Avenged Sevenfold

[CityOfEvil]

:lol:

This was possible because I know he joined the band a little after they start. They release STST 2 times, the second with Syn in.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Wikipedia says :

"Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is Avenged Sevenfold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avenged_Sevenfold)'s first full-length album. It was originally released in 2001 on Good Life Recordings (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Good_Life_Recordings&action=edit), a Belgian record company. It was then re-issued in 2002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sounding_the_Seventh_Trumpet_Re-Release) by Hopeless Records (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopeless_Records)"

The 2nd release was probably just a promotional thing decided by the record label.

[AA-12]

"It's just going to be gritty," Shadows said of the new record. "We want it to be a cool record, not some polished crap just 'cause we've got a couple songs on the radio now. No one needs it to be like that. We're going to do the exact opposite."

That alone makes me happy :D

[CityOfEvil]

Maybe its because Im french but I dont understand :lol:

The opposite of what?

[AA-12]

Opposite of music all polished and radio friendly.

[CityOfEvil]

Ah thanks ;)

Well that sound good :D

Can't wait to the album be release. Im sure it will be good. Hope that Matt could have scream in it.

[DKMode]

ahhhhhhhhhhhh your french. it all makes sense now. should have guessed you were french canadian when it says your from montreal. didnt put it together though because when i went to montreal all french canadians were pricks to me cuz im westcoast (vancouver), and you didnt seem like a complete quebecois ****head.

and also about half way up the last page someone said syns dad played all acoustic guitar on CoE, but thats not true. he only plays the first half of the sidewinder solo, the second half is syn, and im pretty sure its syn at the end of MIA too - not positive but pretty sure.

and its mostly shadows in the WotS video because syn and JC werent in the band at that point. all lead was done by zacky on STST too.

[CityOfEvil]

Well now you got it ;)

For Syn's dad, I watch a video and they said, if I remember well, he's the one who play almost all acoustic part. It was in "made of Bat Country video".

Im not sure that they said that or just he makes some song. Well, if you can find it watch it.

[DKMode]

ya ive seen the video, but something in the back of my head tells me that i heard somewhere that the second half of sidewinder is syn. for some reason i think that brian haner sr did all acoustic work before CoE, but syn did alot of it on CoE. i could be very wrong though, and correct me if i am, but for some reason i remember hearing that somewhere

[SynGates]

Ok guys, I'll clear things up with Syn's dad....

He played:

End of "Blinded in Chains"

Middle and end of "Bat Country" (slow parts)

All acoustic on "Sieze the Day" and electric rythm

End of "Sidewinder" (rythm and FIRST solo) doesnt say anything about 2nd

All acoustic and pedal steel on "Strength of the World"

Vocal Backup on "MIA"

There you go. Don't believe me? www.carneyman.com/id15.html

[CityOfEvil]

Thanks man. Now we know what we want to know I think.

I thought he was doing like everything.

[Happy]

That's still pretty much everything but the 2nd solo on Sidewinder and MIA though?

[CityOfEvil]

:lol:

I think the only way to find it its to search. Because it seem that nobody know it.

But if on the site he doesnt say he play it maybe he doesnt play it.

[Happy]

And another thing, if he played acoustic and rhythm on Seize the day does that mean Zacky played none of it?

[CityOfEvil]

That would be surprising. Maybe they have 2 rhythm on this song.

But in the video we can see, when he's in jail all the band is behind him.. if I remember Zacky is there.

[Happy]

Yeah but syn's dad's not in the video and he played on it ;)

[CityOfEvil]

:lol: Im an idiot

But I dont think Zacky play nothing. I think we'll have to search

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Yeah but syn's dad's not in the video and he played on it ;)

Umm, miming it?

[Happy]

Umm, miming it?

I know, just CoE stated that he was in the video so probably played on it.

[CityOfEvil]

That's still pretty much everything but the 2nd solo on Sidewinder and MIA though?

I have a tab of Sidewinder. And I dont know if its what you are talking about but at the end, the acoustic part, Brian Haner does the first part and Syn the second.

[DKMode]

just to let you guys know, in bands where there are 2 guitar players, alot of the time only one of them will record on certain tracks. im sure there are quite a few songs where zacky plays nothing, and even some where zacky plays everything except the lead. if a guitar player writes something, its much easier for them to play everything than to try and teach someone else how it should sound.

and looks like i was right about sidewinder and MIA.............i woulda liked like quite the idiot if i wasnt. phew

[Happy]

haha don't worry, I've looked the idiot :)

[punknmetal4lyf]

Wow, it really sounds like they have refused to let their success threaten the quality of their music (to harp back to an old discussion). Pretty cool really. I hope they release another masterpeice.

[CityOfEvil]

I have no worry the next album will be excellent. I would like an album like a mix of WtF and CoE. Like some tracks scream and others not.

[AA-12]

^That'd be perfect.

