When and what was it that first got you into AFI? For me I got into them in middle school. I had always heard their songs on the radio on KROQ but I never paid attention to when the DJs said who sang that song. Eventually I got the game Guitar Hero and when I saw Miss Murder on there and looked up who AFI was I realized these were the people singing my favorite songs on the radio. I always heard their songs from Sing The Sorrow and since I found out who they were I became obsessed and always saw their music videos on MTV before school started.

I've been listening to a lot of AFI lately because I'm seeing them next month...I was listening to Love Like Winter and just so happened to look at the Spotify lyrics... well, apparently the words are "It's in the blood, it's in the blood"

....No tf it is not. It's "into the blood, into the flood" and it's always been that. Lol. Now I can't even sing the lyrics properly because the incorrect ones are permanently ingrained in my muscle memory

Except for the few really goofy moments that sound nothing like them. Dude can really sing, I imagine he must have listened to AFI a decent amount.. that or it's a crazy coincidence.

For those who don't know, he's a parody artist who tackles various niche genres and this is his "goth song"

edit: had to make a version without the moaning

Anyone else stoked to see the boys again today in Sac?!

Hey, I’m a long time AFI fan since around 99. Recently saw them in London, for the first time in 20 years! I was on the fence about buying a T-shirt afterwards and had to leave pretty soon afterwards, as it was a long trip home! I was hoping there would be a UK mech store where they might sell the same stuff from this current tour , but it doesn’t look like it!

Does anyone know if it’s likely they might sell this tour left overs? Based on how other tours have gone in the past. Or perhaps these shirts etc are exclusive to shows.

Second question! Does anyone know there’s anywhere in the uk or Europe that sells AFI merch? Looks like bootleg stuff is the only option, and I don’t feel great about buying that!

Thanks , and happy autumn / fall :)

Saw some tattoos pics recently... thought I'd show mine... although it is about 15 years old.

And damn... the ribs hurt for tattoos!

Who thinks davey has lost his mind trying to chase the dragon from the early 2000’s it’s work but I’m getting older as well

I don't know if this is allowed here. But I'm trying to find some tickets for my friends and I. If you have some for sale, please let me know or point me in the right direction.

PS I already checked StubHub

My job always has a radio playing all the time, but whenever I hear Should I Stay Or Should I Go, I always think of how young Davey used to sound like him. Then I always put on Very Proud of Ya afterwards lol.

In my opinion.
