AFI - What's in My Bag?

[@SilverFlame819]

I love Davey's brain. He is always so thoughtful, with beautiful descriptions. He seems like such a lovely human.

[@chuckyisadoll]

Do you know if the despair faction still exists

[@emilykrieger3322]

Davey fangirling over the Sisters of Mercy is making my day.

[@screambags]

It makes my silly heart warm and full knowing that there's the Blaqk Audio/Sisters tour happening after seeing how much Davey gushes over them in this.

[@FutileGrief]

Adam had some amazing picks!! And Davey knows his goth ;) No wonder they create such beautiful music

[@joncolunga673]

Lover this interview. Gives you insight into Hunter and Adam. Usually AFI interviews are just everyone sitting there silently while Davey Havok takes 3 minutes to try and articulate a sentence as well as he can.

[@Aster_Risk]

Jon That's why WIMB is awesome, because they just want the musicians to sit there and talk about their picks and not lead with questions only aimed at the singer.

[@Feycat_Wilds]

i notice Davey tries deflecting questions to their bandmates a LOT. some interviewers get annoyed and direct Q's to Davey specifically.

[@MisterLuggage]

These guys seem like super cool dudes! And their picks were awesome

[@Lucols4]

Doesn't matter if you make good music or not, if you pick Nick Cave I already like you.

AFI brought out some great horrorpunk records in the late 90s. I haven't kept up with them for a long time, but they still seem like a good bunch of dudes with a solid taste in music.

[@atrusty9729]

Geez horror punk? Micro category

[@Diogolindir]

Since Im confined to my home due to Covid, Im playing a lot of guitar and re discovering music. AFI is one of these bands I used to listen to when I was 16 and just yesterday I returned to them to find that I still like them!

[@oxrjbizzle1984y]

they had some good choices there, afi is one hell of a band, davey's got such a unique and great voice....cool episode...

[@yasuke9317]

Love Sisters too. I actually met these guys, I worked a show they played in Albuquerque. Such great guys, totally cool and very nice. They killed it that night. ❤AFI

[@HsgMat]

++ for sisters of mercy and the choice of Walk Away. Favorite stuff!

[@tovmusic]

Really loved seeing the albums that Robert De Niro picked

[@icoronado8181]

Whoah...Davey picked Suicide and Sisters of Mercy...That's rad

[@roberttreanor7252]

Hunter has the best taste AND is practical. Coincidentally, his bass lines are the best part of the band.

[@ZMCA97]

I'd be interested in seeing Al Jourgensen, Marilyn Manson (I know you had Twiggy) or Trent Reznor on WIMB

[@adot9259]

zachdahmer yes to all of them.

[@nasboost1031]

zachdahmer definitely trent. I know he would go straight to David Lynch movies lol

[@VinylandKicks86]

not surprised these dudes have awesome taste in music one of the few bands out of the early '00s "emo scene" that i think were actually talented.i know they were doing punk in the '90s before they changed their sound that era of their music is also very solid.

[@bucketsAMF]

We'll just forget the whole screamo bullshit they tried to pull. Black Sails forever. And don't get me wrong, I love screamo and still listen to a lot of that garbage to this day, but their take sucked.

[@alexmohr1072]

@@bucketsAMF your take sucked

[@ComradeStiv]

AFI to me by now are like great old friends I've never met. Had a big ol grin thru this whole sitdown and got a bunch of music to check out. Bcz if my homies like it ........

[@fauxmosmexual]

the fact that davey havok is a spandau ballet fan rocks my world

[@SerenityChaos1975]

fauxmosmexual you can totally hear The Cure and The Smiths on Crash Love, not surprised at all that he is heavily influenced by that era of music

[@Thecriticalplug]

Yoooo I hear the Influence on Davey from Sisters of Mercy 😱

[@Bravado1989]

I love it when people have eclectic taste in music.

[@kimonocrow]

Was not expecting that Suicide record! i got very happy seeing Davey pick it!

[@Kajwixi]

Davey having the absolute best taste in music. 🥀

[@AlilBitAlexxis]

I love this so much. amoeba is where I bought my first AFI record ❤

[@nickfromCO]

Not an AFI fan but they have some kick ass taste in music...pleasantly surprised.

[@BrenCustomCreations]

Thank you for another great episode of 'What's in My Bag'. Such an interesting and enjoyable show.

[@amoeba]

+CaliPoppyRocks thanks for watching!

