Someone (June 13, 2006)

OzmanX, grow up.

OzmanX (June 13, 2006)

The truth hurts you know. Ozman is sad.

HeyBarmold (June 13, 2006)

jockmcbored (June 13, 2006)

some abysmal haircuts.... christ almighty.

good ol' czech republic could be possible semi-finalists this year so long as they don't have to rely on Baros. Can see us drawing v Trinidad and Tobago on Thursday

Someone (June 13, 2006)

i say go australia!!!!

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

I think Adam is the most normal looking one in the bunch. What do you think?

Someone (June 21, 2006)

what do u mean whene u say adam is the only normal one i think all of them are normal(love AFI fan)

Someone (June 13, 2006)

third.

Someone (June 21, 2006)

what?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

i just hate how fucking him and havok go out of their way to embarass all the kids who've ever worn an AFI t-shirt (ie: dressing up like full-blown fags on MTV).

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

thats gonna get blown out of proportion for the wrong reason (i am not a homophobe). i just mean they look (and are starting to sound (at least with the singles)) like some gay-gimmick band to idiots who don't know anybetter.

jockmcbored (June 13, 2006)

good recovery!

mattp330 (June 13, 2006)

good save. you still sound uneducated and oblivious to the world around you and people feelings, besides that, you speak well

Someone (June 13, 2006)

HAHA! Talk about right on the mark!

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

Kurt Vonnegut wrote a short story about what the world would be like if everyone tried to avoid hurting anybody elses feelings. I forget what its called but its in Welcome to the Monkey House. Great fucking story, and it makes people like you look uneducated and oblivious to the world around you.

The only reason I tried to 'save' myself was because i didn't want a hundred comments calling me a homophobe and completly missing the point i was trying to make. Being offended is part of life. its something even 'fags' have to deal with.

JTravolta (June 13, 2006)

I think that's where you're confused. No one has a beef with the word fag because it hurts their feelings, it's a totally condescending word and when you use it it's like you see them as less of a human being than you just because they're gay.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

you can get all that out of a word on a message board? you couldn't even go by the tone of my voice. i'm sorry, but i just dont buy that bullshit.

mattp330 (June 13, 2006)

buddy, i've read enough vonnegut along with countless other authors. and he is saying "imagine if that happened" it hasn't. you aren't starting a movement. i've just learned in life you have to be more careful with the things you say. it doesn't make you look cool. believe me, they are tons of people who haven't read the books, seen the movies, or beat off to the magazines you have. that doesn't make them worse, just different, and the things you say can still have an effect on them, you're not punk rock at all bud

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

hes just saying "imagine if that happened"

hahaha you completly missed the fucking point of that story (and vonnegut in general). you fucking retard. hahaha

Someone (June 13, 2006)

You try too hard to assert your nonexistent intelligence, as do most of the people who are replying to you. What next, you're going to try and use developmental psychology mixed with french literature just to inform someone that you don't agree with them all because you can't really prove they're wrong? The fact that you linger around here and reply to everyone who says anything to you shows that you're insecure and feel the need to validate yourself. Go back to your Community College and drink a tall, cold glass of STFU.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

You try too hard to assert your nonexistent intelligence

and you're saying I try too hard to assert my nonexistent intelligence?

Coldwaffles (June 13, 2006)

You're in 8th Grade.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Let me add that reading books do not account for being educated by the way. Anyone can read books. It take a lot more effort to form an opinion, back it up, and stand by it.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

or....when you find out your opinion is wrong, go against it...

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

So?
If they want to look like that, they're going to look like that, if they weren't, they would be you know, the p-word.

You know, it works both ways.

You and everyone like you need to start realizing that just because you think you "totally get" a bands musical output that doesn't mean that you're going to agree with what they're thinking and doing as people.

Just because you by a shirt and a record doesn't mean that you're a controlling stockholder in the band.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

i don't expect them to change their 'look' because of that comment. it just pisses me off.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

It pisses you off that they look like they want to?
How very liberal of you....

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

ok you wanna know the real thing that pisses me off? it pisses me off to see some stupid fucker writing 'AFI' on their backpack next to 'DisTurBed', 'HIM', and 'Slipknot'. it pisses me off to hear my metalhead friend tell me "I saw AFI on the movie awards last night. What a buncha fags!". and then me saying, "They didn't used to look like that, they just changed when they went on MTV" and then him saying, "well the song still sucked balls". it pisses me off that i can no longer wear my AFI shirt with the skull logo anymore without being categorized as an 'AFI fan' cause the new AFI fans are jerk-offs. It pisses me off when i'm listening to the new album and a couple of the songs actually make me feel embarassed that i'm listening to it. And it pisses me off to see an AFI poster on a window of Tower Records.

as for being 'liberal'. fuck that. liberals are pussies. i'm a fucking anarchist.

