Avenged Sevenfold

[Drunken Viking]

Your gonna learn all of WTF, thats cool, but the title track might be a little bit of a hastle. :lol: Can you find me a correct tab of Unholy Confessions and possibly Second Heartbeat if it's not to much trouble, I can't tell which ones are good and which ones suck.

[I'm Charming]

Which song out of the first six was hardest?

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I'm just gonna reply to some stuff I saw in here....

But I don't see where you get off talking about Metallica selling out cause they changed there style three times in 20 years when A7X has practically changed theri style
every album. And how the hell can you say they were selling out because they created St.Anger? that was your worst comment ever.

If that was directed at me, not once did i claim Metallica 'sold out'. I said they were money hungry. This in only my opinion though. You can always look at things in different lights. I beleive load and re-load were money grabbing albums because when they were released 'rock' music was rather popular among the mainstream. Metallica took advantage of this. Then we get to St.Anger. Some people with claim that this was a 'bold' new area for Metallica, but i disagree. I just think they were trying to play on the success of the whole nu-metal thing. Downtuned guitars, repetitive riffs, lame lyrics and no solos. Sound Fimiliar?

All opinions though.

It sounds all to fimiliar...

It's sadly become "acceptable" for bands to come up with no talent and make it huge.... I blame mtv and fuse... for parading all these talentless bands as if they are god.

It's happening with all genres as well... Thanks to mtv, people now consider mcr "punk".
Last time I checked punk was, Misfits, Dead kennedys, sex pistols and such.

Metal,
Thanks to headbangersball or w/e it is.
They play a ton of lame hxc bands and nu metal... Then mention some noteworthy band and people say....

WOW... they must really know music...

I really think the standards of music have been lowered...

[nowitzki]

Okay so maybe that one comment was out of line. Let me re-state it....

It is a very unique and unpredictable album (coming from the last two) but after listening to the first song you have the entire album listened too. but you can say the same thing for St.Anger it was very unpredictable and after Frantic they repeat the whole time But neverthe less let's put this behind us and move on (again)

Sorry that you had to be here for this Rodex.
Sorry, but I still disagree with this a lot (the bit about CoE). Theres so much going on in all the songs, theres no way that you can say that. What about the acoustic ending to Sidewinder? Or the orchestral intro to Strength of the World? These are just two examples but I think most songs on the album have something interesting to offer.

[Britton]

I wasn't trying to randomely bash them, but Alexi just always came off as a prick to me for some reason. I'm sure he isn't it just seems that way to me. I wasn't trying to randomely bash them, I just wanted to stop the arguing, it's nonsence, the same points are repeated every single post.

Even though I like I got that impression for the longest time. Then I got to meet him and he's actually really cool. He let me touch his guitars and pick his brains for advice. Really neat guy.

But Janne was by far the coolest of them

[Drunken Viking]

I haven't ever had a chance to meet them, I just got into the whole Metal sceneand bands like that recently within the last year or so, they only came here once and it was night after Arch Enemy which I went to, and that was the night after A7X which I went to and I was flat broke so I couldn't go. :(

[nowitzki]

My respect for Alexi as a person went after his comments about Dream Theater and Petrucci, but its not going to stop me listening to them. Theres plenty of people in metal who seem like idiots as people (Axl Rose, Phil Anselmo, even M Shadows appears to be a little arrogant in some interviews I've read), but I'm still a huge fan of their music.
Anyone notice how its always the frontmen...

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, they are the only ones who kiss enough *** to make it big.
/South Park Rock The Vote episode.

But yeah, they have the biggest egos, but they kinda have to, they can't be pushovers and say they suck or else they won't be successful at all.

[Riva]

Joe (Arucard) please stay out of the CoB thread, and any other thread where you post your opinions. Unless you have something nice to say, don't say it.

If you do it again, I will ban you.

You can't decide someone is arrogant from reading text... Unless the words said are overt...

I think it shows more in how they express their words... Which you kinda have to see.

I think all frontmen of bands are somewhat arrogant. Some more then others.
I think Matt Heafy takes the cake for that though...

If someone is just calm and says w/e without bringing it up a ton and lowering anyone else... They don't sound as exciting to the casual viewer/listener...

I think it would get to anyone's ego having thousands of people think your god... w/e band from any genre.

WTF!? Your saying Amon Amarth, Bodom, Nile, Shadows Fall, and countless other awesome bands are hardcore?

[I'm Charming]

WTF!? Your saying Amon Amarth, Bodom, Nile, Shadows Fall, and countless other awesome bands are hardcore?

No. If you ever watch headbangers ball.... 1/20 songs is something decent.

99% of stuff on there is pathetic.
Much of it hXc bands...

