  • Davey's voice, omfg... :O love it

  • DAVEY! his voice sounds incredible!

  • Davey "Ya, flavor it" hahahhaah! I LOVE THIS!!!!

  • I love watching this

  • just listening to this tells me that they bardly even edited Davey's vocals in the recordings

  • ahhh davey <33333333

  • I seriously would have died if I were there.

  • That was so cool! "I Am Trying Very Hard To Be Here" is definately one of favorites off the new Crash Love CD. This song is so cool because it's got that like pure, rock n roll feel. it's so awesome =)

  • OMFG!!!! i love Davey´s voice

  • so awesome

  • I love Davey's voice:)

  • i love all afi work but i have to say i really liked decemberunderground most out of all afi albums. decemberunderground helped me through alot.... you would not believe...

  • cool.

  • I started coughing while listening, but it was in tune

  • First time I saw this, I was like WTF? Then I heard the entire song on the new album and it's pretty cool.

  • I could watch this 100 times

    I love Davey's voice a capella

  • @andreaorell That's so true! I probably have watched this at least 50 times!!! When Davey does the "Woah" thing at the end, it's so great!!!! My favourite part, by far!!!

  • is it me or does it sound like he's saying

    WEIGH A HOE lol

    at the end

  • Comment removed

  • Heyyy can you even play the guitar?

    Heyyy do you just suck on N Sync drums?

    Maaaybe you should just shut up...

    Because you can't play.....and you obviously don't know chords.

    Well, it matched the beat when I played it on my guitar, good luck getting me to ever sing that while playing again. It's not the same chord progression bro, trust me.

  • lol "bro."

  • lol when do they say that?

  • They don't, I'm just making fun of a fellow commenter. =)

  • What the hell are you talking about

  • I was singing a little song about how it's not the same chords used in Miss Murder. I know this because I play.

    I suppose I was marked down for making fun of the guy because my lyrics suck.

  • the real title of this song is "I am trying very hard to be here" and cant wait for this album

  • Im looking through the song list on Crash Love and I cant find this song?

  • AHHHHHH! im so excited for this album!

  • awesome :)

    i cant wait to see them live on october 21st!!!!

    :)

  • As much as I love Davey's scream, it seems to me that now that he's given his voice a rest of it while recording this album, his signing voice has become much stronger.

  • badass

  • Comment removed

  • hee..... love the yelp!

    this is going to be cool.

  • i can wait the album of afi is great i like see video medicate

  • this gooooooooooooood disc i loooooooooooooove davey havok and jade

  • i am flailing now so bad... OMG OMG OMG!

  • i just peed a little bit... this is AMAZING

  • I STARTED CLAPPING. LOL

  • can't wait till it comes out!

  • fucking cant wait

  • Wow play over and over again at 0:30 it's quite interesting

  • hahaha

  • lmao i did that like 20 times xD

  • beautiful voice :D

  • i like the 'woah' at the end, but i dont think the lyrics are great

  • apparently my comment from yesterday didn't post, but it was something along the lines of THIS IS AWESOME! those kids are mad lucky, Davey is freaking hot, and I totally can't wait until Sept. 29th =P

  • omg who cares if he's hot... i mean, i like his new look, like, a thousand times more than that stupid haircut around DU... but, to make my point.. Who cares if he is hot?! :D i just hope the new cd will be as awesome as the rest :)

    (no answers to my comment saying "i care!" ;-) )

  • lol. ok, that wasn't the main point of my comment. I just thought I'd state it while I was commenting =P And I liked his hair around DU, why is everyone hating on Davey's hair?? and the cd will be freaking amazing. guaranteed ^^

  • Listen to the 80's batcave band Specimen, listen to the song Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and at 3:36 (in a standard recording) you will hear something similar to these lyrics....

  • the lyrics @ 3:36 of that song are "trash, trash, my gash"....mhmm...*that's awkward*

  • those kids are so lucky

  • Daveys getting old

  • It happens...

  • That's possibly one of the most pointless comments I've ever read. It's expected, they've been around for over 15 years.

  • : (

  • Medicate is available now, bitches.

  • roll on september 29th is all i can say :D

  • lucky bastards!

  • Wow and I'm just seeing this. I was just on YouTube looking at other videos. I can't wait to hear it.

  • I miss the old AFI :-(

  • Will you shut the fuck up? These back up vocal sound more like old AFI than the entire album of DU. You ungreatful little turd.

  • me too but i doubt the awesomeness of the good old hardcore punk afi will come back :(

    I like their new stuff but the hardcore punk stuff was amazing and much better

  • ne one know when this comes out?

  • JFGI.

