AFI fireside bowl - Chicago 1996/97ish - He Who Laughs Last/ Brownie Bottom Sundae 

Although this (and arguably early AFI) wasn't hardcore? At least to me. Sounds too melodic, which is not a bad thing, but I always saw their early stuff as more of a "hardcore influenced" punk sound..

tacoornot1 (was).

Stu Pidazzo Shut Your Mouth and Black Sails were hardcore by far. The early records were more Germs and Minor Threat influenced in my opinion.

A? I Think you mean THE hardcore band

Boognish goth punk isn’t a thing and I’m failing to see any grindcore in Black Sails

I’m trying to understand

🤣🤣🤣

Agreed

time stopped at 2000?

​@@thatjakeythere time Flys fast. Dude still thinks its the year 2062.

Dog ya wth maybe Adam "arson" Carson's a vampire like seriously he looks the same how is that even possible I was 7 when this came vid was made

holy cow that's so crazy! you're so right!

Totally agree, I grew up in the burbs and made so many memories at fireside and the metro back in the day when punk shows were like 10-15 dollars. Now I'm having a little girl and thinking its such a bummer that places like that wont exist for her to enjoy. I learned many a life lesson at punk shows growing up.

any other cool stories from that era?

I would love to go to a concert at a venue like that

i moved out of chicago in like 1998 and moved back in 2003. first album i bought* after moving back was 'sing the sorrow'. they were welcoming me home 😭 *in the literal sense, too. it was also the first album i'd bought in my life. i was 12.

2021! classic

I love everything AFI does too. So happy for them because guess what? We grew up too.

@@shaneleroy3529 exactly. straight facts. i dont ever expect an artist to just keep making the same stuff over and over again. as an artist myself, i get tired of doing that lol. It's all about growth

jeez.. you were ahead of the game. I started listening to punk/hardcore in '93, but i was 18 or 19 years old.

@@brockman562 It never matters when you started...it only matters THAT you started! This music scene was lifechanging in many positive ways. So good for us all that we were once (and maybe still are) a part of the underground hardcore and punk scenes.

Тебе повезло бро🎉🎉🎉

thanks!

No... You're amazing...

SIMP

you're welcome!

Thank fuck. Thought my laptop speaker was blown!

I must have mine in the wrong ears. It’s my right bud cutting out.

@@Fortyjustice You are not wrong, the sound is in the right channel only. Must be some odd mono setup on the camera or the VHS they recorded it over later on, they probably didn't had both outputs so they just captured it on the right side. I remember once I recorded on VHS a conversation and didn't had a way to mix in background music so I recorded the conversation on the right input while the music was on the left input on a mono tv or regular tv it was just fine but on a speaker stereo setup it sounded a bit weird and completely confusing on earphones. Never again I did such silly thing and invested into a proper mixing setup

@@weirdsailorman4070 nice

That's so rad. I just commented I saw 88 FL there.

And kung fu kicks!!!

Davey Havoc during his Ray Cappo /Youth crew days wish I could've seen them then, the first time I saw them it was like '01 100°F in NJ and he was in his Edward Scissor Hands stage.. He's a very committed frontman, one of the best.

@LOSER TRUMP I had a similar experience with Nick 13 😂 I think they are "good" friends Davey is a pretty built guy surprisingly when I met him, look up the video of him going off about a biker wrecking his new white pants it's hysterical. Search 🔍- Davey Havoc white pants fight

@LOSER TRUMP yeah I had the same experience or similar, I saw him when he was doing the warped tour in New Jersey it was like 100° out and he was dressed and all black like Edward scissorhands, I couldn't help but keep saying/ enchanting "I want to suck your blood" 😂😂😂 I was 15 LoL

@LOSER TRUMP they met peeking on the other side of the glory hole at some vampire bar.

Fucking right bud. Everything before Sing the Sorrow

Or devolved, lol....

You're welcome!

look up apocalypse hoboken. todd set the fireside stage on fire. while performing on it lol dont think youll find footago of that incident but you can find them playing there.

That is awesome. I came around to their music around after Black Sails and before Art of Drowning. Have been my favorite since.

A Fire inside at the fireside?

❤🧔‍♀😩

you're welcome!

SYM: That's THE album!

@@aplus1080 yeah thats my favorite one too.

ha thanks!

No he’s not

you're welcome!

haha i was at '99 too i think lead guitarist during the time, i think mark at this point, jumped and cracked his head wide-open? or was that '97...? or 98? i dunno they played a few times there. i feel like it was Mark, but it would have been jade by 99 i think... so i dunno. he jumped, hit a low beam, and bled pretty bad if i remember. he sure didn't seem to be expecting it! good ole days. loved them back then live.

And Hunter Burgan. This was Geoff Kresge and Marc Blackwelder (Stopholese) 💯🔥

VideInfra this is when I found out music was great

Davie Havoc stole Henry Rollins on stage persona. But this is some good shit anyway.

thank you!

Tom Longo sure ya did

I posted all I got!