JTravolta (June 13, 2006)

hahahahaha......

....

WOW DUDE. Are you being serious?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

maybe not about the anarchist commment but yes on the afi-related comments.

colin (June 13, 2006)

if you're 17 i'll understand where you're coming from.

and also, no, you're not an anarchist.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

yeah, yeah, government is necessarry to maintain a standard currency and cops are needed for murderers, rapists, blablabla. still. fuck the government.

colin (June 13, 2006)

yes, fuck big government but i was referring more to the fact you're using a computer, probably microsoft or apple, etc. etc. etc. we all support the system in some ways, and trivial labels like anarchist or socialist or facist do nothing in the fight against the system, but rather deter attention away from the goliaths of the world.

that being said, you really should re-evaluate your little patches and posters rant. i felt the same way for awhile about various bands when i was growing up, but it's really not worth it. fans at shows? there's something to be pissed off about. the fact the new album is pretty lame? that's weak sauce. but throwing away a bands past simply because of their future choices is just as dumb. there will always be copies of the art of drowning to listen to.

as for other people's choices, well, fuck them, what do you care anyway?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

wow. i think you completly missed my point. i love AFI. i will always listen to everything between the Art of Drowning and Answer That And Stay Fashionable. I'd be depressed if I couldn't listen to those albums anymore. 'Art of Drowning' is one of my favorite albums ever. Thats why its so hard for me to see this new direction their going in (both musically and comercially). if they were a band for whose past i didn't give a shit about, i wouldn't give a shit about their future. and i haven't gone to an afi show since they soul doubt so i can't say anything about that.

as for my computer, i built it myself (in a cardboard box) and i illegally downloaded the operating system. i know that was just an example and yes i do have a car, a tv, cable and support corporations whenever its impossible not to. and i realize how these corporations give (and receive) power to the government. but i hate the fucking drug laws in this country.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Their "new direction" isn't THAT much different than Art of Drowning. Maybe their newest album is, but Sing the Sorrow is VERY similar. Only 15 year olds and neanderthals hold so closely to the major/indie label thing.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

"Only 15 year olds and neanderthals hold so closely to the major/indie label thing."
Wow. Way to generalize everyone with a different opinion than you.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

i never really got into STS, i'm not sure why. maybe cause there were a lot of mediocre songs on it.

i've never dismissed any bands music cause of their record label. yes, i have less respect for major label bands and i consider every one of them to be sellouts but i don't not listen to otherwise good music due to their record label.

Someone (June 16, 2006)

I was wondering what other bands you listen to anyway?

Someone (June 18, 2006)

I guess the way i look at it is that this is sort of like a tv show or a movie. I buy the cd and listen to it like i sit down and watch a television show. Im not a strait edge kid, and im not queer, and not into the goth punk stuff so much, but i dont mind hearing some of the stuff AFI comes up with. Im not sure if these guys are really homosexual or not... or straight edge but its neat music and i think if you like it, then you like it, if you dont, well you dont! and its not a lifestyle is it? its just music...

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

Just an observation, but everyone seems to miss your point. Maybe you're not relaying it well enough?

glsco (June 14, 2006)

I got it. Just didn't feel it warranted me commenting that I understood. Until now I suppose.

I UNDERSTAND!

much better.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

i hate seeing a band i grew up on get huge too, but they sure and hell didn't change their look when they got on MTV. Davey started the whole "hot topic look" when Black Sails came out. That was back in 98 or 99. Come on!

And if you seriously can't wear a band shirt cuz some clueless kids jumped on a trend, that doesn't say anything different about you.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

they did NOT look like this even as late as Art of Drowning era. i know cause ive seen em live. i can't wear their shirt cause i'm embarassed by the new direction (musically and comercially) that their headed. although the new album isn't so terrible (except for a few terrible songs).

Someone (June 16, 2006)

I don't listen to Less Than Jake anymore because I don't like how they got rid of their horns and their music became bad (in my eyes), but I am not pissed off about it. It was just a natural progression out of their music.

My point is to stop bitching about it. If you don't like them anymore, you don't like them. Some bands do "sell out" as a lot of people put it. They have just progressed in my eyes. I will admit that some of their new fans do suck, but that happens with everyone. I hate Big Wig Fans because I think they are a bunch of assholes, but that doesn't stop me from going to their shows. I guess we will see how AFI fans have turned out in my city, as I am going to their show tomorrow night.

Also, their look has been pretty similar to what it is now, and I too have seen them live more than once also. No, I am not talking about when sing the sorrow came out. I think I saw them for the first time in 2000, and it was pretty similar. All that I ask, is that Davey does not wear his really bad white make-up, because I hate it! It just looks terrible.

