[NEWS] Arin Ilejay, Drummer Baru Avenged Sevenfold

Berikut adalah isi pesan dari Official Avenged Sevenfold:


“We recently asked several friends who knew Jimmy and his style, and also knew our music and each of our personalities to suggest drummers to tour with us starting this year. Our long time studio drumtech, Mike Fasano, recommended Arin Ilejay. We've rehearsed with Arin and have been impressed with his technical skills, attitude and workethic. We're very excited to tour with Arin and hope all of you will give him the warm welcome to the family we have.

Thanks for your never ending support. It means the world to us.

See you on the Nightmare After Christmas.”

[NEWS] Mike Portnoy Berpisah Dengan Avenged Sevenfold

Avenged Sevenfold telah berpisah dengan drummer Mike Portnoy.

Portnoy, yang biasa bermain di Dream Theater dan dirancang setelah kematian drummer pendiri Avenged Sevenfold, Jimmy 'The Rev' Sullivan tahun lalu, memainkan drum di album band terbaru 'Nightmare', yang dirilis Juli lalu.

Dia membuat pernyataan dalam website resminya Mikeportnoy.com, pagi ini tanggal 16 Desember mengumumkan kepergiannya dari A7X. Portnoy juga menjelaskan bahwa ini merupakan keputusan band tersebut.

“Sadly my time with Avenged Sevenfold has come to an end (sayangnya waktu saya dengan Avenged Sevenfold harus berakhir),” tulisnya. “The band has decided to carry on into 2011 without me. I had a great time with them throughout 2010, but it was their choice to end the relationship at the end of 2010 as was always the initial plan (Band telah memutuskan untuk melanjutkan ke 2011 tanpa saya. Banyak waktu dengan mereka sepanjang tahun 2010, tapi itu adalah pilihan mereka untuk mengakhiri hubungan pada akhir tahun 2010 sebagai rencana awal).”

Dia menambahkan “I had an awesome time on stage with the guys every night and have so many cool memories from the experience with them, I am proud to always be part of the Avenged Sevenfold family and history. I also adore the Avenged Sevenfold fans and totally appreciate the way they welcomed me aboard and were so loving and supportive during my time with the band... thank you! (aku memiliki waktu yang sangat menarik di panggung dengan teman teman setiap malam dan banyak kenangan hebat dari pengalaman bersama mereka, saya bangga menjadi bagian dari keluarga dan sejarah Avenged Sevenfold. Saya juga mengagumi fans Avenged Sevenfold dan sangat menghargai cara mereka menyambut saya dan sangat mencintai dan mendukung selama waktu saya bersama band ini. Terima kasih!)”

Avenged Sevenfold harus menjalani tur AS pada Januari hingga Februari 2011 dan juga telah dikonfirmasi slot di UK. Namun band tersebut belum mengumumkan pengganti Mike Portnoy di posisi drum.

Mike, Anda luar biasa. Terima kasih sudah menjadi pengganti sementara Jimmy. We love you ;)

Emo: Dear God by Avenged Sevenfold

Ternyata Warmness On The Soul belum bisa menggantikan posisi lagu ini di hati saia.
Tahukah? Lagu ini punya kenangan tersendiri. Sekitar dua tahun lalu ketika saia masih kelas X tepat di bulan November-Desember. Setiap saia pulang sekolah, saia selalu memutar radio dan lagu ini selalu mengalun. Betapa deh! Sebenarnya ada kenangan lain tapi ga usah di ekspos lah yah..


