AFI-The Despair Factor

One of the first vids I ever made. I hate to say it, but its one of "those" vids that are pieced together from other vids. It was done in early 2003 and in response to the whole Iraq war and nuclear weapons "scare." Enjoy the primitiveness

WTF HAPPENED TO AFI..

[dracx619]

they lost their fire....lost their identity...they lost plenty else

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@dracx619 and great job on the video

[dracx619]

@Marsdevilsvolta..thanks for the compliment. i did grow and change plenty btw . what i see in afi now that i never saw before was a smug and arrogant vibe. i always saw it in jade but to me it seems like it spread to davey and hunter. adam still seems grounded though. the way i knew i grew out of liking this band (aside from the change in attitude) was the simple fact that i grew tired of crash love in less than a month. all their other albums i would listen to non-stop for months on end.

[dracx619]

that and the completely uninspired video for their first single and overall weak lyrics in comparison to many songs of the past, i pretty much checked out of afi land. i wont be back until the next album to see if they captured some of their essence back.

This is exactly why i love AFI.

They put so put emotion into their songs. This one has so much into mostly during the last minute and 30 seconds

i wish i could find another band who does that.

thats my favorite part, i just thought id share that.

@ianiswhitetrash73 Yeah, I love how he got it from Lydia (Winona Ryder) in BeetleJuice

[MrFrenzyboy]

@killmore187772 if I could get my band together, we could do it

[Marsdevilsvolta]

@dracx619 or grew up, u will too someday.....................

and if any band still has an identity after making it "big" its them.
