Avenged Sevenfold

[Drunken Viking]

Only thing I like about this band is their name.

For some reason you never struck me as the biblical type. ALso, don't argue with Mambuto, he is the illest nigga in this thread at the time (no offence to black people) hence the Peter Griffin avator.

You have to check out this video of Second Heartbeat on the warped tour: http://www.youtube.com/w/avengedsevenfold-second-heatbeat?v=hlUETBkhL6o&search=second%20heartbeat
its incredible, the best pre-CoE live footage I've seen.

[TemperamentalGoat]

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.

I like M. Shadows and all, but I think they really ought to find another vocalist. His voice was the biggest drag of COE, it's pretty much gone. Just compare the cleans on WTF, STST to COE. On STST it was very raw, undeveloped and weak but bearable. On WTF it's as if he took a quantum leap in vocal abilities - his cleans were great, and so were his screams. They could be smooth yet fierce at the same time. I liked City of Evil a lot otherwise for its sense of melody and it's good guitarwork but damn, he needs to think of something for his voice.

ah yes. I have it on DVD, its from the Warped Tour DVD

[Britton]

Is the warped tour a annual thing? like Ozzfest.

So I'm three songs away from knowing all of Waking the Fallen. I need some serius help on a couple of the solo's but otherwise it sounds awsome.

[TemperamentalGoat]

yes it's an annual thing every summer.

and dear Christ, avenged sevenfold is #1 on TRL now, beating ashlee simpson. In the current top 10, every other artist is either a rap star or a pop star. This has to be rigged.

haha that was cheesy.

[IAmAnAsshole]

This band is ok.

EDIT: Acctually listening to a bit more of their stuff i like them! The more i hear the more i like

[Joe]

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.

Chapter Four, hands down. And I bought Waking the Fallen today, it's absolutely amazing. They're one of the few good real metal mainstream bands these days that are actually metal. I really like these guys.

Question: Is City of Evil's vocals all like the ones in Burn it Down? I like the guitar work in that song but I don't really like the vocals.

and dear Christ, avenged sevenfold is #1 on TRL now, beating ashlee simpson. In the current top 10, every other artist is either a rap star or a pop star. This has to be rigged.

It's amazing to me how these guys are really revitalizing modern mainstream music. It shocked me when I saw them perform on TRL

[Drunken Viking]

To the question about the vocals, they are more nasaly on Burn It Down then most other tracks, but songs like Strength Of The World he gets really nasaly. BUt on most songs he doesn't get nasaly, he makes the vacals fit into the songs really well, like in MIA, the vocals fit perfectly.


On a different note, I recorded Chapter Four, I haven't had time to do the vox yet, but this is what i have so far. http://s41.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1BJ6JBC92MTPS3BFH65WHOP4JO
Oh, and on the solo I have no clue what is actually being played, so I kinda winged it, along with the bass on most of the song. I still have to do the bass on the verses, and to overdub a third guitar on the verses and post choruses, but I have most of the song done.

[Drunken Viking]

Any coments are appreciated, I'm sending it into the comp and I want it to be the best possible.

[Tillius]

Well, I just got back from Corpus Christi(concert was last night). Concert was awesome. Day of Contempt opened, followed by Bullets and Octane, and then CKY. Concert started at 7:30, and Avenged didn't get onstage until 10:30. Concert ended at midnight. It was incredible. The mosh pits rocked, and Matt did great with his vocals, along with the rest of the band doing great with their parts as well. If anybody else in here is going to a concert of theirs any time soon, prepare for a great time.

[Drunken Viking]

That's what happened when they came here, I didn't get there till about an hour after the concert started. I missed the oppening band but I saw Death by Stereo and Saosin, and the concert ended around midnight too. Did you take any pics?

I did this collage of M. Shadows in spare time, hope ya'lll like it.

Quite alot of the cleans on STST are out of tune, which is probably why he screamed most of the time.

As many people have said. The screams and cleans are at their peak.

Setlist?

[Tillius]

I didn't get to take pics. No camera.

Also, I got into a war with some dude when Johnny threw his pick out into the crowd. The dude elbowed me in the ribs and I went down, therefore, he got it. Also, a fat mexican dude got The Rev's stick, right next to me. :( Two unlucky incidences.

