AFI-Jack The Ripper

[MirthlessSmile79]

Damn Havok...Please show us some sign that you still produce testosterone...I mean at least Halford does..lol

[StardustKittenPlay]

Morrissey is the best! AFI suck! D:

[rapingwalrus]

Fuck this! I'm gonna write a "Jack the Ripper" that's not copywritten AND will sound like old AFI!

[rapingwalrus]

It just hit me that Havok looks like a feminine gay Morrissey. lol. But I still love him! <3

[cdelarosachavez721]

Pretty good Morrissey cover!!

[ashBVBley]

AFI DOES THIS SO GOOD BECAUSE DAVEY HAVOK THE VOICE FOR IT.

[joey4245]

This is a horror punk song

[Estrangethem]

Stupid. this s slaughter. it is a morrissey song OF COURSE and i cannot understand how it could be possible for anyone to make it THIS HORRIBLE. slaughter. and you're pretty sure oh yes so why don't you find out?

[haiguizeify]

Stupid homophobes

[Zana0130]

Yellow eyeshadow ftw

[MrSandmanx0]

I think Davey Havok is the only person in the world who should even attempt to cover a morrissey or cure song because both are awesome (:

[baclammert]

he has a gay face

[baclammert]

pretty gay faces

[ebMagnum]

Really though...the eyelashes sicken me...just sayin

[TheAmericanFrenchman]

@ebMagnum he's gay, suck it up, AFI are still a great band

[ebMagnum]

@TheAmericanFrenchman If I cared whether he was gay or not, I wouldn't have supported them for this long.

[KaylaKrayon]

0:35....godly

[nzhappytime]

this is way better than MCR there version is shit but both will never beat morrissey

[MrToddThomas]

Who cares, quit talking about who's "emo" shut up.

All music music is "emo" or it is shitty, if you dont put emotion into something it wont touch people, all tehy clearly have tons of emotion and passion for what they do. Its not a genere. Shut up, who cares anyway.

[Pakojerte323]

No offense and it's honestly an honest question but is AFI emo?

Im sorry i listen to punk and they covered an Misfit song so i checked them out

they sounds okay but was just wondering

[justbeaduck]

@Pakojerte323 i find all those music genres confusing as hell lol

[IDidItSidsWay]

@Pakojerte323 i was thinking the same thing for the same reason LOL

[juicyfruity182]

@Pakojerte323 Nah AFI isnt emo. Like their early stuff was punk now their like alternative rock well thats what i think they are its confusing.

[TastiusBurger]

@Pakojerte323

AFI has gone through several musical changes over the years punk > goth rock > alt rock, but I wouldn't put them in the Emo genre. Real emo bands are Jimmy Eat World, and perhaps We Were Promised Jetpacks. People tie all emo bands to guys that paint their nails and scream which is technically incorrect. Thats more of the scene they come from rather than the music they play.

[haiguizeify]

@TastiusBurger Jimmy Eat World is emo? Uh...okay...

I'm not even gonna bother arguing.

[Takemehigherrr]

Awesome photos :D

[robbieonguitar]

How fucking godlike is Morrissey.

Absolutely brilliant.

[clizzleable]

@robbieonguitar not if youve seen his stool....;)

[SummerShudder1120]

This cover is love<3

[citylights337]

This epic take on the original eclipses it...Morrisey's laid the groundwork; AFI solidified it. As much as I love MCR, they destroyed it.

[EnragedClementine]

I hate AFI

[GrapeVine921]

@EnragedClementine

why?

[SummerShudder1120]

@EnragedClementine They don't like you either.

[Necromancerfreak666]

um ppl jack the ripper was also written by MCR afi covered it i kinda like MCRs version this one is a bit slow for me but still i love AFI

[MikeCRoch]

@Necromancerfreak666 This is so far from the truth... Morrissey wrote the song and that is a well known fact. If by some odd chance mcr wrote it then why wouldn't they have a studio version?

[UndeadInk]

@Necromancerfreak666 yeahhhhh, morrissey wrote it. sorry kiddo.

[camisadokiller666]

@whity666

Jealous much?

AFI fucking rocks! This cover is amazing.

[whity666]

Good song, but this dude looks like a drag queen gone bad or some shit like that

[stillnobodysnothing]

i stil get chills when morrissey sings it this version is meeh

[xoAkatlynAxo]

i dont like this cover . Dx

[ashleeAFI]

i've never heard this song before. i love it.