[CityOfEvil]

Can Matt scream now of he still can't?

[AA-12]

He can probably, but I doubt he will.

[CityOfEvil]

Hope he will for at least one or two songs. I love when he screams :p

[SynGates]

I really highly doubt he will scream b/c even if he can, he will still never do it again live, and it would be poor to have to rewrite vocal lines and make the songs sound all different live.

I would like an album like a mix of WtF and CoE. Like some tracks scream and others not.
I actually thought about this, and I have to say, I wouldn't like some songs to be pure singing and some to be more screaming. If you think about it, if that is the case, then you will pick favorites way too much and some songs will stand out more than others. Whereas CoE and WtF followed the same vocal patterns throughout, and every single track from both albums blow you away. So I'd say, either screaming on most, if not all tracks, or no screaming at all.

[DKMode]

i dont think there will be any screaming, unless the song absolutely calls for it. i really could care less whether he screams or not, im pretty impartial to it, i just hope his voice has a little more power and is less nasally than on CoE.

[CityOfEvil]

Even if it was nasally it was good. Well, I like it.

But Im sure that with or without screaming the next album will be as good as the others.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

There might not be "screaming" but his still does that forced distorted shouts that sound really cool. It's still his chest voice but he's pushing to the top of his range and it starts to crack and he keeps it there. I love it.

[Tillius]

i dont think there will be any screaming, unless the song absolutely calls for it. i really could care less whether he screams or not, im pretty impartial to it, i just hope his voice has a little more power and is less nasally than on CoE.

This.

As long as his voice improves from CoE, I'm cool with the lack of screaming.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Avenged Sevenfold is good. Wait, no they aren't.

edit: I saw them at Ozzfest, and you know the feeling when you're watching someone perform and they're so bad that you're embarrassed for them? I felt that for their whole show.

[AA-12]

Um, leave.

[Tillius]

Avenged Sevenfold is good. Wait, no they aren't.

Ever seen anybody post so badly that you feel embarassed for them?

siq burn

[CityOfEvil]

Anyone ever listen to the song call "Walk".

I listened to it earlier today and, well its a great song but I remember reading something about it. Its not on an album they made it for something else but I can't remember what.

[AA-12]

Kerrang CD. It's not a bad cover.

[CityOfEvil]

Maybe Im wrong but it not seem that its Avenged style to make song like this even if it is really good.

[Tillius]

I don't think they have a particular style anymore.

They just do whatever the **** they want.

[DKMode]

are you ****ing kidding me? you know thats a pantera song right? holy ****, no kidding its not in their style, they didnt write it. woooooooooow that is unbelievable

[AA-12]

^Calm down, god damn.

[CityOfEvil]

:lol:

Yeah calm down.

I dont know for him but I didnt know that it was a Pantera song.

[AA-12]

Yeah, it's a Pantera song.

[CityOfEvil]

I never listened to Pantera. Is it similar to that song?

[AA-12]

http://youtube.com/watch?v=ONZ9bL2WGBE = Original

[CityOfEvil]

Thats good! I like it. Think Im gonna download some songs lol

[DKMode]

im blown away that you have never even heard a pantera song, let alone their most well known. sorry if i seem a little upset, but its kinda just mindblowing to have a person who listens metal and has never heard of pantera, and not to mention pantera is a7x's favorite band.

[CityOfEvil]

Well.. Its not been a year since I listen to metal. Its like my friends listen to it and I start to. So I dont know many things in this.. so sorry if that upset you..

I listen to new metal's band each so Im gonna know more and more.

[DKMode]

ya but usually when people start listening to metal, its slayer, pantera, maiden, or metallica that you hear first.

[CityOfEvil]

Well not for me I didnt start with that and I dont see a problem with that, and theres no problem. I dont think that change something..

[Luc214]

Me neither.

I started with Lamb Of God.

NP: Avenged Sevenfold - Sidewinder

[Tillius]

ya but usually when people start listening to metal, its slayer, pantera, maiden, or metallica that you hear first.

It could just be because Pantera is mediocre at best.

And Slayer, I just don't see the fascination in them. "Oooh. Oooh. We'll just put such a HUGE emphasis on how Satanic we are. Maybe that will draw attention away from our terrible music. Yeah." \m/

And Metallica, well, if somebody who was newly getting into metal started listening to Metallica's newer stuff....they're likely gonna get turned off because they're new stuff just blows.

Nothing against Maiden though. They're just amazing.

[i am the robots]

More like cool kids start with Insect Warfare and never progress.

[DKMode]

Nothing against Maiden though. They're just amazing.

i completely agree with your slayer comment. i cant stand them. i like pantera though, i know that metallica turned me on to metal, along with maiden (i got into pantera later). i guess now that theres some decent metal bands coming out younger kids start by listening to them. i guess im onlder than i thought, and im only 18

[i am the robots]

Slayer has some good songs, stfu.

