Davey Havok looks like his name should be Meryl.

Weird... Last time I saw Sick Of It All, they had AFI and Hot Water Music opening for them.
Of course, this was ages ago....

Remember that well. Believe that was the first time I saw Davey rocking the pleather pants and fishnet shirt.

Pretty sure this is the third time they've toured together. I think i saw them together in 96/97 with Ensign and Ignite.

This show is going to draw the weirdest crowd.

I just relized I saw AFI live years and years ago. I can't believe I forgot that.

The first show I ever saw at the Middle East was AFI opening for SOIA. No one gave a shit about AFI.

Despite what people will have you believe on sites like this, outside of the Bay Area and maybe parts of southern Cal, NO ONE gave a shit about AFI before they started getting "gothy."

This is true. Saw them open for Dance Hall Crashers, The Vandals, and the Descendents back in the day and no one cared. They were so great too. Their popularity growth seems to be correlated to their musical decline. So very baffling.

I wonder what he calls his new look....
They've certainly calmed down the theatrics of the Decemberundergroup look.

When is that guitarist gonna get rid of that horrible hair cut he's been sporting since sing the sorrow.

Oh god. The amount of "Were on tour with Sick of it all right now, so who wants to hear some punk rock? We're gonna play an 'old' song now, let's see if you kids know the words!" going on on this tour will be horrifying.

I would go if I was sure this lineup means that AFI will effectively play a significative amount of old songs.

AFI suck so much ball sacks these days, they used to be pretty decent, although they don't sound as good as I used to think about 8 years ago

SOIA are still a great band
