SAME! This is all my high school music (I say even as I have these exact songs on my current iPod) and every time he reacts to something from back then I'm just like "Child, you were deprived!" lol
I mean how old is Alex? Mid 20s tops? He still wouldve been a bit too young during the early-mid 00s to understand and listen to alternative kinds of music. Granted AFI were definitely becoming a bigger band by the time this record came out but if he was still in grade school it makes sense he had no idea this existed
@@stephensporman8206 That really depends on your environment, circle of friends, exposure to music, etc., growing up. I was in junior high when albums like TBP & 'DECEMBERUNDERGROUND' dropped, and I was surrounded by various scene kids who worshipped the likes of Gerard Way, Davey Havok, Corey Taylor, and more 😅
Absolutely one of their best. Up there with "A Single Second" for me. I love how with AFI they do have some more popular songs, but pretty much every fan has different favourites and there is no consensus of "this is there best song" like a lot of other bands. Such a damn good band.
@@amberhoward7807 if your talking about the side project with the band no doubt the band I think he is better off sticking with afi. But if you mean new afi then I agree afi can never fail they play very well off each other.
True story: I know you reacted to miss murder already, but Davey havok from this video and miss murder made me want to do hair when I got older, and now I’ve been doing hair for about 8 years now. AFI has had a huge influence in my life, the whole sing the sorrow album is solid as hell. I guess I can leave you with the leaving song part 2 and silver and cold to round out the single category in it. Also, shout out to the dude who said HIM wings of the butterfly, kinda similar but the guitarist made me want to get a Gibson sg more than anything, now I own one
Dude, you're listening to every single song I used to hear when I was 16-18. A bunch of great memories comes to my mind. Thanks for this, thanks for helping me to remember that I was REALLY happy back in those days. Thanks
I saw them for the first time ever 3 years ago (after being a fan for 14 years) and I got to hold Davey up with my husband while he sang this song. Best first AFI concert ever.
Watch AFI Miseria Cantare and The Leaving Song Pt. 2 live at Hard Rock Orlando. The intro to that show and transition into Leaving Song is amazing. Was the first concert I ever attended in 7th grade.
I feel like you’d get into Punk, pop-punk and emo as much as you’ve gotten into metal, any rock music really! It just keeps pulling you in further 😂❤️❤️🤘🏼
Dude you have to do like 20 reactions a day, can't get enough of them lol these are all my bands. Let's gooo. The Used Buried Myself Alive, Taste of ink. New Found Glory - My Friends Over you. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not OK
Probably seen them 30 times...the best was at a venue called the brickworks in Chico CA right around the middle of the art of drowning touring cycle. It was an amazing set list in a tiny venue that had a 2nd level that people used to stage dive.
RUclips recommended this to me because i'm a massive AFI fan and have been since my middleschool days. It's really enjoyable being able to watch you listen to them for the first time and appreciate them. Davey Havok has a voice like no other, and he has always had incredibly strong vocals. If you enjoy his voice, I recommend checking out his side projects. Blaqk Audio with the guitar player for AFI, Jade Puget. Also give Dreamcar a listen, that is a side project Davey did with No Doubt's boys of the band. If you're into Straight edge hardcore, he did another project with Jade Puget called XTRMST, and they all just channel out to different vocal ranges this man can do. He has a few other projects he's done as well, but as a whole, Davey, Jade, Hunter and Adam are incredibly talented and have reserved the spot as my favorite band always, and it makes me so happy to see you enjoying them.
Your video reaction was amazing. You put into video what I was never able to capture: my reaction to AFI when I first saw this (my first intro to them) which made me fall in love with them 17 years ago and I'm still a huge fan of them. They are my most favorite band. The colors and the lyrics and how pretty Davey was and just everything in general. I loved your reaction. I'm glad you made this video and enjoyed this song. :)
I'd really like to see Alex reacting to "This Celluloid Dream" or "Paper Airplanes Wings Makeshift", but these songs aren't as popular as the singles from this album :/
This celluloid dream has always been my favorite afi song. Not sure what it is about it, I just love it. I own all of their albums and have seen them live a few times and that’s always the song that gets me the most. After that is probably silver and cold. Also, probably another unpopular opinion, but sing the sorrow and DECEMBERUNDERGROUND are my go to albums for afi, I love all of their stuff but those are my preferred albums.
