Warped 2008: Where are the Angels?

Oh, they're here ... whichever two are the angels in Angels & Airwaves. But the band's a little flat, because the guitarist's axe was flat all throughout "It Hurts."

Otherwise, the spunk is there, even though front man Tom DeLonge revealed that he learned that a friend of his has been diagnosed with terminal cancer 20 minutes before showtime.

His effort is normally respectable (if not contrived), but today he's singing his lungs out. He had the crowd shake their arms in unison before launching into 'I-Empire" just now as a way to send "positive energy" to his pal in Cali. As disingenuine as AVA's music can feel at times, that's a seriously kickin' gesture ...

... too bad the band followed that with a profanity-caked hyperspeed old-school punk rollick. There goes that nice moment ...