NinjaDemon (December 3, 2007)

if it pisses you off so bad dont look at peoples bags. and who cares if they where at the movie awards it doisnt mean that they are fags they are making something out of their lives unlike you by tellling people what pisses you off

Someone (June 14, 2006)

and yes, you are homophobic and kind of an asshole.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

haha thats funny cuz i remember a couple years ago i went to put on my 'proud of ya' era afi shirt and just as i was putting it on i thought fuck, i cant wear this anymore. it's still in my closet at my parents house somewhere.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

You do hate punk rock afterall, huh?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

haha, thats the one i have.

FeatheredMullet (June 13, 2006)

I would like Jade to give me a blow job

Someone (June 13, 2006)

he could use his hair to tickel your butt while he does so.

iconoclast (June 13, 2006)

hahahaha. wow. that was actually fucking hilairous.

sXenester (June 13, 2006)

Hold on...
FuckYouOiOiOi's worried about offending people?

What's next, Jones the Bones leaving polite, complimentary comments with zero sarcasm?
Next thing you know, cats and dogs living together... MASS HYSTERIA!

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

i didn't want a hundred comments calling me a homophobe and missing the point of the comment.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

and what the fuck happened to the Bones?!?

Someone (June 13, 2006)

If you are seriously so shallow that you are embarassed that you liked their music because of how they dress, then you need to shut the fuck up, you god damn n00b.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

when i used to wear my afi shirt, only other punkers would know why. now everyone who listens to alterna-radio and watches mtv thinks they know why even though they don't.

JTravolta (June 13, 2006)

.........who cares? I'll tell you who doesn't care, anyone that's out of middle school.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

fuck you, i'm out of middle school. the new fans and new direction afi is going in pisses me off as a fan of AFI before they sold out.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

www.skrewdriver.net

Go there. Obviously your brilliance is wasted here.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

yes because i'm obviously a nationalist who hates immigration.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

And I hate how idiots like you can't come out of the closet. Cock smoker...

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

ahh you think i'm a homophobe. if i were, that comment would be spot on. but i'm not.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Keep telling yourself that. And keep telling us that, like you do everytime you make a homophobic comment here.

You're the record keeper, can we get a running tally of how many times that's happened?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

phobias are complex psychological problems and cannot be reflected by one word.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

It's cute that you think you understand anything about psychology. First off, it wasn't one word. Your entire post was leading up to that statement. Second, you've made many, many posts in the past using derogatory terms for gay people. That's common around here, but you always seem to feel the need to explain that you're not actually a homophobe, backtracking when you realized you've voiced an unpopular opinion. Nobody else feels the need to do that when they're just joking around.

Oh, and homophobia is no more a phobia than racism. It's not a psychological problem, it's just ignorant bigotry.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 14, 2006)

a homophobe is someone who fears homosexuality (more specifically, fears homosexuality in themselves). this fear manifests into hatred of homos and most homophobes use insane justification to prove that they are better than homos (ie: God hates fags).

i have never said anything that would make anybody who understands homophobia call me a homophobe. while calling something 'gay' or calling someone who dresses like a goth libarache a 'fag' might be offensive to some overly-sensitive gays it does NOT mean i am a homophobe (the gay guy i know doesn't give a shit if i say somethings 'gay' (i've never called anyone a fag around him but i'm almost certain he wouldn't be offended by it)).

Someone (June 18, 2006)

u ppl r funny....

Someone (June 14, 2006)

I'm you are the kind of fan that they don't want anyway.

colin (June 13, 2006)

the hair has to stop.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

so do bands with beards, you win some you lose some.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

At least with beards, there's some respect.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

being ugly doesn't gain any respect from me. Beards are for hobos and professors only!

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Especially Professor Hobo with his course on bindlology.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Against Me! are geology professors.

Professors of ROCK!!!!

Beards are fantastic.

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

Looking like a lumberjack is so respectful.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

So if someone walks up to you and say "dude, i hate your fucking pants, take them off", you're taking your pants off?

CrookedSuperhero (June 13, 2006)

Whoa, worst point ever.

These people are just saying they don't like the hair, because it's ridiculous. What's the problem?

colin (June 13, 2006)

depends on how cute the girl is.

and no, jackass. pants are utilitarian unless you're an asshole that pays $300 for the pretty ones. styled hair that lops all over the place and takes 8 years to make up is superficial and promotes an ideal that says looks are the most important thing.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

It only promotes the idea that looks are the most important thing towards obsessive fans who copy their idols, then people who do nothing but antagonize others make a big deal out of it.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

its not that they style their hair....its the style they use for their hair.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

or everyone, like you, just focuses on other people too much.

