“We don’t wear your Abercrombie, so please don’t listen to our punk rock.”
“I'm Davey and I sing, make faces, and swing from trees.”
“How long will I be doing this? ‘Till I die.”
“If I was gay I would be proud of it.”
“My ideal girl should be smart, drug free, and hot. People say it's not important but it is… she can't hate me either.”
“We met a really young boy, probably about 12 or 13 years old, with eyeliner on, which really excited me.”
“This barricade is a piece of shit. I could build better. Yeah, yeah, believe it or not, the kid with the lipstick knows how to build stuff.”
“How many times will Davey put a disc into the CD player before he realizes it’s a DVD.”
“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, let it hold you until they come.”
“Bottom line: everyone poops, everyone pees.”
“Do you want to see my hunk of burning love?”
"A girl in Salt Lake once asked me, ‘Why are you wearing make-up, are you a fag?’ I then said ‘Well, if I'm a fag for wearing make-up, you must be a dyke in blue jeans.’ I also informed her that she was just angry because I was prettier than she was."
"One time I was singing along with a boy that looked like me in the crowd and he pushed away the mic and started making out with me and accidently bit my lip and I had to get stitches."
"The Lord has mysterious fashion sense."
"Crowd surfing is a product of car commercials."
"Unfortunatley we forgot to use a cowbell but some of the stuff you mentioned might show up here and there. Fuck, we totally shoulda used a cowbell."
"I wish terrible things upon the person that just did that." [after being hit in the crotch with a shoe by an idiot in the crowd]
"I'm an extremist, I have to deal with my own extreme personality, and I walk the fine line of wanting to die and wanting to be the ruler of it all."
"The worst yet best show ever was in Toronto, the last time we were in Canada. The bouncers were being ridiculous – they were really roughing up these kids to the extent that we kept having to stop performing and reprimand the bouncers. At one point, I was telling a bouncer to leave this kid alone and this huge guy responds by slapping this little punk kid. Fuckin’ hit him right in the face, he fell back. I lose control, I’m freaked out and I told the audience, "this guy just slapped one of you. Get him." So the bouncers fled, and 700 kids started attacking them, the promoters were all over the stage. The show was going to end – it was fucked. I gained composure and apologized to the crowd, to the bouncers over the PA and told the kids what I said was really stupid, and not to hurt anybody. We started playing again, and the rest of the show was all for one, one for all. There was no security, so the kids had to watch out for each other. Our last song, the stage was just packed with 200 kids, singing along. When the show was over, the bouncers locked me in the dressing room, about four of them. They were threatening to kill me, breaking bottles and holding them up to my face. I almost got killed; it was one of the most frightening experiences of my life."
"The people who send us fan mail written in blood say the nicest things, so it doesn't freak us out too much."
"In the darkest corner of your darkest dream. There is a place where all lost can be found. And in that corner, crouched in the cold, you will find me, and you will find yourself."
"The song is based on detachment, seclusion and separation, but I intentionally don't write in a way that is very specific so that people can take what they need to from my songs. When I was growing up there were songs that meant a lot to me, and then I found out they meant something entirely different to the artist, and it ruined it for me. I never want to do that to someone."
JADE: "We don't encourage our fans to send us dead things."
DAVEY: "Or alive things."
JADE: “People that like Ricky Martin are going to see our Latin song titles and be like, ‘Yeah, I'll buy this.’”
HUNTER: “That and Dave's pants”
DAVEY: “Yeah, Ricky Martin's got nothing on my pants.”
DAVEY: “I blow!”
JADE: “Davey is quite a 'demon in the sack' so to speak.”
DAVEY: “I like French Crullers. There's a donut that they make in this donut shop in Ukiah, it's called the 'Chocolate Fuck You', or the 'Fuck You I'm Chocolate' or something. You know what I'm talking about Adam? It's this big chocolate bar.”
ADAM: “Uh, no.”
DAVEY: “What's wrong with you?!”