Plus, new Slayer is a hell of a lot better than new A7X.

[Tillius]

Nonsense.

Christ Illusion is a terrible album.

Slayer does have a COUPLE good songs, but none of them come from that album.

[i am the robots]

Christ Illusion is terrible, but hardly anything can touch City Of Evil.

Seriously, the only album I've heard worse than City Of Evil (in metal) would be Sirens by It Dies Today. Blown out voices backed by pure cheese in music form does not sound appealing to me at all, sorry.

[Luc214]

I'm assuming you mean for terribleness.

I disagree, I like City Of Evil, not so much their other releases.

[i am the robots]

Well, die. Mr. I can't stand Korn.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Here we go again. :rolleyes:

[CityOfEvil]

lol

I love City of Evil. But I can't compare it to Slayer because I never heard some so..

[Tillius]

Meh, agree to disagree?(except for the comment about It Dies today. They blow.)

CoE has an incredible amount of talent that went into it. The guitar riffs in some parts were amazing, the drums went together perfectly with it, and while Matt's vocals got terribly annoying in some parts, they were amazing in others.
The Wicked end, for example.

Slayer has some great music, I'll give them that, but as soon as that annoying douche lead singer of theirs opens his mouth and "sings" into that microphone...I feel like slitting my wrists.

[i am the robots]

It Dies Today's old materials were ill. Sirens is just lol.

But vocals from Slayer > New A7X > New It Dies Today, sorry.

Here we go again. :rolleyes:

Children Of Bodom :rolleyes:

[CityOfEvil]

I admit that Matt's voice is not as good as WTF or STST but I love it even if it is not the same. And I find his voice is very good.

[Tillius]

Ugh.
The lead singer of Slayer is so monotone(if you can even say that because I don't think he has tone at all).
To call that singing is an insult to all even mediocore singers everywhere.

[i am the robots]

Yo son, don't make me enforce my opinion.

[Luc214]

Well, die. Mr. I can't stand Korn.

OMG KORN TEH SUXXORR.

[i am the robots]

OMFG I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL TORMENT THAT WENT INTO THE WRITING OF THEIR MUSIC DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO HATE.

[Tillius]

Your opinion sucks about as much as Slayer's vocals.:p

[Luc214]

OMFG I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!

JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE EMOTIONAL TORMENT THAT WENT INTO THE WRITING OF THEIR MUSIC DOESN'T MEAN YOU HAVE TO HATE.

:lol:

It Dies Today's old materials were ill. Sirens is just lol.

But vocals from Slayer > New A7X > New It Dies Today, sorry.



Children Of Bodom :rolleyes:

I like COB.

[CityOfEvil]

I like it too. Its good.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Children Of Bodom :rolleyes:

:lol: Haha you're so lame.

[DKMode]

whats wrong with CoB. i really like them. and i never said slayer sucks or anything, i just dont like them. i think that aside from dave lombardo, they arent terribly talented, and they are pretty sloppy musically too, even on record.

[AA-12]

Slayer > Everything ever. :)

[Luc214]

whats wrong with CoB. i really like them. and i never said slayer sucks or anything, i just dont like them. i think that aside from dave lombardo, they arent terribly talented, and they are pretty sloppy musically too, even on record.

They're really not very sloppy.

[i am the robots]

They are really boring and kind of not that good though.

:lol: Haha you're so lame.

Dude, no offense, but your username is "Hate Crew Deathroll."

[Cocaine]

Alexi Laiho rivals John Edward for the Biggest Douche in the Universe. Kerry King is not far behind.

[i am the robots]

You forgot every member of Slipknot.

[Cocaine]

They aren't people to me.

[i am the robots]

Oh yeah, right, Halloween decorations.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

They are really boring and kind of not that good though.



Dude, no offense, but your username is "Hate Crew Deathroll."

Dude, no offense, but you're getting more and more pathetic with each reply you post.

Trying to offend me by stating the fact that I like CoB is completely stupid when you were originally bitchin' about not liking CoE to some other guy.

"Oh, you like A7X's new album? Oh...well...well...stfu, you like CoB haha omfg lol haha".

Pretty sad dude. Especially since nothing you say can change my musical taste and unfortunately, I can't change yours or the fact that you exist either. Just give it a rest yeah?

[DKMode]

ya dude, give it a rest. dont make fun of other people for what they like, it only makes you seem ignorant and stupid.

That was great dude. I don't know the song too well but you definitely sounded like you knew what you were doing!! Good job. :chug:

[AA-12]

That was awesome, good job

[CityOfEvil]

Very good job.

This song is amazing I love it.

[CityOfEvil]

Want to know something. Red is the new black, is it a song like Walk. I mean, they take it from another band? Because it REALLY not hear like what they do, but not a little.

