man the good ol' days... i remember playing a backyard show with them in san pedro ca. must have been around late 2002/early 2003 or so. i just know it was before they blew up. i still have the shirt they gave me that has a guy on the back of it hardcore dancing hahaha. nothing can ever compare to this album. waking the fallen was alright, but it will never measure up to this one. none of the albums ever will. so much aggression and passion. oh well, i guess all good things come to an end.
@drummaxboi YES!!!! people don't understand that. a band should be liked for their skill/ talent/ style. if you like the new stuff, but not so much the old stuff, then you should praise them for moving forward and making improvements so to speak. it took ME a while to get into the harder old a7x stuff, but i got into it cuz i love the band.
I love all their music the old and the new, because Matts voice is so beautiful so the fact that he sings now and uses it more is awesome, however with the old songs, i do admit that the harder sort of instrumentals are more satisfying and, however there new shit is still fuckin' amazing and i have no doubt that their new album will be a massive success as well, I love this guys, always have and always will do a7x foREVer... R.I.P Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan :(
lol, it happened again at 1:35! It must have been a really bad strap because a stage manager had to get him a new one, but this has increased my respect for johnny even more, because when he started to play again, the song just sounded so much better and heavier. Keep it alive Johnny
The Rev puts many-a-drummer to shame with this song alone.. I mean GOD DAMMIT MAN! He's beating his drums brainless and this is only their first album!
@crazybastard6661 i know right its so sick!! i think i listen to the pre-view like 30 times lol i can't wait for the COD map packs to come out so i can listen to it while killing zombies.
@drummaxboi dude, i've been listening to them since there demo. i hate there new shit (exept for a select few songs) but i still respect them so much, just because someone says that there new stuff sux doesn't mean there a hater of the band, and they are still a really good band. I love Ax7 so don't be a hater to people who like the old sound and have an opinion on there new content. Sorry if this pisses you off alittle, but it was irritating me and had to say something. Cya Dude.
@btbamftw yes it is true that he would have lost if voice if he kept screaming the way he did, UNLESS he got surgery to remove a blood vessel which he did do. if u need any prove pm me and ill send u a link to the video where he says it himself
@fausimo he didn't kill any thing, he just wanted to stop screaming. if you don't believe me go watch avenged sevenfold all excess, their producer even said it. Also matt is starting to do a little bit of more screaming, go listen to God Hates Us he screams the hell out of that song and also he screams live at times too.
Actually Damon had a very short touring stint with them, if any, and Johnny skipped a few weeks of high school to tour with them on Warped. Just a friendly tip :P
ok. i love old a7x. love it. but i hate the people who say they sold out. yes, they got famous. yes they got rich. but ya know what- who gives a shit? a true fan would be happy that their favorite band gets success in all parts of the world. i like their new stuff too, just a different genre. M. Shadows even said before Waking the Fallen came out that he wanted to do one more album with screams and then another with just clean vocals. and look at how that turned out. people need to jus
its johnny. justin sane only did the tracks on the album. damon was the original bass player but never recorded the album. it sucks, he was a real cool guy when i met him.
he said he wanted to make one more album that was screaming and singing. then go to just singing after sounding the 7th got popular... THEN he got the operation...
U know, not too many people ever credit Johnny. I mean, u hear Syn and Zacky a lot so of course ur gonna say something about them. They're beasts! lol. But yea, did anyone realize how much this song changes when Johnny wasnt playing?! Wasnt nearly as good. So yea, of course Zacky and Syn are beasts, but so are Johnny and the Rev. No one ever really talks about them though. But yea, whole band is out of this world! Fuckin awesome! Favorite band right here. lol
he isnt wrong... matt shadows did break his vocal chords singing unholy confessions in a concert, he had to get sergury on his throat thats why he barely screams anymore
yeah lol:D but when he comes in with the bass it sounds effin great and I´m a electr. guitarist , I love bass, tired of them mean ass dudes saying bass ain´t important
Because it sounds awsome...i really dont know why maby cause its a metal/hard rock band like most metalor hard rock bands there bass is usualy loud...i think it sounds awsome cause i play bass
dude the only reason y m shadows dont scream anymore is becuz he cant after he got throat cancer and got it removed he cant scream anymore and i love all there music from then to now and i will still love it in the future
Improvised solo by syn wow...I wish it was also in the album...but since syn wasn't there for the recording...anyways A7X kicks ass ; old A7X kicks ass MORE !!!!!
alright, matt shadows=a lot better singing (still good tho) syn=a lot less badass zacky=playing much better live here than now rev=as fucking crazy as always. great song, looking forward to new cd.
