  • R.I.P. The REV

  • Hey guys, why fight about stupid stuff when we could be all agreeing on how epic The Rev's scream was! That was the best "restraints are useless here" scream ever.

  • Why doesnt he scream anymore? he just sings the screaming bits now.

  • Its scary how buff he is

  • why is everyone mad that they stopped trying to cross death metal and punk rock and finally wanted to sell some albums? if you want to stay alive in the music industry you have to evolve. compare the number of views on any song of thier first 2 albums compared to thier later stuff like diamonds in the rough or even city of evil.

  • @ThexSeventhxSeal They were never remotely similar to death metal nor punk rock at all to begin with. If anything, they were more like the early form of metalcore when they first started out. Also, you don't have to evolve in order to survive. If anything, you have to write music that appeals to a majority of music fans and a ton of promotion in order to survive.

  • @ParasiticDevourment

    Far from subject,

    But i would like too verify this definitely is an early form of METALCORE,

    And this song could easily roll with the generic breakdown-death-breebreecore of today and own every one of them because this is the start of many metalcore bands.

  • @ParasiticDevourment u just contradicted urself u fucktard! metalcore and deathmetal are subgenres of metal. so how could they not be remotely similiar to a subgenre thats in the same genre they get classified as? metal = all sing, no scream Metalcore = half scream, half sing Deathmetal = all scream, no sing and of course the instrumentals get progressively harder. thier actually alternative rock if you want to be technical about it, i was just saying what it sounded like.

  • @ThexSeventhxSeal You obviously didn't notice I said they were more like metalcore "when they first started out". So the fact that you tried to correct me on what style of music they play now just made you more of an idiot. Death metal vocalists use guttural growls, not screams. So technically you agree that the two are entirely different based on how you defined them. If you compare Dying Fetus to a metalcore band, you'll hear many differences. You have failed three times in your argument.

  • @ParasiticDevourment dude im done arguin with you. not all death metal bands use guttural growls and not all metalcore use screams. as i lay dying and all that remains uses guttural vocals and both are a metalcore band. u failed there. anyway its all a matter of opinion and semantics because metal bands have alot of inflences from multile sources so that its hard to pin down thier "genre". your beginning to bore me. u need to go smoke a joint or drink a beer and not take life so seriously.

  • @ThexSeventhxSeal Hahahaha... Let's see, tell me one straight up death metal band that doesn't use guttural growls. Oh wait, that's impossible because all of them do. The bands you have mentioned don't use gutturals. They used screams, even back then. Also, a band's influences doesn't make it hard to define a genre. You still continued to argue after you said you were done. If you were done, you would have ignored me for good.

  • We can not forget Jimmy, you will always be the best and the inspiration for many of us.

  • No podemos olvidarte Jimmy, siempre seras el mejor y la inspiracion para muchos de nosotros.

  • Avenged Sevenfold is awesome dumbasses

  • 2:59-3:02 rev gettin some scream in

  • COB T-shirt ......NICE ;)

  • only the rev could wear a tie with no shirt on

  • Yeah! M. shadows has a shirt of Cob (Y) Exelent song

  • dude i dont care who you are everyone needs to listen to thsi band

  • my fav band!!!!

  • They are amazing

  • i like their new shit but i have only one thing to say: thank GOD Matt started to scream again

  • they tour 24/7 theyre tired as hell not lazy, and m.shadows is a badass and its called Stage Pressence buddy ya dont like it then gtfo.

  • RIP Rev, I love you dude!. =(

  • R.I.P Jimmy " The Rev" Sullivan...

  • the rev died yesterday

  • yes I agree that they aren´t lazy but just really tired....try everybody to sing and scream 1 or 2 hours without break on the stage and you´ll see that it´ll make you very tired !!!!

  • he's not lazy! he's just tired! what about thinking you had a band and had to leave your hometown and going to the other part of the world!?!? dot you feel dizzy and tired?

  • 3:45 that was a sick one-hander

  • should have stuck to screamin...only thing that makes em good

  • m.shadows is so fucking lazy

  • How is he lazy?

