avenged sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold also known as A7X. Avenged Sevenfold is a metal band with hardcore and thrash metal. The band was formed in the summer of 1999 in Huntington Beach, California.

The title Avenged Sevenfold is taken from the biblical story of Cain and Abel in Genesis 4:15(NIV). The Avenged Sevenfold band was formed while its members were still in high school.

Following are five members of Avenged Sevenfold band:

* M. Shadows - Lead Vocals
* Synyster Gates - Lead Guitar
* Zacky Vengeance - Rythm Guitar
* Johnny Christ - Bass
* The Reverend - Drums

The first album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, was recorded when the members of Avenged Sevenfold band were just 18 years old.

Their next album entitled Waking the Fallen was well received and generally considered a successful sophomore effort as evidenced by a praising reference in Rolling Stone magazine. In June 7, 2005, their latest album City Of Evil was released.

All members of Avenged Sevenfold were kicked out of Catholic school. The predominant lyrical themes are despair, loneliness and Apocalypse.

All five band members show tremendous ability with their respective instruments, and M. Shadows's vocal skills and good looks prompted Rolling Stone magazine to compare him to an amalgam of Elvis and Axl Rose.

Avenged Sevenfold's most popular songs are:

* Streets
* Turn The Other Way
* Thick And Thin
* The Art Of Subconscious Illusion
* Shattered By Broken Dreams
* Forgotten Faces

After having had such an amazing experience recording my drum tracks for the new Avenged Sevenfold album, we all knew it would be awesome if I'd be able to do some touring with the band after its release...
I am happy to say that the timing worked out perfectly that my touring cycle with Dream Theater (and Transatlantic) was coming to an end just as A7X's was scheduled begin!
(well, perfect for everyone except my poor family!) : )
Although I wish I could stay on board with A7X in a more permanent capacity, the reality is that I am committed to Dream Theater as my main priority (that is my baby after all!), and I will need to resume work with DT to start a new album at some point in 2011....
However, I will be able to join my brothers in Avenged Sevenfold for at least the duration of their touring throughout 2010...and hopefully this will give them the time to continue to heal and get comfortable back on the road....
You can look at me like the band's "rebound drummer" to buy them some time until they are comfortable and ready to make a commitment to somebody new for full-time relationship in their future!
In the meantime, I am real excited to hit the road with the boys...to bring my drumming from their new album to life on stage and to honor The Rev with all of their older material....
(Hey, do I get to have a cool, bad-ass stage name now???) : )
C-ya out there,

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS

"Beast And The Harlot"

This shining city built of gold, a far cry from innocence,
There's more than meets the eye round here, look to the waters of the deep.
A city of evil.
There sat a seven-headed beast, ten horns raised from his head.
Symbolic woman sits on his throne, but hatred strips her and leaves her naked.
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The city dressed in jewels and gold, fine linen, myrrh and pearls.
Her plagues will come all at once as her mourners watch her burn.
Destroyed in an hour.
Merchants and captains of the world, sailors, navigators too.
Will weep and mourn this loss with her sins piled to the sky,
The Beast and the Harlot.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.

The day has come for all us sinners.
If you're not a servant, you'll be struck to the ground.
Flee the burning, greedy city.
Lookin' back on her to see there's nothing around.

I don't believe in fairytales and no one wants to go to hell.
You've made the wrong decision and it's easy to see.
Now if you wanna serve above or be a king below with us,
You're welcome to the city where your future is set forever.

She's a dwelling place for demons.
She's a cage for every unclean spirit,
every filthy bird and makes us drink
the poisoned wine to fornicating with our kings.
Fallen now is Babylon the Great.
[x2]

AVENGED SEVENFOLD LYRICS

"Dear God"

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can't help but wish that I was there
Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road
There's no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can't help but think of the times I've had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold
when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is
to hold her when I'm not around
when I'm much too far away
We all need the person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I'd stayed
'Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired
I'm missing you again oh no
Once again
