I rarely see someone else who loves both their punk material and their alternative stuff, glad to see this video wasn't just praising their old stuff but also their 2000s+ stuff!
@aidenwoulffe3704 I appreciate the comment and for me over the course of my years being on this planet. I've listened to rock music more than any other music and I ventured off into so many different styles and have never frowned upon any genre. If I didn't really like it I didn't listen to it as much as maybe others, but for me there was no walls or barriers, It's all badass to me. Mainstream or underground doesn't matter. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
Loved this video!! AFI is my all time favorite band. Decemberunderground came out when I was in high school and no exaggeration, that album changed my life. One of the things that I love and respect most about them is how their sound evolves as they mature. It’s sometimes a little hit and miss-I think Crash Love is a little misunderstood but is mostly strong and I wasn’t blown away by Bodies even though there are a handful of songs I love on it-but I respect that they’re never going to do the same thing twice. Burials is an underrated masterpiece and it’s hard to overstate how Sing the Sorrow is literal perfection. It’s been years since I’ve seen them live but I need to catch them on tour next time. Thanks for this video!!
@lamentforboromir7145 You absolutely hit the nail on the head. They've definitely evolved as they've aged and just done everything so well at each phase of their career, definitely love the comment. Also thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
Once again coming in with another all time favorite band of mine! I stopped following when they released December Underground, not to say they got bad but it just wasn't for me. I got to meet them backstage in Fargo back when they toured for Sing the Sorrow. Davey ripped up a cardboard box, I got everyone's autograph. First time I ever met a band! Best experience ever! Also helped one of the members of Rufio hand out flyers, which got me in free for their show the week after. Sadly I wasn't able to make it. Great video man!
@@dustintornabrne5536 Awesome, I really appreciate the comment and definitely one of my all time favorites as well and same for me, the first time I met any of the members of the band it was right after the release of Sing the Sorrow , but I meet them a few times after that , definitely a great band definitely paid their dues to get to where they were and where they are. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
@DortmundtHorror Absolutely love the comment. I've seen them more than 10 times and they've never disappointed. I absolutely love the band and as they've grown, they've evolved in an amazing way so absolutely awesome. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
@RockTalkWithMike that was the first video of yours that we caught, but we love the band and enjoyed your video, so we subscribed. We'll watch more. We just saw them again this month! August 3rd, we caught them in Nashville and we're seeing Blacq Audio in September!! I've seen them 11 times so far, and we'll continue to go to literally every tour they do. We absolutely love AFI and always have! You nailed it, they never disappoint!!
@DortmundtHorror Again I really appreciate the comments, that absolutely helps the channel. Been doing the channel a little over a year now and having a blast trying to grow this thing. Doing everything solo with no experience when I started could be part of this issue for the slow growth but still love doing it. But again thanks for the Interaction and the support 🤙 🙏
@DortmundtHorror Absolutely.I appreciate it, and I checked out your channel, definitely gives me Grimm Life Collective vibes, not sure if you know that channel but just keep grinding and do what feels right so long as you don't give up you should be well on your way to what you want.
I discovered them in 2002. Bought Sing the Sorrow. It was such a unique sound. I never heard anything like it before. Still one of my favorite bands to this day. I started collecting cd's 2 years ago. I went on Ebay and bought all of AFI's early albums. I'm still discovering music from them.
@@wantsome-zs5sq They're definitely a great band who has evolved from where they started at and like I said, I got into them right before high school and ever since then, I just couldn't get enough of them. Definitely one of my favorite bands of all time. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
AFI is a great band. Start listening to them in 1999. I really enjoyed their Punk sound, but when's black sails in the sunset came out it blow me away. I would listen to that album over and over again. Then when the art of drowning came out and they first got played on Radio, I was so happy for them. When they made it big for sing of sorrow, I was so excited. That was the first time I went to see them play live. I totally agree with you. I continue to like AFI not because of davey but before their music. AFI 🔥 🔥 🔥.
@@ginacaballero9380 I really appreciate you taking the time to comment and I'm like you.The first time I heard them, I was blown away and instantly hooked.And i've been a fan ever since, seen them so many times. Just something different and unique about them compared to other bands. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
First song I ever heard was Totalimmortal, saw the video on MTV X (anybody remember that?! 😅) and was hooked ever since and bought The Art of Drowning that weekend. My favorite song to this day also homie. Still love this band so much, their music means alot to me. Great video man, we have a bunch of the same favorites among the AFI catalog! 🤘 You earned my sub brother. 🦇🖤🦇
@blackphillip8486 Thanks, man, I really appreciate the comment also again like you said, they're special to me. Bring back a lot of memories and totalimmortal has been my favorite song since the moment I heard it, but they got so many, great songs and they put on a hell of a show live. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
@@RealWaltDisney Appreciate the comment and no doubt in my opinion, they are definitely one of those bands who have absolutely evolved to great extreme over their career but with each evolution they never faltered on being just as good as they were before. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
I love when people are so passionate about something that they struggle to put it into words... Because the combination of words doesn't exist to sufficiently express their passion. Can't fake that shit. Love it, bro. Beautiful...
