You know what's sad? If you ask a modern AFI fan what the first AFI album was, they'll say "Uhh... Sing the Sorrow, right?" They have NO clue about the old stff. I mean, the new stuff is great, but the old AFI was just as ood, if not better, and people should know that stuff before they call themselves "fans"
GAHHHHH MCR ARE AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, FUCKING GREAT....AND GUESS WHAT SO IS AFI...get over it if they all wanna do a cover of one of their fav artists.....and hell yeah Moz's own is gunna be the best....but these ones live up to it xxx
this version is more true to the original, but the mcr version was a good hardcore punk arangement perhaps if they rerecoded it properly it would sound sharper all three versions are good
hey guys a lot of you are hating afis new stuff. i mean, sure its not pure punk anymore but a band isnt meant to stay the same.. what fun would it be if all the albums sounded the same? part of a bands job is to evolve. they like their music and so their fans should too right? i mean, we are their fans..well i am =] lets be fan friends mann.
Yeah, I was talking to this one girl about Blaqk Audio (which I loved) and she was like "I didn't like that. I was more into the older stuff. Like decemberunderground" and I was like "Umm... that came out last year (at the time that time was accurate).
Lmao honestly having grown up listening to AFI i used to hate on people who started listening to AFI during the sing the sorrow era but now that im older sing the sorrow is my absolute favorite afi album. kinda dont care as much for the early stuff now
actually, they used Anthems for Insubordinates as some sort of production thing on the first 2 or 3 albums.The name was almost always A Fire Inside. I saw an old interview with Davey and he was talking about it.
I'll do my best to find it for ya bro. It's kind of hard to find though. I think it's "Davey Havok on old punk show" or something like that. It's one of the oldies though.
If I could find the pro-recorded - not just recorded crappy so it sounds like it's live - version, then it would probably sound better. Does anyone know where I can listen to it?
no probs and yeah i understand what you mean....like up untill 2 months ago i only had 3 songs on my iPod and thats all i knew from them....no big deal if i dont know any others....
@bjjplyr1 no? they had a song called jack the ripper but its different. Morrisy has a completly different song that also happens to be called jack the ripper...im pretty sure of it...
nicely put dude look i cant stand AFIs new stuff they cahnged WAY too much but i not sayin u guys should hate them too just tink out if ur fav band changed to sometin u hate :(
Ive heard this, Morrissey, and MCR's versions of the song, and I prefer MCR over the three. Their cover has one of the coolest bass lines Ive heard in any song, and I like the way they sped it up, yet still managed to make the song longer. If anyone on this site wants to go at something and say that a band "sucks" then they might want to go back and check on themselves, the sound like they know an awful lot about sucking on something. Theres nothing wrong with any version, so keep it to yourself
MORRISSEY!!! This is better than the Killers cover of "why don't you find out for yourself." i don't like the killers, but i like morrissey and that cover is really good. i listen to more stuff like AFI, old and new
they were only trying to create a version of the song due to the fact they have the ability to sing and are in a band, they have the recording equipment and Moz is evidently one of their heros so back off, they can cover the song if they want...
While not spectacular (the song itself is not so good), the idea of the choir in the background was great. I would like the concept being applied by AFI in a song of their own to a greater extent. Not to spam the idea, but experiment with it.
i get your point imagine if metallica released kill em all every year, we'd never have master of puppets! but they did release st anger (if you get my confusing metaphor :P)
I'm not saying ALL of them, but for alot of them it's true. The first one I got was sing the sorrow. I just find the one's that don't even know abbout the old stuff but still consider themselves diehard AFI fans annoying.
man i miss the old days. when afi was a badass punk band. heavily influenced by the misfits, but still pretty original...now it just sounds like he's crying in every song. oh well
No offense and it's honestly an honest question but is AFI emo? Im sorry i listen to punk and they covered an Misfit song so i checked them out they sounds okay but was just wondering
If I could find the pro-recorded version of the My Chemical Romance cover of this song, it would probably sound better. Does anyone know whwre I can find it?
why the hell are you getting thumbs down when you are merely stating you own opinion on the matter ppl cant give you thumbs down for only liking 2 of afi's songs GAH LOL XX
@Necromancerfreak666 This is so far from the truth... Morrissey wrote the song and that is a well known fact. If by some odd chance mcr wrote it then why wouldn't they have a studio version?
afi version of this song sound similar to morrissey. mcr version give this song a different approach which not many people like. i like the mcr version more in my opinion xP
i love this song
and I love how affectionately AFI sang it. it's pretty ironic considering what this song is about.
