  • AFI WILL NEVER DIE

  • HE SOUNDS LIKE ELVIS!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAH

  • DAVEY HAVOC rocks life... epic shit... ive never heard a bad performance or of key singing by davey

    bulgaria

  • @zergb0ng You can't spell his last name, so yeah, I'm sure he rocks life.

  • @TheSecretNinja337 havok, and yeah he is brillian in his lyrics writing, happy ?

  • @TheSecretNinja337 you're kind of a douche

  • @nofx84 Who are you?

  • damn davey sounds like shit here

    he can sound way better then what he does!

  • has Daveys voice changed?? his voice is like lower/deeper...... :(

  • jade is rocking the sweater vest

    

  • AFI IS THE GREATEST BAND THT EVER WAS FORMED....

  • 3:14 omfg.

  • lol@1:01

  • Davey Havok were better when he was black and gotic but they are always better

  • is that Davey Havok or Morrissey? Either way, it's cool with me.

  • These guys are in their 30s, have been doing this for 20 years, and still have the best showmanship of any band. Just go to any of their shows and you'll know exactly what I mean. They sound and look incredible. If you're lucky enough to get them in a smaller venue, the crowd interaction is unreal. They become one with the crowd, just like at an old school punk show. And I think it'd be hard for anyone who does 5 high kicks a song to hit every note completely right with like CD quality clarity.

  • @idontsurf999 You're describing AFI 8 years ago, AFI's live show has decreased a lot now, go check my older videos. Davey now uses a mic stang for 8 songs now and doesn't move anymore. Those kicks you talk about do not happen anymore.

  • @TheSecretNinja337 I just saw them a year ago. The guy dove off a speaker and into the crowd and his legs and mike chord were wrapped around my neck. I remember it clearly because eventually he had to get back on stage, I was in the very front, and he was sitting on mine and my friend heads until he and Smith could untangle us. He would get on his knees and sing right in our faces, and he would grab someone's hand, get close and sing with them.

  • The stage wasn't even that big, during the leaving song Davey, Hunter, and Jade all did these off-the-amp synchronized high kicks and it was insane. It was literally the most intense concert experience I had ever had. Maybe I got lucky. But I was in a smaller venue and I have heard from other people who go to their shows that smaller venues usually have that privilege.

  • @TheSecretNinja337 I saw them on their last tour in a small venue and it was incredible. They talked to the crowd members, Davey walked on the crowd's hands and they were very much involved.

  • @TheSecretNinja337 - yes they do.. I was at a concert last year and the band was amazing - and they were moving around.

  • @idontsurf999 not to mention the rolling stones are in their 60's and are stilll insane live, mick is crazier than davey by far

  • @lesthanjakkickas I disagree, but to each their own.

  • @idontsurf999 they're in they're 40's...

  • @dannymillion actually 30's...

  • the singer looks normal now i actually like his hair now, but the fucking guitar player good god, either have long hair or short hair, dont have one side of your bangs long and the rest of ur hair short... fucking faggot

  • How cool would it be to have Davey as a dad?

  • Comment removed

  • fknq amazinq !

  • one of the best frontman ever

  • 8 People couldnt follow or swallow whole. Must be beiber fans

  • did you all see him do a double kick into the splits during the intro...TRUE GREATNESS

  • Ummmmmmmmmmm the high note was spot on? You must all be deaf.

  • His voice sounds as strong as ever in this live. And considering he isn't formally trained and has had surgery he is doing better then most. even freddie mercury had trouble with the high notes and had to harmonize lower towards the end.

  • Does anyone think that he said Oh! too early in this performence. He should have said it before the riff. Great perfomance but.....it really bugs me

  • No, its in the same key, but it's lower.

  • Look at the performance at hard rock in '03, he's singing like an octave higher, i miss old afi.

  • @SamuelllSabotage i c wat u mean but maybe not an ocave he still sounds awsome tho :)

  • Comment removed

  • @SamuelllSabotage Actually same key same note. Just different...still awesome.

  • people.

    they have been a band for nearly 20 years. in that time, THINGS WILL CHANGE.

  • A) did anyone become a fan of AFI because of davey's hair? no? we became fans because of their amazing music, right? just checking.

    B) I had low expectations when I first clicked on this video because of everyone's comments about davey's voice. but to me, his voice honestly sounds perfect here... he nails every note, including the high notes at the end. as men get older, their voices sometimes do get deeper. but it sounds to me like davey still has his range. in short... AFI still kicks ass.

