Avenged Sevenfold

[i am the robots]

About Trevor saying the WTF riffs are Power Metal esque, that works for some songs, but what about Reminissions? That sounds more Melodeath, Desecrate Through Reverence is more Doomy, and then ...And All Things Will end is definately more thrashy than the rest... the only truly Power Metal esque guitarwork on that album is Second Heartbeat IMO.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So then if they have influences from basically ever metal subgenre, why not call them heavy metal? Goddamn you guys are picky. :rolleyes:

[i am the robots]

Heavy Metal would be something like Judas Priest or Maiden, something more along the lines of General Metal would work better IMO.

But STST and WTF were also Hardcore influenced (STST to a much greater degree).

EDIT: muahaha, you cannot escape my labeling Jake!!1

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Sorry. :p I just wanted my questions answered. :lol:

So I downloaded a powertab for Unholy Confessions. The intro riff has to be one of the coolest riffs ever. Wicked fun to play.

[i am the robots]

word son! and yeah, Unholy Confessions = good, though for a while I was sick of it.

[Moses]

About Bat Country- Same here. Most of it is cake, but the solo is quite tricky at times. :-/

Does their drummer use a bass trigger by any chance? There are certain segments that would lead me to beleive so, so that's why I'm asking.
:confused: Jake I had no idea that you liked A7X.

[Britton]

Sorry. :p I just wanted my questions answered. :lol:

It'a awsome. I have a great lead guitarist...but he can't keep any sorta time on that song...it gets rather annoying

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

:confused: Jake I had no idea that you liked A7X.

New found obsession, so to speak. I but COE last Saturday, so there's the reason you didn't know. :p

Mx more.

[The_Riddler]

Wow, it's odd coming into this thread when every post I pretty much see is 'This band is (this) type of music" ... "No, They are (This) type of music".

It doesn't even matter much, just say "This is good metal music" it doesn't matter if it's death/thrash/hardcore/black/industrial/pop metal, just leave it METAL, instead of debating everything about genre's :p.

Quoted for truth

[nowitzki]

Genres are useful though, for finding other bands you might like.

Wtf man, get yourself a better lead guitarist lol no offence or anything but i can play that intro and im a bass player though i did start guitar first but still.

I've just learned 'The Wicked End' on bass :cool:

[loathed]

ahhhh, theres a really good bass riff at the beginning of that song...

[i am the robots]

You know what Avenged Sevenfold song has sweet bass? Lips of Deceit.... bitches.

[Shred Danson]

Erm, we were talking about Trivium :rolleyes:

Oh, I'm sorry, seeing how this was an A7X Discussion thread I thought we were talking about AVENGED SEVENFOLD.

word son! and yeah, Unholy Confessions = good, though for a while I was sick of it.

Yeah I think a lot of people got sick of it.

Ninja Edit: why the sam hell did I capitalize 7 ??? :lol:

You are right...

:thumb:

[sol]

the basslines are pretty good but it seems that when you compare them to the guitar parts they just seem lacking. this isnt a bash, I love A7X, I just think their guitarists are ahead of their bassist

[Britton]

When I first started listening to A7X I had a hard time hearing the Bass
lines. Now hey just jump out at me and I'm like wow that was cool

[tamango salad]

becuase their old stuff had a ****ty setup

now in the studio johny used gallien kreugers

[Britton]

I like STST but I love WTF and COE

they sound so much better now

[i am the robots]

becuase their old stuff had a ****ty setup

now in the studio johny used gallien kreugers

That's not the major reason, Martin Mendez from Opeth uses a Squire and you can hear him fine, it's actually just because they had crappy production on STST.

[Tillius]

Bat Country, you're the second one who has taken my damn avatar.

LoL They like you're style

[Tillius]

MY style.

[Metal_head45]

lol thief

[Britton]

I've been listening to WTF alot lately my favorite song is still Unholy
Confessions. But now the album is really grow on me. I've liked alot
of the individual songs...but as a album it seems very strong...I don't
know how to say it

[The_Riddler]

Genres are useful though, for finding other bands you might like.

Allthough true, you guys shouldn't debate on it so much. I swear everytime I entered this topic, I wanted to hear something interesting rather than what genre everyone thought they should be placed in. For me, I just say it's metal with a screaming vocalist....but don't disagree with me because I don't want to debate that with everyone.

Anyway, I have been getting more and more into them, which album would be the best to buy first? I think my cd store only has City of Evil, which I didn't care to much for. Any recommendations?

[loathed]

get WTF first, if youre new to them, and wanna get into them. basically...

if youre a metalcore fan, get sounding the seventh trumpet
if youre a ...err well basically metal fan, get waking the fallen
if you like power metal, get COE

but i'd highly recommend getting WTF first...