Setlist

1.Chapter 4
2.Burn it Down
3.The Beast and the Harlot
4.I Won't See you Tonight pt. 1
5.Strength of the World
6.To End the Rapture
7.Walk(Pantera)
8.Unholy Confessions
9.Bat Country

[mish_a7x]

good setlist then, glad you had a good time, i so want to go :(

[nowitzki]

Cool setlist, nice to see IWSYT1 and To End the Rapture. Seems like a pretty short set though.
And seriously, how many bands are going to cover Walk? I've seen at least 5 different bands cover it.

It did seem pretty short, but at the same time, it didn't. They were onstage for about an hour and a half or more. When they were coming on, they were playing the Beetle Juice song, and the whole show was kinda creepy. It was good though.

And, we all know A7X covers it the best.:p

[Drunken Viking]

They did that here, but they took 3 or 4 breaks inbetween a few songs when they were puting up new banners.

Argh... the ****er who bought tickets for Sevenfold didn't get me one despite me already having paid for it. Nobhead. The Astoria shows sold out now too.

[thickasabrick]

Hello everyone.

This is my first post in this thread actually...I only heard Avenged Sevenfold for the first time a couple weeks ago. One of my students (I'm a guitar teacher) asked to learn Sidewinder, so I've been listening to it and learning it and teaching it etc etc....but I don't actually have the song on my computer.

Due to a crappy computer, I can't download songs...does anyone think they could email me the album? Or maybe just the song? I would love you forever! Thanks in advance.

back_in_black256@hotmail.com

edit - And it's a pretty awesome song, by the way.

[Drunken Viking]

I'lll start uploading the CD for you, cause if you like Sidewinder you'll love the rest of the album.

Was 04 actually, but yeah, was awesome.

Apparently the support for the UK dates is Bullets & Octane... anyone ever heard of these?

I knew it was one of them :p
Both were kinda drunken blurs :(

I haven't heard of them. I might check out Myspace when i get home and see if they have a profile there and let you know.
I wish it was CKY though, like in America :upset:

[Tillius]

Bullets and Octane was one of the bands that opened up for the greatness of A7X. They put on one hell of a show. The only show better was, of course, A7X.

[Drunken Viking]

Was it just them?

[Squidtech]

IMO City of Evils is great but Doesn't really come even remotely close to STS or WTF. Nor will any future album since he blew his voice and this REALLY sucks. but i feel it's more than likely true

[Drunken Viking]

Can anyone sing any Avenged Sevenfold song? Cause for the comp I need help with Chapter Four, I can't sing worth a ****.

[I'm Charming]

haha. If I had a mic I'd give it a shot.

I can do "average, decent" clear but I have barely any range. I can do some good ( i guess) death vocals.

Your gonna have trouble finding someone who can nail the vocals right.

Because the clear and death vocals. Most can't do both, one or the other most of the time.


If I had a mic I'd give it a shot. :mad:

[Drunken Viking]

I might just submit an instrumental then.

[Britton]

I would give it a shot if my voice wasn't shot.

When is it due? maybe I'll be better by then.

[Drunken Viking]

Dought it, the comp ends on the 29th, I could ask Jom to extend the deadline though.

No don't do that, It's not really fair to other people. I would like to help you out
but my voice just isn't up to par (and it's not that special anyway)

Sorry

I recorded Darkness Surrounding while I was back home from uni over christmas, but then realised I couldn't sing it, I attempted and it sounded really bad.
The singer from my brothers band has good clean and screamed vocals, but its cutting it a bit late now.

[Drunken Viking]

It's no problem, I'll just submit an instrumental.

[I'm Charming]

It's no problem, I'll just submit an instrumental.

No offense but the vocals were realllly bad.

I wish I had a mic. I would have sang it for your cover.

[Drunken Viking]

I know, i've never sung before, first time.

[Britton]

I have to sing for my band at the moment. I can sing okay...I just don't have any range

[I'm Charming]

I know, i've never sung before, first time.



It would have helped sooo much if you didn't try to have that much range.

If you can't nail the range of a clear part. Just sing it in death vocals.

If you can scream/growl well. No one will care.

[Tillius]

I'm not a very good screamer, so couldn't do the A7X screams, and I don't have a mic. So, yeah.

[nowitzki]

You gotta be careful screaming A7X songs, don't wanna bust a vein...