  • @rhcpluvr4life I agree with everything u jst said except for the low expectations..i think no matter how much his voicee changes he will stl be amazing..

  • Fuck, his voice got deep then a motherfucker o_O

  • Yeah sittin at the computer watching these videos you might notice the voice change a little bit, but I'm guessing 6-8 beers down, standing in the crowd at this show, you would have never noticed! These guys are great. People do age...

  • Comment removed

  • his voice sounds fucking terrible!

  • @ajamessmith1 noo it doesnt..i wud lik to hear u sing btr thn him

  • 0:21 most epic splits evarrrrrr!!!!

  • Why you guys arguing over Davey's hair? Jade's hair is the best anyway. xD

  • his voice is gotten deeep mother fucker is gettin old................damn.......­fuck time kills...

  • young tom waits

  • I think he didn't sing as he always does... I saw another live a few years ago and he sang a lot of better than this!

  • he sings diferent and hes long hair looked all way better

  • i hate when people say he cant hit that high crescendoed note at the end.i saw them in may and he hit it PERFECT,i melted ^_^

  • I don't get why people think they changed so much. I really don't. Yes, Davey keeps cutting his hair shorter, and yes some of the guitar work is different. But if you listen to some songs you can find similarities with the songs from crash love to even the songs on the sing the sorrow cd. Yes, they changed slightly. But doesn't every band have tiny changes in sound from cd to cd? And in my opinion if every song sounded exactly the same I would get REALLY bored!

    <3 A.F.I.

  • @xAutumxFirex daveys hair was actually shorter in the early afi people just got used to STS hair i guess.

  • @slayerelmnt I know it was, I was just saying that I think that was one of the things that changed. :) And other than that I don't know much of the stuff before the STS days, but that's probably because back then I was to young for my parents to let me listen to real music. haha

  • Damn...Jade didn't age a bit. Lol

  • Punk people complained when AFI was all "Emo"... now Emo people whine that aren't all dressing like gay 14 year olds. It's the ultimate in irony. I'm so glad they changed... again.

  • maybe he got aids

  • @AFIfan96 All of AFI's albums are awesome! There music saved my life.

  • hes 34 wat do you expected

  • his voice changed? what happend puberty kicked in?

  • @Razzlesnaps No jerk. Things change when you get older.

  • @analyticalw

    I dont think it was that he was still singing high pitch in december underground he decided to change the way he sings imo bad move.

  • Is their even any AFI fans here old enough to remember when Davey HAD SHORT HAIR BEFORE IT WAS LONG?

  • @Deetroiter I know. Man I do miss the old days. But what can you do? Wanna hear stuff like their old shit? Go start a fucking band and play it. Lol. And lulz to the dude saying AFI didn't change that much but the furthest back he went with albums was sing the sorrow.

  • anybody else notice he sings that last line different then the rest of the sone?... i liked the end better

  • the mosh was so much fun for this song when they came to edmonton :D

  • @ChitoseShizuka Decemberunderground and Sing the Sorrow were good.

  • @ChitoseShizuka he isn't all dolled up in makeup

  • I love this song! (Then again, I think I say that on like, every AFI song XD) I love the band in general! I aspire to be like Davey with the amount of energy he has no matter what! He's an awesome performer, and furthermore, an AMAZING singer! As is Jade an awesome guitarist, Adam and awesome drummer, and Hunter and awesome bassist!

  • Why is his voice deeper here? I think i heard somewhere he got surgery

  • personally, i like the hair. Has an old school-ish feel to it. but.... we all know we don't love the man/music/band for the hair.

  • Just because his voice sounds different that the album several years ago doesn't mean his voice is "bad." They have been evolving with each album and you cannot expect him to look and sound identical every 4 years. I think he is beautiful, his voice is beautiful, and they are still so exciting to watch :)

  • AFI must put on some great concerts, I'd love to see em live

  • his voice sounds....bad what hapended there

  • @arkbleid hes tryin to hard thats why. ussually he goes with the flow and thats why they WERE great peformers

  • while the art ismoost important hes a goregous man and we cxare about the hair lol

    plus with the way the albums go,when it vhanges theres a suddle musical change

  • poor davey and his hurt throat

  • well...i wouldn't say his voice can't go that high. it sounded like he could hit the high in girl's not grey...i think he just can't get the shrillness anymore

  • Please don't bash me for this comment:

    Ever since his surgery, his voice got alot deeper and it doesn't work quite as well for his Sing The Sorrow songs... He sounds great still, but his voice just doesn't sound quite the same for the songs on that album... It works better for his more recent songs from Crash Love.