I would love to go back in time and see A7X in their beggining
Even when Johnny's bass strap fell off, they looked so professional. They continued to play and act like nothing hapenned. One of my favourite bands!
Before Johnny invested in strap locks xD
awwh good old days :]
old or new still love them for life XD
I still remember the 03' warped tour. I went their to see Thrice and saw these guys too. Been a fan ever since.
i almost wish that we could have heard more of their old bassist, he came up with some pretty awsome bass lines
Their old stuff is awesome.....and much better than now!!!!
man the good ol' days... i remember playing a backyard show with them in san pedro ca. must have been around late 2002/early 2003 or so. i just know it was before they blew up. i still have the shirt they gave me that has a guy on the back of it hardcore dancing hahaha. nothing can ever compare to this album. waking the fallen was alright, but it will never measure up to this one. none of the albums ever will. so much aggression and passion. oh well, i guess all good things come to an end.
Drum solo+Bass Solo= PERFECTION!

@drummaxboi YES!!!! people don't understand that. a band should be liked for their skill/ talent/ style. if you like the new stuff, but not so much the old stuff, then you should praise them for moving forward and making improvements so to speak. it took ME a while to get into the harder old a7x stuff, but i got into it cuz i love the band.
the rev is so awsome period!!
one of my favorites!
Rev just amazing!
Wow! This is so much better than the album version, which is also great
I love all their music the old and the new, because Matts voice is so beautiful so the fact that he sings now and uses it more is awesome, however with the old songs, i do admit that the harder sort of instrumentals are more satisfying and, however there new shit is still fuckin' amazing and i have no doubt that their new album will be a massive success as well, I love this guys, always have and always will do
a7x foREVer... R.I.P Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan :(
awesome the old ax7!!!
I love avenged sevenfold X_X
There old stuff is amazing but i like all of it
I thoughts exactly. Peace.
Holy shit they all look so young an different from what they do now
aww! they all look so young!
look a Syn and his short hair!
OMG sooooooo much better when the bass comes back in!!!!!!!!!!
i love how syn has an AFI shirt, at that time AFI was sick
wow....they're pretty cool,even they're still young this time...
Hey Johnny look for you bass on the floor . . .
wow shadows can scream !! This band was pretty cool when they were punk :P
Holy shit this is awesome, so glad I found this.
That's a Parker Fly, they are made to be really light. Apparently pretty decent pieces of kit.
Zacky's sooo cute!
This video is so fucking good. i love you for posting this.that solo at the end is fuckign great.
this is a video camera recording. they honestly sound amazing live. go to one of there shows and find out.
lol, it happened again at 1:35! It must have been a really bad strap because a stage manager had to get him a new one, but this has increased my respect for johnny even more, because when he started to play again, the song just sounded so much better and heavier. Keep it alive Johnny
my favorite song off of souding the seventh trumpet other than lips of deciet
The Rev puts many-a-drummer to shame with this song alone.. I mean GOD DAMMIT MAN! He's beating his drums brainless and this is only their first album!
i like all of a7x's stuff. It's weird but these guys and AC/DC are my two fav. bands.
@crazybastard6661 i know right its so sick!! i think i listen to the pre-view like 30 times lol i can't wait for the COD map packs to come out so i can listen to it while killing zombies.
@v114743 yeah but this is from 2003 which is when johnny was on bass.
@its123baby thats hella sick I'd be stoked!
thats a kick ass song...syn is whereing an afi shirt thats awesome
i like all of their albums the older songs are a bit dirrerent from the latest but all of their songs are cool
the glory days
back in the good days
Haha A7X in their early days! Gotta love them.
i love the drum interlude at 2:04
This is so awesome!!!
@drummaxboi dude, i've been listening to them since there demo. i hate there new shit (exept for a select few songs) but i still respect them so much, just because someone says that there new stuff sux doesn't mean there a hater of the band, and they are still a really good band. I love Ax7 so don't be a hater to people who like the old sound and have an opinion on there new content. Sorry if this pisses you off alittle, but it was irritating me and had to say something. Cya Dude.
@a7xsynfan6661 Uhh, The Rev wrote the drums for Nightmare, and he did the drums on the Demo.
