We didn't get the best sound, no live mic, just the board. Our camera guy said he was a pro. He was actually a douche. The show was incredible. sunset BlankTV

😂😂😂

[@jessehutchings]

DUDE THIS WAS STILL AMAZING 😂

[@justinbarnard8749]

It makes it somewhat more authentic I think

[@AleisterMeowley]

Yeah that camerawork is terrible but the performance is fantastic

[@VeryOkay]

Well shit I guess you’re lucky Davey crushes

[@blanktv]

A.F.I.'s first couple of albums are some of the best hardcore to ever come out of California. sunset BlankTV

[@mattgregersen]

14 years since this comment, still true

[@cuttlerturner1929]

His vocal style and range is super unique for this genre especially, stupid humble and beyond interactive with the audience, pays tons of homage to the bands that influenced him the most. 🔥

[@chefshit9271]

To all the people getting mad at AFI, in late 1998- early 1999 Roadrunner records (I think that's it) approached Davey and asked if he would be the new singer of The Misfit, And he was so humble, that he declined. So thanks to Davey Havok, the misfits still kinda exist. Yeah, take that.

[@rizzorepulsive7704]

fuck the misfits AFI is so much better no joke

[@tromatyzed]

FALSE!!! In 1998 and 1999 Michale Graves was the singer. It was not until after he left in late 2000 that someone at Roadrunner approached Davey and asked him.

[@btrkendall371]

@@rizzorepulsive7704 you're funny man

[@tazmon122]

this comment was made about the same time Danzig got the original monsters back together.

[@MasterOfKnowledge.]

@@tromatyzed Actually, for a little while in 1998, he wasn't. They did a tour that year in SA and Europe, and Graves refused to do an extensive tour outside the States so they got Myke Hideous to fill in (who, funnily enough, originally auditioned to be the new vocalist of the Misfits back in 94/95, but was just barely beat out by Graves)

[@scabiesandrabies]

I was there! This was the first time I saw them!

[@blanktv]

+Biff Right on! This was one of the three-night stand at The Palace that got them signed to DreamWorks. Smitty BlankTV ps- we have the whole show up here in clips...you might be able to see yourself!

[@Borderlands2lova]

Misfits is one of my favorite bands, and I can confidently say they perfectly executed this song. AFI has to be one of my top 10 bands.

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

afi know how to cover the misfits, they do it better than anybody else! afi were simply perfect back in this time period!

[@Redsoxxplayer]

Man I love this lineup. Punk rock Jade and Hunter. It was so cool cuz they got that emo/goth creativity underlining their intense fucking punk rock. I love when punk rock bands step outside the box and these guys were so original and creative in the late 90s, wish they stayed that way

[@blaleschwab7837]

Techno freak 209 lol emo has been around since the 80's dude

[@AW-qz4kk]

yep emo punk aka emotive hard-core emo has existed for a while

[@MimeONine]

hey... i love everything AFi has done. New, old, it doesnt matter to me. I love his voice, their lyrics, their music. its amazing to me. i will follow them to the end.

[@theflipper404]

i miss this AFI :(

[@TamingBucephalus]

Fucking love this video. Great cover by a great band. I wish I had this whole concert on DVD. In my opinion, AFI were great right up through Sing the Sorrow, which a lot of people discredit as just being 'goth' or whatever, but I find that it's a beautiful, dark, passionate record. I didn't care for their most recent release, but they still have a great history as a band, and one subpar record does not ruin that!

[@MrOetzilars]

I think metallica did a better Cover of this Song. (On the ep garagedays)

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

this was the golden age of a.f.i. (1997-1999) as their best period! shut your mouth and open your eyes and black sails in the sunset, their best 2 albums!!!!!!!

[@necrofury]

I love AFI, and still to this day, early AFI, (very proud of ya,art of drowning, etc) Is still the coolest shit I've ever heard :D

[@picassoartist]

I miss the old AFI, you're very right

[@alexcorona]

Back when AFI used to be punk.....ahh i miss those days.

[@havokisthecure]

like I use to say...I don`t like versions but AFI makes the BEST versions in the world!!...AFI ROX no matter how many ppl deny it.

[@Dustin795]

old school AFI = best hardcore punk band in the 90s no question

[@SidCrust]

In existence in my personal humble opinion

[@Dominik_Lipinski]

Such a good cover!

