"AFI bassist's D.I.Y. homage to old-school Prince?
You might expect Revenge to resemble AFI's dark, moody punk, but be prepared for a shock: Most of the tracks on Revenge are a loving homage to early-'80s Prince. The melody and delivery on "Out of Town" are so similar to the Dirty Mind classic "When You Were Mine" that you may begin to unconsciously combine both songs' lyrics. What's more, Hunter, just like Prince back in the day, wrote, played, produced, recorded and mixed almost the entire album. He delivers the tracks in an unpolished, D.I.Y. style reminiscent of the miniature R&B icon's early work.
But if you're expecting AFI, steer clear. And if you haven't heard older Prince music (or barely remember it), Revenge may sound painfully naive and even funny to you. As derivative as it seems, Revenge still somehow emerges as a fun, infectiously simple, near-tribute to the Purple One. You know, before he went Platinum, had a symbol or rediscovered God." -AP magazine

I won a lot of respect for you on the DU tour, for being so real with your fans. When everyone else was talking to fans, through a gate, you were hanging out with us, taking pictures, ect.
It's hard to find someone talented that is able to keep a humble spirit. :D
I was totally going to say, "Whoa Hunter, why are you online this early in the morning?" then I realized that it's 10'o-clock at night over in Japan right now. Have fun over there!
I want to thank you for taking the time out to talk with me and take some pics, at the New Jersey show, it meant allot to me, the show was AMAZING!!!! There is nothing like a AFI concert, the best ever!!!!!
