AFI- 7 Nation Army

[AFIROXBIGTIME]

Good cover!

[MsPDizzzle]

I was at this show!!! Front of crowd baby!! awesome show!

[hibakito]

Daaaammmnnnnn Jade!!!! This is amazing! He killed the solo :D

[underdogg3224]

great cover by a great band of a great song

[underdogg3224]

great cover by a great band of a great band

[Abercrombieand1Bitch]

I don't really like the White Stripes, but AFI did a good cover,

[mentalguy316]

Is there a studio Version? :3

[Abercrombieand1Bitch]

@mentalguy316 No

[gangstazombiekilla]

I'm proud that I played this at a talent show. This video actually inspired me to think of it.

[OfficialAtramental]

@gangstazombiekilla you probably played the drums :P

[gangstazombiekilla]

@OfficialAtramental Actually, I played bass :P But close enough, I guess!

[CondemnedPatriot]

this is way better than audioslaves cover, and im a HUGE grunge fan

[RoseThorn]

Interesting. I love both of these bands, and b/c The White Stripes have heavy distortion on their guitar line it was interesting to hear this covered by a band with a much less minimalistic/garage style. Thanks for posting!

Although you should have kept recording- sounds like Dancing Through Sunday was next! That's one of my very favorite AFI songs! :D

[LOVETHEVIRGO]

wow they suck live

[13walklikeazombie]

did that guy just say "jack black"

*shakes head*

[13walklikeazombie]

did that guy just say "jack black" *shakes head*

[0twistedfarie0]

I absolutely love this cover as well as the original by The White Stripes.

AFI and The White Stripes are two of my favorite bands. <3

[Gendo3s2k]

lol, no. The White Stripe's Live version of this song totally sucks, and that's because Jack Black refuses to get a bassist, so I'll say yes, this live cover is better than the original live

[familyrsp]

@Gendo3s2k ...............Unbelievable.

[assssin3]

Can't stop listening! Thankyou so much!

[hoober1990]

dudes, why would someone cover a song and make it sound exactly like the real one? that would be stupid!

they cover the song and put their touch on it.

[plou0018]

Great job covering the song (hard to fuck up, though) but damn that voice is nasty whiny.

[joshygin]

Is it me or has someone spiked Jades drink, when he isn't playing he was spinning in circles

[thehumanbirdie]

Hunter got to shine =D

[A2Z83]

I don't think a dude's voice is hot but Davey's is less annoying than Jack White's attempt at singing.

[1MizzHell3]

I was totally there in the mosh pit! AmaZazing show! Such a huge fan and I love this song..

[SingTheSorrowx37]

SInce this song has a cool bass line, It's perfect for AFI to play. Hunter is such an exceptional bass player. and at 1:35, Jade is SO amazing at guitar. Davey's voice has such a great range. And Adam, his drum playing is magnificent.

[MrTyninja]

@SingTheSorrowx37

you make it sound like this is such a complex song, but in reality its pretty much the rock equivalent of playing chop sticks on the piano

[Jellegeed]

Being an AFI fan and an even greater White Stripes fan, I found this a bit half-ass. This isn't a song that AFI should have covered, it just isn't their style, unlike the cure, whom they also covered.

[camisadokiller666]

Coming from an epocally huge afi fan, this is pretty good, though it wasn't really their kind of song. It sounded like the original, but with a twist (and Davey's incredible vocals) and Hunter completely rocked this.

Thankyou so much for sharing.

[WintersAzure]

this must be a warm up song for them... such an easy song to play for such a talented band like AFI... hunter was probably really bored with this bass line lol

[screamsoftheundead1]

adam looks kinda angry... hes like, why cant meg whiter be a better drummer???

[goldphishez]

umm did i just see jade throw water at people??

[goldphishez]

i love the white stripes and i adore afi cant get any better than this!!!~

[SaintJ44]

the song is good. the original kicks ass. the cover is amazing. end of discussion. stop trolling.

[13619]

they totally shouldve done it like audioslave and added a little more creativity in it. like jade shouldve added a lead in the verses

[xGhostAvengedx]

WTF? This cover is really good! You said it's really easy to learn. If so, they should both sound the same, except Davey's voice is hotter than Jack White's. ;)

[GIBSONguitarsNC]

wow, i thought this song would die already. It's even less creative than green day songs. Same thing over and over. Blah, i cant listen to it

[bobokk]

"AFI said that they learned this song for another show they were going to do"

A two year old could play this song.

[xxvt98xx]

Stripes did that song so their versions will always be better!!!!

[XxgrayfoxXXX]

the stripes do it better

[klagge]

@XxgrayfoxXXX

Agree with you all the way.

[theblackestnight]

melbourne victory fans do it even better

[DaveyMK]

@XxgrayfoxXXX It's their songs, of course it's better.

