Shreddy, set....GO!
Zacky and Cam Rackam recently decided to collaborate on a very cool project for charity...so taken directly from Cam Rackams site in his own words...
"Shreddy is a one of a kind Guitar. Not only a piece of art but a brilliantly designed and well constructed working guitar. The actual color is slightly more purple, but Zacky didnt want to obstruct the rest of the colors by changing the photo. All of the hardware is exclusivly taken from the Vengence Standard Platinum Model, except the pic guard which Schecter custom fabricated a clear version for us, so the graphic isn't obstructed. There are many Zacky Vengence Graphics on the front of the guitar and the back has a more Cam Rackam image based. All of the paint has a low mix of metal flake in it giving the guitar a metallic reflection.
Shreddy will be on display at the South Of Heaven Art Show in Costa Mesa, Ca on Oct 20. He will then be auctioned for charity on ebay shortly after, and a portion of the proceeds will go the yellow ribbon fund. A charity that supports injured veterans, that dont get proper aid when they return home. Many of our friends and family served and weve been very lucky to have all of them return, so this is an important charity for us personally.
For more info go to www.yellowribbonfund.com
If you have anymore questions about Shreddy or you want a Custom Painted Cam Rackam Guitar, contact Zacky or/and Cam at www.camrackam.com, www.myspace.com/camrackam, or at [email protected]"
Thank you to Cam Rackam, Schecter Guitars and most importantly you! let the bidding begin

M. SHADOWS TALKS DVD
This DVD has been 8 years in the making. We didn't want to cheat the fans by putting out a standard live DVD. Instead we wanted to focus on giving back to our fans by showing them what makes 5 best friends from Huntington Beach eat, sleep and breathe the Avenged Sevenfold lifestyle. This DVD shows everything from life backstage on the bus to some of the first shows in our hometown. We didn't leave anything off that fans have been asking about for all these years. Unlike cookie-cutter concert DVD's this is a documentary you can watch again and again.

-M. Shadows

The fact that the band wanted to do something special with ALL EXCESS shouldn't come as a surprise when you consider that despite the band's success, A7X have never remade the same album twice; instead, they tirelessly continue to reinvent themselves and push their creative limits. Starting with Avenged Sevenfold's humble beginnings in Huntington Beach, California, ALL EXCESS documents how this group of five social outcasts met in elementary school and quickly became not only bandmates but also best friends. From touring in a cramped van and playing underground shows to headlining arenas and touring with their musical heroes Metallica (which was documented when M. Shadows made an appearance on the cover of Revolver Magazine with James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich), this DVD is the ultimate treat for fans of the band - many of whom have the band's iconic Death Bat logo tattooed on their bodies. Watching the DVD, it's easy to see that although the band gain legions of fans with every new tour and album, they continue to maintain a unique relationship in for years to come.

Avenged Sevenfold'S Band Members are:


..

Avenged Sevenfold featuring M. Shadows (vocals), Synyster Gates (lead guitar), Zacky Vengeance (guitar), Johnny Christ (bass) and The Reverend (drums) is embracing the ride of their wildly successful release City of Evil on Warner Bros. Records. The album produced by Mudrock (Godsmack, Eighteen Visions) incorporates epic guitar solos, a bowel-rumbling bottom end and the gloomy imagery of vintage British metal (Rolling Stone).


City of Evil was certified gold on the wings of their explosive hits Bat Country and Beast And The Harlot, with the next single, Seize The Day set to impact this summer. Videos for Bat Country and Beast And The Harlot have been in heavy rotation at MTV, MTV2, MTVU, Fuse and Yahoo!

Visionary director Wayne Isham (Metallica, Velvet Revolver) has directed the powerful, gut wrenching video for the emotive and rocking Seize The Day. The band has been a dominating force on Myspace with over 12,000,000 hits to their page.


Avenged Sevenfold has just completed a triumphant U.S. arena tour culminating in two sold out nights at Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC, and mainstay on OZZfests mainstage.



"There's an escalating race to be the new face of metal...and with City Of Evil, A7X could very well be the victors," trumpeted Alternative Press, while the band's hometown paper, the O.C. Register, proclaimed, "...A7X hurtles past contemporaries to re-emerge a seasoned powerhouse...issuing a superior, tuneful metal album that ranks among the genre's best this decade!"