  • listen to the vocals and look at him, he just walks around like hes some bad ass, yet he has toned down the vocals so much, im sorry but they suck so bad now.

  • You've got a point. But I mean, shit, they dont SUCK. I've been a fan since the first album, yeah their music has gone down a level. But they dont suck man.ut I see your point :l

  • I dont really think that they suck as much as the material and arrogance they have sucks. The rev is an amazing guitarist and Synester and Zakki are one of the best guitar partners in music today. Sadly they seem to have bought into corporate greed and their music is just so unlike it used to be.

  • the rev is the drummer you dumb fuck

  • sorry for my error, i was probably stoned listening to sublime, my mind trails off easy when i listen to music that interest me.

  • @msdeadinside

    You are the farthest thing from a AV7x fan i know. think before you make yourself look stupid

    the rev is their drumer, synyster*, Zacky*

  • dude.

    shut the fuck up.

  • dude.

    you dont even know the band members.

  • dude.

    i dont even need to explain myself to you.

  • nothing to explain, you a joke of a person who talks like you know shit when you make it damn obvious you dont. fuck off worthless prick

  • haha, your dumb.

  • i love how you said AV7x lol its A7X idiot....and yu call yurself a fan

  • @Hickk567

    its both, why dont you seach AV7X on google. the 1st result is Avenged Sevenfold's main page.

  • a7x old stuff is better hate to break it to you there old stuff is slightly better but idk i might change my mind when the new album comes out and they tour

  • i love how matt shadows is reppin' bodom. hell yes. oh yeah, a7x kicks ass too.

  • i find the old stuff is better. Diamonds in the Rough is good too though, i just prefer stuff from sounding the seventh trumpet, their self-titled or city of evil.

  • Waking the fallen is fuckn crazy

  • ll Shadows didnt fuck up his throat, its all bullshit. One of their crew members says it in their All Excess Dvd that nothing happened to Matt, they just decided as artists not to scream anymore.

  • He can still scream guys..

    While touring he burst a blood vessel in his throat, so as a precausion he and the band decided not to do it anymore. But he can still scream if he wanted to. Besides the new A7X is better then the old..

  • fuck you,dont you watch all excess

  • dude no its not. a7x self titled was not good at all

  • im wondering how this is a "bad coment" seeing as its the truth......all these fan boys are just to stubborn to believe that a7x were mature enough to get outta the screaming faze, even though they clearly stated that matt can still scream but waking the fallen was gonna be their last aalbum with screams in the all excess dvd

  • Dude, is it just me, or is the Rev a little too revish in this version, I mean, the double bass in the intro is Amazing!

  • seems pretty normal to me.

    :]]

    lol,that`s the rev you`re talking about,of course he`s,(mental problems)..

    xD

  • watch any post 2007 videos. they kick ass live. i saw them live back in february and i was insane. it only doesnt sound good now because shadows was not screaming cus he fucked up his throat. he now does not write any new screaming songs so the one he does a night does not affect him much. they r amazing live, u should try and see htm urself cus they put on one kick ass show.

  • this is when they were cool

  • fuck you dude they still kick ass

  • i still love them, but they got really mainstream sounding. this is when they were pretty fucking badass. they still are cool though

  • ok.

  • actually they are better now then '06, because shadows is screaming again

  • this performance was in Marquee Theater in AZ....i was ther

  • that thing syn does is awesome

  • Listen to The Fucking Rev growl!! Omg orgasmic he is great!!

  • yo im a huge a7x fan and i mean if u guys really look back to the past no one even knew who they were til city of evil came out which kinda pissed me off cuz they won the best new metal artist of the year i mean they've been around since '01 so if i was the media i would restate that again and check their background

  • serious. I was like "best new metal artist of the year? they're not new! this is their 3rd album!"

  • i heard them when sounding the seventh trumpet came out

  • i heard them when my bro showed me them on his ipod lol

  • that was the best one man...

