Transcript
- 0:33It's deprogram the podcast where we try to get you into a band
- 0:37plays band is Avenged Sevenfold and that means we are going to
- 0:42try to get you into the band. 7-fold at least six that was so
- 0:47so bad. Well they usually are I had
- 0:52extra time to think of it tonight.
- 0:53I didn't think of it until words were coming out of my mouth so
- 0:57Avenged Sevenfold Jason you actually put Put Avenged
- 1:00Sevenfold on the board. Talk to me about Avenged
- 1:02Sevenfold. Why did we need to do them and
- 1:04what do they mean to you? Oh then Sevenfold.
- 1:08They go way back for me. Avenged Sevenfold is like the
- 1:11potato chips to my musical Munchies.
- 1:14What am I talking about? So they're a band were like if I
- 1:18want to listen to music but I don't have like a John roar like
- 1:22a band that I'm thinking of, I'll pop them on with it.
- 1:25So my phone or in the car, just guess they never get old to me
- 1:29and I don't know why that is, but I've listened to some of
- 1:32these albums several several times.
- 1:36And it just, I never Tire them. I I don't know if I have an
- 1:40objective reason for it. They do have a diverse style of
- 1:45rock metal, Punk. All these influences Dream
- 1:48Theater that they have, but whose yeah, I just they just
- 1:51don't get old for me. I really like them.
- 1:55I mean I I date back all the way to when they went on work tours.
- 1:59Two, thousand, two, three. Four is when I first heard of
- 2:03them, I wasn't like into into them then I just I Perfectly
- 2:06knew about them. I'd heard some of their songs
- 2:09from, like, waking the fallen and stuff.
- 2:11And when that city of evil album dropped is when they really
- 2:15started Gathering my attention. So speaking of gathering
- 2:20attention, one night, I believe we're sitting over here V and
- 2:26you me and Corey are looking at listening with Avenged Sevenfold
- 2:30So talk to me. You're wearing a shirt now.
- 2:33So I am like a big hardcore fan girl geek of Avenged Sevenfold
- 2:37like groupie status. Almost not really because I'm
- 2:40too lazy to follow the band around but I know like a
- 2:43ridiculous amount about this band for no reason and I've
- 2:47always Is like, if this gives you kind of an idea of how like
- 2:51of junkie. I am, I used to be a music
- 2:54theory, like major half of my finals were done on their songs,
- 2:58like my favorite song that I did.
- 3:00Buy them was a little piece of heaven, as far as like
- 3:03compositionally. So like it's, yeah, I love them.
- 3:07I love them so much. It's Times Like These, I wish
- 3:10this was a video pod so you could you can see the excitement
- 3:13on her face Jason. I was young man that song Let me
- 3:18tell you I'm assuming it's going to its I know it's on our list
- 3:21now. So we got to have everyone.
- 3:23Yeah I mean you know it's at least coming up.
- 3:28So for me Avenged Sevenfold is I don't want to say nonplussed but
- 3:36like most of the world Backcountry comes out and that's
- 3:40my exposure to to this band. I thought I don't like it but
- 3:44it's just. Yeah, go ahead.
- 3:46You know. And you know I they didn't it
- 3:49didn't make me go all man. I need to get into this band but
- 3:52it also didn't make me go. Oh that man's garbage.
- 3:55Hmm. Like it was just a oh okay you
- 3:57know and I think I told you this on Sunday Jason anytime you can
- 4:02work in a Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas reference.
- 4:05You've at least got my attention.
- 4:08Okay, yeah. Oh can't stop here, it's
- 4:11Backcountry. Um, yeah, because technically
- 4:14Backcountry is that was like that desert between Los Angeles.
- 4:18In Las Vegas, right? Isn't that yeah.
- 4:21Yep's. Okay, you know, you, you know,
- 4:24you do that and I'm at least going to go.
- 4:27Okay, this band exists this this exists.
- 4:31They do. It was never anything enough for
- 4:34me to go, okay, I'm going to start pushing play in the start,
- 4:37listen to records, but it also they're not in that same like,
- 4:41clearly Corey has some sort of Vendetta against them.
- 4:46Like, it's crazy because I I got into them right about the same
- 4:49time y'all did. I was a lot younger, obviously,
- 4:51but I um, I've gotten into them when I had heard like actually
- 4:54Beast and the Harlot, it wasn't Backcountry.
