this is by far the most inspiring video on youtube. these guys went from this where theres maybe 20 people in the crowd (none of them probably even know who a7x is) to playing sold out arenas world wide and million of records. holy shit!
humble beginning for Avenged Sevenfold hard work pays off in the future now they have like 200,000 spectators in one night back in the day they barely made it to ten i support this band their efforts were paid in time A7x FOREVER!!!
@MenInTightsooh They just announced they'll begin writing the new album this summer. They said it should be completed within 2012. Maybe released in the fall.
@MenInTightsooh How can you not recognize Shadows? Even back then he's the most recognizable face in A7X. Zacky still looks the exact same... but besides those two... that's it. Syn got buffer and a more mature looking face, and The Rev ended up looking nothing like he did here. This was before all the tattoo's, and the crazy style he always rocked.
holy fuckin shit this is rare m shadows screaming live, playing waking the fallen matterial, this is very rare this is just 3 years before they hit it really big with city of evil and unto their self titled cd thanks for the post
its also possible that when a band is just starting out, they have tons of music and only a couple get selected for the first album. the other music can also be used later on in any other albums.
@FDGodXKiller1 I realize that's not why they stopped. In fact they actually scream again nowadays. He only stopped in about 04 through 06 because of his throat. Yes, it was their plan all along to stop writing songs with screaming after two albums. He started back up screaming the old WTF songs live in about 07. Now they have songs like "God Hates Us" and "I'm Not Ready to Die" with screaming in them. Rumor has it that the new album will have screaming as well.
omg, i live in alabama, i wish i could of saw this! i would of been moshing like crazy, and i would probobly try and meet the band lol, so early in their career, suprised they would come to alabama lol this early
@TheVaginalPenis or maybe he wanted to keep his voice longer, cause he knew he had a unique voice, so he didnt want it to be destroyed from screaming and shit
In reply to Blinker968 the lead singer (Matthew Sanders) started doing screamo his first album. But he didn't know how to do it. He messed up his throat so he can now no longer do it.
@shreddintheaxe He never did blow his voice out. Watch the all excess dvd. He just wanted to stop screaming. I wonder if had anything to do with wanting to be more marketable and commercial. Cough* Sellouts Cough^.... In all honesty, it's entirely possible they went in that direction because their musical taste changed, but thats not usually the case.
@icutppl Nope. Waking the Fallen wasn't out in 2002. It came out in 03. They already had the stuff written. The fans don't know how lucky they are to hear this before it came out.
I dont know if this was before Waking the Fallen or after it came out, but the demo for Remenissions actually had different lyrics in alot of parts, he later changed them
Omg no one even knows who they are.... It's unbelievable really. If those people knew how good and successful they are now they would facepalm so hard if they saw this vid xD A7X FOR THE WIN! :D R.I.P The Rev
@WiskykillerofWoW Well, if it wasn't planned, then it was completely bad ass lol. I just think it's kind of cheesy when bands plan certain moves on stage, stuff like that. That stuff should stay in pop music.
At least that one guy in the white shirt with long hair and hat is headbanging! :D If i was there i would be chillin' with him there headbanging too! :D
@richig761 how is that cheesy? and it probably wasnt, me and my band do that all the time all together on accident, its called the heavy hit in the song, lol
i miss a7x when they were like this........i still like them, but the passion is not there like on sounding the seventh trumpet and waking the fallen! i like when shadows was half screaming and half singing, his voice is so much different now!
i do know that in your description it says that the songs are to end the rature and turn the other way, which are from the sounding the seventh trumpet cd, i was just judging that they played waking the fallen material since they were playing remenissions
a7x had such a huge nofx influence in their early days, you can really hear it! too bad theyve lost all their punk and hardcore roots these days, now they sound like a metallica/guns n roses hybrid for the most part. i personally love sounding the seventh trumpet and waking the fallen! they are def my 2 favorite a7x albums! nightmare wasnt that good at all i thought, though god hates us is a badass song!!!! they are still cool motherfuckers though! shadows rules!
The crowd had no idea they were watching the greatest band of all time
the energy and passion, goddamn
this is by far the most inspiring video on youtube. these guys went from this where theres maybe 20 people in the crowd (none of them probably even know who a7x is) to playing sold out arenas world wide and million of records.
holy shit!
it's actually cool to see avenged play for just a few people...it shows that they just started out like every other band....great vid!
humble beginning for Avenged Sevenfold hard work pays off in the future now they have like 200,000 spectators in one night back in the day they barely made it to ten i support this band their efforts were paid in time A7x FOREVER!!!
i would love to see them live back in the day
Esse dia foi louco.
awwwww :) Cute little A7X
i love how they just rock their hearts out regardless of the lame crowd lol. go babies go!
his screams were fucking clean back then.....i loved these!!!
they played this one before WTF even came out so i guess they changed the lyrics in the recorded version
A7X seemed so cool back then, they still do,one of my favorite metal records is Waking the Fallen.
Legend metalcore
The Rev IS A FUCKING UNLEASHED BEAST! WHAT A GENIUS... I MISS YOU SO MUCH!
i think this is before they recorded it
these people prolly didnt know a7x would get to be big and popular
lo maximo, matt deberia cantar asi todavia
matt's fucking scream.....amazing
I watched this back in high school.
I wonder how that crowd reacts to Avenged now.
Has anyone else seen the drums behind them? IT HAS THE DEATHBAT!
2:38 the guy is like shit this band is good im filming this shit for when they get big
wow they have gotten much better i think, they were good and this is what got me into em. but they changed for the best
damn Shads used to have a sick ass screaming voice, 3:44-3:50
in this video a little people watch this concert but now a millions of people listen A7X.
@MenInTightsooh They just announced they'll begin writing the new album this summer. They said it should be completed within 2012. Maybe released in the fall.

