Upgrade to stalker status?
Comment by VixenVengeance July 14, 2010 @ 7:47 pmhas anyone noticed matt’s rev deathbat on his hand?
Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:20 pmYeah he got it months ago, theres a post here where you can see it when he got it.

Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:25 pmYay more from johnny… and I love zacky showing us his awesome ball room dancing with a skeleton…
Comment by Morgan July 14, 2010 @ 6:21 pmHaha it was almost as if he was doing a crazed version of his dance scene from “Afterlife”
Comment by Terrance Phifer July 14, 2010 @ 6:53 pmSo good! I loved the part about Britney Spears. These guys seem so different on camera. They act like themselves but in magazine interviews they make them all sound depressed.
Comment by Melissa July 14, 2010 @ 6:24 pmyeah i noticed that…
Comment by Morgan July 14, 2010 @ 6:27 pmthat is such a nice drum set!!!

Comment by Ley July 14, 2010 @ 8:23 pmi didnt see the part they used as a teaser, is there more to it theyll release later or what?
Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:29 pmThe entire interview had parts from “Nightmare” that we’ve never seen before in it.
Comment by deathbatnews July 14, 2010 @ 6:30 pmwell i mean the interview part, remember the 50 second interview clip they gave, and speaking of that, i did enjoy the new music video footage
Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:33 pmGot ya! They may have cut out that part since they used it as a teaser for the interview. Glad you enjoyed the music video footage! Hope you’re excited for the entire thing to be released on Saturday!
Comment by deathbatnews July 14, 2010 @ 6:35 pmthe thing that sucks is ill be in another state with family with the video comes out so i cant see it till i get back sunday night, its heard to get to a computer when im with family unless it will load on my ipod
Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:37 pmZV always dancing hahahahaha ♥, omg I cannot fuckin’ wait.
Comment by Ann July 14, 2010 @ 6:35 pmThe last scene, with the lonely drums… Freak me out.
JIMMY ALWAYS LOVING YOU! RIP ♥
dont you just wish in the video, jimmy walks up to those drums and starts playing, but ive been in dreamland ever since i heard buried alive (15 times)
Comment by deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:39 pmomg..what if he did… like…wtf… i wud prolly punch a wall. be like WTF!
Comment by Mike Gee July 14, 2010 @ 6:46 pmIt would be just… Don’t know how to say it.
Comment by Ann July 15, 2010 @ 2:38 amFuck it, that scene made me feel so strange!
I can not wait until Saturday. But it is necessary, so the waiting until the 27 isn’t so hard. D:
Omg! I’m so intense. Hahahahaha.
gah, the ending was like a punch to gut. i figured something was up when the spiders came up.
also, win for ZV dancing with the skeleton. Afterlife throwback? haha
Comment by wench July 14, 2010 @ 6:48 pmok…the soundcheck…AMAZING. it had alot of heart in it and so much love. the hurt goes on and on and on…but one thing we know is that james will be with us forever and ever…
Comment by ZACKY k July 14, 2010 @ 6:51 pmThe end hit me like bricks :(
Always missing you Jimmy <3
Comment by Ashley July 14, 2010 @ 6:55 pmyea same here. you know how zacky would say this cd brings chills to everyones spines .. well even after hearing nightmare god only knows how many times i still got them soo bad at the end of this vid:( im seeing them in AC 4 days after the cd comes out and theyre not headlining soo hopefully i get to meet them again .. that would make my summer
Comment by Matt July 14, 2010 @ 8:50 pmGreat interview, but the inclusion of the new music video made it so much sweeter. That ending though, wow! I knew from the pic on DBN it was coming but that was a classy idea by the band to do it. Today has been a good day for A7X fans
Comment by Terrance Phifer July 14, 2010 @ 6:55 pmI can rest peacefully tonight as a fan, a great day for us for sure
Comment by Deen July 14, 2010 @ 6:59 pmAre they going to preform like the other bands/artists do for the Walmart soundcheck or is there only going to just be the interview?
Comment by Melissa July 14, 2010 @ 7:06 pmThe end of the video with the drum set gave me the chills. I cant wait to see the full video
Comment by ShellieF July 14, 2010 @ 7:07 pmAgreed, it made me shiver…
Comment by Marlz July 14, 2010 @ 8:07 pmGreat interview! I wish we could have heard what Syn’s favorite song was tho
Comment by Josh July 14, 2010 @ 7:29 pmim guessing the one he wrote lol
Comment by David Castleman July 14, 2010 @ 8:35 pmThe spiders crawling on Jimmy’s drum set cause that’s all that’s left of him that’s tangible
Comment by Jimmy July 14, 2010 @ 7:33 pmThey showed so much of the video, almost like too much of Nightmare. I’m still totally excited though. Syn doesn’t seem as bad in the whole video now(:
Comment by SynLove July 14, 2010 @ 7:35 pmcannot wait
did they say the album is available now?