"We're at the point where we've come into our own," vocalist M. Shadows says of the ambitious City Of Evil, an 11-song collection that gives a middle finger to the idea of categorization, bridging the sonic guitar assault of Iron Maiden with the frenetic pace of Bad Religion and the musicianship of Dream Theater. "In Southern California, you're really brought up in the whole punk world. At the same time, we grew up listening to Pantera, Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer records," Shadows recalls. "You think you want to play in a certain kind of band, but that moment passes and you find yourself writing music that just comes out naturally. We're definitely not afraid to put anything in our songs if we think it calls for it."


Avenged Sevenfold produced a perfect metal moment live during the orchestral interlude in "The Wicked End," complemented by a boys choir and 14-piece string section that melds their intensity with a musical daring their hard rock forefathers would be proud of. Those looking primarily for a cathartic release live only need turn to the ferocious energy of "Bat Country," a song written for Hunter S. Thompson about the band's adventures in Las Vegas.


As with their live show, City Of Evil goes well beyond conventional hard rock. The band throws in a beautiful Flamenco guitar solo near the end of the savage "Sidewinder," and the record bursts with displays of their stellar musicianship, from the intricate tempo changes of "Burn It Down" to the tender acoustic intro of a Spaghetti Western mixed with classical melody that provides the calm before the storm in the savage "Strength Of The World."


All of the success the band is enjoying means a lot to the five members because they've worked hard to get to this point. "We've seen bands that we started out with that got a bit of a head start or an early break, and they're done now. We've learned so much more doing it from the ground up. We've had so many more good times and bad times. It has made us stronger as a band," Vengeance says.


Hard work is what also accounts for the Avengeds fiercely loyal following, according to Shadows. "It's rewarding to know we have a really solid core fan base that believes in us and our music, and sees Avenged Sevenfold as a lifestyle," he says. "We don't ever fall because our fans are holding us up, and that cant just get pulled out from underneath us. It's very gratifying to be at this place now."

"All Excess DVD"
..

M. Shadows aka Matthew Charles Sanders is the lead singer for the Band Avenged Sevenfold. He is one of the original founders of the band which was formed while he was still in high school. His original background in music was deeply engrained in the metalcore of the West Coast. He lists his influences as Guns N' Roses, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, and Pantera. His screaming influence is Philip Anselmo of Pantera. He is a former member of the punk band "Successful Failure".
Matt had minor throat surgery done to repair a vocal strain. The strain was caused the large amount of screaming in the first album Sounding the Seventh Trumpet. He did not undergo surgery to repair a rupture or torn vocal cord(s).
Matt is a very strong support of the American troops overseas. Thus the reason why he wrote the song MIA. He however stresses that the band is not political or protest band. They do not plan on becoming one either.
Interesting tid bits

Quotes

-"We may not be as bad as people make us out to be but we still like to have fun."


-"I had this batman outfit that my mom bought me. I'd ride on my skateboard wearing it with Guns N'Roses "Lies" playing. I'd play "One in a Million" over and over again because it had shitty words in it. Everyone would throw shit at me because I was a complete nerd but I didn't care. I was listening to metal."


-"It just kind of morphed into "hey lets rock out together".


-"No one knows what I think, they don't know me and they never will. You can't be in a band like this and be a reclusive, sit-in-the-corner guy. If you are like that you'll never dominate."


-"We want to be the band that everyone has to go and see."


-"Our fans like our honesty. They know they'll get the truth from us. That's why they become fanatic. It's like a life style, a look and a vibe. You might not agree with what we say but you know where not bullshitting. We don't smell of corporate shit."


-"This is what we are either love it or hate it."


-"That's part of who we are. If people have a problem then it's obviously jealousy."


-"The reality is we get up at 6 in the morning and work our asses off. We make sure every show is the best show possible. Then we cut loose."


-"We don't consider being on TRL an accomplishment. We want to be selling out stadiums and selling millions of records."


-"When other bands tour with us they ususally say, wow! I learned a lot from A7X because they have their shit together."


-"No matter how I word this it's gonna sound bad. We changed because we wanted to play the kind of music we liked but we were smart enough to want to be listenable. to more people. We knew the metalcore thing had a cap on it. There's only so far you can go doing that."


-I'll play hold'em if I'm sober and blackjack if I'm drunk.