[Bat_Country]

Bat Country, you're the second one who has taken my damn avatar.

No World_Ablaze is my second account but it got banned. :p
And if you like it so much you shouldn't have changed it.

Second Heartbeat > rest of WTF.

It's my favourite A7X song period.

[Arucard]

Eternal Rest > the rest of WTF.

Anyway, heres a link to a 6 song set my band did, i couldn't seperate it so if you wanna hear us cover Unholy Confessions your gonna have to watch/download the whole thing. Sorry. Its a good gig though, and you might like my band.

That's cool. I'll download it when i get home :)

[Arucard]

Awesome. I didn't know the lyrics properly, so i just shout garble in the second verse :p

[nowitzki]

Is your bass player alive? I swear he doesn't move during the whole set.

[Arucard]

No, he doesn't. I am alive though :)

Have you watched the whole thing yet?

[Bat_Country]

Awesome. I didn't know the lyrics properly, so i just shout garble in the second verse :p



Nothing will last in this life,
our time is spent constructing,
now you're perfecting a world... meant to sin.
Constrict your hands around me,
squeeze till I cannot breathe,
this air tastes dead inside me,
contribute to our plague.
Break all your promises,
tear down this steadfast wall,
restraints are useless here,
tasting salvation's near.

For next time ;)

I'm downloading your gig now it's 41% of the way through.

Ok i watched it.

A) Awesome cover of Unholy confessions, very hard song, i thought you tackled it well
B) Your bassist needs to MOVE!! a little more
C) I diDn't know you were from the UK
D) I really liked your first song. As far as i'm aware it's an original... if so good job
E) You do the whole sing/play guiatr thing well
F) Your drummer is amazing, especially on UC
G) You're a good singer
H) You involved the audience at the start, well done

and

I) That dude who kept shouting 'Rock N Roll' was soooooo funny :rolleyes:

[nowitzki]

I've only watch the UC cover so far. Musically it was good. The vocals weren't that great I didn't think. But then again it's got to be a tough song to sing, with awesome clean vocals and screaming.
So all in all a nice effort :thumb:

[Shred Danson]

very hard song

What's so hard about it?? It's a pretty simple song to play...

Joe, which band of yours is this? /me plans on dl'ing it when I get home.

[Arucard]

For next time ;)

Did you watch the whole thing? If so what did you think of the behind the head solo?

And yes, the vocals are very poor in that song, the problem is is that they have Shadows who doesn't even play anything and he struggles with the pitching in the chorus live.

Yes, he is a freaking great drummer, and the first song is ours.

the behind the head solo was good, it fitted i nwell with the song, showeed you were confisent enough to do it and have showmanship.

[Arucard]

You live in Manchester right? We're probably going to be playing an unsigned night at the academy in January/February.

[Britton]

All right. I just watched you're set. and that it was very entertaining I love
watching people do something they love to do and I could tell you love doing what you were doing over there. and it makes it so much more enjoyable when the person doing what he loves to is goood at it. I liked you're cover of A7X
I liked how the other guitarist moved around durung the song that he wrote.
I loved you're drummer. the bass player can play...but he lacks any sorta presence.

Good work.

I'm doing a battle of the bands soon. we are covering the same song. I'll
post it up here if I can

[Arucard]

Thanks man.

Any comments on our original songs i.e the rest of the set?

[Britton]

Oh yea I liked it! I loved the opening song. and the song by the guy
with the beautiful SG.

I'm gonna give it another listen tommarow. I got shingles yesterday. as a result
of the medicine they gave me I've been out of it all day today.

[Bat_Country]

Heh. My faverouite song that we play is the 'Something about pirates' song we do before UC.

And BC : Of course!

[Bat_Country]

I never knew you were from the UK.
Where abouts are you from?

[Arucard]

Leicestershire.

I only come to Manchester to see a girl i know called Kath, in a band called Flutterby.

[Britton]

Yea I liked you're presence out there. I though the behind the back solo
was really good. and I also liked the "Rock&Roll guy" about how many people
were there?


do ya'll have a good following?

oh and do you have some good quality recordings? The tape was a little
fuzzy....but that's not you're fault over all I really liked it

[Bat_Country]

[nowitzki]

Check out this video of Eternal Rest from the Vans Warped tour in 03.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3445824513585403203&q=avenged+sevenfold

Compare it to the recent version on MTV.com - I think the song sounds much better on the earlier performance, but I'll admit, Shadows does seem to have a lot more control in his clean vocals now.

[Drunken Viking]

I haven't seen the new version, where do you get it at?

Anyone here seen A7X live on their new tour?

[Cobshred666]

Amazing.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

That first video isn't of the greatest quality. :p

[Turkish]

They both aren't...but man do I love Second Heartbeat.


