Avenged Sevenfold Wins 'Best New Artist' at the 2006 VMAs

[@Wildchildinc]

Such a throwback, no one ever expected A7X to take out those big names they were contending with.

[@puppetmaster8551]

Lookin back all these years later it’s fuckin insane they actually won out over all of them, I still can’t believe it. Chris brown couldn’t believe it either lol, man was lookin salty as fuck

[@puppetmaster8551]

@@justheretoruinyourday9499 fuck Chris brown lol, him not winning the award and being salty brings me great joy even 16-17 years later. Also kind of off topic but I can’t believe this shit was 16-17yrs ago, what a trip. Just over 2 years and city of evil will be 20yrs old, that shit is wild to me

[@tab7madeup]

@@puppetmaster8551 I'd love to see James Blunt reaction lol. He must be upset that his songs, "You're Beautiful", didn't won. I think it's tight between him and A7x song

[@PearlJamfansaresmart]

Lol. Big names? Imagine them competing at any point the decade before. The likes of Pearl Jam, Alice, Nirvana, SG, Nirvana. Freaking Panic at the Disco?!?! 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@CherryWallflower]

a7x winning this felt like a win for the weird kids LOL I remember being so excited watching this happen on the tv in the living room when my family wasn't home so I could scream as loud as I wanted in excitement

They looked like they were about to beat the shit out of the autotune singers :D

2:57 Zacky trying to take the mic from The Rev because he knows he’ll say something absurd lmaoo 😂. Also M.Shadows’ face is priceless lol

[@secondhandsomejob1954]

I remember watching this as a teen and nobody expected A7X to win...even if they gave it to a rock artist, Angels And Airwaves was pretty hyped that time since that's when Tom left blink...and when they won everyone was saying wtf...and I'm pretty sure the band did as well

[@carrieburns9535]

Fucking love this. I love everyone's faces especially the nominees. They're all like "wtf just happened?!" Then there's The Rev. Fucking Priceless. And they're still kicking asses and taking names. That's music if you ask me. I'm so thrilled that they won that award, especially back then against those Big Name Pop Musicians. REVelutionary.

[@quackson1850]

But Chris Brown's face 😂😂😂

[@EnergeticSpark63]

hi

[@khanbomb]

This is my comfort video

[@ineedc3477]

Avenged Sevenfold deserved to won grammy for A Little Piece Of Heaven, Dear God or So Far Away

[@MTJackinator]

@HAMMET666 I hear far too many people say bad things about their post Nightmare music. Hail to the King was simple but not necessarily bad. Definitely not their best work, but it was solid. The Stage though, especially the Deluxe Edition….. chef’s kiss right there baby. And LIBAD… if you hate on LIBAD, you’re just salty and not actually reading into the music. The Stage is one of my favorite songs of all time and definitely deserves nomination. Nobody as well. The vocals are beautiful and I can not get enough of Syn’s solo. That song rocked the whole Metal community when it came out

[@Breder9574]

maybe not Dear God, I'd say instead of Dear God, I'd put afterlife or Nightmare itself. But, all really good choices!🤘

[@michaelnoir3243]

"I'd like to thank god... Whichever one. I am not sure yet" I straight up died right there🤣

[@MTJackinator]

Jimmy will never be forgotten. He was such an icon and talent

They are the underdog

Thanks to my family We are the underdog

[@Mikeygeee124]

Look at Johnny creeping in for that Fergalicious hug at 2:14. 😂 😂 Haha I remember this. As soon as she said "How do you say that?.." I knew they won it. I wanted them to win at the time, but MAN I didn't expect them to beat Rihanna or Chris Brown. I guess at the time, the hype for rap and pop wasn't as big as it got later. Until Lil Wayne came out with the Carter 3. I see him getting shit on a lot, but Lil Wayne was HUGE in 2008/09.

[@tab7madeup]

A7X is a great band. They're like a 'modern Guns N Roses' to me
