Davey changed my life... in 6th grade i bought the Halloween E.P... and after that, it took me only 3 months to buy every AFI cd... now i am a hardcore vocalist, and it's all thanks to him.

You'd think if you were such a big fan, you might learn the name of the record you supposedly bought.

Davey is a legend. He's paid his dues in the music world. Dudes official.

I smile when I see Davey appear on anything.

AFI was the most influential band of my youth. My first 4 tattoos were all inspired by the AFI albums Shut Your Mouth/Black Sails/The Art of Dowling/Sing the Sorrow.

Songs from the Earth was such an underrated album. Davey and AFI were such a huge part of my teenage years, I'll always hear Sing the Sorrow or something like Songs from the Earth (Son of Sam) and hear Davey's soaring voice in my head!

“Now that A Fire Inside is Lit ” I just know you were excited for that pun opportunity hahaah 😂🔥

It’s so sad to hear that Dreamcar didn’t do well enough to ensure a second record, it’s probably my favorite version of Davey’s vocals, so joyful, so uplifting, so so much fun, I’ll take the 50% chances of them releasing new music.

I would love more Dreamcar too. Even if it can't exist furthermore under full LPs and it's the occasional song or EP. Granted music is something that everyone has a different opinion on, but I prefer Dreamcar to AFI's discography following Crash Love, and near the entirety of Blaqk Audio - which debatably exists now as a passion project than a commercially vial outlet.

You should have printed out an avocado 🥑 and taped it over Tuna

AFI played “Self Pity” at the Salt Lake show for the Bodies tour. He dedicated the song to Stormy. Listing to him talk about their history makes it so much better

Rewatching this interview after the epic 20 Years of Sorrow show at the Kia Forum in L.A. this past Saturday. I adore you, Davey Havok! 🖤

my parents raised me on afi. i remember being 4 years old and decemberunderground had just came out, and i forced them to play the cd everytime we were in the car. still love afi so much. EDIT: almost a year later and i still adore afi with everything i have. i tried so hard to get tickets to the 20th anniversary. was gonna go to the other side of the country for them. ticket master sucks tho :(

Everything about this interview is adorable. I love how excited they both are to be hanging out. It's infectious 😁

Out of all the bands I have followed and all the front men or women I have admired, Davey is my all-time favorite. So genuine, unassuming, kind, friendly and a pleasure to watch and listen to. Not forgetting to mention, a talented creative genius.

I just saw afi in Chicago at the Riviera on Nov 15th. The show was outstanding and Davey the ultimate singer and showman. The energy in that theatre was off the charts! AFI delivered.

My face literally hurts from smiling so huge for the entire interview! Wonderful! Davey is *chef’s kiss* as close to perfection as a human could be in my eyes. Excellent interview. More like friend’s chatting. Just delightful!

Amazing interview with an amazing subject. Fucking wild to hear him say the name "Son of Sam" in 2021.

Davey and Stryker chatting and chilling out is just so delightful. I could listen to them all day. Davey fascinates me and I adore him - he is so talented as a multi-faceted artist and vegan spokesperson 🔥💜🖤

AFI my favorite band of all time. Davey comes across like such a genuine and nice gentleman. Their lyrics have meant a lot to me. Definitely underrated as a band. The Son of Sam album he sang on was awesome. The song Michale 🔥. I hope they continue to make music for many more years to come as AFI or Blaqk Audio.

Such a good interview. All of your interviews feel so organic. It’s refreshing, and feels more like old friends catching up. Davey is such a humble guy, would love to see him on the street and just give him a high five.

I used to be like that as a teen and my early 20’s especially in my teens when I found out Clive Barker wrote more than just visceral horror. It hated change, but as I’ve gotten older I find change more interesting especially with Davey having done different musical styles and his influences and such. Doing the same thing to me is so boring and stagnant. But yeah AFI never ceases to amaze me with each album having a different flavor.

