Given the fallout between AFI and Nitro, their refusal to promote them sufficiently and then dump the compilation in the shadow of STS ? Davey makes but a thin secret of his dislike for Dexter.
ive only worn it once or twice anyway, just ironing my black t shirts today
watching Jade's Hardlore episode, and just saw the part where he talked about going on TRL and jamming w threesix?!?!?!?!?!??!????!??!?!?!?!? WHAT??!?!?!!?
anyway i can't find footage of this anywhere, has anyone seen it?? holy fucking shit i need to see this so bad????!?!?!?!?
I kinda accidentally fell down the rabbit hole of listening to AFI and for the last 3 months I have consistently been one of 2750 people in the world who listen to them so much.
I get that it doesn't mean a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, but I'm pretty happy about it.
I hope I get to see them live soon
Love y'all!
Happy to be in the family now.
If I heard Jade correctly on the HardLore episode, did he say there are a few AFI songs tuned as low as C? It was part of one of the parts where they're chatting about how Davey has had to shift his vocal approach over the years and not sing as high, and Jade mentioned how on a couple things tuned as low as C, Davey was still singing up near the top of his range.
Any other guitarists in here might know what those songs are? I keep most of mine in B or C, and figured if there are AFI songs down in C it would be fun to go learn them.
Side note. I have a ton of AFI ephemera - magazine clippings, inserts, etc ... Would anyone want it? Happy to mail anyone my stack... I feel it's valuable only sentimentally. I feel weird throwing it out but also don't want to keep taking it with me every time I move.
Edit: ephemera likely claimed!
Not the chorus or crazy solo, but man those verses have exactly the tone, the jangle, the vocal intervals and harmonies feel like a Stipe thing, even the tom work in the drums feels like Bill Berry. Not expecting a ton of crossover audience but I'm listening to Blood rn and it jumped out like crazy
I forget which show this was. I know the distillers opened for them.
alright yall its official, Jade confirmed on the latest Hardlore episode they've already tracked vocals and guitars for their new death rock album. Adam and Hunter go into the studio next. I guess it's coming earlier than the usually 4 year wait after all! I'm so hyped
TO GREAT DISBELIEF THERE IS SOMEWHERE WE BELONG
Mine would be blaqk audio style instrumentals with SBTBS type goth vocals mixed with XTRMST style screaming. i dont think this will ever happen but I think it would sound amazing.
Just got Black Sails vinyl in the mail.... I don't know if this is normal or not though. It's on both sides in the same spot. Vinyl is brand new in plastic still.
Seems like the web store quietly updated the estimated shipping date of the DU merch from June 22 to July 10.
I have seen a lot of horror stories involving AFI’s online store, so I’m hoping this is just a minor setback, but thought you all would want to know!
After growing frustrated with not finding anything I deemed cool enough to hang on my walls I ordered my favorite 3 AFI Art Vinyls and had them custom framed, not having any idea how much such a process costs. However, the final product was well worth it and turned out better than I expected.
Current pics of my AFI vinyl wall art shows a little more clutter which I prefer.