I always get goosebumps whenever he cuts into the chorus the seond time. "Aaaaaaaas Tiiiiimmeee passsesss byyy...."

I love that part.

[Tillius]

Second Heartbeat is indeed a great song.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, they started off with that at their concert, it sounded great.

[Tillius]

:lol:
I'm just remembering hearing them at Warped Tour. Shadows has such a country accent.

[Arucard]

I wanna see every fist, in the air!

Ha. Hes a good showman too.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, he kept calling everyone Mother ****ers though, which was cool the first few times, but it got annoying after a while.

[Arucard]

Two in my heart, have left me a while, i stand alone, we'll make it back, it won't be the same.

Classic.

[nowitzki]

Yeah, he kept calling everyone Mother ****ers though, which was cool the first few times, but it got annoying after a while.

:lol:

I'm sure it was nothing personal.

Really? hmm I guess that's why he admitted to being a "Hick"

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I keep hearing about this "injury" that Shadows suffered from. Can someone elaborate?

[Britton]

He popped some blood veins in his throat

that one?

[UpperDecker]

I don't know if any of you have seen it but on Headbangers Ball they played a "live video" of Burn It Down. I thought it was alright until i realized that it was the album version of the song with screaming of the fans put into it to make it seem live. How lame is that. I do like the band but that is as lame as i dont know what.

[Britton]

Yea it's kinda lame but the band has some very complex songs that are really
hard to recreate live...I know that's not really a good excuse but still

[UpperDecker]

Yea it's kinda lame but the band has some very complex songs that are really

That is true, they do have some complex stuff and i'm not trying to bash them but i just had to do it. It just wasn't a good thing to do in my opinion. :upset:

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I think that if a band can't do something live, then they shouldn't be writing it. That's just me, though.

[Britton]

Well yes I agree with both of you...if it's not something you can re-create live
I would rather not see it...but then about half of their stuff is gonna be unplaybale. I'm dealing with some of these issues in my own band at the moment

[nowitzki]

To be fair it's only a promo video - it's not like they released a live DVD or album and did that.

[Britton]

To be fair it's only a promo video - it's not like they released a live DVD or album and did that.


Very very true. my bands cover of that is sounding great!

[Drunken Viking]

They might be doing that so some of their more ignorent fans go to see them thinking that they are album perfect live, and besides, a lot of bands do that, and I'd rather have that then Arch Enemy's Nemesis video, total crap.

I keep hearing about this "injury" that Shadows suffered from. Can someone elaborate?
He burst a blood vessel in his throat during the last tour due to his relentless vocal technique.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Ouch. :-/ I can imagine that would hurt quite badly, but would it really leave permanent damage?

[nowitzki]

Apparently he can't scream for at least 2 years, or he'll damage he could damage his voice permanently.

[Moondog]

I watched the Bat Country video and I think they're great players but they're definitely not doing anything new. They seem to try to be reviving image-oriented metal with the technical aspects of Metallica. I've seen and heard it all, these guys are gonna go out quick.

[nowitzki]

You honestly have no idea. In what way do A7X use the technical aspects of Metallica? There are countless bands who make technical music, its nothing unique to Metallica. A lot of A7Xs material is much more complex than Metallica's anyway.

And I can certainly say you haven't seen and heard it all before, even if you have only heard Bat Country. Name one band that sounds like that? And then listen to Waking the Fallen, that album is like no one else.

[Bat_Country]

Those videos are awesome!
My two favourite songs!

This thread needs a name...

[nowitzki]

...Waking The Forum ;)

[Bat_Country]

...Waking The Forum ;)

i like it... much better than my ideas

[i am the robots]

Waking the Forum sounds good... kinda cheesey though... which would be fitting for the sound they've adopted on City of Evil.

[Bat_Country]

Waking the Forum sounds good... kinda cheesey though... which would be fitting for the sound they've adopted on City of Evil.

:rolleyes:
I vote for waking the forum!

[Britton]

Waking the forum has my vote

[nowitzki]

OK well if everyone wants to go for that shall I PM a mod and ask them to change it?

[Tillius]

Waking the Forum...definitely.

[loathed]

yeahhh gogogo

[Bat_Country]

But still have in brackets 'the avenged sevenfold discussion thread'

[VTDS_xx]

A7X's new stuff is really great. I can appreciate it alot. Their metalcore stuff was brutal and definitely good, but this new approach (probably only taken because Shadows' vocal chord problem) is very nice.
Bat Country is definitely a catchy tune. Beast and the Harlot is also nice.
The Rev and Synyster are some talented musicians.

[Arucard]

I vote A7X sucks but Joe owns this thread.

PS. LOLOLOLOLLOL.

