Greatest bands of all time. Well for some us. I grew up with blink….but AVA just means….more. The war imaginary. I’ve listened to this song while walking Normandy beach. It’s just so anthemic in a way many don’t understand.
Angels and Airwaves could definitely fill arenas and stadiums with songs like this!

That's right man. I cannot imagine what an experience would be to listen to these songs with a crowd of ~30k people around you, all singing along the vocal less choruses... MAGIC.
Late comer. Never really listened to Angels & Airwaves. Heard a song here and there but never caught on. Was a big Blink fan back in the day, so I don't know why I never listened. Until I went to a recent AVA concert. HOLY CRAP. A religious experience. Can't get enough of them. Thanks for this video!
Such an underrated band. Love this song. Really glad this has less than 10 dislikes in 7 years. Nice to see people appreciate this one live. Fantastic performance!
the end jam from 7:12 on is so fucking awesome. Tom improvises so good as he always has and that pickslide too. so cool. he's by no means a flashy and intricate guitar player but he knows how to improvise and write catchy rocking riffs
@@gordman6432 he sounds awesome here because he has a pitch correction mic being filmed with high quality equipment in a small area.. Would love if he continued to have this setup for future shows that we could have watched
carlippo182 Jokes on you my man. Those guitars you're hearing on the chorus and big parts are the guitar tracks from the album. I agree though his actual guitar sound here is better than his vox tone. Also all of those Mesa cabinets on stage are for show. Tom and David's tone for this is coming from four main pieces of gear. A Marshall JMP-1 preamp, a Mesa boogie triaxis preamp, a Marshall power amp, and palmer speaker simulators. No cabs on stage are pushing air or miked up.
i luv the ending. thats whats music's about, never wanting to stop, sticking with your crowd and seeing those damn flashing lights. i would give everything up just to be able to see those flashing lights and the crowd with their arms in the air singing back. i only wish i could make such majestic music like angels and airwaves
i've seen him live, actually with blink, and he sounded really good. i think he definitely has off nights, especially with blink he just doesn't care that much. but when he actually does try, he sounds really good. there are other videos of tom where he sounds immaculate, just like this one. you just gotta look. also this was a competition so he was probably trying the best he possibly could because he wanted to win
what a performance!. wished I was there for this one! tom is giving his heart out here. and im sure it sounded 100x more amazing if you were actually there.
listen to Against Me! or Laura's solo thing called Laura Grace and the Devouring Mothers. he shreds the skins in both. there's also the old Rocket From The Crypt tapes. he's not gone.....just doin something different. def worth your time.
People change, get used to it, he's having a great time, we love his music, who cares... It's not about being the best, it's about doing what you love and making good music.
This is such a fantastic performance :) I can’t imagine being there - for those who where, don’t even know how lucky they where ! Tom was pure magic ! (I Love him : sorry to be so obvious 🤣)
Atom is the greatest drummer to watch and listen to. EVER. Always on beat, always the beat, precise & clean. Good performance otherwise. I never expect great vocals, because I don't give a shit, they're all outstanding musicians regardless.
EighthDayBroken well, this was still early on in AvA..he was probably drunk or even if he wasn't..people sing differently to make the performance different because they're on tour. I'd do the same thing because singing the same song the same way over and over the same way would get boring haha plus he kills the "oooooo" parts, he's actually in tune a lot and proves himself
"I don't wanna go home! All of us are gonna go home and watch fucking David Letterman or something. It's gonna be quiet, it's gonna be weird. Or we could stay here all night and live, right?" -Tom Delonge
This is the best version of the song in my opinion.
Ten years later I wanted to say yes ❤ but the other big version from 2006 is so dope too
I think I stand for all of us when I say this is one of the greatest songs of all time.
Sit back down then.
Yup
I strongly agree
His out of time vocals ruin it but it’s still a great song