[elcarlos80]

this song is really expensive from rhapsody dang!!

[SsprokK]

winner

[xXSekiRayXx]

if u don't like the song or w/e, then y r u guys leaving fucked comments? what does it really prove? nothing. just that ur an idiot who has no taste in music.

AFI RUNS THIS BITCH!!!!!

XD

[bobokk]

What does it prove by saying you like the song? It's just as pointless.

[MichaRG10]

this song sucks!!!

[ct4boro]

the song dont suck its jst a shite cover...same as the MCR one thats worst....check out the morrissey you cant beat it !!

[Crf250rification]

the mcr one is rubbish :/

but this one is good :)

[Valleriana123]

Comparing to Mcr's version Afi seems so nice to listen to. It aint crappy at all. But Morrissey is the best of all above.

[ALOUBIN]

@Valleriana123 1. morrissey version is the best one

2. then My Chemical Romanc3

3. This one sucks

[gollum8328205]

mcr sucks black dick always will.

[darthsatanikus]

thanks guys..for fucking up a great song

[AFIRJOo]

how is it shit this song is awesome

[sdsuedehead]

This version is shit

[TheSceneKidz90]

afi version of this song sound similar to morrissey. mcr version give this song a different approach which not many people like. i like the mcr version more in my opinion xP

[robbieonguitar]

VIVA MORRISSEY !!

[MrDreamer]

Morrissey sings this WAYYYYY Better! Viva MOZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mongoose100989]

why did he write this song?

Hes not even irish or english even.

hes just an italian from new york. lol.

[afixlifexlove]

He didn't write it, doll.

It's a Morrissey cover.

[mongoose100989]

he sang it because jack the ripper was raised in rochestor new york and so was he.

[rellickZ]

Wtf are talking about? Jack The Ripper has never been identified and therefore no one can know where he was born... But it probably wasn't in the US since the murders happened in the proximity of Whitechapel, London..

[mongoose100989]

I meant Francis Tumblety, the #1 suspect, not "Jack the ripper" per se.

Francis Tumblety was born in ireland but he was raised in rochestor new york, like davey.

thats one of the reasons I figure he sang the song besides just his interest in morrisey.

[rellickZ]

Well, maybe you should've written Francis Tumblety, not Jack The Ripper then... You can't just say that because he was the main suspect he was Jack The Ripper...

And you're wrong... There was an arrest order for him in England for being a homosexual and when he fled for the states it was a US newspaper that wrongly connected the arrest order for him with the Whitechapel murders...

[mongoose100989]

im talking about collaborative investigation done recently on a show i saw.

not that shit you learned in high school in 1995. lol.

[rellickZ]

Uhh, a collaborative investigation done on "a show" :D You're proud of your sources, huh?

lol, I was 7 years old in 1995...

[mongoose100989]

obey

[bjjplyr1]

@afixlifexlove and "doll" its not a morrissey cover, its The Horrors who originally sang it...

[alexanderguderian]

@bjjplyr1  wrong. Moz wrote it. The Horrors happen to have a song with the same name.

[goldphishez]

@bjjplyr1 no? they had a song called jack the ripper but its different. Morrisy has a completly different song that also happens to be called jack the ripper...im pretty sure of it...

[BlackShepard459]

@afixlifexlove And the Decemberists do it better.

[JakersTheSquirrel]

does anybody know what album this was on?

or was it just a single?

i'm not sure. :\

[coldwinter08]

it was from the december underground sessions but was off the single for miss murder as a bonus track

[NICKy1038ausc]

@coldwinter08

Some untruly, it's from Love Like Winter single :D

[myersvids]

i like mcrs cover better

but afi is much closer to Morrisseys orginal

but there all good to me :D

[EcceCorMeum2009]

I like MCR more in general, but I actually like this cover much more.

[AFIForever1]

actually you're both right

XXAnimalisticXX &

DangerDrVenture they changed it 2 or 3 times until they came to a fire inside wich they liked most and stuck with it

[steviejustin]

They would've stuck with Anthems For Insubordinates but a website or some shit like that claimed it was theirs so the guys just let them have it, at least that is the most common explanation I've heard.