Video of syn playing misc guitar riffs
YOu have to click on :watch sidewinder video (right side, almost top of page), and then "interview" on the next page.

http://www.911tabs.com/link/?2243756

[mish_a7x]

i really like Avenged's new album, I saw them live in May and the sound was all fecked where i saw them so it didnt sound as good as it could of but it was fecking mental..

I think im starting to like City Of Evil more than Waking the Fallen, but some songs are crud on it... i cant stand M.I.A for some reason, but i think the guys' skills are shown far more on this album as its a clearer sound. Meh this might all sound like a bunch of sh!t to you lot but it made sense to me.

In short... a7x are sex, pure and simple

[Britton]

^ agreed.

I love the new name! it looks better then I though it would.

Check out Syn http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=zYqIPHUWXxA&l=134

I think he's the new Slash. What would ya'll say about that?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I don't like GnR or Velvet Revolver, so I wouldn't say he's the new Slash, but I get the point you're trying to make, and you very well may be right. :p With A7X recently breaking into the radio mainstream, he could become quite the renowned player within the next few years.

[nowitzki]

I really hate the vocals at the end of MIA. They are so nasaly its just unbearable.

I think Sidewinder has become my favourite song on CoE, and I like Bat Country a lot more than I used to.

[Turkish]

I really hate the vocals at the end of MIA. They are so nasaly its just unbearable.

I think Sidewinder has become my favourite song on CoE, and I like Bat Country a lot more than I used to.


I agree on the vocals on MIA, even though it's one of my favorites from CoE.


I love Syn's playing, especially on To End the Rapture from STST. Man, that guy knows how to play.

[Drunken Viking]

Yeah, his solos have really always stood out in the band IMO.


Just wondering, how many people can actually hear the bass?

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

I can. It's usually pretty audible.

[Drunken Viking]

Really, I can almost never hear it, except in a few parts. I mean I know he has great parts, but I can usualy never hear it.

[mish_a7x]

I really hate the vocals at the end of MIA. They are so nasaly its just unbearable.

I think Sidewinder has become my favourite song on CoE, and I like Bat Country a lot more than I used to.

agreed, thats what i meant by what i said about M.I.A... and the video to Bat country is insane... when Syn does his solo it looks really skilled


ohandzackyishawtyeah:naughty:

[deathscreamingsheep]

Unfortunately with A7X breaking into the mainstream, i had to endure a conversation with a bunch of 14 year olds on the same bus as me about how buff M Shadows is. Grrr....

MIA is actually my favourite song on the album.

[bwnstl]

Hey all. I'm not really NEW to A7X, but I just started really liking them. I had Waking the Fallen, and I liked a couple songs despite the power-metal sound, but I just heard Bat Country a couple days ago and I can't stop listening to it. The song's so amazing and just gets my blood pumping, and it's just such a great song. I can't wait to listen to the rest of CoE and maybe go back and listen to WtF more closely.

So.....yeah. Don't really have a question or anything, just wanted to say that I like A7X now... lol

Oh yeah, I also have a question: What happened to Shadow's(?) voice that made it so he can't scream anymore. I have to admit I like screaming but I can deal either way.

[mish_a7x]

that would bug me too.... the music is what its all about for me

****ing love them <3 i was going to get the deathbat tattooed on my forearm but then i remembered i hate needles and that wouldnt be possible :upset:

[mish_a7x]

So.....yeah. Don't really have a question or anything, just wanted to say that I like A7X now... lol

when you do i suggest you listen to I Wont See You Tonight Part 1 off that album, it is amazing and has such an atmosphere with it, which you dont seem to get with many songs anymore, i guess i could liken it to Pantera-Cemetary Gates in that sense, but that would be my opinion and probably not everyone elses..

Also Second Heartbeat has an incredible solo in it and just makes me dance

[bwnstl]

Actually, I won't see you tonight part 1 is one of the songs that I know for sure that I really liked from that album. Thanks for the suggestion, but I totally agree with you! :thumb:

[mish_a7x]

awesome :D well deffo check out second heartbeat then

[36Dritzlfists]

Do any of you guys know A7x's Setlist for their current tour cuz i'd like to go see them soon.

[Tillius]

I think they're done. If not...they only have a few more shows left.

[Britton]

God what I wouldn't give to see them end that tour

http://www.avengedsevenfold.com/main.html

[SC423]

i get to see them end that tour :p

[nowitzki]

Does anyone else find A7X's site really annoying to navigate? It's really hard to scroll to the right bit of news on the main page.

[Bat_Country]

Yeah I was thinking that, It was easier first time round.

www.chapter-four.net is a better site to navigate :thumb:

[Britton]

Yea it is kinda hard. But it looks really good.