- 4:57But my friend gave me back country to and I was like, I
- 4:59mean, it's all right. But like, Beast and the Harlot
- 5:01was what hooked me. And I just after that, I've
- 5:04yeah, you go so well, let's let's take that and walk that
- 5:09into the next level. You know, we've been sitting on
- 5:13this one for like a little while Jason, did that work in your
- 5:16advantage, put in your 20. Together or did that hinder your
- 5:20list? Oh, that worked against me then.
- 5:23I got to go back and look at my list and I was like, no, no, I
- 5:27got exchange these two songs for the two songs.
- 5:31It was, it was tough. I mean, I tried to approach this
- 5:34list as not of my favorite 20, but is like a 20 that kind of
- 5:42would represent what overall they have.
- 5:45Been like popularly if that makes sense to get like album
- 5:50representation Different style, representation, stuff like that.
- 5:54So I tried to, as I tried to remove myself from it, I changed
- 5:58a couple songs as I had more time.
- 5:59You know, you don't have too much time to think that's what
- 6:02that happened a little bit where, you know, I'm just
- 6:06sitting there and like no I got to take that song off.
- 6:09I gotta put this other song back on so that last four to five
- 6:13cuts of songs that they may have went on the list and off the
- 6:17list. A couple of times before they
- 6:18settled, I definitely get that. I did the same.
- 6:21Zach thing, it felt like especially with certain albums.
- 6:23It felt like getting rid of children like I just, I, yeah,
- 6:28yeah. So, what was, what was your
- 6:32thought process going into your list making?
- 6:34Do you like, did you have any kind of gameplay in mind or
- 6:37well? Originally, I was I'm not gonna
- 6:39lie, I went through the whole childish mindset of, I like this
- 6:42music. This is my music, that happens.
- 6:45But then I went back through. It was like, well, obviously,
- 6:47you have to kind of think of like this is a, you know,
- 6:49somebody never heard has never heard Avenged Sevenfold, you
- 6:52want to like give them an idea. So I kind of like imagine I was
- 6:55pretty like pitching at the Quarry, the be honest.
- 6:57Yeah and that's kind of the only way I could really see it.
- 7:00If I didn't imagine. It was somebody like you know
- 7:02that has never experienced Avenged.
- 7:04Like yeah. So I think I looked at it
- 7:10because I'm the new year so like somewhere in between what you
- 7:15guys are both saying, so it had to rope me in pretty immediately
- 7:20which they Have plenty of songs that do that and I also noticed
- 7:24that they have plenty of Slow Burn songs.
- 7:26Yeah. So like unfortunately I think I
- 7:29may have kept a couple Slow Burn songs but like unfortunately the
- 7:33Slow Burn ones just their Slow Burn.
- 7:36And I think with What this this band is the best way to get
- 7:43somebody in as the punch em in the mouth.
- 7:45Yeah. Go pay attention.
- 7:47And then let them grow into slow burners.
- 7:49Like I said, I think I might have kept some, I don't recall
- 7:52offhand, but there's first. Those first two albums of
- 7:56theirs. They're just, they're more
- 7:57straight up metalcore than the rest of their stuff.
- 8:00That's how they kind of started. You could hear because they, you
- 8:03know, they're, they're born and raised in California, you can
- 8:06hear. And even some of those songs,
- 8:08some of that punk rock influence, especially At the
- 8:10beginning of a few of those songs you're like oh those riffs
- 8:13sound, very punk rock and they played a more up to her but you
- 8:16know, but then they kind of evolved from there.
- 8:20But as far as the music that they're known for now, that's
- 8:25not like that's kind of a smaller how I started, but
- 8:29almost like a smaller sample of what they are now really.
- 8:33Well, they had to change Styles. Actually, they were forced to,
- 8:35because I'm Shadows, the lead singer, his vocal cords burst
- 8:39like they I stood right after waking the fallen so he couldn't
- 8:43do any of the performance like that anymore.
- 8:46So you had surgery right throat? Yep.
- 8:48So I had to completely change his style.
- 8:50He couldn't do that. You know, the throaty be.
- 8:52Yeah. That's why he wants to like more
- 8:55of a falsetto. He he he got a vocal coach the
- 8:59same that Chris Cornell. Yeah.
