I worked at a venue in in 2001-2003 and met Davey Havok, Actually Played a few games of Tekken with him, and hung out for a few mins,.One of the nicest and most down to earth "rock stars", I have ever met.
I know right!! I really enjoy when Nardwuar interviews AFI; it seems to be a very pleasurable experience for everyone involved, viewers included. Though I find it odd that it's always Davey and Jade, never Hunter or Adam.
AFI is a really cool band. As much as I don't like their recent work, they have an extensive history and have made some really good music in their time as a band.
They seem much more... Happy with Nardwuar in this interview than the last one. The one back from the STS tour, they seemed soooo pissed off at him. xD
Ha ha deadly interview, I love these guys, and no offense, but you guys gotta get over this whole "Davey is gay" thing. Even if he IS gay (which is entirely possible) he it still awesome.
@QmegaNC Was that last bit referring to this interview or Nardwuar interviews in general? Because Nardwuar generally has way more music knowledge than the bands he interviews, but in this one, AFI is going toe-to-toe with him on all of these subjects and even besting him on a few. Which I'm sure he enjoyed cause he likes giving good interviews and learning new things.
@sonik-boom, please elaborate how loving a band's new material AND their old material, and being part of a younger crowd (when that cannot be helped) means you "must be a poser" ?
Sounds like sonik boom's suffering from poser-pose. Thats where he's actually the poser, and to try and seem like he fits in, he calls someone out who's not being a poser. If you like what u like, then no one can judge you. Just let the idiots make themselves look stupid.
Nardwuar knew, before the interview, that they were recently talking about Gilman Street and the banana girl. I mean, out of all the stories from Gilman to bring up, he mentions the one they were talking about a few days prior. Nardwuar always does his research. :)
omfg all of narduars interviews are always so standovish and its funny to watch. if you watch his inteview with Panic! at the Disco its sooooooo funny.theyre all like wtf?! xD
holy s*** narwaur really researches his stuff. i was following almost everything untill they started talking about "the steps"... "sweet baby > sweet children > dead baby" lmao.
hahaha. thats awesome. AFI must like Nardwuar, since they keep doing interviews with him =P and holy f### Davey and Jade know alot about other bands =P
@@bigpurpleflower2185 the fanbase killed rock then. The stupid fanbase following everything that MTV told them to follow in which they did. I feel like I witnessed it with my own eyes. In 1997 the kids who wore nirvana shirts, by 98 were now sporting silver chains and trying to imitate black culture because all of a sudden it was cool thanks to MTV. I think MTV has alot to do with the death of rock n roll. Emo was such a stupid label to what we used to call indie rock in the 90's. Bands like Sunny Day Real Estate was the pioneers of that sound and then came the posers in the 2000's with that same sound and calling it emo as a way to emasculate the genre for a bunch of young pussies to call that music their own while they cut themselves and go out shopping at the mall like mallrats looking for the tightest small black shirts to wear at Hot Topic. Rock died when the pussy boys took over.
@@charlestonrezz5188 Nah, it's people like you. If you can't see the real issue here, you never will, and I pity you. I pity you, blind man. I pity you.
The funniest part is when Davey starts talking about the Headmaster of the frat being gay...That was too funny, although niether Jade, nor Narduwar thot it to be as funny as Davey did...I kno he's not gay, but he seemed to be the only one interested in that fact. + i wanna kno, how did he kno this? Did he "walk in" one time, cuz if he did, Davey I'm sorry.
Jerry Knuckles naw man I think that in the end they’re still a good band even to this day,and I think they knew people were gonna say that about the shades that’s probably why he wore them
megadeth4ever8000 - That's an idiotic statement man. I mean, I agree that if you don't play what you feel and are only attempting to sell, that makes you fake. But that doesn't describe AFI in any way. First, "emo" is not a legitimate genre. That's a label that only immature people use. DU-era AFI is influenced by many old pop/new wave influences. The word "emo" has nothing to do with it at all. Grow up man, not every band that becomes more mainstream friendly is automatically selling out.
You can really tell that they were signed by a label alongside Green Day, because they sound a lot like them judging by those clips. I didn't listen to anything beyond Sing the Sorrow. Which I just listened to again and loved just like I did 12 years ago...
well if you look at some of the other comments apparently i am speacking for alot of other people to and emo aint real music its a way for people to feel sorry for themselves and afi WAS good at music now they changed for publicity if they kept there old sound and got big id give them props but dont change who you are for sales because then your just a sell out and dont trully feel what you play and that makes you a fake
Know one really cares about what you think is real music and what is Emo, just leave those comment to your self if people enjoy AFI let them be. Myself I love AFI's old music and new music I believe that they are incredible producer of music so go and find something to do instead of writing your pathetic little comment thank you for you time.
I worked at a venue in in 2001-2003 and met Davey Havok, Actually Played a few games of Tekken with him, and hung out for a few mins,.One of the nicest and most down to earth "rock stars", I have ever met.
Rev_Rob tekken?? siiick
What was his main
Studio Seven?
Too cool
They're digging this interview. Nardwuar asks relevant questions and digs deep into band histories.
Davey is a down to earth guy. Nardwuar has deep knowledge.
I love Davey and his music, but he's about as far from 'down to earth' as it gets lol
Love Afi
Very Proud of Ya is still one of the best punk albums ever.
Nardwuar always has the most interesting interviews because he digs for info and doesnt ask the same generic questions
"She started talking to me. And then later, she had a banana inside her."
Classic.
your comment is 20 years old 😮
lol "i had a thing for blue hair" and "I thought she died!"
i love davey lol
I feel like this interview has the most balanced and smooth amount of bandmate mic inclusion/transition of any Nard interview.
This band really got me into writing poetry in middle school
They're always so kind to their interviewers because they know the fans are watching. Very considerate.
Do not ever compare the legendary Nardwuar to that goof Bryan Stars.
Yes XD
emo era legends. top tier hairstyle between these two among the entire scene at the time
I saw them when they toured with Green Day in August of 2010
They';re amazing live GREAT performers
They even sang their first songs
I love the fact that they talk about old school stuff like the Gilman. I go to the Gilman about once a month to see a show. That place is amazing.
( 7:33 ) Davey Havok: the only person who gets as excited as I do about gay sex.
7:33
I know right!! I really enjoy when Nardwuar interviews AFI; it seems to be a very pleasurable experience for everyone involved, viewers included. Though I find it odd that it's always Davey and Jade, never Hunter or Adam.
This was like the most informative Nardwuar interview ever.
omg can't believe i'm finding this now xD
"Zac is no longer straight-edge". PAUSE!
Haha, you can so tell that he wanted to say something else but decided against it.
AFI is a really cool band. As much as I don't like their recent work, they have an extensive history and have made some really good music in their time as a band.
i love how they talk about green day, afi and green day is my fave bands!!!
there needs to be a "Nardwuar vs The Used" i bet Bert would get so annoyed by this guy lol
absolutely
If ur asking where the interview was it was most likely in Vancouver (the city), British Columbia, Canada. Or somewhere near there.
I like how you played their only two greatest hits.
wow...these guys are really down to earth.
They seem much more... Happy with Nardwuar in this interview than the last one. The one back from the STS tour, they seemed soooo pissed off at him. xD
damn they were so down to earth
OH MY GOODNESSS! now i can watch both and just laugh and smile all the time.
i love these.
Best interview ever.
i just love this video, i always will
Oh god I missed this years ago. It was quite nice revisiting my old afi period.
It would've been so great if Jade said "Darby's balls."
Ha ha deadly interview, I love these guys, and no offense, but you guys gotta get over this whole "Davey is gay" thing. Even if he IS gay (which is entirely possible) he it still awesome.
NARDWUAR FOREVER
Nardwar Vs. Blaqk Audio!!
''zack is no longer.... straight edge.'' SMOKIN WEED in rage baby.
This video reminded me of the Nerve Agents I used to love that band!
listen to Son Of Sam if you can't get enough Davey Havok
Nardwuar vs. AFI (2017) pls
I thought they would end up at the fence the amount of steps back they take
He was v aggressive with that mic 😂
Both these guys look like they're going to ask to speak with the manager after the interview.
most people Narduar interviews are angyr or annoyed at him. But AFI are really nice.

