I’ve been an AFI fan for a long time. If I remember correct. This cover was played on the radio because it was the offspring. This ended up helping AFI get Days of the Phoenix played on the radio. I could be wrong, it’s been a while, but that’s how I remember it.

It’s what got me interested in AFI, right before Days of the Phoenix. Circa Black Sails era, I think.

Edit: and because AFI was on Nitro Records at the time, it was a cool move from The Offspring to immediately promote their best signing.

I believe Dexter Holland and Davey Havok are pretty close friends too
