I love AFI and I dont think in anyway they are sellouts. Everyone is so concerned as to what bands sellout and don't care about the music anymore rather the "Punk" image. They have been around for a long time and they have paid their dues. They started out small and toured in a crappy van for a long time. Dexter Holland suggested that they sign to Dreamworks because he felt that they could do better things with more money and a better studio so they followed his advice. After all he is the man who signed them and the man who was responsible for getting their music out and letting them do what they love and play music for people.
