  • the good old days......

  • I cant see rev :(

  • thanks for the upload. i love a7x, nightmare or old shit, they're great

  • Wish I could have seen them in these days.

  • Oh my god!Shadows screaming like his on coke!

  • imo, Shadows had the best scream back then.

  • This is indeed a treat.

  • oh man.. he definitely can scream now too but his screaming back then was.. wow! especially in this video

  • the lyrics are different

  • btw wut happened to matt at 2:44? blood vessel jk but still looks bad

  • shit i love these guys now and then but i do miss this. Waking the fallen was the best from these guys

  • is this the original bassist no cause jonny came in after wtf

  • What year was this?

  • i think its eithe 2001 or 2002. at warped tour 03 johnny was with them, so this must be before then.

  • when they were actually good..=(

  • Omg this just made my life.

    this video is so epic.

    i LOVE matt <3

    i wish they still sang like this.

  • ugh i best wish he sings like this!!! i rele miss the old a7x..theyr pretty much lame now..but watevr..

  • this shit just makes me want to cry miss them like this.a7xfan03

  • One of their best songs ever tbh! Waking the fallen is simply a great album!

  • WOW. you guys need to watch All Excess, cause in it they say that Shadows never hurt his throat at all and never got surgery. its just a rumor that people keep feuling on youtube. he can still scream, he just has better technique. it makes much more sense if you know how to scream

  • i thought he got surgery after warped tour cause he was popping blood vessels everyday (he got it removed cause the doctor said if he kept it he wouldnt be able to talk in 5 years, it was in an interview i cant remember which one but then he took singing lessons to get a new technique as you mentioned.

  • nah all that stuff is just youtube rumor bullshit. he never got surgery, never popped any blood vessels. he has a singing teacher...thats pretty much it. All Excess tells it all

  • @Scotthew21 no actually all excess says he can scream now but he always wanted to sing that doesnt mean that he didnt end up having surgery though its just that didnt effect him nto screaming anymore

  • you need to watch all excess again, it never said he got surgery it says that the rumors that he cant scream anymore are bullshit, he did get surgery, but its not why he sings now.

  • i think id fuckign die if they were ever like this again.

    miss them dearly but still love them

    rock on fuckers!

    a7xforlyfe!

  • i like when m.shadows swings his hand

  • a7x must be proud of them selfs...

    they went from a small stage where they cant even move

    to a fuckin huge stage with lots of fans...

    love a7x

  • he did hav surgery if he didnt vessle removed he would go mute he said so him self

  • he wanted to do a cd or 2 with full screaming some with mix and some with none

  • damn these guys used to be so good, what the fuck happened?

  • @suckafartfrommyass they are way more talented now at every single instrument and the studi vocals are way better just not matt shadows live screaming

  • if he doesnt know the lyrics is because the released the album in 2003 and this happened in 2002 so the album wasnt ready yet xD

  • matt...did u forget the lyrics to ur own song???lol jk...i love a7x to death...

  • this video of them live is amazing, i liek the new shit, but the old shit way easily infinitely better

  • Tottaly Agree with yer :D

  • dude theyre amazing live i wish they would still scream but there new music is good i still will always like the old stuff better

  • oh i thought he couldnt scream anymore cuz of him having a surgery or removing his tonsils or something like that

  • he had to have throught surgury cuz he damned his vocal cords...something like that

  • where did u hear that from cuz its not true at alll.....he never had surgery

  • he did hav surgery but it ddnt stop him screaming

  • he can still scream like that but it just doesnt sound like that because someone taught him to scream some pro screamer dude? but he doenst just like scream any more if u iknow what i mean

  • did it seem like they changed the lyrics or somethin?

  • i love his voice in waking the fallen album..but i love his voice in "avenged sevenfold" album too..damn dude, A7X still the great band....big applause for them...

  • matt cant scream like that anymore ;[ cuz of his surgery

  • no he cant,the last time was his cd waking the fallen,he cant scream like in the songs unholy confessions and secound heartbeat

  • dude is this back at chain reaction after there first tour jsut as they got SYn :o omfg WoW and did u get this vid?