Comment by BC July 14, 2010 @ 7:41 pmthere’s many references to Afterlife in the music vid. Theres ZV dancing with a skeleton like when he danced with Gena in Afterlife. theres the spiders. and then of course theres the Rev’s kit which i LOVE
good interview btw
Comment by a7xfreakdrummer July 14, 2010 @ 7:44 pmAnd there’s also the crazy eyes from Bat Country.
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 9:37 pmthats all what i thought. i think the spider was crawling on the drums, as if it was crawling in jimmy
Comment by Mike Gee July 15, 2010 @ 8:04 amI’m so stoked. I wish I had MTV2, but my peoples are too cheap to spring for a digital box, so I gotta catch it on the website. I know like 10 minutes after 11 it’s going to be EVERYWHERE.
Comment by VixenVengeance July 14, 2010 @ 7:50 pmYou can tell this interview was one of the hardest for them. The emotions are still raw, just like the album’s gonna be!! Thanks DBN for this! WE love ya A7X!!!!
Comment by Casey July 14, 2010 @ 7:50 pmWow it’s great to hear that they were influenced by Zeppelin on Buried Alive, although when it comes to writing epic and long songs Led Zep practically wrote the book haha.
Comment by eclecticmuso July 14, 2010 @ 8:02 pmso the album’s available today?
Comment by synystersam July 14, 2010 @ 8:04 pmthe fuck?
No. July 27th, just like it always has been. They probably didn’t think the interview would be released until after the album was.
Comment by deathbatnews July 14, 2010 @ 8:05 pmHey Can someone put this up on youtube? For some reason it will not load 4 me? NOOOOO
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 8:12 pmwon’t load for me either :(
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 8:29 pmToday is a good day for a7x fans.. indeed. lol
Comment by Sam July 14, 2010 @ 8:24 pmI really like this interview. I think it gets a lot deeper than the others have. It reminds me how great of a family this is. ♥
Also, the Nightmare clips! ::flails:: It’s all really creepy and awesome, but the throwbacks to the Afterlife video are fucking intense. Zacky with the skeleton, and Jimmy’s spider! And then the drumkit at the end… basically it’s like a punch to the stomach and I almost want to cry all over again. But yeah, amazing.
Comment by Sarah July 14, 2010 @ 8:33 pmThe end, with Jimmy’s drums, hurt alot.
We love and miss you alot Rev. <33
I'm happy though to hear and see all the boys at the same time not just lil radio seperate interviews. and the scenes from nightmare look so fucking epic! OMG!
Comment by Chazzy Vengeance July 14, 2010 @ 8:41 pmi think all the references to previous videos are sposed to be their life with him and everything they went through with him but then the nightmare is that hes not there at the end
Comment by zach July 14, 2010 @ 8:42 pmagreed
Comment by Andrea July 15, 2010 @ 6:24 amhell yeah
Comment by Anonymous July 15, 2010 @ 8:07 amI choked on my drink when I saw the Rev’s drumkit at the end… That was like a baseball bat to the gut :(
Also, Zacky dancing with that skeleton made my day.
Comment by Gabby July 14, 2010 @ 9:03 pmToday has been a good day.
Comment by Lauren July 14, 2010 @ 9:19 pmFirst “Buried Alive” is released which BLOWED my mind.
Then this interview came out and WOW, the ending surprised me and stung the hell out of my eyes haha.
Just 12 more days to go now
man the end of that video knocked the breath out of me…absolutely AMAZING <3
Comment by Alicia July 14, 2010 @ 9:31 pmEverytime they talked about The Rev, they’re eyes got watery. I noticed, even with their shades on.
Comment by Gwen July 14, 2010 @ 9:33 pmOne sees what one wants to see.
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 9:38 pmhah! so true.
Comment by lis July 15, 2010 @ 2:40 amI’m not saying they’re over his death, they never will be, but they’re strong enough to keep it together in front of a camera.
You can tell they seem to be getting back to normal now. Syn’s making jokes, all of the members are talking and no-one’s isolating themselves, they’re moving on and they can control thmeselves when they have to.
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 2:36 amhaha, did you see Syn’s Karate kick near the end? I missed that.
Comment by Phil A7X July 15, 2010 @ 4:18 amLmao I did, that cheered me up to see him lively again :)
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 8:09 amWasn’t syn in karate?
Comment by Courtney July 16, 2010 @ 2:06 pmI say a picture of “him” but it was hard see his face and kinda hard to believe it was him.
First of all, Buried Alive is freaking sick! amazing..
