Dommage je pense que ca sera surtout destiné aux americains mais c'est deja pas mal !
En esperant qu'on ne leurs posent pas des questions moisies super banales et qu'on apprennent le maximum de trucs sur le prochain album

J'ai peur que de nouveau le fitrage de question va être très (trop) efficace

Ouais en éspérant que les questions soient un peu mieux choisies que la dernière fois,c'est clair

Pas de doute jpense qu'un gentil américain ou un gentil nous (assez courageux pour veiller jusqu'a minuit-1h!!) nous écrira les questions et les réponses.

Ptain le 14 juin,le lendemain c'est littérature et Espagnol au bac

Ah une bonne nouvelle, jtrouve sa nice que le groupe fasse des sections spécial pour ses fans, spa N,importe quelle groupe qui aurait faite sa. jme demande juste au quebec sa va être a quelle heure, Nous avons 6 heure de differance avec vous et si c'est a 1 heure du matin vous, nous se sera à 5 heure

Genial!

J'ai rien compris azz

y a une section pour les nouveaux sur le forum où ils se présentent faut y passer!! parler un peu de toi tout ça!! ^^

moi je serais présente pour le chat en tt cas, comme l'autre fois!

L'autre fois? Et donc, c'était comment? ça vaut le coup?

Yvanna a écrit:

Il me semble que la première fois ça s'est pas super bien passé, du genre le groupe arrive en retard et les fans ne récupèrent pas ces minutes après, ou du genre vas-y bonne chance pour que ta question soit posée. Mais sinon on devrait avoir pas mal de réponses, donc je pense que ça vaut le coup quand même.

donc ui le groupe était arrivé en retard et on avait pas récup les minutes effectivement.
tu poses des questions et le journaliste choisit lesquelles sont posées au groupe.
c'est pas forcemment les plus interéssantes qui passent, mais je trouve que c'est un concept sympa dans l'ensemble ^^

combien de personnes peuvent s'y conecter?

y a pas de limite.
mais faut être au taquet ça dure très peu au final et faut se grouiller à écrire les questions u___u

Ca va être galère mais bon faut tenter!

C'est demain! Perso je pourrais pas y être car ça risque d'être très tard chez nous et bac obligé, donc si certains peuvent y aller représenter les quelques fans français

En tout cas on risque d'avoir quelques bonnes infos sur le nouvel album et le film, alors tant mieux

Si je calcule bien ça se passera vers 2 h du mat

j'irais ptete, je fais rien demain

putain, je devrais réviser quoi

Voici (selon punkdisasters) ce qui s'est dit sur le AVA Online Chat :

They said they'd post it on the site themselves but I had already coppied and edited it so here it is (I missed a few questions but the important ones are there):

How is the new album coming along?

Atom: Its a beauty.
David: Its coming along amazing.
Matt: Quite well. Brilliant.
Tom: Smashingly.

What is your favourit song off your new album?

David: We don't really have song titles yet!
Tom: The one that goes .... how do you type that?

Who would you like to tour with on the upcoming album?

David Kennedy: The Killers, Nightmare View...
Tom DeLonge: The Foo Fighers and Coldplay

can we expect to hear new songs in the shows in august?

David: We're workin on it.. we're gonna try.
Tom: We're working on it

How do you feel when your new albums come out? are you nervoues people wont like it? or if it gets a bad review?

Tom: At that point it is kind of .. it is what it is. We can't really go back and change it at that point. The nervousness happens earlier on.

is there an exact release date for I-Empire?

Tom: Not really. Early or mid October
Atom: We were shooting for September, but...

Why did you guys replace Ryan?

Atom: We didn't replace Ryan but we had to break up with him and we needed somebody to play bass. We didn't like, want to go out and replace him. We just needed a change. It just so happened that Matt was available right away.

Any advice for a band looking to make it big?

Tom: Probably don't go into it with the goal of making it big. Go into it wanting to create something cool and have fun!

Matt, what are you looking forward to most about being in Angels and Airwaves?

Matt: Sharing bunks with these guys...
David: You know you're on the crew bus?
Matt: Awww...man

Will "I-Empire" have a different style than, "We Don't Need To Whisper"?
Tom: Its more dynamic, but its still very much Angels & Airwaves. But it is developed.... I could go on forever.

When can we expect a new song?

Atom: Late August. The record comes out on October. Unless somebody breaks into Tom's e-mail again.... That's how our first single got leaked was a kid actually broke into Tom's email account.
David: It worked out for the best though!

Will AVA be having any meet-and-greets or signings this tour? I would like to thank Tom for being my inspiration, you got me through alot of hard times and kept me going.

Atom: YES!
David: Yes
Matt: Yes

what inspires you to write music?

Tom: Experience and surroundings...

Hey Tom will you be getting any new tattoos in the near future?

Tom: No, I don't have any plans.

Tom mentioned a technology that will revolutionize america that was being invented by the band. What?

