Tom: Modcam Updates

Edit: Video/still removed by request due to Modlife copyright violation.
AVA movie pushed back. May be release with the new CD. Next AVA record may sound like new Blink cd. Blink not doing much touring. But he did say they will be touring in a big event this summer. which could be warped tour, but no further info was given. Blink modlife a real possibility. Tom also said that both Mark and Travis like the idea about it. He also said that since he and the rest of everyone on AVA modlife are tied together, he might make the blink modlife free for ppl who suscribe to AVA. AVA might not be touring, not in studio this year because Tom is in the studio with Blink. Blink is NOT temporary. They will be releasing their album this year, as well as touring. Blink and AVA modlifes might be 2 for the price of 1. Tom ALMOST played part of a blink demo, but he decided not to because he knew that it would be bootleged all over and that he should talk to Mark and Travis about it first. David, Matt, and Atom are apparently working on their own project down in the studio that tom said he will tell us later about.
Thanks to our forum member famous_burro and himynameisbrett for the updates.

Next AVA record may sound like new blink. ?????
February 15th, 2009 at 10:16 pm
thats great to hear that now everyone can let out the final sigh of relief. if people had their doubts they shouldn’t anymore. blink is NOT temporary BLINK-182 IS BACK. they were my first concert ever in 2001 and i am so stoked to be hearing all the great news!
February 15th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
he said it may sound like new blink, but then he said he is going to try and push to the limit for ava since blink is back to sound like blink
February 15th, 2009 at 10:34 pm
good to know blink isn’t temporary. I can’t not wait for the new album and to see them live! thanks for the update
February 15th, 2009 at 10:58 pm
i think blink could work out really well. tom could still go off after they tour and do ava while mark produces and travis does all his stuff then go back into the studio awhen they are ready
February 15th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
thank god that blink isn’t temporary =)
..but didn’t mark say that he didn’t like modlife?
(not complaining though, just a thought)
those lightsabres or however you spell it was the shit man, awesome.
tom is funny again!
February 15th, 2009 at 11:02 pm
This is completely awesome. Blink is back for good.
But still, those demos from a while back totally sounded like AVA, but they are blink. It’s gonna be weird. But I’m excited!
February 15th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
y the fuck would tom make a ava album that sounds like blink? he should just go blink full time its not like anyone likes ava more than blink anyway.
February 15th, 2009 at 11:07 pm
but fuckit i shouldent complain the blink reunion is the best thing that has happened for a wile
February 15th, 2009 at 11:10 pm
I’m kind of confused… “AVA might not be touring, not in studio this year because Tom is in the studio with Blink.”
I thought AVA was currently recording…? They are finished or they have not even started and won’t be starting this year?
February 15th, 2009 at 11:15 pm
Im thinking that the reason that his new ava stuff might sound like blink . . . . MAY have sumthing to do with Tom reverting back, some-what to ‘old tom’ that we know and love
Mike
February 15th, 2009 at 11:17 pm
So they’re not going to tour much, but they’re going to do an album and a tour? We’ll be seeing the AvA movie with the new record… yet we’re not going to see a new AvA record this year. It’s starting to sound like Tom is completely full of horse shit on this movie thing and he’s doing everything he can to delay it until we forget. First it shoulda been out a year ago, then six months ago, then it was almost finished, then it was delayed, then it was finished now it’s delayed again… it’s starting to sound like Duke Nukem Forever.
February 15th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
haha, yeah it’s the Duke Nukem Forever of documentaries.
February 15th, 2009 at 11:41 pm
to Orion: about the movie, thats SO true haha
but the touring thing I think makes sense. By saying that they won’t be doing much touring, probably means like once a year or something instead of being on the road for like 3 years at a time.
I think that works out great, cause they cans till work on other musical projects/recordings for blink and other bands while they don’t tour.
AND because its not temporary, we can expect them to continue to perform
This is awesome, and completely understandable news. The members had moved on, but found each other again, but were still stuck with new bands, projects, etc..
I could see AVA dissolving within the next few years, but you never know…
February 15th, 2009 at 11:53 pm
is there any old blink demos because i never heard anything after self titled besides a 30 second clip i think. and if there is can anyone send them to my email jacobmanslam@yahoo.com
February 15th, 2009 at 11:56 pm
Awesome news, hearing from Tom that Blink isn’t just a temporary thing is great to hear and I think that he’s really stoked about this as everybody else
Then I’m glad that he didn’t say that new Blink is going to sound like AvA … it was the other way around. Everybody in AvA are all old punkrockers asweel so that ain’t to hard to believe is it?