[Tillius]

Troof.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I find that in the energy and aggression of a live show if something is out of your range you generally end up shouting it out anyway. Also, screaming to me has always just been about confidence: I knew the techniques like open-throat and push from your stomach and stuff from singing lessons I just needed the confidence to just bellow.

[Kristie]

Hey..

Yeah, so apparently for some unknown reason I am unable to post a new topic.. so those of you who LIKE Avenged Sevenfold, this is for you guys...



I own and run www.trashthestage.net (http://www.trashthestage.net)

I'm interviewing Avenged Sevenfold in the next few days.. I was just wondering if you guys had any questions for the band.

Those who have a questions they'd like answered, please send an email to kristie@trashthestage.net (mailto:kristie@trashthestage.net?subject=avengeds evenfold question)

*note* Feel free to send in as many as you'd like, but please keep in mind that not all questions will be chosen. Keep all questions in relevance to the band. Thank you!!

- Kristie

[i am the robots]

Well Kristie, you're unable to post new threads because you just joined, it's probably best though, since this is the official A7X thread, anybody who would want to know anything about A7X would go here, it would be pointless to make something new about A7X when we already have an 86 page thread for them.

[nowitzki]

Cool, I'll have to get thinking of some good questions...

[Drunken Viking]

Sweet, I've got some good questions, when will we be able to see the interview?

[Britton]

Yea and are you meeting them in person?

[Drunken Viking]

I saw your post in the Sevenfold thread on MX, and I have some questions.

1 - This one is for Shadows, when I saw you guys late last year in Colorado, on your vocals from City Of Evil you didn't sing like on the album, more of a deeper tone, not higher like on the original track, is this from being on the road so much and their has been stress on your vocals chords, or are you just trying something different?

2 - On your latest record City Of Evil, did you guys have an idea of what you wanted the album to be like? Or did you go into the studio having a slight idea, but not a plan for the album?

3 - On City Of Evil, was their a particular lyrical theme you guys were going for? Songs like MIA are about your friends experiences at war, while Bat Country was about Hunter S. Thompson, and Fear And Loathing in Las Vegas was the video theme.

4 - Your albums seem to all be very different, Sounding The Seventh Trumpet was metalcore, Waking the Fallen was straight Metal, and CIty Of Evil is really hard to classify, some people call it power metal, while some call it straight metal (yeah, I am slightly a genre nazi, but hey I'm jewish cut me some slack), when you were making those albums were your influences changing a lot, I know you guys still listened to '80s metal and stuff like that, but were you also being influenced by newer bands aswell?

5 - On Waking The Fallen and Sthere weren't as many leads as on City Of Evil, was this because of the new direction you were going for, or did you think that it fitted well with the theme of the record, or were you just trying to become more guitar oriented?

6 - On the your newest record City Of Evil the vocals are constantly double tracked and harmonized on every song, most notable MIA, have you ever considered letting any other members of the band sing on the record (even though they are not singers)?

Sincerely,
Viking/Jew
These are the questions I asked, hope the answer them.

[nowitzki]

You have to check out the media section on this site:
http://www.cityofevil.net/main.php
It has some early demos, an awesome alternate version of Second Heartbeat, and lots of videos.
This version of Second Heartbeat is awesome, Shadow's screams are killer, a lot higher pitched than the final version.

EDIT: Listening to the demo now, its pretty cool. Shadows only sings the clean parts, all the screaming is done by The Rev.

[Drunken Viking]

It sounds a lot faster.

[rockgod90]

Does anybody have a video of A7X live (preferably COE stuff)?

He still sounds bad. Listen to the damn audio. Just because he had medical problems doesn't make it sound any better.

It seems that saying "Good job, you're a winner!" is more of idiocy than saying "dude he sounds like crap" when he does, in fact, sound sub-par.

Guitar-work is ace, though.

[guitarizzle]

the new vid leaked...is it legal to post the link?

[Drunken Viking]

If it's youtube then I'd say yeah, but if you gonna upload it don't.

[TemperamentalGoat]

I've grown to like City of Evil quite a lot, it has some amazing songs. Strength of the World is a true epic worthy of following up "I Won't See you Tonight". Still, WTF was a better record because it was a more consistent effort. imo, COE had some real downturns.

I'd go against someone posting the video, it's not supposed to be released and it's not a finished product. But I'm guilty of watching it myself :smash:

[guitarizzle]

eh, I guess I won't post it then

[I'm Charming]

I added alot of respect for Synster Gates as a guitarist today..

