"80,000ft to sea level in seconds." captured on radar, talking about the Nimitz incident. Is it possible you're crazy? "I couldn't even tell the guys in blink...they got really upset - I was already being brought in to all this stuff. This is scary, this is not sci-fi. This is very real. Give it a few years and I think it will be a much bigger deal." New AVA album: "Film and album come out together. Tom co-wrote and directed the film. Probably right after the first of the year. January 2020." Damn, and it's over.
I enjoyed the start of the interview when he talked about how his motorcycle reminds him of when he used to skateboard.
Hey at least it was better than the Mark/Travis interview a few weeks ago on KROQ because it was more interesting an a half hour shorter. But yes pointless.
Ah man, the hype was so real for a little while. I'm still hyped for the album but the excitement is a little more distant and not as immediate now.

The AVA music has got me excited and kind of happy it will not be released before the tour. Would love to just see them play their first 4 albums/ EPs and only hear Rebel Girl and possibly one new song. Kind of like Blink's current tour.
Was thinking the same thing. The more new songs played, the less likely I'll get to hear non singles like Sirens or Young London. Save the new stuff for a 2020 tour.
I don’t think much from this forthcoming album, TDW, or any of the EP’s will be played. I’m thinking you’ll get maybe Paralyzed or Wolfpack from TDW ... but I don’t expect anything after that besides Rebel Girl.
I hope we get at least one more new song before January. I am impatient & need new AVA like right now.
Actually, this is an awesome way to look at it. If I was attending the tour I would definitely feel the same!
Yeah I'd love to get a hefty helping of Dreamwalker/EP tracks in the set. Even the songs on Love II weren't really given a proper showcase, I'd love to hear Surrender or Dry Your Eyes.