[Mikesn]

Red Is The New Black is a Funeral for a Friend song. As far as I'm aware of, it doesn't have anything to do with Avenged Sevenfold. Could be wrong though.

[Cocaine]

Someone should tell A7X that 'Reminission' isn't a word.

[CityOfEvil]

Red Is The New Black is a Funeral for a Friend song. As far as I'm aware of, it doesn't have anything to do with Avenged Sevenfold. Could be wrong though.

Well I think what I download is wrong. Because its not even Matt's voice. I really think youre right it doesnt have anything to do with them. But what I download is call : Avenged Sevenfold - Red is the new black so

[Happy]

Someone should tell A7X that 'Reminission' isn't a word.

Bands do that all the time though.


Well I think what I download is wrong. Because its not even Matt's voice. I really think youre right it doesnt have anything to do with them. But what I download is call : Avenged Sevenfold - Red is the new black so

It's by Funeral For A Friend, I have it.

[CityOfEvil]

Yeah I checked on the internet for that. But If you go on Google and write : Avenged Sevenfold Red is the new black.. well you have something. You can even have the lyrics and its write Avenged Sevenfold.. so thats why I was asking that.

[Mikesn]

Well I think what I download is wrong. Because its not even Matt's voice. I really think youre right it doesnt have anything to do with them. But what I download is call : Avenged Sevenfold - Red is the new black so
Hahaha, you're right. I downloaded the same song two years ago thinking it was an Avenged Sevenfold song.

[CityOfEvil]

:lol:

I have it for like 2 months maybe.. and I always thought it was A7X's song. But yesterday I send it to my friend and he said if I was sure it was on the album. So I checked and it wasnt.. 2 months thinking it was a Avenged's song. :mad:

[Tillius]

I did that too.
I downloaded that song thinking it was a new song from them and when I heard it I was confused.

[CityOfEvil]

I bought STST yesterday. Just listen the half of it because I didnt find the time to listen to it but this album is so good, well.. the first half lol

[BoboTheRagingHobo]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=403YwX5kigY

Pretty cool video of Synyster's Dad Brian Haner doing a stand-up routine sort of thing...

[CityOfEvil]

Yeah pretty cool. I like the end.

[Cocaine]

You ninja, I ninja.

[CityOfEvil]

Mmm okay..

Anyone like Shattered by broken dreams? It is one of my favorites song on STST. I love it.

[CityOfEvil]

I read somewhere.. dont remember where.. that A7X's DVD will be releases April 2007. Anyone know the exact date?

[Happy]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=403YwX5kigY

Pretty cool video of Synyster's Dad Brian Haner doing a stand-up routine sort of thing...
He has a wristband round the top of his fretboard like Syn.

What's that about?

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

He has a wristband round the top of his fretboard like Syn.

What's that about?

I didn't watch the video but usually when guitarists/bassists do that, it's to stop open strings ringing out. The guitarist/vocalist from Arsis uses one when he plays live and is arguably "bad" because you're not teaching yourself to mute properly.

I don't know if it's really that necessary for an acoustic though unless you suck pretty hard.

EDIT: oh ok :lol: He's not even using it like that. He just has it as a decoration, dno why though.

[Happy]

I thought that's what it was for.
But that's like cheating at guitar :|

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Yeah pretty much. But check my edit :p, he's not actually got it around the neck so I was mistaken.

That vid was pretty cool though, maybe he should take Syn off tour and teach him how to bend a note properly and then apply decent vibrato hehe.

[Happy]

Too much delay on that solo though.

[i am the robots]

I like his voice.

[DKMode]

i was in HMV today, and in the metal section they had a thing that said new avenged sevenfold CD, buy it May 1. im pretty sure it was meant to be the DVD though, so i guess May 1 is the date.

[Happy]

haha yeah but HMV always mislabels stuff.
Like +44 is labeled as Blink 182

[DKMode]

well i kinda thought that they would announce its release date before HMV had it advertised, so i was kinda thrown off too.

[CityOfEvil]

I bought Avenged's EP like 4 or 5 days ago. I thought that like one or two songs were different but they're the same as in STST. Its good though.

i was in HMV today, and in the metal section they had a thing that said new avenged sevenfold CD, buy it May 1. im pretty sure it was meant to be the DVD though, so i guess May 1 is the date.

Don't know where you live but here I saw the samething but like June 5.

[RIPkezia]

I don't know if anyone's seen a7x live or anything, but the seem like they kinda suck live based on youtube videos..... Love their cd's though.

[CityOfEvil]

I never saw them but I want to. The moment there in my city I go to thw show. I watched videos on youtube too but like the 3/4 of them are by a guy at the show.. its never good when its like that. I hope tour dates will be avalaible soon,

I love their Cd too. I have them all and there is not one I dont like. My favorite is Waking the Fallen. That one is amazing.