[@Edpunkrocker90]

This is one of the all time punk rock anthems. LOVE IT!!!!

[@Blackmagecat]

Dude. They did such a good cover :D AFI Freakin ruled back in the 90`s early 2000`s!

[@superman12211331]

Old AFI rocks. New AFI rocks. AFI just rocks in general.

[@necrofury]

omg awesome!!

[@shadowdouglas450]

Awesome ty for this when Afi was great all there old stuff. Girls not grey was terrible but i still love them.

[@Felix-bb2rx]

They're stil great even their most recent work from the bodies album. You have to have a very limited taste in music to say otherwise

[@shadowdouglas450]

@@Felix-bb2rx No i have seen them since they started Davey used to talk to everyone they where great even Black sails i loved but Mis Murder an so on Nope I have a AFI tat when it meant Ask For It not A Fire Inside I asked him what it meant with everyone else that would see them. Art of drowning cool but the lipstick and crying no thanks hun Ill Wont forget my roots Through are bleeding we are one no .But and I'm not saying there not talented I'm saying they are not making cash off me. Any more and i went to see them for there last pass at Ramshead no way cool they played Oldies but the other bands Trumped them. There not Two of a Kind.

[@scubaasteevee]

old AFI makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

[@blanktv]

That was me in the orange t-shirt!!! Had a few shots of vodka and chased 'em down with Red Bull. What a show!! Joel BlankTV

[@eddierocksteady]

They nailed it! Finally a cover to this song that does it justice!

[@blanktv]

Furthermore, he killed the live audio in favor of the off the board audio. Everyone sang along and knew all the words. You just can't hear it. Nick BlankTV

[@tn0wl361]

Am I the only one that thinks Davey today is a lot more like what he was like in the late 90s then he ever has been since or ever will be again? I get it, people miss old (2003-2007) Davey Havok but they must not know just how much some miss the good old punk days of AFI. Good shit.

[@Rojeva14]

one of the best live vocals ive ever heard

[@mbz25]

Dam that venue looks sweet. Sweet to play at and sweet to be at

[@RED123BRANKA]

i love this song

[@lostpunkrock]

wow i love it awesome afi always kicks ass

[@MimeONine]

awesome. same here

[@blanktv]

This is them doing it live in the late 90's. They turned a whole ton of kids onto The Misfits who might not have heard them otherwise. I think it's a great cover. sunset BlankTV

[@trojanman5150]

Awesome cover!

[@Xxafipunk1221xX]

afi is the shit! no matter what their music sounds like no matter how its changed..they still have thier punk stuff they released it didnt they? ok than afi wil never die their old stuff will live on..their old stuff that u listen to today...this very day the very moment u hear it...u should realize hey they still kick ass!

[@gunnnervader7396]

I was their and it was a sick ass show I forget if this was at the paladium or fonda. To many old afi shows I been too.

[@HySteria909]

It's been ten years and the crowd still doesnt know the song

[@hari-media]

great Cover!

[@Ynnadodgers]

I was at this show. Sadly a lot of people who prefer older or the "more punk" version of AFI weren't around back then.. those are the people that should keep their mouths shut! :-)

[@AshleeACAmusic]

Well said, ha i can't wait

[@bigsarge8271]

Dope cover, really did it justice.

[@blanktv]

@jim0581 Hey Jim, This was The Palace in Hollywood. I think that AFI/Distillers/Rancid tour was a little later. We caught that one at the Palladium. sunset BlankTV

[@timdoheny1580]

I'll say it no one does misfits covers like AFI they're the only acceptable covers

[@nexus7034]

The Creepshow did an excellent cover of Halloween though. So that’s not true at all.

[@deathbypowerglove]

It's AMAZING how much A.F.I can do a Misfit's song so close to sounding like the Misfit's. Not so much in this video...but if you get any recording of them doing it, it's pretty damn close. I don't care AFI is awsome too

[@IAmNoeyes]

I wrote the entire lyrics to this song on the wall of a port-a-potty when I was working for the Army in Kuwait circa 2007. It was freaking hot hiding in that Port-a - john.

[@katieboo666]

I like the older stuff!

Holy shit AFI, WHY ARE YOU SO AWESOME?!?!

Check out Son of Sam if you guys haven't already. It's Davey Havok on vocals with Danzig and Samhain members including Glenn Danzig himself on a couple tracks.

