Avenged Sevenfold

[Bodhi]

Im anticipating a HUGE drop off this second week.  The fans all bought it first week or found an independent retailer and bought it before the first week(like me), they are not a mainstream band, everyone who wants the record has it already...

[fear the juggalo 2]

i agree. almost every album has a huge drop off with the exception of eminem & susan boyle. im sure if they do snl it will help. (which is a rumor). if it can stay in the top 10 that would be great. regardless, 162k is very impressive, along with a successful tour is a plus. i just hope if they cant get portnoy to stay, they can find a replacement. i would love to see atreyu drummer jump ships. he has a great voice, & is a good song writer. he's also a solid drummer.

[Bodhi]

yeah Atreyu is a great band too...i know they have Portnoy till the end of the year and they booked dates for next year already so that tells me they have a replacement in mind.  SNL would be great if they played that...

[Bodhi]

Number 3 this week.....NICEEEEEEE

[fear the juggalo 2]

wow! i am really suprised by it staying in the top 10. number 3 is great. have you seen how much the limited edition version is selling for on ebay? the lithograph alone sold for over 300 bucks, & the cd sells for over 200. i knew i should have bought more than one!

[Bodhi]

yeah i got 1 copy of the Book of Nightmares, I thought they were still for sale on the website though, guess its sold out

[fear the juggalo 2]

i believe they only made 2000 of them. im gonna use the deathbat on the lithograph for my chest tattoo. i really like the detail in the wings. i also hope they release a blu ray of this uproar tour. the show looks awesome! as i've said many times, this band is the real deal. may we see a gnr,a7x, faith no more summer tour? hmmm?

i enjoyed some songs off their paper sails album.

I know they released a new album but it didnt seem to get any airplay or much press here in the UK. (they did tremendously well on previous albums, i guess the metalcore fad is going out of style here)

[axlrosegnr]

Took me awhile, but I really grew to love this album, damn near every song. Can't stop listening now.

[Bodhi]

The album is still in the Top 10 here in the States, probably will fall out next week, but a really good showing...

[fear the juggalo 2]

it's hangin in there at number 10 this week. im so happy for the guys. now i hope they release buried alive as a single. i think alot of people that dont like them will dig the song.

[mrlee]

Out of all the new American Metal bands this is the only one thats done anything for me.

Although again, the production on the album makes the songs alot less heavier than they could of been. But live these guys are a spectacle. I saw them on support for Airbourne n they kicked ass.

Latest single (unfortuantely they released a mellow track, but meh)

-edit- managed to find a pro shot live vid, although the mixing leaves something to be desired, better than a cam video though.

hanging tough, after a month..nice

[fear the juggalo 2]

ok so i went to the uproar tour last night. a7x was unreal. the stage my only complaint was the setlist was too short. this is a must see show. even if you dont like the band the show is exactly that, a show! i hope they keep this stage & go back out by themselves.

[mrlee]

Does the drummer have a flaming drum kit, that goes in the air n spins upside down whilst playing!?

[fear the juggalo 2]

no, but the whole stage is on fire  at one point. bodies hanging, the haunted mansion, everything!

[Bodhi]

I personally like when the dude hangs himself at the beginning of the show...I saw them on Uproar 3 times, im going to post some pics here in the next day or two...your right great set, but too short, thats what happens when you have to co-headline.  Disturbed going on last is complete bullshit by the way...

[fear the juggalo 2]

i agree. the set is way to short. i only watched 2 songs by disturbed. they wernt bad, but they need to go on before a7x. i hope they do their own tour with this show. i hope they release a dvd. i just cant stop thinking about how good that was. one of my fav. shows of all time, & i was at vegas 01/01/01. it is real close to that. when that banner of jimmy went up. i choked up. that was awesome. his family was at the show. it was great. i really hope mike stays with them for awhile. his drumming is unreal!

[mrlee]

no, but the whole stage is on fire  at one point. bodies hanging, the haunted mansion, everything!

Thats cool, but every theatrical show needs a flying drummer!

Just ask Tommy Lee, or Joey Jordison!
