When I met Davey around 1994 he was very respectful to me. I told him if I was in his position I wouldn't be so nice. After shootin the shit back n forth for 20 minutes or so he invited me to the bus they shared with a band named Loose Change. He pulled out a copy of the Nervous Breakdown EP and told me when he heard I was gonna be there he made sure he brought it for me to sign it. Davey's mentality is the complete opposite of the way we were back in the 70s and 80s. A real class act.
I met him in a cafe in Orlando in 04. He was really nice and offered for me to sit and talk with him. I was nervous and made a fool of myself, but since then I have loved the music. I want to work on a documentary of AFI, obviously I wouldn’t be able to get them in it but it’d be a fun project that no one has done yet (as far as I know.)
Yeah it was so dumb how afi got lumped into that whole mall goth faux emo nonsense which they never were. It didn’t help either that they went with that image too. Sing the sorrow is an ok album but it’s so very dated and if it’s time, it doesn’t have a timeless quality like black sails. Post sts was better, of course it’s diffferent from the hardcore stuff but it wasn’t afi trying to be trendy
one of the best shows i've ever been to was AFI, Fury 66, and Good Riddance at Gilman 924 in '98 or '99. first time i saw AFI was in '96. stoked that he dropped all the bay area GOATs( good riddance, fury 66, Swingin Utters, and rancid).
I almost commented that Fury 66 wasnt great, but then realized I was thinking of Screw 32....damn we are getting old. Loved those old shows, $3 and a can of food at the door to see the best bands. Not sure I saw AFI back then. I think I did but it doesnt feel like a reliable memory.
@@Ryattt81 oh....come on bro... Screw 32 was fuckin....SIIICK! their first 2 albums were too rad you reminded me and inspired me to pop in those fuckers in my CD player(haven't listened to them for over a year). who gives a fuck if we're old/getting old, we went to shit tons of shows from $3 upwards to $10! and they were loaded with other bands playing with them! we didn't have our stupid smartphones and social media to distract our asses..we had friends, shows, and chicks! 90s-00's FTW! I've been to so many shows too I can't remember em all, along with my old ass age(40s) hahah
I do miss the days of when AFI wasn't as well known as they are now. They would sit on the stage after their shows, and chat with their fans. It's too bad all the screaming 14 year old girls nowadays ruin the opportunity for them to continue that tradition.
whoa! you can see his actual arm in this! it's not yet covered in tattoos. oh they are funny. jade, you need to speak damnit. 'There's a horse!' love these guys.
Jade also went to UC Berkley. Haha...I remeber a few weeks ago I was watching Tv and they randomly metioned Berkely and I flipped out cuz I got excited and mom was confused!
I love the horse thing. And poor Jade, the first time my friend watched this she was on the phone with me and she's like "Jade's just scratching his ear through the whole thing" Poor dude.I love Davey's arms with no tattoos,, thats a good way to tell how long ago it was xD
Agreed. While I do enjoy STS, I think Black Sails and Art of Drowning were AFI at their best. Their newest garbage "Bodies" I can't even make it through a song, and I've tried again and again because some albums you won't like at first but after a few listens it will grow on you...but nope. Hard to believe how awesome they were and how far they fell. They need to stop trying so hard to appease the 14 year old girls that shop at hot topic and return to form. Burials would have been a really good final album, I enjoy it a lot...but the 2 studio albums after that, I'm not feeling at all.
punk.. i still call it punk now... but it aint punk, really. you cant give afi a genre. davey has done good in my life, plus... erm... please check my channel in bout 1 week. i plan to make a video of my signed poster of afi members apart from adam sighning it. just bear with...
Wow I filmed this 20 years ago at Sparks in Louisville KY I have no clue how it ended up online haha
Dude thats so awesome, thank you for filming this!
Fat-E!
Sick
killer
This was in louisville?!

