You know you were born in the wrong place/time when you only heard of AFI in 2007 when you were 11 by playing guitar hero 3 when you visited your cousins who live in sydney, australia
god his voice is crazy. love this band. saw them live a few years ago in pitts. definitely one of the best punk songs from one of the best punk albums from one of my favorite bands.
@shalalalauren oh god tell me about i saw rancid their when i was 15 talk about a death trap they fully break code to sardine 10000000 people in there lol
@MrTONYTOXIC haha for real. it was my worst crowd surfing experience. i got punched repeatedly. but totally worth it! love them. rancid's legit, too. you ever been to a show in cleveland?
@shalalalauren i havent listened to rancid probably since those days lol still love some old afi though ...iv never seen one out in cleveland yet though iv had many offers something seems to come up everytime lol
dont spam at people who are mad they afi has changed
(in my opinion they have to read these comments and maybe one day they will decide to make a punk album for there diehard punk fans.) they did change for the worst but id love to hear some old afi on there next new album
man i miss the 90's AFI...i mean ill still listen to their new stuff...but its like...it doesnt feel the same...doesnt have the fire inside like it used to(hence their name A Fire Inside)
@owl316 dude they were called A Fire Inside way back in 1993...i dont care if scene kiddies use that term haha...because thats actually what it meant....im 26...i was around back when they were badass, but im not bashin you or anything..atleast you're listening to this instead of rap or that other pop shit
@Marsdevilsvolta haha thanks, i didnt wanna contribute to the already high levels of youtube replys consisting of just the word faggot or the usual "your moms a whore" line...we have enough of that already..gotta break the cycle sometime haha
im goin to see AFI august 18th wit greenday.. I HAVE TO , i love AFI!! however, im scared that theres not even gonna be a mosh pit, if thast the case im gonna punch some 14 year old girs in the nose..
@yugoterror lol i have the same worries. im gonna see them september 2 and i dont really like green day. i just really wanna see them. im gonna be super far from the stage though so tht sucks
I love the old instrumentals of AFI...but...the vocals...they just don't do it for me. I mean, I love a good scream, especially Davey's, but this old stuff just has bad singing and bad screaming :/ I mean, when they changed, did they feel that it was necessary to slow down the instruments along with cleaning up the vocals? None of it makes sense to me.
This is AFI. The screaming is hardcore/punk rock... nothing can touch his screaming in this album. The way he screams now is similar to all those screamo bands out there.
This screaming is more raw and has more energy. Too bad he can't scream like this anymore, then we wouldn't have any of the Miss Murder/DU/CL fans that ruin what AFI stands for. Fuck... way too many posers at the AFI concert I went to in 2009, it's ridiculous. They got fucked over when DU hit the shelves.
@Dustin795 Well I like both the old and new AFI (except Crash Love). I liked the rawness of the older music but I love the depth of the newer. The lyrics are more creative, more well thought out, the songs are a good length, and everything is organized. Rawness and fair instrumentals are all I can really give to the old, mainly since the lyrics sound like a kid wrote them and the songs (correct me if I'm wrong) aren't really organized into Verses and Choruses. But w/e we all have opinions right?
this video is an amazing example of how people dont appreciate them when they were amazing. this videos been out for 3+ years, and only has 40,000 views
anthems for insurbodinates is still afi so you just said to fuck old afi as well. You could have just said to fuck new afi, although I like everything afi has put out, minus a few songs on crash love.
i know this comment is old but whatever i hate arguing on youtube but for afi, ill do it in a heartbeat. this is hardcore obviosly but it is definately punk. i dont know what ur hearing but evry1 else here can tell this is punk.
also this is OLDER not OLD 2 different words. old means from a loooooong time ago, but compared to now this is considered older. learn the words, 2 1st grade words
how did they turn pussy? just because they don't play the music you like?all music has to evolve and all that, and it's not selling out it's more like reaching a bigger audience.Like you wouldn't sell out if it meant more people get to hear your music? isn't that what bands really want? exposure and more fans?
lol ok. A lot of people hange their looks all the time, it doesnt mean theyre lying to themselves. I changed my hair style every week and that doesnt mean i lie to myself or anything.
yes i change my mind but never to sellout or lie to myself!
damn well complaining aint gonna solve anything ...i hope the best for davey and afi
but hell it would be best if they keep doin what their doin cuz no way they could get their old sound anyway cuz their mentality is diffrent from when they were teenagers! plus the afi is missing the 2 original members who wrote the nice riffs for davey's punk voice! no way these new guys could do it...so ya it is what it is
i can only partially agree with you because Jade and Hunter could write punk heck they wrote this song but yes they never sold out they just matured musically into what they are now
im not going to argue with you over this is punk or what you call hardcore emo shit you can call it whatever you like but just because the lyrics are meaningful and/or poetic doesnt mean its emo
Please stop listening to typical, shitty, corporate backed music. Look up both of the bands I mentioned and you will see that they are MUCH heavier and FAR better than the crap that Viacom is shoving down your throat. Stop listening to bad music.
