    My band played with AF in Champagne, IL in 99’. I was so amped to play with Mike Kinsella.
    Our drummer who was normally rock solid forgot or played the wrong song altogether the entire set.
    It ended with me throwing my bass at him. He looked at our guitar player and said, “I had an off night.”
    Funny story now, but at the time I was furious.

    • @postmalort9267

      One reason it's hard to peg American Football and AFI as the same genre is because American Football and AFI are not the same genre.

      t. papaccio This is live. Again live recordings are different,with less quality,it's even different on how it sounds in the rooms (acoustic of it).They're all different sounding,being in the concert,listening to an studio album or listening recorded live. Also maybe he had a sore throat.

    I think I first heard this song 18 years ago, and I swear each time I listen to it, it gets better. I don't know if it will ever get better than this version though, with the crowd echoing "overly" before the song speeds up. Only thing that would beat it is if they come to Australia.

      Now you said that, i kinda feel the same too. Maybe the feel of small midwestern city kinda resonate with the movie.

      I went to the show coming from Chicago and I could tell you the reason that is is because we were all too busy singing along and literally not wanting to lose one precious second of this moment that we all wanted to hear American football perform live in micase I spent half my life just looking forward to that
