We are AFI, an American rock band from Northern California... AMA

Do I look like a fucking squirrel to you?

no, i wish you did

Hey Hunter, whatever happened with that project you and Tegan were working on together? Also how'd you get together with Tegan and Sara?

the project is on hold until our schedules sync up

Have you guys ever thought about making a graphic novel or a short film based off of your album(s)?

no, but that would be interesting...

Who inspired you guys the most when you were starting out as a band?

angry samoans, black flag, minor threat, RKL

Question for Jade: do you have any advice for me, someone who just picked up guitar?

don't ever put it down

WHY DO YOU HATE INDIANAPOLIS????

Also, the new album is great!

where were you in 2009?

Adam seems like a total bad ass, can you confirm this?

adam seems like a total abraham lincoln

First of all, your music has helped me so much in my life. Thank you. (my sons middle name is Havok!)

Anyway, this is more for davey and jade. Are you guys planning on doing anything more with Blaqk Audio?

yes we will be releasing a 3rd record once the afi burials cycle is complete

Really stoked you guys are doing this! Question: What was your favorite tour you guys have done?

sick of it all, indescision, hot water music in '99

Do you still get fan mail (posted or hand-delivered) often? If so, do you enjoy reading it?

the only fan mail that we receive is the fan mail that's handed to us during shows, and it's always a pleasure to read

Hi AFI, it's great to have you back with us fans. Congrats on the new album! My question has to do with the way CD's are sold now. No more plastic cases or large booklets. I picked up your CD today in a cardboard case. Kind of took away from the physical presence of the CD a bit. What are your thoughts on the new way CDs are sold? Would you change yours if you could?

less plastic is more environmentally friendly

Also, specifically for Adam: you are one of my absolute favorite drummers (and musicians overall), and my dad is completely convinced that you look just like Abraham Lincoln. Have you ever gotten this before?

no i've gotten perry farrell and paul ryan

Do any of you intend for Burials to be the last AFI album or are do you plan on going for as long as you can? I'm blown away by it and want to hear so much more.

crash love was our last album, burials is our new album

After listening to your new album, I realised that it was more epic than the Pacific Rim soundtrack and will be using it to soundtrack my punching of giant monsters with giant robots.

Having said that, which do you prefer, giant monsters or giant robots?

giant monsters for sure. giant robots are clunky and mundane.

Hey guys! Just a couple quick questions. Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity to pick your brains a little.

1. Do you ever plan to release The Weight of Words? I've been waiting for that song for 10 years!

2. What exactly are you guys chanting at the the end of "Wester"?

3. Davey, at Riot Fest, you began to tell a story about donuts or cereal or something, while you were dealing with technical difficulties. Care to finish the story?

1. one world away, we were just one world away, in silent rapture, let us stay, one world away

that's a wrap. thanks for your questions, everyone!

THIS is the new album cover for your release. Wondering if the eclipse represents anything?

a burial

AFI: what is your favorite snack (seeing as you guys are vegan/vegetarian)

Davey: What makes you limit lyrics to virtually no curse words (i think it's awesome)

Keep up the great work, guys! See you Friday!!!

jade: hershey's rsvp candy bars davey: raw, unsweetened granola hunter: zots adam: coffee

Thank you guys for taking the time to do this and all of the music throughout the years. Been a fan for many years now, can’t wait to see you guys in Santa Cruz next week. I have a couple of questions. 1. What is each of your favorite and least favorite song to play? 2. How do you determine your set list for each show? 3. What do you guys like to do for fun while on tour?

see the sites, play music, eat local cuisine...

Thanks for being a band. And thanks for still being guys who go to hardcore shows and support the scene.

My question is: Which is worse: Peanut Butter in your Jelly or Jelly in your Peanut Butter?

goober grape
