Ok Idk if he screams or not because I just got into A7x but Waking the Fallen is my favorite album. My question is, will they still perform Unholy Confessions and others from the album on their current tours, our just their new ones?
@WillLykins They'll play Unholy Confessions, but that's pretty much it from Waking the Fallen. None from STST, just a few from CoE, just a few from Self-Titled, and the majority from their newest album.
he said in numerous interviews he chose to stop screaming..its in his record deal that the last self titled album and this new album wont have screaming because he wants to sing more
you're full of it. show me an interview where he says that he can scream like he used to and that he chose to stop screaming.
the only reason he chose to stop screaming was because of the SURGERY that he had. yes i'll send you and anyone else an interview where he says he had surgery from screaming that lightened his voice & made it almost impossible to hit his hi notes. getting the surgery resulted in him not being able to scream the same. he screams but its different now. dont spread rumors.
@spyhunter1223 its on the all access dvd. the band after sounding the seventh trumpet wanted to stop screaming, but were too afraid to make a huge style change, they didnt know if they could write songs without screaming. matt knew that he wanted to stop screaming completely on the record after that, with was COE. self titled had very little screaming. there has been rumors that there will be screaming on the new album coming out in june
i know that he stopped screaming b/c of choice. that's not what i'm contesting. i have the all excess dvd and it's great. i love it. however, he doesn't say that he can scream like he used to, and if he could, he wouldn't sound so different when he screams now. he had surgery. that, as well as a desire to stop screaming lead to the a7x we all know and love today. having said that, i still think stst and wtf are better albums than coe and the selftitled. but i love em all :)
@spyhunter1223 yea it may not be the same anymore, but search avenged sevenfold eternal rest and chapter four 2009 and you can hear that his screaming is up to par again.
im well aware of that. its still great. he uses more air, so it not only sounds good, but it can't damage his throat and impair his voice. which is great.
...are you kidding me? dude, i saw them not long ago and they did Unholy Confessions and it sounded EXACTLY like from the album. their music changes every album.
old a7x shits all over the newer shit. and m. shadow cant scream that much anymore ever since that incident. he still tries though........and is still amazing
he can scream he just dusent wana. the op on his throat dint do out to his voice apart from the nasaly effect he gets wen hits high notes these days. And i agree old is better but one day he may bring it back
from what ive been told he was screaming unholy confessions, like going all out and his throat started to bleed. but some people think that he just stopped
btw the surgery wasn't a big deal and was like 3 months later it was just some quick minor thing I don't know the whole story and I miss read your comment I thought you had said he did have the surgery and couldn't scream any more sorry lol
they always said they were going to have one screaming album, one screaming/singing album, and one singing album. i don think shadows can still scream
are you all aware that after waking the fallen he had to go under surgery and vocal coaching due to damage to his vocal cords..
but they werent as hardcore in city of evil as they always said they would make a less metalcore album.. but apparently his vocal cords are as good as if not better thn bfor
dude he never had surgery that was a lie he made the decision himself when they made STST that in city of evil he would only sing he never had surgery that is all bullshit and his vocals improved definitely
How come no one believes that he didnt have surgery? They need to fucking watch all excess. He says it. He had voice problems once and couldnt do long shows once but he never has surgery. At least someone ehre isnt retarded.
if you call avenged sevenfold a sell out you are not a true fan. yes he doesnt scream like he use to but the can still rock. and the last concert i went to at the albany armory he screamed just fine. sometimes he just has to take a break. we dont want him to lose his voice lol
he can still scream. and no their not sell outs. their singer decided from the very begining that their first album would have alot of screaming and as time went on, he scream less and less, until not at all. but yeah he doesnt want to risk loosing his voice, so thats another reason why he doesnt scream anymore
yea, and then when they play walk he says i know who to get a hold of if i lose my voice, goes to show u that he's well aware of his voice problems, he's gonna be don't screaming as hardcore as he did in these albums
But indeed, Shadows does not scream as much as earlier... just listen to second heartbeat, half the screams are sung... . But still A great Musician !!
Yeah, ur right, the periode 2 years ago.. he sounded pretty creepy... didn't scream at all, and didn't sing very good either... but I meant the time before City of evil, but i guess he way just burned out or so.
thank God lol, someone other than me noticed that...
it's amazing to me how many people this song connected with though, people like my mother who hate this sort of music love this song, lyrically, musically... it's just good. That's the hallmark of bands like A7X... check out more than the singles though... songs like Strength of the World...
i'm probably olde than you..ur prolly jsut another dumb metalhead..waking the fallen was a good album..i'm not saying it wasnt..but c'mon..it was sloppy..had NO bass..and the screaming was unoriginal..ur prolly just another angry metalhead that thinks that as soon as a band stops screaming theyr sell outs..their 2 previous albums show great improvement in their musicianship..you must be pretty dumb or close minded not to see that
i agreee, BUUUTTT i have tosay, waking the fallen was AMAZING! i dont think it was very well recorded tho. and yea, there was NO bass, But it was an AMZING album.. not a bad song. but there has DEFINATLY been improvement in their muscianship. A7X IS AMAZING!
zacky played a carvin, (the black one with death bat) then he played the red schecter. Yea, syn played Ibanez and a Parker Fly and a White Gibson Les Paul then a schecter C-1 FR then his customs.
I love how probably most of the responses to this video are nu-jack fans who just hopped on the a7x bandwagon in 05, or even worse, this past october.
haha i only started liking them this january does that make me wrong or sumshit see the fact was i thought metal was a load of shit just noise till just recently lol
and u kno see if you look at them back when this was made nd them look at them now back then they looked like faggy emo kids make up nd nail polish these days part from zacky they all look more metal
people have been slitting their wrists before emos were a trend or whatever it is. So, it's kinda unfair to people who slit their wrists who arent emo. Some of them have REAL problems.
Syn was completely crazy in this ahahha. omfg i love this video