Damm alex u listening to AFI is giving me memories of my teen years i had long since forgotten thank u😇 i haven't listen to AFI in years forgot how good they are..keep up the good work man
Some people may say that this era wasn’t really much for music, however AFI did have insane vocals and catchy melodies, I’m going down memory lane with you buddy👍🏻🔥
Sing The Sorrow is an epic album. There's an amazing hidden track at the end. It's called This Time Imperfect. There's also some great poetry, with music. Not to mention, all the other tracks are awesome. I very highly recommend, buying or downloading the album.
Dude... same. I wake up hella early, think, "well I'll be tired tonight, so I'll go to sleep early." and my stoopid ass STILL watches Netflix until like 1-2 in the A.M. This is a new one for me, and I'm glad we experienced this together. I knew like two AFI songs, and this weren't one of 'em. Awesome sound, crazy video, all around good time. WHOA?! That Spongebob F-bomb! Simon, if you're reading this, I believe in you, guy. Kick nic(otines) ASS!
Lol! I still remember the day when I put the cd inside my walkman after I purchased it at Walmart. I was at the back seat of the car eating some doritos and drinking a dr pepper. I was a nice trip.
saw these guys on your with rise against and anti flag. One of the best live performances I've see. All the long emo looks are gone and these peoples looking hella clean. Afi's singer never stopped running around and jumping for like an hour. dudes got so much energy. So much fun
I saw them play this before their encore touring behind this album at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago back in 2003. Breakdown during the bridge was magical. They had Bleeding Through and Hot Water Music opening. That show was a trip.
Can we take amount to appreciate just how long AFI have been around for, there first EP dropped 1993, like they have grown and changed SO much in that time it's insane
Okay, I LOVE that you reacted to this song. Sing The Sorrow remains one of my favourite albums and this is probably my favourite single from it (though all the singles are incredible). I know you tend to only react to the songs that have music videos, but I would honestly recommend This Time Imperfect, because that song remains one of my top five favourite songs of all time. Not just AFI songs, but ALL songs. It’s beautiful.
Alex: I got this fucked up sleep cycle like going to bed at 3 Me looks at clock: oh it's 8:40 in the morning again Looks like today is yesterday yet again lol
You digging My Chemical Romance and AFI makes me feel like you really missed out on the early to mid 2000s my dude
SAME! This is all my high school music (I say even as I have these exact songs on my current iPod) and every time he reacts to something from back then I'm just like "Child, you were deprived!" lol
Better late than never, haha.
Yea the last days of talented artists. Sad top 40 taking over the radio
I mean how old is Alex? Mid 20s tops? He still wouldve been a bit too young during the early-mid 00s to understand and listen to alternative kinds of music.

You should check out "silver and cold" by AFI it's a really good song by them
Yessss!!
It’s their best song in my opinion.
Yes please!
The whole album, Sing the Sorrow is awesome! Not really a bad song on it.
YES!
If you’re gonna check out more AFI check out silver and cold and the leaving song part 2
Love like winter, summer shudder, the interview
Totalimmortal And Days if the Phoenix
17 Crimes and ASDC from Burials!
You’d enjoy AFI’s “Love Like Winter” music video - it’s a work of art!
Oh yeah man. it's beautiful! And hype, and headbang!
"Silver and Cold." It'll hit you like a Mack truck.
More like a Duece and a half
Absolutely one of their best. Up there with "A Single Second" for me. I love how with AFI they do have some more popular songs, but pretty much every fan has different favourites and there is no consensus of "this is there best song" like a lot of other bands.
Such a damn good band.
Dangggg😭😂
Yes! I was thinking to myself about what he should do next and silver and cold is the answer.
The Leaving Song Pt. 2 next please. That’s the best song on this album.
Wrong
I second this.
Gotta be the live version though. :)
Zack Clark that’s cool. You can disagree. That’s the beauty of music. What song would you say is the best?
I hardly disagree with that statement ("...But Home is Nowhere" is the best track of STS, imo).
But yeah, he definitely should react to that 🌚
'Silver and Cold' and 'Beautiful Thieves' for sure man, you gotta.
Just got my "Beautiful Thieves" Necklace in the mail. Super excited to finally have AFI jewelry.
