Going to the concert in evansville at the end of the month, i absolutely cant wait, i've already seen my other favorite band (metallica) live, and nothing would compliment that more than seeing A7X live. Not only for me and my best friend, but for The Rev. R.I.P. Jimmy foREVer
saw them in mansfield 2 days later satayed up all night waiting for the track on itunes please a7x dont stop cause of the rev we miss him but we already lost one y do we have to loose the rest rip rev \m/
mike has awsome skill.. but not only the skill we want.. we love Jimmy bcoz his atitude and character..also he has skill and nice voice.. also he got tallent to create new unic song..he's gnius tht package is very hard to find...
I do have 5 more A7X videos coming they converted badly so I'm trying to upload the raw file(s) to see if they will work but because of there size its taking some time (and I'm traveling so not always at a computer). Hopefully I will have them all up soon enough!
@thesmallspure I'm a singer and I happen to be pretty pitch sensitive so I can quite easily tell when someone is singing in the wrong key. His pitch would have been spot on if they were playing it in Drop D but I think they transposed it down a semitone to Drop Db (i.e the same tuning as Almost Easy and Scream), but as soon as he sang the 1st prechorus he must must've realised his mistake and adjusted to the right key. Listen closely to the backups by Syn/Zacky and how they are in another key.
@burkkis it was their first time playing it at their first show without The Rev.. it sounds a lot better now that they're used to playing it and tighter with MP.
@wardude08 Dream Theater. Yes, he WAS the new drummer, but then he and the band both decided that no could or should ever permanently replace The Rev, so now A7X rotates drummers. They are currently using one of The Rev's close friends as their drummer. foREVer
@sjhoon94 How can you tell? The camera shakes too much at that time. Then again, Mike could probably drum like that and talk to someone while blindfolded with one hand behind his back. Underwater.
I think Matt must have thought they were playing it in Drop D instead of Drop Db which kinda explains the off key first verse but anyway I can't imagine how hard this must have been for them so he handled it like a pro! Still a near flawless performance from A7X and this is sure to become a fan favourite live in my opinion! A7X foREVer!
@JESR1006 Haha! I remember that, he was all " One day I'm going to get off the bus, walk into the forest and never come back and when I come back I'll be the master of Knives" Lol I think that is how he said it.
@TheChrisBones they played nightmare,Critical Acclaim, Beast and the harlet, Welcome to the family, Farr away, Afterlife,God hates us, Unholy confessions, And almost easy in that order
@Harlot2004 Yeah and his in ear mics might have not helped with pitching either cos it is afterall a very tiny difference in key tonally but he handled it like a pro. Anyway of course they would be a bit rusty considering the personal hell they've been through, but an awesome first performance of this song, I just knew that this song would own live from the first time I hears it! But I think they should probably play it in the original key of Drop D next time. A7X foREVer!
@eclecticmuso Yer i realised that too! But the actual line he sang was spot on just the wrong key! Shame like it is hard hearing those low tones half a step apart, i play in a metal band and the drop Db songs are really hard to tune into especially with monitor problems!
i think finding a new drummer sounds like a MTV series,where they audition for a new drummer,they got the revs idol (Mike Portnoy) to join for a while but when he leaves they should bring in a guy who idolizes the REV,seems like the right thing to do dont you think?
I'm gonna see these in november! :D I just hope they play scream... everything else is obviously awesome but as long as that song is on the setlist I'm fine ;D