[Drunken Viking]

Do any of you guys know A7x's Setlist for their current tour cuz i'd like to go see them soon.
WHen I saw them they played Second Heartbeat, Burn It Down, Beast And The Harlot, Unholy Confessions, Strength Of The World, MIA, The Wicked End, Chapter Four, Bat Country, and Eternal Rest, and the guitarist played about 5 minutes of shred in the middle, it sucked they didn't play anything off of STST though.

[deathscreamingsheep]

^^ I found that shredding thing really dull and irritating to be honest. Worst part of the set for me.

[Britton]

Well they don't play STST anymore...Shadows can't scream and that's 90%
of that album

[From_The_Shadows666]

Well everyone that says Avenged sucks...I basically hate you.
I'm new to the forums, and I am a banana.
It seems that A7X is getting really popular lately.
Now myself...they've been my favourite band since I heard of them a couple months before their release of Waking The Fallen.
Of course I bought it right away...and listened to it non-stop.
In my opinion, it's amazing.
And now they're getting popular...and everyone seems to like them.
What really annoys me...is people come up to me...and they're like "Hey you heard Avenged Sevenfold yet"?
Of course I'v heard them, but I don't like all the new kids thinking they know everything about them.
Does this annoy anyone else? Or just me?

[Bat_Country]

Well everyone that says Avenged sucks...I basically hate you.
I'm new to the forums, and I am a banana.
It seems that A7X is getting really popular lately.
Now myself...they've been my favourite band since I heard of them a couple months before their release of Waking The Fallen.
Of course I bought it right away...and listened to it non-stop.

That's the problem when a band gets signed to a major label, you get all the little poser kids who thinkthey know everything. You just ahve to remeber you've been with them from early on and when they lose their mainstream popualrity you'll still be there 100% behind them.

Yea it works both ways. I hadn't heard of them until COE so I can't claim
to be a uber fan. But that's when I got converted. it drives me crazy when people do stuff like that...not only for up and coming bands but for the ones
who are byrning out.

While that IS annoying, you don't have to be a douche about it. Not everyone picks up on bands as soon as they appear on the horizon. Tool is one of my favorite bands, but I hadn't heard any of their stuff until I bought Lateralus on a whim. Does that make me a "poser"? That I was 3 years old when they formed as a band, so I don't know about them?
I do agree that there are A LOT of posers that listen to this kind of music because it fits in with their "style" and not because they like the actual music. But still, for those who aren't in it for the style but are still genuinely asking if you've heard of them, you don't have to be a douche. For all you know, they could be just as excited about the band as you and want to introduce you to them, which would make you and them one and the same--A7X fans. Why would you be annoyed at that?

[Drunken Viking]

Well everyone that says Avenged sucks...I basically hate you.
Why? Because their opinion differs from yours, that's a terrible way to judge someone...

Dude chill out, I hadn't ever heard of them before I listened to the very first edition of Burn It Down (the one that was only like 2 min long), but now they are one of my favorite bands. I used to hate WTF, but now its one of my favorite albums, I may not have heard of them before CoE but that doesn't mean that I don't like them and I'm a poser. While yes it does annoy me that kids say that, could it be possible that they wanted to know if you had heard of them because they might tell you about them and they also had been listening since STST came out?

[panthersfan16]

I randomly bought CoE cuz I liked the cover, but their older stuff takes some getting used to. A lot of people cant just jump in and say wow this is cool. I had WTF but never listened to it after hearing the first 2 songs cuz i hated it. Now, its also one of my favorite albums

[Turkish]

I hadn't heard of them until COE so I can't claim
to be a uber fan.


Dude, just because I started listening to them before their release of WTF, doesn't make me anymore of a fan than you. If you dig the music, you dig the music...doesn't make you any less of a fan.

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

So I stole Waking the Fallen from my cousin today. I'm currently listening to Remissions, and so far, I'm liking it, but not quite as much as City of Evil.

[Tillius]

Everybody seems to like CoE so much better...but I think Waking the Fallen is a better album.

[Turkish]

Listen to Second Heartbeat, I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1 and 2 and Desecrate through Reverence.

they are teh thanks.


WTF>STST>CoE

[Dr. Jake Destructo]

Well, it is my first listen, so it may grow on me a bunch.

[Turkish]

I didn't really listen to it all the way though the first time I got it, I only really listened to the first 5 tracks. But once I listened to Second Heartbeat, it didn't leave my cd player for quite awhile. Probably a till the release of CoE did it finally leave.

[Tillius]

I didn't really start listening to Avenged Sevenfold until CoE came out. My friend liked them, and I had the CD's...and when he bouth CoE I fell in love...called it the greatest album of all time. However, I then started paying more attention to WTF, and realized I enjoyed it so much better.