[RIPkezia]

Yea waking the fallen is deffinatly the best. That cd captures a lot of emotion for me... Yea i've see real like.... fuse and mtv videos of live a7x and it still seemed off. I saw one video where the bass was turned up WAY to loud, and johnny christ decided it was a good idea to slap the entire concert. It sounded so bad...... couldn't even hear the guitar. (he's not a very good bassist..... but the the rest of the band makes up for it)

[CityOfEvil]

Sounding the Seventh Trumpet is awesome too.

Well I look at the bass tabs and Johnny Christ is good IMO.
My favorite in the band is Syn no doubt about it. His solos are amazing I love them.

For the live thing.. all I saw is gay videos so I can't say its good or bad. But I love A7X too much to dislike them live or not loll

[RIPkezia]

True. You can't deny their studio music is amazing. I personally think both syn and the rev are amazing. I play bass, and i can tell you that most stuff johny christ does is fairly simple compared to other bassists. But then again, most metal bass lines are boring....

[CityOfEvil]

My friend play bass too and he find it hard.. but my friend sucks :lol:

Don't know if you play giutar too but I do and Syn's stuff is not always easy.. solos are like too much for me. Im like :eek: how can he do that?!
Except solos I can play the much of it.

[RIPkezia]

Yea, I don't play much guitar (chords arn't my thing) but I can spot a good guitarist when I see one. My band's singer/guitarist refuses to play metal though, so I don't play a7x that much anymore though.

[CityOfEvil]

In mine the bassist can't learn a song by heart.. he always need the computer so.. I play A7X when Im alone. When we play all together we play our songs that are not so bad for young guys like us. :lol:

But songs I play are like more than the 3/4 from A7X. Its not been a year since I play guitar so I learned with them :p

[CityOfEvil]

Hey guys. Anyone has the tabs for Shattered by broken dreams. I wanna play it for a long time but never found the damn tab.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Tab it yourself?

[CityOfEvil]

Lol I can't do that. Im not good enough to play it without the tab.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

http://www.sendspace.com/file/ahlowl

[CityOfEvil]

Do I have to register on that?

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

No.

[CityOfEvil]

Oh I see. The first time I opened it nothing appeared. But now it's okay.

Thanks

[i am the robots]

Yay asking for good A7X tabs.

[Arucard]

lol i started this thread

/win

[i am the robots]

Holy shi, Joe posted yesterday?

[CityOfEvil]

Is the DVD out yet? I think it was like June 5th, but I'm really not sure.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

So...did you learn that song then or what? :D

[Spiritofmosa]

ooh these guys are coming to singapore.

[CityOfEvil]

So...did you learn that song then or what? :D

Well, there's just the acoustic part at the beginning on what you gave me so, no I didn't. :p

ooh these guys are coming to singapore.

When?

[Spiritofmosa]

Well, there's just the acoustic part at the beginning on what you gave me so, no I didn't. :p



When?


9th august
!

[CityOfEvil]

Is it their show or they're like the first part of another band's show?

[Odin88]

i heard these guys are just a huge at the gates rip off,i've never heard em is it true? i could easily see it though.

[AA-12]

They are nothing like At The Gates.

[Odin88]

i just heard that they play off the same riffing style as ATG again not my words im just curious

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Ehhhh, not at all.

[VomitStainedCretin]

Tbh ATG sound nothing like 90% of the bands people say they do. They're pretty much blamed for half the sh1tty metalcore bands around when the music only has minor similarities most of the time.

[Odin88]

Tbh ATG sound nothing like 90% of the bands people say they do. They're pretty much blamed for half the sh1tty metalcore bands around when the music only has minor similarities most of the time.

yeah they do take a lot of ****, but in a way they deserve it after dealing with bands like the haunted, cradle and that distiller-esque punk band adrian is in with his wife.

[SimonCore]

So when's the next A7X album out? They've cancelled how many tours because they've been 'working on it'!!

[CityOfEvil]

It'll get out at the Halloween. December 31th.

Can't wait to it.

Don't know how many shows they canceled, it was the UK tour I think.

[AA-12]

Halloween isn't December 31st...

[i am the robots]

Josh...

http://www.myspace.com/thewasteland

Listen to Marching As To War

[AA-12]

Pretty good. Reminds me of a heavier + more metal Dag Nasty.

[i am the robots]

Metal...?

Anyhow, I'm really digging this, I need to get my hands on that record.

[AA-12]

Heavier/More Aggressive

[i am the robots]

Oh, word. Not really sure on the comparison, but I'll allow it?

I'm just really keen on the vocals. Plus, melodic hardcore is win.

[CityOfEvil]

Halloween isn't December 31st...

:lol:

Sorry I was thinking about something else. October 31st loll.

[Tillius]

Avenged Sevenfold isn't doing it for me like they used to.

I still love them and all, I just wish they'd hurry up and come out with some new stuff.
And the DVD.