Davey Havoc is the voice of a generation, and I mean that as a compliment.
well...that comment in and of itself is an actual compliment...
@@IamRaloPib fair point. For some reason when I wrote it I thought it might be misconstrued as some kind of back-handed comment.
Have you heard his new stuff? Love it so much!
On a lot of songs he sounded like the second coming of Glen Danzig
@@amberhoward7807 if your talking about the side project with the band no doubt the band I think he is better off sticking with afi. But if you mean new afi then I agree afi can never fail they play very well off each other.
AFI - The Leaving Song Part 2.
Definitely this one
Definitely. Fucking do it!
Brooooo...he's gotta
yaaaaaas pleaseeeeee
endlessly she said??
Love Like Winter. You have to react to it bud. Such a wonderful and powerful song.
Such a fun song that was technically meant for Blaqk Audio which accidentally helped me discover Blaqk Audio and gave me another great band to love.
AFI - The Leaving Song pt II!!!
Literally the whole "Sing the Sorrow" album
Especially the secret track at the end "this time imperfect".
Beautifully composed album
Joe i remember i went to an AFI concert and they did this song and I openly weeped, it was magical
best album of all time in my opinion
death of seasons 🥰
HIM - Wings of a Butterfly
Agreed 100%
Or Buried Alive By Love!
*bam margera busts in* DID SOMEBODY SAY HIM!?
YES!
oh my GOD HIM!!!!
AFI is an amazing band that is ever evolving. Sing the Sorrow was a lighting strike of an album. So incredibly special
First time I heard AFI was “The boy who destroyed the world” in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater soundtrack, Alex should totally check that song out!
^this^
YES
Same! One of their best!
Oh shit yeah same. So many good songs in that game
exactly! or total immortal from older real punky sound
AFI was one of my favorite bands in highschool! They have a bunch of great songs, check out Death of Seasons. My ultimate favorite song by them!🖤
Alex “Yo change ups!”
Me “Welcome to AFI bud”
True story: I know you reacted to miss murder already, but Davey havok from this video and miss murder made me want to do hair when I got older, and now I’ve been doing hair for about 8 years now.

If your gonna keep on the emo anthem kick. Gotta listen to "the bird and the worm" by the used
i totally agree with you dude.
and maybe some stuff from saosin don't you think?
AFI is such a dope band. These reactions have been so nostalgic for me. I'm going to download me some.
Dude, you're listening to every single song I used to hear when I was 16-18. A bunch of great memories comes to my mind. Thanks for this, thanks for helping me to remember that I was REALLY happy back in those days. Thanks
Another great AFI song and video is “Silver and Cold”! Amazing song and an emotionally memorable video
“I Hope You Suffer” by AFI!!!!!
Yeah but if he does it's gotta be the Jimmy Havoc tribute video cuz it'd be awesome to watch Alex flip out at death match wrestling 😂
That whole album is underrated!!!
I saw them for the first time ever 3 years ago (after being a fan for 14 years) and I got to hold Davey up with my husband while he sang this song. Best first AFI concert ever.
You should do " Days of the Phoenix " by them
Favorite AFI song hands down
What a song
Hell yes!!!! I cannot help but go nuts when that song comes on. It's just so fun!!!
AFI. The Leaving Song pt 2 next.
Keep going with AFI!! The farther back you go the better it gets!!
The art of drowning and black sails were my favorite albums by them. Never could get into their later work
Exactly, gotta go way back! When they were still hungry and not making radio songs!
Everything they do is great! I feel blessed to be introduced to them right in the middle, so I'm not really biased. I love everything they've made.
A must see live band. Life changing no matter what age.
Watch AFI Miseria Cantare and The Leaving Song Pt. 2 live at Hard Rock Orlando. The intro to that show and transition into Leaving Song is amazing. Was the first concert I ever attended in 7th grade.
Btw, it is a pro production video through MTV back when they had the live concert series from Hard Rock in early 2000s.
Grew up listening to afi since their punk days! Love them!
Silver and Cold, The Days of the Phoenix, Bleed Black, Third Season, He Who Laughs Last. SO MUCH FIRE FROM AFI!!!!!