  • Glad to see he doesnt look like shit anymore haha

  • he just had throat surgery thats why e always cuts out

  • Oh he did, which part does he cuts out?

  • How many songs did they play at kroq?

  • lol The jump at the end when they do this live is epic. Awesome song!!

  • Its really depressing that someone with a great voice had to have throat surgery, making his talent diminished, Its the Same with BFMV. =\ still a great band.

  • his voice has come a long way but it never was "Great"

  • Jade Puqet is Like my Fucken HERO <33333

  • He is? Well, you spelled his name wrong...

  • probably shouldn't be doing all this singing after throat surgery, especially the screaming in the other songs.

  • his haircut looks so damn normal now... sad

  • yea because we all like AFI for their haircuts.

  • lol ya, lame...

  • He's not even singing the way he used to, I'm completely disappointed -__-

  • are you guys kidding me?? his voice to you apparently sounds lower??? well he is still hitting the same notes. he is just singing with a more fuller voice. so it sounds deeper

  • @othercooldude  Agreed

  • I think his voice is still good and Jade is still amazing haha. Great guitarist!

  • he loses his hair and his voice, damn

  • @RabidMonkey23 yeah,, damn -.-

  • i'm not worried about his hair, but Iam worried about his voice. He sounds nothing like he did back in 2003.. Like he stoppped trying to force his voice to be so high and it comes out like this. Its weird

  • Well, he fucked up his voice from all that screaming. But yeah, this doesn't sound so great. Though I have heard more recent live recordings where he sounds better.

  • why's everyone care about his hair? his hair didn't write the music or sing the song.

  • @pokerXfaceXplaya Yeah, but those are just as horrible as his hair.

  • @pokerXfaceXplaya Haha, dang... I thought Davey's hair did all the work. I've been listening to wrong thing then. :)

  • @pokerXfaceXplaya oh but it did

  • @pokerXfaceXplaya or did it .. lol im just messin with u ... ur rite

  • he needs his hair back

  • @KillDaUserName yeah i agree with u

  • hell yeah davey, way to nail the high note at the end :D

  • i just found out he had vocal surgery

  • when...and why

  • solo se corta el cabello el buen davidd jaja y sus "fans" ( december underground) que poco saben de ellos los empiezan a criticar jajaja

    afi una muy buena banda hasta que empezo a seguir una "moda" y no a hacer lo que ellos aman...como en este video hacen lo que ellos aman y no la modita que sus "fans"(december underground) siguen, empiezan las criticas

  • That one hair is annoying me.

    :)

  • wow his voice is deeper but owell doesnt mean he is less of a fuken kick arse dude and afi is WIKED BITCHES WOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  • cmon guys davy is getting up there in age and hes had vocal surgurys leave him alone douchebagss

  • Being old and getting vocal surgery isn't an excuse for giving a mediocre performance, people paid money for the show..

  • He's not old, and it's not a mediocre performance. By AFI's standards it's mediocre. By live performances in general it's a good performance. Not many bands I've seen can sound half as good as AFI live so take that into context before commenting on their abilities to preform. People pay for worse performances every day, when they go to 90% of the crap live performances from bands that aren't as talented as AFI.

  • My comment was in reply to ramprage15... Yes this performance is mediorcre, all the STS and most of the DU performances were better than this..

  • My comment was in reply to you... Like I said, it's mediocre by AFI's standards, but not at all by live performances in general. Most bands are not even this good live. By the way, this is one of there first performances in a long time, after the break after the DU tour, cut them some slack. I saw them on the 13th for CL and they were amazing. Much better than the DU tour, playing even more songs and more variety from past albums.

  • It should always be good in general... And if this performance is a "good live performance", then AFI sucks live... First performance in a long time? Why is that excuse always used? If it was their first performance in a long time, then Davey would have a perfectly rested voice.

  • You're an idiot. Really. There's no avoiding it. You have impossible standards, no knowledge of musical talent and what it actually takes to sing... and I hope you find a band that always puts on a perfect show live. Oh yeah, It's called lip-syncing. Moron.

