ava has changed the way I look at the world and the whole galaxy and space. He made me be kinder and not selfish toward others and to be myself. I know I'm 26 but Ive dealt with alot of self hate, 5 year heroin addiction and alot of other psychological issues hidden within myself my whole life. Tom and AVA has helped me tremendously. I literally couldn't of made it through cold turkey two separate times if it wasn't for the adventure keeping my head up.
Max Kull-Sandin then you're dumb. i bet more people will watch them play AOL then some other shit. AOL will be seen in MILLIONS of homes throughout the years.
Tom isn't 20 anymore. lol his voice matured, just as he did. And the songs he sings now, and the voice he sings them in, it's all just perfect. If he sang these lyrics with his old Blink voice, it just wouldn't be as beautiful.
So proud of him and all his accomplishments he is better than ever and I love this set jus amazing how well its pieced together and Tom has grown into a star best wishes to you and your family Tom..
They should just do it like they did here, lower the key of the songs so he can manage to sing them. Anomaly from Dreamwalker is a great example of that aswell, he sings really well on that tune without any special effects ;)
Angels and Airwaves are so inspiring, no matter if their songs have lyrics or if it's just an instrumental peace. You can feel the emotion. This acoustic version was beautiful
They dropped it a key or two down, so he doesn't have to force his voice up higher where it doesn't fit anymore. Don't know why they don't do that all of the time, given how good he sounds here
Listening to this after the new acoustic version that was just released & honestly I like them both. This one is more raw but the new one is in a studio so both of them make their own distinct mark.
AMEN!!! I love the maturity in his voice... there's more passion... I feel like I'm listening to a man :) not to mention he looks hella handsome in his older years!
Seriously, Tom is such a great singer/songwriter/guitar player. He inspires me everyday. He's one of the people (besides Ray Toro) that got me interested in guitar. I started out playing blink songs, and now I'm mastering them! I can finally play guitar well enough to do it in front of people. I feel amazing when I play guitar, and I think Tom helped me pick my career...
Nope, from 1997 when I first started listening to blink to 2006 when I first heard ava, I haven't ever got tired of either. Now if you listen to them every single day, yeah sure it'll get old as anything else would. Still looking forward to the new albums from both bands.
Will G AOL pitch corrects his voice a little, but who cares, everyone does. That doesn't mean he can't sing. Those small corrections just makes the performance seem completely perfect. He still sings very good here, if he didn't you would hear a LOT more corrections ;)
+Will G to use pitch correct you have to project your voice very very well. Auto tune wont make you perfect singer. It will just make you to sing in key but not to sound good.
To the people who are hating, Tom was in his early 20's when you all first heard him sing, now you're looking at a man in his mid 30's so you can only expect a difference in voice and performance. 16 years can change and should change allot. The "old Tom" is the same Tom just grown up, so try and enjoy it for what it is. :)
His voice is directed to a PA system to a 24-track recorder. If it's auto-tuned, Tom will put some reverberation to it as to what he did starting from Enema of the State.
"The Adventure" I wanna have the same last dream again, The one where I wake up and I'm alive. Just as the four walls close me within, My eyes are opened up with pure sunlight.

My grand father died 1-31-2022, this song helped me heal. 3-6-2022 my fiance I have a 3 year old son with left me claiming false DV claims that we’re proven false but I’m going through custody. Point being this song has been helping me heal for 9 straight weeks, this version is the best. Thsnk you tom & A&A
I wish they sang the part that builds. "I can not live, I can't breathe, Unless you do this with me" He is literally perfection and an idol of mine, I hope I get to meet him one day.
***** I agree. I saw him at Leeds fest 2014, and he... sucked. I hate to admit it but he was. Either way Mark and Travis were great (as usual) and I enjoyed the fuck out of it.
Babbiz29 No your dumb its not filtered he just actually a good singer. This sort of singing is easy on his vocals so he doesnt have to yell which he cant do.
i love him live, he was great 9th of april, i am so glad i saw this band....feel sorry for him getting so nervous i hate those feelings it ruins my performance even just infront of 1 person =/
Love it! February 7th 2024 still love these 2 bands, AVA & Blink 182
Who else gets goosebumps whenever a AvA song comes on and just turns it up and starts to dream of a perfect world.