I feel like you’d get into Punk, pop-punk and emo as much as you’ve gotten into metal, any rock music really! It just keeps pulling you in further 😂❤️❤️🤘🏼
Dude you have to do like 20 reactions a day, can't get enough of them lol these are all my bands. Let's gooo. The Used Buried Myself Alive, Taste of ink. New Found Glory - My Friends Over you. My Chemical Romance - I'm Not OK
AFI - Totalimmortal
Truth I talked about it on my comment😂💯
That's the era of AFI everyone should be checking out first.
In Flames - Come Clarity ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Trigger
Pinball Map!!
Jotun
This is a hella Great song. Listen to it at least 20 times a day
Aw dude! Yes!
Avenged Sevenfold - Save Me
They won an MTV music video award for this one back in 2003 - did a live show with MTV around that time too - it was awesome!
If you're really digging AFI, "Dancing Through Sunday", "Medicate", "Love Like Winter", and "Beautiful Thieves" are all excellent songs to check out.
AFI- Leaving Song Pt 2
AFI was one of the funnest concerts I ever went to, those dudes were lit.
Fucking right dude. AFI and 10 years are easily the best concerts I've ever been to.
Probably seen them 30 times...the best was at a venue called the brickworks in Chico CA right around the middle of the art of drowning touring cycle. It was an amazing set list in a tiny venue that had a 2nd level that people used to stage dive.
Right?! Lit af.
You need to react to Not Falling by Mudvayne and Remedy by Seether.
Definitely needs to check out Not Falling by Mudvayne!!!
He would love those songs
Hi Arik
all of seether, all of mudvayne, all of afi, all of nin :)
Hello.
As I Lay Dying: Nothing Left. Then a follow up reaction of As I Lay Dying: The Sound of Truth. The videos go together and are amazing!
AFI God Called in sick Today
Member of the Despair Faction here.
I remember this was the first song I ever heard by AFI and I couldn't stop listening to their music, its SO good
Keep them coming!! The further you go back, the more you'll see AFI's punk roots.
All That Remains - The Air that I Breathe
Anything from All That Remains or Kill Switch Engaged.
Yes please!! The music video is dope
There are no words to describe how much I love AFI.
Watch " Love Like Winter " by AFI next!! One of my faves

Prayer Position and God Called in Sick Today are some of their less celebrated moments of genius imo
You should check out “Silver and Cold” or “Dancing through Sunday” by AFI
Yes.
Yes!!!! Such a good song!!! Thank you for posting this!! Have had such a bad and bad month but this at least made me smile. Thank you, Alex!!!!
Your video reaction was amazing. You put into video what I was never able to capture: my reaction to AFI when I first saw this (my first intro to them) which made me fall in love with them 17 years ago and I'm still a huge fan of them.

Also, probably another unpopular opinion, but sing the sorrow and DECEMBERUNDERGROUND are my go to albums for afi, I love all of their stuff but those are my preferred albums.
"This time imperfect" is the best song in their catalogue and must be respected.
Damm alex u listening to AFI is giving me memories of my teen years i had long since forgotten thank u😇 i haven't listen to AFI in years forgot how good they are..keep up the good work man
Yes! More AFI. You should react to I hope you suffer by them.
Also, some more HIM or fozzy would be dope 😄
Lots of people have already said this but "Love Like Winter" and "Silver and Cold" are AFI classics! The best songs and videos imo.
Never knew Havok had such luscious long hair. I've only ever seen him with short hair lol.
He can rock any hairstyle, devil locks from the Art of Drowning era is best, IMO
Some people may say that this era wasn’t really much for music, however AFI did have insane vocals and catchy melodies, I’m going down memory lane with you buddy👍🏻🔥
Best album.
My first was The Art of Drowning - God Called in Sick Today
The Days of the Phoenix one of the best off art of drowning
Black Sails in the Sunset, easily.
God Called in Sick Today is on Black Sails in the Sunset, not The Art of Drowning
Art of Drowning and All Hallows was peak AFI easily
Matthew Ellis oh shit... you’re right. I feel dumb lol
The energy from the band in this video is how they perform live, it’s freaking fantastic 👏🏻
Goth suggestion: The Birthday Massacre. "In The Dark," "Blue," or "Superstition."
Badass Canadian fusion rock - gotta love 'em!
Sing The Sorrow is an epic album. There's an amazing hidden track at the end. It's called This Time Imperfect. There's also some great poetry, with music. Not to mention, all the other tracks are awesome. I very highly recommend, buying or downloading the album.