- 9:01And I think Axl Rose, and that's kind of, he learned how to do
- 9:06more harmonic our Harmony type vocals.
- 9:10Oh yeah, I didn't realize it was that.
- 9:11Wow, that's cool. Very cool.
- 9:15All right, so that takes us to the next level.
- 9:17So I will say we haven't been too revealing with this
- 9:21conversation about, you know, other than I feel like a couple
- 9:24songs got named. How do you think we're going to
- 9:27do Jason? How many do you think we're
- 9:28going to get through unanimously for the final?
- 9:31Let me, let me answer your question with a question, which
- 9:35is, I don't know, it doesn't really work out, but what is the
- 9:38record as far as matches? We've done nine a couple times
- 9:42really and a couple of times. Yeah.
- 9:46Hmm. I was like, do I want to go for
- 9:49the record? Do I feel like we got it in US?
- 9:51Hey man. That's first time I out of my
- 9:52mind. Thought was yeah you know what?
- 9:56There's no Stakes 9 I'm doing nine.
- 9:59I mean you know shoot for the stars what's the worst that
- 10:04happens? You don't get it.
- 10:06What do you think? V I'm thinking for for I
- 10:08remember the first time I did this, I was like 12 and you're
- 10:11like, what? Yeah, I've learned I've learned
- 10:17Earned for seems like the safer number.
- 10:20Yeah, I mean, I've been on here. I know that it's not going to
- 10:24happen, but I'm doing it anyway. Yeah, be hopeful.
- 10:27And if it does happen. Yeah, just saying.
- 10:31So now, so now the question comes, do I go between and be
- 10:37positive, right? Or do I take the strictly dick?
- 10:41Move and go. We're getting jack shit.
- 10:44Then go under under these or because I feel like four is
- 10:50four, feels like it could be the number Let me I'm going to go
- 11:016-0 feels high but I'm going to go six.
- 11:04It's a solid number. Yeah, feels high but you never
- 11:08know. Again, worst case scenario, we
- 11:10just got to talk all the way through it.
- 11:11So we're going to take a quick pause and when we come back is
- 11:15some gameplay, it's the programmed.

- 11:52Join the hustle today. And with that, the name of the
- 11:57game is deprogrammed of the three of us have combed through
- 12:00the Avenged Sevenfold discography and plucked out 20
- 12:03songs that we are now going to mash together in an attempt to
- 12:05create a top 10 circuit for you. In case you have never given
- 12:09Avenged the time of day. And I'm wishing, I would have
- 12:14turned that other light on because it is dark in this
- 12:16corner. I should probably get my things
- 12:19fixed. All right.
- 12:20So, where do I want to go somewhere in the middle?
- 12:25Or. I want to go towards the bottom
- 12:30of my list and I'm going here first because I got this one
- 12:33whenever I ask it weights where I place a song in my list.
- 12:42Whenever I ask listeners, what do you think is essential?
- 12:47And if one of my songs gets multiple, that's going to wait,
- 12:51it more towards the top of the list, I'm going to go in here.
- 12:54This wasn't this is tied for number one nightmare.
- 12:58I did not have nightmare. Actually gasp.
- 13:02I know I have nightmare. All right, so it's alive, its
- 13:05alive and well I felt there was other songs, you know, it's
- 13:11that's always going to be the case.
- 13:13You know, sometimes they get in, sometimes they don't.
- 13:16All right. So dry I recently watched the
- 13:20Avenged Sevenfold has this YouTube thing called breakdown
- 13:24where they break down the how their instrumental musical
- 13:28thought. Process plus the lyrics and how
- 13:30they create songs, which is an awesome thing.
- 13:32If you like Avenged Sevenfold all, then you need to watch
- 13:35breakdown. Not many bands do this where
- 13:37they go through. They go and teach you like art,
- 13:40not teach you but show you all their creative processes and
- 13:43stuff when they create albums and songs.
- 13:46And I recently watched the one on nightmare, so that may have
- 13:49led me to put it on the list but I but that nightmare is probably
- 13:52one of my if it's not my favorite Avenged Sevenfold album
- 13:56that's up there. So I do love The whole album
- 13:59that might, like I said, out, like I have three favorites of
- 14:02their albums and Nightmare is one of the top ones, just
- 14:05because I love that Mike Portnoy, was of drummer on it
- 14:07and like parts of it, obviously, not the whole thing, but it is
- 14:10one of my favorite albums, but nightmare the song itself, I was
- 14:13just like, there's other songs that I felt, like just took it
- 14:16over the edge. It wasn't quite there.
