of course they are punk, anyone who diesnt think they are, just dont listen to music. Next you'll be saying Abba is punk. FFS get your facts right before you post ****

Abba's not punk?

Everybody knows Abba's death metal.

/sigh

*[I]if people only knew how much i love abba[/I]*

/Not funny

jerk....

wasn't there an album of death metal covers of abba songs?

that would be funny...

That's stupid. Abba wasn't a good band. They sucked, so why would you wanna cover their songs?

[QUOTE=fatwreckpunk]my girlfriend would give her right arm to see them live i think[/QUOTE]

My girlfriend is obsessed with them too. She actually got me into them, but I only like very proud of ya. Are their any other cd's like that one?

Answer That and Stay Fashionable and Very Proud of Ya are practically the same cd with different lyrics. Well, ATASF is shorter too.

[QUOTE=animepunk333]that's not the point abba is not punk and this is an afi forum[/QUOTE]

When I think of punk...I don't really think of AFI...especially after the last album...

Good job saying something that is said every page in this thread!

AFI before Jade was in the band is pure Hardcore Punk. When he joined their sound changed a lot, but you can still 100% hear hardcore chord progressions and such. Personally I classify their later works as Post-Hardcore in the sense it take sgreat influence but adds more to the music.

That's what El_Shizzy says about them too and I 100% agree.

Shiz gets annoyed when I say they do post-hardcore cuz I was thinking of time not sound. I just keep going with "melodic hardcore" for the with-Jade stuff.

I really like AFi, and i would certanly agree with the melodic hardcore part, but i'm not really into all the genre's ;)
But i do think that every album they have are great, and i'm really looking forward to their upcoming record.
Does anyone know anything about this record? (title, release or whatever?)

Davey says it should be in our hands in early 2006, will have a "cold pop" sound, and it will have more electronic layering.

that's cool

Not really annoyed. :)

It was just a false statement, as hardcore as a genre has been around for a while and is still around today. So your reasoning for calling them post-hardcore was incorrect. However, they are post-hardcore in the sense of the musical style instead of the time period.

Then howcome when I said post-hc before you went "why are you calling them post-hc? are you just thinking of time or something?"

They are an undoubtedly very original, good band.
My favourite songs are Ever A Day and The Prayer Position. I would [B]love[/B] to see what they are like live, so I hope they take next years Carling Festival into cosideration.

the best AFI songs are Morningstar, I Wanna Get A Mohawk and This Secret Ninja.

AFI RULEZ

they're not punk anymore, they were when they started out, but now they've moved on to post-hardcore. they've said multiple times that they dont' want to keep one constant sound, they want they sound to keep evolving. and to the person on the first page, they didn't change their sound to get on MTV, everytime their sound has changed was because they wanted to move forward.

Because if I remember correctly, you were talking about SYMAOYE being post-hardcore, when that's clearly straight up hardcore style-wise.

My band was thinking of covering Girl's Not Grey. But we didnt

[QUOTE=Skidmark Steve][COLOR=Red]does your band have a site or mp3's?[/COLOR][/QUOTE]

Nope, as of now we're a cover band. Next time we have a practice I'll record something.

Come to think of it, that could be today.

Would this be a ska cover??? I wanna do something off of TAOD as ska. That cd's got enough short notes that I think it would be easier to turn it into ska than any of their other stuff. I think I wanted to do A Story at Three as ska before.

The bassist and I want my band to cover God Called In Sick Today.