Attack Attack!
"Stick Stickly"
"Smokahontas"
"The Wretched"
"The Revolution"
"Last Breath"
Do not do this garbage tbh
yes plssssss
God please no
Stick stickly for the crabcore and Smokahontas because I think that's a genuinely good song too lol
Dude... same. I wake up hella early, think, "well I'll be tired tonight, so I'll go to sleep early." and my stoopid ass STILL watches Netflix until like 1-2 in the A.M.
This is a new one for me, and I'm glad we experienced this together. I knew like two AFI songs, and this weren't one of 'em.
Awesome sound, crazy video, all around good time.
WHOA?! That Spongebob F-bomb!
Simon, if you're reading this, I believe in you, guy. Kick nic(otines) ASS!
You should check out Days of the Phoenix by AFI. One of my faves.
Oh man, I'm definitely going on an AFI binge now.
same!
August Burns Red - Invisible Enemy ❤️
OMG thank you bro :D I belive this was my request ! :D awesome bro :D
You need to check out Davey & Jade’s other band “Blaqk Audio”.
second this!!!!
Don’t forget about Xtrmst.
IM SO EXCITED THAT YOU MADE THIS!
leaving song pt. II and silver and cold are just as amazing!
Dude! Check out Poppy - I Disagree. It'll surprise the HELL out of you!
Lol! I still remember the day when I put the cd inside my walkman after I purchased it at Walmart. I was at the back seat of the car eating some doritos and drinking a dr pepper. I was a nice trip.
Some old school AFI here bro. Love this song
saw these guys on your with rise against and anti flag. One of the best live performances I've see. All the long emo looks are gone and these peoples looking hella clean. Afi's singer never stopped running around and jumping for like an hour. dudes got so much energy. So much fun
AFI's Silver and Cold, now!
AFI - The Boy Who Destroyed The World. Classic AFI at their best.
'Silver and Cold' & 'The Leaving Song Pt. 2' are great ones as well!
So happy you made it to AFI
Love them
I saw them play this before their encore touring behind this album at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago back in 2003. Breakdown during the bridge was magical.
They had Bleeding Through and Hot Water Music opening. That show was a trip.
Can we take amount to appreciate just how long AFI have been around for, there first EP dropped 1993, like they have grown and changed SO much in that time it's insane
Always good reactions Alex!! Loving the content.
Nothing can fully prepare you for the epicness of One-eyed Doll - Committed Directors cut
My favourite RUclipsr reacting to my favourite AFI song. I hope you're having a dope-ass day, Alex! Thanks for this video, always entertaining.
I'm loving these AFI reactions so much!!! Please keep it up!
Will always have a place in my heart for AFI and Davey Havoc. Brings back middle school memories
I have that, wake up, and like damn go to bed early, and i stay up later...
That entire album is great from start to finish.
Okay, I LOVE that you reacted to this song. Sing The Sorrow remains one of my favourite albums and this is probably my favourite single from it (though all the singles are incredible). I know you tend to only react to the songs that have music videos, but I would honestly recommend This Time Imperfect, because that song remains one of my top five favourite songs of all time. Not just AFI songs, but ALL songs. It’s beautiful.
First song from them I ever listened to and I found it while I was listening to rock band vids. Opened the gates for me to punk heaven.
You're last AFI reaction really had me listening to this song last week all over again
Alex: I got this fucked up sleep cycle like going to bed at 3
Me looks at clock: oh it's 8:40 in the morning again Looks like today is yesterday yet again lol
My cousin showed me this back when i was 11, shit changed my life stg lmao made me love tempo changes
I still have all my AFI. CD since they were popular in the 90. My teens loved them. They were imaginative, wake up.
"Break Angels" AFI. It's such a great song! 😁
The Pretty Reckless! Either "Death by Rock and Roll" or "Heaven Knows"
He'd like the Pretty Reckless 💯✔
Your making my high school heart burst with awesomeness!!!!!😭😭😭🤩🤩🤩
Damn, to be in junior high all over again and rediscover this band.
AFI'S Love like winter is a must
aiden last sunrise was one of my favorites from this type of music.
Bed at midnight to 130am every night and then up at 7am and not home till 6pm. Rinse and repeat! Im so beat!