  • its not a betrayal!

    each album they make is a different genre

    so they can appeal 2 every music fan.

    dnt be offended their just being extremely clever with their career =)

  • no their first two albums were metalcore. they're last two albums were just straight metal. I still like their stuff. my point is that there are die hard metalcore fans out there who view their last two albums as "sell outs" and it's true they are. I still like it all, but nothing will ever come close to Waking the Fallen

  • In my honest opinion. Waking The Fallen is the best album they have made, and ever will make. I wouldn't say they sold out incredibly, although their style of music was much more rock oriented and was less metalcore esque.

    I'm a true A7X fan until I die, but that doesn't mean I have to like all their music. Sound The Seventh Trumpet was shit. I would say that's more along the lines of hardcore punk.

    Basically, Waking The Fallen is the best album, followed by City of Evil.

  • man i feel ya sounding of the seventh trumpet had the best drums out of ne of their cds, waking the fallen was the best cd ever made, and city of evil had the best guitar harmonies, but i would love to see them make another album like waking the fallen

  • i think that sounding the seventh trumpet was the best. i'd love to see another album like that...

    that'll never happen.

  • i agree

  • I think the self titled album was the best,cause each song was very different from the other

  • ur gay

  • A7x is without contest the best band ever !!! :D

  • correction was. their last two cds are a betrayal to their metalcore crowd. They are still an extremely talented band, but nothing will ever come close to waking the fallen. that album is a masterpiece.

  • I agree, I think that was their best album, he sings and screams in that album. That's why it is so good. All of the songs are insanely good with awesome riffs on bass and guitar and crazy drums as always because The Rev is the best ever!! =)

  • fuck!!! this guys rocks !!! shadows é bom pra caraio meu!!!

  • dude football i agree with you live in lbc is fuckin amazing their stage is sweet there

  • M. Shadows is wearing a CHILDREN OF BODOM shirt!!

  • City Of Evil is the only album close to metal.

    ^you fail so hard dude, waking the fallen, what this song is fucking from...rofl...and then the onding the sventh trumpet album..haha :D

  • waking the fallen is close to metal chapter four and blinded in chains etc. are closer to metal then city of evil which i own both thats my opinion

  • there not metal anymore

  • they are metal -.-

    they used to be metalcore

  • City Of Evil is the only album close to metal.

  • you mean except Waking the fallen and Sounding the seventh Trumpet....?

  • Are you trying to say that those albums are metal?

  • sounding the seventh trumpet is their best album. bak then ppl actually went apeshit during their concerts, and werent filled with scene kids

  • i just dont get it. people hate this band and put discusting comments about them. they do what they love to do, write music, bands in general hate labels, so stop hating on them cuz they aren't "metal", they do what they love to do, and why is that so bad? they can play all their stuff flawlessly live also, which cannot be said for much bands. and its bad that girls go to the concerts? how is that bad at all, fuck i would love girls to go to my concerts, stupid ignorant pricks who write shit....

  • that was the most correct thing ive ever heard.

  • totally true , its just sad that most people in the world are ignorant and only think what they believe in is right. a7x is great live and they never claimed to be metal, and if anyone says they are emo they are a moron.

  • honestly who cares if they are metal or emo or whatever, labels are for idiots. it doesn't matter to me how they look or dress or whatnot, all i care about is that if they can play their songs outside the studio, which they can, so thats good enough for me. =)

  • agree with you there.

  • @ChezterG not only they can play their stuff flawlessly but they also add some guitar "tricks"(pick strapes, pinch harmonics...) you don't hear in the albums...they are just amazing, RIP rev ;)

  • @ChezterG fuck yeah. So what if their music has evolved throughout these years?Everyone changes. And I'll still support and love them for what they are & whatever they produce. I'm sure I speak for all the TRUE loyal fans of Avenged.

  • @ikaA7x Im a A7X fan, I would still listen to them even if they started to do shit music like pop and such, i would still support em for what they do, coz they will allways be the best band in the world in my eyes!

  • fuckin great shit are they huh??? :))))

  • not gonna lie, i even miss THIS version of a7x, let alone the original. new a7x is just...i dunno, its just not the same. i mean its badass, but it doesnt have what this does.