  • damn, a7x at its best... i still love this band, but they need to come back to this... Avenged Sevenfold *album* was good, but this is so much better... waking the fallen, ftw

  • Shadows wont come back to this because he dont wanna damage his throat again he burst a blood vessel in his throu and it cudda killed him durin surgery and stopped him speakin forever if it wasnt a sucesful surgery so he dont wnah go bak, but the rest have all agreed to move on, n i must say I think the best of avenged is waking/city half an half both fantastic

  • no he didnt, fucking farey tale story.

    he cna scream just doesnt want to which sucks. he's a better screamer then singer

  • wow.they look so much different.dam.i like the looks better now.i still like their music now too.ha but now they are hott.

  • back when they were good...

  • So true...

  • agree

  • shit is fuckin badass. you can tell this is old, the lyrics are different

  • Damn old vid, old song but great song. Look how shitty that venue is and Zacky doesnt even have tatoos yet. I think thats their old bassest too. They have come a long ass way.

  • hahaha, wheres the ink?? look at Z's pink arms haha

  • bEST SONG EVER!

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!

  • amazing performance<3

  • I love this song... and i like their screaming... BUT REMEMBER Matt HAD to stop because he broke a vocal cord and had to have surgery on it... still their stuff is good though... you can tell that Matt sounds different now...

  • he was screaming in a concert i went to in october 2007...

    kinda makes me wonder but w/e their new stuff is good too

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT LOVE THIS!

  • lol they should've had someone come in with a flamenco guitar for the breakdowns. that's like the best part of this song!

  • I personally like the newer stuff just as much, but thanks for contributing your two cents

  • Syn is in the background. you can barely see him and he had short hair back then.

  • he can still scream, they just dont want to do it any more, why i dont know its what they wanted to do as artist. i still love them, i love city of evil and the new one. good music. i saw them live. truly amazing. house of blues in new orleans was the shit, i hope to god they come back. they played this one live and i could have sworn he was screamin on some parts, but on otheres i could tell he wasnt. waking the fallen was without question there best album tho. there still awsome.

  • Man Shadows had the best scream ever!

  • waking the fallen is the greatest album ever recorded

  • I totally agree.

    But they're all great =D.

  • Thank you for posting this. I was looking so hard for a video where Shadows actually screams. lol

    I do like their new stuff just as much tho. A7X 4life!

  • The song is better when its not all screaming. the mix of both makes it so much better.

  • is Syn playing lead in this vid?

  • yes.

  • I wish he still did this. The screaming is amazing but the singing parts are actually better than the new albums (City of Evil, Avenged Sevenfold).

  • Ya agreed.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG IT TOTALLY ROCKS DUDE

  • his screaming was good. but the singing in the new album is good too. i can do with any

  • i miss this sevenfold...theyve changed...sooo much

  • AH!!!! I LOVE HIS SCREAMING!!!!!!!!!!!! but the lyrics r different than in the actual song wen he sang this one...... oh wells

  • Shadows...what a fucking badass

  • its such a good band but they play really gay now all soft they are all amazing they just need to be like the old days

  • I cant say enough for how amazing this song and video are !!!!!!!!

  • lol he cant scream anymore =( he screamed too much and had to have surgery or sumtin

  • nah...that was all fake, if u havnt seen the dvd (seeing that you havnt) that was a rumor started by some dipshit, he just didnt feel like screaming anymore.

  • thats not true. watch all excess. he says that they want to sing, not scream

  • Difinately Pratcie, not even the true lyrics form the album version, great band, great music, but this was before they hit big

  • gotta love the duet in the end!

  • WOW, The drums on this are brutal!

  • I think it's practice. But i dunno how

    Shadows have a screaming coach :) But before that, he got an amazing voice

    i think you just have to scream a lot, and care about your vocal cords ^^

  • I think waken the fallen was an amazing album, however so is city of evil, and anyone who talks shit on that cd is obviously not a musician. I wish he screamed a little more, but they're all amazing and the best band hands down.

  • Hey i've got a question.. do u have to be born with such capabilities to be able to scream like that? Or is just practise? If so, how do we practise?

  • this was a year before waking the fallen was out

    haha im sure they had different lyrics at that time

  • you're probably fat.

  • FUCK city of evil

    they should've made

    more albums like waking the

    fallen anyone agree?

