@SeizeTheDayfoREVer I would also say A LOT of Iron Maiden influence - the topics, the darkness, the dueling solos - personally, it's Metallica & Maiden combined into the best 21st century metal band...and possibly the best of all time.
@deadmonkey886 - i would say it has a lot of 'thrash lines' (umm...listen to the last 40 or so fan-tas-tic and glo-ri-ous seconds...) which were popularized by Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer & Anthrax - their riffs sound most (of the 4) like Metallica - it DOES NOT cheapen A7X in any way shape or form, but you can hear some Kirk & James in there...
@obiwannut Maybe.....maybe a hint of Old metallica......everything from "Load" to now has been sell out garbage. The Metallica "Metallica" or ignorantly know as the black album was the last solid album...y im on this subject, Lars is a arrogant douche bag.
Im missing the "sounds like Metallica" thing. maybe the tone is similar, but thats where it ends. This song is very original, and in my opinion a guitar masterpiece.
@TheHerbmon yeah its different when the idiots at your local radio station think its metallica and play it on mandatory metallica! not hating avenged seven fold though :D
@GAM3VIDZROCKS33 its not their "official" music video. It's just their "official" lyric video. I believe they wanted to put out a music video directed by Rob Zombie, but he's busy directing a movie so they're either going to find somebody else to direct it or wait for Rob to finish his movie, but there should be a music video out sometime soon :)
I just want to point out that the singles they release will be the most radio friendly songs. Chances are the rest of the album is heavier and even "darker," like A7X says, and even more badass. To me, these singles will be hard to top but it's A7X, it'll happen.
Nightmare is going to be an incredible album. To whoever posted below, yup it's all about Jimmy. Such an unbelievable musician... Songwriter, could play the drums like a god, guitar, bass, organ, piano, sing, think I missed some but you get the point.
I think the "slow start" some people are saying is just something A7X does. They do it on multiple songs, and have said they like the chills it can give someone when it finally kicks in. Personally, I like it, the slow build up, but not on every song. So far this album seems like it is going to be absolutely amazing. Does sound a bit like Metallica at points, but who doesn't like Metallica anyway? :)
This song belongs on Metallica's Black album, not Avenged Sevenfold. It's a change, but you can still hear them. Just hope, personally, the rest of the album isn't like this. =/
man i hate how the into sounds like metallica. I love metallica but it doesnt sound like avenged sevenfold at all from :53 to 1:20. but thats just my opinion.
I think the comments comparing this to metallica are probably the worst thing that could happen to A7x They used to be so much better than this most the people saying omg this is amazing are just complete fanboys
...Does this remind anyone else of "Hollow" by Pantera? Slow, melodic intro, long verse, soft-ish chorus, solo, breakdown into a heavy part at the end?
@meir123 Falling? I kind of agree, it isn't shit but it's just one of those slow songs that aren't really that great to get into. Nightmare was much better. Still after reading reviews and watching interviews this is not one of the songs I was excited for anyway. Much more is to come ;)
@bostonfan278 there are certain refferences about The Rev . "Chances are that you'll find out / We're sharing a common discomfort now / I feel I'm walking on a fine line / Tell me only if it's real " I think it's like a dialogue with the fans . Not to say hints about Rev's drug addiction towards the end.
@meir123 i havent been following A7X as long as you have, i basically grew off of their self titled album. then i basically bought all their other albums in reverse order. i loved city of evil and waking the fallen was amazing, it was definitly a different listen than the white album but i still loved it. i like sounding the 7th trumpet, but not as mcuh as the others. i never really got into that xtreme punk rock that they first started at. but i wouldnt say its pure crap. i like it a lot
this is the shit metallica wishes they could still write, A7X has truely cemented their place as one of the greatest bands in history. they have such a amazing range of styles of music. This new album is going to be soo monumental and emotional i cant wait
holy fuck.. thats all i can say.. oh, i can also say holy shit, fuckin epic, shit's amazing, ever single one of my hairs stood up, and i jizzed all over lady gaga when i heard this...
i think tht flare is the revs backing vocals or sometimes lead vocals. like i cn imagine rev singin parts of this. but on the drummin i think portnoy does well to imitate jimmys style. RIP Jimmy