- 14:18It dig. It was on my list, but I got
- 14:20good, you know, who answered Nightmare.
- 14:22And I asked that Joe. Did he really God you basic all
- 14:30right, Jason Let's see, let's go.
- 14:35How about we go early on and go with a second heartbeat?
- 14:40I have that. I thought you might.
- 14:44I don't know that. Justin will though.
- 14:46I don't I don't but I needed a song that represented the kind
- 14:53of the OG metalcore style and vocals.
- 14:55And I thought this song is a pretty good one to do that.
- 14:59Hmm. Most definitely.
- 15:02All right so you got to live here.
- 15:04So nothing is dead yet. All right.
- 15:08V, I'm going to give you all the easy one that I already kind of
- 15:10gave away a little piece of heaven.
- 15:14Just get it out of the way. I don't have that one.
- 15:20You don't have that one. Yeah.
- 15:22Dad. We're going to be fighting for
- 15:24that one later. It sounds like I know, right
- 15:28there it is. This this song because I think
- 15:32it was rev that was a fan of Danny, Elfman and Oingo Boingo,
- 15:35basically, because I think two members of one good one, go were
- 15:37involved in making this song. It's everything you want a song,
- 15:41right? It's got homicide necrophilia
- 15:43cannibalism, really, I love, I love it.
- 15:47Compositionally to like it. Just shows how because the Rev
- 15:50did all of the composition for the song and it just shows like
- 15:53with all of the like orchestral music movement in it.
- 15:56It's just sometimes, it's so it's so different creatively
- 16:04being with that. Heavy Wingull Wingull, Danny
- 16:06Elfman like influence that. I feel like it belongs in here.
- 16:10I mean, it's got a horn section for God's sake or Windows
- 16:12tournaments Morris. Like, come on.
- 16:14How can you beat it the head and the, the Scooby?
- 16:18Style animation for the music video.
- 16:21Hmm. That that music video?
- 16:24Justin's been viewed 102 million times because I recently watched
- 16:28it in preparation for this, I was like holy moly, it is not
- 16:34for Grandma. This song nor the music video it
- 16:37is definitely a piece of Dark Art.
- 16:40They like they made this song I think for a Halloween EP that
- 16:44they were planning on doing but never did.
- 16:46And then when they created their like, Somebody was like, you got
- 16:49to put this on an album. This is too good and like
- 16:52creative. Not to put this on an album
- 16:53because they just weren't going to do anything with it.
- 16:55I think at first and they're like, no, no, no, this needs to
- 16:57go somewhere, it kind of baffles me.
- 16:59How many of their songs they did that with?
- 17:01Like there were some singles that I was like, how did I not
- 17:03realize? This wasn't on the like an
- 17:04actual album, like I thought, because it's just been played so
- 17:07many times, I assumed it was on like something right, but,
- 17:12especially those, the songs that ended up on Black Ops video
- 17:15games. Yeah, yeah, like made it like
- 17:17it, a holy people. Worth of songs that they just
- 17:20made for Call of Duty. Yep, it's crazy.
- 17:24Well, you know what? We didn't get any through but
- 17:27we're doing a okay, nothing? Nothing is dead in the water.
- 17:31This is another song that came up earlier and also one that
- 17:34when I asked somebody brought it up.
- 17:36So it's on my list. I might as well.
- 17:39Try it out there and see what happens Beast and the Harlot.
- 17:41Yep, yeah, there we go. There's a number three.
- 17:45There we go. A song about the whore of
- 17:49Babylon. I'm you gotta have it on here.
- 17:52It's funny like you would almost think Avenged.
- 17:54Sevenfold was a Christian band with how many biblical
- 17:58references that they make. Even their name is like Cain and
- 18:01Abel and that and then there's like so many references through
- 18:06are all their songs and stuff like that but they don't claim
- 18:08to have any sort of religious affiliation or Target their
- 18:11songs towards God or the devil or anything like that and they
- 18:14just use kind of the dark sides. Of the Bible as inspiration for
- 18:19lyrics and song writing. So, it's interesting.
- 18:23I'm probably gonna put up my song next relating to that, I'm
- 18:28excited. all right, Jason Let's see.