  • bodoms last good album

  • when someone trash talks on a video it doesn't precisely mean that they watched it, most of the time I pause on gay shit like this then comment, STUPID!!!

  • If all you fuckers think they are so shit, why the fuck you on here, stupid wanks. Go back and listen to boy zone, i really dno't care. Don't you fucking dare mess witha band so big. if you want to stand against, then your making very powerful enemies.

  • Avenged Sevenfold are Metalcore. Anybody want to disagree? fine by me, you can suck my dick. Fucking great band, wanna disagree again? great!! Right after youve sucked my dick, you can fuckoff from this page!! hahahahahaha

  • yeah but now they suck! listen to all the little girls screaming !you sell outs! the lead singer can't even sing the deep parts anymore!

  • listen to live in the lbc and tell me they suck live.

  • yes and it's certainly not this, you must not be a real fan if you haven't seen their interview when they them selves said that they're not metal.

  • really? do you even know what metal is then?

  • if it sucks why did you listen to it

  • FAIL

  • amen

  • Some people have way too much fucking time on their hands. To not like a band and go onto a video of the band to write a message that bad mouths them is retarded. I don't go onto a gay taking back sunday or green day video to say shit about their musical talent. How good can you honestly feel talking shit over the internet anyways?

  • I'm with you.

  • you just need a gay to know another gay...

  • That is completly irrelevant to the topic at hand. Your tough guy comebacks need some help. Don't get mad at me because all the music you listen to lacking in musical talent.

  • SUCK MY DICK FAG UR probably into fucking backstreet boys ur self get ur fucking head out of ur ass hole dickhead

  • haha u fuckin kids think that screaming is talent? ill go out and smoke 6 cartons of cigs in an hour and my throat will be fucked up enought that i can sound like your supposedly "hardcore" bands that have yet to figure out was music really is. m shadows has a rediculous voice that kicks the shit out of any of those bands. he can hit lower notes then them and way higher notes, and anything in between. fuck you guys

  • This version of Unholy Confessions sucks. First time hearing it, I am sad. Obviously it takes talent or he would still scream. Because he didn't properly do it to begin with and messed up his vocals chords. BTW, he isn't that great of a singer. A singer who constantly goes flat singing live.

    Three bands come to mind that still scream and are better singers than Shadows. Dillinger Escape Plan, KSE, All That Remains

  • ur a fucking dumbass shadows sings better then all three of those...not to mention has sold more albums then all of them

  • Not everyone gets the opportunity to have advertisers to help market to teenagers

  • F yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I just saw them for the first time live 2 times in one week and I can tell you that this song fcken sick both times!!! Shads has a great voice!!

    Oh and if you don't like A7X why look at their videos!?! That is the real question!!!

  • total badasses.

    and i dont give a shit how easy that one handed guitar part is, its fucking cool.

  • BODOM ANY DAY

    M SHADOWS IS A NOOB

  • you do better then show me

  • m.shadows likes children of bodom!!!!

  • Omg! Brian was playing the guitar by one hand!!!

  • omg he does that every time they play unholy confessions live

    its not that hard

    you must be easily amused

  • when they started to play the crowd went NUTS!! best song ever...best band ever...Brian and Zack are the Hottest guitarists ever!!

  • why cant he scream?

  • he can he just doesn't want to watch the all access dvd.

  • wow ppl are fucking retarded avenged sevenfold is not following a trend if they were there new album would sound just lyk coe u ppl are dumb they are prolly one of the most musically talented bands out there they dont rewash there sound over and over again and thats waht makes a good band

  • i agree with u a7x3815

  • thankx for agreeing cuz all these ppl who have nothing better to do than shit on a7x are pissing me off yeah i do lyk wtf and stst albums a lil better cuz thats my taste but hell a7x is more talented than i can ever think of being ppl dont relize how hard it is for a band to come up with 4 albums that sound soo different

  • ppl can be retarded

  • sexpanther99 you need to get your facts straight man. they aren't following a trend.. a7x is one of the most original bands out there.. go out and buy there new self titled album.. theres fuckin country songs on there metal, rock almost all genre influenced songs.. so don't say they following a trend dumbass.

