If you didnt know, Davey was influenced by Poison and Motley Crue(believe it or not, its in an interview from 94'). Jade loves the 80's as well(Someone asked him to say what he liked about the 80's, and he said "I'd have to write you a book" or something), and his guitar work even in AFI songs shows it.
Ever notice the huge, anthematic, layered vocals on alot of AFI songs? Although the Misfits(a huge AFI influence) did this too(to a small degree), AFI's Harmonies are much more similiar to that of Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, and Motley Crue.
Ahh, sorry for going Nuts. AFI did an amazing cover of this song. Davey's voice is alot like Axl's too(not quite as skilled, but also not quite as whiney) and he could nail this song where all the other bands on the "Punk Goes Metal" couldnt dream of emulating Axl's voice. Jade nails the guitar Solo, and in fact, due to the better mixing, I like listening the AFI version of the Song More. The Rhythm section is tight and Hunter plays Duff's basslines almost with more feel than the original artist himself(Although it could be due to better mixing).
All in all this is an amazing cover. They nail it perfectly.