@sigilumsanguis pantera was by far one of the most amazing metal bands of all time, goreguts is nothing like pantera they are a different genre of metal and have reached not even close to the same amount of people who love the music pantera made and korn is fucking awesome! they have changed yes, who doesnt change? and who the fuck is deathspell omega? hahaha obviously not very well known so enough suck dicks
@blasphemyreborn No. Pantera was by far one of the most POPULAR metal bands of all time. Certainly, they had some tallent, but much of their popularity was due to outlets such as MTv and Vh1. The same goes for Korn, except that they have no tallent. They play the same boring, myopic song over and over, rearrange the composition and lyrics, and slap a new title on it. Commercial success does not dictate the skill of nor the quality of a band or their music.
Please stop listening to typical, shitty, corporate backed music. Look up both of the bands I mentioned and you will see that they are MUCH heavier and FAR better than the crap that Viacom is shoving down your throat. Stop listening to bad music.
rofl, introducing my first love with harder metal... this album kicked ass and still does... i will always respect these guys... even if they did go mainstream... they will always have a place with me, they have lead me to bigger and better things... all shall perish, suicide silence, heaven shall burn... all kick ass bands, all started with this album... great great fucking band
Superb album, in my opinon, it was ahead of its era in terms of genre and style. Perfect blend of hardcore and melody, with the begining hints of the AFI we have today, needless to say with the sprinklings of goth infused charisma. This song is one of my favourites on the album.
I'd agree with you, but I don't think that you really get a sense for where AFI is currently at from this album at all. Hence the disconnect in their fanbase.
like even when the used were good as fuck, on there 1st cd. and even AFI sing the sorrow was good. but i just dont think im gonna like the new stuff they put out
i miss it when kids were cool and bands were still atleast kind of underground.
and yes, i know sing the sorrow is the CD that got them big" but it was great.
Does anyone know where their are more vids, besides the DECEMBERUNDERGROUND, STS, Art of Drowning, All Hallow's vids are. Oh and Third Season! I know theres more?
Ahhhhhhhh I remember when AFI was good..... this album is amazing. The shit they're making now just throws me. THIS was music. Their first three albums and their eps were amazing.... what happened???
the best part is definitely, "in, an instant my life just slipped away, i fought for life the whole time you were holding me down, you watched me dying holding me down, you brought my rebirth!" fucking incredible, the lyrics on this album are out of this world good!
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER. i don't see how people can deny that because they think they are so cool to call them sellouts now because they spent 10+ years being a small band and now they're multimillionaires. i don't like their new stuff beyond sing the sorrow, but they are very very talented.
They fit into several different genres. This stuff is considered Horror Punk, and before this is Punk Rock/Hardcore Punk, and sing the sorrow and decemberunderground are Goth Punk. but no matter what genre, they are the greatest band to ever exist.
Egh, Jon, I don't think you know what you are talking about. The terms Gpth Punk and Horror punk don't apply to AFI at all. Horror Punk is stuff like the Misfits "Teenagers from Mars" or "Return of the Fly." They're not really deserving of the term Goth Punk either, considering its roots with shit like TSOL.The, the best term for THIS album is probably what they called themselves, which is Eastbay Hardcore.
Well, I do agree that they were Eastbay Hardcore, but that changed with this album. They have stated that the Misfits were a big influence to them. Listen to the song "I Wanna Get A Mohawk". In the lyrics he says, "I listen to the Misfits every single day" and that was when they were Eastbay hardcore. So I personally feel that with those sort of references and their sound at the time, it's not a stretch to think they can very well fit into the Horror Punk genre.
I think December Underground was a continuation of a poor direction that started with Girls Not Grey. I get the aesthetic, but, Black Sails and Drowning are totally different than their last two and in my opinion, far better. This could be a difference of style, but I think there was a sense of importance to their lyrics with the two aforementioned albums that you just don't have with their major record label stuff.
DecemberUnderground Goth Punk? In my opinion it's more like Alternative rock with various Experimental/80s influences if you ask me (The Cure, etc. and electronic sounds as well that Jade said were almost used on Blaqk Audio).. Sing the Sorrow was a lot more punk influenced than DU but I still see it as more of an Alternative rock album with several goth/punk influences.. but yeah I do agree with u on one main thing they do excel at the genres they pursue which makes them a very versatile band
AFI used to be hardcore Punk but they had alot of Goth influences like The Cure and The Cult, as well as Horror Punk like The Misfits obvious. Then with Sing the Sorrow they went alternative. That's just how it seems to me anyway.
Yeah that's pretty much the way it is. As far as Crash love, it seems like it'll be Alt. Rock meets Hard Rock, Medicate was very guitar Driven and Davey's showing an obvious Morrissey influence nowadays; so who knows what to expect lol
was 8 when this album came out.. first punk band i ever heard. got this on cassete. remember my cousin driving me around the city all the time blastin this in the mini van. r.i.p tommy