Couldn't have said that anymore beautiful myself. I absolutely love what you had to say there, and again, thank you for the comment and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
That's awesome. I appreciate you sharing that. I've met all four of the guys that are currently with the band but never to the extent of serious conversation or even having them drink with them which would be completely awesome but yeah definitely would love to hear the stories. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
Have been a fan since black sails and enjoyed the older stuff. December underground was very profound for cuz I was in the army and it was pretty muc the soundtrack of my year in Iraq. I still enjoy everything they have put out since and I do enjoy a lot of what came out of blaqk audio. Bands changed and people grow up and i can't hate on anyone for that. They are a very creative group and passionate about what they do. And the song prayer position is fricken amazing. I love putting it on in my car and just belting out to it. "OF IN THE DISTANCE THERES A GATHERING!" Total immortal is another awesome song and i loved when the offspring covered it. I share all of the same sentiments that you do. And yes i have an AFI tattoo
@kalandarkclaw8892 That entire comment is awesome man and I appreciate you for sharing. It's cool that the album December Underground can take you back to that moment in time, whether good or bad only you know , but thats the beauty of music in that's why I love it so much, it's an instant time machine. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
@AKZMusic123 I think you might be the only person to notice but as close as it is to Alkalines font this AFI logo was ne they used for some shirts in 2002. So I didn't use the font with any intent it's just one of my favorite logos from one of my favorite AFI shirts but either way I appreciate the comment and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
Leaving song Pt 2 to Girls not grey/ Miss Murder. Spelled wrong or not, I followed AFI from 97 to 2016 and love everything they did. A fire inside? Dunno, dont care. Solid tunes.
@fuzzylumpkins6034 Absolutely love the comment and thank you for taking the time to watch the video. Really appreciate it, also thanks for supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
I've absolutely enjoyed the evolution of AFI. I've enjoyed just about everything they have put out but I will admit that December underground is my least favorite and I struggle to even listen to it when I go back and listen to their whole catalog. You forgot to mention that while they were doing black audio he also started a screamo band named xtremists
@TheHEROFamily I can go along the same line as you, December Underground is not in my top 5 when it comes to their albums but even though it's not I have and will always enjoy and love anything the guys put out. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
So crazy like, so many bands are set for life financially (Green Day, blink, My Chem, WEEZER, Fall Out Boy, All Time Low, Good Charlotte, Panic!, Yellowcard, All American Rejects ECT) But I always wonder like… If you play bass in Forever The Sickest Kids, or guitar in Hey Monday, or drum Tokyo Hotel, or a member of Hit The Light, guitar in Boys Like Girls. What the hell do they all do for money when their bands don’t tour anymore. What about anyone in the band “Fountains of Wayne?” 🤔🤔 Like, what the hell have all these guys been doing for money when their bands never really made it through the end of Warped?? AFI aswell like…. Has Davey made enough money to just do whatever he wants for the rest of his life? I assume no. But I wonder how they keep the lights on. Obviously many went to Nashville and do the whole writing thing. But damn I’m always like shit…. Like where is the Readyset been working the last 10 years? Can he still really live off that single from 10+ years ago? I know Jonathan from FTSK when into real estate. Gabe form Cobra Starship, real Estate aswell. I also don’t see any of these egotistical lead singers doing any kind of retail jobs either. Your “Christopher Drew” or “Tyler Carter” or “Craig Owen’s” What about the side members of 30 Seconds To Mars? Who hardly ever tours… 🤔
I sang in a basement with them in Fargo, ND because Davie had a cold and the show got kicked out of the park. 1 of the rare things I remember from being a teenager lol
That is absolutely awesome. My first question has to be, what year was this basement show. Second, are you in a band currently or were you in one at the time and if so what was the name. Either way thanks for the comment and thanks for watching and supporting the channel 🤙 🙏
@@RockTalkWithMike I think it was '96, pretty sure it was their tour to promote Very Proud of Ya. Nah man, no band. I just love shows and it was a combination of the awesomeness of Davie and that he had a bad cold and was losing his voice because of it. Me and my best bro were in front, knew most of the words, so he just pointed the mic. Not much of a story, but a great memory forever.

I'm a huge fan particularly the "sing the sorrow" album. I think it's one of the most quintessential early 00's albums. Incredible band live.