  • I Agree 100%

  • hell yeah

  • In this video, it shows that he's an awesome an singer, but not very high pitched (alough he is an AMAZING screamer) he's always trying to hit really high notes, I bet after that he noticed that its better for him to sing in a bit deeper voice

  • youre on crack his high notes were amazing in the waking the fallen age, not like the axl rose impersonator he is now

  • this is a great 5 star vid, real treat for true a7x fans

  • lol matt is so hammered in this video

    he's not singing the right lyrics at times

  • OMG they are soo sweet drunk lolz.

    shut up dude. they had different lyrics at this time.

    i like the musical a7x not the group of alcoholics

  • i love this, finnaly i screaming video, like if u search unholy confessions or like radiant eclipse you will never find a screaming verson, this is a golden find.

  • hey... pay attention... it said he got a MINOR surgery! but he CAN still scream...

  • at 2:08 is he singing something different? in the CD he says. "all i can see is a place i wanna be, suddenly my life was so free. leaves at my feet will fall to the ground. their echoes are reaching my ears. night's coming fast, sun's going down, but keep away from me." i'm pretty sure that's wut he says in the CD. and NOT in the video.

  • what the hell he didnt need surgery he never got it.. it says in his dvd he can still scream his voice is fine

  • "Almost Easy" "Big Bear" "Brompton Cocktail" "I Wont See You Tonight Part 3" "Critical Acclaim" "Dear God" "Forever Loved" "Gun Slinger" "Scream" "Last Goodbye" its called avenged sevenfold its released 16th october '07
  • no wander he busted his blood vesil that sounds like it hurts

  • yea buddy he didn't bust a vessel. he can still scream. just watch the new DVD. it explains it. he chooses not to scream anymore

  • Yes And No, I Think They Plan On Putting A Bit On The New Album.

  • the best

  • Fucking sick! Its not a surprise he needed surgery. That shit is fucking raw man.

  • ...he didnt get surgery. Shadows is fine. Watch All Excess, he chooses to not scream, but he's gotten lessons and can now scream better than he ever could before.

  • but if u watch their new movieall excess they say that the whole surgeroy 2 his trhroat just contributed 2 his abilty 2 sing they even sed that they wanted 2 scream (stst) then scream a lil(waking the fallen) and then just sing (city of evil) but his voice thing just made him not be able 2 scream in the old songs at concerts etc.

  • they definately use to show a lot more of emotion on stage.. now it seems like they just play the song, and walk around (except for johny christ, he headbangs to everything :D!)

  • One word: Wow! :D (just LOVEEEEEE this video)

  • I loved it, it just screwed me up because i'm so used to the WTF version.

  • i liked there old stuff like this better

  • no it was stst

    read it on their band forum

    he said it himself he messed up during stst

    got surgery and headed back out to finish the tour

  • troyh34, he messed up his vocal cords after waking the fallen, not STST

  • i mean he blew it while touring promoting stst

  • he blew the vocal chord during sounding the seventh trumpet

    him screaming in wtf is after the surgery

  • ahhhhh i wish they will scream on their new album thats coming out...

    i hope matt chooses to

    this is so good

  • He can't scream like that any more, because he blew a vocal chord, and it doesn't sound the same any more. That is why they don't play this song anymore, because there is too much screaming for them replace. It is not a choice.

  • umm he got a vocal coach and he can scream now.

    learn the facts

  • Zeppelin0731 is actually pretty wrong. He can scream. He, and the band chose to move away from that genre, and more toward the music styles of their influences. So YEAH YOU"RE WRONG. It was a choice. He still kicks ass.

  • wow, can you say dumbshit, its not their genre anymore, one of, i think, Zacky's quotes was "We don't want to contribute to that noise pollution anymore"

  • awesome !

  • Bah, purely Amazing. ;D

  • I was thinking it was daemon...but I wasn't sure...

  • yar it could me never really that dude face in the video..

  • So who's on bass in this one?

  • It's some dude name dameon ash i think..

  • Or it is justin sane[not the bassist form Anti-flag]

  • M. Shadows has great vocals for their old metalcore songs. (from this video and not modern)

  • no sleeve on zacky

  • nah...I cant find any screaming ch4 vids. Theres one of unholy confessions from '04 but you can barely hear matt cuz the crowd is singing over him

  • I wish he'd stay in one place... watching him go back and forth is making me feel nauseas o_O

  • this was the first lyrics they wrote. they changed it when the album came out

  • how old is this? the only person that looks like they belong is shadows.

