Quotes:
As you get older you will gain a bit more control over everything. Don't let anyone, even your parents, break you. Find good people who care about you and surround yourself with just them. If you can't find them at first, find good music and fall into it and let it hold you until they come... Davey Havok Submitted by: Raven
| Interviewer: If you were stranded on a desert island, what one album would you want with you? Jade: I'd build a lifeboat out of sand. Davey: [looking confused] What?! Submitted by: Bethany

Band Name Origins:
- In high school before they even knew how to use their instruments, they came up with the name "ants farming indonesia" since they never thought they'd make it big. I read it in Smash Magazine back in '95. Submitted by: Myst
- The band comprised of Davey, Jade, Adam, and Hunter has always stood for "A Fire Inside". Previously, it was known as Anthems For Insubordinates, and NOT (despite popular belief) Asking For It. The reason fans were told to write to Asking For It was because they wrote in to ask for free merchendise and information about the band. Submitted by: Nixx

A Fire Insight
AFI combined with Deep Insight
(Note: AFI stands for 'A Fire Inside.') They'd either be an American emo band or a Finnish punk band, I guess.

Song Lyrics That Mention Brand Name Products:
"Cereal Wars"
The Lyrics: Get up early in the morning,
going to the store. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. Fuckin' store never has the monsters and they never get more. Post, Kellogs, General Mills? It's the cereal war. I hope sexual chocolate is in stock, it's got a condom in the box. I'll try some cocoa puffs today. What the fuck is Sonny anyway? Some say Dino's are the best, they've got more marshmallows than the rest. There's not a lot of cocoa in cocoa crispies, and always stay away from wheaties. Now it's dinner time and I'm going back to the store. I had some Erkles, 'liked 'em a lot. It's the cereal war. I wish I were Calvin or Hobbes and then I could try sugar bombs. The soggies will never get Cap'n Crunch, I guess I'll have Crunch Berries for lunch. Breakfast cereals need to be sweet, that's the only kind I'll eat. Give me sugar not nuts and twigs! Do I look like a fuckin' squirrel to you? Product Brand Name: Post, Kellogs, General Mills Monsters Cocoa Puffs Wheaties Dinos Erkles

| "Love Like Winter"
The Lyrics: Read the lines in the mirror through the lipstick tray
"Por siempre" Why: Por siempre means 'forever' in Spanish. AFI has a few other songs in which random Spanish is thrown about, the other one coming to my mind being "The Leaving Song Part II".