Loose change rocked. Chon Travis, Jade Puget, Levi, Jevon and Nick Jones now Nick 13. Fun times!
It's not every day you see legends commenting on RUclips videos.

ugh im such a millenial, who is this
@@Itsmoraka one of the singers of black flag
i wish more people knew afi's deep roots in the underground/hxc/sxe scene.
Completely agree

They toured a lot together. Davey often came into the SOIA pit

Whos watching now?2021?
I'm watching now in 2022! I'm surprised j hadn't seen this before!
2024 💥
Wow! Jade doesn't look like my lesbian aunt!
Jade was a gangsta here 🤘🔥
Old,but gold!
Davey in blue hair, omg so cute
"There's a horse!"
classic XD
(8 years later) "Did you think the band would last that long?" 23 years after this interview, on the other hand...
Lol love them. Thanks for this it's awesome. Davey when he forgets what he's gonna say and Jade looks much cooler in those days
lol " you could score!" that was random as hell and funny too.
Jade looks so different
holy crp davey doesnt even have his nbc sleeve yet.
coolest fucking band ever. my god.
I do miss the days of when AFI wasn't as well known as they are now. They would sit on the stage after their shows, and chat with their fans. It's too bad all the screaming 14 year old girls nowadays ruin the opportunity for them to continue that tradition.
Stfu, you should be happy they became bigger
@@MonstrosityFFA i don’t blame them tbh
The So Proud of You days.
I bought that same shirt when i was in High school and still have it! Never knew he had it too haha (bay area native here)
Wow, this IS rare. Davey's right arm is blank.
whoa! you can see his actual arm in this! it's not yet covered in tattoos. oh they are funny. jade, you need to speak damnit. 'There's a horse!' love these guys.
Jade also went to UC Berkley. Haha...I remeber a few weeks ago I was watching Tv and they randomly metioned Berkely and I flipped out cuz I got excited and mom was confused!
He went to UC Berkeley California, not Berkley School of Music in Boston. Different schools, same name. : )
It's Berklee College of Music
Id love to see their nowadays reaction 2 this video,
At the Drive In.
A Backstreet Boys, Nsync, LFO tour headlined by AFI. Let's go.
i'm sure he was joking bro.
@@brockman562 Even if he was, I actually enjoy the boy bands just as I enjoy rock music. So it wasn't sarcasm or anything
Is there a spider on Jade's head? 🕷️
I love the horse thing. And poor Jade, the first time my friend watched this she was on the phone with me and she's like "Jade's just scratching his ear through the whole thing" Poor dude.I love Davey's arms with no tattoos,, thats a good way to tell how long ago it was xD
lol, I like Davey's hair a lot better now.
They're amazing :]
Ok,fine,sorry,the year of the video,how old were dandd jade at this time?not knew 90s albums
omg Davey's wearing a Happy Noodle shirt!! sweet!!!
Intelligent,well spoken,they are what they are, i think ukrainian band 2nd river has common style- me personally want to see a film about afi,or other
Davey and Jade haven’t changed at all.
Daveys appearance obviously has, 🤣 but same chill dudes.
Id like to know what the response was to the last question. Damn.
Whoa, I've never seen his arm w/out the tattoos before. Eerie...
the horse thing was hilarious. and Jade looks soooo bored
So young! 💞
Love this!
Happy Noodle Boy shirt spotted ^__^
Wholesome 👍
Congrats toJade
He's so sweet
Дейви, сколько им лет здесь?
Look there's a horse
Oh hey Ronnie lol
Okay but this is by no means “early AFI”. Early compared to crash love shit... but in the grand scheme of things this is middle era
Why is jade so angry here, lol
Looks like Jade is not having fun
Ahh back in the day when AFI would say they’re from Ukiah. Now they say “Oakland”
Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️😘
2022!дивлюсь
Young Hunter @ 2:15 😍
Goth Boys
cigar...nice tshirt!
Nice
I agree
Sloss Furnaces Birmingham, Al
Nice 👍😊😊😊😊👍😊
what happened to their music....wtf!
Fuckin adorable
Afi
Yeah lol. He was just kinda scratching his whole head. Me too, Davey and Jade are awesome. I love their new look though, back then they were all punk.
Back when they were amazing ... sing the sorrow was when they sold their soul
Sts is amazing, it's probably their best album
The horse !
Agreed. While I do enjoy STS, I think Black Sails and Art of Drowning were AFI at their best. Their newest garbage "Bodies" I can't even make it through a song, and I've tried again and again because some albums you won't like at first but after a few listens it will grow on you...but nope. Hard to believe how awesome they were and how far they fell. They need to stop trying so hard to appease the 14 year old girls that shop at hot topic and return to form. Burials would have been a really good final album, I enjoy it a lot...but the 2 studio albums after that, I'm not feeling at all.
so, they were roughly 22 years old at the time of this being filmed?
