AFI - "The Boy Who Destroyed The World" Drum Cover

[@stevethepirate]

also your performance of this song is mindblowingly good. so glad you took the time to make this.

[@pedrosiqueira1898]

3:22 just came here for this...

[@honeypower]

Man was an awesome experience seeing AFI live back in the day, saw them a few times in 2001 and 2002 in tinyy venues, lots of crowd surfing and stage jumping. Cruise control, lost souls, a single second, awesome set lists. I know I sound like a boomer but they don't have that energy or stage presence anymore.

[@SeniorBrochacho]

Loved the background you gave in connection with the song and the band. AFI is a band that I while Im not too into their newer material, I feel they are often overlooked and underrated. Great video and keep up that tempo dude. You're killing it!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Dude, thank you man. I'm on the same page about their newer stuff. Their older style just hits different. Right on man, doin my best!

[@7602tall]

Great cover and loved the background. That "everyone was singing the same songs I was singing by myself" resonates. Despair Faction is forever. Through our bleeding...

[@lawrencemcstephens308]

Awesome cover, dude! This was one of the first AFI songs I ever heard back in 2000, after a classmate performed Days Of The Phoenix at our high school talent show. My brother had beef with the singer, then they were friends, and this dude had every AFI release up to that point, including A Fire Inside EP, etc. This era will always hold a place in my heart, and this song is one of my faves of all time, any genre. On a side note, I noticed a lot of people don't care for their newer stuff. I stopped listening to them after Decemberunderground, after not liking Crash Love, and then about 3 years ago, I put AFI on shuffle on the lobby's Alexa while working hotel front desk, and came across 17 Crimes, Wild, and Greater Than '84, and really dug them! I decided to re-purchase Crash Love, then picked up Burials and The Blood Album, and downloaded The Missing Man EP, and listened to them for months on repeat. While in certain ways, the late-90s to early 2000s AFI will always be superb, I think they still got it, and have put out a ton of great stuff since then. Keep up the great drumming, dude!

[@SexyAssDanny4]

if only AFI were still this bad ass

[@RobHellfire666]

Sick! 🤘 The first of many, many times I saw A.F.I was back in 1994-95 here in Calgary,Alberta, Canada. At a small community center, all ages shows, about 200 kids were there.. I've seen AFI probably about a dozen times between Calgary, Vancouver, and Edmonton. I definitely prefer there old stuff, I don't know WTF is up with their newer stuff. I lost interest after sing the sorrow came out.. That being the last album I liked of their's.. The old stuff is timeless and classic..🤘😎 Ps: good drumming. From a fellow drummer. 🥁

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Very much appreciate it! So awesome you go to see them in the early 90s. They're legends man.

[@julianparman7842]

First time I hears this song was also in THPS3 and I think it’s my favorite song in the game. Love the story you shared too. When I went to like the video I was really surprised, I expected to see hundreds of thousands of followers. Keep up the amazing content, I can see you getting big!! 💯

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Really appreciate it. That's cool you resonated with the story as well. Just like you said, I feel a lot of people discover music through games and movies this way and felt I needed to share.That I don't just play these songs for "view count". All the best.

[@LooseGoose96]

Dude you fucking crushed it

[@jessiepalermo7234]

Dude. You are bad ass. Chops af.

[@aiden2606ify]

Ficou foda demais! Parabéns mano, de longe o melhor cover dessa música aqui no yt 😄

[@Brazildjiandrums]

obrigado mano! valeu cara! 🤙🏽

[@KikeRocket]

Amazing drurmming dude 🔥!! Well done 🤙!!

[@robertaustin6302]

Crushed it brother.

[@andreschavez9671]

tony hawks pro skater 3 was really the doorway/gateway for my taste in music

[@AthanCondax]

Great cover! I discovered this track the same way you did! The creators of the THPS soundtrack were geniuses. I think this is one of the next track's I'm gonna cover too. This was so much fun to listen to!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Thank you so much, glad you dig it! Absolute masterminds at picking all the write songs. So many songs that I still listen to, to this day are from those games, many other games and skate, and snowboarding videos in general. Go kill that track man!!

[@jovanventura8726]

Fantastic cover, also one of my favorite songs... All hallows and black sails forever AFI's best

[@rogerionascimento9080]

Dude, knocked it out of the park. I liked how you talked up the video and gave your history with the band. Those bites were a nice touch too.

