Trivia Tuesday: General Facts

It's been a few weeks since our last Trivia Tuesday, and for that we apologize. But we think you'll enjoy the following obscure facts. There is no theme for this week's trivia.
  • There is a Love Like Winter Rock Mix, released on one of the Decemberunderground singles. This edit removes the high-pitched synth at the end of each chorus (right after “from years before”)
  • There is a director’s cut of The Leaving Song, Pt. 2 video, released on The Leaving Song, Pt. II VHS Promo in 2003 by Dreamworks Records.
  • At the end of the The Days of the Phoenix video shoot, the band played a live set for the moshing kids filmed in the video (The show/video was at 14 Below)
  • Adam wrote the lyrics to "Key Lime Pie," as well as a few lines of “Rizzo in the Box". He also credited for the title "Brownie Bottom Sundae"
  • "Key Lime Pie" was released in two capacities: on the Wingnut Records vinyl release of Answer That and Stay Fashionable (1995) and also as a bonus track on the Japanese edition of Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes (1997). Both versions are the same.
  • Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes was pressed with at least 17 different colors of vinyl. Only 4 of them are collectible (Yellow, tan, green and white). All Nitro vinyl were re-pressed in random colors.
  • An acoustic live version of "Silver and Cold" was officially released on 99x Joyride, a compilation featuring Queens Of The Stone Age and The Cure, and was later re-released on the Miss Murder UK CD2 Single. AFI played The Leaving Song and Dancing Through Sunday accoustically aswell.
  • AFI has done live covers of “My Name Is Jonas” by Weezer, “Mountain Song” by Jane’s Addiction, “True Romance” by Tiger Army, and many more. A list of all known live covers is here.
  • Mike Fasano has done drum tech on four albums, dating back to 1998’s Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes.

  6. The LLW remix reminded me of another thing: there's a weirdo slightly different mix of Days of the Phoenix also. I think it's from radio promo singles, maybe? It's pretty similar but has an extra "whoa" (possibly from Jade?) in the slow bridge part. Really weird.

  10. According a post on the OMB, AFI covered "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down" from the Ramones a couple nights ago. Someone said they have a video that they'll post soon, so you can add that to the live covers list.
