I am an opiate addict (pain pills, heroin, ect) that has been in treatment for over a year, and been clean just over a year. AFI's straight-edge mentality and seeing my life go to shit, gave me the strength to find help.

“your father passed away when you were 3” WHAT A GREAT WAY TO START AN INTERVIEW.

He is in my opinion a respectable, intelligent individual, plus he is one of the best singers that has ever been in my opinion. he is the man.

AFI's cover of Halloween is perfect but I had no idea he was asked to join the Misfits. How crazy.

He's so sedated in interviews, but a beast on the stage. This guy was born to perform. Keep going AFI!

His opposition to self-destructive or recreational drug abuse was a huge inspiration to my life growing up in the punk scene. I wouldn't be an engineer or a UCLA graduate if it weren't for Davey Havok.

He is so well spoken.

Mad respect to this guy. He knows what he believes in and he’s not going to apologise for it. Probably one of the best singers I’ve ever seen live.

Davey didn’t need to share those Memories of his father. So sweet that he did. He’s my hero

It's been said before a thousand times, but I'll say it again: Davey Havok is an impeccably gorgeous man.

I actually like how kind of awkward the host is. makes it feel more real and intimate instead of just some hype/promo/gossipy bullshit. keep it up, G!!

He could have been a terrific good Psychologist.he seems so peaceful,quiet,calm and very observant and he seems a really smart kind of person. He's so cute

As much as I disagree with Davey sometimes I owe my life to him. When I was around 20 I really had some bad suicidal thoughts all the time... One night I was drinking at a friends apartment and her neighbors, two teenage punk kids, came over with Sing the Sorrow. It was the day it came out. Me and those two dudes listened to that album all night... and I saw the beauty in tragedy. It was the most amazing thing I had ever heard and i realized life was worth living... or at least trying... I'm an uncle now and I got engaged 2 weeks ago... and life is pretty rad. I'm grateful that AFI opened my eyes.... AFI and especially Davey Havok saved my life.

He's so cool and charming. Love his voice and physical attitude. You can tell he's having a chill fun.

i don't think i'm watching the same video as other people, because he seemed really chill and nice so i don't know why all these people are hating on him

I love this man. He gets better and better as time goes on. He just amazes me with his talent and versatility and creativity. I loved hearing that he does have some memories of his father even though he lost him at such a young age. Im glad he has those memories to hold onto and cherish.

"You owned something that does not exist?" - EPIC questioning dude.....

I worked at a gym in berzerkeley and he was always super cool and easy to talk to. His early punk is sick. He also did some stuff on a nerve agents CD and was always happy to help local bands. Most people that have this much fame as assholes.

I seriously wanna sit and talk with davey. Hes such an interesting individual

I worked at and the managed a venue in Charlotte NC that AFI played at in 2002. Davey is one of the friendliest and sweetest "Rock stars" I've ever met. We played teken 2 arcade game for about and hour and I destroyed him over and over, but he kept pumping in quarter. Lol. That's a fun memory

Davey's style of dress around 2000 was very gothic-oriented. He wore black gothic band t-shirts, black jeans/pants. He went from a Misfits Devilock to long hair by 2003. He actually said in an interview that the only way he would have joined the Misfits then was if Glenn Danzig called him up and told him it was okay. I miss Davey's image from this time period, as it appealed to me on an artistic level. I also miss the gothic-themed lyrics combined with a unique hardcore punk sound that afireinside had evolved into. I was hoping that they would keep building on that style, but they deviated into a more mainstream sound. They still make great music, though. To me Sing the Sorrow is the culmination of their (although they hate to admit it) gothic/hardcore phase. They complain that it isn't a genre, and it isn't because few bands can pull off that sound. It's just a description of their music/image at the time. And they did it beautifully! Sing the Sorrow is their true masterpiece. Black Sails in the Sunset and The Art of Drowning are equally as powerful, but not as epic. I don't mean to disrespect Davey or AFI, I think they are one of the most authentic bands around. Burials has it's moments, but it lacks the intensity of their middle period. Davey's lyrics have always fascinated me, but they seem too straightforward in a way, now. I guess growth is not always how we imagine it will be. I still hope they keep making music, and you never know, they may rekindle old fires...

