Die Romantic- A Look At Aiden
by Dave


We Sleep Forever (2006)

Lets see if Aiden have learnt anything one year on. I don't want to get too detailed into this one since the video isn't all that interesting, other than Aiden have now morphed into AFI;



Even AFI don't want to be AFI anymore.

Too bad they're still suffering from a case of bloaty bassist syndrome. He's not exactly Pete Wentz, is he? Although I suppose he has an upper on Wentz in that he doesn't have Downs syndrome.

On a serious note though, these guys have actually raped AFI's music down to the ground with We Sleep Forever. Specifically they've ripped off a song from AFI's 2003 album Sing The Sorrow called Girls Not Grey. Don't believe me? Compare these two songs;

Aiden- We Sleep Forever:


AFI- Girls Not Grey:


Same half-time intro, same beat on the verse with a standalone bass
and same dopey crowd woahs on the chorus. Aiden never did this in any of their previous stuff. These hacks can't even write their own music, so instead seek to change their music just to fit in with whatever fad they seem to think is popular at the time. Great job boys, how do these fuckers even sleep at night? There's kids starving in Africa and these guys get to live the rock and roll lifestyle by practically singing someone else's song! All whilst dressing up and acting like John Wayne Gacy's circlejerk buddy. Oh well, lets see if the lyrics fare any better this time;

Quote:
That clairvoyant stare and grin,
God won't forgive me,
For this I know ,
and tragedy unfolds tonight,
So sever my skin apart,
Take this sadness and close your eyes love
This kind of self-harm glamourising rubbish can't be good for people, can it? What the hell does "take this sadness and close your eyes love" even mean? Argh, maybe now you can understand my anguish every time I get a glimpse of these guys. But wait, it gets even worse. Lets take a look at one of their most recent singles, being released only last year.

Actually before we do, I should probably warn you about the huge dip into immense gayness that this article takes with the next video. Seriously, it caught me off guard the first time I saw it on TV, like being smacked in the face with a big fluffy purple pecker. Trust me, this is gayer than a storm cloud raining cocks into your mouth, and just as sore on the teeth. Don't say I didn't warn you.