[mish_a7x]

Oh yeah, I also have a question: What happened to Shadow's(?) voice that made it so he can't scream anymore. I have to admit I like screaming but I can deal either way.


i do believe that this was because of an operation he had.... im not sure about proper details, but im about 99% sure thats why.

Listen to Second Heartbeat, I Won't See You Tonight Pt. 1 and 2 and Desecrate through Reverence.

they are teh thanks.


WTF>STST>CoE

I think I just found my A7x soulfriend thing.... i totally agree, spot on chaps :thumb:

[deathscreamingsheep]

Everybody seems to like CoE so much better...but I think Waking the Fallen is a better album.

Er... about half of the people posting on this thread prefer Waking the Fallen.

[nowitzki]

I became an A7X fan after I heard Unholy Confessions for the first time. I bought WTF the next day and its still my favourite album. I love all 3 albums though, I listen to them all regularly.

[blacksorrows]

it took getting use to for the vocals, immediately loved the drums though, was alrite on the guitar.. but where they've gone now with their sound is just amazing, i dont know how to categorise it as to what genre, but i love the power metal feel to it.:thumb:

[Roo_bass]

I started to like A7X when I heard Lips Of Deceit and Darkness Surrounding, I then brought WtF, then CoE, then StST.
IMO WtF>CoE + StST I love them all though.

[scenesfromatheater]

Listening to City of Evil today...awsome.

[Bat_Country]

I don't know if this was just me but I didn't really have to adjust to the "new" vocals on COE.
I think becuase they fit in with the music so well they just seemed normal. To be honest i don't see that much of a change anyway, if you listen to songs like IWSYT PT1 on WTF or Warmess on the Soul on STST where Shadows sings for the majority of the song the voclas on those sound the same to the ones on COE so he hasn't changed that much, if at all.

It didn't take me any getting used to at all. WTF isn't my favorite album just because CoE doesn't have any screaming, I just happen to like most of their songs better.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Wow...sorry guys...I was trying to be a douche...I'm just saying I hate it when people start 'liking' a band just because other people like it. It really annoys me...and yea of course people are becoming there fans because there just hearing them...didn't mean anything like that...i was just saying it annoys me to see posers...

[Turkish]

wait...you WERE trying to be a douche??

[The_Riddler]

I'm just saying I hate it when people start 'liking' a band just because other people like it.

My girlfriend showed me this band, and right now I have been listening to a few songs here and there and I really want to buy one of their cd's because I think everything is pretty amazing from the songs I hear. How is that stupid that I like it because "other" people liked it before me?

Either way, hopefully I can buy one of their albums when the time comes around, I have been hearing their songs constantly and just want more music from them.

[azbassman]

What songs have you heard?

[The_Riddler]

What songs have you heard?

The songs I have heard
-I won't see you tonight part II
-Remenissions
-And all the things will end
-Bat Country

"And all the Things will End' is a great song, with an amazing solo. Something from listening to it, the solo starts off brilliant and then just looses everything near the end, it goes from an amazing solo to something that just starts to make you think "What the hell is this". I am pretty sure that was intended from the way the song ends, but yeah..

Bat Country I am sure I have heard or seen the video, but I am not sure if that was the one or if they had another single somewhere in there. The vocals are pretty odd, but not in such a good way. The solo is the thing that really stands out though. Not a bad song, but not the best either, great solo though.

[deathscreamingsheep]

I'd suggest getting Waking the Fallen first then, it has more of that style. Then go and get STST or City of Evil as those two are both very different.

[azbassman]

Well look three out of four songs hes hard are off of WTF...deffinatley get that one first.

[guitarded_chuck]

A7X are getting really popular lately, but I can't complain. They are definitely an amazing band. Hopefully future material is watered down to make it sound more pop-esque.

[Fish]

i've just started getting into them, they aren't half bad

[Bat_Country]

Why is all the activity in this thread when i'm offline :upset:

[azbassman]

My favorite songs by them would be; I wont see you tonight parts 1 & 2

[nowitzki]

I would find it very difficult to name one favourite song, but I'm tempted to say Remenissions.

[Bat_Country]

I would find it very difficult to name one favourite song, .

123 I think of one but then i'm like oh yeah what about that one...

But i'd probably say it was Second Heartbeat.

has anyone seen Zackys new clothing line?

[From_The_Shadows666]

Noooo I'm NOT trying to be a douche...
And I meant 'posers'...like yea everyone gets into bands because other people told them about them...
I just meant people who 'pretend' to like them...that's what annoys me

[cbmartinez]

Stst > Coe > Wtf

[From_The_Shadows666]

Stst = Sounding The Seventh Trumpet
WTF = Waking The Fallen
CoE = City Of Evil

These are just short forms for the cd's...