I tried to play "Burn It Down"...That intro lead... I gave up after like 30 minutes...

Keep in mind... I can play, Slayer, CoB, Trivium, etc..
I used to play Arch Enemy stuff...

I'm working on, A Vulgar Picture by TBDM...

Anyone here able to play Burn It Down just like the band.. The leads and solo.

[nowitzki]

That is idiocy, that singing is really impressive for what he's went through with his trote.
I think that singing sounds really bad, but that is literally the only point on the album where he sounds like that, the rest of the time his voice sounds good.

[Synyster_Gates]

dude how can you use MIA as an example of bad singing???
it sounds wierd bc SG's parents did backup vocals in it
not bc M. "Cant sing"
if you dont like it fine just dont subject people to crap like that

Actually they did sing at the end of MIA, when everyone goes "WOOOAH WOOOAH" Syn's dad and mom took part in that part.


The parents sang? haha.

MIA is really good yet I don't listen to it much.

My favs off CoE are,

Burn It Down
Bat Country
Trashed and Scattered
Sidewinder
Betrayed

I'm finding that I like Sieze the Day more and more..

There's not a bad song on it though.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, CoE is pretty solid, but after listening to it nonstop for about a month it started to get annoying to me, I only listen to it to fall alsleep now.

[I'm Charming]

I listen to Damnation from Opeth to fall asleep too.

Thats a great cd.

[Drunken Viking]

What usually puts me to sleep is music that I know, know the lyrics (can understand them) and I know the guitars, not how to play the parts, but what comes next in the song, it's kinda hard to explain.

[guitarizzle]

What part, like what time.

At around 5:50

The parents sang? haha.

Beast and the Harlot

The Wicked End
Strength of the World
MIA

[Drunken Viking]

That's not the parents, thats a choir.

[nowitzki]

So how does the backing singing have any relation to Shodows sounding bad at the end of MIA?

Where in the credits? I am looking through the credits from the booklet and I don't see it, but I do see a choir listed.

[guitarizzle]

That's not the parents, thats a choir.

Yes, and Syn's dad and mom were part of it. Carneyman (Syn's dad) said it himself

http://carneyman.com/id15.html

It should be somewhere in there^^

[Britton]

So how does the backing singing have any relation to Shodows sounding bad at the end of MIA?

He sounds like a dieing animal at the end...

[Chilifanthatsme]

Top 3 off CoE its gotta be;
MIA
Strength of the World
Seize the Day

Great songs, especially MIA, i love the ending.

[xFEAR-AND-LOATHINGx]

Who thinks they should take up the offer to play Ozzfest?

[Britton]

Who thinks they should take up the offer to play Ozzfest?

Were they offered?

I don't see a problem with it.

[Drunken Viking]

They might not, they need a break from touring.

[Turkish]

Strength of the World is the best song on CoE IMO, with MIA and Betrayed in a close second.

[guitarizzle]

Have any of you heard or seen a live performance of "Darkness Surrounding"? The solo syn does at the end is badass

[Drunken Viking]

I have a video from '03 Waped Tour, it's pretty good.

[guitarizzle]

Yup, thats the one I'm talking about. I gots it on DVD :naughty:

[Drunken Viking]

Really, how? I have the whole set but I had to download it.

[Britton]

Have any of you heard or seen a live performance of "Darkness Surrounding"? The solo syn does at the end is badass


as are most of his solo's

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, I can't think of a single out of place or not noteworthy solo from him.

[I'm Charming]

Yeah, I can't think of a single out of place or not noteworthy solo from him.

Very true. Very true.

Very fast and tasty riffs/solos.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Hey have you all seen the video for Beast and the Harlot yet?

It's alright I suppose but both their videos so far have been band playing surrounded by poll dancers, you know the old standby.

[Synyster_Gates]

yea its pretty good
i like the scene w.zacky in it tho

[nowitzki]

Hey have you all seen the video for Beast and the Harlot yet?

Yep, the perfect formula for MTV

[Drunken Viking]

When I saw the making of it on MTV2 The Rev was like "Yep, half naked girls, seems to be the script for all of our videos".

[Britton]

When I saw the making of it on MTV2 The Rev was like "Yep, half naked girls, seems to be the script for all of our videos".


