Who here liks them? Well I do. They are definatly in top 5. I like all of the CD's alot. I like they older true punk stuff better but all of it is good. I especially like Answer that and Stay fashinable.

Well, I think they did a hell of a cover of Halloween by the Misfits, but I haven't really heard anything else by them (that I was aware of.) Recommend a good album to start with?

Jedinator
07-12-2005, 07:52 PM
Well that alll depends on what you like. If you like true punk better than get answer that and stay fashonable or Very proud of ya, if you like other kindof stuff, still punk, but nt as punkish, get sing the sorrow, its pretty cool. Best song on thier is dancing through sunday, I have a shirt of it it say "we dance in misery" its pretty cool.

other good albums are: The art of drowning, and Black sail in the setting sun. They also have a greatest hits out I think, its just called afi.

ps Im listening to them right now on my comp.

I hate you jedinator. I officially hate you more than anything in the world. I did this thread roughly a couple of months ago.

But once again, here we go. I like the art of drowning. It is one of the few cds that i jack of the volume in my truck to listen to. Davie Havoc has had multiple voice problems and their site has not been updated in over a year. I dont think they will ever release a new album again. Dont count on it. Davie put himself in this situation. There were very few songs that he actually sang with a lower pitched voice. Most of his songs he sang with a very high pitch to it. Thats what got him. When he talks he has a very deep voice, deeper than most people. But putting that kind of pressure on his vocals cost him. He had to see doctors and ended up stop touring for the longest time. Their website has not been updated in over a year. Ticketmaster doesn't have any tickets on sale for them.

Unfortunately, my all time favorite band..... now gone.

Well man Im sorry. That was probably when I wasnt on very much. Anyways one of my all time favorite bands is now... gone. GOD DAMMIT!!!!! MY SISTER GOT TO SEE THEM AT WARPED AND I DONT!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE DOESNT LIKE THEM THAT MUCH!!!!!! ILL KILL HER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im gonna go cry now...

afi's stuff on their CD's are ok, but the songs they put out as singles are a little too whiny for me. the gy's voice is very nasal when he gets up to those high notes, and it's annoying. it's also why i don't like NFG. their main singer is too nasal as well.

give me deftones any day :)

Whose MySpace? Link plz.

And I'm assuming 'Rabbits Are Roadkill' is the name of the new single? More info plz.

Jedinator
10-26-2005, 05:29 PM
Ok. Rabits are Roadkill is the new single. If you want to hear its awesomeness then go to myspace.com theres a little bar that has a bunch of different things in it but you need to click music. Go to the search thing and put search by band and put the catagory as punk. Type it exactly like this AFI and if that does not work than try a fire in side or afi. Anyways it will be about 3 or 4 things down in the list. Jake if you can give him a link that would be cool.

every since my sister lent me one of
their cd's i have found a deep hatred in my soul
for all things emo. Oh, and remember kids its down the road not
across the street.

You two are both crazy people. The new song is amazing and AFI is amazing. Well I guess its you're opinions and thats cool with me but whatever.

Obviously you havent heard their first two records. And no they arent emo. When do they ever talk about O my girlfriend dumped me woohoo. Theyre rock, plain and simple.

Rabbits are Roadkill was supposed to be on Sing the Sorrow but it was unreleased, but yea theyre recording right now.

I believe there more along the lines of punk/rock (more so punk than rock) but whatever, its all in the eye of the beholder.

*grumbles* Somehow I've managed to lose BOTH of the AFI albums I own, and only those two. Either its a sign or I'm just really irresponsible with my things. And I've had that 'Silver and Cold' song stuck in my head for days....

Jedinator
11-03-2005, 04:51 PM
That sucks. And yeah they are not emo. Thier main theme is freindship in all of their lyrics. Also if you have not heard their first 2 albums then you should. Its a completely different style and thats what I want my band to sound like.

I haven't looked too deeply into their lyrics, I know enough to know they definatly ARE NOT emo, but I didn't realize they were about friendship... hmmm thats really cool! n_n

There early stuff was good and harder (if I can remember right) I haven't heard they're early stuff for a while (Snowboarding hasn't started yet, so that means less riding in the car with my older brother... who likes AFI too :p ) but if my recolection serves me correctly, they were good (really almost anything they dish is good!)

Sing the Sorrow is a good CD... idk sorry that was kind of random... yeah its late, i need to go to bed >.> *goes and listens to STS before bed*

Bumped.

So, who's heard the upcoming new single 'Miss Murder', then? It's brilliant and makes me even more certain that AFI don't deserve to be written off as "another emo band" - there's genuine greatness in their later stuff and it shouldn't be looked down on because their lyrics are "dark" or whatever. It's a very good song, and that's all that matters to me. The new album, which is called Decemberunderground is out on June 6th. Woo! New AFI music after what seems like forever.

I hope they tour in the UK. >.>

Damn you beat me too it. Yes I have it on my Ipod. It is amazing. I Love Havoks deeper voice and his Scream is cool.

I am sooo excited. But yeah they are not coming to Denver on Warped Tour. Damn.... I LOVE AFI!!!

Bunnies are roadkill. ^^ Haha, Hunter is a bastard. Poor rabbits.

Anyways, yeah you can say I like AFI, I'm a member of the Despair Faction but since I live on the other side of the world it's kinda' hard to get anything .. though I have gotten one magazine in one year. I haven't listened to AFI for a long time, but they truly make some kickass music. I must say, though it may not be "true" of me to say so, but I feel that their new albums are much, much more mature. The lyrics have always had some kinda deeper meaning; even from them at their most punk. The Art of Drowning and Black Sails in the Sunset are both magnificent albums. Answer that and stay fashionable is abit too "boring punk" for me, to be honest. I love the mood they set in "Sing the sorrow", and I don't really find it to be emo or depressing or anything. :)

[Edit:] And to Lupin the 3rd: You can say the vocalist sucks, that's your opinion. However, he has a truly distinctive and unique voice unlike any other bands in this type of genre. He displays diversity, and a tonal range that is truly incredible. Can you sing what he sings in the same pitch? I challenge you to try to do so. ;)

Some boring songtitles there, in my honest opinion, but still ..

Endlessly, She Said probably seems in my eyes to be the one with plenty o' potential. :D I mean, if this is even close to the best song AFI has ever written (again, in my opinion) -- ..but home is nowhere. That song is so beautiful, it really touched me the first time I heard it.

I see a great deal of potential here -- come to Norway, ye' bastards!! :D

Not yet, but your post did compel me to just pre-order the album though, which I can't actually believe is out on Monday! Hopefully it'll arrive through my door early :D

Lots of nice new pictures and stuff on their official site (http://www.afireinside.net/) if anyone hasn't checked back recently.

EDIT: o.O We're getting it before you guys in the US do. Gosh, that's cool.

It's here! In good old Blighty anyway. Ha ha ha.

Decemberunderground is bloody, bloody good. I'm listening to it right now and so far the very eighties-sounding 'The Missing Frame' is probably my favourite track, but there's not a single dud here like there was on Sing the Sorrow (not many though, just the odd track I always skipped). The actual sound of the album is essentially a progression from that one, only with more experimentation and diversity. It's very rich and exciting stuff, and as usual the lyrics, music and Davey's voice are as up to scratch as always. Worth waiting for, undoubtedly. I'll post a more detailed review later this week.

Jedinator

I love the new album, its great, not quite as good as sing the sorrow but I still have yet to find a single AFI song that I do not like.