Maybe he’s a little pushy about the veganism thing but at the end of the day it’s hard to hate the guy who’s been clean and healthy his entire life, he’s one of the most energetic frontmen I’ve ever seen and he’s in his 40s, the reason why he’s still so good is cuz he’s so healthy. Good job for him

Davey Havok seems to be really down to earth and kind as he is handsome. This is so nice to see.

A very underrated singer.. glad to see he's down to earth.. I hope the rest of the original members are still with him... I've gotten a lot of shit from my peers because of afi. But every time I'd crank up their albums my friends would always ask who's that,they're good!!" Haha

I respect the hell out of this guy for following his own personal feelings and sticking to his personal beliefs. I'm not a huge AFI fan, but I enjoy a few of their songs, and definitely respect Davey Havok more after watching this.

Interesting... I interviewed Dave, Adam and Geoff in the spring/summer of 1995 (I think) when AFI came through Chicago and played Fireside Bowl. At that time, Dave dressed more as a SoCal skate punk-type, with the over-sized JNCO-styled jeans and XL t-shirt for a guy who should be wearing a medium. That was very common for that era. I haven't thought about these guys since Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes came out. Neat to see the progression both as a band and individually.

I love his work in Schitt's Creek

I took my daughter to see AFI in Orlando for her very first concert ever. Great memory for me to see her enjoy herself so much. It was definitely one of the highlights of her life. Mine as well.

used to be lucky enough to see them in petaluma at the phoenix. this dude is really humble and cool and super talented

Loosing a parent at any age is heart wrenching. In other words, it freakin' sucks. I sympathize deeply with anyone who has lost their parents. Numerous questions are left unanswered. Plus all the hugs and snuggles only remain in distant memories, but forever locked in your heart.☮️

AFI has been my favorite band since I found their music around 2000, when I was 13 years old. I was beyond blessed to finally see them in concert in 2014, opening for TSTM and Linkin Park (all 3 bands put on an absolutely INCREDIBLE show!!) AFI only did like 5-6 songs and I bawled my eyes out through every one as I was singing along. 😂 One of my best memories in life.

Davey used his intelligence and common sense and did not finish, following the lifestyle that the vast majority follow of drug abuse and promiscuity. It is to be admired, considering that he lives in a society where the common thing is to destroy himself and not respect himself. Davey Havok is a determined man and his way of thinking makes him more attractive than he already is.

First time I see Davey talking about personal stuff like his name or his father

Did he age backwards? He doesn't even look like the same person to me. His hair cut completely changed his whole look. Very good.

davey havok talks like he works for grey poupon

This is my first time watching any AFI interview and Davey’s speaking voice sounds so much different than I thought it would for some reason.

Seems like a genuinely nice guy.

He is so genuine. I can’t get enough...

OMG, Davey's voice makes me so happy. I just adore him.

Davey has a calming energy about him...

His hair is always looking good.

Good interview, some of my best memories involve AFI's music.

Omg! I was so in love with this man when I was 12 years old, and now I'm 25 and still wanna marry him! 🤣

Dude comes off as super intelligent

He also apparently hated everything about college. I used to be a part of the AFI fanclub, which meant that I had access to a forum where the band members could get on and answer questions from fans. I asked him what he disliked the most about college (while stating that I hated the goddamn 7:30 am classes I had) and his answer was short, sweet, and to the point: "Everything."

I remember back in dial-up days hanging out in the skateboarding chatroom where people were sXe and proud. It was a cool place for all kinds of people to chill. Sometimes I miss those deviants (including the sXe kids; they were a blast).

wow, he looks really good.

Dude looks like a young Robert Deniro

THROUGH OUR BLEEDING WE ARE ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Davey has been a role model for me since I was a kid. I'm still trying to live up to this man's greatness.