Sometimes they play a CoB video or Nile... I saw Dimmu Borgir and In Flames once...

[Britton]

I never really get the chance to watch it on a regular basis. But when I do watch it it's usaully good.

[The_Riddler]

I haven't watched Headbangers ball since it came back on tv for the first few months. It was horrible, almost all the bands played were the typical bands you would expect, all the heavy newer metal that came out like Godsmack, Cradle of Filth and just all the bands that I really can't stand.

I can't imagine how it is now, but I can't imagine it being any better than before, the last time it seemed interesting is when I heard Nightwish's video was making a debut.

10 Jan 2006 Avenged Sevenfold throat issues

M. Shadows has admitted that a recurring throat problem forced him to change his vocal style.

Shadows says the change that came into effect for the recording of the band's current album, 'City of Evil', was a change for the better.

While Shadows screamed his way through the group's first two albums, he said he's since learned how to sing properly, and so improved the group's music.

"You know, I had a blood vessel that kept popping. It wasn't a nodule or anything normal, it was just like a small, minor surgery. And when I went to have the surgery, you know, the doctor, he's like, 'You know what, you're gonna keep having this surgery over and over if you don't get some kind of technique or stop screaming.' And so we wanted that on this record. In a way, we were gonna do it anyways, but it was nice to have that whole medical thing backing it up."
Nothing new really, but I guess it gets rid of any hope there might of been of him bringing the scream back.

[Bat_Country]

C'est la vie i guess.
They're still killer live.

[Shadius]

Phew.

Glad that's over.

So none of them get the same treatment? I went in because they were saying ridiculous things about Avenged Sevenfold 'OmgzZZ tyHery look like FAgs|ZZ LOL!!!!' and it angers me that CoB fans can be such idiots. They need to look at their faverouite band and realise 'oh yeh, their not actually that hardcore metal after all, i only like them because i like being a bad *** and against 'hardcore' (which i'd like to point out they don't know what it is atall).

It doesn't really matter if you ban me anyway remember, because i post in a burst once every week to argue with these douches.

Let's just have our fanboyism for our bands and not churn out 3 pages a day of flame fests...

Read my post to you in CoB thread.

Where are you seeing them play?

[The_Riddler]

A friend just gave me two Avenged Sevenfold albums, which I am thankful for saving me a big sum of money that I didn't need to spend. Waking the Fallen, and Seventh Trumpet, I haven't listened to them yet, but I know they both will be better than City of Evil.

Waking the Fallan is the best (in my opinion) and STST just sucks

[Drunken Viking]

I disagree. STST was a very good album IMO, my favorite song is from that album, "Turn The Other Way", I used to not like, but if you give it a try it'll grow on you, the biggest thing for me was his yelling voice, but I grew accustomed to it and it just kinda fits in now.

How did you learn Unholy Confessions, tab or what, cause I'm trying to learn that song.

I learned it from a MX tab... lawl...

I just pulled this outta my head, trying to remember how I play,

A7X "Unholy Confessions" main riff.

I can't promise my memory is right without grabbing my guitar, but I tried.

Play the cords quick and crisp. "bang bang"

Hope that at least helps.

[nowitzki]

That tab is a bit wrong.

EDIT: was just looking for an accurate tab, and theres a lot of bad ones out there. The version on MySongBook.com is correct (if you have Guitar Pro).

I stongly disagree, I think STST is a great album. Darkness Surrounding is one of my favourite songs.

[UpperDecker]

What are you smoking? STST definitely doesn't suck. Its their heaviest/most brutal album. The singing might not be as good as their later releases but it is still a good album.

I didn't say the tab was perfect.... I just tried to remember how I play it out of my head...

If it's just a bit off, someone could prolly figure the little bit out.

[Bat_Country]

STST is a great album, just poorly produced.

That's why I don't like it. I like several songs...but as a whole I really dislike it.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I like STST because it sounds quite metalcorey, but I much prefer their later releases.

I hate STST. For the fact of how "core" it is.

What do you mean "core"?

[Shadius]

What do you mean "core"?

He means he dosn't like how it's more "metalcore" than "metal", I assume.

[Huber]

STST is a perfect example of metalcore IMO. The hardcore punk and metal are both clearly displayed.

[TemperamentalGoat]

STST is their only example of metalcore... WTF had elements of it but as a whole it was far more metal than anything else. And COE was 0 metalcore, dunno why it is still lumped in that genre.

[Britton]

When I'm talking to friends/ people that don't know A7X I don't even give them a genre anymore...I just tell them they will have to give them a listen sometime

Hey Sliptallica! where have you been dude?

[NymphetamineX]

Heyo. Me and my buddy are gonna try to learn Chapter Four... should be pretty sick! Definately one of their best songs, aside from Second Heartbeat.

