@@user-fc2jg9tl2y it seems like they lowered the key a bit so he can sing it better and also he wasn't drunk here when he plays live hes usually fuckin hammered.
@@fintendonerd8457 its pitch corrected but true - they lowered the key from D Major to A Major so he doesnt have to scream this song as he uses to in the original.
Tom is a lot lot lot like Sting. He grew up. His voice changed. He's not screaming punk songs any more. I really love this - he sang and played within his ability. But the words are magic.
@@markothwriterpitch correction is used in a ton of mainstream and underground in tons and tons of different genres, It’s nothing new, invented in the 70’s for instruments, then used for vocals. It’s a common tool that engineers frequently.
The comments on toms voice. About how its changed and all that shit. U needa harden the fuck up. Toms a fuckin genius. You cant stay 20 and jump around a stage forever. People grow up and people change. Blink 182 will always be the best band in the world and it should be kept as a memory. Not how everybody is fucking it up.... For a mature musician tom is doing great things. So... To the stars
People saying this is just pitch correction, no, its not. Yes obviously its there, but Tom is sober and he isn't slurring at all. He is saying every single word clearly. There is a massive difference to Tom singing acoustic to when he sings live because when he sings live hes drunk as shit
All the songs are tuned down in these sessions right? Really does wonders for Tom's singing performance, this is probably the key he should sing in, just listen to "The Invisible Parade" or "Anomaly". Just fits his voice so well.
Honestly, help me out here. Based off your comment. This is one thing I’ve never understood. Im 31 yrs old, ive been playing since I was 14. My first bands first show was at the 9th grade jr high talent show, we played dammit lol and kicked ass. But still, I’ve been in several bands, written dozens and dozens if not hundreds of songs, most of the time I coordinated the whole thing, I showed my brother the drum beats (and he tweaked it in his own way to make it his own) I showed my buddy the bass lines, and then I did the guitar and vocals. But my question is. Wtf does it mean “this song is being played In A” “it’s usually in the key of C or bla bla” what does that mean? In all my song writing I’ve never known what key the song I’m writing is in. It just sounded good. I know music and I know what sounds good. But I don’t know much of music theory. Like in this song for example... does it even matter that there playing in A? And if so why? I’m so confused on what “key” songs are played in even means. Say a simple song goes G, Em, C, D. Does that mean that the song is being played in the key of G? I do not understand this part or music theory. Please help. And if friggin Tom DeLonge can figure it out, I should be able to. Lol. Please help.
The song is being played in A meaning that the song is mainly played revolving the A Major Scale. That means all the Notes & Chords will contain the notes that pertains to A Major ( A - B - C# - D - E - F# - G# ). Of course there might exceptions to these in any given song, but that's the main reason. So in your example of G - Em - C - D, yes that is in the key of G because all those chords are all made up from the notes in the G Major scale. Hope this helps. @@doink2u69
@@doink2u69 it's music theory. The comment meant it's played in the key of A major. You should study into different keys and scales if you're writing songs, enjoy !
Back in 2007 we have AOL Sessions... now we have Amazon Music Live and a entire generation of artist that came up from RUclips or Spotify... Even a lot of the MySpace generation artist have solid carers now, i feel old haha
I really don't agree with Tom on a lot of his politics/world views, but I know he is trying to push what he thinks is the best for humans, and there isn't anything wrong with that. That should be all of our goals and so what if we disagree. These kind of songs really show that passion he has for doing better than those before us. Thanks Tom for all the inspiration you give us. You've gotten me through a lot of hard times
Tom has spent his ENTIRE career utilizing mostly 2-3 note chords (and his melodies are not much more complex; just fast). Let that sink in a bit. You can only use about half of your neck's vertical distance to write some truly unique stuff. Edit: POWER chords
David is still in the band. He's not doing any of the press related things for The Dream Walker because Tom and Ilan were the only two people to work on that album. Tom said in a recent interview that David will return when AvA start touring again
Wild to have been watchin blink since 03 And have made my entire music career based off Tom and Travis. To see him back with blink makes my music career complete. Let’s go 2023 world tour! 🤘
as soon as i heard the beginning i laughed at the FAP comment. the best he ever sounded live. i felt bad because everyone was laughing in the theater during the live concert stream. AVA pushing the boundaries.
This era of AvA was amazing. Tom sounds amazing.
They're back!
OhNoAwBear not really tom has hinted on playing again but it hasn't happened
Auto tune.....

They would make a killer acoustic album!!
you're goddamn right
Isaac Gonzalez they're working on one!!
They made an ep!
And it's already out
Kyle Oakes it wasn't that good
0:00-0:05 - me when i'm alone
🤣🤣🤣 yo wtf just beautiful comments and then there is that one troll that we need in our comment section to ruin it all (thats you)
I hope you have a helping hand these days
Underrated
Jesus
Man is learning his paradiddles

You know Sting uses autotune, you know that right?
also he's still screaming punk songs lol.

@@crrtis You seem to know a lot more than I do. I defer to your expertise.
is it just me, or does Tom actually sound GOOD here??
He sounds good when he tries lmao
Tom is a poet! His lyrics are just next level good.

