I think people are in denial. M. Shadows simply cannot scream anymore. If he can still scream, then why wouldn't he at least still stcream on the songs from STST and WTF??? Those songs obviously don't sound as good with singing. Also, what makes it really obvious is he SINGS differently not. When he sang on the older albums, it wasn't the whiny type of voice he has now. Face it, he irreversibly fucked up his voice. I read somewhere he was told he'd permanently lose his voice if he kept screaming
how about go look at my vid that has shadows in a interview he was popping blood vessels evry night after concerts so he went to a doctor in boston and he told him if he kept screaming he would not be able to talk in five years plus they planned on singing
And there is completely nothing wrong with his voice. He had surgery on his throat and then got vocal lessons. hes an even better screamer now if uv seen him at recent concerts wer hes startin to do it again. for any non-believers go watch the dvd all excess
the guy who commented on the C0E fan has a point. the guy who made the comment of sayin WTF could have been alot better is an idiot. WTF was perfect. His screaming is amazin and there actually are uses of it in city of evil it just isnt as brutal as STST or WTF.
ya its to high for him, and it does start to hurt after a while of screaming, you can figure that out when you sing the whole sounding the seventh trumpet album,Xo
Why are people arguing about "old" and "new" fans?
We all had to start somewhere.
I got into them because i heard beast and the harlot on tv...so i guess that makes me a poser then? lmfao
But still.
Why cant people just accept a fan as a fan?
And im probably gonna get slaughtered for this but i dont think matt can scream as much because of the long term effects of screaming....Maybe a few here and there but it doesnt bother me.
Whether if he cant or still can scream doesnt really matter cos he is still a great singer and they are still Avenged Sevenfold. whether old or new fans, still are fans of A7X so why argue over something like that. you cant deny that COE brought in more fans. WTF is the best album for me but COE kicks ass. Shadows has improved so much on his singing in that album and even better in this new self titled album. anw all i wanted to say is AVENGED SEVENFOLD ROCKS! peace all
You obviously became a fan during City of Evil with a ridiculous statement like that. Also there is zero proof that he can scream better than ever. What recent works has he done with screaming...NOTHING. Only one little intro scream on Critical Acclaim thats about it and there nothing as brutal as WTF or S7T. He said this new album is geared towards "older fans" and its bullshit. It's City of Evil Part 2.
what teh fuck are you on about? shadows can scream better than ever, it's just the fact tht he was unbelieveably shit at it before, thats why waking the fallen could have been alot better if he just singed it all, nd sounding the seventh trumpet was just shit, the guy is just an amazing singer, and he chooses to do tht, cause it's better than shitty screaming!
I love a7x, but Shadows is a stone face lier when he says he can still scream, but chooses not to. If you have any knowledge about vocals you can clearly tell he damaged his voice from watching any live performance 05 and up. He gets that stupid toad voice and fills in lyrics with YEEEAHEEYAEYAYAAA way to much. Good examples: Mudvayne and Trivium, both can't scream anymore.
you dont know shit, i saw them in La oct 29th and he screamed pretty fucking well. not like stst but more like the screaming on waking the fallen. they are amazing live, go see em and figure it out for yourself, dont base your opinion on old youtube videos.
I saw them last year, and they were amazing. And even though M Shadows cant scream like that anymore, its great just to watch videos like this so you can see what all they really are capable of. I wish i could have seen a show like this, but you gatta give them major credit for still writing music and playing even though he messed up his vocal cords. They are amazing.
appearantly m shadows didn't mess up his vocal chords. in the all excess dvd it says that he just wanted city of evil to be all singing and no screaming. idk how true that is or what to believe but i know avenged sevenfold is freakin' amazing no matter what!
because like shads said himself, hes saving his scream for the new album so it can be at its best, watch the all access dvd you'll learn everyting from the band
I love this version more than the one on the album! It's more loud, they should have done it when Shadows' voice was still okay like now it's awsome!
And for the people who keep on saying that Shadows' can't scream anymore he still can except he's choosing not too because it's alot more easyier for him to get vocal strains and he only has a limited of time for singing now so he's giving it his best but his voice is messy now : ( But I still like it, just like before. reply back!
matt can still scream! the only reason they made that bullshit up about his vocal cord is coz they went onto a major label when they got there new record deal. He can scream fine! he does it live all the time!
well m. shadows cant scream anymore he can for about 20 seconds, cuz his voice strains out from surgery ive seen them live now its ok i wish i saw them when they were like this tho :(

he chose not ot scream..
go look at some vids from 2008 you can hear him scream in unoholy confessions a little, and in second heartbeat/
and he sings no STST anymore spet for to end the rapture, witch has no screaming anyway.
and he only hadthe whiny kinda thing in city and a little in the new self titled albu, it was the way he sang it. they soudn different every album.

Most singers voices end up damaged one way or another so obviously matt's voice is put under alot more strain than it was let's say 6 years ago.