Now, we basically watched all the nightmare video! with the 4 teasers and this clips in the interview! I didnt liked that.. now i know whats gonna happen..
Comment by Sevenfoldable July 14, 2010 @ 10:12 pmnot going to lie, i wish they would have saved that shot of the rev’s drum set until the actual release of the music video. it kinda ruined the surprise :(
Comment by steve July 14, 2010 @ 10:33 pmi dont even have words for the drums at the end. i really dont. that hit way hard
Comment by brendan July 14, 2010 @ 10:43 pmZacky brought back the scene where he dances in Afterlife but this time on Nightmare with a skeleton. Also the lady from Bat Country.
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 10:45 pmThe spider towards the end of the song gives you a memory of when Jimmy in the Afterlife video had a spider on his face, except this time the spider is on the drum kit.
Comment by Anonymous July 14, 2010 @ 10:52 pmthats a kick ass picture
Comment by Neil July 14, 2010 @ 11:02 pmomg its a very good interview
Comment by emilyA7X July 14, 2010 @ 11:05 pmits so sad…i was crying like a baby
the end was just wow…
A7X foREVer
<3
great way to end a music video i think
Comment by malicious grimm July 14, 2010 @ 11:11 pmthis was a great interview. one of the best. the spider is back! (the one in the video) hah. :(
Comment by Neil July 14, 2010 @ 11:13 pmwow that video hit me hard like the night i found out about jimmy. i hadent accepted it, i been such a big hardcore dedicated fan but i guess with all the sorrow i decided to distance myself alittle. i wasnt as excited as i used to be, hearing news nd interviews. i HONESTLY wasnt excited about the new record. i didnt want to accept that they might change the bands name. i heard buried alive earlier today & i fell in love with them all over again. i see this video &see how bad they still hurt, damn i was selfish. now i accept hes gone but not forgotten. im that big hardcore dedicated fan again. a7x foREVer. im seeing them live september :)
Comment by unknown July 14, 2010 @ 11:35 pmI’m much the same man, he will never fucking be forgotten and THAT is what matters
foREVer <3
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 9:33 amlook at zack when theyre talking about fiction he looked like he was about to break down :(
Comment by luy July 14, 2010 @ 11:39 pmThank you Walmart soundcheck for ruining the climax of the music video.
Comment by Tommy July 14, 2010 @ 11:41 pmin stores now? Da f**k?!?
Comment by Noey July 15, 2010 @ 12:03 amthey said that because they thought the interview video was going to be released when the album was, not before it.
Comment by Marlz July 15, 2010 @ 4:26 amhahahah, Zacky dancing with the skeleton, and Johnny crawling on the floor. CAN’T WAIT FOR THE VIDEO!
Comment by Phil A7X July 15, 2010 @ 12:27 amI think I died a little when I saw the ending. T_T
Comment by Vincent July 15, 2010 @ 12:38 amShit like this does nothing but pump me up even more for the release of the album. It’s gonna blow myself, my friends and family, and all of The Fallen around the world completely on our asses.
Random question as well: Any word on whether or not the boys will be doing some semblance of a meet-n-greet type thing during the tour?
Comment by Jimmy Spectyre July 15, 2010 @ 1:08 amI’ve been wondering that too. I guess we’ll find out from fans who get to the first few dates.
Comment by Sarah July 15, 2010 @ 7:17 amZacky made me laugh when I saw him dancing with some skeleton =D
Comment by ChrisA7X July 15, 2010 @ 1:22 amAnyone else get an email today about the ‘Book of nightmares’ being delayed a week? I’m not sure if it’s UK only but I got the email today.
I’m totally bummed out about the situation so I’m going to have to buy the itunes copy of the album along with that edition.
Comment by SynysterCraig July 15, 2010 @ 2:35 amIt might only be the UK? I didn’t get an eail saying that, maybe it depends on when you ordered it too?
Comment by Marlz July 15, 2010 @ 4:28 ammaybe, it kind of sucks though, was really looking forward to it but i suppose i love them enough to buy the album twice
Comment by SynysterCraig July 15, 2010 @ 7:18 amWHAT. I’m in the US and I’ve not heard anything…
Comment by Sarah July 15, 2010 @ 7:15 amI got that email this morning too :-(
Comment by Chezgregs July 15, 2010 @ 12:49 pmLoved the interview with the guys. Awesome video, brought tears to my eyes at the end. The Rev is gone but will never be forgotten. a7xfoREVer! Can’t wait to see you in Scranton, Pa on August 27th.