DAVEY: “Well, we have a couple of stories about that... When we played with SNFU, Geoff and I and our friend Smiff... Mark was there too, Adam had already left, for reasons unmentionable. We were standing at the table selling stuff, and there was this big girl... She was really tall, about 100 feet tall and...She wasn't fat or anything - she was just BIG. She had this big smile and bright red lipstick and a short blonde flat - top - a bleached blonde haircut like the girl in Rocky IV, or whatever.”
MARK: “Like Susan Powter.”
DAVEY: “Yeah, like her! 'Stop the Insanity!' So, she kept coming up to the SNFU table and out stuff and saying, "Anything free?" and she'd smile. We'd say, "No" and she'd make this grimace, pout, roll her eyes and walk away. She kept coming up and doing that and at one point I was drinking Jolt and I had let somebody else drink out of it. There was lipstick on it when she gave it back to me. I said to Dave (SNFU's manager) after I drank from it, "That's the closest thing I've come to a kiss in a long time." And so, he says, "Aw, Davey, you just got to exert yourself." So the big girl comes back and takes these two SNFU stickers off the table and tapes them to her breasts, which were kind of large. Dave says, "Don't make me go there, ‘cause I will." She says, "Well what if I run?" and Dave says, "Well, me and Davey will have to catch you and tear them off. Won't that be fun?" I was just sitting there, so Dave says, "I'll tell you what. If you give my friend Davey here a little kiss I'll let you have those two stickers for free." She says, "Okay," and then he asked, "How about you, Dave?", "Uh, okay." - I thought I was just gonna get a little smooch...”
GEOFF: “So Davey puckers up and the girl takes her hand, puts it behind Davey's head, and this 80 foot tongue shoots out of her mouth and goes down Davey's throat!”
DAVEY: “I was shocked, I was crying, I couldn't breathe. Oh, it was horrible.”
GEOFF: “My eyes popped out of my head about three feet.”
DAVEY: “It was traumatizing.”
MARK: “And later on when she saw you what did she say? Oh, ‘I'll see YOU later.’”
DAVEY: “I'm a fucking idiot.”
INTERVIEWER: “Alright um, how about, what's your favorite pick-up line?”
DAVEY: “I don't have a pick-up line. Someone asked me that already, just a few days ago. Um, I've, uh, I've never had one used on me, and I've never used one on anybody else so um, I've heard some I like, the one that goes, did it hurt?”
INTERVIEWER: “What?”
DAVEY: “When you fell from heaven? I like that. [laughsalot] I would never ever use that but, yeah.”
GEOFF: “Oh yeah, ask us about Wal-Mart.”
DAVEY: “Yeah, ask us about Wal-Mart.”
INTERVIEWER: “What about Wal-Mart?”
GEOFF: “Well, let me tell ya. I went there with Dave and Mark looking for material to print patches on and there was this gangster girl there and she walked by and laughed and said, "It's not Halloween, you know." While she was walking away I said, ‘You could have fooled me.’ She came back and got in my face and said, ‘What did you say?’ I looked her in the eye and said, ‘YOU COULD HAVE FOOLED ME.’ I basically spelled it out for her and she was tough or something and said that Ukiah was her city and Wal-Mart was her territory and to watch out for her or some crap.”
ADAM: “That's basically why we left.”
GEOFF: “Then her boyfriend got in my face and said, ‘Hey man, this is my girl. Why don't you shut up?’, and I said, ‘well then why don't you tell her to shut up?!’, and he just walked away. That was about it. Oh, and there's another story about Wal-Mart. Davey and I were buying dog chains and this redneck, typical Ukiahan guy walked by, and said, ‘Hey look, they're buying their jewelry.’ And then Davey says…”
DAVEY: “That's right, MOTHERFUCKER!!
GEOFF: “I didn't see who it was. I looked for him and was gonna go up and say, ‘Yeah, they're for your wife’, but I couldn't find who he was.”
FAN: "Davey is the new Jesus!"
DAVEY: "I think it's the hair. Is it the hair?"
FAN: "Davey, I wanna have your kids!"
DAVEY: "Well I'll be sure to call ya."