[superman12211331]

actually, they used Anthems for Insubordinates as some sort of production thing on the first 2 or 3 albums.The name was almost always A Fire Inside. I saw an old interview with Davey and he was talking about it.

[steviejustin]

Oh, my bad, just what I heard. Link me the vid if you get the chance though.

[superman12211331]

I'll do my best to find it for ya bro. It's kind of hard to find though. I think it's "Davey Havok on old punk show" or something like that. It's one of the oldies though.

[tinkyw67]

Good, but not as good as the original.

[chiquisbaby81]

It's alright but it will never compare to the great Morrissey's OG version.

[IdioticBrainstorm]

Err.. AFI.. Funny name.. For me atleast.. Means grandfather in Icelandic :P

[diehard2k5]

it stands for "A Fire Inside", idiot(ic brainstorm)

[IdioticBrainstorm]

Whaaauw.. Sorry for not knowing the name of a band which I couldn't care less about.. And nice exploiting my name to.. Yipp Ee Ki Yay motherfucker.

[XXAnimalisticXX]

It origionally stood for "Asking For it" but they changed their name when they changed their music

[DangerDrVenture]

Actually, it was originally "Anthems for Insubordinates". It didn't become "A Fire Inside" until 1997.

[superman12211331]

It means A Fire Inside, you stupid tool.

[Pillowzchan]

i think they could have done a lot better :/

AFI I am disappoint

[sickiedickie1280]

havoc reminds me of a feminine danzig.

but hes still one of my favorites.

[babyshaker90210]

Before he sold out he was cooler.

[sickiedickie1280]

yeah. Before they even got big like pre-jade era he was really down to earth.

I understand their musical expansion but some video clips i seen just made me go wtf? like the one of them doing a media interview in mexico and hes all dressed up like a little girl. I dont get it.

[DangerDrVenture]

Yeah, punk rock definitely means you dress in a specific style that the subculture defines and you never stray from it.

It's a good thing Davey outgrew that shit by embracing what it really means.

[blissfullydead89]

Yeah, because when you stop recording 7 inches in your friends garage and learn to expand your vocal range you're a sell out.

[babyshaker90210]

Cause going from sounding like punk to screamo/emo music is really really not trendy at all, and really a great expansion on your vocals

[blissfullydead89]

Yeah, cause all music with any emotion is totally not for the punx.

Oi to the punx and oi to your mother!

[babyshaker90210]

I don't mean emo like the Cure and shit, I mean like stupid emo shit like I just got a B on my paper and my mom yelled at me for not letting the dog out, and I'm going to cut my wrists now

[blissfullydead89]

You're ignorant....

arguing with you is like arguing with a fish

[ariftarockas]

Freedy Mercury was the only gay member of Queen.... usually it's better to know what your talking about buddy

[rmaxtpmx]

man i miss the old days. when afi was a badass punk band. heavily influenced by the misfits, but still pretty original...now it just sounds like he's crying in every song. oh well

[afirokker]

AFI forever!!!!!!!

:]]

[Mcoranges]

amen2u.. You sure do talk alot about cock sucking and fags. I think you may just be afraid to leave the closet.

[amen2u]

Sounds like 'Mcoranges' like reading my comments that I send other fags in here. So fuck off McFag

[flawlessoffy]

just the singer was gay.. stfu you don't know what you are talking about

[vyxsin64]

i didnt like the mcr cover because he didnt really sing it the way that went with the song if you know what i mean but it was fast, i liked that. i didnt like this cover cause it was real slow but i think he sang it really well

[cheatboy00]

Not my favourite cover of the song, but not as horrible as a lot of people say.

[MyProNoob]

amen2u??

all 2words u use FUCKING xD

are you a kid? xD

[Uchihasharingan43]

Yeah amen2u is a little fucking pussy who doesn't know what REAL thugs would do to him,...especially in a place like Chicago where Al Capone's men massacred a shit load of people on Valentine's Day night................

[amen2u]

I am from Chicago, you fucking dumb illiterate piece of shit...read the fucking comments before you fucking make stupid fucking comments....you homo!!! If you like this fucking crap you must be a fucking fag!!! So FUCK YOU!!!!

[tripleccc1111]

[tripleccc1111]

[amen2u]

I checked out this video because I like the song "Jack The Ripper" by Morrissey. I was hoping this cover would sound decent. Unfortunately, It's crap. Therefor, I voiced my opinion which was and is Brutal.