[@markshadows3667]

great episode. Over the years I've been introduced to lots of bands from Davey especially. Would love to see one of these with Wes Eisold.

[@Diatonic5th]

Sisters of Mercy and Bobby Hutcherson! Good picks here.

[@DavidDantePhoenix]

Would definitely be interested to have a peak in Jade's bag, too.

[@KnaveMurdok]

Sisters of Mercy HAS to be criminally underrated because little known fact about goths is that they actually hate their own music so the best way to know how good a goth band is is by how many goths hate them.

[@medes5597]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYqqqnZjoKtjbNk This song about Andrew Eldritch dealing with being forgotten by so many people touches on that exact theme.

[@SerenityChaos1975]

What!? All the goths I hung out with back in the late 80s/90s loved and still love The Sisters Of Mercy.

[@automatwinslaytracks]

Why are you acting like you know shit when you absolutely don’t?

[@matthews852]

@@automatwinslaytracks Andrew made it abundantly clear that the Sisters weren’t goth. I would say most bands from the era that fell under the goth umbrella resented the label. Peter Murphy, Robert Smith, Siouxsie, Jaz Coleman all rejected the notion they were goth . Even Rozz Williams worked the rest of his career to shed the goth attachment, and he’s about as goth as it gets. This sentiment trickled down to fans as well, so I’d say he does know what he’s talking about. Maybe you don’t??

[@automatwinslaytracks]

@@matthews852 I was referring to "the best way to know how good a goth band is is by how many goths hate them." Sisters is in the holy trinity of bands beloved by goths

[@BikiniDeathSquad]

Love the Sisters of Mercy album

[@livingabstraction2206]

Can't agree enough on the Blue Cheer, Suicide, and A Tribe Called Quest selection. Do need to check out to check out the Nigerian artist they were talking about. He seems very interesting.

[@bullenmabior9220]

Living Abstraction he is great, checkout atomic bomb by him

[@CelticMudkip]

William Onyeabor had a bit of a revival in the last few years, and a greatly renewed interest in his work. It's a shame he passed away, but at least his work was given new life in the last years of his life. SUPER worth checking out in full (and I do mean in full).

[@Underthejrose]

Really enjoyed seeing these picks from the guys; 3/4 of my favorite band. I had a feeling Adam's collection was mostly psychedelic and trippy rock stuff. That space song was cool, I will be looking further into that one. Hunter's record case was a great loophole in the series sequence, and I'm glad he mentioned Onyeabor. I expected a Sisters of Mercy record to pop up, but didn't think a picture disc would. Oh Dave! It would be interesting if he tried singing in his Andrew Eldritch impersonation voice XD

[@numsiskit]

Shout out to the Tribe. Glad that one made this video. One of the better hip hop albums ever, imo.

[@stace_d]

LOVE THEM.

[@boywonders]

They have great taste! Can't wait to see them in Pittsburgh in June!

[@OtherMike5000]

Best Spandau Ballet song EVER!!!

[@drewkatchen805]

The moment Adam pulled out Nick Cave's The Good Son, I knew this was going to be an awesome episode!

[@Chillmvster]

Great selections

[@Dan-Null]

I think Davey Havok was wearing a snuggie with a zipper on it.

[@stephperson9338]

I realize on the 16 years I’ve been listening to AFI that I have severely underestimated Adam because he just brought up my favorite Spiritualized album and everything I love about it.

[@pabloisusi6097]

You can tell they are floating in the space. What an album! God bless Jason Pierce.

[@JohmathanBSwift]

Nick Cave did a piece that made the movie Until the End of the World. Sort of a dire detective do or die piece. Without that song the movie , well anyways. Love the vibraphone, Lionel Hampton.Back then you had Wes Montgomery ,Little Jimmy Scott, Sony Rollins .Most of that music I didn't understand until I listened to Thelonious Monk's Brilliant Corners. Since then,.... Blue Cheer yup. You can't forget Blood Rock. My Brother got me into Sisters of Mercy. Bout the same time my friend got me into Christian Death. My musical tastes have never been the same. Bolshoi's Sunday Morning , Gene Loves Jezebel ,.... kiss of life.,,, Got to see David Byrne when he did the rei momo tour. Great show. Got to meet him briefly the next day. It's kinda weird when you meet someone that you've admired for sometime, but very cool too . There just normal people who like coffee to. I just love this whole what's in your bag . Really good musicians sharing their musical likes.
