Ha. I was a little kid back then. I have my older brother to thank for introducing me to punk rock. Before Davey HavoK wore gold stilettos. Still listen to the same music and albums. Socail Distortion - Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell, AFI - Very Proud of Ya Rancid... You guys were pioneers before RUclips
Everything is a product of its time and condition. Music like this today, from guys that have been playing in a band for 30 years, wouldn't make sense... the context would be off. Like Bruce Springsteen singing about union dues or whatever.
Me too there last good one in my thoughts are Black sails and Art of Drowning even got a nice Halloween piece from there All Hallows Ep Loved old Afi an glad I got to see the old songs live check out Thought Riot hun they have a similar sound and are great but more local i think. Have a great Fall season:)
I listened to this at 14 and now I'm 28 years old, still feeling the same exact spark it gave me then. I've been listening to it for half of my life now. Still never ceases to spark that fire inside.
I feel the same way with Third Season. Saw it on a public access channel in Chicago in 7th grade and was possessed afterwards to find as much as I could. I’m 35 now and these two songs still make me wanna break shit
I really enjoy the old-timey horror movie vibe this has with the low grade, black and white, flickering video quality. There's also something quite endearing about the stiff acting, low-budget props and standing in the graveyard posing.
Hope unknown, sometimes just waking is surreal I pass right through the nameless ones I know that hope's unknown, sometimes the water feels so real As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god I'm drowning This day never seems to end This pain, never This day never seems to end This rage I cannot let go I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul So alone, sometimes I swear that I can hear The taunting of the voiceless ones I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel That they're alone inside this place, I am the misplaced This pain, never This day never seems to end This rage I cannot let go I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul Now every face looks familiar Found every face would melt away until now Everyone, do you know? I know your deception Now every face looks familiar Found every face would melt away until now Everyone, do you know? I know your deception I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul I hear them calling my name I feel them gnawing out holes All throughout my flawless soul
This is when I discovered A.F.I. one of my top 5 all time songs and videos. Still sounds and look's kool November 7 ,2019. Love A.F.I. and how they've evolved over the years.👍😎🐶
The music felt nostalgic then, now it feels like a ghost from a time that haunts us and provides welcome companionship. How I long to return to those golden days.
Those who grew up in L.A in the mid to late 90s will remember Rodney on the Rocks premiering this on his late show and how fucking glorious it was. What a time to be alive❤❤❤
i remember watching this on mtv when i was in my early teens. they were playing it a lot when girls not grey came out. loved both. its weird because years later I'd become a (danzig era) misfits fan and ive just only just realised how inspired by them they were.
Jeez, I remember downloading this video on Kazaar and it taking like about two weeks to download. It was awesome then and it's still awesome (though that leather shirt - yikes!)
+Andy Roast this cracked me up. I think it was Kazaa though. Not Kazaar. I could be wrong though. Either way, that memory cracked me up. I would wake up every morning for school and check on my downloads.
This reminds me I used to have the AFI shirt that had the skull on the front and 'I hate punk rock" on the back. It was meant to be sarcastic... but then as they transitioned out of that sound I had to stop wearing it.
Well I didnt need to feel like an old fart today but I guess here we are. So many people even my age (30's) dont know that AFI started in 1991 as a punk band.
This is and always will be their best song ever. This was my introduction to AFI, and I thankfully was able to witness the last few years of their best era before they started to go downhill.
davey's hair=AWESOME jusayin. this song is awesome!!!!!!! i love it!!!! this is also one of my favorite music videos! (how do you not love a music video with ppl walking around graveyards?! seriously!!?)
@@micheller.2049 90s Hardcore Punk was very much a thing. And AFI even called themselves a Hardcore band. A lot of their shirts say East Coast Hardcore on their logo lol. And I know 80s hardcore too, a lot of good stuff back then. Always loved Negative Approach, 7-Seconds, Minor Threat, ect. ✌🏻
This is the song that got me into AFI, along with the Black Sails album. I was a teenager and could appreciate the angst. I still love this song, but I have arced along with the evolution of the band. Heart Stops and The Conductor and Rewind manage to capture my mood the same way Third Season or At a Glance did.
Definitely has a Misfits feel to it overall haha I love that The Offspring did a cover of this. I wish more bands did that it seems like a fun idea to cover one of your peers songs.
to feel the words...to have lived them...knowing that there will be days i live them still..brings to the heart mind and soul...a feeling of romance. What can a bird do but sing, on a rainy day. Take flight from within in knowing its merely the rain and not a seemingly long forgotten storm. There truly is poetry in despair. When we need it most, sometimes despair becomes poetry itself. There are those who see the rain and become sad..and .. then a few who dance and shout like children with joy as thunder crashes all around. Ive found myself almost every time...dancing..breaking things ...letting go with the falling of the rain...