I guess I need to watch more of their videos....

[Tillius]

I saw the new video for the first time today. :)

[nowitzki]

^ :lol: great avatar, that old guy cracks me up.

[Tillius]

Do you people realize how freakin hot the harlot is in that video?

[nowitzki]

Very true. Although if thats what you want to see, pretty much every rap/r&b video on MTV will do the trick. Personally I don't think the video is that great.

[guitarizzle]

It sucks how they cut off some parts. They cut off the intro!:angry: That's the best part, it gets me so pumped...

[Tillius]

Very true. Although if thats what you want to see, pretty much every rap/r&b video on MTV will do the trick. Personally I don't think the video is that great.
True, but to see that in a rap video, I have to suffer through listening to the crap music, or be bothered by the fact that I have a song on mute.

And, I liked the video. Personally, I thought it was better than Bat Country, and I loved it when people started turning black.

[Britton]

Hmm...I just watched the new video...it's...intresting...

Hot chicks good music....I guess there really shouldn't be anything more...but for some reason it leaves more to be desired.

[Drunken Viking]

I wish they hadn't cut out the intro portion, I love that part. I saw the making of it a couple days ago, you know the part where the Harlot kisses that poll dancer, in it she makes out with her and it shows the whole thing. Awesome. :cool:

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I haven't seen the video but like you just said, the intro is awesome and deserves to be in the filmclip!

[Drunken Viking]

It was up on their website www.avengedsevenfold.com but it might not be anymore.

[Synyster_Gates]

all i have to say

is m.shadows

whhy do you do this to me??

[Negative Creep]

He got a grill as a way of making fun of rappers.

I'm sorry but you two need to either get a life or some pr0n. Watching music videos because there are hot chicks in it, is beyond pathetic.

haha no offense..just saying what's up.

[Tillius]

I'm sorry but you two need to either get a life or some pr0n. Watching music videos because there are hot chicks in it, is beyond pathetic.

haha no offense..just saying what's up.
I'm sure he doesn't watch the videos JUST for that. The women are just a bonus.
I mean, have you seen the harlot in the new video?:naughty:

[Saberpunk]

all i have to say

is m.shadows

why god

He actually doesn't wear a full grill, hes just got those cool canine fangs
Zacky on the other hand wears a diamond grill quite a bit

[Drunken Viking]

they're getting toooo emo now
No, that's their fans.

all i have to say

is m.shadows

why god

whhy do you do this to me??
Why does it matter?

[metalguy13]

personally i feel that this is a really good band musically but they need to lose that lame good charlotte sounding singer.

[Drunken Viking]

Their singer sounds nothing like the Good Charlotte singer, he has actual talent and doesn't sound like a pre-pubesent child.

[Saberpunk]

personally i feel that this is a really good band musically but they need to lose that lame good charlotte sounding singer.


:smash: <me
:mad: <you

[Aaron_Of_Oz]

I'll have a turn when your done

[xFEAR-AND-LOATHINGx]

saw A7X yesterday.....

greatest show i have ever been to

[nowitzki]

Sweet, what was the set like?

[Tillius]

saw A7X yesterday.....

greatest show i have ever been to
I enjoyed Strength of the World much better live. How bout you?

[Crysiss]

He got a grill as a way of making fun of rappers.


so true. so very true.

[Britton]

I enjoyed Strength of the World much better live. How bout you?


What if they didn't play it when he saw them?

I need to watch pron? hmm no thanks.

He did that to make fun of Rappers? that's gay

[Tillius]

What if they didn't play it when he saw them?

Answer to first statement:I'm sure they did. That's another one of their most popular songs off of their new album.
Answer to second statement:Do whatever you want.:p
Answer to third statement:No band is perfect. What shadows did was stupid. The sooner we admit that, the better.

[Drunken Viking]

I Think he looks funney.

I always wondered where you live, know I guess I still don't know. :lol:

[Tillius]

I Think he looks funney.

I always wondered where you live, know I guess I still don't know. :lol:
You talkin' to me?

[friscodude]

I personally love Avenged Sevenfold- mostly because of Synester Gates' shredding guitar solos and Rev's up to par drumming. Overall the band is full of talented musician's all around and I cant say one particular part sucks.