  • Hopefully the new album will be good...

    Havok looks like a man not like a woman now lol... good!

  • very excited for this next album!

  • wow you guys they have always been sick will always be sick december underground was a great album so dont bash on it just cause it may not have been "AFI" but what is their style? it changes just about every album exceptions of their first three albums. listen to the music and dont judge it by what they have done in the past they are the best band so dont bag on what they have done

  • yes i go THEEGENERAL!!! i love this so far cant wait till they come to my town, the friday of my birthday!!

  • Sounds like they're gunna go for a Sing the Sorrow sound for this one.

    Don't judge, wait.

  • Some of you people need to just chill and wait for the ACTUAL song to come out. Any casual fan of AFI has come to expect them to evolve record to record. Every single record (besides ATASF ---> VPOY) has been some kind of evolution for AFI. Embrace it or get over it. Either way you should be used to it by now.

  • tottally agree :)

  • Some of us (like the band itself) act as thought ATASF and VPOY don't even exist. Heh heh.

  • that was 13 seconds withot instruments, how can you judge a song based on 13 seconds!!!!!!?????

  • how can you judge this on 30 seconds?!?!

  • Adam looks like he's having fun :)

  • hunter's got that head bob down pat (:

  • You're calling an entire song lame based on 13 seconds of a song without instruments.

    Davey has had to change his vocal style to suit the themes he's expressing in Crash Love. Also, due to his vocal surgery he can't sing in the exact same way he used to.

    Also, if you're going to be so attacking when it comes to how Davey used to sound at least drop names that are correctly spelt.

  • mucho loveee<3

  • You can hear Jade x3

  • Taking into account the fact that I'm partially deaf these days...what the hell is Davey saying! It's it flash flash car crash little fixtures/ or flash flash car crash we're not fixtures? I can't figure it out!

  • flash flash car crash we're not fixtures - that one

  • you must love the whoah at the end! Can't wait to see them next week <3

  • Davey Havok is unbelievably sexy

  • Comment removed

  • when is the release of thier new album??

  • september 29th :)

  • 9-29-09

  • I get chils everytime I hear Daveys voice! Its the voice a pure angel!!!

  • i already bought my ticket to their show. can't fucking wait. definitely love that they're going with an older sound.

  • i think this is ''i'm trying very hard to be here''

  • Wikipedia cannot be trusted...

  • why?

  • Im so excited ^_^

  • mi davey se ve hermoso y la cancion se ve que esta hermosa los amo

    saludos a AFI soy de mexico los esperamos aqui con el nuevo disco

  • they changed the release date to october 14th...it says on wikipedia due to a publishing error or something

  • AFI is wonderful. Plain and simple.

  • I love this video! And Im sure that everyone here will agree that his "Whoa" cannot be topped, if so please leave me a message and we'll see.

    -Blaqk

  • Sounds alright actually, reminds me of something older.

    Still singing like an emo though.

    All in all, i'm not going to complain. I mean, all I have to go on is a clip of Medicate and this so far, and both sound more promising than anything on DU

  • I melted. I seriously melted, particularly at the final "Woah".

    I don't care what any body else thinks about AFI. Seriously, I'm passed all that. I have loved them for ever and I will continue to love them for ever.

    And now I'm going to play the video again.

  • looks like they're back to the "whoa"'s! <3

  • yesssssssssssss

    about time, the first thing i want to hear is a go or a whoa

  • Davey looks so good with his hair like that

  • his voice is so amazing. D:

  • Awesome!

  • I just wish everyone could get along on these comment boxes....I dont see whats wrong with liking a bands work, if they put effort into it and it means something to them. Personally I have liked ALL of AFIs albums as I have a number of other bands that have changed over the years, change is neccessary so things dont become boring...

  • Thank you SO much for posting this.

  • I know most of you are hardcore AFI fans, as am I, but they have changed and mostly for the best, but you have to admit; this album is not a change for the best. They lost their balls after the All Hallows EP and Davey is just abusing his pipes. They started selling out after December Underground.

  • theyre not sellouts

  • i cantt waitttttttt omggg

  • Flash Flash Car Crash!!

    Gah!~So catchy

    ~~Eagerly waiting for their upcoming album~~

  • Seems very Blaqk Audio-esque

  • "Change is INEVITABLE, Growth is Optional." AFI has never ceased Growing, evolving. Change is a good thing.

  • Okay...to all of the elitists who dont think they should have ever changed. I own every album AFI has ever released, I know my stuff. And i have eagerly anticipated and been pleasantly surprised by every change that they made. Just because half of you are stuck in the 90s with the old AFI doesnt mean they have to be. If you like they're old music more i understand that. But calling them sellouts because they dont produce the music that YOU like anymore is shalow and selfish. Grow up. AFI did.