[xXRockerGuyXx]

this cover sucks!

[gollum8328205]

whos the original artist?

[prozukinismugler]

Gollum, you're either trolling, or monumentally dumb.

The White Stripes.

[gollum8328205]

yeah im trolling no joke

[MyOtherUser2]

great song but why why why.... most of those kids probably didnt know this was a cover haha.

[xGhostAvengedx]

I'm an AFI fan and I resent that.

[canesrule96]

Who wouldn't know it's a cover?

It's not like when they cover filth, or circus tent

this is a popular song

and use the term kids lightly when you're talking bout an AFI show

there's kids everywhere, but I bet about half the audience are true afi fans who could be kids but most likely they're like 20-35

[fudgemonkeyz79]

I'm 15.

[InnerxDevil]

Wish theyd just stop, all the 13 y.o. girls are 20 and into rap now

[tapeboi321]

haha, cool!

[Valkoisen]

sux

[afi466]

wow my fav covering my old fav bands songs... just wow

[ttytim]

tudududu du du du. (L)

[Oreon89]

thats great!! haha

[youmustdye]

was this the show in sf? i was there lol

[Shanna9]

No, it was in Phoenix, AZ. Could have been the same tour though.

[youmustdye]

oh cool.... it was a good show tho.... december underground 06 right?

[rolewnik283]

@Shanna9 woot, Phoenix AZ right here...and i was there!

[gkh691]

Hunter definitely got to shine.

[WhammyBar9]

does every band want to cover this song!?!?!?!?!?!

[msflameboy]

Because it's one of the most "epic" songs ever.

Well, it's a great song. Simple but just amazing.

[Cameronlikesramen]

its one of those songs that people are gonna be covering forever like "Jhonny B Goode" and "Hurt"

[AliceInChainss1]

yes.

[velvet23revolver]

the white stripe (i mean jack white) is talented.

[sogrungey]

Lol Jade.

Hahah he was throwing his water to the crowd.

[morisssey]

How do you guys record videos in this good quality? My video clips have always distorted sound. I love AFI, even this cover song.

[Shanna9]

I used a regular older Kodak Easyshare camera and just got lucky that it takes good videos.

[billydumptruck]

Here's the deal Afi is the best there is. Plain and simple. Afi wakes up in the morning and piss excellence.

[maudeleon]

awesome!

[steviejustin]

Nice.

[y0uthqu4ke]

better than the original!

[MaylaMortis]

oh god no... I really love AFI but this song drives me nuts.. I think its because it got played everywhered non stop when it came out -_-.. but at least Hunter gets to take over a bit with the bass being such a huge part of this :p

[EvilBerrie]

There was no bass in the original version of the song.

[metalmulishafreak707]

in the version of 7 nation army by the white stripes ,the was a bass line

[EvilBerrie]

Nope it wasn't a bass, it was a guitar that sounded like one.

Believe me, White Stripes never had bass in their songs and probably never will.

[Buflic]

exactly...jack is so good he doesnt need a bass ^^

[chadewatson]

it wasnt a bassline by a bass,

but it was a bass line,

jack uses a guitar with the whammy pedal on to get the low bass type sound.

[metalmulishafreak707]

ahh ok well thank you i didnt know that

[Biddyfofish]

no there wasn't ''/ there is no bass in tws... jack white was using a guitar effect.

[64caloriesofawesome]

u place the side off ur palm by the bridge, and it gives teh strings a deeper sound.

[metalmulishafreak707]

ah cool shit thanks was wondering if it was a pedal or not

[lindseythelush]

I love this song! It's so sad that the white stripes are no longer together!

[Biddyfofish]

they are coming back nxt year :D

[JonnySchoey27]

i bet adam had fun with this on drums lol he can just do what he wants!! Such an easy song yet catchy, a work of art surely??

[AKnightWhoSaysNe]

Half decent.

[DatGuy3638]

They didn't learn this song for another show, they learnt it 5 minutes before coming on stage... :-P

[sk8erXforXlife1]

i love that they did this song because its a cover from white stripe and i like them both

[thecornholios]

wow does every band in history have a cover of this song?

[spyrogal]

Yes. Even Enya, The Beatles, and Mozart covered it. ;D

[metalheadedjc]

cuz its really easy to play

[xXGregPXx]

I was typeing fast cuz I was pissed at u haters, I'm disgraphic too, so SHUT THE HELL UP

[volimsir]

I love how they're making it look like badass playing, although it's pretty simple.

Fucking, bring back the old AFI, this one sucks...

[otonomaster]

they started playing dancing through sunday at the end

[radiobath]

Great recording. Not too shakey, and great audio quality, considering where you were and the fact it's a digital camera. All the stuff I've recorded at shows is terrible quality, it's sad.

