When you're playing a style of music that doesn't really
fit anywhere, you run a risk. You're challenging people to
leave their niche, to leave their predetermined ideas of
what they're supposed to like. Luckily, we have a lot of
people who just focus on the music and appreciate us for
what we are. So we get fans from all different genres of
music, the jocks, the spooky kids, skaters, college kids,
punk rockers, hardcore kids, metal kids, all that"
- Davey Havok
The origins and history of AFI are as humble as they are
passionate, beginning with the meaning and philosophy
behind the acronym now known to an ever-growing legion of
fans the world over: A Fire Inside.
Review about A.F.I. (AFI) something to point out... | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Days of the Phoenix performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
This song is pretty good. I would just like to point out, though, that it is kind of biased to say that people who've only gotten into AFI recently know nothing about their music. I'm young enough that the only AFI songs I've really been able to hear released (since the only radio stations I've had access to for the longest time were mainstream pop stations)were the newer ones. Yet, those songs got me into AFI, and, now, I've listened to some of the older songs, and do like those, as well.
It always makes me feel I am apart of an intimate moment that wasn't meant to be shared with me. It kinda puts me into a melancholy sort of awe. Dave is an extremely good writer, and I hope he'll write a book someday.
I'm glad I can know all the words now!
I love it | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Interview performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
The end is so breathtaking. So I was right- it was Jade at the end. I love Jade's voice it's simply beautiful. I have to listen to the song someone where I'm alone because the ending makes me cry. The lyrics (when you think about them) are just sad. I mean who could let Davey and Jade grow pale without eachother!

------ About the song Affliction performed by A.F.I. (AFI)

A Fire Inside~! | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song Girl's Not Grey performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
A Fire Inside is my favorite band. closely followed by Arch Enemy.
this song really speaks to me.
for a long time, i didn't understand what it meant to me, exactly. and even though it's hard to explain, basically, to me.. and i accept that i might be wrong, but w/e.. it is about a guy that has been led to a place in his heart, where all from ebfore was erased, and he was left to brood, as he swallowed his feelings and memories of yesterday to lay in the darkness, where the "lace of light begs to be imbrued". he lays down, and listens to the cold darkness, as all insects sing, and he is sinking lower and lower in the darkness, waiting to drown.
basically, to me, "what follows" is him wondering what he was following, searching for, that he failed in reaching, that led him to be swallowed into the darkness.
probably wrong, but it's what i picture when i listen to the song. =P
AFI FOR LIFE~! ~<3

------ About artist/band A.F.I. (AFI)
AFI is a fantastic band. They have changed throughout the ages, but who would ever expect a band to remain the same for always? No one. My review here is almost like a past confession, AFI, when I was younger, was probably one of the integral parts of keeping my hope alive. I had a very hard childhood and a broken family growing up and it led to anger, sadness, and lots of pain. I've since grown and healed, but AFI holds a special spot for me since I used to be depressed, I used to listen to the passion of their eloquent writing, and it would stabilize me when the world was going crazy. AFI understands.
Meh | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song The Leaving Song performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
The message I am getting from this song is how two people fall in love. The guy has a bad past with the girls friends, and the girl has a bad past with the guys friends. Its more of a romeo and juliet sorta thing, but then at the same time, not really. Anyway, they end up reaching a breaking point, and they have to choose their friends or eachother. Note: "Walked away, heard them say "Poison hearts will never change,"",.
So yeah....this is sort of whats happening to me in real life...and as far as the emo thing goes, I have to agree with the below comments. Just because a song touches your heart, and doesnt have anything to do with gun oding wannabes, makes it emo? lol xD
Simply Amal like amazing! | Reviewer: Rkirb
------ About the song Morningstar performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
I love AFI. they are so amazing! Every single word in each song seems to fit there so perfectly! I especially love this song because I as well feel sometimes that the people who suround you don't care about you or don't notice you. I thank AFI fo getting me through a lot of hard times in my life!
Beautiful | Reviewer: Brandi
------ About the song Morningstar performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
This song is purely beautiful, haunting, and enchanting. And yes if AFI was a painting is would be a true masterpiece. With Davey's amazing voice, beautiful instrumentals, and how it rocks out at the end is truely amazing. This song has a special place in my heart.

------ About the song The Leaving Song performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
Ja to the ppl down below.... Emo isnt a stereotype its a type of music...and in Japanese, EMO means POTATO. :D sorry, just had to get that out. also, this song is awesome Afi is possibly my fave band of all time. XoXo, Liebe, Whatever, Bye.
fuck afi fans they all have no idea what they are talking about anymore all the kids that just found them from MTV and mainstream radio know nothing of the real AFI. and when were they Asking For It? they were Anthems For Insubordinates on Very Proud of Ya, and Answer That and Stay Fashionable if i recall correctly.
Awesome song | Reviewer: Ryan
------ About the song Midnight Sun performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
The song is very Lovecraftian. Humans ask the queston, "what awaits beyond infinity." And whatever is beyond infinitiy, is saying "beyond and to all time i stand." and that being is probably evil. So awesome.

------ About the song Weathered Tome performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
AFI is my favourite band. this took me too long to figure out! they are my first true and honest favourite band. I started to like them after i heard Miss Murder and always played it on Guitar Hero. After that it was history! I just youtubed AFI and kept adding to my favourite list of songs. POWERFUL LYRICS ACOMPANIED BY STRONG MUSICAL ASPECTS!!!

------ About the song Morningstar performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
For the kid who asked about the correlation between morning star and lucifer, yeah, that's something I've thought about too, the chorus says it all man. also something to think about, Morning Star is also a name for Jesus.
for the kid who said AFi sold out after The Art of Drowning... kiss my ass. They didnt sell out, they've been experimenting with different sounds. Just because a band changes music styles doesn't mean they are selling out. so shut your fucking mouth before you open it next time and say something else retarded.
This Celluloid Dream | Reviewer: Anonymous
------ About the song This Celluloid Dream performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
AFI's lyrics are just exquisitely written. Not only beautiful, but totally brilliant and...words can't even describe it. Davey Havok is a fucking incredible lyricist, poet, creator, GENIUS. Every song on this particular album is laced with vivid imagery. This album, this song...perfect examples of a masterpiece. It's orgasmically good haha. :)
Lyrics | Reviewer: Hayden
------ About the song God Called In Sick Today performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
Lyrics and poetry in general, are normally open for interpretation. So anyone saying that there is one solid meaning for the song is mistaken. It means whatever you want it to mean. Davey (or whoever wrote it) may or may not have had one specific meaning in mind when he wrote this song, but it doesn't matter. If he said exactly what it meant, the song would be rendered meaningless to so many people who had already garnered their own meaning for it.
Phoenix Theater | Reviewer: Lindsey Marie
------ About the song Days of the Phoenix performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
This song is about the Phoenix Theater in Petaluma, CA. I go there quite often actually. Davey talks about the ghost that haunts the balcony and the alleged underground tunnels beneath the venue. All true ghost stories around here and have been around for decades. Davey attends the phoenix regularly and a few years ago I saw him there just listening to music like everyone else. Truly inspiring that he still himself and fame hasn't gone to his head.

------ About the song Weathered Tome performed by A.F.I. (AFI)
i had the same problem, I got the cd off Itunes thought but every song was messed up. For example when I played Clove Smoke Catharsis instead of the real song it played No Poetic Device, every song was like this. Porphyria Cutanea Tarda was actually Malleus Maleficarum and so on, I got so mad!
Oh well. AFI is and will always be my Favorite band, and this is one kickass song