  • damn right! AFI has never made an album that hasn't thoroughly impressed me, i love each and every album they have released and eagerly await the next one. GO AFI!!!

  • I love you. *claps*

  • I agree with you on the fact that they did grow up. If you listen to every afi album. Its in my opinion a different band almost every time. so calling a band who like to play around with their sound a sellout is stupid. Im interested on how the new album will sound.

  • Those vocals are signature Davey Havok. Can't wait for the album.

  • I like this...change is a good thing, particularly within the music industry. Without change bands stagnate and die.

  • Anyone else notice all their heads bob exactly the same way when they sing? It's funny

  • jaja this is kinnda funny right? (x who cares what everyone in here is saying, at the end these postingo font affect afi from releasing crash love and wont stop them from what they are dping, im a fan from the hxc punk years, like mayby most of you but if you like a band respect it, and besides, hxc or rock, its still good, live with it (:

  • Wow, the people that have posted comments on the video have absolutely no idea about what AFI is about.

    Stop commenting, your making yourselves sound stupid.

  • Why is Jade all the way in the back hmm... But besides that cant wait to here it

  • I love reading the comments on the last two pages. kids...

  • Woo. Can't wait for this album to come out.

    Oh and all you people fighting in the comment section. If you don't like AFI don't put other people down because they do. Just because they don't like what you like doesn't make them stupid or gay. Go get a hobby instead of picking on people.

  • If thats what you call a fan then i guess so...for purpose of conversation, whos penises do you suck?

  • You guys can make fun of me as much as you want but I AM right, and I don't care what you think about me. Have fun flaming! ^_^

  • SEE?! THIS is why I am tired of dealing with other AFI fans.. humans are so fucking stupid at times I just cant deal with it..

  • "'xKidXHavokx', be quiet please, you're irritating all the AFI fans who aren't still going through puberty" - hahaha. yes i agree completely. he needs to chill. anyways i really hope this album is a combination of all previous works. i loved the punk and screams of STS, but also the electronic and "poppier" songs on DU. its all good i just hope they really make something awesome, but knowing AFI they surely will.

  • what's wrong with xkidXhavokx??

    ...anyway...i'm excited...i hope the new album will be as good as sing the sorrow or black sails in the sunset (those are the best for me xD...even better than december underground)

  • Whats wrong with me? stupid people that whats wrong.. I am tired of dealing with morons who dont know shit about music OR AFI.. (and NO I am NOT talking about you)

  • I feel so much better!!!

    I really miss Afi,and now they come back...Davey you´re...amo a Afi...gracias por existir.

  • Fuck, I thought I could have faith in AFI fans but I guess I was wrong. I have no hope left,damn people you need get your heads out of your asses and just love your band without criticizing them. what right do we have to critic them? NONE. because more then half of you don't know a damn thing about music. I used say, "through our bleeding we are one".. but now I think "They said it hurt their eyes but he would never know that they were filled with regret as their own dissipated."

  • 'xKidXHavokx', be quiet please, you're irritating all the AFI fans who aren't still going through puberty.

    I would bet money, that if you follow my advice, and change your name to something less cliché, fewer people will make fun of you. :)

    And if I'm wrong about your age, then I truly feel sorry for you. :(

  • Yes, you are wrong about my age.. and I don't consider it "cliche" I look up to Davey, I aspire to be like him in a musical sense AND as a person (not completely but he is my role model) so STFU! jeez.. see.. YOU TWO are just like everyone else.. >.>

  • Okay considering your profile name is devoted to one of their newest songs...that makes you a hypocrite. And also, name me two AFI albums, other than the first two, that sound similar. There arent two, theyve been changing since they began. If they were to remain the same only because there fans werent open minded enought to embrace the change with them then that would be selling out. None of them have emo hair styles anymore and Davey's been straight edge since he was 15.

  • Oh, shut the hell up. Really, they're not sell outs. They chose to have a different sound and you can't stop a band from changing and expanding their music. It's idiotic to completely think they'd keep the same sound for more than a decade.

    As well, dude - it's a fashion choice and Davey's been straight edge for along time. And why can't a person be straight edge? Just because they don't believe in drug use doesn't make them any less of a good band.

  • yeah seriously i could understand if your username was from an old song, but the people who think afi are sellouts think decemberunderground is sellout, i think u should change your username to something more appropiate, like dumbass

  • Umm, AFIxKillingxLights , you DO realize that Davey has had an "emo hairstyle" since before the term was prominent, yes? You do also know that Dave has been wearing makeup for years, right? And his pants surely can't be any tighter than those pleather pants he wore ten years ago, right?