But to the one dude asking about Strength of the World....when I saw them they didnt play it :confused: I remember the setlist being: Chapter Four, Burn It Down, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country, Trashed and Scattered, Unholy Confessions and IWSYT Pt.1

[kamiccollo]

The bassist, is it me or do you hardly notice him at all?

[nowitzki]

The bass is very low in the mix on WTF, but theres some cool bass parts on CoE, like the intro to the Wicked End and towards the end of Blinded in Chains for example.

[kamiccollo]

Your right he does stand out more in CoE.

Answer to second statement:Do whatever you want.:p
Answer to third statement:No band is perfect. What shadows did was stupid. The sooner we admit that, the better.

We are in agreement :)

Yea the bass is much more active in COE it's cool to here it. You really don't hear bass in most stuff today. I guess it's because everyone seems to be tuning down.

[Tillius]

I might go see them again in April, for what they call a show that fans have only dreamed of. Longer, louder, and better.
Oh yeah.:cool:
Only problem is that Coheed and Cambria is gonna be with them. :(

[Drunken Viking]

I might see them, I hope that Coheed healines though, then I can leave early. :lol:

But yeah, I waas talking to you Tillius

[Satriucci]

Whats wrong with Coheed? i love welcome home, great song!, I hope they set up some concert dates in canada!

[Drunken Viking]

I really dislike them, Welcome home is decent but the guitarist needs to learn cooler pinch harmonics the ones in that song sound terrible.

[Tillius]

Whats wrong with Coheed? i love welcome home, great song!, I hope they set up some concert dates in canada!
What's wrong with them?
Let's see.
When I first heard one of their songs on the radio, I thought Madonna was singing.
Then, when I saw the video, I thought his guitarist had just kicked him in the balls.
Then I thought, he either has no balls, or they just haven't dropped yet.

[Drunken Viking]

He looks like a faggot, and for the record I like how in the video for Welcome Home he never touched the 12 string neck.

[The_Riddler]

Whats wrong with Coheed? i love welcome home, great song!, I hope they set up some concert dates in canada!

Horrible band, when I first saw their video, maybe a year and a half ago now, I thought the song/video was a huge joke. Only to be disappointed that the band was the next big rock band on MTV :(

[DillingerEscp]

I heard avenged sevenfold are not good guys, theyre assholes.

[mish_a7x]

I think Coheed have some good songs, but some just annoy the hell out of me.

I havent seen the new a7x video yet but i shall check it out now

[nowitzki]

I like some C&C I've heard, other songs I'm not so keen on. I'd definitely watch them though if they were playing with A7X.

[kamiccollo]

I like most of the latest Coheed album. Secrets of silent earth and the song right after it (forgotten the name) were the only good ones from the previous 2 albums.
Id definetly watch em both too.

[Arucard]

Coheed are truly wank. They call themselves 'progressive' because Welcome Home feautred some orchestral arrangements.

OMG. HOW COOL ARE THEY.

[Britton]

Coheed are truly wank. They call themselves 'progressive' because Welcome Home feautred some orchestral arrangements.

OMG. HOW COOL ARE THEY.


Did you get banned?

Cohhed are okay...I got the CD and I've only listened to it once. It all sounds the same after the first couple tracks.

[Arucard]

No, why?

[Britton]

No, why?

Just haven't seen you around (it's been nice)

Have you learned any new A7X?

[deathscreamingsheep]

Coheed are probably my favourite band along with Sevonfold. Unfortunately they aren't playing together in UK.

[Britton]

Coheed are probably my favourite band along with Sevonfold. Unfortunately they aren't playing together in UK.

That would prolly be a really good show.

I need to listen to Coheed some more...

[deathscreamingsheep]

Their story behind the albums is rather ridiculous though. Tenspeed, the evil possessed bicyle cometh...

[Arucard]

Just haven't seen you around (it's been nice)

Have you learned any new A7X?

been nice with me not around?

thanks :\

and no, i've been learning black dahlia murder songs.

[Britton]

been nice with me not around?

thanks :\

and no, i've been learning black dahlia murder songs.

I'm just playing around with you :)

BDM are cool. what songs have you been learning.

[mish_a7x]

My mates band played with Avenged Sevenfold at the last gig at the London Astoria.

[deathscreamingsheep]

Is that Exit Ten? They weren't too bad I suppose- but I don't really dig their style of music. Lots of the audience gave them a good reception though.

[kamiccollo]

My mates band played with Avenged Sevenfold at the last gig at the London Astoria.