Which one should we start the shows with?

[NymphetamineX]

Hmm... I would say learn Waking the Fallen, then go directly into Unholy Confessions, like on the album. That'd be awesome to see live... if you can pull it off. :naughty:

I love the City of Evil vocals.

Me too.
They fit the music perfectly IMO.

[Rise Against1337]

I just can't say anything bad about Avenged Sevenfold and not kill myself. its just not possible. They started a revolution of metal sound and now with the release of "City of Evil" have sprouted into a new genre which they again dominate in. Every Album was a masterpiece. STST was the best metal album ive ever heard. WTF was not as hardcore, but nevertheless, BEAUTIFUL. City of Evil, the best current album out!

"Beast and the Harlot" is the perfect opening of an amazing album. The double bass is awesome not only in that song but the whole album. Either that or "Trashed and Scattered" are my favs on the album. "Seize the Day" follows closely behind. It kind reminds me of "Warmness of the Soul" off of STST, but with a GNR touch. amazing stuff

their next album will have some serious competition, as every album released has beaten their previous in some way.

STST is the best Metal album you've heard? wow...

I'm not sure on this but I think Burn it down would actually be a better opening track...I'll give that some more thought though

[Tillius]

To those of you who think the vocals on CoE are bad....what the hell are you smoking? While WTF is...IMO...a much better album...his vocals on CoE are much better.

I can't argue with your opinion, but I can tell you they're more nasal, and that's what puts a lot of people off. I personally think his clean singing on WTF was better, but quite like a lot of CoE as well.

You do have a point there.
I LOVED his voice on I won't see you tonight pt.1

[nowitzki]

His vocals are very nasaly, but the only bit that really bothers me is the end of M.I.A., where his voice sounds terrible (despite M.I.A. being possibly my favourite song on the album).

I read on a fan site that apparently the third single from CoE will be Sieze the Day. Quite a surprising choice I reckon, but I suppose most of the songs on the album are too long to be singles, plus it shows a different side to them compared to Bat Country and Beast and the Harlot.

[Rise Against1337]

I LOVED his voice on I won't see you tonight pt.1

I agree completely. Both of Part 1 and Part 2 are masterpieces

[The_Riddler]

To those of you who think the vocals on CoE are bad....what the hell are you smoking? While WTF is...IMO...a much better album...his vocals on CoE are much better.

I listen to all types of music, both involving clean vocals, odd vocals, screaming/growling just yeah. I can enjoy it, but his voice is just not good on that album. I can't explain exactly why, but it's just not good to hear.

I think Seize the day is actually a better single then beast and the harlet

Well that's how they are gonna atract the very emo kids, and the 80's metalheads, with a Power Ballad. And about MIA, I kinda sounds like he is crying at the end of MIA, but also singing at the same time.

True, thats what Trivium must be trying to do by releasing Dying in Your Arms.

[Rise Against1337]

I think Seize the day is actually a better single then beast and the harlet

In some ways i agree. Seize the day is a beautiful power ballad that completely reminds me of "Sweet Child of Mine", which i love. But Beast and the Harlot is a fast paced, guitar ripping song with sweet double bass beats, that i personally think would attract more people album that seize the day would.

"The Wicked End" is also a great song in my opinion

[deathscreamingsheep]

I think a lot of songs on the album could be potential singles if they weren't so long. The first 6 tracks from Beast and the Harlot to Sieze the Day are the ones that will probably end up being the singles.

Yea that's true. I pretty much think of COE as their Appetite for destruction. I thikn everysong on it will become populer sooner or later.

Yeah, but with this logic A7X won't be band for to much longer. :(

avenged sevenfold (I'm not sure when "X" started meaning "fold", but okay) used to be the butt end of every bad metal joke in the underground muic scene. everyone with taste hated them, their awful vocalist, their cheesy wanna-be 80's metal vibe, and their horrendous goth-dork-gone-homosexual image. they are all about image. bat country is the worst song i have ever heard composed. the mind-numbing "I-E-I-E-I-E" vocal melody makes my colon clench and i start to feel embarassed for my grandkids because they will have to live in a world where this was once the most popular song around.

I definately think A7x really made a good choice by changing their style because i love the old school melodic metal sound. I hope they continue this!

[nowitzki]

I just don't understand some people.
If you don't like a band, don't listen to them. What do you hope to achieve by insulting them?

Anyways. I dont want to deal with that loser any longer. Ya I love City Of Evil, I think A7x are really bringing back the music that people want to hear. I mean, my dad loves this cd and he hates all the music today. I just think that they are totally bringing true metal back!

the first part was a little "just so you know" deal. a lot of the underground music scene is awful, i mean, how else can atreyu and hawthorne heights get so big?

and yes, it is arrogant opinion. this is the part where you ask me if i care. ready?

