Atom left just after Love Part 2 was released, because of musical differences, i think! This was the statement he put out after it was announced. "It's been a great six years and I feel privileged to have worked with these musicians I call my friends. While I will miss them, it is an amicable split and I look forward to this next chapter in my life. I truly wish the guys much success in the future."
Atom wanted to be in a full time band, with Tom splitting his time in between AVA and Blink didn’t work for Atom, so Ilan had lunch with Tom one day, and that’s basically how he became their drummer, who is great but the way Atom played is what made AVA
That's funny because A LOT of big/small bands use playback on certain levels. Just because they use playback for certain tracks does not mean they can't do it for real.
As you can here in all of the songs, they're running backing tracks. This includes a lot of things, like the vocals you're referencing. The backing tracks in this performance is way to loud. The sound is also terrible. Matt's mic is also clearly not on. He is doing the lower octave.
Tom needs to be autotuned, not just because he can't sing, but it adds to the "spacey" atmosphere in the music. He obviously uses autotune in the studio, so why not live? It's not cheating, it's just part of their sound.
He voice sounds perfect in the studio so he is surely aware of these things. In live shows though, the quality of his voice does seem to take a big hit. But, this applies across the board with most singers and vocalists, in my opinion. I am a huge fan too and I love his work. He is a genius to me. His music has been a blessing in my life.
tom's voice changes from gig to gig, depending on how much hes been drinking, and what mood he is in. i saw them when they played in the UK and on that night he was simply god like, almost perfect all the way through
I know this comment was a long time ago but I think sometimes him getting sick can really affect, in a 2013 performance with blink at KROQ, he said he was sick the last two times he played so I think he was referring to this as one of them. You can kinda tell he's sick by his voice too
Broadcast mixes are usually total shit. When you get well mixed broadcast mix of a live act it is to be celebrated! This probably would be amazing if it was mixed well
I just got into AVA, I got there first record I don't think the beginning tune was on it but I've heard it before. What is that song at the first song they played here called.
I was there. I remember going specifically for them. I have been a big AvA fan since it’s beginning but god damn was this show just a fucking tragedy. I don’t care how big a fan you claim to be. Just take one listen to their “Adventure” performance and I bet you in clear conscience can’t say that it sounded remotely okay. If you can, then congratulations you sheeple. Continue being a blind “fan” while the rest of us demand better from a band that we know can do better.
The way he moves on stage and variates his voice was the most captivating thing to me when I saw him live.. I'm very lucky I got to see him live, he's like Michelangelo making masterful art every performance
Matt is playing bass David is playing guitar Tom is singing They want to be ready for their parts and it's much easier for the synth to be set up next to the drums so Ilan can play both no problem. I don't even know why you are asking such a stupid question because really it doesn't matter.
I actually do understand, and recently I've become a a pretty decent AVA fan. Understanding and appreciating how amazing one band is has nothing to do with preferring another band over it.
I agree with you, but even when Tom falls short I see the reality of it, he puts on a damn good show and is there to share what he loves no matter what.
Atom left. He joined Social Distortion for a bit and now plays with Danko Jones. I think Ilan was mentored by Barker. He's played with Lostprophets and Nine Inch Nails before. Really good drummer.
If you're a fan of AVA you should check out the band Like Tides. They have a live hd video of one of their shows with Asking Alexandria at woolys. The drummer proposes on stage in front of 1,000 screaming people after the second song.
CMIIW but i think it has became his trademark. i mean his voice. and honestly i feel comfort with his '2 different vocal styles in 2 different bands' :)
I agree I heard he was sick for this show so that explains some of it. I know Ilan has helped tom with his vocals too a little bit. Im just curious to see how tom would sing if he took professional vocal lesosns like some big artists do. I know he prolly doesnt think he needs it cuz he is Tom Delonge but if you listen to his other live work he does need some help with his vocal chords and hitting certain notes. Being more relaxed in the throat is key for smooth lyrics n he struggles with that.
Hey, As a Blink fan for 16 years now i can say that the worse tom sings the more i smile. And least nobody can ever say hes lip--syncing! It's part of what makes his live show interesting
I keep watching, hoping that they will improve! : ) Like I said, I love their albums, just not live. "Musical Genius" is a bit far fetched. Mozart was a musical genius... Tom is good at what he does, that's for sure! He knows pop/rock/melody, and can write one hell of a catchy tune. You could be right, there are a lot of bands out there, who also sound bad live. I would add that Blink sounds pretty good live, at least the times that I've seen them. : ) Cheers!
+Mitchul Tyler His delay effect is fucked in this show... any song where Dave uses it (Saturday Love, Everything's Magic) you can tell that it's set to have more space between each repeat than it should. His playing is in time, his effect is way the fuck off
@@daestiefvater9301 Dude but their songs are with a fixed time,,there is so many play backs of vocals and effects that it cant be left to the drummers giving a time signature,,they should be playing for sure with a metronome in a certain time,,that effect pedal should have been configured correctly and if not,,you still can try to play slower or faster to try to sinc the delay effect with the time signature of the whoile songs,,yes it would still be kind of off but you can try to make it much much better,,ofcourse kennedy dont know jack shit,,he got lucky to be friend with tom
Angels and Airwaves recorded live performances are nothing compared to the real thing. Anybody who says Tom Delonges voice is awful live needs to actually go and see them live properly rather than on a computer screen!
I think the vox amps sound better when you hear it in real life. For some reason in the majority of live recordings I've seen the vox amps sound really tiny, especially when you compare them to the mesa/boogies he used earlier in his career.