The way he talks... omg, he's so calmed

I've always been fascinated with Davey, I kinda grew up with him, when I was 18 I discovered AFI promoting straight edge and vegetarian/vegan lifestyle and I said "this is me". Then I got a tattoo of them in my lower back when I was 19. I'm 31 now :)

The interviewer is probably nervous because Davey havok is making him question his sexuality.

Thank you thank you thank you for this great interview. Well conducted and informative. xXx

Thanks Jimmy for helping out. Davey is a very strong person,this is a new phase we didn't know about him

I miss Davey and all my Ukiah musician buddies from the 90's.

SHould have mentioned that Nick 13 also shares that same tattoo

Great interview!

amazing piece for a amazing band.

Davey’s such a chill dude

He's so humble. I dont know if anyone caught what he meant. Or what I think he meant when asked about the article about him. He said their are mirrors which distract him more than sentences about himself. I think he's implying. I know who I am I dont need strangers to tell me.

This era of afi feels like it was yesterday. I’ve been a fan for 20 years.

This just makes me love him even more.

Did anyone come to actually watch this video and not bash Davey??? Yes, he's vegan and he's proud of it! It doesn't make him him pretentious or arrogant to stand up for what he believes in!!! People who have met Davey Havok have said he's a very nice man that will talk to you like you're close friends just from meeting you at a AFI show. The people who come here just to make fun of Davey are the real assholes!

Holy vocal fry Davey.

still love him in 2017!!!

.i know this is KZfaq but I'm actually shocked by all the hate in the comments

Goddamn! I never ever realized how fucking gorgeous Davey Havok is! It's the Silver and Cold video that I have held in my mind of how he looked. Not that he wasn't pretty then; he's just so fucking gorgeous seeing him here.

I remember them always at the Phoenix Theater. An entire lifetime ago!

Love Davey and how well spoken his. Such a stand up guy

I wish I had good memories of my father

I remember the first time I saw the Girls Not Gray video I couldn't figure out if he was male or female.

Nothing but love for Davey!

Great questions from the interviewer.

3:04 eyy he’s talking about the “tri” at the highschool. I played my first live show there

Hes so sweet and quiet

Very talented, well spoken and likeable.

Q: How do you know someone is a vegan? A: Don't worry, they'll tell you whether you ask or not. I kid though. Such a great artist, performer, and band.

holy crap, Davey Havok is turning into Morrissey

Dude is looking mad healthy.

Woah, its been years since ive bothered looking up AFI.. He looks so much better now than he did when i was a teenager.

Thanks loudwire for this underground interview! Soon you will be interviewing me! lol -AP

His voice... Is so soft:3 I love it:) it makes you pay closer attention

That moment when you'd never actually heard Davey talk before this video and you'd only heard his singing voice, and you get like drastically surprised by how his voice sounds.

Rochester love! We love you!

Damn had to put my volume all the way up.

the cat jumping through the number 9 was also Part of the EverReady brand Logo, they made Batteries, Radios, i think at some point as well they made Tubes and Televisions as well

Davey is an amazing gift to us all... and oh so beautiful... I can’t handle it haha 😂

Cool interview

God bless you , mr. Havock. Merry Christmas. Rock on . From skater and guitarist sheldrick Holmes of Decatur , georgia .

That's a smart outfit. I like the suspenders.

Even though AFI turned into kind of a goth band, their early shit was incredible. Totalimmortal is a horror punk classic. I’d have loved to see him fronting the misfits.

Not a fan of his latest work but I really admire and respect him.

HOLY SHIT HIS DAVEY'S JAW IS MY GOALS TO LIVE.

what is up with the audio on all these vids? some are super loud but most are really low volumes

that dude that tattooed him Eric Hogan who Davey said, RIP to was a Hells Angle from Sacramento California that got his head shot off by a shotgun in front of his house one night. rumor has it that he was sleeping with other members wife's or some ridiculous shit.

Oh man RIP Vic and Irv’s. That was a staple in Rochester.

Thanks for having the audio be so low.

Im actually curious as to why the government asked to pull down a website domain like that.

I think if I was the interviewer I would have said, Holy shit you're fucking Davey Havok of AFI. I'm sure I would have been a fan girl, just lookng at Davey Havok. ugh I love AFI
