AVA needs to quit trying to copy 30 Seconds to Mars, they suck too much ass. The jacket w/band logo on the back, which is itself a rip off, the city skyline in the distance, the tunnel, the hand gesturing, the new symbols (which frankly, don't make sense really) and of course the bassist. (sorry Matt, but wtf, WHY?) I mean, I look at the video and expect a 30STM song to start playing...then I had to mute it cause it's actually AVA, and they're terrible. blech!

Caty.Chaos
The video is pretty good. You can say its a rip off of 30STM, but in the end who really cares? it all comes down to the music which is incomparable. If you don't like the music, then why were you watching it anyways?

enmarwen
to make my point that they're trying to take Mars's ideas, If I hadn't watched it I wouldn't have seen some of the similarities. And you're right, who really does care, they suck ass Mars doesn't who has the insanely huge fanbase and who doesn't? AVA is shit. and why the hell is it AVA? There's no V. hurrf.

Caty.Chaos
Angels has their own fanbase no matter who doesnt like them. and the V in AVA is the A in AND upside down, also a tribute to Tom's daughter.

enmarwen
lol it's miniscule. A bunch Blinktards with even less taste than the usual ones. And last I checked an upside down A still =/= a V. Just sayin. Then again I could see Delonge's derp logic there. Grats on him managing to spew his load into some poor female and reproduce though.

Angels and Airwaves are a very unique band, you shouldnt be bashing them, and if you think their copying 30 Seconds to Mars, then MCR copyed Nirvana with Smells Like Teen Spirit with their video of Teenagers. Think about what you guys say before you post it, ok?

ltblacky
30 seconds to mars sucks. jared leto can't sing, he just tries to scream like a girl live. at least Tom tries. and 30 seconds to mars has never done anything like this video. at all. every video they make is a poor excuse to show that jared is an actor, not a musician.