Tom: If we told you we'd have to kill you ... all of you !

If you have to describe the band in three words what would they be?

Atom: Awesome Awesome Awesome

are any of you vegetarian, or vegan?

Tom: No

Do you ever search on the internet to view how many fanlistings you've got?

Tom: Yes
Matt: What's the internet?

Are there any acoustic tracks on the new cd?

Tom: No, but we're working on acoustic versions of all of the stuff.

Whats it like living months at a time on your tour buses?

David: Stinky
Tom: No its not stinky. We're clean men...
Tom: Atom smells bad.

How many tracks can we expect on the new album?

David: There will be ten tracks

Tom, if you could be anywhere right now, where would you be?

Tom DeLonge: I'd be in the studio recording Angels & Airwaves records!

Have any of you ever broken any bones before a show?

Matt: I've had a concussion during a show...
Matt: the brain is a bone ...

i just wanna know how will your new album be...it will be different from the last? i heard voices it would be similar to blink-182 sounds... is it true?

Tom: There are always elements of things that we love in the past, but it is still more of an Angels & Airwaves sound.

Dave, what is your favourite kind of guitar to use live and in the studio?

David: Gibson 335 live but it is modified with diamond holes on the body. In the studio there are too many different guitars that I use, to actually name..
David: I'm a big dude and I need a big bodied guitar. I'm a tall drink of water.

matt, I was wondering hows working with ava different than working with 30stm

Matt: Its fun

Tom... When you were little did you have the insight into the world that you do now?

Tom: I was really more just into punk rock. I was like just f*ck everybody else. But I've learned over the years that it is a bigger world and there is more to pay attention to and be excited about.. musically and politically.

Does Tom still make those funny statements live and on tv? Tom knows what I mean by funny! lol

Tom: Yes
Tom: What's pink and tastes like peaches?....

Are you guys superstitious?

Tom: Yes, very.

Any music videos, or anything exciting coming soon?

David: Yeah of course

is anyone else singing besides tom?

David: Not yet
Matt: We're all harmonizing with each other like the Dixie Chicks....

Hey tom, what can you tell about the AVA MOVIE ?

Tom: Still in the process. We've had a lot of opportunities. The idea is to keep getting bigger and bigger. It will come out in some version.

matt how long have you been playing bass for?

Matt: This week
Matt: About fifteen years

whats the wierdest thing you ve ever seen?

Tom: This girl one time she jumped into one of these retainer ponds in Florida. That was amazing. We thought it was funny until we realized thats where all the alligators hang out. She made it through... But that was pretty weird.
David: Matt wasn't there for that particular party.

why choose the name i-empire? is it apple related?

Tom: No its not. It was a play off the i-Generation

Tom what would you say to those who believe in your songs and really changes their lives?

Atom: We're happy to help. It changes our lives too.

David: We do all kinds of sh*t man. We work on motorcycles and cars, computers. We do all kinds of sh*t man!

Tom: I work out on an elyptical machine.
Matt: and he looks super good doing it

Tom, i love your signiture fender strat, i even have one of the models myself, but i was wondering if you ever used it to record any tracks on the cd or the new one coming out?

David: Now its Gibson but he used to use the Strat a lot
Tom: Yeah.

Did you ever think that you could change so many kids lives with that Guitar and a couple of friends?

David: No, not necessarily but I knew what music did to me when I was younger. I thought maybe we could do that for other kids.

Tom, what is your favorite movie?

Atom: Tom's favorite is Monster In Law
David: Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
Matt: True Romance

Atom, what are the sizes of your drums, and do you prefer compact bass drums over normal ones?

Atom: I play like the biggest bass drum on the planet!

what do you like to eat while on tour?

David: Sushi

tom, do you still skateboard?

Tom: No I don't.... I watch Atom and Dave do it through. I'm too busy writing hit songs..... just kidding.
Tom: But if I had to I'd still do, uh, a 50 50 grind. Cradle robber.

Matt: In London at the Astoria

Tom -- Other than AVA do you have any other side projects music-wise?

Atom: No
David: No
Matt: No

On en apprend pas énormement ... l'album devrait sortir plus vraisemblablement en octobre, et un premier extrait devrait paraitre vers la fin Aout. Pour le film, c'est encore flou ...

Merci!
On apprend pas mal de choses!
On devrait avoir un single fin Aout et la sortie de l'album serait prevue pour octobre!
Je trouve qu'il y a eu des questions pas mal intéressantes!
Et puis maintenant on connais la signification du nouveau titre de l'album!

Merci, c'est cool

Je la trouve franchement pas terrible cette interview mais bon, merci quand même.

ahah et jai tenu jusqu'a 2h pour rien moi.

Des réponses un peu trop courtes j'trouve parfois, mais bon cette interview reste quand même interessante, et ça m'impatiente encore plus là, pour leur nouvel album.
