AFI Guitarist, Jade Puget, playing through The Boy Who Destroyed The World from the All Hallows EP I don’t own any copyrights bla bla all rights go to AFI etc
@@MIKERUPTION yeah, I think black sails in the sunset is my absolute favorite AFI album. Perfect marriage of punk rock and great melodies. Dave's havok was one of the best lyricists too. That album is literally perfect! Art of drowning pretty close 2nd for me. But I love all those albums up through sing the sorrow. After that they lost something sadly...
@@rychier6994 I agree with you. AOD is my favorite. STS was the last AFI album that I enjoyed. I do like a few of the Crash Love extra songs and a song or two on Burials. I haven't even bothered with anything newer.
@@MIKERUPTION yeah the newest stuff they just released i listened to once and hated it. Decemberunderground was the last album I liked from them but to a much lesser extent than the albums before. They usually do have a few decent songs on each album but they're just too slow and soft now imo....
I mainly play black and thrash metal styling and Jades compositions, play style, use of melody with aggression and intricate work has been such a deep influence on my own playing, especially the late 90’s - early 00’s compositions. People may not realize it, but his influence is felt by far more than just a few in the extreme metal community. The man is a true craftsman.
This comment here! I have been a huge AFI fan since this EP came out in 1999, and my brother borrowed it and their back catalogue from a classmate who loved them. My brother was a guitarist and learned how to play this and a few others off Black Sails and Art Of Drowning. Seeing Jade's use of barre chord variants and using sometimes all 6 strings for a chord just gave AFI's 1999-00 records a beautiful, haunting, complex, rich, atmospheric, ambient quality that was just so perfect for the songs. Jade's work since then is far more refined, elegant, and tasteful than the older stuff, but he still showcases his talents in numerous ways on the guitar. Pink Eyes is one off the Blood Album I really dig his work on, kind of a nod to his hardcore roots in late-90s AFI and before.
Heck yea, I've always loved AFI and Jade is a huge reason why. I remember when he first joined the band, I was pretty nervous actually because I really loved what Mark was doing with the band but Jade just made band so much more complete and helped make AFI stick out from a lot of their contemporaries by doing so much more than power chord riffs. He can solo, his rhythms are spot on and inventive, even his chord voicings a great.
I remember when I first started learning guitar. Maybe a year or two in I felt confident enough to get away from super basic things so I got tabs for a bunch of AFI songs from Sing the Sorrow because they sounded relatively simple. Man, let me tell you AFI songs are not easy...like at all. Even 12 years of guitar later I still think a lot of their songs are hard as shit to play.
You might need to practice more, not even a diss. I've been playin since '04 and I'm just barely learning how to correctly play a lot of punk tunes I grew up with. Practice everyday man, you got these songs. NO PROBLEM.
Them barre chords had my hand HURTING when I was learning AFI lmao I always respected Jade for his technique and ability to mimic both leads and rhythm live; not easy at all to learn but very good at practicing and building stamina
Sometimes it’s not about how much you practice - playing this kind of stuff is hard and sometimes need the proper guidance. Other guitars players or maybe take a couple of lessons. Bad habits can really inhibit your ability to strum/pick quickly.
Ive always loved how he plays power chords when they go from the 2nd to 5th string and the middle finger stays on the 6th to mute it. This dude is an influential guitarist in the right circles
I love his extensions. Very raw and grit. Wish I could pull that off. No wonder hearing this song on track sounded difficult. It’s like playing halos library on legendary. The flood man! They just come at you in so many ways
right hand technique is perfect. A lot of people who try to make guitar covers of punk music don't know what they're doing there and/or don't think it matters, which is bullshit
Saw AFI live in a small venue, I have been to many shows and I still remember Jade stepping up onto the amp and Davey just started shushing the crowd and pointing at Jade, then jade just started riffing like a maniac. We were just in awe, he switched effects pedals 20 times in one riff and it sounded perfect. Unreal. 🎉
Awesome dude. Just in the process of figuring this out as I have only recently stumbled across it recently. That ending with harmonics in the riff is 💥
YOU SHOULD CHECK 1Muzition1 acoustical covers of your songs.. Look beyond and see the light. See what he has done with your songs. You guys inspired him greatly. Peace. These songs were done 13 years ago. He has a lot of written music your band would like for sure.
