Heh, yea; AFI is completely off topic to this convo :)

Ten years ago, AFI had JUST signed to small Nitro Records; it'd be another 3-4 years until they'd define their new, amazing sound (1999).

Coheed is better than most of the shit bands mentioned on this site.

If you don't like them it's your opinion, but seriously recgonize the fact that they don't play the same run of the mill junk 98% of the bands mentioned here play.

But hey some like hellogoodbye or whatever it is you like.

i gotta defend coheed here. they are one of the more unique sounding bands out there and theyre also fantastic musicians. i hope mic and josh come back because theyre badass. just because they don't throw their guitars around or play "killer breakdowns" doesn't mean they're a shitty live band. these dudes can play better than 90% of the bands mentioned on ap.net easy.

whatever your opinion, kudos to you for referencing that

yeah what's up with all the coheed hating? people are probably just upset that coheed is now popular. it's a shame they have a new drummer for the tour, i just loved watching the old one play.

I speak only for myself, but:

I don't hate them "because they're popular". That's completely not my style--from Jersey, I've seen bands like MCR in the smallest of basements and houses. When they exploded, I most certainly never hated on them for a moment.

Coheed is a different story:

I saw them many times. On the Thursday/Thrice tour, Claudio stopped in the middle of my then-favorite CoCa song (Delirium Trigger) and just started going on some baked out rant about him getting high and stepping on a nail, while the rest of the band tried to force him to carry on. It was embarassing.

I saw them in Webster Hall; they had to play Welcome Home twice. The second time, Claudio was a complete dick to everyone.

I know all about Claudio's drunken rampage in Canada.

I saw them open for Underoath, it was weak.

In the SSTB era, their live show was more spot on (perhaps because the songs were much simpler). I appreciate a long song, but some of their newer songs border on excessive--some of them are very excessive. Just because you CAN, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Coheed has just been on a downward spiral for me. I imagine other people feel the same way, though I do imagine your'e correct--a lot of douchebags hate on a band for getting success.

coheed is good live...and claudio was super nice when i met him

That seriously blows. The bassist is so awesome live.

Co&Ca have always been one of my favorite bands and will always be there
the 3 times I have seen them they put on a great live show everytime
never stopping or getting too drunk to play or anything
I have heard rumors circling around the band from close people that both Mic and Josh are doing hard drugs and that might just have a hand in the line-up change


p.s. AFI's best has already been long gone where as I feel Coheed's is still to come

wow i suck.

Aca first off the webster show is not something you can faul the band on. The microphones were not set up properly and fuse had to have them reshoot it so it would pick up the song.

With that said I agree 100% that their live show has considerably gone down hill. Quite sad.