"I Will Follow You Into The Dark"
Love of mine some day you will die
But I'll be close behind
I'll follow you into the dark
No blinding light or tunnels to gates of white
Just our hands clasped so tight
Waiting for the hint of a spark
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
In Catholic school as vicious as Roman rule
I got my knuckles bruised by a lady in black
And I held my tongue as she told me
"Son fear is the heart of love"
So I never went back
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
You and me have seen everything to see
From Bangkok to Calgary
And the soles of your shoes are all worn down
The time for sleep is now
It's nothing to cry about
Cause we'll hold each other soon
The blackest of rooms
If Heaven and Hell decide
That they both are satisfied
Illuminate the NOs on their vacancy signs
If there's no one beside you
When your soul embarks
Then I'll follow you into the dark
Then I'll follow you into the dark
"In the world you are someone, but to someone you are the world."
what does that mean?
I means you are someone. duh.
accept if your emo then no one loves you.
The most pathetic bio you'll ever read
Jade Puget popped out of his mother on November 28, 1973. THE END.
Now, my friend...for the QUOTES! *insert dramatic music here*
*"Davey is quite a "demon in the sack" so to speak."*
*"If I asked you to sleep with me, would your answer be the same as your answer to this question?"*
*If you want to see some ill patty cake, you should see Davey and I do it. Then watch us play patty cake.*
*Davey doesn't watch the damn road when he's driving. I'm sure if we crashed he would be fine and I would be imbedded in a tree. If he ever kills me with his driving though, I'm going to come back as a squirrel and run up his pant leg.*
*One day, when I was young, my Dad brought home a guitar. I was quite intrigued and went to pick it up but he said, "Son, unless you can wail on that thing like Nuno Bettencourt from Extreme or maybe Steve Vai when he was playing with David Lee Roth and he had the sweet double-necked guitar that was like two legs coming out of a heart, keep your damn hands off it!" And I never touched a guitar again. So to answer your question, yes, I answer the phone whether it rings or not.*
*Do you wanna have sex with me? No? Rape it is!*
*I don't think the Montrealites have recovered from my yelling, "I am a grapefruit! Give me all your croissants!!" in French in the supermarket last time I was there.*
*Tell him to come check me out when I'm shredding some sweet fingertapping solos and then he'll be like, 'Power chords blah blah blah' and I'll hit the whammy bar and it'll sound like a plane crashing at an air show and then he'll try to say some other stuff like, 'Blah blah blah yadda yadda yadda' and that's when I fire up the wah-wah pedal and it'll be like 'Wokka wokka wokka wo-wokka wokka' all up in his freakin' face.*
*Hmm, maybe instead of jumping off the drum riser you could just step carefully down of of it but make a crazy I'm-going-off-
*So things are going just swell, we eat bagels, we play songs, we take our shirts off and wrestle.*
*I remember Adam gave me this crappy piece of binder paper with a list of all these songs for me to learn and some had checks by them, some had stars, some were underlined but I already new how to play them so I threw that damn crappy crap-ass piece of dumb binder paper in the damn garbage.*
*A fire inside means to me is going back stage right before a show, and finding the chocolate soy milk was eating by the three other members*
*I'm doing alot more air guitar on this record.*
*I can bench 5 corn dogs*
*I read Catcher in the Rye several times, good book. As for equipment breaking, that's typical, although my amp breaking at Krazyfest doesn't beat this time we were on tour with the Offspring in England. We walked out on stage at Wembley Arena in front of 11,000 people and started playing Fall Children and my amp just quit. Hunter and Adam had already started playing so they didn't want to just randomly stop, so they continued to sort of jam aimlessly while people were scrambling to get a new head set up. This sold out arena was staring at me while I just kind of stood there like, "Hi! I'm rad!*
*Major barre chords are sweet, like the first Police Academy movie. Power chords are more like Police Academy 7, where they go to Russia or something and where the hell was Steve Gutenberg in that movie?*
*Did I say I had a Les Paul? Sorry, I meant Ru Paul.*
*Do you mean mid evil as in a book that's only partly evil? Where the bad guy shoots you then takes you to the hospital and stays up all night reading to you?*
*We're getting super radly awesome close to being done. We finally finished backing vocals and the came out totally 100% neat. I made plenty of supercool faces while I was singing, like this one where I had my eyes all clenched tight and then I hit this high note and looked up to the sky and slowly raised my fist like Whitney Houston in "I Will Always Love You".
