I'm pretty sure... I'll have to watch it again though, to refresh my memory.

Wow, I'd never heard that song before and had no idea what the hell was going on in that video. After some research I can assuredly say that video was tits as. Awesome song.

FUCK. This makes me so sad. I miss Jimmy so much. I really wish I had gone to see them when I had the chance.

Same here. And we will never get another Pinkly Smooth release... $:-\$

PuffyPat · « **Reply #493 on:** August 29, 2011, 11:47:29 PM »

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH. PINKLY SMOOTH!!! I forgot all about them. DAMN IT. DAMN IT ALL TO HELL.

Syn should break out and do the intro solo to Mezmer during the show.

About 1/4 of the crowd would shit bricks.

PuffyPat · « **Reply #495 on:** August 30, 2011, 06:33:21 PM »

I would say even less.

ZKX-2099 · « **Reply #496 on:** August 30, 2011, 08:31:34 PM »

People would at least appreciate the awesome guitar work regardless if they know it was from Pinkly Smooth.

And the small awesome percentage of people (like me) that did know would feel that much better.

PuffyPat · « **Reply #497 on:** August 31, 2011, 03:41:44 PM »

Definitely. I think I'm gonna go listen to them right now.

Last August, vocalist M. Shadows has stated that Avenged Sevenfold intends to take a break for up to seven months after they conclude their remaining sheduled touring dates. The band has been touring for the past year to promote their fifth studio record entitled 'Nightmare', which was released in July 2010.

He tells Billboard.com "We've always taken a long time (between albums), and everyone's told us we're stupid for doing that. But I think bands burn themselves out. Look what happened to Disturbed; those are good friends of ours, and you just get caught up in the do a record, tour for two years, do a record, tour for two years... We're very cautious of making sure that everybody has their time. We need to go home... And make sure everybody's mentally in the right spot to do a new record."

He also states that although the band is geting along with touring drummer Arin Ilejay they wish to be cautious about making decisions on their replacement permanent drummer.

That sounds great to me. The guys have been touring for months on end with little to no breaks, and all in support of an album they wrote right after their best friend died. I definitely feel like they need some time off.

I'm also hoping Arin will bring some creativity and influence to the writing, so they'll keep him. He's a really solid drummer.

Shadows says some of the surprising fan choices include "M.I.A." from 2005's "City Of Evil,", "I Won't See You Tonight, Pt. 1" from 2003's "Walking The Fallen" and the epic "Save Me" from "Nightmare".

Probably about the top 3 songs right there for me.

chrisbDTM · « **Reply #501 on:** September 04, 2011, 01:50:38 PM »

MIA is kinda weak, would pick Betrayed or Strength of the World from COE

Heretic · « **Reply #502 on:** September 04, 2011, 02:34:33 PM »

Sidewinder wins all.

None of those are surprising.

How was IWSYT surprising?!?! That song is so fucking awesome!

zxlkho · « **Reply #505 on:** September 05, 2011, 03:26:55 PM »

IWSYT is easily the best thing they've ever done, both parts included.

Heretic · « **Reply #506 on:** September 18, 2011, 03:02:13 PM »

So I'm doing a run-through of WTF, CoE, S/T, DITR, and Nightmare right now, and everything is still amazing.

I was thinking it would be really interesting for A7X to do a concept album. Nightmare was originally intended to be one, so on their next album perhaps they'll go in that direction. I'd love to see it.

Zantera · « **Reply #507 on:** September 18, 2011, 03:33:26 PM »

Self-titled is my favorite, songs like A little Piece of Heaven, Brompton Cocktail, Critical Acclaim and Gunslinger are really great.
Nightmare was pretty good though, I like the older albums, but I haven't listened to them in a while.

Heretic · « **Reply #508 on:** October 18, 2011, 05:50:45 PM »

Listening to Waking the Fallen right now, I always forget how much of a masterpiece this album is. The vocals are amazing.

Someone should do an A7X survivor.

This thread is almost dead... so I'll resurrect it with a question:

I want to buy Nightmare and I think I once saw it in digipack but now I don't see nothing about it in internet so... did I really see it or it was only released in jewel case?

Thanks!

Jewel case only as far as I know, you probably saw some mini Japanese LP replica or something

So... I didn't buy it when I saw it veeeeeeeeeeeeeery cheap because I wanted the digipack edition... and there's not digipack edition. Yuhu....

Thank you!

Dimitrius · « **Reply #513 on:** January 08, 2012, 10:58:37 AM »

Is Arin a full member now? Or is he still in like a "hired gun" status?

ZKX-2099 · « **Reply #514 on:** January 09, 2012, 08:03:14 AM »

Probably somewhere in between.

I should also mention that 4:00 AM is a fucking masterpiece and really should have been on the album.

Frontman M Shadows has told Kerrang! that the band are set for a break… to write their new record!

“We’ll do this run of shows and then we’ll take some time off, ” M Shadows says of the bands forthcoming North American gigs which include a performance at Metallica’s Orion Festival. “It won’t be like a hiatus – we’re just going to slowly write the next record and then when we’re ready we’ll record it.”

“To tell you the truth, we have some very cool things in the works that I can’t talk about right now,” continues the singer. “We’re going to be doing something that no other band has ever done. The fans will be very happy!”

All of this, of course, means the band will be hidden away from public view for a while – and M Shadows says it could be a year before the band are back in the UK.

“This is our time to get back into Avenged Sevenfold, and I’m sure by next summer it’ll all be going again,” he explains. “We’ll probably come over to the UK and the first thing we do will be festivals. Last years tour and Download were so amazing, we decided to leave it at that. But we’ll come back with the new record and make it really special!”

I can dig it. City of Evil + Waking the Fallen style, please.
