Angels And Airwaves diss George Bush at Carling Weekend : Leeds Festival

Angels And Airwaves dissed George Bush today (August 26) at Carling Weekend: Leeds Festival.

Tom DeLonge's band was playing the main stage.

The singer said: "We have our problems in America. George Bush is a cocksucker!"

He also talked about his old band Blink-182.

Delonge said : "The last time I was here was with my old band. We made a lot of dirty jokes, and I'm not going to talk about fucking Goths just yet."

He added: "I love England because of the amazing fucking rock and roll. You don't know what it was like growing up in California."

The band debuted new tracks from their forthcoming album 'I Empire'. They played the noticeably stripped down 'Lifeline' and 'Sirens'.

Biggest cheer of the set came for 'It Hurts'. Before playing it DeLonge said: "Whatever anyone tells you, you can do whatever the hell you want."