-"The first Metallica record I ever got was "And Justice For All". The video for one was my dads favorite. He got me the tape and I just flipped out. I went out and bought the entire back catalog."


-"To do this tour let alone sing onstage with Metallica in Berlin it's something you can't even imagin when your just starting out in a garage. It's insane, it's a dream come true. You can't even put it into words."


-"We have come to a spot where we have confidence in our own musical judgement and we are going to write a record that's truely us."


-"Yeah we're cocky, because we have confidence in what we do. We believe in what we do, and we've been successful at it."


-"I want this to be a mature record, One where everyone can listen to it and get something out of it." "We want to do something that's completely original and completely us and not worry about trying to emulate someone elses record. I think that's what being mature is-- doing your own thing and not worrying about what sounds cool at the time or what you used to listen to."


-"I really like guns, but everyone thinks I shouldn't get one because of my temper and they're probably right. I've had people come to my house before to fuck with me and I'd have shot them for sure if I had a gun. I just wouldn't be able to control myself. I know because I've tried to stab a guy before, and I've beat the shit out of people. It just wouldn't be a good idea."



Matt's Teenaged Misadventures

Matt and undisclosed others broke into a school and started small fires-it got out of control-"We were like shit!" "We got to go now!" "As we were leaving we heard all these fire engines. We got on top of one of my friends roof and watched the whole school burn to the ground."


Matt got into a brawl with guys from a rival neighborhood and ended up spending the night in jail for assaulting a cop. These dudes were throwing bottles at us and then there car got caught in a cul-de-sac. So I ran up with a whole can full of bottles and smashed in their front window. Then I threw brass nuckles through the back window. The neighbors thought the sound was gunshots and called the police. So we ran through the park. These cops on motorcyles pulled up with guns out and yelled "get down!" and me being an antagonistic fuck said what the fucks the problem officer? So a cop kicks me in the back of the leg and shoves me down. I got up and hit him. then he hit me. So I grabbed him by the throat. Finally all the cops with guns put me in fucking hand cuffs and one of them cracks me in the back of the head with a maglite. That's the reason I didn't spend time in jail because he hit me and I had proof.

He also enjoys horror movies and skulls.Quotes:"I've never felt that way. I've never felt like a looser. You can't get what you want if you feel like it's you against the world. You'll never get anywhere with negativity. I make my own opportunities I don't feel like everything is against me." "All of us knew it then at the first rehearsal. We thought we were the biggest band in the world before we even played a show. We knew that was what we wanted to do. We just had to find a way to make it work." "Johnny would bite your fuckin' ankles." " I was born out of a vagina that was pretty depraved." " There was a time when metal ruled the world and I don't see any reason why it should be different now." "I think alot of the time writers try to make us sound like a stupid young kid. You don;t get to where we are by being a stupid kid that just loves titty bars. We're really smart, and everything we do is really thought out, and they just want to make us look like party machines with stupid opinions on politics. We're more than what people want to write about." "Zacky Vengeance-Fuck yeah! It's going to be on my tombstone. It's a huge part of my life. Only my family has been there longer." "When we made the change some kids didn't like it. They'll come back around. A lot of people are scared of change and that's why there's not a lot of bands out there doing anything creative." "All the other bands in our genre, heavy bands it's like they've given up and given it over to rap. They say aw..fuck TRL. You don't take over the world by leaving unconquered territory." "When I get a platnium record I'll do a double-line." "It's 1999-upside down- That was the year we formed the band. But 6661 is cool cuz it's like Satan won. To me that's the real number of the beast." "We got to the point where we got sick of the screaming and we didn't want to contribute to the noise pollution anymore. Then we realized that all our favorite bands didn't scream." "It's been like that from day one though. There's no middle ground with us. One of the first reviews we got best album of the month and we also got worst album of the month at the same time. It's like maybe we are onto something here."