And FYI it doesn't make sense for you to consider them as "sell-outs" they're not making music for popularity, money, or attention. If they did, they would be more widely known and you would hear more of their music in the mainstream.
Hope unknown. Sometimes just waking is surreal. I walk right through the nameless ones. I know that hope's unknown. Sometimes the water feels so real. As I walk through it fills my lungs, my god, I'm drowning. This day never seems to end. This pain, never. The rage I can not let go. I hear them calling my name. I feel them gnawing out holes through flawless souls. So alone. Sometimes I swear that I can hear the taunting of the voiceless ones. I fear that I alone fear those who finally ceased to feel that they're alone inside this place. I am the misplaced. Now every face, it looks familiar... then every face would melt away until... now everyone, do you know, I know your deception?
Damn, I just realized what an impact this band had on me as a pre-teen. I fully downloaded this video on Kazza back in the day. I don’t have the devil lock anymore but 30 something me still rocks black or white T’s black jeans and the energy from this video 😂
It can mean you are selling out to sell more records. But I don't think AFI had that in mind. I just don't like that they do not want people listening to their first few records, because they dont play that type of music anymore. I personally like those records( and a few singles ) they are their best ones( imo )
@@t.n.3819 Then what else? If every band who's changed style has sold out then what's even the point? Just let people do what they want. You 100% genuinely cannot expect every band to ever exist to just wanna do the same style/genre as their first record for the rest of their career.
I first heard of this band through Crash Love, and I was amazed. But this song, this collection of tangible energy, this is frecking epic. It re-awakens a nostalgic feeling of childhood deep inside me that I've missed for so long, and i'm still 13!
I love AFI for being unafraid to change their sound and explore new elements. A band that plays it safe and sticks to one recognizable sound becomes stale and more of an act than a band. I started listening to AFI in the Decemberunderground era and I dug deeper into their beginning albums and I've loved them all. And honestly, Crash love isn't too drastic of a stretch for them so I don't understand all the hate they get now. Davey's still poetic and theatrical as he's always been.
@IWillSurviveTheHighFive CauseIAmResilient I only saw your reply because an annoying little pop up notification on my computer screen. I ultimately do not care and was only amusing myself
your right, e verything goes in cycles, circles really, and they just keep spinning out and out and out until they have nothing to base themselves on, and then they crumble, and start again...thats the secret truth of life no one seems to realize..i love you
I find it incredible that some people honestly seem to want AFI to a.) rehash the same thing over and over, every album (and if they did, I expect most people would instead be complaining that they had no originality) and b.) still be the same as they were ten, twenty years ago... And if AFI had really 'sold out' as people claim, wouldn't they be majorly mainstream and on the radio all the time? They had that brief period of being well known with DU, but then became pretty obscure again. When it comes right down to it, they're not trying to please anyone. They don't make the music they think their fans will like, they make the music they like. To ask them to do otherwise would be to ask them to disregard their own desires. We may be fans, but we're not entitled to anything, least of all to have them make the music we want them to make.
it's not that they want to make music that they like, it's that they keep changing every album so people don't get tired of them. I mean look at bands like Cradle of Filth, or Marilyn Manson. Those bands, they're getting a little boring because they've been doing the same act for 15, 20 years now. think about it.
This song really was a turning point for them. You can hear the hints of everything that would culminate on Sing the Sorrow. For better or worse, because they really began to shed their hardcore roots. Whatever gives them artistic satisfaction I suppose.
I love AFI, I love anything they do. I love their music like this, I love their music like sing the sorrow and Decemberunderground the most though because that is the genre that I like to listen to. That is why they branched out, different people like different music and they knew that they wouldn't gain as many fans as they would changing their genre to a slightly more popular genre than if they stayed the same. To me everything AFI has made is amazing.
Sid TheFilthyBastard Their concerts never have "only highschool girls," so I'm not sure where you're getting your demographic information from, but it is false. And sellouts? Changing style of music is not necessarily equivalent to selling out. They two can be related, but trying to figure out whether they are related or not in this case would be pure speculation on either side. But, would it matter if they were "sellouts?" And if it does, why? This is not only their job, but their career. I readily expect them to try to make money off of it.
AFI was and will always be the best band. Makes me sad to see people dissing their new stuff. I understand not liking the sound, but if you truly appreciate them you will like them for who they are, their old music, and their new music. If the music style bothers you, understandable...however, their lyrics are still just as great and in some cases even better.
They haven't sold out. How could they when they never bought in? They write for themselves, the fact that many happen to like it? That's a bonus. I can't believe some of you people! If you don't like something, don't listen to it or go to a show. Why would you go onto a public forum and bash any artist for what they pull from their souls to share with the world? What the fuck have you haters offered up that's as good or better?