[I'm Charming]

how's this for constructive?

avenged sevenfold (I'm not sure when "X" started meaning "fold", but okay) used to be the butt end of every bad metal joke in the underground muic scene. everyone with taste hated them, their awful vocalist, their cheesy wanna-be 80's metal vibe, and their horrendous goth-dork-gone-homosexual image. they are all about image. bat country is the worst song i have ever heard composed. the mind-numbing "I-E-I-E-I-E" vocal melody makes my colon clench and i start to feel embarassed for my grandkids because they will have to live in a world where this was once the most popular song around.

so yeah. this band huff the biggest dong in orange county, which is a hard prize to earn because 18visions, throwdown, AND atreyu hail from there.

there's constructive for ya.



I think your a idiot. That's constructive...

Yes. Those other bands from Orange County suck alot.. Atreyu is the most vile out of them, for stealing the riff to The Hive by In Flames.

However....
How does it mean a7x is bad??? You can find lame bands in any county, state, country.....

You fail to take into account that those bands are devoid of any talent while a7x has a great amount of talent.

Try and make a better constructive point next time....

you play all the sweeps and arpeggios you want, if you write dorky songs with a child molestor for a singer, your band is terrible

What does this have to do with a7x????

Who cares about the "scene" or lame bands..... If they are so boring and bad...... They shouldn't be worth the energy typing about....

[I'm Charming]

THANK YOU!

He's reported... I sugguested a couple day vaction from MX so he can think about music and being more mature.

[Progrockin2112]

Ya he has no knowledge what so ever about good music.

[IheartSP]

Yeah I don't like A7x cause I was on the side of the Hatecrew during the little fiasco we had, but taste aside he has no right to say that about them.

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

Ugh, will people with nothing else better to do then just be an annoying douche on the internet just stay the hell away from forums?

Everything is good music.... Good is an opinion....


He just mindlessly bashs a band he has no clue about their music...

I've always liked that song a fair bit,but never really saw it as a favourite.
Same here. Its good, but so is every other song on WTF.

[Progrockin2112]

To tell you the truth I only got into them by hearing Bat Country. I went out and bought City Of Evil and i love it so much. I really havnt listened to much of their other stuff.

[I'm Charming]

You've got to expect it. A7X are getting success, and no one likes a successful band.

No they don't...

sucess= sellout .....and the list goes on for terms to insult a band that's gaining sucess.


I'm not starting... the CoB debate up... but on "sucessful bands being hated"...

That happened with AYDY.... They got a little more popular. People couldn't stand that...

Not as many people knew/heard WTF... but CoE has a style of music that connects with more people... Now more people like a7x....

So what?

They are both good bands and people don't start a band meaning to unsucessfull.... They want to make it...

[Progrockin2112]

I guess I need to get into their old stuff more but i dont know if I like his screaming though.

[Progrockin2112]

I just think Shadows has a great voice and he needs to use it. Although, screaming at the appropriate time is awesome!

[I'm Charming]

I guess I need to get into their old stuff more but i dont know if I like his screaming though.

Pick up a copy of Waking The Fallen... It's excellent... Every song on it...

It's heavier and Shadows screams throughout it and his clear voice is great as well.

[Progrockin2112]

I've heard that Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is really good. What are your opinions on it? How does it compare to the others?

The reason I ask this is because i'm a little new to A7x and i want to know how their other albums compare to city of evil because thats the only one i own. I was told that Waking the Fallen is amazing, and im sure it is.

I'm not big on STST... Waking The Fallen and CoE are the must haves....

Anyway... Get Waking The Fallen... dl a couple songs from STST if your wondering...

Try not to triple post...

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Yeah i don't like STST too much. Nothing on WTF or COE IMO. And if, like your name suggests, you like prog music alot im not sure if STST will be your thing.

I listened to Waking the Fallen quite a bit, but for some reason from what I have heard from Seventh Trumpet, I have liked it much more. I am also quite new in getting into Avenged Sevenfold, but yeah. You should get Waking the Fallen since it has more catchy songs than the other.

Just my opinion though.

[Bat_Country]

:(
What the **** has happend here?
Ugh if you don't like a7x just respect other peoples music tastes and opinions and stay out of the thread. Nothing good is ever going to come of you spamming up our thread going "omG THeY r tEH suX0oRsS"
Just leave us alone and we'll leave you alone. All this is absolutely un-called for.
All the a7x thread regulars should just ignore any other fan-boys and hopefully realising they're not getting a reaction, they'll piss off somewhere else.