Birthdate: 07/07/1981.
Quote:"Just so you know you don't play guitar with you neck broke. You play it with your bum-bum."
-Synyster Gates-
"All Excess DVD".
.. Synyster Gates aka Brian Elwin Haner Jr. is the lead guitarist for Avenged Sevenfold. He is well known for his fedora hat. He is the son of Brian Haner Sr. a country guitarist/stand-up comedian/official accustic guitar player for A7X who is often referred to as Papa Gates.Synyster joined A7X in 1999, before the release of Sounding the Seventh trumpet. He was originally in a punk band called Pinkly Smooth with Drummer The Rev. Pinkly Smooth was disbanded because Synyster and The Rev wanted to devote all their time to A7X.Synyster attended The Muscians Institute in Hollywood, California as part of the GIT program. He studied Jazz guitar citing Django Reinhardt as a major influence. Synyster cites Dimebag Darrell of Pantera,Damage Plan, Slash of Guns N' Roses, Velvet Revolver, and John Petrucci, Dream Theater as his guitar influences.Synyster has been named guitarist of the year by "Total Guitar Magazine". He also won the Dimebag Darrell "young shredder award" in 2006 "Golden God Awards" run by "Metal Hammer".Synyster has his own clothing line. Syn Gates Clothing include T-shirts, gloves, and hoodie. He recently was featured in Good Charlottes video "The River".Quotes:"This is a tight unit-we'll hang-out with you but......" "There have been physical assaults. I've been kicked and called names." "There are definitely people out there that would kill us." "I've been awake for 4 days straight on drugs. That was the longest." "We are so passionate about this band that we don't want to fuck up". "If I had to do anything else in this world I would be a failure. I was an honor student until 4th grade, when I got a guitar in my hand. Then I quickly became an educational failure. This is all I can do now and I want to do the best." "I'm totally going to do a big line of coke off my first gold record". "Our biggest fear is to be lumped into one category. We first got labeled as a metalcore band. So we quit screaming. now we're bringing all these influences together to forge an A7X style." "When we started out on "City of Evil" we were like if it happens, but we didn't expect any of this stuff. I'm just really proud that we wrote the album that we did and that it did cross-over, because it's pretty ridiculous, crazy, ambitious album. For it to be accepted in the world of radio and MTV and to win the VMA. It's pretty insane!" "When you play A7X music, your fingers are going to get sour and your drummer is going to have leg spasms." "Being different is crutial these days but it gets harder all the time to get there sanely". "I love jazz from a metal stand point crazy arpeggios with tons of altered holes but equally palatable as the straight ahead stuff. Anything to make it heavier, goofier, funnier. I'm a big climax guy. I want every song to be a rollar coaster ride, but to never forget about structure and melody. You broaden fans horizons if you do it right." "The .50 caliber is the loudest , craziest thing I've ever shot or heard or seen in my entire life. That and the .45 are my 2 dream guns. I've got tons of other guns from my gandpa but those are my babies. Some people give you shit about having guns but I don't give a fuck. It's my right and responsibility."

He has a cowboy tattoo on his neck.Misadventures of JohnnyWe have a term for Johnny. We call him the cross-eyed drunk. He gets so drunk that any other on of us or any normal human being would pass out and get sick. But his body will never make him pass out. So he never has to stop. But he is not conscious at all and he is just doing the most unspeakable things. Hell just sit there barely able to move, pouring more and more alcohol into his mouth. -as told by The Rev-Johnny's comedy hour- It involved Christ drinking himself silly. Then engaging in inpromptu stand-up comedy while his band mates egged him on. He walked on the bus, puked, then stripped down naked. and did stand-up. When he could barely talk. We had a $500.00 cleaning bill the next day and we were laughing our asses off. There is one point where he goes to his bunk and tries to pass out, then gets pulled out and it looks like a dead body being dragged across the floor. Then he covers his naked body in sun tan lotions and starts telling jokes again. -as told by Zacky-Johnny dumped urine on the heads of the take action tour production crew.-as told by Zacky-Equipment:Ernie Ball Music Man Sterling Bass (assorted colors) Gallien Krueger 4x12 Neo.

She is known in the porn world as Teen Topanga. They both have tattoos on their ring finger. Leana has Jimmy and Jimmy has Topanga.Quotes:I tore out of my mother's womb as a bloody, screaming mess causing her as much pain as possible. I'd say that was depraved. Everyone in this band has beaten Johnny up at some point. I beat myself off 17 time in one day. That's the worst beating I've ever handed out. I was so sore that it was hard to get that last load out. Rev's misadventureAfter Rev and friends tried to rob a store he recieved a week in county lock up with 2 years probation. As we ran out this security guard jumps onto the car we drove away and he was hanging half out of the car trying to stop us- The police threatened us with attempted manslaughter.