SalsaShark (June 14, 2006)

Shut the fuck up. Don't be stupid.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

pretty boring interview

Someone (June 14, 2006)

yeah. i think there needs to be another propagandhi interview. that guy had something to say, other than talking about his hair. or whatever this dude said in this interview. blah blah blah we're afi. woo!

axx (June 14, 2006)

It's also awfully written.. it made me feel like I could hardly read English what with all the sentences that start and don't end, the "it's like, like you know, kinda like" and the "well we kind of went for the kind of kind that's kind" phases
.
Seriously, I agree that it's nice to keep a "spoken" feeling to an interview, but removing repetitions and purely vocal idioms (and usually ones that are proof of bad education) is NOT changing what the interviewer/interviewed meant, it's just cleaning it up so that it's readable.

I mean the comments to the interview are better written than the itw itself, what goes?

Before going all out about the hair and the appearance, let's go the real punk rock issue hear: grammar and syntax.

Yes, I can be a grammar nazi.

axx (June 14, 2006)

I'm talking about this for instance:
"Where like bands from KIND of the scene have entered that KIND of tabloidy KIND of level."

SalsaShark (June 13, 2006)

They look like generic metalcore/Victory band #28327.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

well, they have been around for 10 years so good luck backing that statement up

Someone (June 13, 2006)

They used to look normal.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

If by normal you mean like undertakers, yes.

They've just changed their style to another trend, it's just that you liked the old one, but that was still a trend.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Who the fuck cares what they look like. if that matters, you're a fucking idiot. It's either good music or bad music. Isn't part of the "punk" element not fitting in whether it comes to your ideas or appearance? Fucking Bullshit. Who cares about normal.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Oh yeah when was that? like 1996? if thats the case you are complaining about what they looked like 10 years after the fact. Cuz Davey has been wearing make up since 1998 at least.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

I just hate the hair.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

15 years

SalsaShark (June 14, 2006)

Y'all (that means almost everyone in this little thread) needs to chill the fuck out. All I said was that they look like a generic Victory band. I despise those sorts of hairstyles.

Also, I'm not one of those people who listens to a band for their looks or not, and I understand your point about punk being ugly, but their style doesn't aim for something punk, it aims towards the Victory emo style.

sXenester (June 13, 2006)

you should've asked if that davey havok chick is single.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

gay

colin (June 13, 2006)

"the lead singer of afi is pretty hot... you know, for a goth chick."

Someone (June 13, 2006)

wow, that was not funny at all!

sXenester (June 13, 2006)

somebody woke up with a dick in their mouth this morning.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

still not funny...

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

I hate when that happens.

colin (June 13, 2006)

it's a quote from nothing nice to say. i figured the people on this site would get it. it's not supposed to be funny, it's a tongue in cheek reference.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

You're not supposed to quote anything except movies.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

"what movie was that quote from?"

-Jim Carrey, The Cable Guy

Coldwaffles (June 13, 2006)

No, you're supposed to quote anything but movies.

glsco (June 14, 2006)

Everyone knows that the only thing you are ever supposed to quote is Family Guy. If at all possible you should speak in nothing but Family Guy quotes. They get funnier every single time.

ThreeChordsAndTheTruth (June 13, 2006)

Yeah but it gets made in every AFI related post on this site since that comic was made.

Someone (June 14, 2006)

that's like when the first hanson video came on mtv and howard stern said "that lead singer is HOT, wait until she's a bit older" then he realized it's a little boy. i would say "what an idiot" but i thought it was a girl too...

Someone (June 18, 2006)

1997 called . . .

Shit, I forgot it wasn't even funny nine years ago.

ThreeChordsAndTheTruth (June 13, 2006)

A drunk guy in a Sex Pistols shirt (yeah I know) told me my AFI shirt was a "lame pop band for the kiddies" or something at a Death By Stereo/Himsa show last month.

Good interview Aubin, as usual, looking forward to the next part.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

sounds like a winner!

axx (June 14, 2006)

to which you replied "yeah, your shirt too" I suppose?

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Jade looks more like a bitch every day.

If this continues, Davey won't be able to hold his mascara.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Who cares. You're an idiot.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Go back to the AFI message board

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Yes, I found this link at the AFI message board, but I frequent this board:

www.b9board.com

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

If you're complaining about the hair....does that mean there's nothing to complain about on the new album?

I mean, sure, hunter looks like a strawberry fruitcake, but what's up with the extremly lame the cure aping and metalcore vocals? Lets focus on that.

givemeamuseumandillfillit (June 13, 2006)

I'm ridiculously tired.

colin (June 13, 2006)

see my review to the left.

sXenester (June 13, 2006)

if Brody Dalle and Davey Havok had kids, would "androgynous" come even close to describing them?