[CityOfEvil]

Well, for the DVD it's less then two weeks. Can't wait to it. I'm impatient to hear their new stuff. It will be good I have no doubt about it, but I want it to be more like WTF then CoE even if it's really good.

[CityOfEvil]

Who has the album? How do you find it? I really like it. They did a good job for that.

[Mikesn]

Wait you mean the DVD right?

[CityOfEvil]

:lol: Sorry yes. I said album, but I was talking about the DVD.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

What exactly is on it?

[CityOfEvil]

A documentary, 5 live perfomances, 4 music videos and.. thats it. I like it, like most of A7X stuff.

[illpressureurhinges1]

is it worth buying?

[CityOfEvil]

Well it depends. If you really want to know their story yes if not, no cause the biggest part of it is the documentary so. The music videos you can see that where you want and the live part is great.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

5 live performances eh? All complete?

[Cocaine]

5 sets or 5 songs? either seems pointless, but still.

[CityOfEvil]

5 songs all complete.

[Cocaine]

5 songs all complete.

oh wow that's pretty lame.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

[CityOfEvil]

For those who heared Critical Acclaim. Do you like The Rev singing the Chorus?

More than shadows. I can't stand his voice anymore, and the Rev singing it reminds me of Pinkly Smooth, which is cool.

[SugarCoatedSour]

Horrible band, just plain terrible.

[CityOfEvil]

More than shadows. I can't stand his voice anymore, and the Rev singing it reminds me of Pinkly Smooth, which is cool.

I like it too, but I really like Shadows' voice. I think The Rev should sing more often. Not each song, but 2, 3 or 4. I really like it.

WOW THEYVE GOTTEN GAYER

Though, The Rev's voice is awesome actually, the chorus is the only good part of that song.

EDIT:

Seriously, I feel like that chorus is wasted in such a terrible song

Yeah, he's alright. Check out Pinkly Smooth if you haven't already, considering you seem like a big fan of the band.

I think it's just Shadows that sucks. The rest of the songs not terrible, but I just can't stand listening to his voice, especially during that little rant thing. It single handedly killed the song, the rest was just overkill.

why would you rapidshare it, sendspace fool, sendspace

[CityOfEvil]

Yeah, he's alright. Check out Pinkly Smooth if you haven't already, considering you seem like a big fan of the band.

Ok I'll check it out.

I love Shadows' voice and I really love the song. There's not a part in the song I don't like.

Edit : Hey, anyone has a like for Pinkly Smooth official website or something on them. I found nothing.

It's the Rev and Syns side project. The Rev sings and plays drums/piano, and Syn plays guitar. It's a lot different than A7x, but they're still ok. Also, the Mr. Bungle influence is almost overwhelming, so don't expect straightforward rock/metalcore whatever.

[CityOfEvil]

Ok :p

Thanks for the link.

Yeah it's different than A7X, but I like it. There are two songs that don't play.

[ekajsk8er]

Yeah, but if you search pinkly smooth in the myspace search thing again, there is another site with one of their better songs on it (McFly).

[subsonic]

I acn't wait for A7X's new album to flop like a fish out of water and sink like a cement booted Mob victim. They just ripoff style, dress it in different clothes and try to appeal to metalheads but only ensnare the "emo-metalcore" fags.:smash:

I didn't even upload it. And yeah, you're welcome. :rolleyes:

[i am the robots]

I refuse to download it because it's no goooooooods. imo

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Okay...

[i am the robots]

You like cheesy music though, not to be insulting, so I can understand if it's your thing.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

Wow, didn't expect that. :rolleyes:

And for the record, I watched 60% of it and it bored me. It's just a documentary about their lives from the start, no live footage. Just thought some A7X fans might appreciate it, not get trolled by some loser emo kid like you.

[pleetf]

what's happenning to A7X dudeess.. they came over to debut their newest single almost easy and i must say that its horrendously poor compared to their earlier tracks.. its almost like they're embracing the whole emo thing..

and you know what's worse.. when interviewed by a local pop mag, they said "i dont understand why metal kids want others to appreciate the music they listen to, yet when the band they support gets famous, they condemn them" sorry to say A7X.. you lost a good chunk of respect there..

[Happy]

Critical Acclaim is awful.
I hope the other stuff is better.

[pleetf]

Critical Acclaim is awful.

unfortunately it is quite evident that this message isnt quite conveyed to or is completely ignored by the band :(

[Shadius]

to be fair, that happens a lot.

oh, and theres nothing emo abut their single? wtf

i mean, its not very good, but it's got nothing in common with emo.

[Happy]

I really hate the ranting bit in it.

[The_Organizm]

I must be completely missing something, I like the new single... It sounds like them to me and could have easily come off their last album. :confused:

[pleetf]

there is just that tad of whiny-ness since they City of Evil album that completely sucks.. shadows is starting to sound like he should join hinder

[Happy]

I must be completely missing something, I like the new single... It sounds like them to me and could have easily come off their last album. :confused:

To me it sounds like a song that was in the style of the last album but not good enough to be on it.

