attention but people had already moved on.
didn't the AvA drummer end up going to Alkaline Trio? kind of a funny bit of full-circle irony. I still prefer Derek Grant in Alk3. He is one of the best punk rock drummers ever imo.
>>130699769>Angels & AirwavesI like how this guy is a UFO skitzo but this music is fucking gay
what about +44?
>>130700582Tom was the better songwriter of the band so +44 was never really going to be great.
>>130700598i still think weatherman is a good song
>>130700598+44 were great IMO
>>130699769>shitty old BlinkShut the fuck up, faggot. AVA had some okay songs but nothing comes close to Blink or Box Car Racer.
>>130702648They were great and infinitely better than Angels and Airwaves
I saw AvA at Warped Tour and I stopped to take it in for a bit; it was like middle of the set when I walked by. I was like "oh, this must be what my friend likes about them." Then before playing the next song, Tom started ranting about piss, shit, and farts, so I just walked away.
>>130699769Dude it's Blink 182 all the way down - Box Car Racer, +44, AvA. It's all Blink 182
>>130699769>Listens to U2 once