One of the better AVA performances on TH-cam. Love this band!
Tom really loves performing Everything's Magic, he always sounds good singing it and jumps around like a little kid :)
Wow Matt’s backing vocals in it hurts are great he does a great job supporting Tom there
at 6:07 u can see david broke a string then a bit after he has a different guitar. that was pretty smooth
i like their 2006-2008 performances better...but they are still the best band in the world (Blink is alright but ive fallen more on the AvA side)
If you think Tom sounds bad here, you havent seen any other performances of him. Hes actually very good here in my opinion.
Tom actually sounds alright here, for a change.
It's funny how Matt sounds exactly like Tom when singing "It Hurts"... #playback
ava and blink, dont do playback...
Topedro Fernandes
That's why you hear synths and don't see anybody playing them. Right.
But exist difences in sound to better
That's funny because A LOT of big/small bands use playback on certain levels. Just because they use playback for certain tracks does not mean they can't do it for real.
As you can here in all of the songs, they're running backing tracks. This includes a lot of things, like the vocals you're referencing. The backing tracks in this performance is way to loud. The sound is also terrible. Matt's mic is also clearly not on. He is doing the lower octave.
I love how his voice is now from being back in blink. Sounds amazing!
This is his way of singing live and i love it
Tom needs to be autotuned, not just because he can't sing, but it adds to the "spacey" atmosphere in the music. He obviously uses autotune in the studio, so why not live? It's not cheating, it's just part of their sound.
+Kristian Dobson but the issue is, autotune is an algorithm for relative pitch, so it would not work because tom is literally 1-2 semitones off pitch.
So true you gotta love the raw sound.But Sometimes I think it's the guy behind the mixing board.
I swear Tom never plays a guitar in anxiety but he is here hum that’s me gone bonkers for life
He voice sounds perfect in the studio so he is surely aware of these things. In live shows though, the quality of his voice does seem to take a big hit. But, this applies across the board with most singers and vocalists, in my opinion. I am a huge fan too and I love his work. He is a genius to me. His music has been a blessing in my life.

Ilans drum solo made my testies explode! And Tom sounds pretty Damned good if I do say so myself.
Was at this show - sounded way better live than what they recorded here. Everything is mixed/mic'd unevenly on here
Broadcast mixes are usually total shit. When you get well mixed broadcast mix of a live act it is to be celebrated!
This probably would be amazing if it was mixed well
Matt's vocals in the chorus were at the very top of his vocal range. Really tough to sing those notes strongly.
This was really good! Good job Tom.
I love this band...definitely digging the new drummer
【my memo】
1- Saturday Love 0:06 -
2- It Hurts 4:20
3- Surrender 8:35

5- Everything's Magic 18:26 -
6- Anxiety 22:15
7- The War 28:25
i love the guitar that david uses with the wheel on it
The reason tom sounds so good on the record is because he uses EXTREME compression, his compressor literally costs 2000!
Yes it’s my favourite song by angels&airwaves I love everything’s magic
I love the rotating stage that’s cool
Me too, i wasn't expecting much out of him at the time because i'd seen shows like this on TH-cam, but i was very impressed.
I just got into AVA, I got there first record I don't think the beginning tune was on it but I've heard it before. What is that song at the first song they played here called.