Someone (June 13, 2006)

you want davey's cock

iconoclast (June 13, 2006)

perhaps im missing your point and your just making a joke and im being too "P.C." but, why does it matter how masculine or feminine someone comes off as being?

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

would you date a chick who looked like a dude (even though i don't think brody looks like a guy, i think shes hot)?

sXenester (June 13, 2006)

I'd tap that.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

brody is fucking hot dude.

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

*brody is a fucking hot dude.

JXS

Hubitcherkokov (June 13, 2006)

You and I finally agree on something.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

says the guy who could never get a date in HS.

FuckYouOiOiOi (June 13, 2006)

ohhh yeah dude right on! you totally got my number. fucking dumbass.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Jade needs a makeover from Queer Eye for the Straight Guy.

axx (June 14, 2006)

that's considering he IS straight!
how dare you guess his sexual orientation only from his looks? you're so not punk rock dude/tte, show some respect!

Someone (June 13, 2006)

This is off the top of my head, but I think it's Marc Webb, not Mark Webb.

sceneupdates (June 13, 2006)

Aubin submit my Lagwagon interview

Someone (June 13, 2006)

I love how Punknews lurkers will make fun of anything that doesn't have a mohawk or bad hygiene.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Well, when you look like a douche, you're going to be treated like one.

Jade looks more fruity than the cover of the new Dashboard Confessional cd.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

This is ridiculous. It shouldn't fucking matter what anyone looks like.

iconoclast (June 13, 2006)

it doesnt really matter much at all in the scheme of things. he still looks fucking silly.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

He'd better off being judged on his appearance than his band's music....

NinjaDemon (December 3, 2007)

i agree they should dress like how they want and not how people think they should dress

JTravolta (June 13, 2006)

I think mohawks get made fun of the most, actually.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

C'mon. That's unfair. This costume look is just too ridiculous.

ChokingVictim (June 13, 2006)

I just listened to "Left & Leaving" for the first time (I know, I'm behind) a little bit ago. "My Favorite Chords" is a great song.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

or 3 cocks in your mouth at once!!

iconoclast (June 13, 2006)

WOW...jade looks sillier every time i see a picture of him. i saw a live video of a song they played during the sing the sorrow tour, and jade's "moves" were pretty much embarassing. anybody know what im talking about? i totally agree that musical progression and change is a very good thing, but everything from the sound of their music, to their look, is getting increasingly silly and and just downright bad. it doesnt seem to be coming from their hearts like it used to, but perhaps thats just my interpretation.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Wouldn't you think that when a band progresses and matures musically that they would as well?

MonkeyFracas (June 14, 2006)

I definitely agree with you there.

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

It's funny cuz Glenn actually asked AFI to go on tour with him when he did a DANZIG tour and had that SAMHAIN reuinon back in '99. So, so much for that idiotic comment he made. Also, Glenn's band members (and Glenn himself) appear on the Son of Sam album which was a project that Davey did vocals for.

Asinine people, yo.

JXS

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Ok, well, it's clear that Danzig lost his damn mind the minute he left the Misfits....

And also, your emulating of Davey Havok is pretty fucking sad, bro...

WEZ

Someone (June 13, 2006)

And also, it's cool you picked up on the one part of the bit about Danzig, since the rest of it is really the point:

1. He ripped off the Misfits look. Weak, and boring, that he'd have to take that shit from someone else.

2. He looks down on people that drink. Again, weak, especially since he's never drank. How it is "civillian", I will never know.

3. AFI makes crappy music now. They were never that good to begin with, but they are alot worse now. Nothing innovative, interesting or at all compelling about their schtick at all.

So yeah, big deal that Danzig likes them. He became even shittier once he got knocked out by North City Kings or whoever the fuck that guy in that band was that put Danzig on his ass after he copped an attitude. He was cool in the Misfits. After that, it's hit and miss.

WEZ

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

1. It's no secret that he ripped off Danzig, he's even admitted to it in older interviews. Glenn was a key influence on Davey and some people make their influences more obvious than others. I don't see how people can still say he's biting at Danzig's style these days, he doesn't even mention him or the 'fits when he's asked for influences.

2. He doesn't look down on people who drink, some of his best friends drink, and there's concert footage from back when Mark was in the band of someone yelling out what you just claimed about Davey looking down on people who drink and Davey says that he's got nothing against people who drink. It's loud, drunk, obnoxious assholes that he has problems with and Mark agrees.

3. Musical taste is subjective.

JXS

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

The point of bringing up Mark was that Davey says Mark drinks that he has no problem with that, I left that out.

