Bringing it back a couple years? Do we even want to admit that?

I pretty much just had a shit show of a night. Wow. So I'm just catching up on some blogging real quick before I hit the sack and wake up much earlier than I want to in the morning to hit up SoHo.

I was just reading the last post and was totally caught off guard by the use of the phrase "a vengeance". I was just watching a pre-air episode of Californication (so good) around this time yesterday and was totally caught off guard by seeing the word "sevenfold" on one of the walls. This all leads me to one thing: a little (or maybe big, now) band that goes by the name of Avenged Sevenfold.

I remember years ago when I was all up in the shit of hardcore/death metal, A7x totally used to be my guilty pleasure (which I think I decided the other day has now changed to T-Pain....?). They might have been my current Wale, only I stuck with them longer than I stuck with most things at the time. I was really into them during the 2003 'Waking the Fallen' era. Then something happened to Matt Sanders' (or as the stage name goes.. M. Shadows ooooooh) throat and he had to have surgery or something which seriously affected the way he was able to kind of pig squeal (just wanna let y'all know I just called it a goat growl) and yell at us all, so their next album 'City of Evil' was a lot different than anything the fans expected to hear. I for one, was not happy. And to this day, I am not happy. I'm sure they would have become sell-outs at some point, but I just think it happened too soon.

Anyway. I feel like A7x have been haunting me. So, now, a really old throwback. Enjoy (or just ignore and pretend you didn't)!



Maybe one of these days I'll have an even older throwback and toss some James Ingram at y'all (does he even have music videos???).

EDIT: hokay i didn't watch this video or anything before i posted it, i just remembered it and how much i liked it. i just watched the first 30 seconds of it and can we plz just talk about how foxy matt sanders/m. shadows/singer/howler is?????? i srsly don't have a type in guys in this just further proves it. he is so fine. daym.