[cbmartinez]

Oh really? I didn't know.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Yea just so you don't have to write out the entire name :)

And where can you see the clothing line? Is it up yet?
I heard it would be awesome...

[nowitzki]

Oh really? I didn't know.

:lol:

[Arucard]

Oh really? I didn't know.

:lol:

FromTheShadows : Do you really think he didn't know that?

[From_The_Shadows666]

Ummm ok? I have no idea...he probably did know...I'm kind of new to this I just joined like yesterday so I'm quite confused :(

[nowitzki]

Well when someone uses the ">" symbol, it means "is greater than". :thumb:

[From_The_Shadows666]

Oh...wow lol no idea that's how it worked...
It makes sense lol...so then...Nowitzki > From_The_Shadows666....lol oh well eventually I'll know how this forum works...

[cbmartinez]

Ummm ok? I have no idea...he probably did know...I'm kind of new to this I just joined like yesterday so I'm quite confused :(

It's all good dude. I was being a dick. Welcome to the forums.

By the way, I don't want it to look like I'm reverting back to my "STST is the best album, metalcore r00ls" elitism. My point was that I think COE is better than WTF.

[Drunken Viking]

123 I think of one but then i'm like oh yeah what about that one...

But i'd probably say it was Second Heartbeat.

has anyone seen Zackys new clothing line?
No, is Zacky the rythym of the lead guitarist, the rythym player dresses funny IMO, the sweaters with the tattos coming out from under it, and the bandanas on his hands, with the gloves and silver nail polish, and the makeup and nose ring doesn't really do it for me...

[azbassman]

Zacky is the rythym player, and i think he dresses cool, but i am pretty fashion-core sometimes :\

Yea same here...I think CoE is there best album so far...just because they keep getting better in my opinion...and CoE is more rhythmic and harmoized...and....ummm I'm trying to sound smart :(

[azbassman]

No, is Zacky the rythym of the lead guitarist, the rythym player dresses funny IMO, the sweaters with the tattos coming out from under it, and the bandanas on his hands, with the gloves and silver nail polish, and the makeup and nose ring doesn't really do it for me...
yes zacky is the rythm guitarist

[Drunken Viking]

Haha thats cool, I'm more the jeans and band shirts or skateboarding shirts crowd...

There pretty much both lead...because they both play lead parts...but in there opinion Synyster Gates is lead...and Zacky is rhythm...
And they dress how they want...there not trying to impress anybody...

[Drunken Viking]

I don't give a crap how they dress, it's just not me.

TO From the shadows in case of a three post thingy again.

I always thought of one being the lead and the other rythym, because one plays rythym parts most of the time, while the other plays lead, unlike LoG where they both are lead.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Why does everyone beat me to posting?
EVERY SINGLE TIME!!! lol it sucks

Same here...people always try to rip on me for wearing black....." you f'ing goth, you gonna cast a spell on me" is probably the best attempt ive heard. (which made me laugh)

[From_The_Shadows666]

Lol Arucard I don't mean hardcore gloves...I mean gloves so when I'm playing drums my drum sticks don't go flying all over the place...and for guitar because it's so comfortable :):):)

[From_The_Shadows666]

I get a lot more 'Emo kid go cry!' type thing.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Oh yea I get that all the time...but then there wearing like a HIM shirt...and ahaha they suck...one time I was wearing a Slayer shirt though...and some guy said it was emo...I don't talk about that day...

[nowitzki]

I have some tight black jeans, but I don't really like wearing them, they're not very comfortable and its a bitch trying to get things out of your pockets. I'm not into makeup and dying my hair black at all. I usually just go for the loose jeans and tight band shirt (not skin tight, but I like to show off my macho physique :cool:).

It's just the mental ones that are hilarious to watch :)...

[Drunken Viking]

Hahaha, yeah when I saw A7X live their drummer but on an amazing show.

[Tyler Durden]

Anybody seeing them in irvine next week? I'm trying to get tickets...but I think it's sold out.

[guitarizzle]

Hey there, I'm new to the board. I've been into a7x for a little over a year now. The 1st album I heard from them was WTF and I thought it was badass.
Im gonna see them in Irvine on thursday.

p.s - please don't pick on the n00b (me) :upset:

Hope you have a good time at the show, when I saw them they were amazing. :thumb:

Is it just me, or are M Shadow's vocals just not as good on City of Evil?

[bwnstl]

Do you mean the lack of screaming? He can't scream anymore because he had to have surgery to relieve internal bleeding in his throat.

[Quickdrop]

I wasnt really ever into the A7X genre much. After my friend introduced me to some stuff, i really love them. very impressive group.

