I absolutely agree. And it's terrifying. Avenged Sevenfold has always been what I listen to when I feel like the whole world is trying to force feed you its shit, because it feels like the guys wrote music that relates to that, like they know how it feels. Now I'm scared that A7X is trending in...
To both Ed and Daniel, I'd like to recommend the song "Us" by Ice Cube. It's a great song that does a great job showing the validity of both arguments.
For a really similar sound to the Klon, I'd go with a Wampler Tumnus. Some of my other favorite distortion pedals are the classic Rat, Kirk Hammett's "KHDK Dark Blood", and anything from Revv.
This is a really cool set of covers I found on YouTube. It's a set of some of the best A7X songs where all the parts are preformed acoustically. It's really well done performance and edit wise. I thought the site might enjoy it, so I posted it here. To be clear, THIS IS NOT ME. All credit goes...
I know it's cliche, but Metallica's is so iconic. You'd recognized the logo if it were just the M and A back to back. Nirvana's Dead W*ore also has to be up there. Some other ones I need to mention are the Rolling Stones, TooL, the Dream Theater "Majesty" M, and, of course, the Deathbat. So I'd...
Confession time... this is my first riff. This contest prompted me to write one, and I actually think it turned out really well. The Syn's Tips that I used the most were lessons 48, on chord building, 71, on the chromatic scale, 73, on alternate picking, and 47 on pinch harmonics. I used chord...
I should have gone to reverb way sooner, I found a tobacco burst syn signature with all the good stuff (synbucker, sustainiac, floyd, neck thru) for only 899! And it's in perfect condition. Thanks for the advice, I think I know what guitar I'm buying now...
Its all good, the reason I'm looking at the apocalypse is that it's used and the guy is looking for around 800, whereas the best deal I can find on a Syn custom with the sustainiac and floyd is more in the 1000 dollar range. If I could find a Syn custom for the same price I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
So the title is pretty self explanatory. I've been playing for maybe a year and a half and own two guitars. Both have fret inlays in the obvious spots. Now, I'm looking at a used Schecter Apocalypse with a Floyd Rose system, sustainiac, pretty much everything I can do to get the Synyster Gates...
I didn't play guitar when the hellwin was out, so I can't tell you how excited I am for this amp. This is also such a cool way to pick the name. Good job to Synyster, Papa Gates, and all the websites staff. You killed it!
I want to start this reply by thanking every person who replied, it's awesome that so many people came out and everyone respectfully shared their opinions. Everybody had valid points instead of just saying the album was good or bad. So thank all of you for making my very first thread so...
