      Greatest bands of all time. Well for some us. I grew up with blink….but AVA just means….more. The war imaginary. I’ve listened to this song while walking Normandy beach. It’s just so anthemic in a way many don’t understand.

      carlippo182 Jokes on you my man. Those guitars you're hearing on the chorus and big parts are the guitar tracks from the album. I agree though his actual guitar sound here is better than his vox tone. Also all of those Mesa cabinets on stage are for show. Tom and David's tone for this is coming from four main pieces of gear. A Marshall JMP-1 preamp, a Mesa boogie triaxis preamp, a Marshall power amp, and palmer speaker simulators. No cabs on stage are pushing air or miked up.