Me haha. This is my new feel good music
all the time!
ava has changed the way I look at the world and the whole galaxy and space. He made me be kinder and not selfish toward others and to be myself. I know I'm 26 but Ive dealt with alot of self hate, 5 year heroin addiction and alot of other psychological issues hidden within myself my whole life. Tom and AVA has helped me tremendously. I literally couldn't of made it through cold turkey two separate times if it wasn't for the adventure keeping my head up.
a year late but, me 😂
Same feeling... everytime.
Love these smaller gigs when Tom's all sober and really sings as good as we all know he can!
smaller gigs? AOL is a HUGE deal. its not small
It's a smaller acoustic set mate, it's not like playing Knebworth...
Max Kull-Sandin yeah but AOL is a HUGE deal. its more pressure to play this then Knebworth
AOL might be a big deal but I seriously doubt that lol.
Max Kull-Sandin then you're dumb. i bet more people will watch them play AOL then some other shit. AOL will be seen in MILLIONS of homes throughout the years.
i think toms gotten to that point where his voice and singing style fits angels and airwaves better than blink 182. much more softer and flowing
He still writes mostly in C#. He just changed his approach a little
Actually, he plays around A Major, that's quite easy for anyone
Definitely some tone correction here but still sounds solid.
we'll i guess this is growing up
This is pitch corrected to hell though lol
0:55-1:05 was golden. Tom's voice has always been one of my favorites.
Tom isn't 20 anymore. lol his voice matured, just as he did. And the songs he sings now, and the voice he sings them in, it's all just perfect. If he sang these lyrics with his old Blink voice, it just wouldn't be as beautiful.
So proud of him and all his accomplishments he is better than ever and I love this set jus amazing how well its pieced together and Tom has grown into a star best wishes to you and your family Tom..
I keep listening to these tracks non -stop. This is just pure gold.
pure as gold...
I wish tom sang like this live....
+MASTER 345 PRO i wish tom could sing ... still love em... but still... i wish he could sing
Well he's doing it, here. Always should do concerts like this it's amazing.
They should just do it like they did here, lower the key of the songs so he can manage to sing them. Anomaly from Dreamwalker is a great example of that aswell, he sings really well on that tune without any special effects ;)
When you see them live, he sounds fine! I saw them in 2012 and he sounded good!
Because he always gets drunk.
Guys, its not autotune. He is sober but he is just normally an amazing singer
😂😂😂😂😂 no he isn't 😂 I'm a tom fan boy, he's awful that's what makes him great.
im a guitar player but i love the sound that the acoustic bass gives to the song.
Tom is an under appreciated musical god
This is simply beautiful. The acoustic is so amazing, it makes the song feel so much more real. Simply blown away...
Angels and Airwaves are so inspiring, no matter if their songs have lyrics or if it's just an instrumental peace. You can feel the emotion. This acoustic version was beautiful
Bet this guys got some great memories!
Why is his voice so good in this? There's hints of old Tom mixed with his new voice and it sounds so amazing when he's trying for once.
They dropped it a key or two down, so he doesn't have to force his voice up higher where it doesn't fit anymore. Don't know why they don't do that all of the time, given how good he sounds here
He is also autotuned
David Barrer Not
pitch corrected probably
I love the lyrics in this song.
Listening to this after the new acoustic version that was just released & honestly I like them both. This one is more raw but the new one is in a studio so both of them make their own distinct mark.
AMEN!!! I love the maturity in his voice... there's more passion... I feel like I'm listening to a man :) not to mention he looks hella handsome in his older years!
Still listening in 2022. This is pure gold
2023
Toms voice is so GD Pure in these AOL Sessions. Hitting every note perfectly!👌🤘👊 Awesome live performance.
This is amazing Tom’s voice is amazing he sounds fantastic acoustic the whole of AVA do
THIS BAND. i love Tom more than anything...they're so perfect.