/rant

[nowitzki]

Yeah i don't like STST too much. Nothing on WTF or COE IMO. And if, like your name suggests, you like prog music alot im not sure if STST will be your thing.
I'm a huge prog fan, yet I think STST is amazing (not that its a prog album, I just thought I'd point that out).
I'd say definitely give it a try if your not sure about it. I think you can still download Darkness Surrounding and An Epic of Time Wasted from avengedsevenfold.com, so check those out.

[Rise Against1337]

Im proud to say that i didnt get hooked on A7x because of bat country. Some of my friends are like "omg i love a7x, bat country rocks!" i ask them if theyve heard ne other song by them, and they say no. No offence, but i really dont like people who are like that, just because they like one song that hit mainstream completely (tho i gotta admit, it really is catchy), it is NOTHING like STST and WTF.



I got completely hooked on A7x thanks to WTF, with songs like Chapter Four, and Pt 1, then i immediately went to STST. I found STST better than WTF (not to start any arguments here, just my personal, non-flaming opinion.)

Then COE came out which really blew my mind, because they can keep changing genres (more or less) and they excell at it. Bat country (no offence) is actually my least favorite song on the album because it is played too darn much.

:chug: to a7x, u guys rock

[nowitzki]

Bat Country does't get played that much over here but it still think its far from being one of the best songs on the album.

[guitarizzle]

I don't know if you guys know this yet, the video for Beast and the Harlot will premiere on Tuesday on TRL. They will also be performing two songs on there.

Its on the main page here: http://www.chapter-four.net

[Rise Against1337]

Wow, thats pretty awesome. I really love Beast and the Harlot. I hope they make a good music video. what time are they doin this at?

Too bad I'm sick of CoE

I don't think i explained what i meant very well. I just meant that if he was a full on prog-head he might not like STST. I know that COE isnt prog and he likes that, but it has more prog elements (there really isnt many, but ripping solos and longer songs sorta are similar to prog) than STST which is heaps different. But hey, what am i talking about? I should have realised that almost everyone is into heaps of different sub-genres of metal. *Was tired yesterday*.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I really wish all the ****ing wankers would get the **** out of this thread.

[Drunken Viking]

i'll take that as a no one ****ing cares
Ok you do as you wish, but one question, what is your avator of.

an angel on the american flag, what are you ****ing blind AND stupid?!

Why don't you get the **** off these boards.

There is no room on MX for idiots like you.

Mindless immature insults are just plain childish.

You will get banned fast. That's all I have to say.

I love these people that come on these boards to make fun of people who post on them seriously. They take the time to go through a whole signing up process to 'tease' people on the internet. Now thats ****ing cool AND constructive.:thumb:

[guitarizzle]

Anyway, onto a more mature conversation, who would you guys like to see a7x tour with later this year? Shadows said they're gonna do a co-headlining tour later this year but he didn't say what band it was.

[I'm Charming]

Your wearing boots, fag.


You talking to me or this idiot?

Lets get back to a7x.

What is your favorite a7x riff?

I gotta go with the lead at the beginning of Burn It Down.

[Drunken Viking]

drinking beer makes you cool right drunkenviking
No, being a Viking makes me cool, I was just playing into the typical steriotype that most Viking are drunk when I made this name.

EDIT: Not at you MMG, your not wearing boots, are you. He said that he was shaking in his boots.

No. Thanks for finally being honest.

[Drunken Viking]

real vikings wouldn't pillage your house and rape your wife or anything

You are in know position to have any opinion on Vikings, or know anything about them.

[I'm Charming]

Actually, real vikings would sacrifice your weak body over a cold, icy stone with a sword.


I'd reccomend you not challenge a viking.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Oh fair enough then. I never had any gripes about them being on the Warped tour. I think they had good reasons for choosing that over Ozzfest.

[BLS_Infernus]

if they played ozzfest, the already dirt-soldier redneck crowd would boo them off the stage so they can watch disturbed or some awful band no one of any worth cares about

gay kids like gay bands. warped tour it is.

you seriously know nothing of Ozzfest if you think that

[guitarizzle]

The speculation is that they will tour with HIM, or be on Bam's tour. Eh, I would rather they tour with Velvet Revolver or something of that nature.

[guitarizzle]

you eriously know nothing of Ozzfest if you think that

whoa! where did you come from?

j/k

[BLS_Infernus]

Everyone at Ozzfest has a limited time to 20 minute to a half hour. Ozzfest is also the biggest event other then Dave Mustaine's Gigantour for metal

I found this video while looking at some Steve Vai video's. I though of you wankers so I would post it for you. It's a slow average wankfest but I thought you A7X fanboys would like it. My only beef is were is the emotion?