Wow this is a great drum solo from Ilan he’s a great drummer
i love the Matt'solo in The Adventure and when he sing "it hurts" ;)
he was also recovering from being very sick during this performance but other than that i agree with you
mudança radical nas letras dos aneis 182 o tempo passou tão depressa e eu fiquei stuck in the moment!!!!!!
thanks man !
That's true, I totally respect your point, and you're right. He sounds a LOT better now.
jeeze tom and ilan just locked in perfectly in saturday love.
Angels&airwaves are awesome
I love surrender it’s such an emotional song
The way he moves on stage and variates his voice was the most captivating thing to me when I saw him live.. I'm very lucky I got to see him live, he's like Michelangelo making masterful art every performance
Tom at 8.36 is awesome!!!
I love how they started with Saturday love a song from their love album not sure it’s from part 1 or 2 but I know it’s from one of those albums
It’s the first song from Love Part 2
@@jacksonroberts9276 thanks
uploaded on my birthday :)
Where can you buy a shirt that Tom is wearing?
i agree, ive seen blink and ava live both. even though ava was right after the break up they both were amazing and blink was 2012 in the summer!
Matt is playing bass
David is playing guitar
Tom is singing
They want to be ready for their parts
and it's much easier for the synth to be set up next to the drums so Ilan can play both no problem.
I don't even know why you are asking such a stupid question because really it doesn't matter.
I actually do understand, and recently I've become a a pretty decent AVA fan. Understanding and appreciating how amazing one band is has nothing to do with preferring another band over it.
This is bad ass go tom
the way he looks when he sings with out his guitar
I agree with you, but even when Tom falls short I see the reality of it, he puts on a damn good show and is there to share what he loves no matter what.
Angels&airwaves wouldn’t be who they are without performing the adventure really it’s their debut single
Atom left. He joined Social Distortion for a bit and now plays with Danko Jones.
I think Ilan was mentored by Barker. He's played with Lostprophets and Nine Inch Nails before. Really good drummer.
Didn't Ilan also do Paramore to and he can also play different instruments to not just the drums
If you're a fan of AVA you should check out the band Like Tides. They have a live hd video of one of their shows with Asking Alexandria at woolys. The drummer proposes on stage in front of 1,000 screaming people after the second song.
...or nah
Asking alexandria suckss anyways lol
CMIIW but i think it has became his trademark. i mean his voice. and honestly i feel comfort with his '2 different vocal styles in 2 different bands' :)
Toms blue guitar looks fricken sweet!!!!
WTF Tom stole my dance moves from my first school dance in the 7th grade! On an up note. The Drummer in this band is really fucking good!
Tom doesnt know what to do with his hands hahahha
hahaah tom's stage presence is hilarious on the songs where he doesn't play guitar! hah. classic.
Tom's voice is magic.
I MISS YOU DELONGE OLD :C
relic of the past....
I agree I heard he was sick for this show so that explains some of it. I know Ilan has helped tom with his vocals too a little bit. Im just curious to see how tom would sing if he took professional vocal lesosns like some big artists do.

Tom's busting out dance moves xD
Bravo Tom`ek - w końcu jesteś sobą na scenie.
ya they are touring in Australia right now
his voice is improving :3
for me tom it sounds good here
It's sad to see how his voice has ended.
Does anyone know why Atom left?
I was pissed, but then not so much bc he got replaced with someone better, but still. ...
+Chance Foy Where did u read to back this up?
+Chance Foy Okay cause I wanna find it. anyth specific I have to type to look it up?
+Chance Foy Well I'd hope something specific such as article, etc, but thanks
@brenda www.punknews.org/article/54798/interviews-atom-willard-against-me this is the interview he is speaking of
Hey, As a Blink fan for 16 years now i can say that the worse tom sings the more i smile. And least nobody can ever say hes lip--syncing! It's part of what makes his live show interesting
yeah I know, they probably came back later to see who they want to see but like you said, some people don't realize good music when they hear it, ha.
where Tom falls short on live singing, he makes up with superior song writing.
belieeeve i wanteeeeeee
Angels and Airwaves = not a band but a SUPERGROUP...
What does tom say last chorus of it hurts your best friend she's such a fucking .....???
when was that
Actually he is. It's the same guitar with just different picture on the top. One pickup, one volume.
I keep watching, hoping that they will improve! : ) Like I said, I love their albums, just not live. "Musical Genius" is a bit far fetched. Mozart was a musical genius... Tom is good at what he does, that's for sure! He knows pop/rock/melody, and can write one hell of a catchy tune. You could be right, there are a lot of bands out there, who also sound bad live.

Sometimes I wonder what Angels and Airwaves would be like with a fantastic singer that could hit and hold the notes... and was female.
anyone know why matt and david left?
what is Kennedy doing in Saturday Love? so bad in the chorus'

i dont care of his voice in live, all i know is, he is so cool performer, and song writer !!! :-)
thats awesome :) it was the dublin o2 on june 12th :) got front row, changed the way i see blink forever :) how about you ???
This is crap? Well, it's alot better than I've heard out of most studio musicians now a days. This live is better than Dicki Minaj, or Justin Beaver.
Thats kind great but god I miss Atom
he actually became sober now and got off of his drug addiction, and he sounds just like he did 10 years ago!
well...technically if its the afternoon, its nighttime
love them!!
Saturday Love
He has the Tom 1999 hair cut here haha
If the volumes were better set we wouldn't be arguing 'bout his singing.. I mean WTF, his voice volume is WAY pumped up!
Professionally trained singer here.
Backfire, bro. Backfire.
I think the vox amps sound better when you hear it in real life. For some reason in the majority of live recordings I've seen the vox amps sound really tiny, especially when you compare them to the mesa/boogies he used earlier in his career.
Ill admit, not one of Tom's best singing performances, but still the music and the lyrics inspire people to do great things. L)VE AVA
lol 5:57 David breaks a string and in the following seconds he goes off and changes guitars and you can see the broken string
WTF is everyone talking about, his voice is really great here compared to other performances.
THEY WERE AMAZING AT READING :)
is tom into the mason stuff (the sticker on his guitar)?
Is one of the logos of AvA, dont know why xD Tom likes that type of shit
Tom is a mason.