I needed this song today. Still hits me hard almost 20 years. I feel I will be fine ❤️
I love this acoustic performance of The Adventure
Seriously, Tom is such a great singer/songwriter/guitar player. He inspires me everyday. He's one of the people (besides Ray Toro) that got me interested in guitar. I started out playing blink songs, and now I'm mastering them! I can finally play guitar well enough to do it in front of people. I feel amazing when I play guitar, and I think Tom helped me pick my career...
This song is just perfect regardless of whatever form it takes.
You see how good his voice actually is when he does acoustic songs. Tom is god.
i think this vocalist should make a band, with bassist and drummer of +44
I think the drummer of Box Car Racer would fit better
Lol
That would be like if the drummer of Nirvana made a a band and became the lead singer.
And then they should name the band like Blink - 182
.,.
Tom's voice sounds amazing in these acoustic videos!
"AOL, here i am."
this is from someone elses comment i just thought it was to funny not to do myself 🤣
Angels And Airwaves sound simply amazing acoustic.
this song has been around for years but it still makes me feel good everytime i hear it!
Nope, from 1997 when I first started listening to blink to 2006 when I first heard ava, I haven't ever got tired of either. Now if you listen to them every single day, yeah sure it'll get old as anything else would. Still looking forward to the new albums from both bands.
this song is just too good
Truely one of the best songs ive heard
This band mean the world to me.
You are not the only one! This AOL are just awesome! Every single song in these sessions are better than the original in my opinion.
Around the 2:31 mark, you can hear the faint autotune in Tom's voice. It sucks, because I really want to believe that he can sing this well
Will G AOL pitch corrects his voice a little, but who cares, everyone does. That doesn't mean he can't sing. Those small corrections just makes the performance seem completely perfect. He still sings very good here, if he didn't you would hear a LOT more corrections ;)
+Will G to use pitch correct you have to project your voice very very well. Auto tune wont make you perfect singer. It will just make you to sing in key but not to sound good.
for a second, I thought you meant "look, at around 2:31, Mark, you can hear the faint autotune...this well" lmao
this is so... magical
This is so fabulous. Oh my goodness. I can't control my feels. :'D
To the people who are hating, Tom was in his early 20's when you all first heard him sing, now you're looking at a man in his mid 30's so you can only expect a difference in voice and performance. 16 years can change and should change allot. The "old Tom" is the same Tom just grown up, so try and enjoy it for what it is. :)
The songs of AVA have so much more purpose when they do it acoustic
The best rock,punk,metal bands/artists can play their songs in acoustic.
These lyrics are Divine, and very deep.
Tom's voice is amazing :')
Can't wait to see these tomorrow night! xD
i love his voice
His voice is directed to a PA system to a 24-track recorder. If it's auto-tuned, Tom will put some reverberation to it as to what he did starting from Enema of the State.
what a lad, such a lad inspiration. proper lad.
wow just wow how amazing !!!
"The Adventure"
I wanna have the same last dream again,
The one where I wake up and I'm alive.
Just as the four walls close me within,
My eyes are opened up with pure sunlight.
I'm the first to know,
My dearest friends,
Even if your hope has burned with time,
Anything that's dead shall be re-grown,
And your vicious pain, your warning sign,
You will be fine.
Hello, here I am,
And here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Any type of love - it will be shown,
Like every single tree reach for the sky.
If you're gonna fall,
I'll let you know,
That I will pick you up
Like you for I,
I felt this thing,
I can't replace.
Where everyone was working for this goal.
Where all the children left without a trace,
Only to come back, as pure as gold,
To recite this all.
Hello, here I am,
And here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Tonight,
Hello, here I am,
And here we go, life's waiting to begin.
Tonight,
Hello, here I am,
And here we go, life's waiting to begin.
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
I cannot live, I can't breathe
Unless you do this with me
Hello, here I am (do this with me),
And here we go, life's waiting to begin (do this with me).
Hello, here I am (do this with me).
And here we go, life's waiting to begin,
Life's waiting to begin.
