From Free net encyclopedia

Jade Puget (full name Jade Errol Puget, born November 28, 1972) is the current guitarist for the band AFI. He joined the band in 1998. Before joining AFI Jade played in various bands, most significantly Loose Change (which shared a 7" with AFI in 1992 when the bands first started. This 7", titled Dork, was AFI's first vinyl), and Redemption 87.

Jade's recordings with the band include Black Sails (1999), All Hallows (1999), Days of the Phoenix (2001), and 336 (2002)and the full length CDs Black Sails in the Sunset (1999), The Art of Drowning (2000), and Sing the Sorrow (2003).

Jade's influence as a musician contributed to AFI's change over the years, as is evident from the differences between Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes (1997, pre-Jade) and Black Sails in the Sunset (1999, post-Jade).

Jade shares the Straight Edge lifestyle with Davey. However, the band itself is not Straight Edge. Jade has a sister, a half brother named Gibson Casiam, and a younger brother named Smith who is AFI's tour manager. Gibson Casiam appears in the poem titled The Spoken Word, the poem between the end of ...But Home Is Nowhere and the beginning of This Time Imperfect on Sing The Sorrow. Jade joined the band after completing college (the rest of the band had quit college in order to continue with the band). He has a degree in social theory from UC Berkeley.

Jade has several tattoos, such as the "18" on his arm (which was originally a "13".). He also has brown hair with blonde on top. Jade has a piercing on the skin between his teeth and his upper lip (also called a smiley) and has ear piercings.

Jade is currently dating internet and LA hipster scene vixen Marissa Festa. The pair have been spotted at numerous hip events, including many documented by internet impresario Mark the Cobra Snake. A recent shot of the two posted on the website http://www.thecobrasnake.com sparked outrage amongst fans and non-fans alike. This led to the picture being voluntarily pulled from the site by its owner, Mark.
