I love how Brooks is quiet for the first 10 minutes and then drops the "that's what his mom said" What a boss hahaha

Dude seems mad hilarious, I like him

[@kimkulesa3041]

Aitiana Kupferscmid - Thought I was the only one who thought that, cause always read comments from their songs/interview. Yours , first one I've seen that made comment u did. Was telling someone that, and think they thought I was crazy or something, stressing how much I loved his voice when talking, but I absolutely do and agree with u 100%. What is there not to love about this guy. One real lucky wife he has, that's for sure.

[@TheDemonicHorseman]

I love his voice.

[@hazardgaminghg122]

His voice is amazing, singing and not singing.

brooks doesn't speak too often, but when he does...it's gold, and it's always profound. the guy's incredibly knowledgeable and funny 😂

@@tomasgenta823 wouldn't say worst. They wrote really great riffs and lyrics. But they are overrated imo and repititve unlike Avenged who brought something new on every album. People like to praise metallica just cuz they are old. If a7x started in thd 80's and metallica started in 1999, people will talk shit about metallica and praise a7x

As a mexican A7X fan I still feel ashamed for what happened back in 2009 when they got booed in Metallica's concert three days in a row, I was dying to go to see A7X's concert but I couldn't, and it broke my soul that I couldn't be there supporting them with all my strength as the many other fans were booing them, to this day I still feel wrong not being there and I'm surprised A7X still remembers those days as I do

[@likeanuuk6612]

thats the sad reality of music. these days everybody hates black veil brides, a7x had the same problem. but these guys in a7x are tough guys who never gave up, thanks to fans like you. so you dont have to feel bad about it

[@georgew1857]

why was A7X booed?

[@likeanuuk6612]

Matt aged in reverse. I mean seriously, he looks younger in this interview than he did in the Afterlife music video. And that was 11 years ago.

[@tylersteez]

This interview reminds me of when they used to be on TRL and other MTV/fuse interviews way back in 2006, feels nostalgic

I just want to say they did a great job with their goal, I'm a huge Metallica fan who saw them on this tour and I was SO impressed by the guitar, particularly Syn, that I went home and downloaded a bunch of their music - they won me over!

[@deproissant]

Neil's voice being iconic is so true. I first listened to Exist not knowing anything about it except it being 15 minutes long, but when his part struck I was immediately like, "is this Neil Tyson?"

[@SpazzShell]

I feel like matts first couple of comments about the crowd was kind of sarcastic. Metallica fans(not all, just most) were complete dicks to them. They gave no energy, laughed at them, yelled stupid shit like "End the song". And it's a Metallica show, most Metallica fans already don't think highly of A7X. I don't know why they have a God complex when it comes to music. I'm just glad Avenged Sevenfold will be headlining again, with fans and people who just like music.

[@soakedbearrd]

Yeah I hear you. Im a huge metallica fan and getting up there now (39), and I use to HATE on this group. But someone put me on to Shepard of fire and I digged it, then found Save me and I was like man I never gave these guys a chance. Funny enough I'm liking their thinking as far as evolving their sound. Wasnt into the more core raw parts of their earlier career but post nightmare I think theve developed their own style. So I now consider myself a fan, whereas before I was more purist (metallica, megadeth, pantera, iron madien, black sabbath, etc..). For me new music was considered SOAD (who are considered old now lol). I was also into proggy stuff (like tool) and theyve seem to be adding more prog elements. But ive expanded my own tastes listening to bands I wouldnt normally listen to (including growls like Death). You have to grow your musical tastes else you get stuck like those dude listening to hairbands and remembering the partying and pussy they got in the 80's.

[@Sjokoladesuppe]

oh man, Shadows always looks so different without the glasses.

[@garydepena2332]

Mannn saw them open for Metallica on Sunday and they fucking kicked ass. Been a huge fan since Waking the Fallen and they've had their ups and downs throughout the years obviously with the Rev and M. Shadows change in vocal style but they've fought back from it all and this albums shows they're in a fucking awesome place now🤘🏼

[@jakeenglish3448]

Gary De Pena I'm seeing them open fo Metallica on June 16th in Texas, and I'm super excited. I figured they would kick ass, but I'm still glad you said that. so about how long was their set?

[@garydepena2332]

Jake English yeah man they play just about an hour. Super cool they play a few songs off of every album def. all their most recognizable ones. You can check out their setlist for the tour on Setlist.fm if you want!