  • Haha the lights go on and all you hear is a bunch of teenage emo girls trying to be metal. Its sad really but I see Avenged Sevenfold as the Motely crue of our time.

    -they wear to much make up to be real metal

    -Most of their fans are girls

    -They are following a trend of our time They are not going to be half as popular in `10 years because they are following a trend that will eventually die out.

  • u have no clue wut urtalking about...im not a huge a7x fan but they are extremely unique now then 5 6 yrs ago....and most of their fans are not girls wut so ever...they were just the ones screaming at the time...at last they get girls ad it looks like u dont "sexpanther99"

  • they not trying to be metal u idiot and they arent a trend u dont know anything and u cant just say they are trying to be metal cause they arent trying to be defined in one genre and u clearly dont know metal if u think songs like dear god are metal and not just emo girls like them u clearly dont know shit syn gates n zacky are my idols and i hope to be as good as them at guitar one day and a7x is my favoutire band and i dont care what poeple think of them they are amazing

  • jjkftw is right, Shadow's made a conscious decision to stop screaming.

    Coincidentally, he did undergo surgery for a torn vocal chord of something, but this hasn't affected his ability to scream at all. Apparently he's better than ever...

  • its not poof, he had surgeory.

  • nope. sorry mate. he had absolutely no surgery done. his producer said so himself. shadows decided he wanted to make "singing" albums. so he bitched out. if u dont believe me wikipedia that shit.

  • ayy prick he did get surgery he bursted a blood vessel from so much pressure on his throat

    watch the all excess dvd you fuck head

    anybody can put anything on wikipedia

    people can change things on wiki

    make sure you know things for sure before you type it next time

    okayy "mate"

  • and u dont think they can come up with sum lame, piece of shit excuse why he doesnt scream anymore? u can take ur shitty excuses for his shitplay singing and shove em up ur ass bud.

  • Don't hate on A7X! they are awesome to some and horible to others, but if you don't like them, don't say anything to people who do. Us who do like them will be fine without you.

  • i never said i hated a7x, i fully implied i hate the fact that he bitched out and stopped screaming. Waking the Fallen is a badass mother fuckin album. i just cant stand ppl makin up shit to defend his sorry ass.

  • PEOPLE HE DID NOT GET SURGERY! OK!!! THEY CHOSE NOT TO SCREAM! AND THEY SAY IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT FUCK OFF! OK, so he didn't get surgery.

  • this is sick, going to see a7x atreyu nad bfmv this sunday!

  • Thats nice and all but he doesn't deserve to wear it

  • lol i guess noone can wear band shirts anymore. if m.shadows doesn't deserve to wear one, noone does.

  • noo, i think you're confusing m. shadows with someone musically talented, don't worry it's nothing to be ashamed of, most people do, but then they listen to the music rather then follow the crown and they realize he sucks

  • Yeah I agree, but he used to be cool though, now he couldn't be any fucking gayer, or terrible at singing. He needs to scream.

  • poof cant do his own scream

  • i actually like this view better than pro shot

  • Woah 3:43, Syn coulda knocked out Shadows right there by accident (or hurt really bad).

  • in his concerts it would be better when he performs his old songs with him screaming, and when he performs his new songs he doesnt scream = amazing performance by a7x!! CAUSE HE CAN STILL SCREAM!

  • i agree, i dont mind if his new music doesnt have screaming in, but i wish he would scream old songs, like second heartbeat you cant sing that, it just butchers the song

  • yeah we all do

    but he had surgery and it hurts him when he screams

    he can scream but it puts too much pressure on the blood vessel that bursted so he screams if he wants

  • dude chester can scream but nothun compares to Shadow's old screaming! god i wanna go to the taste of chaos!

  • taste of chaos was awesome, i went on saturday, unholy confessions was amazing

  • A7X & SLIPKNOT 4L!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • it's really fantastic song

  • i like the cob shirt