[@rogerionascimento9080]

I also have the same copy of that set list and I got to high five Davey Havok.

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Thanks man. Figured I'd share rather than type in the description.

[@emnuggs5410]

Wow, that was perfect

[@femalone860]

Good man.

[@austinmoehring6110]

I feel you man. Respect. My brain nearly exploded when I 1st saw Rodney Mullen's video in Tony Hawk Pro Skater. Insane song plus insane skate tricks! You played that shit perfectly sir.

[@peterberkman4882]

good shit bro

[@Roy19189]

You got it man …

[@joeltrawick9353]

So sick dude. Love it.

[@jmbc146]

Such a great cover. My then gf got us tickets for my birthday. We were front row(left side of stage) at that same show lol. Such a great band. Kinda lost me after STS but glad they are still making music and doing what they love.

[@6maniac6metal6]

Badass cover! Yeah I remember growing up in the same general neck of the woods as AFI and in high school, all the cool punk kids always wore their Black Cat patches on their jackets and backpacks… and then Girl’s Not Grey came out lol. Definitely regret never seeing them at the Phoenix in Petaluma though, the place That inspired The Days of the Phoenix

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Wow thats some cool insight there. AFI wasn't big in my school so it was only a few friends of mine that knew about them and even fewer that were into them. Repping AFI at that time to me was a badge of honor. Glad you dug the cover!

[@trunke]

Must be amazing to have an AFI´s concert as your first one back in the day! Niiiiice cover amigo

[@Thirteen31Music]

I discovered AFI in a similar way but for me it THP3 + The Offspring cover of Total Immortal on the Me, Myself & Irene soundtrack.

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Had no clue that The Offspring Total Immortal cover was on that soundtrack! I remember downloading that cover back in the napster days.

[@thugroots]

esse som me lembra o dia em que arrancaram 4 dentes da minha boca, tava num bar de rock aqui no rio mais precisamente na baixada fluminense. eu era muito tony hawk pagodeiro, ai cismei de confrontar os mano lá no bar. tombei dois no soco e um terceiro me acertou na boca com um taco de sinuca. bons tempos! foi no tomarock em duque de caxias, implantei os 4 dentes e me restou só a lembrança desse dia épico!

[@thomasnieman7086]

Great cover

[@michaelhurtado1944]

Editing is a 11/10 haha

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Haha! Glad someone appreciates it! 😅🤙🏽

[@borissidealmeida]

The music didnt start yet and I already love this vídeo. Parabéns irmão, tamo junto!

[@TheOrangesEverywhere]

awesome cover mane

[@danetalentscout7137]

Nice cover bro! that was fire. Thanks for the info on AFI

[@dj7ply]

Sick intro. Neva seen a drum cover do that but thats how u know yr not doing it for views. Does yr storage unit have power or do u have a battery pack?

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Glad you dig it! Figured I'd start sharing for the people that truly care. Not about popularity but about the appreciation of the songs and artists. At the entrance of the facility there are 4 outlets. I ran a 100 foot extension cable from there, over all the units since all units are caged in from above. Dropped it into my unit. Zip tied it so it cant be yanked and destroy my equipment when I'm not there. Connected to a surge protector that feeds to the all my devices.

[@Sydney3291]

Found afi though TH3 too, and they are my fav band because of it. Loved the time you took to talk the song though and what I means. Nice touch and different from what you normally find on here. And I saw you singing along 👍 who can't!!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Glad you enjoyed it and can relate! The memories and experiences behind music are special. I have plenty of stories alike and reasons for the songs I covered and have covered. This was a first and was too special where I needed to share. AFI in themselves are special.

[@Sydney3291]

@@Brazildjiandrums and a nice bonus, they've just announced a new album! So a load more tracks to cover 😀

[@toddbarriage]

YES. This cover is so solid, and it’s dope to see someone else running an Audix i5 on snare. Everyone uses SM57s and those mics sound like goat ass compared to the i5. I’ve got a butt ton of AFI covers in my channel too, as well as May 16 by Lagwagon. If you’ve got a minute, pop over! It’s a good time, probably. Aight I’m gonna watch this again, that was awesome

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Thanks so much for the feed back! Means a lot especially from a fellow AFI fan. I just recently got the i5 and believe this is my first cover with this upgrade and man is it a game changer. Also made some changes with a new DAW and whatnot so my mix is completely different as well. Your covers are insane!! So impressive on how you're able to completely recreate the songs. I can't imagine the amount of work it must take. Regardless its worth it because it done so well! Keep killing it man! Loved that AFI shouted you out on their page too. So much respect to them for that. All the best brother.