Still watching/listening in 2020
Right there with you!
2024?
2024
If the world listened to AvA, just everyone for 3 minutes, there WOULD be world peace. This shit is holy.
IF anyone would take aderol...everyone would have connections to the Alien-High-Society!
3 minutes of world peace.
Lmao n1mand I hear that
If everyone takes DMT there will be world peace
when they were making we dont need to whisper tom said that god came down from heaven to write the songs
Congrats on your #1 Rock album, "The Dream Walker," Angels & Airwaves! Remember this gem you played for us at #DrumOff? #fbf bit.ly/1E4rD0Q
I owe this audio engineer a high five. Wow this sounds incredible.
Atom is a fantastic drummer.
i think he was the drummer for the offspring for a while
He’s one of my favorites
Definitely better imo IIan Rubin. Yes i understand he played for Nine Inch Nails but you can’t beat Atoms play style.
Angels and Airwaves could definitely fill arenas and stadiums with songs like this!

I know U2 can
they would honestly be a great stadium band
I'm just here because I'm about to see Angels and Airwaves live again in October 2019!!!! :)
Sept 2019 here!
JohnDrives same here! In Anaheim! I’m super excited
September 2019 for me! Can't get here soon enough!

God i absolutely love the silent choruses during these live versions!! it makes it seem so powerful!!
This is the best. I still watching in 2019 :')
2021:D
Still watching it in 2024
2024 still 🔥🔥
Still watching in 2025
Oh my..This man knows what he does..Tom,thanks for everything,bro.Inspiration as a musician and more important,as a person.
Fuck yeah,he rocks..
His imperfect tone of voice is a plus
Not really lol
pretty garbage if you ask me hahaha even Tom seemed pretty disappointed in this one.
Listening to Angels And Airwaves just makes everything seem more beautiful.
their best performance
His Drum-Off performances were the best
I miss Atom

Tom is and always will be life 😍
i watch this almost everyday and i it never gets old!
After I clean up the mess in my pants I'm gonna watch this again
LMFAO!!!!
Isaac Cooke lol
@@HermittheLog no life
Isaac Cooke who pooped in your pants?
the end jam from 7:12 on is so fucking awesome. Tom improvises so good as he always has and that pickslide too. so cool. he's by no means a flashy and intricate guitar player but he knows how to improvise and write catchy rocking riffs
The best edition of The War ever.
best speech ever. "Why are you so quiet? Push your arms in the air!"
drklenk this performance was awesome but the crowd was so weak.
they don't english
I could seriously watch this 1000 times
I'll always keep on saying that Angels & Airwaves was the best thing that could've ever happened to Tom.
at 4:05 you can somewhat hear the Tom we all know peaking through...he sounded good there
he sounds good the entire song
Most of his singing sounds like he doesn’t even try anymore.
@@gordman6432 he sounds awesome here because he has a pitch correction mic being filmed with high quality equipment in a small area.. Would love if he continued to have this setup for future shows that we could have watched
10 years ago, Jeez. Unbelievable live performance.
i love it when he said good night at the end part. awesome!!!
His Mesa amps sounds so powerful. Wish he'd still use them.
+carlippo182 Was just thinking the same thing, Mesa's really made his sound better. His Vox sound sucks.
+TheLast1100 Tom's decisions get worse with age
somehow his more recent solo sound ("new world" for example) is way better...