My bro would probably go as far as murdering him, just to take his place. Take how much I like A7X and multiply that by a couple of thousand....

[Britton]

My mates band played with Avenged Sevenfold at the last gig at the London Astoria.


Awesome

this one guy I know was going to play with them here...but something happened to their drummer

[Drunken Viking]

Just ordered my tickets for their show on April 21, to bad its so long away. :(

[Tillius]

Just ordered my tickets for their show on April 21, to bad its so long away. :(
I just ordered mine for April 19th.:p You live in Texas?

[Drunken Viking]

Colorado actually, I'm guessing you live in Texas though.

[Tillius]

Indeed, I do. I just thought their show on the 21st was in Texas.

[asholle]

Yea the bass is much more active in COE it's cool to here it. You really don't hear bass in most stuff today. I guess it's because everyone seems to be tuning down.
also because much of today's production is shitty *** ****

[Drunken Viking]

What is the production like the producing bad, or the actual music.

[nowitzki]

How good the instruments sound, how well they all cut through in the mix, basically the overall sound quality.

[TemperamentalGoat]

You guys see this clip? This is sort of an "omg a harsh vocal" moment for me

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8QXXQyn34w&search=chapter%20four

I used to love this band so much that it's still hard for me to get over him no longer screaming. He lets out a bit of a shriek - just a tiny bit - right after when he yells "deceit" and it got me all excited. I saw them twice when he still screamed, and then I saw them live when he no longer did and it's totally not the same feeling.

But hearing this little tidbit does bring a little warmth to the ears... ahh, I wish he just shrieked the whole damn bridge, such an awesome song on the album.

[Drunken Viking]

Man, this thread dies like every other day.

[Twisted Demon]

Im going to see them on the 12th March in Manchester, anyone got any ideas how long set they are playing, what songs etc etc? Can't wait! :chug:

Anyone heard the supports, Bullets or/and Octane? What genre are they? Just curious :rolleyes:

[Drunken Viking]

Genre, their first album Metalcore, second metal, third metal bordering Power Metal, they'll be playing songs from all the albums proably. The set is proably going to be around an hour, hour and a half. Songs around the lines of Chapter Four, Unholy Confessions, Bat Country, Beast and the Harlot, Burn It Down, I Won't See You Tonight Part One, The Wicked End, Strength Of The World, To End Rapture, Second Heartbeat. I thinnk that they are proably touring with Bulets and Octane but I'm not sure, have fun at the show, it's on my birthday :) .

[Twisted Demon]

Sounding good :)

Cracking to see Second Heartbeat, IWSYT.

Would of liked to of seen Trashed and Scattered and Remenissions though :confused:

Can't wait for it - gonna be one hell of a night! It was the first gig in the UK to sell out I believe :p

[nowitzki]

Bullets and Octane are a hard rock band.
http://myspace.com/bulletsandoctane

I'm going to be at Nottingham on the 8th.

[UpperDecker]

Has anyone seen the video for Unholy Confessions? I downloaded it on Limewire last night and its pretty cool.

[Arucard]

I will be at Rock City too.

[The Feeding]

yeah, they're on the cover of Revolver....... and i hate them...

[deathscreamingsheep]

yeah, they're on the cover of Revolver....... and i hate them...

Does that have any relevance at all to this discussion?

[asholle]

Has anyone seen the video for Unholy Confessions? I downloaded it on Limewire last night and its pretty cool.
a better question would be, has anyone not seen that video?

[guitarizzle]

yeah, they're on the cover of Revolver....... and i hate them...

me too

[i am the robots]

yeah, they're on the cover of Revolver....... and i hate them...

That's great, we really care.

[Tillius]

Why do people who hate Avenged Sevenfold even bother coming into their thread?

[Britton]

So Tickets went on sale this morning they are 38 bucks plus all those extra charges.

[guitarizzle]

I was only kidding, I dont hate A7X. I'm actually quite obsessed with the music

Got my tix for the san diego show. it shall be kickass

[Tillius]

Check this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0m7rqrgDzE) out.

[The_Riddler]

I don't know what it is about this band, and no I don't hate them or I wouldn't have all their cd's. I just find it hard to actually listen to their cd's all the way through.