    You do ALSO know that his views and standpoints are just the same now as fourteen years ago when they released their first album.

    So I suppose my question is.....Are you fucking stupid? There is no change there.

  • thank you. davey if anything has become less extreme than he use to be during the Art of Drowning/Sing the Sorrow stage. those pants were ridiculous

  • Oh, and using the world "GAY" as an insult is really ignorant and very rude. Oh, gosh and you're 14, as well? This makes me lose faith in my generation so much.

  • Can everyone please just cool it? This is fucking stupid. You need to learn to respect the band that is PART OF YOUR USERNAME. You make me sick. And, xKidXHavokx, please stop being so defensive! Geez...can't we all get along? And back to you. If you hate this band so much, GET THE FUCK OFF OF THEIR VIDEOS. Ahem. Pardon my French.

  • fuck u!

  • Wow. I'm really scared now. You just can't think of anything because every single word I said was true.

  • xkidXhavokx. YOU dont know a damn thing about afi. Everyone, including AFI, said they were punk. So do ur research before u say anything about anyone. fucking cunt. )=[

  • I HAVE DONE MY RESEARCH YOU DIPSHIT. AFI has NEVER said they were EVER punk! IDIOT! they MAY have said there earlier sound had a little punkishness to it BUT they have ALWAYS said it was HARDCORE. >.>

    And I know more about AFI then you, moron.

  • you dumbass hardcore is punk.

    if you were like 6 years older you were know, or got your ass outta hot topic

    go die.

  • damn dude turn off your caps lock. did u forget 2 put on ur tampon or something???

  • Hun, if you don't know what a tampon is, don't talk about it.

  • what the hell are you yapping about kid.

    shut up telling us we have no right to criticise something, what happened to freedom of speech, "just love your band" you sound silly.

  • Yes, freedom of speech is a good thing BUT maybe sometimes it shouldn't be used by fucking morons who just want to get people flaming on the internet. And HOW THE FUCK IS THAT SILLY?! jeez you are just like everyone else then.. >.>

  • Yeah man AFI called either AOD or STS punk i dont remember which one but im pretty sure it was AOD. So yeah they were, and considered themselves, punk at a time.

  • they were a punk band back in the day, regardless if they said it in the past years or not.

    i dont think anyone really gives a shit tho.

    as long as this one is a heavier rock album, then il be happy.

  • why are you so aggravated, get off this video and do something more useful with your time instead of telling off a bunch of strangers, do you think you're better than us? how am i like everyone else? your point was about AFI, i never mentioned AFI so how am i like the other people commenting on this video? stop putting caps on, it doesn't make you sound smarter or more right. "just love your band" sounds silly, because you're telling us what to do. and why? carry on putting your thumb down, ha!

  • idk you guys aren't being as nice to DU as the rest

    i agree its much..different...than the other ones. even when people said they were straying from punk with Sing the Sorrow (which they should fucking eat shit for because STS was heavenly good)

    BUt it's still good in its on way. It did feel like it was missing something though. Like it told a story but something didn't "end" it

    if anything. NO one can say Love Like Winter , Summer Shudder, and the interview weren't ILL with lyrics and guitar

  • Well those people ARE morons because AFI WAS NEVER PUNK. ask them THEY will even say so.. HARCORE ok? damn. HUGE diff. I think that was the purpose of D.U. that it WAS very personal to Davey and it wasn't supposed to "end" because Davey's life hasn't ended. its like letting us in on a little chapter of his life. if anything was and ending I think Endlessly she said fit the part if you truly understand the lyrics. which MOST people dont because....

  • they cant understand anything that isnt completely "in front of there eyes" if you don't get what I mean by that then you are most likely one of those people... I have VERY high expectations for "Crash Love" and NO YOU MORONS its NOT going to sound like STS and if it did it would take away SO much from STS. and I LOVE STS, trying to mimic it would be horrid. Crash Love I am expecting more of a harder rock sound. And also very little screaming which IS GOOD Dave's voice NEEDS a break. >.>

  • I think You'll find that AFI themselves have described their earlier stuff as punk.

    It was pretty much the link between punk and hardcore music and ever since they've been progressing but have always said they want to stay true to their punk roots.

  • I wish Davey could marry me lol and Im a dude. I hope this album is like the art of drowning or black sails I FUCKING HATED decemeberunderground.

  • I loooove the hair davey!! :P and i am fricken pumped!!

  • ...................... what the fuck was That...

  • Dude... I know. wtf
