AFI released AFI (The Blood Album) on Jan. 20. Read our review here.
We asked guitarist Jade Puget if it's tough making a setlist from 10 wide-ranging albums. He said, “It can be. I’ve been the one making the setlists over the years. Every night, I’m sitting there trying to make a setlist and it’s hard. [Laughs.] With four people in the band, everyone wants and doesn’t want to play different songs.
“On top of that, you want to make a setlist that the fans are going to like and enjoy, so I need to balance all of that—it can get tricky. There’s so much material. I think we have, like, 150 songs recorded or something like that.”