Nardwuar is amazing.
emo means emotional pop-punk/hardcore. there are other influences like hair metal and stuff too.
I expected those final comments from Davey.
LOL Pretty much he is...Davey and Jade are saints for not beating him w/ that microphone...

holy s*** narwaur really researches his stuff.

LOL! The very end made me laugh.
omg Davey talks fast
R.I.P emo
Fuck emo. Emo killed rock.
@@charlestonrezz5188 Lmao naah.
@@charlestonrezz5188 Rock isn't dead, but it's the fanbase that's to blame for putting it in a coma.

Davey Havok is such an awesome guy.
Savio Steps!
and then later, she had a banana inside her - legendary quote
Holy fuck is this band still alive?
I love Nardwuar and AFI, )sad that they've left their punk/hardcore ways behind) but Davey's glasses are gayer than my profile pic.
Jerry Knuckles naw man I think that in the end they’re still a good band even to this day,and I think they knew people were gonna say that about the shades that’s probably why he wore them
You're right. I was being an asshole.
I love how Davey corrects him @3:06 XD
dbags that throw "bro" in every sentence piss me off.
Nardwuar vs AfI x2. AGAIN. AGAIN.

At what point did afi go from punk to emo? I remember liking a.song ....somtbing pheonix? Then after that hating everything elsd they did
As funny as your comment was, (I'm actually cracking up up right now), that's rude.

Brax1982 They sound like Green Day? Lay off the moonshine.
Literally the fucking dumbest thing I've ever read
i was thinking how gay he was until he name-dropped samiam and jawbreaker
well if you look at some of the other comments apparently i am speacking for alot of other people to and emo aint real music its a way for people to feel sorry for themselves and afi WAS good at music now they changed for publicity if they kept there old sound and got big id give them props but dont change who you are for sales because then your just a sell out and dont trully feel what you play and that makes you a fake
Hey, don't rag on him, look how close the h key is to the g key. BAHAHAHAHAHA