- 18:42How about we go? All the way forward to the last
- 18:46album. And do hire from the stage and
- 18:51this is a song that got kicked off my list and back on a couple
- 18:56times. I did not have that actually,
- 18:59neither do. I can't save you.
- 19:01Okay. This album This Album lost out a
- 19:05lot because of other albums. I love this like I love all
- 19:10their music but they're older albums are just so like yeah.
- 19:14Therefore yeah I wanted to make sure the stage was represented
- 19:17and I am Besides the, the title track.
- 19:20Spoiler alert, I wanted another song to represent that album.
- 19:26Mmm. And I fought with myself, this
- 19:28is probably the hardest one for me in those lists.
- 19:30I fought with myself a lot what that second song was going to be
- 19:34for the longest time. I had goddamn on there and I
- 19:38bumped goddamn off there because goddamn his goddamn and I think
- 19:43that's probably one of my favorite songs on there but
- 19:46higher I just I don't know like Musically, I thought was a
- 19:49little different. So I and like, conceptually
- 19:52because it's just about like an astronaut going into space, like
- 19:56it's a different song, then what you're almost used to from them.
- 19:59So I was like, all right, I'll go with this one.
- 20:03So I defeated myself, I'll say this about the stage again.
- 20:07I'm repeating myself to anyone who listens to every episode,
- 20:11but with every band, it seems like once you get towards the
- 20:15end of their discography, you're you're waiting for the shoe to
- 20:17drop. Pain.
- 20:19Okay, this will be easy cuts and I had a whole lot from that
- 20:23record on my first pass and I mean, I found them to these
- 20:28point. I found them to be the easier
- 20:29ones to cut in my second round just like all I just kind of
- 20:34like this this older stuff a little bit better so that's
- 20:38that's what happened with that song.
- 20:43It was on my radar. Alright v um so I'm going to go
- 20:48with the Hail to the King album, requiem, I love that album just
- 20:53because it's just, it's the Metallica Metallica Vibes of it
- 20:57all is just amazing but Requiem just hits a note with me because
- 21:01I love like anything referring to death masses let's be serious
- 21:05illness yes it starts speaking Latin mmm-hmm it's very I love
- 21:10how it is compositionally. It honestly it was like I was
- 21:13worried when the Rev died that they weren't going to be able to
- 21:16kind of compose anything like that and when they premiered
- 21:18this album, this was like the first track they had come out on
- 21:21it. And it was just the first little
- 21:23bit of requiem and I was like, I cannot wait for this to come
- 21:26out. I'm really fine.
- 21:29I feel see Justin this is what I'm talking about when I say
- 21:32second-guessing myself higher, got on there and then right and
- 21:35then with this those two songs they got exchange today goddamn
- 21:40and Requiem. I exchanged it for heretic now
- 21:45which is also a great song from that album but I don't know what
- 21:50possessed me to do that. So I almost Had a match with
- 21:52that one and then I done screwed it up today.
- 21:56So again in a move that will make you feel bad but also feel
- 22:01good. I don't have it either but it
- 22:04was literally 21:22. It was one of the last cuts and
- 22:08now this is like one of my favorites of there's just
- 22:10because it's like Didn't I just I love it.
- 22:16Yeah, I was I was very into it. I just, I don't know.
- 22:20I went elsewhere. What can I say?
- 22:22I don't. Yeah, I know I should have just
- 22:23went with my gut 20 and left it, but I got to I got to thinking
- 22:27about it and then I was like, well what about this song?
- 22:30This song in this song with about this representation, but
- 22:33this song does this. And then yeah, then things got
- 22:35messy learning things today, learning things, All right, so
- 22:42that one's V. We're back to me.
- 22:45Okay, still doing. All right here.
- 22:49I think I'm gonna stay with some of my want, actually in the stay
- 22:51with that record and another one that somebody brought up Hail to
- 22:56the King. The title track actually have
- 22:59that one I get went back and forth.
- 23:01I took this one and honestly it actually, it was off of my list
- 23:04until today and it was because of my stepson, he constantly was
- 23:08like, how could you take off hail the king?
- 23:10That's the song of the like, that's a song of the album and I
- 23:13was just like I okay? Okay, but yeah, how about you?
- 23:20I've got it on here because I've seen it live and it is it is a
- 23:24really awesome life. Yes, that's why.