[pleetf]

To me it sounds like a song that was in the style of the last album but not good enough to be on it.

i dont even think that city of evil is in the mould of A7X.. it sounded.. well.. different from their other albums (Critical Acclaim excluded)

[Tillius]

Critical Acclaim is a good song except for when he starts doing his little rant, as pointed out above.

And I don't see why A7X would've lost anybody's respect from that statement when it's the absolute truth.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I love Critical Acclaim is awesome....of course the ranting section is kinda lame,but thats only due to the lyrical content.One of their stronger songs IMO.

[i am the robots]

I dunno, I think I'd consider something that actually sounds good like Unholy Confessions or ...And All Things Will End one of their "stronger" songs.

IDK that's just me.

Wow, didn't expect that. :rolleyes:

And for the record, I watched 60% of it and it bored me. It's just a d0cumentary about their lives from the start, no live footage. Just thought some A7X fans might appreciate it, not get trolled by some loser emo kid like you.

lawl

[CityOfEvil]

Maybe Im the only one, but I find the ranting section good. I like it, it's not what they do usually and I think it's really good in that song.

Anyone listened to Almost Easy? It's not on Myspace you have to download it. This one is great too. It's a really good start for the album :p

[Happy]

Download it as in pay for it?
If so, upload it please.

[CityOfEvil]

Well I dont know my friend told me he got it on ITunes and just send me it so.. and I don't know how to upload lol.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

I dunno, I think I'd consider something that actually sounds good like Unholy Confessions or ...And All Things Will End one of their "stronger" songs.

lawl

Well they are allowed to have more than 2 strong songs are they not?And anyways, Unholy Confessions is highly overrated.

[XSebbyMcMuffinX]

Biggest pet peeve: When a band that could be really good just completely screws up. This band would be one of my favorites if they changed three things: Vocals (the style or the vocalist, either or), appearance, ego. It's so little but it's done so much.
I'm confident that the album rating for City of Evil would be at least a half-point higher w/ these changed.

[CatfishJones]

Wow, didn't expect that. :rolleyes:

i'll second that lawl.

[Tillius]

Okay, Almost Easy is a very good song.

So far, the album already seems much better than CoE. If it keeps up this way, it will blow CoE straight out of the water.

[CityOfEvil]

I'm almost sure it'll be better then CoE. But I don't understand there's so many people saying that CoE is bad and all. Jeez it's really good. All songs are great especially Betrayed. Anyways.. Avenged Sevenfold will be a really great album no doubt.

[Hate Crew Deathroll]

COE is awesome. Everyone saying they're sh!tty metalcore with WTF and then they're sh!tty emo-pop with COE. Maybe it sounds like pop when you compare it with the grindcore bullshit that some people listen to but it sure as hell isn't sh!tty.

[Tillius]

CoE is by no means awful. I enjoy it quite a bit.
I just think it fails in comparison with the others.

[i am the robots]

Two reasons its awful:
1. I've heard a lot of the riffs other places, and none of them are very good
2. Matt's voice is weaker than weak.

[Shattered_Future]

That, and the drum triggers annoy the living hell out of me. That album must have the worst drum tone I've ever heard.

[DerMond]

Persoanlly, i think CoE isn't only a good disc, but it's their only good disc.

Matt's vocals jsut take getting used to, and the drum tone never bothered me. what annoyance his nasal tone gave me was outdone by the Danny Elfman style breakdown on The Wicked End. Sidewinder's brillaintly twisty-turny, especially that lovable flaminco solo, and Strength Of The World's just great retro metal (with a decent storyline, no less!).

i mean, it's no masterpiece, but it's better than the other 2.

[i am the robots]

Meh, metalcore A7X = the only good A7X in my opinion.

Listen to The Art Of Subconscious Illusion on repeat kthx.

[DerMond]

I'd prefer to never listen to any metalcore ever again, thanks. I'll take my Iron Maiden EP's, thanks. even if their new work's just a pale imitation of better, older music, i'd take something cool and derivative over something dumb and original. come to think of it their metalcore stuff was always pretty derivative.

[i am the robots]

A lot of metalcore is very derivative, but there's A LOT of great metalcore. Examples: Converge, Skycamefalling, Aftershock, Botch, Overcast, This Runs Through, Dead Man In Reno, Integrity, Fjord, Kiss It Goodbye, etc.

[DerMond]

we'll have to disagree, metalcore's a step down from nu metal, to me.

[i am the robots]

:lol:

You like City Of Evil, I'm not even gonna bother.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

What the **** is so bad about COE? Yeah theres a few crappy songs and his vocals can get annoying but at least they tried something new.Plus,songs like Sidewinder,The Wicked End,Trashed and Scattered are easily up there with their best songs.

