Will this be great or has it got disaster written all over it?





Maybe A7X should be doing something to make people like them again like making good songs like the waking the fallen days, not black sabbath covers
i say disaster! hah! .. though i wanna hear how a7x and mastodon covers come out
Mastodon playing ZZ Top might be good, they did a good job on Thin Lizzy’s ‘Emerald’. Nooot so sure about the rest though….
maybe WB should just give in!! this is a rediculas idea
Why paranoid? Thats gotta be the most covered song in the world. No doubt a good song but i 1) dont wanna hear them kill it an 2) there are loads better black sabbath songs.
Adam Sandler?! Awesome.
May not be biggest fan of Avenged Sevenfold, but i think their cover will possibly be the best.
Why cover at all…they should be trying to get good enough for others to want to cover THEM

A7X’s cover will probably be the best one on here. Like them or not, there’s not denying their excellent musicians. Disturbed shouldn’t be bad. Mastadon with Billy Gibbons!? That should be pretty awesome. Can’t wait to hear some of these covers
I think its an excellent idea. A7X will no doubt be one of the best!
a7x is amazing and always has been this is just for fun. they were at they’re best during Waking, but they’re still fuckin amazing!
A7X covering Black Sabbath? Wow. Can’t wait to see how that’ll turn out.
screw that a7x has written songs on their last two albums that were so much better than waking the fallen
I’m excitedto hear that Avenged Sevenfold is covering a sabbath song. They did amazing with Flash of the Blade from Iron Maiden. There are definately better songs they could have done with their tallent. I can’t wait to hear what The Used does with the Talking Heads either. It’s gunna be something to listen to fer sure.
cant wait for avenged sevenfold
haha should be sweeeeeeeet hahah
wish they covered metallica or iron man

you haters can suck it coz A7x will kick your ass and if they don’t then I WILL
i love black sabbath and avenged sevenfold, so i’m super excited to hear it!
i love black sabbath (and a7x) so i’m super excited to hear the track. a7x is the best band/choice to be covering “paranoid.” they’re outstanding musicians.
A7X is the greatest rock band ever! they, can play good cover songs. they, should do on other bands like iron maiden n metallica! Synyster.G plays good guitar solo with Zacky.V on the rythem. Johnny.C Plays a good bassist, while we have a good beat to the awesome drum by The Rev n not to forget the leader of the band M. shadows a great vocalist.!
I love A7X and yea paranoid will be awsome but i have to admit that M, Shadows isnt a good vocalist and i think they would do alot better with a new lead singer that can sing.
wens this coming out…. canny wait for A7X version of paranoid!!!!!
1970 was in high school saw Black Sabbath play Paranoid at the L.A. Forum fell in love with heavy metal. 39 years later my Nephew’s band will do a cover of Paranoid Un – Firkin believable
A7X!!!!!!! all the way babe!!!! haters your just gealous!!!!!
these guys ROCK! whats wrong with you people!!

fuck off will avenged sevenfold cover black sabbath.
yes, paranoid has been covered A LOT over these past years, but…
1: avenged sevenfold are so shit they make me want to rip off my ears with a rusty knife
and
2: because they are so shit, they will ruin that song forever. black sabbath are the best band ever.
looks un balanced from my point of view would have been better if it had Killswitch engage covering Van Halen’s “Aint talking about love” and Coheed and Cambria covering Roxy Music’s “Virginia Plain”
I can’t wait to hear Paranoid by A7X… It’ll be awsome!!!!!!
Look, regardless of weather or not you like Avenged Sevenfold, you know that they’ll do the song justice. Gates is an extremely talented guitarist, even if you don’t like how feminine his sweep picking is. The Rev is one of the most talented drummers of our time, and Shadows has a good metal voice. You know this will be excellent, so quit hating.
when is a7x new album coming out thats what i wanna know!!!!!!
man a7x is gonna play da hell out dat song furget all yall hatas
A7x THE BEST..!!!!

anyone who thinks that m shadows has a shit voice can shampoo my crutch! the bloke can sing!
my superstar is a7x
this should be fun ^_^ but i love a7x as well as some of the others im excited
i think it will be worth listening to and if its as good at there cover of panteras walk it will be epic
OhGawd. I heard the song Paranoid and I think it should be interesting to hear Avenged Sevenfold cover it. Both bands have very different ways of playing. [I can't find the right choice of words... but I hope you get what I'm saying.]
And the Disturbed cover should be good. ;D
As much as i love A7X, syns soloing dueling guitars, M. shadows abrasive yet intone voice, revs brutality and jhonnys leather jacket, i thought paranoid was an interesting choice as avenged has an epic sort of sound these days. i think they should have done pantera – cowboys from hell, that would be sweet, shadows has the perfect voice and i know syn has some of dimes techniques for soloing down.
I just want to sevenfold come back to indonesian.
I wait you syn and his friends !!!!!

all you people that criticize Avenged Sevenfold you have no fuckin clue whay you are talking about, A7X has been the best since it all started out, real fans understand what they are doing and support the band thats what its about and i think that A7X will show this cover will kick some real fuckin ass!
To the idiot who said M Shadows isn’t a good vocalist, u need to get ur ears checked! He is of the best vocalists in the world, no matter what anybody says. His voice is incredible!
omg i’m looking forward….:)

You may not like Avenged Sevenfold’s two most recent albums. But they’re still works of art and therefore still demand respect. And at least they’re not coming out with pure crap like other bands have lately.
But I can’t wait until this compilation comes out. Does anyone know the date?
fuck all you people who talk shit about avenged sevenfold. they are the most amazing band in history. the range of music that they do can reach out to almost anybody. fuck all you people who just listen to one certain kind of music. open your fucking minds you shitheads. it takes more than fucking screaming to make good music. avenged sevenfold is doing what they do best the way they want to do it. and guess what? they’re rich while you’re sitting on ur ass critisizing them.
Fuck that shit dude! Sure Waking the Fallen was a kick-ass album but their new shit rocks too, and their cover of Paranoid is phenomenal! Fuck all A7X Haters!