Another time, I ate all the cheese bagels and Adam was mad.
In other news, we had a photo shoot today for the album artwork in this old abandoned building.
Here's what happened to me there: I stepped on a dead mouse, sat in a stinky pigeon nest, and set my glasses down in crackhead puke.*
Davey: That's right, MOTHERFUCKER!
Davey: I blow!
Jade: Davey is quite a 'demon in the sack' so to speak...
Davey: Yeah, Ricky Martin's got nothing on my pants.
Davey: I'm a fucking idiot.
Davey: I like french crullers. There's a donut they make in this donut shop in Ukiah, it's called the 'Chocolate Fuck You' or the 'Fuck You I'm Chocolate' or something. You know what's I'm talking about Adam? It's this big chocolate bar.
Adam: Um, no.
Davey: What's wrong with you?!
Interviewer: Hey Jade, are the rest of the guys jealous that the entire Girl's Not Grey takes place in your cotch?
Jade: Hey Dave, are you jealous that the entire Girl's Not Grey video takes place in my crotch?
Davey: No, because I'm going to take place in your crotch.
Interviewer: Isn't it weird to think your faces are on a lot of bedroom walls?
Davey: We don't think of ourselves in those terms. It may be true but it's hard to think of our selves in those terms.
Hunter: I have a poster of Adam on my bedroom wall.
Davey: We all have posters of Adam.
Interviewer: What's your spiritual background or religion?
Davey: I'm God.
Hunter: He follows him. I'm athiest.
Interviewer: Oh my God, you don't believe Davey exists?!
Hunter: No.
Jade: We don't encourage our fans to send us dead things.
Davey: Or live things.
Interviewer: Who are you religionwise?
Davey: I am God! No wait, I am the devil! No, damn I know this one...
Davey: How many times will Davey put a disk into a CD player before realising it's a DVD?
Davey: I'm Davey and I sing, make faces and swing from trees.
Davey: I've been wearing makeup since I was a kid, I remember asking my mother if I could try on hers.
Interviewer: How has AFI changed since you signed and put out your first album?
Davey: We shave now.
Davey: A girl in Salt Lake once asked me, 'Why are you wearing makeup, are you a fag?' I then said, 'Well if I'm a fag for wearing makeup, you must be a dyke in blue jeans.' I also informed her that she was just angry because I was prettier than she was.
Fan: Davey, you look sexy.
Davey: Davey always looks sexy.
Davey: I find drug use disrespective, self destructive, and weak. I want no part of it. I believe in complete respect for myself and others.
Davey: Crowd surfing is a product of car commercials.
Fan: Davey, I wanna have your kids!
Davey: I'll be sure to call ya.
Fan: Davey is the new Jesus!
Davey: Umm I think it's the hair, is it the hair?
Davey: This barricade is a piece of shit. I could build better. Yeah, yeah, believe it or not, the kid with the lipstick actually knows how to build stuff...
Davey: I don't know what the monster is. There is a monster. It happens in the studio. Sometimes it happens on stage. And it's in my neck. Sometimes it happens when I'm talking like I'd be talking to you and the monster bites me... It hurts.
Davey: During the last Warped Tour, in Houston, I started hallucinating onstage, it was so hot. I would move from one side of the stage to the other and not realise how I got there. There was a small piece of shade near the drum riser, but as the set progressed it got smaller and smaller. Finally I thought, 'Maybe I can crawl underneath the drum riser itself.' I had to be out of my mind - it was only a couple feet off the ground. I wasn't even considering how fucking stupid I'd look.
Davey: Can I have a bite of your hamburger? Just don't tell the vegans...
Davey: Rabbits. You know, bunnies. If you don't look out for them, the little bastards sneak up on you and bite you and shit.
Davey: I love Texas! Yeehaw!
Davey: We all cry alone in the dark sometimes. The ones who don't are the ones to fear.
this world is a sad existance that lives to torture it's inhabitants. especially me.