There was a time when Avenged Sevenfold wasn't so awful, image-wise. Musically I think they've improved leaps and bounds (except for Bat Country. Not the worst song ever written, but easily Avenged Sevenfold's worst song) in their latest album, but Christ, THIS is what it feels like to have one of your favorite bands sell out like nothing I've ever seen (except: Metallica). I've liked them (mildly) since STST and made them one of my favorite bands upon WTF. Back then they still had questionable attire and and face makeup, but at least it was never over the top. Back then they didn't release music videos with redneck muscle cars with batwings on it. Back then they routinely communicated with their fans, and seemed very true towards the small scene and crowd they were in. And back then, M. Shadows actually had a nice voice.

Whatever. I'll listen to their album which I find great, but never hype about the band again. Until they redeem themselves and stop posturing around with excessive makeup, retarded videos and demeaning appearances on TRL.

[nowitzki]

A tour with Dream Theater would be immense. I know A7X are huge DT fans, and Mike Portnoy is a big A7X fan. I doubt theres much chance of it happening though, I just sure as hell hope its not HIM.

I disagree that they have sold out, if they were selling out they would have released an album of an "in" kind of music e.g. emo-pop album like MCR.
But they didn't, they changed their sound and released a adventurous album that has surprisingly brought them a lot of success.
And if the oppurtunity came for an artist to appear on MTV and make a high-budget video, while still playing the music they love, who seriously wouldn't do it.

Warmness on the Soul. There are others that are emotional at times, but get heavier, such as All Things Will End and Shattered By Broken Dreams.

[Spiritofmosa]

nice.. i like depressing heavy songs

[mish_a7x]

i plan on going to see them when they play in the uk hopefully if i can buy tickets in time :cool:

You sadden me as a Metallica fan. Dream Theater are a great band, but no point in saying that, but I will post it anyway.

This forum seems oh so familiar though, just like Metallica. It's trading back and forth "This band Sold out" "No They didn't they changed their style".

[Spiritofmosa]

i find the unholy confessions video totally propaganda

[deathscreamingsheep]

Well they are a proud to be American band and they did all vote Bush. But quite frankly I couldn't care less about their political stance.

[UpperDecker]

Bush is our worst president EVER! If the band is still proud they voted for him they should all be roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris.

[Tillius]

I leave to see them this saturday.
/can't wait

[Moses]

Bush is our worst president EVER! If the band is still proud they voted for him they should all be roundhouse kicked by Chuck Norris.
I love anti-Bush bandwagoners.

If you knew anything about U.S. History you'd see that he's not the worst President. If Iraq becomes a success he'd probably go down in the top 20. I don't like him but I'm looking at it from a relative perspective.

Success? How on earth can Iraq become a success. 2,000 somethin dead over "weapons of mass destr. " that don't even exist yet we are still there, dying everyday making the world hate us more and more. If you think he's a good president your and idiot.

our 2000 is a good ratio to there hundred of thousands. and Iraq is a success because we are helping them build up a nation so stupid **** like 9/11 is less likely to happen. we are also getting something under the table for it. Bush is a great president and he has helped us out a lot to get us out of the crap Clinton put us in. Clinton is a great man and I like him but he was a ****ty president. weather you like someone or not shouldn't make you judge on how they do the job

also it's pretty funny how you think you understand politics there UpperDecker because if you were smart you would know that the Government would never tell you everything that's going on so how do you know if everything you have said is true? they could be covering up stuff that they don't want the public to know which is always the case. stop trying to make since out of something you know nothing about because the US would Bio Chemical weapon which are weapons of mass destruction

---edit---
It's a war and people die in wars. if you can't handle it then don't pay attention to it. if there families can't handle they new what could happen if they signed up for the army so they could get control over it

[deathscreamingsheep]

I don't agree with a lot of Bush's stuff, but that doesn't matter. I wouldn't go round my next door neighbours house and kick him because he's a conservative and I'm a liberal democrat. A7X don't have political music so the fact that they voted so and so shouldn't make you dislike them. Many thousands of people like John Lennon but "Imagine" is a communist anthem.

[Drunken Viking]

You guys releaize their is a politics forum, right.

[QUOTE] they could be covering up stuff that they don't want the public to know which is always the case. stop trying to make since out of something you know nothing about because the US would Bio Chemical weapon which are weapons of mass destruction[QUOTE]


Plus, a good president/government wouldn't kill thousands of their own people just to make up a reason to go to war (911).

[BLS_Infernus]

he didn't kill anyone...a plane did

[UpperDecker]

BLS ill make a thread in politics titled something like Bush/911 and we'll bitch there. I dont want to spam this thread anymore.

[i am the robots]

Success? How on earth can Iraq become a success. 2,000 somethin dead over "weapons of mass destr. " that don't even exist yet we are still there, dying everyday making the world hate us more and more. If you think he's a good president your and idiot.

