What I got out of that video is that the singer Shadows or whateverthefuck is being forced to drum for them.

the end was actually the best part.

it's like his worst nightmare is not having the rev as a drummer anymore, and they didn't show any drumming the whole music video.. and it finally comes up an empty drumset at the end.

oh well. i thought it was cool.

life goes on, sputnik still hates a7x, etc.

The ending would have been touching if you know...the song was at all. I actually chuckled a little at the end, with all due respect to the band.

Video's alright. The end confused me, and then I was like "OHHHH". And thne I was like "Aww..."

I feel like their music is less free than their past work. City of Evil's songs felt less structured and predictable.

I mean, A7X were my favorite band in 7th-8th grade and I still enjoy a lot of their material but their fans are so fucking dumb for the most part.

OMG THE END OF THE VIDEO GAIS I CRIED

Listen to the lyrics of the fucking song.

I don't hear complaints about lyrics not fitting videos very often... I mean, seems like a good portion of music videos have very little to do with the actual song. But apparently it really matters with this one, so much so that if you cared enough about the band to cry, you're dumb? Cool.

Besides, I thought of it as separate from the rest of the video, to an extent. Theres the insane asylum part of the video, then there was the band performing part of the video. And it ended revealing something about the performance part, the fact that they didn't show a drummer, and what it meant. *shrugs* It's not exactly brilliant art, but, God, lay off the ending. I'd rather complain about the guy dancing with the skull. Now THAT was silly looking.

It's actually really fun to sing the edited version. Or edited versions of things in general. One of my favorite ever to sing was this one Sevendust song that came on at some point.... I believe it went...

"YOU CAN'T STOP ... WITH MY HEAD, STOP ... WITH MY HEAD!"

Good times.

My previous comments definitely came across as a bit brash, and for that I apologize. I'll blame that on sleep-
deprivation.

I just can't stand the blind/faux-devotion. It comes off as slightly humorous, almost satirical that such a tragic theme
was portrayed with a song so meat-headed and...crass? It doesn't match up at all to me and seems entirely forced. With
good intentions? Of course, the product is very awkwardly played out however. And remember I don't hate these
guys.

The skeleton is excusable cuz the fangirls love the shit out of Zacky.

Oh, well, I do agree on the faux devotion. I'm actually considering making a list for bands with the most annoying fans, and I was strongly considering including them. And, yeah, I don't understand why they had to use THIS song.

*laughs* Well, whatever floats the fangirls boats, I guess.

Just seriously read this on wikipedia

Many homages and tributes are shown through the video. For instance, The Rev's City of Evil tour drum kit has spiders crawling on it, just like in the Afterlife video, except that the spiders were on The Rev's face. Another example is during one of Zacky's scenes where he is waltzing with a skeleton. This is also shown in the Afterlife video, except that he is dancing with a woman. Other smaller references to Avenged Sevenfold's video's are The Priest from Seize the Day and patients faces stretching, like in the Bat Country video.

They are paying tribute to themselves, it was all so obvious

They're a little cringe-worthy at times in that song but i'll be the first to admit Warmness on the Soul is a very good
song. It doesn't matter much though because they're delivered with actual emotion.

I know, it's ridiculous. I feel like this happens to a lot of bands. They kinda pick an image theme and it consumes them. In their case, it didn't RUIN them, like it's done other bands, but it watered them down immensely...

when they were more about emotion and music than a image and persona to uphold? yea I miss that as well. Even WTF seemed honest. I really thought theyd cut the image they obtained when they signed to warner bros after the rev died and return to basics and their trueselves but I guess I was wrong.


Agree with this exactly, except I didn't expect them to change at all, they're in too deep.

Maybe there'll be one good song written as a true tribute to the Rev that will have real emotion and not be laugh-worthy.

haha my last.fm is so fucked up because of i've kept all of my accumulation from the past 6 or so years. My top 3 bands are Incubus, System of a Down, and A7X. Still enjoy them all, and I still give Incubus a pretty decent amount of plays, but it's odd considering my evolved taste.

I know the Rev was a great drummer, but one of the best of all time according to comments and even "the best drummer that ever lived"...like get real fanboys. They should disallow comments on youtube, it's nothing but fanboys and if someone's like "Didn't really like this, M Shadows doesn't cut it for me", people are like "FUCK YOU, FUKIN FAG. IF I KNEW YOU I'D KILL YOU, WHY DO YOU EVEN WATCH THIS THEN, GO LISTEN TO FUKKIN (whatever you viewed last on your channel).