@btbamftw yes it is true that he would have lost if voice if he kept screaming the way he did, UNLESS he got surgery to remove a blood vessel which he did do. if u need any prove pm me and ill send u a link to the video where he says it himself
@fausimo he didn't kill any thing, he just wanted to stop screaming. if you don't believe me go watch avenged sevenfold all excess, their producer even said it. Also matt is starting to do a little bit of more screaming, go listen to God Hates Us he screams the hell out of that song and also he screams live at times too.
yea. i just realised. Thanks for notifying
Actually Damon had a very short touring stint with them, if any, and Johnny skipped a few weeks of high school to tour with them on Warped.
Just a friendly tip :P
dude, i totally agree with you
@Mr23Metallica Jimmy is on the drums in this vid. He changed his hair style alot over the years, so maybe you just didn´t recognized him ;)
Toallly Badass
Syn always cute
ok. i love old a7x. love it. but i hate the people who say they sold out. yes, they got famous. yes they got rich. but ya know what- who gives a shit? a true fan would be happy that their favorite band gets success in all parts of the world. i like their new stuff too, just a different genre. M. Shadows even said before Waking the Fallen came out that he wanted to do one more album with screams and then another with just clean vocals. and look at how that turned out. people need to jus
i wish he could still scream like this!
@mechyboy27 how does dameon ash look like? i tried to google his image but couldnt come up with much.
its johnny. justin sane only did the tracks on the album. damon was the original bass player but never recorded the album. it sucks, he was a real cool guy when i met him.
posted on my birthday
They did do what they love on the new one. Your comments are EXACTLY the same as many when Metallica made the black album .. Exactly
if u watch the all access dvd it says they didnt stop being screamo because of his throat stuffing up they wanted to changed
i went to a show in november and he had no trouble screaming the waking the fallen songs they played
he said he wanted to make one more album that was screaming and singing. then go to just singing after sounding the 7th got popular... THEN he got the operation...
U know, not too many people ever credit Johnny. I mean, u hear Syn and Zacky a lot so of course ur gonna say something about them. They're beasts! lol. But yea, did anyone realize how much this song changes when Johnny wasnt playing?! Wasnt nearly as good. So yea, of course Zacky and Syn are beasts, but so are Johnny and the Rev. No one ever really talks about them though. But yea, whole band is out of this world! Fuckin awesome! Favorite band right here. lol
@shockwavecrisis correct,i watched all excess
Johnny's bass strap fell off!! LOL This is a great performence!! I miss the old A7X.
he isnt wrong... matt shadows did break his vocal chords singing unholy confessions in a concert, he had to get sergury on his throat thats why he barely screams anymore
yeah lol:D but when he comes in with the bass it sounds effin great and I´m a electr. guitarist , I love bass, tired of them mean ass dudes saying bass ain´t important
Mushroomhead and God Forbid?!
NOICE!
I fucking love all of A7X's shit.
i do prefer there older stuff but there new stuff is still awesome
@Damrodx If you were a true fan, you'd know he doesnt want too, and you would support no matter what.
@synystersk8board u said he got surgery ? show me the video please . thanks . :)
Re: The new self-titled album... have a better listen to it, because it has become my fave album of theirs by far...
they rock so much harder here, espeicially shadows and zacky
@MusicMadJohn That's not Johnny Christ, that's Damon Ash.
fuck, syn improvise so fuckin cool haha the outro solo is just great
The Rev is god
Because it sounds awsome...i really dont know why maby cause its a metal/hard rock band like most metalor hard rock bands there bass is usualy loud...i think it sounds awsome cause i play bass
syn and zacky look so similar^^
lucky that zacky is lefthanded, so i know who is who^^
that must have been like the first a7x vid on yt
You can here the bass come in at 1:46
dude the only reason y m shadows dont scream anymore is becuz he cant after he got throat cancer and got it removed he cant scream anymore and i love all there music from then to now and i will still love it in the future
@XAlexXArsenicXSXEX LOL LOOK AT HOW HE STOPS JUMPING AND HEADBANGING AFTER THAT, like just strumming his bass at one corner :P
Improvised solo by syn wow...I wish it was also in the album...but since syn wasn't there for the recording...anyways A7X kicks ass ; old A7X kicks ass MORE !!!!!
@bevins38 he does a little bit live
nice, syn had an a.f.i. shirt, my favorite band likes my other favorite band lol
its johnny

and its warped tour 03
justin sane left the band well before 2003
alright,
matt shadows=a lot better singing (still good tho)
syn=a lot less badass
zacky=playing much better live here than now
rev=as fucking crazy as always.
great song, looking forward to new cd.
He can actually scream. he just doesnt want to.
