does afi remind you of the cult

they remind me of the cult. I think that's why I like them so much, but I heard they dissed Iggy on some awards show. or was that that other band, aw crap. what's their name........ Sum 41

And in way Fugazi

man, i never though about it like that. I have to listen to a couple of songs again.

new stuff? maybe? haven't heard much of the newest albumn, but on the "art of drowning", i could see that a little...

me neither, that's worth comparing.

they sound like a band trying to sound like a band that would remind people of the cult . but at least they do it fairly well . they are my wifes new crush band so i get to hear them alot lately .

ha! what a great description _mike_

umm...sure...Okay

AFI sounds like the love child of Good Charlotte and TSOL giving Glen Danzig a blowjob.

afi IS a cult

davey havok sucks.

you're just jealous...

afi > you
do the math


haha, sorry... I had to

i just watched the "Hard Rock Live" with them on it the other night...... and what the fuck happened to those guys? where did all the hard, fast, angry songs go? i don't think they played anything from before " art of drowning". if davey from 6 or 7 years ago saw davey today, he'd slap the shit out of him and tell him to get a fuckin haircut. it just amazes me how a band can do a complete 180 like that, like metallica did to an extent, and just ignore what they once were. if that was the show i'm going to get if i go to see them now, i think i'll stay at home, listening to "answer that and stay fashionable", and relive the old " east bay hardcore" days.

If, instead of just making random assumptions about the band, you actually paid attention to them... you'd see your comment is completely off.
They've evolved. It's been a slow, and long drown out process, of going from boring, bland, primitive punk rock (IE, Answer That And Stay Fashionable cd) to what they are making now.

With each cd, they took a step forward in sound, and made themselves better. And if the Davey of 7 years ago really would slap the Davey of today, and tell him to get a haircut... that would just go to show how primitive Davey was back then.
Seriously... "I wanna be a high school football hero... with an S.A.T. score less than zero"? What the fuck was that? That was teen angst of being picked on in high school... it wasn't anything special in the world of punk rock.

What AFI is doing now, IS different. And if you think AFI aren't hardcore still... I urge you to listen to "Death Of Seasons" or "Dancing Through Sunday" (both from the new cd) and tell me that they aren't more hardcore now than when they first started off.

And they don't ignore what they use to be. The last time I saw them (October) they played 2 songs from Shut Your Mouth, 1 song from Very Proud, 1 from All Hallows, 2 from Black Sails, and 4 from Art Of Drowning. Considering it was a tour to support the new cd/songs on the new cd... that's pretty damn good if you ask me.


Sorry for the long ranting, and bitching, but I'm tired of people complaining about how AFI has "changed so quickly" when they haven't at all. It's evolution people. When a band can't do it, they suck after 2 cd's.... and the fact that AFI have done nothing but grow as a band since they started, just goes to show what they are truly capable of.... which, if you ask me... is pure greatness

AFI rocks !!...I'm in the despair faction I was in the first 600 to join the fan club i think

i got it all wrong?i thought, in my mind at least, "punk" was all about being primative , angst ridden and aggressive? i think it funny, that a "hardcore" band that despised the glam, arena rock type shit, has become exactly what it stood against...... and you people paid $30 to join a fan club? . i guess your bigger fans than i ever was.
out of curiosity, what was the first AFI albumn you bought or heard? and what did AFI stand for at the time?

no they remind me of Japanese visual kei


hmhmhmhmh. . .no. . no. .. no. . no.. no

I'm sorry, the new stuff bores the hell out of me (and I kinda like the last two records). .
. .Davey can still scream though, I'll give him that

They remind me of the shit I took yesterday!!!

They Stink!

to go along with the crowd.. I'm not a fan.. of the new CD rather.. the older stufff was pretty good but like destro said.. their performance on "Hard Rock Live" left much to be desired..

the new stuff is just blegh..

No. Because I kind of think the cult is good. I don't feel remotely similar things about afi.

while both singers sing a little unmanly, the cult can rock from time to time.
