Honestly back in 2006 I thought this band was going to become the greatest band of all time...they really did end up like that to their fans but they didn't get popularity like I had imagined
Jameson Bornholdt Because Tom said it over and over. Don’t worry, I drank the kool-aid, too. I still like this album, but can definitely look back on it now a little more neutrally than I could when Tom was hyping it.
@@AnshumanDwibhashi Because Tom's voice isn't that great. He was magic w/ Blink 182 and Punk but pushed it to a level he wasn't capable of vocally with AVA. He should have kept it simple vocally.
They played this whole album in my hometown because that was all the music they had at the time. Haha. They added some storytime and acoustic blink song performances. But the reaction in that room when they played valkyrie missle and everyone saw tom was pretty uniquely intense.
Hot is the word to describe these shows lol. At least the indoors gigs. I went to several AVA shows during this time and they are still the best live performances Ive seen....but HOT...all the lights and effects along with a shitload of people....Tom is sweating like mad in all the videos for a reason.
@@ashleymaker39 Definitely not, because Antares is a bad program for live shows and you also hear a glissando. Have you ever worked with the Antares Autotune? Buy a good computer with an interface and try autotune live and you'll find that it's unreliable and sounds very different from this recording. It's not even a T-Pain hard pitch effect but just a pitch correction and a mixdown in the DAW. That is the entire secret.
Dk's guitar in this song had to be master guitar riff than Tom so the sound operator turn it a lil bit louder and clearly and yes this video was remastered again for better sound
I don’t know why they haven’t just jumped over to using a Kemper or Axe FX. With how many different layered effects and samples and triggers they have going on it would make it easier to have perfectly dialed-in guitar tones that are reliable and sound the same every time. Valve amps are great for the studio where you have hours to tweak one sound but for reliability and consistency a Kemper is where it’s at.
This song gives me the chills, I can remember that year as if it were yesterday. Going from Blink 182 to this was an unforgettable experience. I remember even the band's official website, airplanes, war, the US flag, and the army were coming out ... thanks Tom for creating AVA
This honestly will always be my favorite phase Tom went through! It was an incredible thing to me as a die hard blink fan (specifically Tom) to watch him grow up before our eyes! Seeing him go from this super immature kid to going through his depression and then this phase right here where you can see he’s finally fully grown up and just thoroughly lives and enjoys where he’s at in life! And now look at him! Full circle! Back acting like a kid again with Mark on stage
definitely his best music but his style is Chris Gains to Garth Brooks...if you know, you know. I could have done without the San Diego improve at the end and I wish he was holding a guitar.
tom is a creative genius. i think if studio production/producers had more of a hand in AVA they would have easily achieved commercial success, but that was never the point of AVA.
I love you Tom I am going to your event on the 18 the march in London to see you live I am looking forward hope to be in front row AVA fan Michelle .xx
Whenever Tom sings without playing guitar I think his voice sounds better as he’s not hiding behind an instrument and you can really appreciate his vocals that way
Everyone is like “autotune” when talking about these videos. But like where did my guy go during the choruses? Lol. He be like “Tom, you’re on your own on those.” And the woos at the end are the highlight. Not to make fun of Tom. I love his voice. And he actually is really solid in this event.
Tom Delonge un compositor extremadamente bueno;@ adoro esta canción y este live es de lo mejor gran performace; Angels & Airwaves su obra maestra eternamente 💜💚❤💙
The sound of their first album is absolutely insane! This not being more popular makes me pretty sure that humans are dead inside... what a fcking masterpiece !
The Gift" There's the strangest excitement today, if you're awake then you're welcome to hear. I got a gift and it blew me away, from the far eastern sea straight to here Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now, it's like the rush has gone straight to my brain. But my voice is as lonely as loud, as I whisper the joy of this pain. And suddenly, you've done it all. You've won me over, in no time at all. And now I'll stop the storm if it rains I'll light a path far from here I'll make your fear melt away And the world we know disappear. If you ask I will do what you say All we have is this night to get through With a twist of your smile your own way you left me all up in arms and confused Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now And how this kiss will be wonderfully vain I swear I'll melt if you touch me at all, but then I'll ask you to do it again and again And suddenly, you've done it all. You've won me over, in no time at all. And now I'll stop the storm if it rains I'll light a path far from here I'll make your fear melt away And the world we know disappear. I'll stop the storm if it rains I'll light a path far from here I'll make your fear melt away And the world we know disappear. And now I'll stop the storm if it rains I'll light a path far from here I'll make your fear melt away And the world we know disappear. I'll stop the storm if it rains I'll light a path far from here I'll make your fear melt away And the world we know disappear. Make the world we know disappear.
"Fucking The Gift man, I like love playing that song"
I was thinking about that when i clicked this vid
with you,
love playing this.
Connecticut and love you bro.
Honestly back in 2006 I thought this band was going to become the greatest band of all time...they really did end up like that to their fans but they didn't get popularity like I had imagined
I got into them a lot later because I was like 7 back then, but I still thought the same. How the fuck did they not become more popular?

its because this is what nice sounding music is. people don't have time to wait for gradual buildups
If Tom could perform really well live and had flawless vocals like on the records, they would have had the potential to be a massive band.
@@AnshumanDwibhashi Because Tom's voice isn't that great. He was magic w/ Blink 182 and Punk but pushed it to a level he wasn't capable of vocally with AVA. He should have kept it simple vocally.
This band is "The Gift" to the universe.
Seriously ❤
I'm 11 years late but I love this band!
12 here ✨

