Lagu-lagu A7X Ter...

Saya di sini akan memperlihatkan tentang fakta dari lagu A7X. Disitu ada jawabannya apakah lagu favorit fans masuk dalam daftar atau tidak. Yang tidak masuk juga jangan berkecil hati karena saya anggap semua lagu A7X itu hebat.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Kontroversial:
A Little Piece of Heaven
mtv bahkan tidak menayangkan lagu ini karena beberapa alasan, diantaranya, Liriknya yg kasar, Judulnya yg hanya khayalan semata. pidio klipnya yg penuh dengan kekerasan/darah/dan diwarnai dengan beberapa adegan dewasa

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Menyentuh:
Gunslinger
Synyster Mengatakan,"ini adalah lagu yg paling menyentuh yg pernah ditulis oleh Matt Shadow".

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Berat:
Save Me
mulai dari awal, duet gitar zacky n syn selalu mewarnai lagu ini, bahkan sampai habis . . . drum n bass tdk usah ditanya, dari awal memakai beat dewa.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Ringan:
Fiction
di lagu ini, tidak memakai bass n gitar, hanya beat drum ringan dan piano.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Cepat:
Unbound The Wild Ride
memang gitar n solo gitarnya tdk secepat cahaya. Intronya aja cepetnya minta ampun. tapi, temponya sudah sangat cepat jika dimainkan oleh kangen band. piano, drum, bass n rhytm guitar disini sangat kesusahan

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Lambat:
Gunslinger
lagu dimainkan dengan santai disaat live maupun saat merekamnya, liat aja expresinya Johny Christ saat maen di LBC.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Horor:
Fiction
kita semua tau kalau lagu ini ditulis jimmy 3 hari sebelum kematiannya. liriknya yg seperti surat wasiat orang yg sekarat. dan judulnya yg semula adalah "Death". membuat para penggemar a7x merasa ini lebih horor daripada "beranak dalam kubur".

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Sering Di Download:
Dear God
Siapa yang tidak tahu dengan Dear God. Lagu yang dulunya berjudul "Country Rock" ini adalah salah satu lagu yang paling digemari oleh semua kalangan. Baik tua, remaja, muda mereka menyukai lagu ini

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Berantakan Maknanya:
A Little Piece of Heaven
Jimmy pernah bilang kalau maknanya adalah "jangan melakukan kesalahan yg sama 2x". tapi , para pencari makna lagu berkata lain . ada yg bilang ini adalah bagaimana kita membunuh orang yg kita sayangi. ada juga yg bilang kalau lagu ini tdk ada maknanya, alias cuman buat seru-seruan jimmy.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold yang paling banyak menggunakan instrument:
A Little Piece of Heaven
(13) . Vokal,Gitar,Bass,Drum,Piano,Tuba,Violin,Penyanyi gereja, cellos, trombones, clarinets, saxophones dan trumpets.

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling sedikit menggunakan instrunment:
Fiction
(3). Vokal , Piano , Drum

Lagu Avenged Sevenfold Yang Paling Menyedihkan:
I Won't See You To Night Part 1
Lagu ini diciptakan Oleh Justin Sane (Mantan Bassist A7X) karena depresi yg terlalu berlebihan. Setelah lagu ini selesai di tulis si justin sane mencoba untuk bunuh diri,,meskipun gagal. Terdengar suara piano yang dimainkan oleh Justin Sane.

M.Shadows Quotes

"I got my girlfriend a nice ring to show her my dedication. I know that made her excited." -2002 M. Shadows response to the question

What's the best gift you've ever given someone that you were more excited to give than anything you've ever received.

"We don't really try, we just do it and look at it later and say, "That sounds good.". M. Shadows on their song writing habits. Interview 2008

"These people, well...it reminds me of when I was thirteen years old and used to call bands sell outs. And to me...we just write what's in our hearts and do the best thing possible. We're not Microsoft, we're not trying to make Ipods and cater to every person. We're gonna write what's in our hearts in our souls for people to listen to and just enjoy it. That's what we're here for . We're just a band, we're just five kids having a good time and putting our hearts on the line. And we would never, in a million years, put something out there that didn't come from our hearts, just to put it out there. When kids call us "sell outs", they're usually young or they're confused or just mad because it doesn't sound like the record before. Maybe one day they'll get older and think, "Wow, this is actually a band that's the farthest thing from a sell out that I could possibly imagine." We've always done what we wanted and the label's never going to tell us what to put on an album. So, maybe one day they'll grow up and realize they didn't like the album but they don't need to call us "sell outs". I guess being called "sell outs" is a normal everyday thing. People are going to call you "sell outs", regardless of what you do." 2008 interview

"I just want to say we support the troops and we love every one of them. Even if they...I know a lot of my friends that are in the military that they don't agree with...Some of them are total, total liberals or this or that, whatever they are and I just want to say that we love all the troops. We don't care what they believe in, they're defending our country and we love them for that. And they're the biggest bad assses...in the world and we just want to thank you. We hope they enjoy the music and we'll keep pumping it out and just keep staying bad asses!" -M. Shadows message to the troups in 2008-

"I don't think what I say is important. We're a metal band. We're not going to say the things that are always politically correct, we're going to say what we really feel." 2006 Kerrang issue #51

"I think we are always going to get that. I sorta like it. When people stop talking about us and start talking shit, then it kinda takes the fun out of it. But I think if we put out a record with a completely different name a lot of those people would probably give us a chance. It think the problem is that most of the metal crowd don't like our fans. They are so passionate about the band. I mean, I love our fans. They are the best in the world but it's one of those things. If you get a certain amount of popularity, people will start ot hate you." Referencing why A7X isn't accepted so readily by the "metal fans" 2010 Big Cheese

"I feel guilty moving on you know? Jimmy started this band with us. Why do we have the right to move on without him? Then I think he wouldn't want us to stop. He'd want us to go on and rock out." 2010 Big Cheese

"Axl Rose is a genius. He can piss off everybody and storm off stage in the middle of a concert, but they're still his fans." - 2006

"I've always seen us as a metal band but alot of punk attitude involved. That's from growing up in a punk environment." - 2006 -

"We have alot of friends in metalcore bands, but I think sometimes we get upset and say stuff, and it gets taken really seriously. When you write an album like "City of Evil" and people say you're a metalcore band you're like fuck you." - 2006 -
