AFI

AFI (abbreviation for A Fire Inside) was formed in 1991 when Davey Havok (lead vocals), Markus Stopholese (lead guitar), Vick (bass), and Adam Carson (drums) were attending high school in California. Vick was later replaced by Geoff Kresge before they all split up to go to college. During a holiday break, the band got together again to do a small reunion show but the crowd liked it so much that they all decided to quit school and follow music as a career. They then worked their way up to where they are now. With already twelve albums out, AFI has become arguably the best pop/punk band in America in decades. Check out the video of Miss Murder at the bottom and tell me what you think.

Guns N' Roses

There is no one word to describe Guns N' Roses. They are one of the best rock bands in history. They have been around since 1985 and are just as popular now, if not more popular than they were then. The closest word to describe them is probably 'timeless.' I put a video of them in concert singing Sweet Child O' Mine at the bottom of the page so check it out and tell me how much you love them.

Rise Against

Rise Against is a rock/punk band started in 1999 when 88 Fingers Louie bassist Joe Principe talked to vocalist Tim McIlrath about starting a hardcore band. And so started the amazing punk band, Rise Against. They have dozens of amazing songs but my personal favorite is Prayer of the Refugee. Watch the video at the bottom and tell me what you think.

As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying is probably one of the best known Metal bands in America or mabey even the world. They have come out with six albums in only six years. They have millions of fans around the world. A.I.L.D. has an awesome beat, great drummer, and one of the best screamers of any band in history. If you have never heard them before then one, what is wrong with you, and two, I put a video of them performing one of their best songs, Forever, towards the bottom of the page so watch that and then tell me what you think.