They were top notch mate. Saw them 6x in the first few years
So much more feel than blink.... blink was great...this is so much more trancy!
Best years of my life. Witnessed the genius
Atom is such a beast on the drums! AvAs best drummer by far!
They really should upload the whole show. I'm pretty sure it was beautiful, and very emotional. Flawless performance
The good Tom's voice still did not fail.😢
its pitch corrected but yeah he still sounded great back then
after 10 years this song amazing
Konoha noMori 12 years
👌
13 years... Almost 14 ♥️
13
This song will always be amazing.
1:22 honestly the way he sings “in no time at all” live is so much better than on the album... especially the “at all” part
It's the Autotune kicking in unfortunately :(
@@ashleymaker39 no it's not autotune

If you can’t hear that this is auto tuned to absolute hell then…. I mean come on.
Never has David's guitar tone sounded better than this.
It's because they got rid of their mesa boogie amps after 2007, they use vox now which sounds like shit for their sound.
+CO2 Dabs Vox can still sound pretty good, but they do need to switch back I believe.
CO2 Dabs it’s because they plug the amps straight into the PA system, instead of putting them on a mic like how they record it.

Seeing Tom without a guitar is a trip, but his stage performance is still amazing. His vocals were insane here.
16 years later and still dancing like 2:32 to this song.

THIS SONG ALWAYS BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES
the best band ever :)
I cant stop listening to this song. amazing
Reminder for you to come back and listen because it’s still just as great 8 years later

definitely his best music but his style is Chris Gains to Garth Brooks...if you know, you know. I could have done without the San Diego improve at the end and I wish he was holding a guitar.
Finally without the documentary footage commentary
between!!!
The Social Ghost is there a complete footage of this show?
"f*cking The Gift man..."
''I like LOVE playing that song''
what video is this from?
@@shazlynn3677 it's the start the machine documentary
@@eridinthevirgin4191 thank you!! i watched it ages ago and couldn't quite remember where i've heard that line from
Haha yes. I knew the first comment for this video would be Dave's quote!!
Atom Willard one of the most underrated drummers of all time
This album and I Empire are the best AVA ever made
Don’t forget LOVE 2
I love that lower tune in Tom's voice, it feels like more... Peacefull
The best song ever written.
._. sure
Best lineup of the band right here
Like I love this song but watching Tom without a guitar is always absolutely hysterical
James Kozeluh I know, he doesn’t know what to do
@@MartyMcFly88 he didn't play guitar because he had a problem with his hand
@@rockerman8832 he plays guitar on The War at this same concert.
If Tom could perform really well live and had flawless vocals like on the records, they would have been a massive band.
that wasn't the reason they didn't become ''massive'' no matter how good they are, people will always refer to them as inferior to blink 182
Gives me chills I love this band I love Tom and love you all it’s dec. 2024 I hope we all live long and find the gift and love within…
Tom has a great voice he can put on a show for the fans awesome job to my homeboy keep it up you never disappointe

Omg Hear that voice !! Ava back on tour in 2019 !!
Unfortunately he sounds nothing like this anymore lol
@@aaronteets6869 He didn't really sound like that back in the day as well, a lot of pitch correction going on there in post production.
@@aaronteets6869 his succulent vocals sound better than ever quite frankly
I wish we could get more live videos of Angels & Airwaves!! Especially their newer stuff.
Eric Cunningham yea, especially a live version of CRAWL/MY HEROIN
I love you Tom I am going to your event on the 18 the march in London to see you live I am looking forward hope to be in front row AVA fan Michelle .xx
The Gift will forever be a classic.
So great to finally hear the outro from this. It was always cut in the doc as it went to Tom talking in the car. Love it :)
San Diego really is "so fuckin beautiful!" Tom was right!!
"The thing with music that's really cool..." 😆

Epic, wish AVA was still coming out with stuff

Nivea Tina eu tambem! eles podiam vir pro brasil, com cdrteza eu iria
Mah Ferraz com certeza. pena que eles não vêm no Brasil! gosto da banda blink182 e do angels and airwaves.
Was not surprised by the David Kennedy references in the comments haha!
I've done a guitar cover of this live song, with the same rare guitar David uses. What a song!

The Gift"
There's the strangest excitement today,
if you're awake then you're welcome to hear.
I got a gift and it blew me away,
from the far eastern sea straight to here
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now,
it's like the rush has gone straight to my brain.
But my voice is as lonely as loud,
as I whisper the joy of this pain.
And suddenly,
you've done it all.
You've won me over,
in no time at all.
And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
If you ask I will do what you say
All we have is this night to get through
With a twist of your smile your own way
you left me all up in arms and confused
Oh God I feel like I'm in for it now
And how this kiss will be wonderfully vain
I swear I'll melt if you touch me at all,
but then I'll ask you to do it again and again
And suddenly,
you've done it all.
You've won me over,
in no time at all.
And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
And now I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
I'll stop the storm if it rains
I'll light a path far from here
I'll make your fear melt away
And the world we know disappear.
Make the world we know disappear.
Peak AVA
Finally i can hear the whole thing without David talking lol
Ava is unique your mind set think again they don't appeal to the masses
2021
