@InMemoryOfJimmy Hell yea! The Dancing Dead solo is actually harder and more technical than Afterlife's. And does anyone know where to find this album and why it's not on iTunes?!?!
@raugusto2 I guess i should, I would re-do the video, cause I missed some other solo parts in the song, but its too late. =/ I understand though, Synyster Gates is a great guitarist.
its crazy how all the diamonds in the rough songs are amazing, and they were just the scraps of what a7x didnt want. another example, the new song 4am didnt make it on Nightmare but that song is awesome! i guess thats what happens when your so rediculously talented and creative
holy fuck!!! how have i never heard half of these like until the end and deamons!! wow i feel so retarded! i love this band so much youd think i would have heard these by now! looks like im with 805a7xFan!! haha we shared a boulder!
This album is JUST AS GOOD if not even a little better than the self titled album in my opinion. I have heard every album all the way through and i would say this one is up there with the rest of em.
...I think what kills the others is the music behind the solos. Listen to the other guys parts behind the main solo in Strength of the world and you'll see what I mean. You can tell more thought has been put into it.
you can tell that synyster had some wicked ideas but didnt progress on the ideas as much as he would have done normally because he knew they were only going to be B-sides and not on their self titled album. Compared to the solos on the self titled and city of evil these are nothing. But you can defnitely tell there were ideas that could have been worked on more. The best solos for me on diamonds is the 2nd Tension one and the 1st dancing dead one. Anyone agree?...
@syngatesJr6661a7x Yeah, Me and my friend always compare A7x (I like) and Iron Maiden (He likes) Solos. I need more videos like this so I don't have to flip through the song to get it :P
when they get back they are going to HOPEFULLY start recording and even then shadows is working on a project with slash and im sure Syn has plently of projects as well
No just 6 new ones, also there is Almost Easy (CLA Mix), Afterlife (Alternate Version), Walk (Cover), and Flash of the Blade (Cover). So I wanted ones you havent already heard. =)
i'm a HUGE A7x fan, but i honestly didn't like the diamond in the album with live at the LBC, it just didn't really seem like their style..idk it was just different, like the dueling solos at the beginging and all. plus lyricely it wasn't the best.. but they're still amazing
I'm sure alot of people would disagree or agree to this, but these songs ( excluding the covers, afterlife and almost easy off this CD ) should realy have made it onto the self titled album. They kick ass! Although, critical acclaim and A little piece of heaven are badass also.
i read in Guitar World magazine last year that they had a song called "Big Bear" that was supposed to be on the new album, but it didnt make the cut i guess, and apparently it didnt even make this album....weird, it couldnt have been that bad. maybe they just took pieces of it made one of these songs
Ya they called it Big Bearbecuase they made the song in a place called Big Bear. Unbound was Disneyland acid trip cuase they said its like being on acid in Disneyland.
a little piece of heaven was i asome song but theres 3 better songs tho dancing dead girl i know and almost easy the origenal virsion the remix was no diffent from the 1 st just the singing part
all these songs are mostly better and more classic avenged sevenfold-ey than most of the songs on "Avenged Sevenfold" seriously, they need to learn to choose what to put on their albums
ya they only ones deserving are, almost easy, Lost, Afterlife and i think people will question about lost but its executed perfectly and has a similar tone to diamonds in the rough (well of course same album practically), A Little Piece Of Heaven was a huge mistake, not that it was a bad song (it was good) but utterly horendous for A7X, out of this came a lot of good songs though
Personally, I have to disagree, no offense to you or others. I like every song they ever came out with esp. A Little Piece of Heaven. I think its okay for a band to change its sound as long as they dont turn mainstream like FOB
Each time it pass to an other song its like a mini heart attack. :)
