故事的开始并没有什么传奇性或者惊人之处,那是20世纪90年代初期(1991)美国加利福利亚州Ukiah的四个高中小子戴维·哈瓦克(Davey Havok)、亚当·卡森(Adam Carson)、维克(Vick)和马卡斯·史托夫里斯(Markus Stopholese)在他们家乡小镇上为了打发课余那些无聊的时光而在车库里弄出些噪音来的结果,标准也是够噪够狠就行。那时候他们的效仿对象就是诸如“黑旗” (Black Flag)、“一群死雷子”(Sick Of It All)等硬核朋克乐队,而且给自己起了个非常标准的名字: A Fire Inside,然后乐队就取了三个词的词头来表示队名,即AFI。A Fire Inside,内部火焰,他们就是把他们最初的“内部火焰”燃烧到了他们的乐队中去,压根也没想过什么成名成星,或许连他们自己也没有想到的是,这恰恰是燎原星火的第一点火星。

哥儿几个也照样分了工,主唱是哈瓦克、吉他手是史托夫里斯、贝斯手是维克,鼓手则落在了亚当·卡森身上。然后乐队的历程就和大多数朋克乐队差不多,技术平平但也搞了几场小演出,在小镇上也算有点小名气。不久,维克被吉奥夫·克莱斯格(Geoff Kresge)顶替。本来平时的课余时间就不少,哥儿几个死磕了差不多一年时间,也算是练出点技术,歌也有了那么几首像点样子的(当然现在听来是十分不成熟的),就和当时的同乡乐队“脆弱变化” (Loose Change)一起发行了一张名为《落后于时代》(Behind the Times)的7寸EP唱片。

青春总是过得飞快,随着他们高中毕业升入不同的大学,克莱斯格也暂时搬到了新泽西并参加了当地的“77颗空弹”(Blanks 77)乐队, AFI似乎也和中国的大多数高中生乐队一样“寿终正寝”了。然而要真是那样的话今天还怎么看得到AFI?上大学头一年的暑假时,乐队做了一个在他们历史上的“标志性演出”:他们也正儿八经地搞了个重组演出,然而出乎意料的是,引起的反应非常热烈积极。这让他们看到了希望,于是乐队成员决定“弃学从艺”,正式退学做专职乐队。说来已经是1995年左右了,乐队从一帮懵懂的学生乐队已经正式进入到专职乐队(当然专业性还是差点)的行列,车库里的时光也没有白白打发,他们就是从那里面死磕出技术和特点来的。他们广泛地吸收学习了前辈们如“错配”(The Misfits)、“但泽”(Danzig)甚至如“仁慈姐妹”(Sister of Mercy)和“小瘦狗”(Skinny Puppy)等的元素,糅合起来形成他们自己的特点。乐队当然也没闲着,出单曲是个不错的扩大知名度的方法,在和“后裔”(The Offspring)乐队主唱德克斯特·郝伦(Dexter Holland)创办的厂牌“硝基” (Nitro)签约前,他们已经发行了数首单曲。在此前,乐队也并没有“原地踏步”,而是走上了和当年“黑旗”一样的道路,自1995年就开始全美巡演,无数次穿越北美大陆,包括美国和加拿大。这后来甚至成为乐队的一项传统,除了欧洲,在1998年的时候还自费去了趟日本。“巡演对我们来说一直就是最重要的事,”鼓手亚当·卡森说道,“我们正是通过不断的巡演来获得我们的歌迷的”。“我从19岁开始就巡演了,”主唱哈瓦克对此说道,“我们总有这样的想法:如果我们在某个地方首次演出只有两个人看,那么我们会再次回到那个地方,直到来看我们的歌迷增加到10个,30个,然后上百、上千。我们会坚持回到那个地方演出直到人们不得不注意我们”。有这样的坚韧态度,更多乐迷群体的认可也是指日可待的了。

    "I'd much rather attend an AFI show packed exclusively with Decemberunderground-loving teenage girls than one with profoundly illogical, sexist tough guys." I'm too old for those types of girls. I'd be arrested. I'd rather go to a gig of girls who liked StS or previous. But seriously, I fucking hate the direction they went. But, I still can't help but have respect them for trying. And StS is one of my favourite albums ever, so I wished they carried that on, to greater effect.

    Don't get me wrong, I like the Black Sails/All Hallows/Art of Drowning era that everyone seems to fawn over as much as the next fan. But The Last Kiss and At a Glance have the same intro. As do Who Knew and The Boy Who Destroyed the World. The Nephilim and Dream of Waking sound so similar in certain areas that I think they may have initially been the same song. Keeping Out of Direct Sunlight and Strength Through Wounding open their respective albums expressing what is more or less the exact same sentiment. That does not happen anymore and frankly, I think they've gotten much better in all aspects. Which isn't to say I don't adore their whole discography, because I do. But Sing the Sorrow and Decemberunderground are my favorites by a large margin.

    I like their new songs, but as albums (past StS) I don't think they hold up very well because I think there's too much filler material. It's one of those situations where you wish they made those songs as b-sides. Fainting Spells should have made DU and Too Late For Gods has such a familiar vibe to it that it's a crime that it didn't make it to CL.

    The first two albums bore me. Everything from Shut Your Mouth to Crash Love is an awesome listen though. Clove Smoke Catharsis, Bleed Black, and Kiss and Control are probably my favorite songs. They were also my first-ever concert in 2004, and all 15-20 shows I've been to since have failed to compare. Just such a massive feel to that show. Older songs like Cruise Control, newer ones (at the time) like Miseria and Silver and Cold, the crowd sang every word. Small venue vibe in a pretty big venue. What an unforgettable night.