JXS

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

*and that he

Someone (June 13, 2006)

It's hard to look at the interview that Davey gave in Rolling Stone and say he doesn't look down on those who drink, or at least, the act of drinking itself.... to call it "Civillian" (which makes little to no sense), is clearly some half-assed attempt to put drinking as something below him.... that's cool if he doesn't like wild ass drunks, not many people do, but to look down on the act itself is, as I said, weak... especially when he's never been drunk...

You use evidence from the past to make one of your points (about the drinking) and yet, ignore the past (Misfits/Danzig connection) in another. In any case, it doesn't make him ripping Danzig/Misfits style off without changing much of anything any better.... I'm all for being influence by something, we all have been, but do something original to make it clear you were influenced by something, and didn't steal it..

But, as you said, the comparison to the Misfits makes no sense today. AFI is nothing like the Misfits. They don't even compare.

WEZ

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

Civilized would make sense, civilian does not.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

However, civilized would not have the insulting overtones he was looking for....

WEZ

Evil_Dead (June 13, 2006)

How exactly did I ignore the past?

JXS

PaintItAlex (June 13, 2006)

Awsome band, great interview

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Well, here's what I've gathered from this. Punknews lurkers are fucking idiots who care WAY too much about appearances, and some AFI fans are obsessive.

Bye.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

well maybe AFI shouldn't rip off other bands like My Chemical Romance.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

That comment is one big LOL.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

what's funny about bands copying each other. MCR have been doing makeup a long time now. how old are you.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

AFI ripping off MCR? Are you fucking serious? Considering AFI was around long, long, LONG before them...

iconoclast (June 13, 2006)

you = idiot

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Whatever you say, buddy.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

MCR had a video on TRL before AFI. umm yeah who copied who.

Dante3000 (rich) (June 13, 2006)

I'm laughing on the outside and crying on the inside.
-Dante

Someone (June 13, 2006)

I'm honestly LMAOing right now. Are you really being serious? You've got to be like... 10 years old to say something like that.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

no I watch a lot of MTV thats all. I'm gonna be a sophmore next year. sorry the guy just copies Gerard.

JoshCBFL (June 13, 2006)

He just turned 11 this week. You should wish him happy birthday.

colin (June 13, 2006)

amazing

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Since when the fuck does TRL determine who's copied who? you mark hoppus obsessive fuck. TRL?? That fuckin gay ass show that carson daly hosted and britney spears and nsync battled for number 1 for years?? haha

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

here's how it works smart guy. My Chemical Romance debuts a music video and they do the whole makeup thing. then AFI's first music video comes on and their doing the makeup thing too. get it? or do you JUST NOT GET IT?

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Davey's been wearing make-up before MCR was even a band. Idiot.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

My Chemical Romance's first CD came out before sing the sorrow. try again. i've been a music fan for a couple years now.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Yeah? Black Sails In The Sunset? The Art of Drowning? All came out before MCR was even a band. Sorrryyyyy.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

how come me and none of my friends have ever heard of those albums. my friends listen to a lot of stuff too. there pretty knowledgeable.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? Just because your "knowledgeable" friends haven't heard of them don't mean they don't exist. There's also 3 other albums BEFORE AOD and Black Sails. Go look them up on Amazon.com. All of them are sitting here next to me. They exist. And they were all made before MCR even had thoughts of a band. But thanks for making me laugh.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

thank you for making you laugh? you make me and my friends laugh. PS-the Sing the Sorrow CD cover says: AFI's debut album. and that album had no TRL hits

Someone (June 13, 2006)

L M F A O. YOU ARE SERIOUSLY THE DUMBEST FUCKING PERSON I'VE MET IN MY LIFE. SING THE SORROW WAS THEIR MAJOR LABEL DEBUT. GO LOOK ON AMAZON AND YOU WILL FIND 7 AFI ALBUMS, THE FIRST ONE BEING RELEASED OVER 10 YEARS AGO, PLUS A BUNCH OF OTHER EPS. I have no words for you... at all. Just go back to listening to Blink 182 and stop worrying about AFI, a band you obviously know absolutely NOTHING about.

blinkrules (June 13, 2006)

I know Sing the Sorrow was the first album. it's a fact. you are just trying to make me mad. that's mature man, purposely trying to get someone mad by making stuff up.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Alright... after that comment I figure you are either a) not being serious/attempting to get a laugh out of this, or b) the stupidest person in the whole world - neither of which deserve my time. See ya.

HeyBarmold (June 13, 2006)

Correction:

Someone (June 13, 2006)

funny, considering the ska song as a hidden track on one of their records (forgetting right now).

look, i liked the misfits, the last record wasn't for me, a bit too glossy, whatever. But this new image they';re going for is just too much. Everyone can say that image isn't important and isn't punk rock, but if Against Me looked like the backstreet boys, would anyone like them?