[@madrockxvx]

Not surprised to see you here dude! Agreed, the i5 is a gamechanger. That plus the D6 is my go to for kick and snare

[@Brazildjiandrums]

@@madrockxvx I need to get that D6 it’ll absolutely start to shape my sound for the better.

[@madrockxvx]

@@Brazildjiandrums definitely! I first got mine after asking AFI's FOH on the Burials tour what they use in the kick since it was all hidden. He told me it's a D6 in a Kelly Shu plus a Beta 91 on the floor of the kick. So then I bought a D6 and damn do they sound good!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

@@madrockxvx Wow man thats some golden nugget info right there.

Yo dude - I was at that show too, was my third afi show and goddamn was it incredible. Great drumming too, Adam taught you well, just like how I studied jades guitar my whole life hah. Good looks, keep killin it

[@caseyallen7172]

Sick. One of my favorites of theirs. You nailed it 🎃🤘

Dude this was tight! Awesome cover and awesome drum kit

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Woo! Much appreciated!

[@mcbots4074]

DUDE! Awesome cover! I also discovered AFI playing Tony Hawk 3 and really enjoyed your story. I can certainly relate haha. Keep up the great work, drums sound great too!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Glad you dug it man! Seems so small but we're pretty lucky to have experienced some of those major transitions in the evolution of video games. Wasn't aware of it at the time but man good times.

[@chorp1455]

more AFI plz! also love all the other covers you're doing, a great era of music! time to watch more!

[@chorp1455]

i should point out, the youtube algorithm got me here somehow... something is working here fo you!

good job!

Just discovered your channel and I have to say you’re really good! This AFI song is one of my favorites!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Thanks my guy! Glad you enjoyed it. It's been a minute since my last vid. Will be dropping one soon.

[@mattarenas7575]

This is such a great cover man you should do more AFI!

Fucking sick bro! Awesome cover. Love your drum kit sound!

this kicks ass dude!!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

😆Thanks dude! Glad you dig it!🤙🏽

[@1320aguilera]

Amazing drumming bro! I too was an still am a big fan of AFI. Of course I stick more to the older stuff the the instruments in those albums were just amazing! I got an electric drum set that I like to rock out on. But hopefully in the future I’ll set an actual set. Hard to find the space an room for it tho. But cheers bro!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Yo much appreciated man! Nothing like an acoustic kit. But I get you, the struggles of being a drummer is real. Most people just don't understand all the challenges that come with just even being able to sit down and play the instrument with out obstructions. Sick SRT4 btw.

[@1320aguilera]

@@Brazildjiandrums yes the struggles are real for sure. An thanks, 👍🏽 I love my car. This is the second SRT4 I’ve owned an I’m still not tired of em. 👌🏽

[@kristiantorres1080]

I liked a lot the intro of this video. I can relate with what you said about THPS3 soundtrack, it was what led me to AFI and other bands. I miss playing that game and being a kid. Cool old times! What is your favorite AFI song?

[@stevethepirate]

what snowboarding game is that? it looks amazing. hard to find realistic ones, but i love amped 1 and 2. was it an xgames game or something?

[@Brazildjiandrums]

ESPN Winter X-Games Snowboarding 2002 - It had a life bar where if you bailed too much it stop you from riding. You had to land sponsors. If you didn't do well or wear their stuff they would drop you. You actually had to build skill for your character. It was way ahead of its time. Sounds track was killer. Lookup game play on KZbin. Miss those times.

[@diogaomarassi51]

[@burningwing0]

Really sick man. Do you play in a band at all? Also, so jealous. I live in PA and I wish I could have seen them during that time period 😩.

[@Brazildjiandrums]

Thanks my guy! Nah man I don't play in a band. I just do my thing on my own. It's so tough to get multiple people all on the same page in so many different aspects. Also, I hate taking down my drum set and rebuilding it. It never feels as comfortable as it did when I got it right. Thats just me though lol.

[@thugroots]

tu é brasileiro mano? don't belive!

[@Brazildjiandrums]

I am.

[@stevensklubby]

Sounds good man! check out my guitar cover! maybe we can do a collab?