To all the haters, how about his voice here? Sounds great!!!!!!!!!!!! Tom is unique, stop criticizing something special!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ich finde seine Stimme sehr schön tolles Event
Beautiful
I want to have the same last dream again
The one where I wake up and I'm alive
Just as the four walls closed me within
My eyes are opened up with pure sunlight
I'm the first to know, my dearest friends
Even if your hope has burned with time
Anything that's dead shall be regrown
And your vicious pain, your warning sign
You will be fine
Hey yo, here I am, and here we go, life's waiting to begin
Any type of love it will be shown
Like every single tree reach for the sky
If you're gonna fall, ill let you know
That I will pick you up like you for I
I felt this thing I can't replace
That everyone was working for this goal
Where all the children left without a trace
Only to come back as pure as gold
To recite this song
Hey yo, here I am, and here we go, life's waiting to begin
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
I cannot live I can't breathe unless you do this with me
Hey yo, here I am, and here we go, life's waiting to begin
Hey yo, here I am, and here we go, life's waiting to begin
Life's waiting to begin
My ears just reached heaven.

This is just so damn beautiful how can someone hate this???
Still on fire on this day🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
My grand father died 1-31-2022, this song helped me heal. 3-6-2022 my fiance I have a 3 year old son with left me claiming false DV claims that we’re proven false but I’m going through custody. Point being this song has been helping me heal for 9 straight weeks, this version is the best. Thsnk you tom & A&A
Tom's voice is perfect in this
I love this song! 🥰
Ay oohhh....
and he's still a legend
Love this performance, mainly because you can understand the lyrics :P
I wish they sang the part that builds.
"I can not live, I can't breathe, Unless you do this with me"
He is literally perfection and an idol of mine, I hope I get to meet him one day.
I couldn't agree more!!!
And tonight AOL here I am.
lol
めっちゃいい！！
LOVE this version
Shakers on feet is the sexiest thing of all time
.
Holy shit, I didn't know Tom could sing so on key. :o
Love you Tom :D
This is so beautyfull
Sounds great!
amazing brotherrrrrrrr
tom stared into my eyes for like 5 seconds two nights ago.. made me smile so much and then he laughed :'D
@jordangaiger that's his voice cracking bro. it happens with emotion, when he wants or to sound cool, and happens alot with accustic renditions
you gotta admit. u hear first date, down, obvious and you wish toms voice still sounded like that
***** I agree. I saw him at Leeds fest 2014, and he... sucked. I hate to admit it but he was. Either way Mark and Travis were great (as usual) and I enjoyed the fuck out of it.
Wayne Kirby did*
Fucking yes.
I saw them last month
Tom was amazing..
I really think its amazing. He's done Blink-182, Box Car Racer, and Angels and Airwaves... I like all of them.
It's such a shame this video only has 308,000 views! AvA is so incredibly amazing.
thanks :)
Everything about Tom in this video is perfect.
1:53
This bridge really shines in acoustic
Top class!
Tom's voice O.o
Filtered in studio...
Babbiz29 I don't think this one is filtered mate
Max Kull-Sandin It sounds too perfect man, sure It is
Babbiz29 No your dumb its not filtered he just actually a good singer. This sort of singing is easy on his vocals so he doesnt have to yell which he cant do.
Michael Coleman Nope dude you'RE dumb! You can't even notice a real voice from a filtered one, as you can hear the pitch has been edited
He matured so well!
Love this song :)
i love him live, he was great 9th of april, i am so glad i saw this band....feel sorry for him getting so nervous i hate those feelings it ruins my performance even just infront of 1 person =/
good voice and good song :)
Me encanta The Adventure :)
If only they played this on fm radio
My Favorite Song, Very Emotional,
Tom should do i thing were he goes on tour with AVA,Blink and Box car racer all in one show that would be awesome!
Still awesome 👏🏻
I love it
For people wondering why he can actually sing in here is simply because he's not drunk during this show.
mhm
0:36 - You will be fine.
I got everything here.
Atom is such a legend nd Tom can sing Good
4 people failed when they tried to put the I LIKE button. the best accoustic performance of AVA