Davey wears more blue eye shadow than an $10 atlantic City hooker. Damn dude.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

So much concern about looks. It's really not a big deal. It will be okay, I promise.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

Davey and Jade should form a side project with Billy Joe from Green Day and the fruitcake lead singer of My Chemical Romance. That way, they can all look ridiculous together.

They can even call themselves the Glam Ghouls!!

Someone (June 13, 2006)

The glam ghouls? im thinking your a fat 14 year old chick who shoves carrots in her ass.

If Jade ever showed up on Jerry Springer, he would be laughed at. Even Jerry wouldn't be able to keep a straight face if Jade said he was straight.

i used to like afi but now i just want to rail them!

i was never that into sing the sorrow, and really feel thats when afi started to go downhill, but i find myself liking it more than ever before after hearing decemberunderground. i think what it is is that i just appreciate STS more, cause now afi is pretty much pure shit.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

I'm really happy to see the return of such a reputable band as AFI. It takes a lot to put yourself out there regardless of the criticism you may recieve, may it be ignorant or educated. but these guys have been able to do it over and over again, and also managed to gain a pretty powerful and dedicated fan base along the way. now that's impressive.

Someone (June 13, 2006)

WOW! He's rocking a reverse MULLET!!!

Someone (June 13, 2006)

I have to admit, Jade' s hair is a bit silly, but least he's got a GIRLfriend.

AFI is awesome, forever will be.
Davey's Hair = coolish
Davey's makeup = plz stop

Music = awesome, old and new

but then again does AFI belong on a punk website? well, not anymore they don't
they don't fit into a genre, they are their own genre, they keep chaning their styles and stuff its awesome (to a degree)........but fans of punk music won't like this unless they enjoy the cure and 80s pop influenced stuff,

you punk rockers are so stupid, don't buy an AFI album without expecting a dramatic change, and don't expect it to be punk oriented as davey said himself "i'm sick of punk rock, it's too easy"

dammit....

AFI is by far one of the worst bands in the mainstream righ nowt for the simple fact that they were once good. Now its a bunch of overrated garbage that doesnt match up to anything theyve done in the past. They are flamboiently gay and that makes it even worse. So go eat a dick with davey havok's vegitarian leather wearing fag ass and listen to their new album like its progress, because it isnt and youre slowing down the progress of music by listening and giving in to that complete and utter bullshit

Someone (June 14, 2006)

Enough with the presumptions, enough with the homophobia, the image focus and the "OmGlolZlIeKThere old stuff was so much better now theyre lame cos they wear makeup"
Yeah so maybe a punk site isn't the best place for Afi right now, but listen to the record before you judge.
It may not be your thing, fair enough, but it's the band's thing, and it's their right to play the music they like. No one can deny that the new album is, musically, pretty sound and tight, playing and production wise.If you don't like it, it's your preferences, not that it's bad. They're still playing well live, touring and doing damn good by their fans and people who put the effort in for them.
Plus you need to drop the "teh" thing, it's been done to death.

sorry that was meant to be a forum post not a reply to you.

trolley (June 14, 2006)

I was at that Toronto show the interviewer mentions. One of the security guys was a dick and grabbed some girl, and AFI stopped playing midsong to tell him to fuck off. There was almost a riot and security all took off, and everyone loved Davey for telling off the venue owner on stage. Since there was no security for Good Riddance by the end of their set there was a bunch of people on stage with them. That was probably my favourite show ever.

All the 'kind of's in this interview hurt my brain. Articulate questions are your best friend. Editing is your second best friend.

Someone (June 14, 2006)

yeah i read that jeffery star is opening for them in some cities. what the fuck?

mustard (June 14, 2006)

i hate innocent children

Someone (June 14, 2006)

you people are pathetic. do you really need to make a mockery of anything you dont love? just because you lead sad, useless lives doesnt mean you need to critique everyone else as if you had some awesome band. most of you are losers who spend all day on the computer. so you go and make fun of people because that's your "power" moment of the day.

the new album isnt my favorite. but i respect. it's AFI's band and whatever music they want to make or play, let them. who are YOU to say they're stupid?

Someone (June 14, 2006)

Someone (June 15, 2006)

I feel dumber having read half these comments. How narrow minded can you be? It reminds me why I left the whole "punk" thing behind. I grew up and realised it was just another subculture full of posers trying to be cool. (I try not to generalise, but for the most part its true)

I mean 90 percent of these comments have nothing to do with the music. The internet is a sad sad place sometimes.