Iluvturtles Not sold out, but All Hallows EP was the last music they made that I (and many of the original, long-term fans) liked. Developing as musicians is a good thing and inevitable, but I hate the direction they chose to take over the last 15 or so years. Evolving: Propagandhi is doing it right, AFI is doing it wrong. My opinion anyway.
This was my favorite era of AFI
Same.

Changing genres/evolving your sound does not equal selling out. AFI have always made the music they want to make.
It can mean you are selling out to sell more records.
But I don't think AFI had that in mind. I just don't like that they do not want people listening to their first few records, because they dont play that type of music anymore.

If it doesn’t look like it’s been recorded on someone’s Motorola razor that’s been outside in a forest for the past 4 years then it’s not black metal
@@roycewinters6539 so stupid lol
Huh?? Nah Sir they are batter than that trash genre 🤙🏽
OK I want his shirt thingy that he is wearing but cant find it. Can someone help me? And the pants if you can. Thanks
You fuckers. I can't unhear THIS BANANA now after more than half of my life of listening to this song 😂
I know it's a very old comment, but you are a wonderful person. Thumbs up.
This song really was a turning point for them. You can hear the hints of everything that would culminate on Sing the Sorrow. For better or worse, because they really began to shed their hardcore roots. Whatever gives them artistic satisfaction I suppose.
This is just one of those songs that I love that I'll want to hear over and over again.
Davey Havok doing his best Glenn Danzig impression.
This song never gets old. Goat status.
misfits were the role model to AFI, just listen the track "I wanna get a mohawk"
Love you Jade. Think of you often. Glad it's going well for you and AFI
I love AFI, I love anything they do. I love their music like this, I love their music like sing the sorrow and Decemberunderground the most though because that is the genre that I like to listen to. That is why they branched out, different people like different music and they knew that they wouldn't gain as many fans as they would changing their genre to a slightly more popular genre than if they stayed the same. To me everything AFI has made is amazing.
First heard them back in 2002 and it’s now 2020 and they are STILL my favorite band, but their old stuff.
Changing style of music is not selling out if they want to do it because they feel its right.

Their concerts never have "only highschool girls," so I'm not sure where you're getting your demographic information from, but it is false.
And sellouts? Changing style of music is not necessarily equivalent to selling out. They two can be related, but trying to figure out whether they are related or not in this case would be pure speculation on either side.
But, would it matter if they were "sellouts?"
And if it does, why? This is not only their job, but their career. I readily expect them to try to make money off of it.
I miss this SO much!!
old afi is my favorite
Holy Shit! These guys really rocked out in the good old days.
Single handed the greatest AFI song ever hands down. There newer "emo" phase sells records but just isnt them.
Warp tour 2000!
If Danzig fronted early-mid 90s era Offspring, this is what it would sound like.
This song I believe will always stand the test of time of being,
One of the Best Punk Songs Ever!
Just a Great fucking song!
I am 100% "Offspring"'s fan, but I like this original version much-much-more, than their cover.
Same here
AFI was and will always be the best band. Makes me sad to see people dissing their new stuff. I understand not liking the sound, but if you truly appreciate them you will like them for who they are, their old music, and their new music. If the music style bothers you, understandable...however, their lyrics are still just as great and in some cases even better.
They haven't sold out. How could they when they never bought in? They write for themselves, the fact that many happen to like it? That's a bonus. I can't believe some of you people! If you don't like something, don't listen to it or go to a show. Why would you go onto a public forum and bash any artist for what they pull from their souls to share with the world? What the fuck have you haters offered up that's as good or better?
Iluvturtles Not sold out, but All Hallows EP was the last music they made that I (and many of the original, long-term fans) liked. Developing as musicians is a good thing and inevitable, but I hate the direction they chose to take over the last 15 or so years. Evolving: Propagandhi is doing it right, AFI is doing it wrong. My opinion anyway.
+Capnsensible80 pfff long term fans like me LOVE everything AFI has done and will do. You're fan of a specific sound and era, not a fan of the band.
l0lw00td4v3 Wrong. I can still like the band and hope them the best without liking the direction their music took.
Alright, so Davey had the best hair in all of punk rock right? Like damn dude, that is great hair
Fun fact . Davey Havok's house is painted BLACK.
at the end of my cul de sac
Spike is smashed twice a week at karaoke night
2022 i eu aqui ouvindo mais uma vez essa obra de arte.
i FREAKING love AFI, but i cant understand what he's saying at all x.x Sounds like he bit his tongue =X
his name is Hunter Burgen..he's also in two side projects called Hunter's Revenge and The Frisk
so much misfits influenced am I right?