I ran into Davey back around October at a show in Los Angeles and chatted with him for a good ten minutes or so. He's such a sweetheart. I asked him about Son of Sam and if there would be any possibility working with at least Steve Zing and London May again, to which he said that he wouldn't feel comfortable pursuing again since Todd Youth was the main songwriter for that project. He then went on to tell me that the artwork for the album was supposed to be completely different from the gal that we got..I think he mentioned it was supposed to be a man with goat legs? Pretty much an evil Faun. Either way, as another user mentioned, it's so awesome to hear him talk of that project nearly 21 years later. Perhaps the first time he's mentioned it on video? I could be wrong.

I could listen to him talk forever. What a fantastic interview and thank you for asking about Dreamcar! I loved that era soo much and hoping they make a comeback sooner rather than later. Thank you for this ☺️❤️

Great interview!!! Davey is just the best, such an articulate kind soul. As a 20 year AFI fan and Bay Area local, this was so fun to watch!

what a delight of a chat! all those stories and the love they're shared with sure took me to them despite the fact I was just a kid by then

He’s so sweet “oh no, don’t do it, I’m not worth $475” 😭💕

I met Davey back in 2000 in Louisville, KY. AFI slayed! Also the art of drowning is still in my opinion the greatest punk rock album of all time. Davey is to punk/post punk what the misfits were. Underrated but True artist! AFI forever! Got nothing but love! 🦇🦇🦇🦇 Rob

If I have to spend my life on a deserted island and can only take ONE album, it will be an AFI(hard to choose), but definitely AFI. Thanks for the most KILLA songs, no one out there has come close to topping the quality. Fave tunes: end transmission, beautiful thieves, girl’s gone grey, this time imperfect, bleed black, medicate, … i could go all day. Your music is food for the soul🙏

Somehow just now watching this but, Merry Christmas to meeee 💚💚💚 thank you for this. Always an invigorating experience to hear Davey speak on himself and his escapades uninterrupted for over an hour straight 🥰✨

30 years of AFI! That's amazing. LOVE this so much

Great interview Stryker! Thanks for doing this Davey. Even more of a fan after watching this. Been listening to AFI since the late 90's.

Davey H. Man. So glad homeboys still out here making tunes. Been a fan since they first broke. He's always been such a good role model- I hope he knows he's responsible for alot of great people's choice to be kind and googhesrtex while still handling there business

The most fun and interesting sit down I've seen yet with Davey. Ty

Afi is my favorite band ever. I have 4 tattoos inspired by them. I love all their albums for different reasons. Been a fan since I was 15 in 2001 and not one day goes by that I don't listen to at least one song.

This was such a good interview. This made my Monday, honestly.

THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR TALKING ABOUT SON OF SAM! I know I'm a little late to the party here, but that album was a riot when I was a kid.

Thank you for sharing this interview Mr. Stryker!

It's so cool hearing about the long history of AFI from Davey himself and he's such an eloquent personable guy. I just got done watching the '96 Fireside Bowl Chicago live show on BlankTV channel as well

I remember seeing AFI on home turf as a kid between that and a kid playing greenday at scout camp got me into punk rock. Growing up in Fort Bragg Ukiah seemed big.

I'll never forget, and I'll forever love the AFI/MTV concert for Sing the Sorrow. 🖤🖤🖤

Met Davey at 924 Gilman St. I used to hang out there all the time. Awe, the good ole days! Never forget the time at Bottom of the Hill when AFI played as The Boys Who Destroyed the World. Such a fun small show. Now we’re all about or in our 40’s! 😜

I think Davey is one of the most eloquent and interesting people of all time. 🖤 my best gal and I saw Dreamcar in AZ in the very beginning and it was packed and so much fun. I got to see them again at a festival and it was just such a experience.

Thank you so much for this interview!

Woah, the throwback part to Son Of Sam & some of the bands mentioned was awesome.

I got into AFI during 8th grade in '96/'97. Been a fan ever since.

Forgot Davey grew up in Rochester. I was just at the House of Guitars he mentioned

Son of Sam mentioned! Such an underrated album, especially if you're a Samhain/MIsfits fan. It was the closest we'd ever get to an AFI/Danzig universe collision.
