no, that's a stupid rephrasing of a somewhat funny joke he stole from the webcomic Nothing Nice to Say.

I agree with the people who said sing the sorrow was a disapointment. I like Answer that and stay fashionable best.

Bloodlust 07-29-2005 12:41 PM

i like black sails in the sunset the best.

The prayer position is an awsome song.

I'm starting to warm up to them. I used to hate them when this kid who was in love with them would tell me to listen to them and they weren't good. But I've listened to Black Sails and All Hollows EP and I've liked what I've heard.

Brain Toad 07-30-2005 02:47 AM

Their cover of Halloween is also miles better than the orginal.

Oz Rembrandt 07-30-2005 05:25 AM

I havnt heard it...

I do have Their covers of Last Caress (the Misfits) and the Hanging Garden (The Cure). Neither are better than the original, but they're still pretty **** good.

Rise Me Up 07-30-2005 12:16 PM

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Their cover of Halloween is also miles better than the orginal.[/QUOTE]

Yes,so are the rest of their covers.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-30-2005 12:36 PM

God called in sick today is their best song imo.

Rise Me Up 07-30-2005 12:41 PM

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]God called in sick today is their best song imo.[/QUOTE]


Have you heard any old stuff? Such as,Very Prud of Ya?

Angry Balled Fists! 07-30-2005 12:42 PM

Yes, i have it :-/

Rise Me Up 07-30-2005 12:43 PM

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]Yes, i have it :-/[/QUOTE]


Oh. Most people just prefer old stuff,so I thought it was odd.

Angry Balled Fists! 07-30-2005 12:48 PM

Actually, no.

My favourite AFI album is Sing The Sorrow i think.

So, yeah.

cheeser_1 07-30-2005 01:06 PM

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Their cover of Halloween is also miles better than the orginal.[/QUOTE]absolutely.

as for the dumb fans, i think that after a while, i've just sort of decided that i really don't care what a bands fans do. it's not like the band picks their fans, let alone controls what they do. the fact that they have stupid fans may indicate something about them, their music, or their marketing, but it's not necessarily negative or even important.

maco 07-30-2005 09:01 PM

[QUOTE=Rancid Dan]God called in sick today is their best song imo.[/QUOTE]
certainly, thouggh some would argue it has a reputation thanks to the crowdwalking...there's sooo many that make me go "no that one! no, that one's best!" Over-Exposure, Last Kiss, Prayer Position, TBWDTW, Ever and a Day, Of Greetings and Goodbyes, A Story at Three, Now the World, and Synesthesia are all pretty D[color=white]AMN[/color] high up on the list

maco 07-30-2005 09:03 PM

[QUOTE=chairman_of_the_board]Have you heard any old stuff? Such as,Very Prud of Ya?[/QUOTE]
oh the old stuff like that is fine, but it sort of has the "silly punk" thing. I like the depth of the post-Advent-of-Jade stuff, though it was starting to appear while Mark was there, especially in the A Fire Inside EP, but a little in SYMAOYE too.

maco 07-30-2005 10:13 PM

I was just watching a Quicktime version of TLSP2 and realized there's a guy floating. I never saw it before (thanks to Windows Media's crappy resolution).

Anyone know what that's about?

Maybe he's diving into the pit or something? :confused:

If not, then that's really weird.

maco 08-01-2005 08:48 PM

no, he's just floating....i found out that apparently the director just superimposed a slow-mo during editting

cheeser_1 08-01-2005 11:37 PM

yeah, it's definitely slow-motion, but it looks to me like he's just slow motion jumping (off a trampoline or something).

honkybrewster 08-02-2005 09:09 AM

[QUOTE=chairman_of_the_board]Have you heard any old stuff? Such as,Very Prud of Ya?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, I even have a vinyl of Answer That, but I still prefer the later stuff. Albums like Shut your Mouth, Black Sails, and Art of Drowning.

albert_bass 08-02-2005 09:13 AM

Art of drowning is awesome, my favorite album by them.

honkybrewster 08-02-2005 09:14 AM

Mine too!

albert_bass 08-02-2005 09:16 AM

^
Cool

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Their cover of Halloween is also miles better than the orginal.[/QUOTE]

Everyone knows the misfits aren't exactly awesome at musicianship, they just wrote some really catchy tunes. Also AFI's original of Totalimmortal is better than Offspring's cover.

honkybrewster 08-02-2005 09:20 AM

Yeah, the Offspring version bothered me. But COME ON! Without the Misfits we might not even have AFI.

albert_bass 08-02-2005 09:22 AM

I've never really liked them. Only Static Age and to an extent... and I like several of their other songs but that's all, American Psycho for example.

Gnarmageddon 08-02-2005 09:52 AM

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Their cover of Halloween is also miles better than the orginal.[/QUOTE]
Agreed. The outro gives me the willies every time I listen to it.

maco 08-02-2005 11:52 AM

Actually, look at the tracklistng INSIDE the the All Hallows EP. Halloween comes last. Now look at inside of the handle part of the case. It says "Boo!" on BSITS it says "Beyond and to all time I stand" and on AOD it says "Battled." Since BSITS and AOD both have things about the bonus track, Boo! would logically have to be about a bonus track too. Because Halloween is listed last inside, that means it was originally supposed to be track 4, which would make that end stuff a bonus track titled Boo! except that Alan Forbes messed up the tracklisting in his art and Nitro found it easier to simply rearrange the songs than actually photo-edit the artwork (Nitro's lazy like that. 6 years later and Last Kiss & Weathered Tome are STILL switched). In conclusion, that music is not an outro, but a misplaced bonus track titled Boo!

kerr69 08-03-2005 02:34 AM

they rock i like the songs over exsposure and day of the phenox

fatwreckpunk 08-03-2005 07:45 AM

maco... do you know everything about this band ? sounds like you are more obsessed to them than my girlfriend. Her whole room is completly covered in AFI stuff from vinyls /posters to lit bar signs

Ok. :upset:

I never noticed the Boo! thingy. I always thought they did a creepy thing at the end since the song is about Halloween.

fatwreckpunk 08-03-2005 07:55 AM

i noticed it but i didnt know what it was to do with

maco 08-03-2005 08:26 AM

there was a lot of discussion about Boo! probably 3 times since I joined the AFI board a year ago, so I've kind of learned it....I went through an obsessive phase like a year ago where I learned a bunch, but I don't go hunting for info (anymore). I started a fansite, but it's not done. I *plan* to have as many text interviews as I can find on there too...
