If AFI inspires you, great. If they are a band you listen to when you get tired of Matchbox20, cool. If AFI is your life, that's cool. But don't act like they or any band is an object that is to be admired, don't put the image of the band before the music. Cut the drama out of music people, you rather like it or you don't, music is not a fashion statement to wear and make people like you, its a form of expression that shows people what you are about. Call it an opinion generator if you like, just like every other form of expressing one's self.

Who gives a fuck. They deserve some money don't think? Do you think they want to be making horror punk when they are 60? Come the fuck on. Let them move on and enjoy the godliness that is old AFI.

I mean there not getting any younger there isn’t exactly a company pension for rock stars and lets face it…you’ll starve in the indy seen sooner or later! So fuck it, they did there thing, rocked the hell out of the punk seen, made amazing albums and then decided to make some money…what the fuck is wrong with that? That’s not really selling out its smart! Answer me this people if there music is “maturing” then why does there audience keep getting younger? Please I can’t be the only one to notice this! They were great in there time, now there a gimmic and a name. But a gimmic and name with groundbreaking albums under there belt and props to that! Not to mention loaded and set for life! More then I can say! hahaha Ok,here’s my thing….AFI have sold out, there new music is not progressive from there old music it has regressed and been shaped to make money…think about it it makes sence, and really I cant blame them.

They are my favorite band. They always will be. I don't care for DU, but I wouldn't call it bad. It's just not their best effort. I also think that they grew up. They have matured as people, as well as as artists. To say that they are "sell-outs" is stupid. Just beacuse a band becomes successful, does not mean that they have sold out. I love AFI.

The only reason that their music had changed is because they change, they mature. They can't always write about cereal. Also when major things happen in your life you tent to write about them. All AFI did was grow up. Look People don’t freak out. The only reason that their music had changed is because they change, they mature. They can’t always write about cereal.