Still love this.
good song, afi is such a great band. all their albums are great, easily one of the best rock bands of the 90s and 2000s!
This cover is love
I remember listening to this in 2007, middle school 🥹🖤
You know what's sad? If you ask a modern AFI fan what the first AFI album was, they'll say "Uhh... Sing the Sorrow, right?" They have NO clue about the old stff. I mean, the new stuff is great, but the old AFI was just as ood, if not better, and people should know that stuff before they call themselves "fans"
Great song, very well performed as well.
Always interesting
This is a cover of Morrissey's Jack the Ripper.
A.F.I did a good job :D
Anyone who covers Morrissey is alright in my book
I'm addicted to this song right now.
It's just...wow.
GAHHHHH MCR ARE AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, FUCKING GREAT....AND GUESS WHAT SO IS AFI...get over it if they all wanna do a cover of one of their fav artists.....and hell yeah Moz's own is gunna be the best....but these ones live up to it xxx
YES ITS THAT PIC! :)
i love the pic at the end :}
ooh, this is a great cover :)
I think Davey Havok is the only person in the world who should even attempt to cover a morrissey or cure song because both are awesome (:
i think it's awesome how davey sings with an english accent
it makes up for all the english folk who sing with an american accent
Nailed it. Perfect.
this version is more true to the original, but the mcr version was a good hardcore punk arangement
perhaps if they rerecoded it properly it would sound sharper
all three versions are good
Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

AFI forever!!!!!!!
:]]
i like this cover. it's very nice. i would admit that mcr really did a bad job covering it but i like mcr's too.
If I could find the pro-recorded - not just recorded crappy so it sounds like it's live - version, then it would probably sound better. Does anyone know where I can listen to it?
Hahaha, I like you, someone finally decides to show some manners on a youtube video, yes, good job on this coldwinter08
not from New York, he's from Berkely California. The song is also a cover by Morrissey
It's a really good cover, and it puts an interesting new spin on the song, but in my opinion, nothing beats the original.
DecemberUnderGOD.
no probs and yeah i understand what you mean....like up untill 2 months ago i only had 3 songs on my iPod and thats all i knew from them....no big deal if i dont know any others....
Hmmm same here lol i was like "even if i click this link and its shit i will still love it!" bahaa
@bjjplyr1 no? they had a song called jack the ripper but its different. Morrisy has a completly different song that also happens to be called jack the ripper...im pretty sure of it...
Yeah, because evolving over time is certainly what prefabs do...
BTW, Robert Smith rules.
@bjjplyr1 wrong. Moz wrote it. The Horrors happen to have a song with the same name.
nicely put dude look i cant stand AFIs new stuff they cahnged WAY too much but i not sayin u guys should hate them too just tink out if ur fav band changed to sometin u hate :(

This is a horror punk song
MORRISSEY!!! This is better than the Killers cover of "why don't you find out for yourself." i don't like the killers, but i like morrissey and that cover is really good. i listen to more stuff like AFI, old and new
yeah man :D
what is the name of the song composed by Morrisey that was made again by AFI?
thought so, morrissey is amazing
@coldwinter08
Some untruly, it's from Love Like Winter single :D
where did you get the pic at 1:05? i NEED it and i can't find it anywhere.
This is a good cover actually, but no one... and I mean NO ONE can express so much feelings in his voice as Moz does...
so who's supposed to be "satiring" or "parodying" in your opinion? Obey or Afi's singer?