Hey, remember that war in Europe in the 1910's? You know... they call it World War I? If I remember correctly over 6 million people died in that war, and you're right, only around 750,000 of them were American.... but you know, Iraq is the most horrible war in history...

You obviously don't know history, so shut the Hell up.

[Tillius]

he didn't kill anyone...a plane did
Bush set it up.



And...out of curiosity...is this still the Avenged Sevenfold thread?

The Iraq war was unjustified, there was no need for anyone to die, the scale of it is irrelevent.
Bush set it up.
That is complete and utter bull****.

So... back to the A7X discussion :smash:

I haven't been keeping up. How did we go from A7X to 9/11 in the first place?

[BLS_Infernus]

look at the top of the page

[nowitzki]

Because the band all voted for Bush.
Personally it doesn't bother me at all what their political beliefs are, they aren't a political band so I'll listen to them based on the music.

[Drunken Viking]

So yeah, any news of a DVD from them?

[deathscreamingsheep]

Dunno. But their Astoria show grows ever closer. It's gonna be sick.

[nowitzki]

So yeah, any news of a DVD from them?
There is going to be one for this tour. Apparently its going to be in vein of the Pantera DVD, with videos, live performances and backstage footage.

[Britton]

Sweet I can't wait!

I'm probably gonna make the trip up to austin to see them.

[guitarizzle]

AH! Just 32 more days 'till I see 'em live for the 3rd time. Can't wait! I hope they play something off of STST, Shads said that they MIGHT play some of the older stuff from STST on this upcoming tour...




whoa..I just realized you peeps have like a gazillion posts.

I would love to hear something from STST, would be interesting to see them do it without screaming as well. Unless they did To End the Rapture or Streets. I also heard they might be performing Sidewinder on this leg of the tour, which would also be interesting seeing as it needs 3 guitars for the outro... I wonder if Johnny/Matt would play one?

and the posts, you'll get there one day :thumb:

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Sidewinder would rule live.

[Bat_Country]

I wonder if Johnny/Matt would play one?


Matt has played guitar live before.
But only for one off performances at like awards ceremonies and stuff so it would be possible to play sidewinder live.

[andy-o24]

the only reason I quoted you was because I was'nt going to go through over two thousand posts to find someone who is obviosly obsesed with Bat Country! It's not that good of a song,I mean it's good but it's so over-rated you dont even know! There are so many people out there who like this song I mean yes it's good and all, but my point is way to many people think that Bat Country is A7X's only song, but it's not it's just one! And if you listened to the other ones you'd know that's not their best!!!

[andy-o24]

I have a question. Was it supposed to say Waking The Fallen, or, Waking The Forum?

[nowitzki]

:lol: don't worry, Bat_Country knows his A7X. Most people who post in this thread are familar with a lot of A7X's work (except for the idiots who come in here to flame).

And its supposed to be Waking the Forum, most of the official band threads have names like that (a pun on a song/album title).

[Bat_Country]

:lol: don't worry, Bat_Country knows his A7X.

Ah thank you
The names's Mike by the way :wave:

hahahahahahahahaha if you look at my join date you'll see i had this name before the city of evil album even came out because i heard Bat Country after someone on the A7X forums sent me a sneak preview of the album :cool:
I've beEn a fan of A7X since 2003 so i'm hardly likely tothink it's their only song :rolleyes:

Oh and the actual reason i came in here...

I'm gonna be totally biased and say you should by all three albums but i'll give you some highlights from each one.

Sounding the seventh trumpet

The art of subconcious (sp?) illusion
we come out at night
streets

Waking the fallen

Unholy confessions
eternal rest
Second Heartbeat
I won't see you tonight Part 1

City of Evil

Beast and the harlot
Strength of the world
burn it down

enjoy :thumb:

If you've got Bat Country I suggest getting City of Evil first before checking out the other two albums as they are very different. From City of Evil I recommend Beast and the Harlot, Wicked End, MIA, Sidewinder and Betrayed.

[Crysiss]

I have a question. Was it supposed to say Waking The Fallen, or, Waking The Forum?

One of their albums is called "waking the fallen", As for "waking the forum". I dunno....humour?
Thats like what they did with the pink floyd thread. "The dark side of the forum"

[Tillius]

So THAT'S why they did it. Mystery solved.


Anyway....concert this saturday. I can't wait to see them again. This week's gonna go by so slow just because I'm looking forward to it so much.

[Progrockin2112]

Ya, i'm so mad that they aren't coming to Tennessee!! I love A7X.

[Drunken Viking]

They proably already did, they are on part two of a massive world Tour.

[Tillius]

I had to miss their concert last time they came to Texas because of all that hurricane crap going on.