I will listen to a few of their songs and then it will start to get boring, and I will put in another heavy band because it reminds me of them, that seem to just have the better sound. Not to disrespect Avenged Sevenfold, but they always remind me of better metal bands to listen to while listening to them.

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is a great cd...

[deathscreamingsheep]

Check this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0m7rqrgDzE) out.

Too much free time I think is the phrase for that one.

I've been listening to this Bullets and Octane lot. They aren't great but they aren't too bad either and it's the sort of music that'll sound quite fun live.

[SimonCore]

They should announce some more UK dates, they're tuoring way too much in USA. Like they're doing another tour after the 5 UK dates with C+C! Come to UK with that one aswell!!

[nowitzki]

To be fair, the US is a whole lot bigger than the UK, and they are much more popular there. As long as they come back to play Download in June I'll be happy.

[guitarizzle]

a7x playing 'walk'

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rB6QLxfu0aA&search=avenged%20sevenfold


these are not my videos

[Drunken Viking]

Was it just me or did it seem like he was almost screaming during "Walk".

[guitarizzle]

Was it just me or did it seem like he was almost screaming during "Walk".

shadows did an amazing job of covering that song, as did the rest of the band.

[SimonCore]

I gotta say Trivium do the best cover of walk.

[Arucard]

Man, am i the only one who thinks Walk is a totally crap riffing song?

[SimonCore]

Man, am i the only one who thinks Walk is a totally crap riffing song?

Yes.

[The Feeding]

all A7X wants to do is become the next Guns & Roses!!! do an obscene amount of drugs, alcohol and incite riots all the while playing crappy music!

[The Feeding]

Man, am i the only one who thinks Walk is a totally crap riffing song?

I'M GOING TO MURDER YOUR HEAD IN!!! THERE IS NO BAND GREATER THAN PANTERA!!!

[SimonCore]

Have any of you heard or seen a live performance of "Darkness Surrounding"? The solo syn does at the end is badass

There's one on 'Youtube'. And google video's.<---not too sure about google. But it's the one filmed at the warped tour.

[SimonCore]

Sorry for double posting but how bigger venues do sevenfold play in US? In Uk they do the undergroundish ones eg Birmingham Carling Academy.

[guitarizzle]

I gotta say Trivium do the best cover of walk.

Do they play the solo?

all A7X wants to do is become the next Guns & Roses!!! do an obscene amount of drugs, alcohol and incite riots all the while playing crappy music!

Its called having a dream. Leave their dream alone and get a dream of your own, and work hard to reach it.
The problem most people have today is that they criticize others so much, maybe it makes them feel better about themselves. You might think that their dream is ridiculous, but guess what, they are accomplishing what they set out to do from the beginning. They are reaching their dream and becoming successful. So while you are talking crap, they are making big bucks.
Don't waste your time on criticizing and talking crap about others ambitions, instead turn that time into making YOUR dream a reality.

There, I'm done.

Plus most of what they actually do is just image/what they do to sound like rockers. There was this one article in Kerrang or something where the guitarist went on about drugs. Now, the words he used were so obviously sarcastic it was funny but sure enough next week there were loads of people complaining and stating that they now hate A7X because of what one of their members said in an interview.

In the end, wanting to be as big and successful as Guns and Roses isn't exactly a bad thing anyway.

[AA-12]

I'M GOING TO MURDER YOUR HEAD IN!!! THERE IS NO BAND GREATER THAN PANTERA!!!
Ugh, shut up.

[SimonCore]

In the end, wanting to be as big and successful as Guns and Roses isn't exactly a bad thing anyway.

But the only problem is, they want to be Guns 'n' Roses

[deathscreamingsheep]

But the only problem is, they want to be Guns 'n' Roses

How? Aside from the vocals the music doesn't resemble Guns 'n' Roses and admittedly they do like Guns 'n' Roses a lot and they're clearly a big influence but so what?

[SimonCore]

A7X are one of my favourite bands, but they wouldn't have been if i''d got into them after COE. Not because of the music COE provided, but purely because of M.Shadows' increasingly growing arrogance and denial.

[Drunken Viking]

Explain what you mean about his growing arrogance and denail. I have not read one interview in which he has seemed arrogant.

[nowitzki]

I really can't see why the personality of the singer would effect someone's enjoyment of music.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, the same peole who don't like them for stuff like are the same kids who hate bands for being "fashioncore" which by definition has nothing to do with the music.
