Avenged Sevenfold - Not Ready to Die

Though I'm sure the real hardcore fans know about it, Avenged Sevenfold wrote a new song for the Call of Duty Map Pack "Escalation" called "Not Ready to Die"...

Though I was not a fan of 3/4ths of Nightmare, this song isn't that bad. Keeps the melodic bits down to a minimum and has some good solo stuff. Would make for a good song in Rock Band.

Literally the only redeeming quality of the song is that it got me to play Nazi Zombies again

Well, I'm gonna be honest, compared to their older stuff, this one isn't that good. I didn't say it sucks, but I prefer their older songs.

I love this song alot. M Shadows scream has changed a lot, and it is very noticeable in this song. The ending of the song is my favorite. The breakdown is awesome.

Arin did a fantastic job on the drums. He seems to have a lot of The Rev influence in him. His footwork is really good also, I liked a lot his double bass patterns.

This song is a new personal favorite of mine. Love it so much.

I dunno, personally I just can't get into it whatsoever. And the ending was just so, bland and stereotypical.

I like it. Like most others in this thread, I'm not a fan of the band. CoE was ok, and I have a special place in my heart for Waking the Fallen, but aside from that, I generally think they suck. That said, a song or two every so often from them isn't too bad.

It's eh, although I like the drummer. I still don't think they could have ever topped I Won't See You Tonight though, so there might be some slight bias in there <_<

When comparing Not Ready To Die to such favorites as:

* Unholy Confessions
* Won't See You Tonight P1 & P2
* Beast & the Harlot
* Bat Country
* And All Things Will End
* Afterlife
* Seize The Day
* Nightmare
* Buried Alive

No, in my opinion, it's not better than any of those songs...

BUT, when I look at it as simply a song I either like or dislike plus the fact that it's new and was written in a short time... I am more than overjoyed with it. In fact, I love it!

^C'mon, now. He was obviously trolling. Aside from him, the only out-right negative post in this thread was pope's, and he used at least a little bit of restraint. You're blowing this out of proportion.

I thought about putting it into the other thread, though it wasn't the right thread to begin with, it just happened to turn into A7X talk. I figured that since since they generally well liked around the forums, and that I actually liked it, and that it went with the release of the Call of Duty pack this week, it wouldn't hurt to post. I certainly didn't open this thread to have "two threads to bash A7X".