- 23:28Because live the, the amount of energy like the crowd puts into
- 23:32this song when they just start it up.
- 23:34And everybody starts throwing their fists, in the air and
- 23:36starts yelling to get the song started with that.
- 23:38Even the band's help is, is nuts.
- 23:42I still have a video of my phone of it.
- 23:43The last time, when I when they put out the stage surprisingly,
- 23:47I went out it literally they Doubt it was the prize I went
- 23:51out. Watch that that tour and they
- 23:53played. This song is awesome.
- 23:55So I kept it just first just because of how great it is live.
- 23:59I did you get to see it with the actual like the throne King,
- 24:03dude, like back there with the pyrotechnics and stuff.
- 24:06I didn't see that know, they had a big video walls, basically,
- 24:12when I went to go see it, which was great because when they
- 24:15played as an encore song, A Little Piece of Heaven that we
- 24:18talked about, they played the Higher video in the background
- 24:21while they did that they didn't perform that one.
- 24:23I went I went for the Hail to the King tour and that like they
- 24:26wouldn't perform a little piece of heaven, and it broke my heart
- 24:28because I've wanted to see that in concert so bad and I just, I
- 24:31haven't yet. See it at all the times.
- 24:33I've seen them, they've never performed it and it kills me.
- 24:36Yeah, because it because the stage was the album that they
- 24:40were promoting. They kind of had the prop Enos
- 24:42for the stage. So they like they do when they
- 24:43played higher, they dropped an astronaut basically from the
- 24:46ceiling. That's pretty cool.
- 24:48So, yeah. Spaceman Falls is it's going to
- 24:53be all right, Jason. Okay, let's stick with hail the
- 25:03king and just do Shepherd of Fire.
- 25:07I have that. So do I Bam, just like that.
- 25:14This is a pretty, this is a pretty great song.
- 25:16And is the the fact that they involve like the sound of the
- 25:19Flames that were so well, encompassed into the background
- 25:22of the big, the intro of the song Avenged Sevenfold does
- 25:25intros very well. I'd have to say when that their
- 25:28buildups and their songs are done very well, their songs can
- 25:31get very complex as they go. Especially in the stage, got
- 25:34very experimental but the the intros are are ten out of ten.
- 25:40A lot of times. I most definitely just look at
- 25:43that bear. We are at three All of us, the
- 25:47song from the yeah it's a song from the perspective of the
- 25:49devil is trying to convince you. These not so bad.
- 25:52I think this is I'm sure I've said this before on the show, I
- 25:56think this is the worst part about the show is I never get to
- 26:01that level often of a song like finding out what it's about
- 26:06unless it's a overt. Oh really?
- 26:08Yeah. Like because usually I only have
- 26:10enough time to go through my list like two possibly three
- 26:14times. Mmm usually what I like to do is
- 26:17the one time through to narrow it down.
- 26:21Second time through to narrow it down to 20.
- 26:23And then I like to listen to my 20, like the day that we're
- 26:26doing the show, just as a refresher and then sometimes,
- 26:30when that happens, I look stuff up and look lyrics up and
- 26:34whatnot. I didn't get that with this, I
- 26:36should have Your boys kind of scrambling because the end of
- 26:40the year is coming and I still have to record like including
- 26:44this 13 episodes. She's yeah, it's alright, yeah.
- 26:48So we'll forgive, you are been Sevenfold.
- 26:50You have it Avenged. Sevenfold does lyrics pretty
- 26:52well. Oh, my god.
- 26:53Did they. There's times where you're just
- 26:56like here they just didn't know what to do, but, you know, but
- 27:01for the most part, the the lyrics are pretty Rock Solid and
- 27:04their music. We had mentioned this before,
- 27:07when she picked rescuing him, but, like, both of these songs
- 27:11like that, that Metallica vipe is what's took out?
- 27:15Stuck out to me, okay? Like the doing a Metallica thing
- 27:19without it being exactly Metallica Metallica, actually,
- 27:23like came out to them, like, they were like, you guys did a
- 27:25fantastic. This is because some of the
- 27:26songs were kind of basically ripped off of their songs and
- 27:30they were like you guys did a fantastic job like I'm Shadows
- 27:33said when they created this album they It's something that
- 27:35you could just Jam in the car to and like you're kind of taken
- 27:38back to those Metallica days where I was like, this isn't it?