[I'm Charming]

You were MIA when that concert took place. :p


(not to make fun of the whole hurricain thing)

[Arucard]

I love anti-Bush bandwagoners.

If you knew anything about U.S. History you'd see that he's not the worst President. If Iraq becomes a success he'd probably go down in the top 20. I don't like him but I'm looking at it from a relative perspective.

Thank God, someone on these forums whos not an idiot.

Moses is completely right, people just bash Bush because Greenday told you too.

And all the people who hate Bush over Iraq have obviously forgotten that Vietnam happened.

Good advice. Defiantely pick up COE then WTF then STST

Lazy typer++

[mish_a7x]

Third'd

I'd say that COE is far more toned down but i guess that is down to the fact that Shadows cant scream properly.. Ive been listening to all the stuff again recently and im still rating WTF as the best album...then COE, i wasnt too impressed by STST tbh but ill give some of the songs another listen

[Arucard]

This advice is not meant in an offensive way, but if you are a fan of rawer and slightly less happy riffy stuff, you will probably like STST. Its a brilliant album, but not in a mainstream sense. The people who generally like CoE the best seem to dislike STST alot for some reason.

I think you have to gety used to their sound first before you buy STST. It was the 2nd album by them i bought and it initally took me by suprise at how raw it was.
COE tends to ease people to the A7X sound, Waking the Fallen is a little more erm... i don't know how to put this... erm... for the slightly more advanced A7X fan while STST you have to be really used to their style of music imo before you can really listen to it.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Nah Art of Subconcious Illusion was my first A7X song and that was after City of Evil came out. But I advised getting City of Evil because the guy above liked Bat Country.

[nowitzki]

Check it out, A7X from TRL yesterday.
http://www.youtube.com/w/a7x-preformance-on-trl?v=-ZA6A2fQMcc&search=beast%20harlot
They start their performance with the start of To End the Rapture!

wow, how ****ed does Shadows' voice sound when he's talking?
The performance however was amazing.

[Britton]

I'm gonna have to watch it a little later. I'm sure it was great though.

Anything new in here?

[deathscreamingsheep]

He does a pretty sick scream in Beast and the Harlot... maybe he'll chuck in a few more in the up and coming tour.

[Joe]

Ah first post in here. I'm not a huge fan, but I'll admit everything I've heard of theirs is really awesome. I really like the songs Chapter Four and Burn it Down, so which album do I get first?

Sweet. They've got a ton of talent in that band.

NP: Chapter Four

[nowitzki]

Which do you prefer of the two songs you mentioned? Waking the Fallen and City of Evil are both incredible albums, but very different. You can't go wrong with either though.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I almost bought WTF on Boxing day. I'm disapoited that I didn't because the Coheed & Cambria CD sucked major balls. I definately have to get it now. So what's this I hear about a new album this year or is it just a stupid rumor?

If there is any band that I cannot stand based on soley vocals, it's Coheed and Cambria. Ugh, the vocalist in that band is laughably high pitched. My group of friends use that band as a huge inside joke.

The more I listen to it, the more I enjoy it more and more. Seventh Trumpet is my favorite Avenged cd.

[Mambuto_O'Mally]

I don't mind his vocals. They're not as high as they have been on this CD. I bought it after hearing Welcome Home. That song is amazing, but it's too bad no other songs sound like it on the CD.

The first time I heard a song by Coheed and Cambria I thought it was Avril Lavigne or something.

The song Welcome Home is great, nothing else I've heard has really impressed me.

[Bat_Country]

I like 'suffering' by C&C
The video is trippy :/

[Tillius]

Well...I leave tomorrow morning to make the seven hour journey to the A7X concert tomorrow night. As I understand it, I should have some pretty good seats, so I'll try to sneak in a camera or something for you guys.

[Shadius]

I'm a little worried that Shadow's voice is getting more and more nasal and odd sounding. Judging from a few live performences i've seen. I was thinking it would go in the opposite direction. I hope he's not more nasal on the next CD, and he could loose the odd accents he occasionally puts on for brief sections. His voice sounds so raw live too, which I can't decide whether it's good or bad. He sounds alright in places though. (Before anyone starts, I like CoE and WTF about equally.)

Oh well.

What kind of pickups do zacky and syn use? I know they're Seymour Duncans, but which ones?

[mish_a7x]

[guitarizzle]

i was just trying to look for you on google, but i found nothing, have you tried their website, or on a fansite?

[Tillius]

Well, I leave in about an hour and a half to head to Corpus, and they'll be starting the concert at 7:00. AWESOME!!!

[Drunken Viking]

Sweet man have fun :thumb: . And about the question with the pickups, yeah they do both use Seymour Duncans, It says in the CoE booklet.

[Porcupine_F*cker]