Superb album, in my opinon, it was ahead of its era in terms of genre and style. Perfect blend of hardcore and melody, with the begining hints of the AFI we have today, needless to say with the sprinklings of goth infused charisma. This song is one of my favourites on the album.

I'd agree with you, but I don't think that you really get a sense for where AFI is currently at from this album at all. Hence the disconnect in their fanbase.

god, i love this AFI so damn much
i miss the Old PUNK years..
like even when the used were good as fuck, on there 1st cd. and even AFI sing the sorrow was good. but i just dont think im gonna like the new stuff they put out
i miss it when kids were cool and bands were still atleast kind of underground.
and yes, i know sing the sorrow is the CD that got them big" but it was great.

the best part is definitely, "in, an instant my life just slipped away, i fought for life the whole time you were holding me down, you watched me dying holding me down, you brought my rebirth!" fucking incredible, the lyrics on this album are out of this world good!

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BANDS EVER. i don't see how people can deny that because they think they are so cool to call them sellouts now because they spent 10+ years being a small band and now they're multimillionaires. i don't like their new stuff beyond sing the sorrow, but they are very very talented.

No it's not. It's Hardcore/ Horror post-punk. Now AFI is post-hardcore.

AFI has no genre... don't label them... it's just awesome music.
DefBrif 3 years ago 3
Yeah anyhow. And when did 'horror' become part of a genre? I'd fit that more into Danzing and The Misfits.

RockabillyRevAndrew 3 years ago
Then you obviously don't know AFI, their music fits into no genre, and they've stated that...
DefBrif 3 years ago
They fit into several different genres. This stuff is considered Horror Punk, and before this is Punk Rock/Hardcore Punk, and sing the sorrow and decemberunderground are Goth Punk. but no matter what genre, they are the greatest band to ever exist.
JonLikePlayGuitar 3 years ago
i agree. they seriously are the greatest band to ever make music.
period.
Nyfancam01 3 years ago
Egh, Jon, I don't think you know what you are talking about. The terms Gpth Punk and Horror punk don't apply to AFI at all. Horror Punk is stuff like the Misfits "Teenagers from Mars" or "Return of the Fly." They're not really deserving of the term Goth Punk either, considering its roots with shit like TSOL.The, the best term for THIS album is probably what they called themselves, which is Eastbay Hardcore.
Phallomancer 2 years ago
Well, I do agree that they were Eastbay Hardcore, but that changed with this album. They have stated that the Misfits were a big influence to them. Listen to the song "I Wanna Get A Mohawk". In the lyrics he says, "I listen to the Misfits every single day" and that was when they were Eastbay hardcore. So I personally feel that with those sort of references and their sound at the time, it's not a stretch to think they can very well fit into the Horror Punk genre.
JonLikePlayGuitar 2 years ago
I think AFI was a great band, however
I think December Underground was a continuation of a poor direction that started with Girls Not Grey. I get the aesthetic, but, Black Sails and Drowning are totally different than their last two and in my opinion, far better. This could be a difference of style, but I think there was a sense of importance to their lyrics with the two aforementioned albums that you just don't have with their major record label stuff.
Phallomancer 2 years ago 2
I think we can agree there.
JonLikePlayGuitar 2 years ago
DecemberUnderground Goth Punk? In my opinion it's more like Alternative rock with various Experimental/80s influences if you ask me (The Cure, etc. and electronic sounds as well that Jade said were almost used on Blaqk Audio).. Sing the Sorrow was a lot more punk influenced than DU but I still see it as more of an Alternative rock album with several goth/punk influences.. but yeah I do agree with u on one main thing they do excel at the genres they pursue which makes them a very versatile band
RobbieM5290 2 years ago 3
AFI used to be hardcore Punk but they had alot of Goth influences like The Cure and The Cult, as well as Horror Punk like The Misfits obvious. Then with Sing the Sorrow they went alternative. That's just how it seems to me anyway.
MasterBlade4 2 years ago 3
Yeah that's pretty much the way it is. As far as Crash love, it seems like it'll be Alt. Rock meets Hard Rock, Medicate was very guitar Driven and Davey's showing an obvious Morrissey influence nowadays; so who knows what to expect lol