Comment by KLNAPE July 15, 2010 @ 4:59 amLove the last part of the interview when Brian says about the fans loving them.. ‘& we love them back, well most of them.’ LOL
Thank you A7X for being so dedicated to your fans.
foREVer
Comment by Andrea July 15, 2010 @ 6:34 amLmao I loved that, the guys’ face when he said that, Brian’s probably referring to some past experience with fans xD
I love how they love the fans, and we’ll always love them back. :)
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 8:13 ami love the drum kit seen at the end has any one else noticed the way the light shows from behind the drum it its kinda looks like jimmys spirit is sitting there
Comment by Anonymous July 15, 2010 @ 6:42 amChills at the end, just chills…
That’s all I can say.
Comment by Scratch July 15, 2010 @ 7:36 amReally deep interview, and the last shot broke my heart…But I am sure Jimmy was sitting there playing them, even though we couldn’t hear or see him.
Comment by Alyssa July 15, 2010 @ 9:08 amOn a random note, it looks like they all were trying to grow mustaches in this video! :p
I believe they took it down, I can’t find it anywhere. The link redirects me to the soundcheck home page :/
Comment by Damagon July 15, 2010 @ 9:23 amYeah I watched it a minute ago but it’s gone. Probably on youtube now anyway.
Comment by Owen.C July 15, 2010 @ 9:36 amsame here
Comment by coolbrotherj July 15, 2010 @ 9:50 amYea I have the same problem
Comment by Tyler July 15, 2010 @ 9:58 amI know, I was looking too, shit :(
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 10:29 amThe only interview available when I go to the website is with a guy named Danny Gokey and the Avenged one is nowhere to be found. Can anyone give me a hand?
Comment by Holly July 15, 2010 @ 9:29 amI can’t find it!!!!!! =(
Comment by ashleigh July 15, 2010 @ 9:31 amI can’t see it either, I’m just at the main page. D: Help?
Comment by Emma July 15, 2010 @ 9:37 amWhy did they have to delete the interview!! I’ve been waiting for it for a whole month!!
Comment by Synester00 July 15, 2010 @ 9:43 amYa the video must have been taken down or something its redirecting me to there soundcheck homepage and I cant even find it on youtube :(
Comment by colt45 July 15, 2010 @ 10:22 amI’ve sent an e-mail asking why it is no longer available. If they answer me, I’ll let you guys know.
Comment by Holly July 15, 2010 @ 10:44 am=( they took it down
Comment by Noey July 15, 2010 @ 10:44 amDefinitely cried a bit. Love you and miss you Jimmy. :( <3
Comment by Theresa July 15, 2010 @ 11:30 amThis was emotional, seeing the band talk so rawly about Jimmy was very emotinal.
Comment by Anonymous July 15, 2010 @ 11:34 amwhen they reposted it, they took out the end part with the drums
Comment by deen July 15, 2010 @ 11:35 amThe interview worked fine for me.
Comment by marblez July 15, 2010 @ 11:36 amThe video was deffinatley good..
Comment by Taylor July 15, 2010 @ 11:40 amwasnt really excpecting to see jimmys drum set at the end kinda heart breaking..
But its deffinatley going to be an AMAZING album..
Very last scene hit me hard when I watched it last night. :[ I started crying.
Comment by Natasha July 15, 2010 @ 12:07 pmBest part is seeing Syn smile and jump around… Looks way too skinny these days and way too sad, understandably so.
fat
Comment by fatboy July 15, 2010 @ 12:08 pmI agree, that made my day seeing that, since I saw Syn acting more lively I’ve just been a lot happier
Thanks Syn :)
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 16, 2010 @ 12:16 pmWhat the eff, they cut out the drums at the end :(
Comment by EmilyVengeance July 15, 2010 @ 4:09 pmwow this video really hit me hard…like it made tears come to my eyes, did anyone else notice that zack was looking sad the whole time?
Comment by Zacorra July 15, 2010 @ 5:44 pmHm, that was the first time I heard Syn call The Rev, Jimmy.
Comment by Chase July 15, 2010 @ 7:49 pmwhere the fuck is the drum kit at the end!?
Comment by Sevenfoldable July 15, 2010 @ 8:17 pmyep. i watched it again today and it wasn’t there
Comment by Anonymous July 15, 2010 @ 11:14 pmThey probably removed it because maybe they weren’t meant to air it, or complaints from the label of spoiling the end of the music video…
Comment by Marlz July 15, 2010 @ 11:27 pmif thats true, i think its a little too late
Comment by deen July 16, 2010 @ 6:27 amYeh…true.
Comment by Marlz July 16, 2010 @ 6:12 pmtoo bad they cut the drum kit at the end it kindda make you wanna cry
Comment by miin July 15, 2010 @ 10:35 pmsyn said it best in the end
Comment by drew July 16, 2010 @ 10:31 pm