  • M.Shadows And Zachy...IF u see on the right hand that Zachy V...

  • technically its my left....

    but i can see thats zacky. but like, he looks like a 10th grader, nothing like he does now. its funny. im saying Shadows is the only person in the whole video that resembles himself now.

  • ok sweet yar kinda off

  • what, is that someone's basement or something?

    thats hardcore old school!

  • lol...grab ur throat in pain then keep screaming...thats y u lost ur voice dummy lol

  • lol

    sooo bad are the lyrics

    but A7X FOR FUCKING LIFE

  • love their old actual metal stuff, m shadows's voice rocked back then

  • WHAT THE FUCK??? HES USIN DIFFERENT LYRICS IN THE SINGING PART!!!das weird

  • lyrics are soo off great song tho

  • no , your not high

  • On the bridge, it sounds like different lyrics. Am I insane?

  • avenged sevenfold rocks the album waking the fallen rocks they just the best

  • He sings really good in this video before he got surgery. its too bad he blew a vessel in his throat now he doesnt sing as well. At least hes still singing and didnt think he was to good to stop

  • What does Rmenissions mean???

    anyway I love this video

  • well at least he still sings cos some assholes dunt care bout their fans and give up singin jus cos they blew a blood vessel.=] m.shadows is nice like that. . and zacky is weeelll hawt

  • Dude this vid is freakin sweet cuz its the only vid of m. shadows screamin. Try to find another one like chapter four or unhloy confessions.

  • Sweet..Dude I try my best to get hold of those video..but i can't promise i get them..

    Keep Avenged SvevenFold In Your Heart..

    Metal Is Immortal

  • Thats what I call melodic screamin unlike all that Trivium shit.

  • Hey, screw you, Trivium is the shit, not is shit. Besides they YELL, not scream.

  • is that dameon ash cant tell hes to far in the dark

  • the lyrics are definatly different but i like it anyway there is

  • Yeah I know that... I just wish he would scream the old songs from Waking the Fallen and Sounding the Seventh Trumpet and stuff, now he sings them and they sound so... Augh... I just don't like that, but I like their new stuff just the same.

  • Syn and Zacky said in an interview for Guitar Player magazine that they changed their style of music because they were trying to take examples from their influences (Pantera, Maiden and Metallica mostly) and realized their influences didn't have to scream to get big so why should they? Though M. Shadows blowing his vocal chords mighht have been the biggest wake up call.

    Their old screamo stuff was good, I love Waking the Fallen, but City of Evil is just as A7X as their first two.

  • he did change the lyrics for waking the fallen

    guessing this was a demo thing or w/e like that guy said up there somewhere ^

  • yeah, it does sound like thats what he says during the "quiet" part.. maybe he changed the lyrics later?

  • honestly,im for a7x all the way,but COE aint their best work..im being biase cuz the record before that(waking the fallin)was flawless but watever,they still rock!\m/

  • very true that he had throat surgery due to singing and all...but even M. Shadows said that is not the reason why they changed their style of music

  • Loving wathcing the bass guitar playing at 4:14 :D and the Solo :D

  • M.Shadows is the best singer ever...

    I love his clean voice at 1:58

  • If Shadows blew out his vocal chords on this performance on this performance, was their a major Waking the Fallen Tour or what? a WTF tour anyone?

  • Incase you didn't know...Matt Shadows had throat surgery due to the fact that he blew out his vocal cords during THIS EXACT PERFORMANCE! (Hense the knew style of singing on City of Evil)...If you watch, his voice distorts while screaming, he grabs his throat, but still finishes his set...Now that's a loaked out mutha fucka! Talk shit on him now you pussies!

  • he didn't blow them on this performance, i don't know when it was but it was in '04, not now, cause this was early '02 and if you look from warped tour '03 he sings like turn the other way exactly like the album (sounding the seventh trumpet), only in '04 if you've seen "we come out at night" on here his vocals sound strained so it must have happened around there

  • Ok then I'm mistaken, but you can clearly see the problem with this throat beginning here.
