Markus Stopholese

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mark Stopholese played guitar for AFI from the beginning, but was asked to leave after the A Fire Inside EP.

It is rumoured that a song was written about him and the situation regarding him. Davey has said that "It was apparent that he (Mark) was no longer interested in being in the band on any level."

His work can be found on Answer That and Stay Fashionable, Very Proud of Ya, Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes and the A Fire Inside EP, as well as many compilations from the bands early years such as Bombing the Bay. He is only seen in two music videos of AFI which are "...He Who Laughs Last" and " Third Season".

Conversation about Mark, especially the situation surrounding his departure is not encouraged in the AFI Fan Community, suggesting that his departure was on less than friendly terms.