[Ace4D]

how old are you....

[amen2u]

20. How old are you??

[Culumacilinte]

How about you two keep your pointless argument elsewhere, and try finding a few other insults to use, hmm? A) You're being an offensive twat, and B) the constant repetition of gay slurs doesn't make you seem terribly intelligent. Just a pointer.

[xMsMonicaHavokx]

uhh who are you talking to?

[decmbrundrgrnd64]

The whole Black Sails CD is amazing, and Art Of Drowning. You know, old AFI. Lol. I do like Decemberunderground and SIng The Sorrow. I made this name when I first heard of the band after Decemberunderground came out.

[SurpentineSacrifice]

Black sails is fairly new, old would be in the days of Answer that and stay fashionable, if you havent listened to Answer that and stay fashionable, Very Proud of Ya, and Shut your mouth and open your eyes, listen to those CDs soon, they are so differant from their current style, it will shock you.

[decmbrundrgrnd64]

I'll definitely do that. Thanks.

[14elly]

i heard the mcr version (and really liked it) and wanted to hear this version because everyone was bitching that this version was better. but i think that i prefer mcr's version. the speed and the way they did it reminds me more of a murderer and jack the ripper. this version reminds me of a lovesong. its good though, i'd continue listening to it.

[TheradiomanofYT]

MORRISSEY!!! This is better than the Killers cover of "why don't you find out for yourself." i don't like the killers, but i like morrissey and that cover is really good. i listen to more stuff like AFI, old and new

[lovepeacefull]

i love this song i wunder what the music vitow looks like :)

[laurenatalie]

sweet

[superman12211331]

You know what's sad? If you ask a modern AFI fan what the first AFI album was, they'll say "Uhh... Sing the Sorrow, right?" They have NO clue about the old stff. I mean, the new stuff is great, but the old AFI was just as ood, if not better, and people should know that stuff before they call themselves "fans"

[kenzer24213]

totally agree.

[joetrower]

But that is such a generalisation of new fans, I've known AFI for a long time, but I know alot of new fans who have started listening with the very early albums, I think we have to look at the fact that AFI is getting new fans and getting so so big and this will help them to tour more/make more music, and we should be happy with that

[orlando1723]

nah i disagree, the first afi album i had was decemberunderground and before that i had never even heard of them. then i checked out their earlier stuff and i was like, man this is fucking awesome! so not necessarily all the fans have just heard the new stuff :)

[superman12211331]

I'm not saying ALL of them, but for alot of them it's true. The first one I got was sing the sorrow. I just find the one's that don't even know abbout the old stuff but still consider themselves diehard AFI fans annoying.

[orlando1723]

okay well that is true

[decmbrundrgrnd64]

I was the exact same way. Now that I've heard their earlier stuff I love them even more. :D

[gollum8328205]

thats totally true i have every single one of their albums including the first 2 eps which are fucking amazing

[TheArtofDrowning1991]

I know rite, their is sooo many pposers and it really pisses me off. Just last week i asked this girl i know if she likes old AFI and she says "you mean like Miss Murder" I walked away in disapointment.

[superman12211331]

Yeah, I was talking to this one girl about Blaqk Audio (which I loved) and she was like "I didn't like that. I was more into the older stuff. Like decemberunderground" and I was like "Umm... that came out last year (at the time that time was accurate).

[TheArtofDrowning1991]

uuurrrggg! ppl like that really annoy me.

[Contraceptive]

Yeah. I think "Miss Murder" is the bane of the dedicated fans, which isn't to say that they think the song is of poor quality.

We're all just sick of saying, "AFI is my favorite band" and hearing "I LOVE 'MISS MURDER'!!!!!11!!!@!1!".

First person who says, like, "Of Greetings and Goodbyes", I'll makeout with.

[Contraceptive]

You probably could've kept that to yourself.

We're all judging you now. Good job.

[DaveyMK]

I started listenin' to them when i heard the cover of Halloween from Mistfits.

But w/e, that's not Miss Murder tho.

Old good AFI all the way.

[Crazymorbid]

ok i think this song. im not a fan of morrissey but i like this cover

[KEVXEDGE]

haha fioew, i thought it was me. anyways, have a great day over there.

[KEVXEDGE]

I love AFI but love MORRISSEY way more. Anyway AFI you did a great job.... I HATE that MCR cover...
