Was AFI cooler when the singer was trying to be Danzig or now, when he's trying to be Dave Vanian?

Also, to rip off Mitch Clem's http://www.nothingnice.com/ punk rock web comic, Davey Havoc is pretty hot for a goth chick.

Really, I can't judge the band (only make fun of), because I've only heard one song that's on the Punkrock Broadcasting System video, which I bought for the Refused video thats on it.

Agreed. Can't get beyond that guy's voice.

three years pass...

He looks like Alan Cumming in their new video "Miss Murder".

man they were so much better as pop-punk danzig lite.

I will admit to a weakness for pantomime goth-metal, but the vocals seem like absolutely bog-standard 'anthemic' emo-whine, and absolutely nothing like Vanian whatsoever.

Actually, come to think of it, Alan Cumming at the helm of some kind of industrial-metal combo could be a pretty entertaining proposition.

How old is the AFI guy? He looks about 40 in the video.

He's 30.

Alan Cumming is probably a better singer, too.

they don't sound anything like the damned anyway, he just looks a bit like dave vanian back when he was all pretty and goth.

i really enjoyed their first two albums.

I love Miss Murder. Is the rest of the album similar to that song?

i am otm in 2003

rest of the album is a disappointment, esp if you like this single.