February 16th, 2009 at 12:08 am
shit that is some good news, i am very excited. how nuts would that be if blink was back on warped? i think i just came
February 16th, 2009 at 1:25 am
Ok some of those points were confusing e.g blink not doing much touring but may do a big event. Perhaps it’s what kenTBMH said not touring for 3 years straight for example. As for the AVA movie…shit always gets delayed and they probaly thought it would be best to release it with the next AVA cd so it won’t be the final production won’t be distracting the blink recording process. jacobman pd.com posted enema demos about a year ago I think it was, they may still be there somewhere. There is like 5-6 songs. Really looking forward to a newspost from mark perhaps a new podcast explaining more!! wishful thinking I know
February 16th, 2009 at 3:36 am
COOOL! Tom please tell me more about the UFO things you’re doing!! I’m not a member of ModLife but I’m thinking about joining now
Although I think that Tom should set up his own website with webcams in his studio, a chat room and message boards etc so he can Blog and talk to fans of both Blink and AVA. Just a thought.
… and I thought 2009 was gonna be a rubbish year
LOL
February 16th, 2009 at 3:45 am
my vid isnt working
February 16th, 2009 at 4:16 am
Damn if I’d known that whole live broadcast would be here I wouldn’t have get out of bed so early. lol ohwell I saw it live
February 16th, 2009 at 4:16 am
just seems like toms talking shit the whole time when talking bout blink, doesnt seem real excited like when he talks bout ava
February 16th, 2009 at 4:26 am
WHAT HE SAID ABOUT RADIOHEAD???
February 16th, 2009 at 4:37 am
Hey guys, did you heard the “blink182 demo” part at the end??
Because i cant….:S:S
February 16th, 2009 at 4:43 am
I’m not likin’ how much he talks about AVA…
February 16th, 2009 at 4:52 am
Well it is a AvA Modlife isn’t it David? We should be glad that he is talking so much about Blink 182 and he really sounds excited about everything!
Cool if Blink would get a Modlife!
February 16th, 2009 at 4:53 am
@Orian
Like anyone gives a shit about the movie anyway. lmao.
February 16th, 2009 at 5:07 am
what does he mean ‘not much touring’ ???????
February 16th, 2009 at 5:31 am
God i hope the new blink album doesnt sound like ava
February 16th, 2009 at 6:27 am
KIE, are you retarded?
He said AVA will sound more lke Blink in the future.
February 16th, 2009 at 7:32 am
haha maybe ava sounds like blink because blink is starting to sound like ava listen to the demo sadly it looks like it but i hope im wrong
February 16th, 2009 at 8:11 am
Sounds very contradicting :/
February 16th, 2009 at 8:19 am
THIS SITE ROCKS!
February 16th, 2009 at 8:49 am
warped/?
February 16th, 2009 at 8:51 am
Sounds good… I’m not pleased to hear that blink sounds like toms stuff tho. I think on take off your pants and jacket and enema had alot more mark than tom. Tom seems to be getting a little flaky and full of himself the last few years. I hope the guys in blink will be able to calm him down and make him remember
February 16th, 2009 at 9:08 am
what demo??
February 16th, 2009 at 9:35 am
Any thoughts on what the big tour for blink could be? maybe a few dates on warped? i don’t know green day has there new record so we might be able to see another pop disaster tour which would blow my mind! any other thoughts?
February 16th, 2009 at 9:58 am
also honday civic tour is this summer too hhhhhhmmmmm…..
February 16th, 2009 at 10:03 am
Hey, can somebody upload the vid somewhere like mediafire etc…? ’cause it is not available for my country. Thanks
February 16th, 2009 at 10:59 am
I’m Russian blink fan sorry! I’m don’t understand English!
Короче если кто то понимает русский то ответте на вопрос
приедет ли blink 182 в россию если приедет то когда и в какие города!!!????
February 16th, 2009 at 11:03 am
No offense tom, but i know a lot of people feel the same as i do, we only listened to ava cause you were in it, not very many people like it as much as blink, i know i don’t i only listen to ava cause i love you guitar riffs and vocals, i’m not saying get rid of ava, but focus on blink more than ava..
February 16th, 2009 at 11:26 am
Tom,I know you read these
you said you could be touring in a big event this summer or something, which could be taken as Warped Tour
I beg of you, please make a stop in Kansas City, for last summer in Kansas City you got TORENTIALLY RAINED ON! you came out in your swim suit and everything, we begged you to go on with the show
I think you owe Kansas City another visit!
<3
February 16th, 2009 at 12:07 pm
2 things:
1) I have a hunch that warped tour may be their big summer event? Tom mentioned he was going to release his new website, a portal linking a bunch of warped tour affiliated bands at the same time they would be touring in the summer (makes sense that the tour would be warped tour). I can’t imagine how massive warped tour would be if blink was on it, could they really accomodate that many people?
2) Did he just compare himself to Steven Speilberg and Mark and Travis to a camera man and writer?
February 16th, 2009 at 12:26 pm
This here is great. And I’m really inspired to go buy a LightSaber now. ha!
