Tom DeLonge – Angels & Airwaves, they have the talent and will soon change the face of rock n’ roll.
According to Tom: “Right now, I’m a song and a half from finishing the greatest album of my career, and i swear it’s going to be something that will compete with the greatest rock records of all time. Within two years, we’ll be the biggest rock act in the world. There’s never been a rock band from America that sounds like us. And I hope that what I just said raises more than a few eyebrows.”
Tom has been working hard on his latest band’s album. He said that the Angels & Airwaves album is autobiographical. “It’s cinematic and massive. All the songs have dramatic crescendos and huge stadium choruses,” he said. “If you slam the Cure, Pink Floyd, U2 and the Police into one band with me singing, that’s kind of what it will sound like. It’s everything you like about those little bands, but also with parts of Blink in there too.”
Tom also has a movie accompanying the album but he won’t tell details about it yet at the moment. Tom said that both album and film will tell his side of the story regarding the Blink indefinite hiatus. DeLonge has remained silent while both his former Blink182 bandmates, Mark Hoppus and Travis Barker have moved on to their other endeavours.
"I love Mark and Travis to death. They were my best friends in the world, and I miss them tremendously. At the end, our priorities were mad different, and I haven't spoke to them since," he continued. "So instead of talking, I just made this album and this film. There's a story line that runs throughout it, it's autobiographical, I felt like I lost my two best friends, I lost the band I created, and I did it all for my family. And so I decided to write the album and make the movie about my life. But rather than sit there and whine, I used analogies about love and war, because that's what this whole thing was like. Playing music in the wake of the Blink thing was like finding love in the middle of a war zone."
Above statements are from Tom DeLonge and once Tom and his new band, Angels & Airwaves continue this approach, without a doubt, they can be the greatest rock and roll band ever.