@xXn00bslay3rXx not everybody,
i love these guys with a flaming passion.
This video shows us how hard they tried to reach they present level.
And shows us if you will try and work hard you will reach your goals
this is so cool. here they're playing in from of a few people, 10 years later, or even five years later, they're playing rock am ring(100 000+ people)
Remenissions

@TheVaginalPenis or maybe he wanted to keep his voice longer, cause he knew he had a unique voice, so he didnt want it to be destroyed from screaming and shit
They came so far since 2002!!
wow.........they have come so far from where they were
In reply to Blinker968 the lead singer (Matthew Sanders) started doing screamo his first album. But he didn't know how to do it. He messed up his throat so he can now no longer do it.
@frozenfarm I couldn't agree more.
I love how theres like no one there and now, they have millions of fans worldwide.
Shads voice are so violent. Or some what cool.

@FappietheFatHippie i have a lot of love for that comment :L

I was watching them at ths preformance. :D
the lyrics to reminissions here are different than on waking the fallen!
foREVer X
this was a b side version of remenissions, before waking the fallen came in to play. the lyrics were different.
Dam I wish I could have been born earlier to see STST and WtF live. I would have been 10 at the time of this show. FUCK
@richig761 lol yea, i agree their if its planned then its cheesy, but im pretty sure this wasnt, so it is completely badass lol
@shreddintheaxe He never did blow his voice out. Watch the all excess dvd. He just wanted to stop screaming. I wonder if had anything to do with wanting to be more marketable and commercial. Cough* Sellouts Cough^.... In all honesty, it's entirely possible they went in that direction because their musical taste changed, but thats not usually the case.

@icutppl Nope. Waking the Fallen wasn't out in 2002. It came out in 03. They already had the stuff written. The fans don't know how lucky they are to hear this before it came out.
The guy in the Blue Cap Looks like Mike Portnoy Lol, And if your wondering , thats Damon Ash on Stage for Bass. I think.
Ok it is fucking great, I think
oh my god if he could scream like that again and he did it again at a live show....i'd go ape shit
I dont know if this was before Waking the Fallen or after it came out, but the demo for Remenissions actually had different lyrics in alot of parts, he later changed them
a7xfan66 yea this was before. as you can see Dameon Ash is still there and he left as soon as Waking the Fallen was recorded
1:38 Thats look like, Matt is spitting to Jimmy, But No xD
Omg no one even knows who they are....
It's unbelievable really. If those people knew how good and successful they are now they would facepalm so hard if they saw this vid xD
