WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE AFI SONG??? 🖤 heck, gimme a top 5 it's hard to pick y'know?

To me, my favourite song of theirs has to be Bleed Black. From lyrics that express ones questioning of existence to the thought that life implies death (vice versa) to the melodic hook, it give a positive outlook on looking at my own questioning of existence. Its a beautiful song.

Miss Murder came out the year I started playing bass so that's my pick. Definitely a lot of memories with that song. I'd say my favorite off Sing the Sorrow is probably Celluloid Dream or Leaving Song p2. Summer Shudder, Love Like Winter and Kill Caustic are other mentions. Like you said its hard to just pick one song since they have so many great ones.

@@Victorvonbass Summer Shudder is such an incredibly written song. Like, a lot of AFI songs, it HAS to be done by AFI or it just isn't good... Summer Shudder feels like it transcends the band, while simultaneously being elevated by AFI being the ones performing it. That's a really weird thought to put to words, I hope that made sense!

Jesus Christ dude this album was so so SO huge for me and you did it man, you really did it justice.

AFI’s last truly great hardcore masterpiece!!! Such a unique blend of hardcore, horror punk and a hint of goth rock/deathrock! God I miss the old AFI so much 😿

31 years old now. I was Ten years old when I first heard this album, I didn't know it then but it would end up being one of the best albums not only in their discography but in the post-hardcore genre. You did this a great justice, man.

I was a young punk kid in the early 2000s. In 2002 I discovered AFI and their album, The Art of Drowning, which quickly led me to Black Sails in The Sunset. These records changed my life, immediately. I was poised and primed for Sing The Sorrow, and it was the only record I listened to for 6 months. It taught me lesson that great riffs are more impactful than shredding, any day. I'm the person you made this video for, its amazing, and thank you.

STS taught me so much about songwriting and arrangement, you're 100% right that a great riff is more impactful than shredding. I consider some music to be more of an athletic display, than an actual artistic expression (not that they can't coexist) and this record probably had a lot to do with that haha

I’m so awestruck by these covers, they are perfectly faithful while bringing a freshness to the album. And to do it all virtually solo??? Todd is an awesome dude and a damn talented musician

i used to listen the shit out of this album and decemberunderground back in high school. time to dive deep back into them again

This is the only perfect album I've ever heard. 21 years later and it still gives me chills.

Dude... your vocal match is so damn close I had to pull up the original to make sure there was a difference. Davey's voice is so unique. Well done. That's a monster album to cover.

I guess people don't have the slightest idea how MUCH work such an effort is. Learning the songs, rehearsing every section of every instrument, then recording, then filming, then editing the recording, mixing, mastering, then editing the video. This is a work for a team of 20 people. None of your favourite musicians form the 20th century was capable of putting out anything close to that. The biggest musicians of the century were just responsible to know their parts and were surrounded by a load of other people to do the rest of the work for the product taht would finally be on a record..

Every time I listen to this album, I find myself NEEDING to listen to Death of Seasons like... right away. The outro is almost haunting... like pain but in a void where no one else can hear you.

Man, 20 years on and But Home is Nowhere still rules.

Honestly, for myself, I think you’re right! I had plans to cover a bunch more albums like this, but i don’t like to ever feel like I’m moving backwards. And this was definitely the most love, torment, and dedication I’ve ever put into anything If you go back through my channel’s history, you’ll notice that as soon as I was done with STS I switched gears to having as much fun as I possibly can haha

This album shaped the shit out of my upbringing. This is fucking awesome and I loved The Leaving Song the most

Holy shit!!! I watched all of it, dude, YOU ARE AMAZING!! Genuinely the best cover for ANY Sing The Sorrow material i've ever seen!! You're fucking incredible, seriously!

I don't think people.realise how amazing you are. You're something like a combination of Deryck Whibley, Travis Barker and Jerry Finn with added skills they don't possess.

It’s the exact song it needed to be, and I’m very proud of it - ffm.to/ltly I’ll also be dropping another original song here on this channel on April 13th. I’ll be in LA recording the vocals and shooting the music video next week. Gonna be a rush to get it done and out in time, but I’m looking forward to the hustle :) I do want to add, that even if my original music never takes off, these covers make me so happy. I love coming up with the silly little twists and re-arranging the songs. Obviously with this AFI record I didn’t re arrange anything at all, but you watch my channel so you know what I mean haha. You’re awesome, I appreciate you with my whole heart. Thank you for believing in me

Criminally underrated cover. Great work!

I saw AFI on the Sing The Sorrow tour and it's still one of the best live shows I've been to. Seing Davey Havok crowdwalk blew me away. Also I love that you have not just one, but two Rebecca Black/Black Flag mashup t-shirts

I met Adam and told him in person that I learned to play drums due to first track on STS. Then I saw him drinking a beer later at the bowling alley.

I agree about the changing of my life part. I had something devastating happen to me in 03. This album helped me through it 1000%. The vinyl just re-released a couple months ago and I bought 6 copies. Lol. It's that important to me. Sing the Sorrow is when I really started listening to em. But also.. Black Sails, Art of Drowning, Decemberunderground, Crash Love are up there as well. But STS will always be #1. And this is an amazing cover, tribute 🙏🤘

This was the first alternative album I ever heard, back in like 5th ir 6th grade. I STILL rock out to this whole cd \m/ Absolutely EPIC!!!!!!

This album by AFI was SO good and damn if you didn’t just hit it out of the park with your rendition. Faithful yet unique. I want to play both versions back to back on a loop. So good

Miss Murder delivered AFI to me so I have to add that to the list but the entire Sing the Sorrow album, in order is it for me. Amazing work man! you brought about every nuance to the table for this cover. Absolutely brilliant!

Okay I never really was deep into AFI but with that you gave me an absolutely important reason to listen much more to AFI!

Wow. Big afi guy here and this has to feel so cool to be able to go and replay one of the best albums ever

This album changed my life as well. It was a time where this band evolved in such an amazing way with every release. It was like Christmas times 1000 when this album was released. Incredible work on the covers! It's really too bad the direction AFI have now gone.

Bought this album when I was 12 and I note it as one of those early albums that shaped my tastes forever...probably a big reason I ended up getting into more experimental and even electronic types of music, because before this I was listening to more straight radio rock.

Oh my god man. This is just absolutely incredible. I can't believe how amazing you are being able to play all of these instruments and sing so good. Really appreciate the time you put into this and the dedication it took. Simply amazing! Thanks for sharing this with all of us!