To the stars
can't get enough of the "hear your voices sing back louder" part! so fucking perfect with so much feeling! Wish I could sing
dw tom can't really sing
You realise Tom has made in excess of 65 million from singing and playing guitar right?
Please tell us how far your talents have got you in life
AvA 182, ur so damn right
@@dylankennedy6389Everyone knows that Tom isn't a great singer. He's made his mark with his songwriting capabilities and his melodies.
I love this performance of Secret Crowds
Still gives me chills, all these years later. 🔥
This is my favorite AvA song or at least top 3
I've never heard delonge have these melodies in his voice until these aol sessions. I wish he would sing more like this

ArunSG1910
There is some live shows where he is sober, and he sounds good.
Which is damn impressive considering pain killers fucked up his voice on top of all that.
The warble generated by pitch correction software/pedals is pretty obvious here. Not sure what you’re hearing.
I hope they do another acoustic set like this. It's brilliant!
The beginning is kind of like a boxcar racer type of sound
It sounded like Up All Night to me
+Alex Lutz same
+Alex Lutz The chorus in the beginning was always for me :')
For me more like All systems go by BCR
Well he wrote the shit for boxcar so that would make sense.
All the songs are tuned down in these sessions right? Really does wonders for Tom's singing performance, this is probably the key he should sing in, just listen to "The Invisible Parade" or "Anomaly". Just fits his voice so well.
Actually, i'm pretty sure they just played it im the key of A rather than D
I fucking love their acoustic
if i had my own world id fill it with angels and airwaves
I love how all of their AOL acoustic songs are played in A
glad im not the only one that thought that haha
let's be real... it's probably the only key Tom can sing in LOL

The intro sounds like up all night. I guess.
This came out before Up All Night. So technically Up All Night sounds like this. ;)
Daniel Dempsey Actually, Up All Night was written around the time their self titled album was released. It'd technically be older than this.
Daniel Dempsey No , if you search , you gonna see ,tom's do the chords of up all night i think in 2004 or 2003
Well up all night and secret crowds sound like all systems go by Box car racer (A band Tom had in 2002)
it also sounds like All Systems Go by Boxcar Racer
anybody still here in 2022?!?
How bout 2023!?!?
2024
2024
Yeah! And the sky is blue...
The best line up :(
This version of "Secret Crowds" it's just wonderfull! The matching of the sound of the instruments and Tom's voice it's perfect!
Tom's voice is so beautiful. Screaming or singing.
Back in 2007 we have AOL Sessions... now we have Amazon Music Live and a entire generation of artist that came up from RUclips or Spotify...
Even a lot of the MySpace generation artist have solid carers now, i feel old haha
Perfect bass, perfect guitars, perfect drums and awesome the Tom's voice!
beautiful
I love you Tom, I will follow you til the end of time!
Beautiful version of a beautiful tune. One of my absolute favourite from these guys!
Love the bass on this video!
One elk of a tune !! To say the least dear fams

You've gotten me through a lot of hard times
I learned this in half an hour. Best half an hour ever
well the melody is always
Tom sounds great when singing lower. Fantastic

Let that sink in a bit. You can only use about half of your neck's vertical distance to write some truly unique stuff.
Edit:
POWER chords
i love the awesome head bobbing he does at the begining
bells on shoe...never seen that before..brilliant
his voice is so beautiful here :')
It's Twoooooooommm DeeeeLwooonnngggggggg... I love these guys. Their first album will always be my favourite.
smooth tom,smooth.
Can't believe Matt, David and Atom are all gone..... Tom and Ilan are the only ones left.
David no
Well they haven't officially announced David's departure, but he's not on any recent band pictures or in any recent interviews.
David is still in the band. He's not doing any of the press related things for The Dream Walker because Tom and Ilan were the only two people to work on that album. Tom said in a recent interview that David will return when AvA start touring again
Matt left? wtf
Tomass Zdanovskis Look here's the interview:
www.rocksound.tv/features/read/tom-delonge-this-has-never-been-done-in-the-history-of-rock-n-roll
you still be my favorite artist❤
He sings so much better in this band, rather than not even trying to sing in blink, still both good bands: )
If I had my own world, I'd build you an empire.... The lyrics are so great, one of the best songs I've ever heard
Good times...
toms voice is awesome in this one, i love it
This acoustic session helped me remember why I love these songs so much.
tom could literally screech into the microphone and scratch nails on a chalkboard at the same time and he'd still have the voice of a god
Wild to have been watchin blink since 03
And have made my entire music career based off Tom and Travis. To see him back with blink makes my music career complete. Let’s go 2023 world tour! 🤘
I just discovered this song two days ago. Wow,amazing. I cant get ovet it. Some of Toms best work.
tbut there ae many serious, and great blink songs:)
Tom actually sounds good here.. Like so good..
@HomemadEntertainment Haha lol me too. Tom, Mark & Travis are geniuses!
If I had my own world, I'd build you an empire! :D
they need an accoustic CD :D
Thumbs up if you think that best version of Secret Crowds is this one...the one and original!!!

LisaRose it's because you're sick minded
Tom killed this. Best ever just cuz of the acoustic3
Tom is God's greatest miracle