@@cradddockdude1998 Doesn't matter. The preamps still makes the tone.
Best performance !
YES
Bring me back in this era 😩😩
I'm pretty sure my favorite part of this song live is just listening to the vocalless chorus'.
i luv the ending. thats whats music's about, never wanting to stop, sticking with your crowd and seeing those damn flashing lights. i would give everything up just to be able to see those flashing lights and the crowd with their arms in the air singing back. i only wish i could make such majestic music like angels and airwaves
That speech at the end!! Love it.
Tom Delonge is my favorite musician on the planet hands down.
the vocal bridge is the most amazing thing i have ever heard
this performance made me fall in love with this band!! so deep and powerful...
Raw and real. Tom is the only one able to put his real voice on stage. No filters unless the song calls for it
Lol true but it’s so god awful. So much whining but that’s Tom
@@_Tommmmmm_nope
It's 2022 - and I'm seeing them in Berlin in March
4:15 Tom goes metal.
I hope an AVA album in aerian metal
they have such a HUGE sound live, for their style of music thats crazy!
When i saw them live, and they play this song, i can't stop singin and crying at the same time, idk why, but i'm feel alive
i've seen him live, actually with blink, and he sounded really good. i think he definitely has off nights, especially with blink he just doesn't care that much. but when he actually does try, he sounds really good. there are other videos of tom where he sounds immaculate, just like this one. you just gotta look. also this was a competition so he was probably trying the best he possibly could because he wanted to win
I don't think its about trying. It's about some nights your voice is on, and some nights your voice is off. He might benefit from some voice training.
tom love his pickslides
This amazing voice !
The best live performance
I'm so depressed .. but this.. this helps.
10 years ago... time is flying
playing in the dark..these are some bad dudes!!👍👍👍
The best formation
They have the sound and presence of a stadium sized rock band. They are awesome
One of the finest bands in the world EVER!!!
2023 and still loving AVA. Who else still listening to this shit ?
what a performance!. wished I was there for this one! tom is giving his heart out here. and im sure it sounded 100x more amazing if you were actually there.
Poet Anderson hells yes

Just leaving a comment here, so in 20 years i'll know that i listened to epic music

listen to Against Me! or Laura's solo thing called Laura Grace and the Devouring Mothers.
he shreds the skins in both.
there's also the old Rocket From The Crypt tapes. he's not gone.....just doin something different. def worth your time.
He is an absolute beast! He fit in perfectly with AVA
I love him so much oh my god

One of my favourite AVA songs ever :)
This is such a great performance. Love it love it love it. AVA is the best
i could watch this video all day.
I love lights in the show so dark and flashing
God, is this brilliant!
Love it when the camera vibrates to the kick drum
Such a fun song to play
7:21 love that pick slide
ATOOOOOOOOOOMMMM. pleas comeback :D
Atom's drumming is freaking amazing, how poweful!!!!
People change, get used to it, he's having a great time, we love his music, who cares... It's not about being the best, it's about doing what you love and making good music.
-Tom: I DONT WANNA GO HOME !! ;)
I love this performance of the war
Why must this tear my head inside out?
Props to the the audio mix master
This is such a fantastic performance :) I can’t imagine being there - for those who where, don’t even know how lucky they where ! Tom was pure magic ! (I Love him : sorry to be so obvious 🤣)
I really enjoy watching ATOM skills playing the drum set
AVA for life
2020 still watching!
i love that the camera is vibrating, i wish i was there
Never get bored!!!
👌👌👌
Wise words!
it's impossible to have more class than Tom Delonge when he says "goodnight" !
this ava line up best of all time
Atom is the greatest drummer to watch and listen to. EVER. Always on beat, always the beat, precise & clean.
Good performance otherwise. I never expect great vocals, because I don't give a shit, they're all outstanding musicians regardless.
this....is....EPIC
best AVA performance ive ever seen. Toms voice is on point.
I miss this formation
AWESOME
Hey yeah thanks a bunch!! Helps a lot!!
going to see them Sep 20, and watching this just gets me excessively fucking pumped
I Empire 10th anniversary Tour! make it happen 😀🙏🤘
Great video and song :)
That outro... Incredible
If Tom stayed in tune like he did at 4:04 I would listen to AVA a lot more
EighthDayBroken well, this was still early on in AvA..he was probably drunk or even if he wasn't..people sing differently to make the performance different because they're on tour. I'd do the same thing because singing the same song the same way over and over the same way would get boring haha plus he kills the "oooooo" parts, he's actually in tune a lot and proves himself
That’s what makes Tom who he is. This has been my favorite band for over 13 years and I’ve never had a problem with it. I love it
