    • @alexiluffy216
      @alexiluffy216 6 лет назад +3

      foREVerAvenged1 That’s kinda hard to decide, because both were released in 2005! Let’s see.. Roses For The Dead was promoted as a single on February 20 2006, but it was already on the album Hours (released on 14 June 2005). Smile In Your Sleep was promoted as a single on July 19 2005, before the album came out which would be August 16 2005.
      So Roses For The Dead came out 1 month and 5 days BEFORE Smile In Your Sleep.
      Thanks to Wikipedia ofc, and they are both my favourite post-hardcore bands :D

    Drop C# tuning is one of my favorites! Linkin Park is the reason why that song "A place for my head", "One step closer" and "In the end" that makes me wanna pick a guitar to jam with. But I wanted to play their song off the Meteora album called "faint" with extended outro on a rhythm guitar.