  • I can't criticize a performance? It makes me an idiot just because I think this performance is mediorce? My standards are not impossible... And AFI was able to put out many perfect shows...

  • pitch shifters are everywhere

  • Comment removed

  • and on top of that davey had vocal surgury

  • @ramprage15 Your the one spelling Davey and surgeries wrong and your calling other people douchebags? By the way, 34 is not that old!

  • @horselover1127 im a douche bag because i spelld shit wrong and for telling people to lay off him .. i left that comment months ago dude whos the douche bag here .?? fuck off man 34 is old when u hhave had many throat problems so shut the fuck up

  • your comment is a major fail

  • give em a break one of the first shows they had played for quit a long time if i can recall.

  • yo guitar seucks in this.,.. they used to be so much better

  • wow your spelling is so horrible i thought you were typing in another language

  • have u seen medicate live yet? awesome guitar solo..

  • He should have stuck to ripping off Danzig's look, it worked better for him.

  • sounds like he finally hit puberty

  • i was at this show, and i have to say they put on an amazing show. I wasn't into AFI before but i was after this show.

  • horrible show

  • That isn't Davey Havok. It's Elvis in the midst of a very long, drawn out sex change operation

  • fuck.....damit...fucking shit......where the fuck is the long hair?!

  • there's is actually on youtube right now a confirmed interview (audio only)

    of davey's vocal surgery

    and how he had to learn different styles of singing

    says he got it around the STS era

    which explains the lower voice

  • If I recall, he got the surgery to sing higher.

  • He supposedly got the surgery due to a cyst on his vocal chords.

  • yup.. he had nods on his vocal cords

  • He's still awsome

  • hate the look

  • he sings a bit different coz he hasnt been performing live and shit for a while, i imagine more they play davey returns to his truly awesome form...still loved this 5*

  • the reason for his lower voice he had a cyst on his vocal chords and ruined most of his range from screaming improperly

  • The ending, OMG, it kicked ass :P

  • I've been listening to AFI ever since "answer that and stay fashionable" and have followed them all the way to now but have never seen them in concert. Is this how he sings in concert? what's up with the low voice? I'm thinking about seeing them when they come to San Diego with Rise Against but i'm not liking his voice, can anyone help me out with how he really performs? thanks

  • saw him at ulalume a few weeks back and he just got out of the hospital and sounded amazing live despite being sick...i recommend it

  • He is very good live, I think that his vocals werent that good here because this was their only performance of 2008. check the same song at Hard Rock Cafe, amazing vocals.

  • crash love and sing the sorrow were the only good albums

  • This comes from a guy who just commented "The Leaving Song Pt II and Girls Not Grey were my favorite songs when I was 5." So you must be 11. I bet you haven't even listened to AFI's older albums.

  • win sir win!

  • @andrewandaustin dude listen to anything from the art of drowing, all hallows EP, black sails in the sunset. since you obviously havent.. haha

  • @TheSecretNinja337 Amen XD.

  • you forgot answer that and stay fashionable.

  • shut your mouth and open your eyes!!! ALL THE WAY!!! I also really like answer that and stay fashionable! and very proud of ya hell I just love everything through sing the sorrow haven't heard the new album yet though

  • I love all the AFI Albums, cept for Crash Love, Sell out album. Fucking Sucked.

  • @azpandaman SHUT UP!! all AFI albums are awesome

  • the low voice on crash love is gonna take a while to get use to

  • not gonna lie. they need to practice their older songs quite a bit....because this was just plain awful....

  • the end sounded very davey the rest was different but goood

  • also he sounds like hes pushing it from his gut he jus needs to relax his throat and just go wit the flow yo

  • they need to play other songs besides STS like some from AoD such as story at three dude that would b epic to see them play that song live

  • they actually are starting to play there older songs, theres a video of them playing the song ny-quil from 2009!! and its pretty good too

  • awsme pants

  • k this is a great song but they need to open with a different one besides this or prelude every once in a while.

  • this is so horrible my god , listen to this live when davey had long hair

  • its not as good as it used to be, but then again, that was six years ago

  • Yeah, I agree. But I also think he might have been sick. He always sounds like batman when he's sick. But like even the music sounds different-they're just not the same band they used to be.

  • wow, davey has so much energy in this performance!

    he's so sexy