[MuSiCaLcHiCk09]

haha we're playing this song for our band show :D

[Manyhavokdepp8]

is a good song

[10cmtet]

watch the version of audioslave. its much better especially the solo part of tom morrelo :D

[hannahlovesgutairs]

they both play this song greatly no 2 bands ever have the same sound EVER they just put their own afi flair on it

[basvanhout1]

TWS made this song beter. but afi is still tha shit.

[xXGregPXx]

This is just like when everyone bagged on them for their Nine inch nails cover, rezner's voices is just different, and if you wrote the song doesn't mean you play it the best, dipshit who can't type white stripes correctly (foxeylady64)

[npcreviews]

Says the kid who can't spell 'Reznor.' (xxgregpxx)

[trendkillWLM]

i dont think its the worst cover, but jack white just has a different voice.

[foxeylady64]

No, fuck you because The Whie Stripes played it better than anyone else because IT'S THEIR FUCKING SONG! dumbass.

[mrbeccaboomm]

haha thank you!!! afi is bomb!!! =D

[Satochan123]

Jade is dancing around and Davey has a strange attraction to the drum riser. ha ha.

[thistimeiamperfect]

where does davey keep going? hahahah

[bobokk]

AFI are so gay now. No wonder Mark left

[SkyExplosion]

You're a dumbass he left forever ago and after he elft Art Of Drowning is one of the highly praised punk albums created.

[bobokk]

If AOD is a punk album, then I'm Michael Jackson

[SkyExplosion]

Hi Michael.

[SkyExplosion]

Art Of Drowning and Black Sails was horror punk.

Still punk.

[tonython2]

eh. i really dont think they were horror punk.

for something to be horror punk it has to have the horror element.

...which neither albums had.

those two albums, i've always considered to be goth punk.

because lyrically, it was gothic. introverted, poetic, etc. but it had the aggression of punk rock. obviously.

so i'd say goth punk.

they never sang about ghouls and zombies and stuff.

so i strongly disagree with the statement that they were horror punk.

[SkyExplosion]

I'm just saling what they were classified in with interviews magazines charts etc.

Davey was more Horror than the rest of AFI though singing abot some of those with Son Of Sam. Either way my point was those albums were punk.

[tonython2]

oh yeah they were punk.

black sails was more punk than aod though. i think the art of drowning is more alternative, but still definitely has obvious punk intertwined into it, whereas black sails is a lot more punk. it still had the same poetic lyrical quality but it was far more aggressive, making it punk.on a slightly different topic, i never got why so many people think sts was a sellout record. i think it was very chronological since aod was more alternative anyway. it made sense. thoughts?

[SkyExplosion]

Yeah i'll send you a p.m. since in comments you only type so much.

[punjabi4589kl]

r.i.p m8

[decmbrundrgrnd64]

Lmfao.

[BillKIstMeinEngel]

love afi and love the white stripes!!!

[sockcucker23]

omggg these sell outs suckk sooo bad!!!!

FUCK YOU COPYING RED JUMP SUIT APARATUS

CUTE IS WHAT WE AIM FOR 4 LIFE

[skullzavatar]

7 nation army is a white stripes song and audio slave afi and plenty of others have done this.

[remcomater28]

haha red jump suit aparatus thats a joke and Cute is what we aim for.....a bunch of emokids hahaha.

AFI is a real band and they also do some covers

[SkyExplosion]

Dumbass AFI has been around way longer than those two wannabe bands.

[renquist13]

wow, these 4 guys, suck worse than 1 guy and 1 girl that originally did it. i love the white stripes cuz theyre amazing, but AFI sucks fatty chode

[popatire23]

i agree completely, but you gotta give em props for at least trying to do a good version of this.

[skullzavatar]

have you ever heard white stripes live? they use a lot of synthesizers and editing in there Cd's...

[datexmuerto]

white strippers

[SuspectOfMurder]

Audioslave has the only good cover of this song.

[XXXGoneByTomorrow]

You might enjoy the Flaming Lips version live at Big Day. I thought it was in good taste.

[animegirl12182]

Enough with the "real fans" crap. I doubt the guys in AFI see it that way. We're all entitled to our opinions. If someone like December Underground the best, there's nothing wrong with it. An AFI fan is an AFI fan. Period.

[fresh098]

i agree, i dont like december underground, but there other stuff is good like answer that and stay fashionable, and so is sing the sorrow

[Blargashmargeh]

I find it funny how Davey goes backstage, and you can still see him.

[sandyxklaws]

why does everyone cover this song? hahaha

[bloodrain744]

because if u wanna become a musician its understood that this MUST be one of the first songs u learn. right next to smoke on the water

[promontorium]

"this MUST be one of the first songs u learn." - Ok, if you're 12 years old. AFI has been ripping it up since the early 90s. "7 Nation Army" didn't come out until 2003.