Agreed
they were only trying to create a version of the song due to the fact they have the ability to sing and are in a band, they have the recording equipment and Moz is evidently one of their heros so back off, they can cover the song if they want...
While not spectacular (the song itself is not so good), the idea of the choir in the background was great.
I would like the concept being applied by AFI in a song of their own to a greater extent. Not to spam the idea, but experiment with it.
MORRISSEY. the AFI and My Chemical Romance versions are both covers. go look up the original, it's the best.
I agree on that subject.
Hahahaha! that was funny
0:35....godly
its the way its gotta be ^_^
hmmm same here there just so amazing and tallented despite what everyone says about them =] xxx
i get your point
imagine if metallica released kill em all every year, we'd never have master of puppets!
but they did release st anger
(if you get my confusing metaphor :P)
bad ass cool fuck yey cool i loved it
um ppl jack the ripper was also written by MCR afi covered it i kinda like MCRs version this one is a bit slow for me but still i love AFI
I'm not a big fan of Morrisey, but I msut igve ti to him for composing such a great song.
I love morrissey and AFI's versions, but I must say that the orginal is better. I think AFI cover is awesome too.
I'm not saying ALL of them, but for alot of them it's true. The first one I got was sing the sorrow. I just find the one's that don't even know abbout the old stuff but still consider themselves diehard AFI fans annoying.
cool
man i miss the old days. when afi was a badass punk band. heavily influenced by the misfits, but still pretty original...now it just sounds like he's crying in every song. oh well
No offense and it's honestly an honest question but is AFI emo?
Im sorry i listen to punk and they covered an Misfit song so i checked them out
they sounds okay but was just wondering
If I could find the pro-recorded version of the My Chemical Romance cover of this song, it would probably sound better. Does anyone know whwre I can find it?
@Pakojerte323 i was thinking the same thing for the same reason LOL
That's what I always wondered. A big hmmm.....
AFI are a better band than MCR in every way, no matter what any of you say
20. How old are you??
Fuck this! I'm gonna write a "Jack the Ripper" that's not copywritten AND will sound like old AFI!
Yellow eyeshadow ftw
isn't this a morrissey cover?
Dave's manner
why the hell are you getting thumbs down when you are merely stating you own opinion on the matter ppl cant give you thumbs down for only liking 2 of afi's songs GAH LOL XX
yo, im here, how about you, u got a bowl to smoke while im listening to you type?
@Necromancerfreak666 This is so far from the truth... Morrissey wrote the song and that is a well known fact. If by some odd chance mcr wrote it then why wouldn't they have a studio version?
afi version of this song sound similar to morrissey. mcr version give this song a different approach which not many people like. i like the mcr version more in my opinion xP
We can't just hate them because they've changed. How fun would it be for any group to stay the exact same for 17 years? Terrible.
MORRISSEY
i love Morrissey, but I like AFI's version more.
This cover isn't as bad as I thought it would be, It's not completely offensive. 3/5
the misfits covered astro zombies dude
2022
well good for you some people like it and some dont
MCR's version was shit.
This is almost as good as the orginal.
AFI rules.
He didn't write it, doll.
It's a Morrissey cover.
ok i think this song. im not a fan of morrissey but i like this cover
@TastiusBurger Jimmy Eat World is emo? Uh...okay...
I'm not even gonna bother arguing.
i agree with misspromchicks
The "Shit version" would be that of My Chemical Romance.
Cause going from sounding like punk to screamo/emo music is really really not trendy at all, and really a great expansion on your vocals
Ever heard of satire/parody? It was the whole point of the T-shirt.
@Pakojerte323 Nah AFI isnt emo. Like their early stuff was punk now their like alternative rock well thats what i think they are its confusing.
It's alright but it will never compare to the great Morrissey's OG version.
@TheAmericanFrenchman If I cared whether he was gay or not, I wouldn't have supported them for this long.
'gerad' indeed.
i olny like MCR'S old stuff
Wuuw... awesome... but I p´refer MCR´s cover, because I like their punk style XD...
Byezzzzz
this sounds like a different song than the one that My Chemical Romance covered
