Damaramu Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Are there any AFI fans in the house? I had never really heard them until I heard there cover of the Mistfits "One Last Caress" and then I listened to my friends new AFI CD. Let me say......Davie Havoc is a DAMN good singer. Any other fans around here?
MrRant Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Who in the hell is this AFI? And what the hell does AFI stand for?
Damaramu Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Posted November 10, 2003 Who in the hell is this AFI? And what the hell does AFI stand for? It's a band that's been around for quite some time. And I have no clue what the hell AFI actually stands for.
Nighthawk Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 AFI stands for A Fire Inside. I don't really like them, though.
Matt Young Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I've been a fan ever since I saw them at the 2001 Warped Tour. "Sing The Sorrow' is one of the best albums of the year, and their older shit is great, too. For those wondering what they look like, Nevermortal has a pic of the band in his sig, and for general info on the group, check out www.afireinside.net.
Damaramu Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Posted November 10, 2003 Yeah I saw them at this past Warped Tour....now I wish I had gone to the concert when they passed through town.

Their early stuff is much better than Sing the Sorrow, even if STS has the best intro track out of all of them. The Lead singer has a voice that's very much an acquired taste, sorta like Dani from Cradle of Filth. Favorite songs: "God Called in Sick Today", "Totalimmortal", "Fall Children", "Malleus Malifecarum", "Days of the Phoenix".
Guest Insanityman Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I don't mind them, but there was a period last year when a lot of kids went through a sudden and an unexplained AFI period. Considering the band is far from my favorite- that period got annoying real quick. I was thinking of checking thme out again but I have some other CDs to pick up first.
HollywoodSpikeJenkins Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I like Sing the Sorrow and Shut Your Mouth and Open You're Ears. Never heard the whole Black Sails in the Sunset or any other album. "Miseria Cantare" and "Silver and Cold" = awesomeness.
Damaramu Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Posted November 10, 2003 Yeah I know the period. It's the period when one of there videos is played on MTV and everyone goes "Man...I've heard one song........BEST BAND EVER!" I hope this never happens to any of my other bands.
Guest Insanityman Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Which song got onto MTV a year or so ago? Yeah, I live in fear of "new Rancid fans" because they have some shitty video out.

"Miseria Cantare" and "Silver and Cold" = awesomeness. *Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes I'm not a big fan of their earlier work (Answer That through Shut Your Mouth), but once the self-titled EP came out, its some really, really good shit. As a sidebar, anyone here like Tiger Army?
Nevermortal Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Which song got onto MTV a year or so ago? Yeah, I live in fear of "new Rancid fans" because they have some shitty video out. Girl's Not Grey came out around February of 2003, the only other video on MTV they had before that was Days of the Phoenix, if you could possibly grab a 3 AM showing of it.
Damaramu Posted November 10, 2003 Author Report Posted November 10, 2003 Oh god.....please for the love of god don't let any High Schoolers run around going "I LOVE RANCID! I'M PUNK ROCK!" *prays* I will have to get my fag beating stick for that one.
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I don't like 'em at all, but I like the Strokes, so i guess no one is infallible.
LaParkaYourCar Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I love Sing the Sorrow, but I haven't heard any of their other stuff. The hidden track on Sing the Sorrow is one of the creepiest things I've ever heard.
Guest Frank The Tank Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I've become a huge fan. I first heard Girls Not Gray and thought it was okay, then I heard Leaving Song Pt. 2 and thought it was better. Than I bought Sing The Sorrow and I think it was the best cd I've heard all year. Now I have all of the albums, and they all are great. My favorite album is probably The Art Of Drowning. My favorite songs are Wester, Total Immortal, Miseria Cantare, Days Of The Phoenix, Death Of Seasons, Bleed Black, The Nephilim, Battled, The Last Kiss, The Prayer Position, and shitloads of more.
Guest Doyo Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 (edited) Oh god.....please for the love of god don't let any High Schoolers run around going "I LOVE RANCID! I'M PUNK ROCK!" That already kinda happened a few years ago when "Ruby Soho" was a big hit song. Rancid have had platinum albums, they are far from being some underground band. Edited November 10, 2003 by Doyo
Guest Doyo Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 (edited) oops double post Edited November 10, 2003 by Doyo

Sounds like the chorus from "Destination Unknown" by Mest to me...but I'm probably wrong.
CanadianChris Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 AFI stands for A Fire Inside. I don't really like them, though. Oh, ok. I was wondering what the hell a thead on the American Film Institute was doing in the Music folder.
rising up out of the back seat-nuh Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I don't like 'em at all, but I like the Strokes, so i guess no one is infallible. The Strokes > AFI That is all.
Nevermortal Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I don't like 'em at all, but I like the Strokes, so i guess no one is infallible. The Strokes > AFI That is all. Yeah, in the bizarro world. The Strokes need to fire their producer because I can barely hear the fucker's vocals in the new song. Oh, about the Rancid thing... Ruby Soho's chorus goes "Destination Unknown, Ruby Ruby Ruby Ruby Soho".
Guest The Winter Of My Discontent Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Yeah, in the bizarro world. The Strokes need to fire their producer because I can barely hear the fucker's vocals in the new song. I think thats the style they are shooting for, but nice try.

I think thats the style they are shooting for, but nice try. What style would that be, inaudible electro-noise?
Nevermortal Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I really shouldn't be knocking low vocals seeing as I enjoy Darkthrone and what not, but still.....The Strokes are ghey, and I have no concrete evidence to back that up, so I'll just sit here and champion one of my favorite bands, AFI. Champion indeed, chaps.
Guest Random Hero Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 I'll add to the championing. The new album is smashingly good. It's one of only 2 Albums I have that I like every single song on. The other being 'King For a Day' by Faith No More.
PLAGIARISM! Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 Good live band. I've grown tired of them on record.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 They remind me of Graves era misfits, only not as potent.