February 16th, 2009 at 12:51 pm
great how u edited my comment. don’t really know why you are so childish about this. it even says blink-182onine.con in the video
February 16th, 2009 at 12:52 pm
at least now u credited it. thanks
February 16th, 2009 at 12:54 pm
Green Day + Blink 182 =
February 16th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
they FOR SURE wont play warped tour…because at warped you only get a 1/2 hour…and plus theyre way too big. its for upcomming bands that will go on to change the world…exactly what blink did…they changed the whole music industry. no matter if they hate or them…if you ask anyone…do you know blink..they will for sure say yes.
as for the honda civic tour…again…its a mini warped..except indoors. again..too commercial.
I think blink will do their own tour. north america. 1 or 2 headline bands and then a 2 hour set(hopefully)
but my whole point to all that is.
blink=life
February 16th, 2009 at 5:55 pm
I just hope they come to Seattle!!!
February 16th, 2009 at 9:09 pm
hes not saying anything outlandish, hes just saying that new blink will be a combination of everything he has done in the past, not just ava
February 16th, 2009 at 10:08 pm
definetly agree with Zach there
February 16th, 2009 at 11:39 pm
ok heres my 2 cents. warped isnt out of the question as it HAS had pretty popular acts on its stage from time to time. there isnt even going to BE a honda civic tour this year so that’s ruled out. i think a pop disasters 2 COULD be interesting if they did it right. as for the sound. i think everyone should stop listening and over-analizing the WORDS and just wait to judge until the record comes out. it seems like people are looking for ways to be let down by this when this is the very thing many people have been waiting YEARS to have happen. even if it DOES sound like AVA you’ll still be able to tell it’s blink. like tom said. the LAST blink record had hints of box car. keep in mind yes AVA’s ringleader is in blink but so is mark and travis. i’m sure THEIR elements will be heard JUST as much because 3 unique and creative minds make blink-182 and THATS what made them so great. just relax and enjoy everything that happens WHEN it happens and do what blink said…get ready
February 17th, 2009 at 4:43 am
I set my alarm at 5am to watch this and I pay out the arse for this shit. I am such a tool… but mostly, you’re a total dickhead for posting this.
February 17th, 2009 at 5:06 am
I hope they come to Sweden
haha but it sounds like thats not going to happen ;(
February 17th, 2009 at 5:56 am
whatever steve said
February 17th, 2009 at 1:39 pm
To me, this sounds like Tom would rather just continue doing Angels and Airwaves. It sounds as if he is just doing Blink as if to fulfill a void because of a tragedy. He mentions in different ways how he feels more at home with AVA, and that he feels he can do whatever he wants with them. Honestly, it seems as if Tom is simply using Blink 182 to make AVA more popular and easier to promote. With that said, I do like Angels and Airwaves, +44 and especially Blink, but from the sound of it, Tom is pretty stuck up, especially when he compared himself to a famous director, and Mark and Travis as no name writers.
February 17th, 2009 at 2:41 pm
look at all those pockets on his jacket
February 17th, 2009 at 5:06 pm
Tom, if you read these . . .
Can’t wait to hear the new CD, heard the demos and they sound so new and exciting, can’t wait.
You’re fucking awesome lol, Be sure to give us all a head’s up on when you guys’s touring so we can get tickets
P.s do NOT get rid of AVA. lol
February 17th, 2009 at 5:07 pm
Short clips of demos on utube anyway
February 18th, 2009 at 5:52 am
I kinda agree with Devin but one thing…
Blink is better than AVA.
February 18th, 2009 at 9:50 pm
[...] for visiting! Tom Delonge of Angels and Airwaves and Blink 182 recently hosted a Modcam Chat and some fans extracted the most important details from the chat for this [...]
February 19th, 2009 at 8:11 am
Lets hope that they will not be going on the warped tour but instead touring with sum 41 or green day both who are going on tours this summer. If they go on warped tour they will only play 30-40 minutes on crappy stages with sound that sucks.
February 19th, 2009 at 5:25 pm
just listened to the apparent blink-182 demos and thought they sounded great
…but not for blink they’re way too much like AVA who i really love but think he should keep that sort of stuff for AVA or he’ll end up having two bands that sound exactly the same, which would not only be pointless but would disappoint alot of fans who have high expectation for the blink album..
February 20th, 2009 at 4:23 pm
OMFA if i heard the demo i’d shit.
March 10th, 2009 at 4:13 pm
Pleace come to Kansas City. YOu could fill up Arrowhead Stadium witch seats 80,000 people!!! Of all the people I talked to, I don’t know one that woulodnt want to go! PLEASE COME!!!(:
April 5th, 2009 at 9:54 pm
I think when he says that the new AVA cd will sound like blink, he means that blink is starting to sound more like AVA. You can hear it in the latest blink album… that album sounded different than any previous blink album… sounded more electronic like angels… i think the new blink album will sound even more like angels… I think that Mark realized what he was missing without Tom because tom is a much better musician… AVA did much better than plus44 and Mark is realizing it… Tom is the man and will be writing almost everything for blink now… I cant wait to hear the new blink and angels’ albums and see the tour this summer… and see the new AVA movie!!!!!

It is possible to fail in many ways…while to succeed is possible only in one way.
