[@daryl4841]

Trashed and Scattered is probably my fav song on one of the best albums ever. Love the aggression on that track, and the way it ends.

[@johnpaulst.hilaire4835]

This song is about the death of Dimebag Darrell. I believe it's written from his perspective and the perspective of the killer.

[@clemthegoat8034]

This song was written about Dimebag’s murder.

This song is about the man who shot and killed Dimebag Darrell in cold blood during a show. RIP Dimebag. Machinehead also wrote a song related to this called "Aesthetics of Hate" which is...well.....a very angry song, written towards a news writer who wrote a slam article about Dimebag the day after he died.

[@RunThermal]

damn just listened to the song and that is heavy stuff, guess that's why they call it metal

[@Darkstarex2]

@@RunThermal Pretty much! It was obviously a huge deal in the scene st the time and there was a huge outpouring from the community. Some of these musicians, and just huge fans lost their hero that day. It was a tragedy.

[@RunThermal]

@@Darkstarex2 man, I'll be honest I never really explored rock beyond classic but songs like this make me want to learn more because there feels like there is just this life to the whole scene one continuous and long life with so many experiences and lessons to convey, man music is just so great.

my fav song by A7X and the best guitar solo by SYN in my opinion. its not the fastest or most technical but it has the best flow and timing.

[@cornflakejackson2704]

btw this is about the murder of Dimebad Darrell, from the perspective of the murderer I believe.

[@ghostriotzz6676]

Some of it also came from Dimebags friends perspective and him himself

[@ezramotz1995]

Check out the documentary of how and why Dimebag Darrell was killed on stage while performing that night. It’s on KZbin I think. Very sad and twisted story. The killer was basically a crazy “super fan” of Dime and thought the only way he could live with him forever would be by killing himself and Dime for some maniacal reason. Edit: there’s much more to the story than just that obviously, but basically the guy had some serious mental issues and had a voice in his head telling him he had to do it.

[@codypilgrim1949]

I'm about to sound corny as hell right now, but watching your A7X reactions reminds me why A7X is my favorite band of all time. Going on these musical journeys with someone that appreciates this band the way I do is amazing. You're doing God's work sir!

[@doilydally9856]

I always got a medieval feel from the main riff, but dang, a Sherlock vibe is something I never thought of. It fits the riff well

[@mmaarrttyy123]

My favourite album is Avenged Sevenfold self titled but their most popular is City of Evil for sure. Bat Country is a must. The song that broke them in to the mainstream and still one of their most popular songs. It is the lead single from City of Evil. You can't say you truly know A7X without doing this song.

[@coreymcdaniel2759]

Any of the three from City of Evil is amazing. That album is pretty much the closest thing to perfection in metal or rock music.

[@Insanezombie23M]

Warmess on the Soul- A7X. Off their first album

[@VIKINGKING95]

You know I will never miss a A7X song Hands down my all-time favorite band have seen the live 4 times so excited for the next album hopefully this year

D-Gibby, you keep pumping out these City of Evil reactions, I will watch my man. This one makes me sad though. Still is a musical work of art.

[@elifierro8309]

I like how you broke down that first part. Cause that's how i was thinkin when i broke down the lyrics myself. But then you learn what the song is really about and then it really makes sense 💯

[@dustinmiller2369]

On self album they started having the other band members sing back up on recording so it sounded better live

[@zaneliddle7597]

Please do ""Unbound" by a7x. The vocals are insane and you will love it.

[@kdxracer184]

Some of M Shadows best vocals on track imo. I think he would really like the song "the fight" from diamonds in the rough.

[@cornflakejackson2704]

CoE is indefinitely the greatest record to come from a7x.

[@theKCsyoutube]

[@nicksproductions100]

I love how accurate his prediction to this song was gonna be. I’m impressed.

[@zelosthewilder]

This song was written about the murder of Dimebag Darrell from somebody who believed Dimebag was stealing his guitar riffs and making songs out of them. The shooter killed Dimebag during a live show of I believe the band was Damageplan (after leaving Pantera) and shot into the crowd, I believe, and ultimately ended up dying himself from a shot to the face from the security guard. This happened in between the releases of Waking The Fallen and City Of Evil. All of this is what I read on Wikipedia and I have not looked at other websites to verify the truth of it, but it makes sense to me.

[@davidjones5490]

I agree

[@tylerperry4318]

I greatly enjoy the Nightmare album. But for me personally, City of Evil is their best. My old singer of the band I used to be used to call it “the best album Judas Priest never made” lol. I will concede that I consider Nightmare a VERY close 2nd place to City of Evil though.

[@mbabaneamputee7725]

@@tylerperry4318 I think City of Evil is the better album but Nightmare has better songs. Does that make any sense? Lmaooo

@@mbabaneamputee7725 oh yeah for sure makes sense. I would say that overall City of Evil is my favorite album but I like more of the songs on Nightmare better with obvious exceptions being Strength of the World, Beast and the Harlot, The Wicked End, and Blinded In Chains being my favorite song of theirs period.

I always looked at it as, the character saying "I" and "Me" is the the younger trainee or whatever you'd like to call it, and the person he is talking to is the mentor. The mentor trained him, raised him like his own son and now the kid is older and still looks up to this guy. The mentor betrayed him and so at the end of the song, "one thing left to finish, you" He kills the mentor. The mentor betrayed him.

[@nephew455]

This was explained when the album came out. Dimebag didn't betray anyone, he was the one betrayed

I asked on Twitter a while ago if you coukd do St. James by A7X. Please? @dgibbyfit could you react to "St. James" by Avenged Sevenfold? It has a double meaning.