Remenissions is probebly my favorite overall.

[Bat_Country]

What happend to all the banned people? :confused:

Name's Mike by the way :wave:

No. Irvine, California for the show. It shall be kickass. I heard it was gonna be filmed for a DVD or something

[draintheblood]

Do you mean the lack of screaming? He can't scream anymore because he had to have surgery to relieve internal bleeding in his throat.
I'm suprised he's still doing anything, he sounds terrible now. I loved A7X until COE. I still love their old stuff just as much, but the new stuff...bleh. ><

[From_The_Shadows666]

WHy don't you like the new stuff?
Not being rude just wondering...
I think it sounds awesome...like yeah with screaming it would be even better...but vocals aren't the only thing...

WHy don't you like the new stuff?

if i was in a band with an amazing guitarist, and bassist, (me being a drummer), and less than amazing singer, id find an amazing one.

but its probably a brotherly thing that they left him on for. he sounds good until he sings slow.

[Britton]

I really like his voice...granted he's not that great...but I don't hear many people
like him.

It's sad how he tries to sing like axle rose

ugh :rolleyes:

Shadows sounds sexy on COE imo... not like axl rose at all

[yeawhatever1117]

A7X are getting really popular lately, but I can't complain. They are definitely an amazing band. Hopefully future material is watered down to make it sound more pop-esque.

Why would you want A7X to sound more "pop-esque". They may have moved to a major label, but I highly doubt we will see any 2-3 minute pop/rock songs from them anytime soon. If that did happen I would probably have to stab myself in the face:lol: I'm just looking foward to their next album already. I just can't wait to see where this band is going in the future. Oh and by the way, I think WTF> COE and COE=STST even though they are completley different styles. They are all amazing albums though

[nowitzki]

I don't mind Shadow's vocals on City of Evil, except the end of MIA, where they are just unbearable.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Wow lol...I must be the only one that likes Matt's vocals...in my opinion he's really good...I mean it's probably because we never got to heard City Of Evil with screaming. Like when they play stuff off of WTF live...well it's not quite the same...

[Britton]

Wow lol...I must be the only one that likes Matt's vocals...in my opinion he's really good...I mean it's probably because we never got to heard City Of Evil with screaming. Like when they play stuff off of WTF live...well it's not quite the same...

I love his vocals...

So what A7X songs can you all play?

THis week I'm gonna learn the beast and the harlot solo...I shoulda done it over the break...but I couldn't get it together


My name really is Britton...are you still taking names?

[From_The_Shadows666]

Lol yea just so I know them...
And on guitar? I can play all of WTF...and COE except for M.I.A. and Sidewinder
On drums...everything lol...except I can't do it all right yet...
And bass...ummm....just WTF...that's it for bass but I don't really play bass...
So yeah that's about it...
Everyone else?

[Britton]

I can only play a couple songs...but I know the whole songs solo's included

[From_The_Shadows666]

Yeah I know lol but I'm...well kind of sort of obsessed :):):)
Of course...you have to learn the whole song if your going to learn it...some of them I still need music for though because I forget it :)
But great job

[Roo_bass]

To tell the truth I don't know any A7X songs, I do have to learn Second Heartbeat for a band though, it's a fantastic song and shouldn't be to hard.
I play bass by the way.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Yeah I can play Second Heartbeat on bass....it's not too hard really...the solo is kind of tricky on guitar though...

[nowitzki]

I can play all the songs on bass.
I can play a few on guitar, I don't practice guitar much though.

[From_The_Shadows666]

Lol but me isn't playing bass...but in my opinion the drums are the most fun to learn...I mean you still mess around and stuff...but like the general beats are awesome lol

[Drunken Viking]

Anybody here wanna try to do a cover of one of their songs? I might try my hand on the vox, just so long as it's not off of CoE, I can't get my voice to sound like that (nasly I mean).

[Tillius]

I haven't been playing guitar long. Only songs I know from them are Chapter 4, Shattered by Broken Dreams, and Bat Country(not the solo).

[Drunken Viking]

I think Chapter Four would be pretty cool, it's one of my favorite songs at the moment, but the layering of the vox would be quite a challenge, but I'm always up for challenges.

[Tillius]

How would you propose to do this?

[Drunken Viking]

What, record or do the tracks, to record we could use Audacity, and to do everything else we do this, I get someone to program the drums, then we send it to the bass, then guitar, then guitar, then me, or whatever order you want. We don't have to do this, I thought it would be kinda fun.

That's awesome, I'm wanna perfect rythym before I even attempt soloing.

[nowitzki]

Thats a cool idea, I don't have any recording equiptment with me here at uni though.

[Arucard]

Well, most of you guys know my guitar abilities already, so if you want me in i will.
