In retrospect, I feel I had done a disservice by not explaining how much they changed my life with their music so I hope I can rectify this in the future with another meet up one day. They all graciously signed a ton of my AFI collection which I still have framed.
After the show I got a tattoo where Davey signed my arm to celebrate this absolute privilege and monumental occasion. If they read this, I hope they know how much their music has helped me brave this world and to be comfortable being myself. AFI was there for me and helped me through and when I needed help to carry on. Decades later, I still have them to thank for giving me strength. It was extremely worth it and meant everything to me both then as a teen and especially now.
I finally repaid my stepdad by getting him a ticket this time. Just like a fire inside of me, I keep his memory alive in my heart. My love for AFI burns stronger than ever. Happy 30th Anniversary AFI. I knew about you guys somewhat before, but I can remember really falling in love with Silver and Cold first when it had started to come on fuse tv.
I was beyond adoration once I had learned every word. I was deep in my goth and metal days, and spent my time going to local metal shows in conservative southeast Georgia waycross.
We had a good group of hardcore kids and we really adored you guys. As the years have passed, I fell more in love with this band album by album. Your tunes and lyrics seem to capture elements of being a human like no other band. You guys are like angels. I hope you know that your hearts are very beautiful.
Yall know that is saying something! Thank you for sharing your art with us all for so many wonderful years, and I hope to see you guys for the first time one day. Around I received a Wal-mart gift card for either my birthday or Christmas. But anyways those 2 cds stayed in my cd player for pretty much that entire year.
It happens that by that time I lived at the south of the country and off course had no budget and no permission to go by myself to see my favorite band of all times. There was not much I could do, but to spend most of classes looking through the window imagining you guys coming to my high school and giving this blast of a concert on the rooftop of my building. This photo reminds me a lot of those teenage years when I wanted to find a way to send all the stuff I made about you guys to let you know how grateful I was and still am for opening my mind to a very genuine and sincere sound.
Seems like now is the right time. From the very beginning I have been a fan of this band. I first met Davey Havok, sometime in the late 90s at what was no doubt a Numbskull Productions show. He was sweet and kind then, as he is now. Eventually I started working for Numbskull Productions, and over the years we have done countless shows for them at many different venues across the state of California.
None of them have changed in character or personality through these past 30 years. I still love this band today. I like to think that I am one of the one in one acquainted. As many others are as well. So thank you for all the music inspiration and friendship over these past 30 years. AFI Forever.
Through our bleeding we are one. Beyond and to all time I stand. It was the fall semester of my junior year of college. I was hanging out with a new friend from the opera production and they put on some music once we finished rehearsing. The opening track of Sing the Sorrow came on. I stopped in my tracks. I was hooked from that first phrase. I had to sit down and listen to the entire album at that moment. I listened to that CD so much I had to buy another copy. When the blood album came out, I knew I had to get a tattoo to pay homage to them and my two favorite albums of theirs.
I know a lot of you will appreciate it as much as I do. I found AFI when I was about 9 years old and loved them since then. When I was a sophomore in high school my mom got me a pair of AFI socks. I wore them all the time. The same day I got them I met the guy that would be my boyfriend, who I am still dating today.
I introduced him to AFI and now we have tickets to see their newest concert. I am so excited! I was hooked! Through our bleeding, we are one!
One of the only ones they I have is the day that I discovered their existence. Was a normal day in May , like every day, me and my sister would return from high school at 2pm, We turn on the television to look for something interesting to watch on tv.
The beat was pretty cool, the catchy chorus with a dark aura. We printed some images for our notebooks and every day we looked forward to seeing the program, obviously always wanting to see them in the first positions, they were so good, that they deserved no less. We always searched among the other music channels, to see if they showed any of their videos. Sadly, I was never able to attend their events that took place in Mexico.
I was small enough to go and as a teenager, I only had money to go to school. I am infinitely grateful to have known them, the impact that they have caused is incredible, because they have taught me not to stop and pursue my dreams, always with passion. Well, I had already given up. It is never too late to do what you really love.
They inspire me to keep doing what I love: drawing. Thanks AFI! I listened for years. Your ever evolving aesthetic soothes me. December Underground and its aesthetic appeared just in time. Something about that album and that aesthetic spoke to me. That tour, oh my god. You are such a sight to experience. Thank you for capturing an experience.
Thank you for this. A Fire Inside Thank you for the beauty Thank you for the honesty. Thank you, just thank you. I encountered AFI within a definitive split in life. Morningstar derailed me. December Underground sparked something in me. Even I Hope You Suffer allowed me to quiet the especially daunting words and memories.
I have seen you live in Detroit, Chicago and Portland and will see you again in March. Thank you for your dedication. Thank you for your craft. Thank you. My love for AFI only grew as I got older, their music getting me through some of the hardest times in my life. After being friends for well over a decade, my best friend Desi and I finally had the chance to see AFI together.
If not for this band that saved us both, we would never had met. Getting a chance to tell Adam thank you was a dream. They were humble and chatty and genuinely interacted with the small group of us who won a meet and greet at their September show in Eatons Hill in Brisbane. They then went on to play a killer show turning my husband, who came with me, from someone who knew a few songs because his wife always had them on to fully impressed, those guys have got the complete package fan.
I was late to this party. From that night on, I have been to as many AFI shows as possible. My home is on that rail, screaming along with my AFI family. I was When I first heard of AFI through the Offspring, I searched local record stores in an attempt to purchase their albums but to no avail. The rest is history. I drove there by myself from the Bay day of and drove back home after the concert. I had Davey sign behind my ear and got it tattooed the next day.
Both support acts were great, but in the end it was the atmosphere of this show that set it apart. AFI absolutely killed it that night. Something about experiencing that song out in the open was truly amazing. It was also my first time seeing any major show outside rather than in a stuffy venue, and 11 years later is still one of my favorite shows of all time. I doubt it will ever leave my top 3. That is one show I could relive over and over and never get bored of.
Been a fan a few years by the time of this show. Broke and a last minute thought with no ticket! Afi fans are the dopest so was able to score a ticket outside and lucky enough to make it in time for Hunter to sign my stub! Open more doors. Download our Explore magazine OK. Read more.