“A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
While I recall all the words you spoke to me
Can ’t help but wish that I was there
Back where I’d love to be,
oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
But I left her when I found her
And now I wish I’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

There’s nothing here for me on this barren road
There ’s no one here while the city sleeps
and all the shops are closed
Can ’t help but think of the times I’ve had with you
Pictures and some memories will have to help me through,
oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need that person who can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I ’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again

Some search, never finding a
way
Before long, they waste away
I found you, something told
me to stay
I gave in, to selfish ways
And how I miss someone to hold when hope begins to fade…

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line
Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find
Dear God the only thing I ask of you is to hold her when I’m not around,
when I’m much too far away
We all need the person who
can be true to you
I left her when I found her
And now I wish I ’d stayed
’Cause I’m lonely and
I’m tired
I’m missing you again oh no
Once again”


Setiap mendengar lagu ini yang terbayang adalah mengendarai mobil, melintas padang gurun di kawasan Texas, trus si Zacky mainan gitar country-nya aw haha (:

I'm in ♥ with Avenged Sevenfold

I don't care how comes they're named theirs with “Avenged Sevenfold”!
I don't care about the personality of their members !
I don't care about their privacy !

I just care about their songs, their creativity, and their work!
Actually I dislike metalcore but since I've seen them I think I'm in love with metalcore especially their songs!
First song I heard was 'Almost Easy' !
I didn't really like that song!
But when I heard 'Dear God' then 'woww thats a country rock' I said !
I've appreciated their song since the moment!
The greatest song of theirs (in my opinion) is 'Warmness on the Soul' !
So romantic in ballad.
But 'Seize the Day' and 'Nightmare' are not really bad!
I love one of their members is Zachary James Baker. I think he's so cool of his left hand guitarist ;)
Well, I respect The Rev's death privacy !
Condolences :/
At least, I feel deep love in AVENGED SEVENFOLD !!

[LYRIC] Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold

Now your nightmare comes
to life.
Dragged you down below
Down to the devils show
To be his guest forever
Peace of mind is less than
never
Hate to twist your mind
But God ain't on your side
An old acquaintance severed
Burn the world your last
endeavor
Ashes is burning
You can smell it in the air
Cause men like you have
such an easy soul to steal
(steal)
So stand in line while banging
numbers in your head
You're now a slave until the
end of time
Nothing stops the madness
turning, haunting, yearning
pull the trigger
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you
belong here
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
While your nightmare comes
to life
Can't wake up in sweat
Cause it ain't over yet
Still dancing with your
demons
Victim of your own creation
Beyond the will to fight
Where all that's wrong is
right
Where hate don't need a
reason
Love is self-assassination
You've been lied to
Just to rape you of your
sight
And now they have the
nerve to tell you how to feel
(feel)
So sedated as they medicate
your brain
And while you slowly go
insane they tell ya
"Given with the best
intentions, help you with
your complications"
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you
belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare
(Break)
(Maniacal laughter)
Fight (Fight! ). not to fail
(fail! )
Not to fall (fall! )
Or you'll end up like the
others
Die (Die! ), die again (die! )
Drenched in sin (sin! )
With no respect for another
Down(Down! ), feel the fire
(fire! )
Feel the hate(hate! )
Your pain is what we desire
Lost (Lost! ), hit the wall
(wall! )
Watch you crawl (crawl! )
Such a replaceable liar
And I know you hear their
voices
Calling from above
And I know they may seem
real
These signals of love
But our life's made up of
choices
Some without appeal
They took for granted your
soul
And it's ours now to steal
As your nightmare comes to
life
You should have known
The price of evil
And it hurts to know that you
belong here
Yeah
No one to call
Everybody to fear
Your tragic fate
Is looking so clear
Yeah
Oooooooh
It's your fucking nightmare

[LYRIC] Warmness on the Soul by Avenged Sevenfold

Your hazel green tint eyes watching every move I make.
And that feeling of doubt, it's erased.
I'll never feel alone again with you by my side.
You're the one, and in you I confide. NO (oh-oh-oh)

And we have gone through good and bad times.
But your unconditional love was always on my mind.
You've been there from the start for me.
And your loves always been true as can be.
I give my heart to you.
I give my heart, cause nothing can compare in this world to you.
(Woh-oh-oh)
