How did you discover A7X?

Joh7x cracks me up, love the way she writes too

Aww. :3 I love you too!!!

I personally think my writing is really weird; to me it's like the wording is off somehow. I know what I want to say in my mind but actually spelling it out is awkward at times.

Though I thank you both for the compliment!

Hearing Jimmy passed away.

I first heard A7X in the video game Nascar Thunder 2004, the song was Chapter Four. I liked the song but it wasn't my style at the time. Cause at that time I was into country music (yeah go ahead and laugh lol jk), anyway. A few years went by. Last year (September 2010) I started liking this song that I kept hearing on the radio, and the song was Nightmare. I didn't know what their name was until a few days later. When I found out their name I went online and researched them. (Because of computer problems I wasn't able to use internet often, cause I had to go to the library to use it). And then I wasn't able to catch Nightmare on the radio for several days. I finally said "since I cant hear it on the radio I'll buy the CD", and then I got the Nightmare album and I absolutely loved every song on it. Then I went back on the internet and I started listening to some of their older songs and I liked them too. Then in December I got the self-titled CD and I loved every song on it too. Then at that time my computer problems was over, I started listening to all of their other songs on the internet. I now love all of their songs. And today I still listen to the Nightmare & self-titled cd's and go on youtube to listen to their other songs because I can't buy their other albums right now.

Kinda a long story but I just decided to tell the whole story lol. And I regret not becoming a fan when I first heard them in 2004/2005. But I'm now a fan from September 2010-til-foREVer.

i know they have been out for quite sometime now but i really got into them while hanging out at my favorite strip club and they constantly play "nightmare" i knew the voice sounded familiar and had to by the cd..and damn have i been missing some awesome shit to say the least.....i now own every cd and cant wait to get the chance to see them live...and for fuck sakes the lead singing share my same exact birthday year and all!!

That makes you, hmm, 31 days younger than me

Welcome to the boards shellneil, hope to see you around.

I discovered A7X around eh, 2009. I was in weightlifting class in school, and one kid brought in a mix tape, and it had "Almost Easy". I loved it, and then, I listened to it a bunch. I heard "Bat Country" on the radio in 2005, and I was a little Jump 5 pop crap kid, and I was all like, "Holy crap. I love this!" and I never could remember who did it, then it was on again, and I'm all like, "did he just say TOASTERS?!" It was doses. lol.
So, then after The Rev passed, I spent the whole day I heard about it, listening to Almost Easy. I really got into them after my friend Evee showed me A Little Piece of Heaven. Now, I'm hooked. <3 Oh, and a few years ago, I got All Excess, and all my sister amd I would sing is "Grapes in the Mouth". I cried when I had to pack it in storage earlier this year :'(

I have City of Evil, Nightmare, and Self Titled CD wise. and THATS my story on how I discovered A7X/

Just after Nightmare was released all my friends were talking about A7X a lot, I still decided to stay away from listening to them because I was more of a rock fan until my friend insisted that I listened to a few songs. Within about 3 weeks I had ALL their songs on my phone listening to them constantly.. and now they're my fave band! :p

I was on YouTube listening to my then favourite band Fozzy and their new song. I went down to read the comments and it says stuff like thumbs up if youre here for M.Shadows. I felt insulted that people were listening to my favourite band because of a singer who isnt a member of Fozzy. I knew M.Shadows had a guest appearence on Sandpaper by Fozzy and thought his band might sound vaguely like them. So i decided to give them a listen and the first song I listened to was Nightmare. I looked down I saw that this song had 34,000,000 views and that was much more than I was used to with Fozzy. So I pressed the play button and was blown away from there.

They instantly became my favourite band of all time and I have all of their albums, the Live In The LBC DVD as well as a T shirt and a massive poster of them on my wall.

I then listened to all their interviews on YouTube and they were so funny and quirky that its impossible not to like them

Long live Avenged Sevenfold.

bat country was on tv a lot after the single came out, i instantly fell in love!!

Ill admit the first time I heard them was playing guitar hero 2 and I thought shads sounded like a girl. LMFAO but fate have it a few years later I was listening to my radio drifting off to sleep and scream came on, and I absolutely FLIPED OUT!!!!!!!! The next day went to fye and bought the self titled, first time I ever listened to a cd straight through without skipping. The next few days were filled with countless hours on YouTube and I was in love. In 2011 I seen them live on the welcome to the family tour(I think ) and then again a few months later at uproar and haven't gone a day without hearing them. They have definitely gotten me through ALOT of tough shit.

I first heard A7X back in 2005 I had a friend introduce them to me while on vacation I was only 11

I can't believe I haven't seen many people find them out through Need For Speed: Most Wanted! When I was a kid I just loved wrecking police cars in my Lamborghini jamming out to Blinded In Chains!

I "discovered" A7X thanks to Kerrang! magazine

Pandora is actually how I found them xD
