it's funny how in all, and i mean it, ALL the videos which have the AFI old stuff, there are a bunch of asses saying shit about the new stuff, just stfu and listen the fucking song, if you hate so much their new music and want them to go back to this go and tell them that in the face, but stop posting bullshit
People keep saying "the new AFI" or "the old AFI", except, all there is now is AFI. A band changes over time. If someone said your partner was cheating on you, you'd be pissed. The next day, you get the real story, and your opinions change. With the change of the band members comes a change in music and that's just how it is. Besides, would you rather buy several monotonous albums or several unique albums? If you don't like it, then don't bitch about it. Time doesn't make U-Turns.
@christykientzler EXACTLY. I'm a fan of their old music, but I have no problem with the fact that they changed their style. Sure, I miss this stuff, but it's not like they don't play older songs at live shows. They do. :3 <3
@christykientzler Playing a consistent style of music doesn't mean monotony. New AFI fans always use that as their argument and it's total bullshit. Most bands DON'T change. In fact, I can't think of any bands off the top of my head that totally changed their style.
@DrWasteland133 I wanted my name to be straightedgepunk but YouTube rearranged it wrong and I didn't noticed it until it was too late. So I'm stuck with it unfortunately.
Lastly, if you truly want to go your whole life without temptations, then good for you(more booze, weed, and horny girls for me). But why label yourself? Just stay away from whatever you want, and drop the whole "I'm in this gang" mentality. Because someday, just like all the kids I knew, you're going to meet this attractive woman, and she's going to say "hey, do you want to get a drink?" and you're going to break edge and think "gee, I could have been doing this for all those years."
And furthermore, you only get one life to live. So why not have fun and experiment. I'm not saying go and be stupid and get hooked on heroin, or go kill yourself by overdosing on pills mixed with booze.
Enjoy yourselves. Smoke some herb with your friends, have some beer or wine occasionally. Don't just label yourself and think you're all super high and mighty and are going to live forever because you don't drink, smoke, fuck, swear, or eat good food. Live life how you want before it's too late.
The whole idea of hardcore straight edge is really dumb, at least in my shit hole of a town.
All these kids were doing it because their friends were, and they wanted to fit in. But as soon as they got tempted, and tried something which they ended up liking (usually booze) they were immediately outcast by certain friends.
The thing is, if you want to not drink, do drugs, etc FINE BY ME, but don't fucking ever tell me how to live my life or look down on me for doing shit you're afraid of.
davie havock is a douchebag and was never EBHC. he grew up outside of grassvalley, CA- not the bay area. he's a sellout whos music now only proves my point. afi WAS an awesome band that i've listened to since i was 13 but have since given up after "very proud of ya". i miss their old stuff...
Just because you have limited musical tastes doesn't mean the new AFI isn't good.
Hell yes it's different, but thematically there are a lot of similarities to the old shit. If you think it's too emo and poppy, listen to the lyrics and actually understand what he's talking about. It's still good as fuck. Only then will I respect someone's opinion on the matter.
And he's not selling out, dickhead, because he and the band are still making their music for THEMSELVES.
@SoulOnFire6066 hahaha! davey? is that you? i think i struck a nerve... i would just like to know what about my OPINION eludes to my "limited musical taste"? im sorry that i think afi is a band of sellouts- b/c as i stated earlier, they claimed to be something they indeed were not and that is EBHC (east bay hardcore, just in case you needed me to break it down for you, as you clearly dont seem to understand my point) (they hail from ukiah, CA)
@traceyc1982 Wrong . They never stated that they are EBHC .... Their fans however did. They always stated that they don't want to stick to a same genre.
@BlindMkd hmmm... that's up for debate. i'd like to know where you've obtained this info. i know they massproduced t-shirts, sweaters, etc. with "EBHC" all over the merch.
@traceyc1982 I own three badges "AFI - East bay hardcore" and on the back it says fan made with little black letters therefor I think they're fan made. As for the T-shirts I've never seen them - I can't comment on that . However I remember correctly that Davey mentioned in one interview that he never was a fan of genres but in music in general. Then again , I might be wrong .
@HoosierMF Yeah yeah , changing the style of music makes them sellouts , lol. They don't drive fancy cars, they are still straightedge and they still talk shit about religion and modern society on every occasion possible but they are still sellouts. Uhm , yeah, whatever makes you sleep at night.
@BlindMkd No, turning their back on their past as if never happened makes them sellouts. Anyone who is straight edge is a poser. Being anti-establishment doesn't give you artistic integrity - Anti-Flag and Green Day have been exploiting that shit for years.
@BlindMkd It's not a subculture at all. There's nothing special about not drinking, smoking, taking drugs, or having free sex. If you have to label yourself straight edge then it means you want attention.
@HoosierMF Does it have to be special to be a subculture ? Oh and everything that's not mainstream seems like a cry for attention. But it's not. Being straight edge is not putting X's on your fists ,it's a whole ideology. Check the onelifeonechance website. Davey has a video testimonial over there.
@BlindMkd I'd expect some kind of point to it yeah. It's not an ideology at all. There's nothing inherently wrong with any of the things that straight edge says you shouldn't do. I don't do any of them but I feel no need to associate myself with some stupid group with pointless rules. There are millions of people who live a healthy lifestyle
@SoulOnFire6066 CONT... and are not making music for "themselves" but for the MASSES on a major record label (interscope). and i never said that their lyrics of old are superior b/c obviously "cereal wars" and "high school football hero" are not their most intellectual works but was certainly groundbreaking in style for that era- an era in which i lived and was very much into the punk rock movement. oh, and "emo and poppy" has been mentioned numerous times butttt never by me, fag.
its called progress people. if your just now listenin to afi or even heard of afi before what they have been puttin out. you have no room to talk. just listen. sheesh. love it though
if bands today like green day, afi, mcr were 100times better then than they r now what if in this very next decade they'll be like they were then or i dont we need better bands that were like in the 90's. i have a feeling the 10's will be the new 90's
A.F.I used to stand for Abuncha Fucking Idiots" before they were played on Live 105. Then they changed it to "Ask For It" ,, and as they progressed and matured they renamed themselves "A Fire Inside" .. And they are much happier than any of the douche bags that call them faggots. Fuck you and suck it.
oh i thought you were calling me a fucking idiot at first but i dont think it stood gor that it was either askin for it or anthems for insurobidienc or something like that
It's sellouts like AFI that inspired me to play punk. It ain't hardcore like this, more like Misfits, but it's good. I promise never to sell out like these fags.
I like both there old and new stuff. There new stuff is emo punk and alternative rock but i could here a few parts that sound like their old stuff such as the leaving song part 2. there old stuff stays true to the old harcore punk scene which i like to.
LOL!!! Your such a scene bitch!! Old Afi is the best and new Afi too. Also if you just like a band for the way they look your really missing out on something very important THE MUSIC!!!!
MCR suck fucking shit cause tey're little fucker emo faggots that cry and cut themselves. AFI used to be good before they were corrupted by mainstream media and faggy little subgenres
it's funny how in all, and i mean it, ALL the videos which have the AFI old stuff, there are a bunch of asses saying shit about the new stuff, just stfu and listen the fucking song, if you hate so much their new music and want them to go back to this go and tell them that in the face, but stop posting bullshit

there's a difference between a fan and a fanboi.
a fan likes the band's good material and will happily critize its work if nessessary.
a fanboi however simply blindly follows the band kissing its ass and saying all its work is perfect wen infact it's not.
afi dragged itself into theshitter that is emo music. sadly they may never come back.
