Jade Errol Puget (born November 28, 1973 in Santa Rosa, California) is the guitarist for the alternative rock band AFI (joined in 1998), and the keyboardist/synthesizer operator for the electronic duo Blaqk Audio. Puget is vegetarian and straight edge.
Puget has a half-sister named Alishea, a half-brother named Gibson, and a younger brother named Smith, who is also AFI's tour manager. Gibson appears in the poem in the interlude of "...But Home Is Nowhere" full length album version Sing The Sorrow.
With straight A's throughout his K-12 career, Puget dropped out of school at the age of 17 and continued his education at UC Berkeley, where he received a bachelor's degree in sociology in 1996. After graduating from college, Puget joined AFI.
He has various tattoos, including an "18" (which was originally a "13"), a cat jumping through a 9 (a tattoo he shares with Nick 13 of Tiger Army and Davey Havok), and the word "committed" arched across his stomach. On his arms, he has the words "Boys Don't Cry" (an homage to The Cure) and the words "Love Will Tear Us Apart" (a Joy Division tribute). He also has the word "Paprika" on his arm.
Puget plays a Gibson Les Paul Studio through Mesa Boogie dual rectifier and modified Marshall plexi amp heads with Marshall cabs. He used several Les Pauls, a Gibson SG, a Fender Telecaster, and Esquire for the recording of Sing the Sorrow. Jade has stated in an interview in Guitar World magazine that he currently uses a Diamond Amplification Nitrox[1] for his live setup and that he used a Gibson Cloud 9 Les Paul for a good deal of the recording of Crash Love.
Before joining AFI on November 2, 1998, Jade Puget played in various bands, including Loose Change and Redemption 87.[2] His first album with AFI was 1999's Black Sails in the Sunset. The first song he wrote for the band was "Malleus Maleficarum".[3] The band released The Art of Drowning in 2000, Sing the Sorrow in 2003, Decemberunderground in 2006, and Crash Love in 2009. AFI won a VMA for best rock video for "Miss Murder" in 2006. Puget is also a member of Blaqk Audio with AFI bandmate Davey Havok. Their debut album, CexCells, was released on August 14, 2007. Blaqk Audio's new album, Bright Black Heaven, is due to be released in Spring 2011.
Puget remixed Marilyn Manson's single "Heart-Shaped Glasses (When the Heart Guides the Hand)," released as an international bonus track from the 2007 album Eat Me, Drink Me,[4] and The Cure's song "Freakshow" from their 13th album 4:13 Dream. The remix appears on The Cure's 2008 EP Hypnagogic States. He also recently remixed Tiger Army's "Where the Moss Slowly Grows" off the band's latest album Music From Regions Beyond.[5] The song is only available through purchasing the album on iTunes. He also did some additional production on The Dear & Departed's debut album Something Quite Peculiar.[6] Additionally, he recently remixed Tokio Hotel's UK single "Ready, Set, Go!" from their first English album, Scream.[7] Jade also did some production work for the band Scarlet Grey on their song "Fancy Blood" on the album of the same name.[8] His remix of The Static Age's song "Vertigo" (called "Airplanes") appeared as a bonus track on the band's album "Neon Nights Electric Lives.
Puget was named "Best Guitarist" of 2009 by a poll among readers in the February issue of Alternative Press magazine.