Someone (June 16, 2006)

I agree, and why do you supposed punks care if they are fags, or look like fags?Huh? do you realise you sound like biggots?

old afi=kickass punk

new afi=good in a different way

Someone (June 16, 2006)

I don't know why how they look really matters to any of you. And if you don't like their music just stop listening to it. I know, that sounds pretty crazy but criticizing a band for doing what they want to do is fucking retarded. Go listen to some old band that has the same exact chords for each and every fucking song because that's "so punk."

I'm proud of AFI, they paid their dues and they don't have to answer to any one who has a problem with their music. They're the band, not you. So when you start touring and playing music and people start bashing on what you do then feel free to insult them. But for now, just shut your god damn mouth.

Someone (June 27, 2006)

I agree with you. AFI are a good band, and have the right to do what they want, and if they can't deal with it, they can just screw off!!

Someone (June 17, 2006)

Wow i have to say most of the ppl on this board are bastards. AFI change their sound and back them 100% and ppl can say whatever they want about them but at least they're doing something with their lives and doing shit they love. And maybe if you paid attention more there is a reason behind all of the songs it's a story, a mystery we have to tell and solve. Maybe only AFI fans understand but jesus what the fuck who gives a shit what they look like. Their music kicks ass still and lets face it some punk rockers aren't lookers themselves and nobody is on their case and flipping out. TARDS

Someone (June 17, 2006)

Agreed. Why can't people just listen to the music instead of getting hung up on the band's looks?

And why is everyone slagging them off for making the music they want to make? If they like it, they have every right to put it out there in hopes that other people will like it too. If you don't like it, don't listen to it, and just leave them alone. It's as simple as that.

Someone (June 17, 2006)

I completely agree with ^^^^^^^^^!!!! their doin sumthin they love and ppl baggin on them for doin it ur just not right in the head. they have points to their look or there hair styles or their songs and the way they do what they do! AFI kicks freakin butt and if you dont agree then stop writing in here cause this is for fans who love them!!! AFI is great and the reason ppl are baggin on them is cause theres obviously sumthun rong with them so they take it out on AFI!!!! gayfers!

Someone (June 18, 2006)

what dose AFI mean?

Someone (June 18, 2006)

A Fire Inside

Someone (June 19, 2006)

"a female indisguise"

Someone (June 27, 2006)

It means "A Fire Inside".

3rdSeason (December 18, 2006)

AFI means A Fire Inside, which they totally have. They have worked hard on their music and have come a long way.

Someone (June 21, 2006)

Someone (July 15, 2006)

its funny how everyones bashing AFI
yeah AFI aint punk so get over yourselves
besides they Openly admitted that they dont play punk rock anymore

okayhooray (August 12, 2006)

Haha wow.
This world is quite shallow now.

It's kinda hypocritical to me if all you are doing is complaining about how 'gay' they are and their new style. What the hell. Quit throwing 'gay' around loosely because I would have to say that if you're sitting here bashig styles, dudes, you're gay, lolzzz.

No but seriously. Shut the fuck up.

Music is art and therefore subjective. Some people like it and some people dont. It's all a matter of opinion so shut your face.

Geeard (August 25, 2006)

*bows at your feet* i soo love you. you took the damn words right out of my mouth. thank you. ur my new best friend. Oh by the way peoples. i don't care what you think.... i love AFI their music has helped me through tough times and i will eternally be a fan and supporter. so if you beg to differ.....fuck off.

last_ashes (December 20, 2006)

Love the interview, love the band, love their albums (all of them), and love jade.

BreathtakinglyManic (December 25, 2006)

Okay, first of all, it doesn't matter if ANY of the band is gay, because it's none of your fucking business. If that is what they like, so be it. Whatever floats their boat. And no one has you strapped to a seat, with headphones taped to your ears, blasting AFI the loudest it will go. If you don't like it, don't fucking listen to it. Those of you who post mean and cruel comments are completely immature and pathetic and I'm sure all your snide remarks make you feel better, sick bastards that you are, but it sure doesn't make people who like their music or are actually gay feel good. You have no business butting into their personal lives, and if you don't like them, no business listening to them. If you are that insecure about yourselves then go find a teddy bear and a binkie to comfort you. AND LEAVE OTHERS ALONE!

Kauka_Medeiros (February 20, 2007)

you guys rock so much i would really like to meet all of you very talented musicians. You might just see my band in the Music industry very soon.

LittleMissHiccup (September 28, 2007)

SHUT YOUR FUVKING MOUTHS. IF U HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THESE PEOPLE, THEN U HAVE A MENTAL DISABILITY. Are you rfeally that shallow, that when you have no idea who a person is, you judge them for what they look like? That's disgustung... You are a racist fucktard who is so discriminative and racist. Shut up and fuck off to one of your childish high school parties because Jade and Davey rock and what are u going to do, BITE ME, MOTHER FUCKERS.YOU all have no lives... get one. Thihnk u've already got one? Get another...
