[QUOTE=cheeser_1]six or seven bucks on ebay.[/QUOTE]

thanks!!! i'll be sure to get myself a copy!!!!!!!! does anyone knoe if the AFI/Swingin Utters plit album is good? im sure it would be...

El_Shiznit 07-07-2005 11:11 AM

I only have the AFI track off of it, and it is a cover of Dag Nasty's "Values Here". I'm sure the split has to own because of the facts....

AFI = awesome
Dag Nasty = awesome
Swingin' Utters = awesome

You can't go wrong!

Afi is a good band. They have some hits. My favorite's are Girls not Grey and God called in Sick Today.

Thrall Bass 07-09-2005 02:05 AM

What do I think of AFI...They have probably been my favorite band for...I dunno...4 years...They have good Misfits covers...My favorite songs would have to be File 13 and The Checkered Demon

RetiredAt21 07-09-2005 02:06 AM

I like their cover of Halloween. That's pretty good.

[QUOTE=RetiredAt21]I like their cover of Halloween. That's pretty good.[/QUOTE]
So many bands cover that song. The best I've heard is Alkaline Trio's version.


My favorite AFI cover would have to be one of their Cure covers.

albert_bass 07-09-2005 10:21 AM

I've never listened to the cure so what's some cure covers by AFI?

Blane420 07-09-2005 01:17 PM

I used to love AFI, but after a few years the only cd's I would even listen to are: "Black Sails", and "Art of Drowning". The newest album was pretty weak imo.

Berserker! 07-09-2005 04:11 PM

[QUOTE=Thrall Bass]My favorite song would have to be File 13 [/QUOTE]

123 but after listening to it over 137 times it's a bit boring. I just gave Black Sails a re-listen and it's amazing although my favourite album would have to be Shut Your Mouth

[QUOTE]They were okay/good til they sold out.

And by 'sold out' I mean changed their sound to get on MTV, made music videos, signed a major label for money and raised ticket prices for their shows.[/QUOTE]

Their sound just evolved you dumb f[COLOR=Black]uc[/COLOR]k.
They had 3 music videos BEFORE Sing the sorrow came out.
Money is what keeps a musician making music in our world because it costs a buck or two to eat. Raised ticket prices...... wow, im guessing this kid is about 15 years old seeing as how he doesnt understand basic economics.


Supply vs Demand. Only a certain number of people can fit inside a concert hall. Lets say it holds 1000 people.

How many people are willing to pay 1 dollar to see AFI? Just about anyone in america.

How many people are willing to pay 10 bucks to see AFI? Just about anyone with knowledge of the band.

How many people are willing to pay 50 bucks to AFI? Just a bunch of Die-hard AFI fans.

So 25 bucks isnt unreasonable if you want to see the band. I Payed 45 bucks to get into street scene last year, and they are the only band i saw.

AND get this..... They dont set the price for how much the ticket costs. The owners of the venue do. They do get paid but they dont say, i will only play if i get paid 5 dollars a head. They get paid a set ammount regardless of how many people show up. The ammount of people that show up just determine how much they get paid next time, or if there is even a next time.

So how about NEXT TIME you read what you are saying BEFORE you open your mouth and start typing away half thought out ideas.



ALSO, if AFI are sell outs for being on Dreamworks record label. I guess the Ramones are He[COLOR=Black]lla[/COLOR] sell outs for being on Warner Bros. records.

[QUOTE=albert_bass]I've never listened to the cure so what's some cure covers by AFI?[/QUOTE]
"The Hanging Garden" which is on the A Fire Inside EP.

"Just Like Heaven" which was performed live for a Cure tribute thingy.

Tjebby 07-09-2005 11:08 PM

My Michelle was a pretty good cover of theirs. I forgot who did the original.

El_Shiznit 07-09-2005 11:09 PM

Guns N' Roses did the original. It was off of the Punk Goes Metal compilation.

Tjebby 07-09-2005 11:13 PM

Yeah, thats what I thought. That was about the only song I liked on that cd... If I remember right.

Rise Me Up 07-09-2005 11:17 PM

I've been in love with AFI lately. They are avery unique band,from Answer That And Stay Fashionable to Sing the Sorrow.

ScuzzBucket89 07-09-2005 11:23 PM

I could never really get into AFI, their lead singer always came off as sortof "whiney" to me, at least their new stuff anyways. Is their older stuff different??

wtf is going on with all this ahahaha?

Illidan 07-10-2005 09:52 AM

I don't like them at all, they call themselves punk, when they aren't. They did a cover of [I]Misfits--Last Caress[/i] which wasn't anything more than crap. I think they have potential, but right now, they are emo, and I am getting sick of it, especially the early stuff. I do like a couple songs, which are [I] Silver and Cold, The Boy Who Destroyed the World, Girls Not grey, and God Called In Sick Today.[/i] That's all though.. that's my opinion.