[@rlmadrid1]

THIS VID WAS ADDED ON MY BDAY :D

[@garygkc21]

I love afi

[@ChesteREastsideR]

Nice cover :D

Wish AFI still played the punk music they used to

[@IndyX]

AFI got awesome by covering this song. Fuck yeah! This is one of the first Misfits songs I listened to and I loved it.

[@gloritta7539]

amazing

[@blanktv]

Are any of you guys still in the Despair Faction? Somebody post there and let them know we've put the whole show up. :) sunset BlankTV

davey looks like a heroic anime character all the time from the beginning to now as a young tom waits

They're still alive and doing good!

[@blanktv]

Yep, the Palace. :) sunset BlankTV

[@Devoted2Mariah]

Wow, that gorgeous smile he has..

[@liveweyer]

Yeah, they used to be a hardcore band. Alot of people don't realize that, but they used to be the best band to mosh to with songs like the lost souls or catch a hot one.

[@nafti360]

I thoroughly enjoyed the most casual circle pit ever.

[@xjosefffx]

I didn't know that part of Cloverfield took place at an AFI show.

[@paulex12]

this is pretty fucking great!

@TheJohnny1965 Hey tough guy, If you didn't see AFI kill it in the early 90's, shut your fucking cakehole. One of the best live bands I've ever seen. Nick BlankTV

[@Lycana3]

OMG...! Davey looks so frekin young!

[@S0ckless]

I think this is a well done cover. AFI was punk in the 90's, they weren't always emo trash, and I think they deserved to be able to do this cover. They performed it very well too.

[@watuchie]

I miss the old energy! :( I don't care much for their stuff now...

[@blanktv]

Yeah, we had no idea how bad he was fucking up until we got back to the office. What a dick. :) sunset BlankTV

[@gamble7man]

a die hard fan :P

[@AustinIsAPunkRocker]

back in there punks days...

[@au8682]

Funny how he called out that Chicago audience didn't know The Misfits. Sounded like this crowd didn't either. Not surprised...

[@XfactorMcCulloch]

HE IS JUST SO BADASS!

[@viAniLLa]

are they A.F.I?! OMG i can't believe why i ddnt recognize them!

[@takingbackromance]

lmao the "pit at 2:30 looks liek there all trying to run out of the venue! "get us out! quick! my ears!" lmaooo

[@leventyldrm2374]

laughed hard at the zoom-in and zoom-outs it's like a toddler playing with a camera.

[@hideyojimmies4840]

Ugh finally I found a "last caress" cover that is actually good. I love NOFX but their cover is a bit rubbish, thus making Metallica's better P.S. Dum dum girls where last place on list, so hey atleast you're not the worst NOFX ;)

[@TeapotKiller]

I will forever be an AFI fan and continue to listen to their music and see them whenever I get the chance. However, I do think these were their best days. Decemberunderground was nothing like the quality that was Black Sails and before then. And Crash Love? Oh how they have changed for the worse. Still, AFI forever eh?

[@scorpiontherulez6895]

this guy is good.

[@IndiaEight5]

@BlankTV I love that album, actually that's the only AFI album I have on my library. You got any suggestions for other great AFI albums?

[@patrick9296]

AFI and the Misfits. I miss them both.

[@jigan001]

its kinda weird not seeing Hunter and Jade.... but Punk AFI is still amazing i still want a mohawk!

the bass line tho

seeing them todai wish they play there old shit

[@spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Back when this band was good.

[@judet2006]

i miss old school AFI. It used to mean "asking for it" i dont know wtf happened to them

[@deraickripper]

emo is a "word" since the 80's!

[@therentboy83]

nice bassline!

[@DaniSmith_95]

The misfits wanted Davey Havok to be their lead singer.

[@MrLouCipher]

When AFI were a great band...

[@jbarrier3506]

yeah maybe their final good year was 2003 but they were good while they lasted

[@MrLouCipher]

When i listened "Miss Murder" for the first time I thinked "WTF? They're becomed retarded?". Was the "emo era" 2004/2008, one of the darkest moments for the music... Ahahahahah

[@Underthejrose]

Lou Cipher theyre still fucking fantastic

[@MrLouCipher]

Underthejrose mmmmmh... I don't think so...

[@Underthejrose]

Lou Cipher they still break out the good early shit you seem hung up on. They didnt wanna warped tour cereal wars mohawk cruise forever dudee
