yeah, i've seen this posted before.
i've been hearing the song online and on the radio for about two months as well.
but maybe this is the "official" statment where you can get it in a good format and
sound quality, crap like that.

i think both the original and the cover are quite good. it's great that AFI did it so good. And I'm sure you've all heard it in GTA San Andreas.

true, very true.
AFI has done some intersting covers over the years, one of the first ones I heard was their cover of the Misfits' "Halloween."
Brings back godd times! : )

Its ok, but seriously, not worth going all ape sh** about. Its much worse than the original, but thats expected. After reading some of the comments i didnt know what to expect, and its not nearly as bad as i expected. Its not even comparable to korn's cover of floyd. Now that is a terrible cover.

AFI isn't an emo band, and even if they were, they wouldn't be the MOST emo band, that title belongs to Dashboard Confessional.

obviously most of you are not loyal AFI fans. I heard this cover, and while it did not compare to their cover of Danzig's "Halloween", it was pretty good. Taking into consideration what AFI's music has now become (as opposed to their early stuff- Rizzo in the Box, etc.), of course this was going to be more of a ballad than Trent's version! Poor uneducated heathens!!!

Their highly skilled musicians and they put on a high energy performance. They arent my cup of tea but to say they outright suck is pretty much making yourself a poor a$$ critic. NIN has a pinch more respect and i like them better personally. I would be thrilled to have even a 10th of any of their musical skill to be honest...
