I got Angels and Airwaves' first DVD last week. It received many positive reviews for the honesty and openness of Tom DeLonge in it. Personally I agree, I learned some things about Tom and the band that I didn't know before. He realised he was being a dick with all the bombastic claims before the band released the first album, and he genuinely understood that he went over the edge with what he said. Also, he was on a lot of pills due to his back problems and he became addicted.
There are two sides to every story, but the way Tom opened up about Blink 182's breakup in this documentary makes you feel sorry for the guy. The way he was pressured and the choice he reluctantly had to make must have been really tough for him.
Anyway, the DVD made me listen to the band a lot more again, Tom's a great songwriter. Not the most complex guitarist, but he really knows how to build up songs. Can't wait for the third album.