[bloodrain744]

yeah but still, its a classic. who wouldn't want to cover this song???

[sandyxklaws]

me. i can think of about a million other songs i'd rather cover than this.

[davidval88]

Then cover them and show everyone how talented you are.

[davidval88]

Because its a great song.

[sandyxklaws]

it really isnt though

[davidval88]

It really is, listen to the lyrics.....jack white is a great musician/writer.

And if it wasnt, why would so many great bands cover it?

[sandyxklaws]

because it's catchy. thats it.

[davidval88]

Audioslave, afi, a perfect circle, metallica, the flaming lips, joss stone.....the only reason all those great musicians covered it is because its catchy? I dont think so!

Plus that song was released 6 years ago thats a lot of really good bands to cover the same song in 6 years.

[AdamFameQuest]

They were better than audio slave did at covering this... The guitar was pretty well played. But they should stick to punk rock in my opinion. The white stripes did it the best

[missmurder1177]

wow! that's really awesome, I love hearing AFI doing covers it's cool to see their perspective

[LastRowRider]

very cool sound, 5 stars for you

[imjustakid22]

I think it sounds exactly the same just the guitar has more overdrive.... i like it

[normtheclone]

That is an illogical statement. I doubt a dead person could kill me. I also doubt someone could have live 200 years+ because they were probably at least 20 at the time. The boys who went missing are by now in their nineties, so they are vegetables if they are still alive. I'm quite sure I could handle a 200+ year old and two ninety year old veggis.

[atiti1995]

well r u very like scientificky?? or do u just stick to facts cause i mean what if they r ghosts and haunt u forever i think that is worst that dying

[matthewmeltface]

man i wish i was there!

[jjsm1978]

the white stripes number one

[jgrsoad]

imitaciones baratas

[ianiswhitetrash73]

lol, how come every video of afi has an argument in the comments about punk afi against new afi.

[Albedo1989]

Because AFI sold out

[thetruerater5]

lol dude, they didnt sell out. they changed there music style simply cause they were bored of writing the same music for 4 albums

[Glitterfaysss]

yeah man seriousley....as long as a band is playing music that they like- u cant say they sold out. totally with you on that one

[SkyExplosion]

Yeh no seems to understand after doing 3 Albums with the same sounding material it gets boring and they wanted to try something diffrent but they still do songs like the oldstyle and new.

Sing The Sorrow and Decemberunderground are softer but still great. AFI doesn't want to be a band that has the same exact sound for the entire time they have been around if they did that it would be boring and get old quick.

[vincentthellama]

it more like there music is evolving cause its still punk like the first album just evolved

[VirgilwithanE]

I agree man, AFI's newer stuff totally pwned their old material! And anyone who calls them emos or sellouts are mainstream wannabes!

[murderdal]

whatch me there shit now there sellout emo shit it went down hill when the bassit left he was amazing listen to the old stuff it was just top noth hardcore punk now it shity emo the only reason they sell records is cos girls think davey and gay boi jade is fit

[sandyxklaws]

you're as ignorant as they come.

avenged sevenfold called, they want there ONE fan back.. go on boy

[sandyxklaws]

ok,FIRST OFF.. mainstrem wannabes? who the fuck would want that? as big as AFI is, they're STILL not all that mainstream, in comparison

second, to say that "December Underground" was better than "Black Sails" or "All's Hallow's" is fucking retarded.

this post might have been the dumbest shit ive ever read about this band

[VirgilwithanE]

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, and to search through comments just for something to bitch about is even more retarded, so go fuck yourself

[sandyxklaws]

who searched? what are you talking about?

all i was asking was why everyone covers this mediocre AT BEST song..

so eat shit, pal

[canesrule96]

someone said december underground was better than black sails and all hallows ep? cause any real afi fan would throw up at that comment

[sandyxklaws]

i knooooooooooow

[thebestatit1]

FUCK AFI

fags

[wildfire240]

fuck you asshole AFI is awsome like your mom was in bed your bed to be specific

[jaymosworld]

t his song doesnt suck enough ????

[Angloth]

ah, i liked the old AFI better,

[Saiyukisan]

I'm a huge AFI fan, but the should of left The White Stripes to Jack.

[Cheeseyqueso]

AFI's stage presence is pretty boring.

[exekution001]

me gusta mas con los hermanitos stripes

[BETDPN]

y is every one copying the white stripes

all of them suck at the version

WHITE STRIPES 4 EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fallingaway511]

"ruined a good song" shit is getting so annoying. so that's to say it was a good song, but you hear it again in a different version and its not anymore? come on fuckers. get real. grow up.
