Brand Spankin' New A7X Cover

2017-08-25 by A.R.O. STAFF | 21 Comments
On Thursday Avenged Sevenfold unveiled their new cover of the Beach Boys' single "God Only Knows." This comes after the recent releases of covers of Mr. Bungle's "Retrovertigo" and Del Shannon's "Runaway," as well as the mariachi-inspired "MalagueƱa Salerosa," continuing their foray into influences of many backgrounds and genres after the release of their most recent album, The Stage.

All four tracks were recorded with producer Joe Barresi, known for his work with Tool and Queens of the Stone Age.

My friend's favorite band is The Beach Boys.

The biggest joke in our group is A7x.

A match made in heaven

It's a controversial subject but apparently, you can have an opinion about Avenged Sevenfold that doesn't involve shitting on them at any and every available opportunity.
This is a solid version, unexpected (or rather as unexpected as it could be given their recent covers), and I re-iterate what someone else has put regarding them recently, it's awesome to see them having fun and experimenting, it's gonna work wonders for their original output.

Who enjoys cover songs, honestly? Every time I see a band I like releases a new song then to realize it's a cover song I get visibly upset. (not saying I like a7x but point still stands)

blasphemy of the highest level. I have to go listen to pet sounds on repeat in order to purge this musical monstrosity from my ears.

It's really not that bad, it's not as good as some of the other recent stuff tho

I thought this would be an A7X cover as performed by Brand New.
I suppose I would've been disappointed either way.

I'm pretty sure they just recorded these on the side while recording The Stage... I think they were just testing out the new drummer and having fun with it. Who knows. We don't need an article for every cover, there's going to be more, it's nothing important. After the first article it's just an excuse for sputnik to have a circle jerk of hate on the band.