[i am the robots]

Unoriginal
Wanky
Bad drum tone
Horrible vocal tone
Cheesy
Poorly written

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Poorly written? What kind of example is that? Theres not that big of a problem with the drum tone. Wanky? Please explain. I thought it was fairly original to be honest...but ill give you the vocal tone one lol.

[i am the robots]

If by fairl original you meant, "packed full of every generic '80s' sounding riff possible," then I completely agree.

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Looks like we don't agree then.And seriously....whats the deal with this forum and the use of the term 'generic'? I swear every single band on the face of the planet is considered generic here.

[i am the robots]

People call generic **** generic.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Unoriginal
Wanky

Poorly written

That really isn't true at all. There's some cool stuff on City of Evil, theres actually one guitar solo that I'd say is just as good as any other guitar solo I've ever heard...so there obviously is some decently written stuff on this album.

The main reason I bought this album, and then after two months threw it in the snow at tried to break it by throwing tires at it was because in my opinion its whiny, cheesy, and limp wristed metal.

Avenged Sevenfold to me are easily comparable to The Backstreet boys Musically. The Backstreet Boys have really good, well written songs, that appeal to many people, and I used to like a lot of their songs when I was 12 years old. I probably would sing a long to their songs if I heard them on the radio, but I can't get ANYTHING out of their music nowadays that sticks with me.

Im not saying AX7 sounds like the backstreet boys, Im saying on my musical journey I like both these bands for a brief period, and then realized they do nothing for me, and moved on.

[i am the robots]

The solos are just wanky, not well written. Now In Flames has good solos.

[Interviewer/surveyer]

Looks like we don't agree then.And seriously....whats the deal with this forum and the use of the term 'generic'? I swear every single band on the face of the planet is considered generic here.

I use the term generic when I talk about bands because probably 95% of all bands are generic. Generic when applied to musical terms for me means bands that do not have any defining characteristics. Just because a band is generic doesn't necessarily mean they suck.

For example, Unearth is a VERY generic band, but I think they rock.

Opeth, Tool, Mastodon, and The Minutemen are all examples of bands that have defining characteristics about them, that make them easily identifiable.

Being Unique can be bad also. For example, both Dave Mustaine and Randy Blythe have very unique sounding vocals, but some people cannot stand these vocalists.

[SuperID]

Does anybody here like Avenged Sevenfold?

[i am the robots]

I love their old material.

[CityOfEvil]

I love them. Old new, what people call cheesy and all. I think Im the only one, but that's not a problem. lol

[SuperID]

Hey man, that's terrible. When did you find out?

[CityOfEvil]

Find out what? I am the only one here that really like them?

[PeEpHoLe_10]

Thats my point....people use the term Generic to put down a band when there are tones of good generic bands.I could make a song that went for 45 minutes and consisted of me hitting a trash can with a stick,and that wouldnt be very generic....but id sure as **** rather listen to COE than that.

[i am the robots]

I use generic to describe things as commercialized and emotionless.

[Tillius]

Does anybody here like Avenged Sevenfold?

:lol:

[RunAmokRampant]

After the singers stupid comments about dillinger last year I think (or maybe the year before), I never really bothered with them masquerading about with their fashion labels and goofy names etc.

[ekajsk8er]

Anyone hear their newest song out?

Pure, ****.

[illpressureurhinges1]

they used to be awesome. then they came out with City of Evil and kinda went down the drain. the new stuff isnt that good.

[Tillius]

What's everybody got against the new song?
I think it's much better than most of the stuff from CoE, same with Critical Acclaim.

[i am the robots]

the vocals on their demo are weird

[Tillius]

Anybody hear Gunslinger yet?

Decent, but the worse of the new album so far.

[i am the robots]

everything ive heard has just been 'woo southern trend yeah!' and then shadows starts singing 'voice crack!'

[CityOfEvil]

Anybody hear Gunslinger yet?

Decent, but the worse of the new album so far.

Link?

[Ghostfire]

I just saw a video on youtube that a friend sent me with sound clips from all the songs on the new album, and I gotta say... at first I was gonna buy it and try it out, but now I'm pretty sure I'm just going to walk past it at the store and laugh sadly to myself.

[Riziger]

haven't heard anything yet from the new album except for a live video of the new song they played in singapore and tbh, i didn't really like it, sounded a tad boring.

could be the video quality also. i'm still gonna buy the new album regardless.

when's it dropping?

[Happy]

30th October.
They have the studio versions on youtube too.

yep

[Dimmu Burger]

I enjoy their older stuff, but not City Of Evil all that much. The new song sounds promising to me, the one with the video on headbangers ball.

[Riziger]

i enjoy their older stuff as well, but i think city of evil was a nice change.

i'll still buy their new album.

avenged sevenfold is ****