- 27:41Lightning master puppets? Yeah.
- 27:42Yep, sure and Metallica is definitely an influence for
- 27:47them. Uh-huh.
- 27:48This This Means War right off of that same album.
- 27:52It's very Metallica sounding. It sounds like it.
- 27:55Just it's a cover. Almost.
- 27:57I literally, I literally cut that this morning.
- 28:01You guys are all about spoilers. Oh my best, but look, It's your
- 28:06turn baby, I had 10. So, speaking on lyrical fundus,
- 28:13I would like to go with Scream. Yep.
- 28:19Got it. I can't save you.
- 28:21But Jason Kim. So fun fact.
- 28:24Everybody always thinks this song is about rape, and they
- 28:26first hear it. It's actually about a serial
- 28:27killer and you're in his eyes like, yeah, it's crazy.
- 28:32I did some of the. Yeah, I mean, I guess you could
- 28:34just say Disturbed Mind of a predator together.
- 28:36Yeah, it's just crazy. There's something about tasting
- 28:41blood in the song so maybe serial killer vampire question
- 28:44mark. Yeah, they go about werewolves.
- 28:47They go werewolves werewolves and vampires.
- 28:52Okay, back to me. You know, I'm going to keep
- 28:58doing the ones that that people suggested.
- 29:02How about after life? No.
- 29:09Yes. All right.
- 29:10I hope I follow this one for a while, but I actually dumped
- 29:15afterlife for a different one. So it gets a two.
- 29:21So it gets to hang out, it ain't dead yet and that is a okay.
- 29:26All right. Jason Let's stick with let's do
- 29:35say my mom right critical Acclaim, I do have that one said
- 29:40why? Okay, alright looks like we
- 29:44might get your night man. Yeah, I felt really comfortable.
- 29:50You had that one. I wasn't for sure about Justin
- 29:53on that one. Oh I love.
- 29:54This is such a beautiful way to enter like album.
- 29:57Just the way they have the Organ and everything I just only
- 30:00organ. Yeah, I even put like in
- 30:03parentheses critical. Acclaim organ, really what I did
- 30:07to, I put organ the sets and sets of the stage beautifully.
- 30:15When you look at these records, you realize there are and I
- 30:21think that you know, coming to this conversation today
- 30:24realizing and looking at the song titles and like this is a
- 30:28track one like realizing that they're telling album stores.
- 30:33It's not necessarily concept records, they're not but like
- 30:37they are telling stories mmm and Sometimes it's for album stories
- 30:45and cradle. Like you said this, this sets
- 30:49the tone for the record and they are going to tell you a story
- 30:53here. I wish that I gave myself more
- 30:57time to get, get to the store because I didn't even realize
- 31:01that that's why I was picking this song Until I just push
- 31:04play. That's exactly why.
- 31:06Yeah, I picked it. Like I thought it was just oh,
- 31:09you know this these cool guitar harmonica.
- 31:12The pinch harmonics. That's why.
- 31:14Oh he's yelling. That's why?
- 31:15No, it's because there's more to it than you know, what's on that
- 31:19that shallow level. So, all right, so critical claim
- 31:25was Jason. Yeah, the off that same album.
- 31:31I'm going to go Gunslinger. I like how it's kind of got like
- 31:35The Ballad Bala dish part of it, but it's also kind of like
- 31:39fast-paced departs. I just I felt like it was a good
- 31:42mixture of their sounds. Yeah, the way the song starts.
- 31:45It almost sounds like like southern rock.
- 31:48Ashore. Like almost country a little
- 31:49bit. The way the song starts.
- 31:51Like a western kind of. Yeah.
- 31:55Gunslinger. Yeah, how about that?
- 31:59I don't have it though. Nor do I, unfortunately.
- 32:02And what's crazy is Like, when I went into that last Spiel.
- 32:07Uh-huh. Gunslinger was the song.
- 32:08I was looking at because I was like, yeah.
- 32:17Not that this is even bad just as I'm going through it without
- 32:22that extra layer of understanding.
- 32:24There's a story going on that without that extra layer of
- 32:27paying attention to on that level.
- 32:30This is easy to pass over. Oh yeah.
- 32:34I kind of wanted something soft in my list but I didn't want
- 32:37like because you know that you have the stereotypical ballad
- 32:40songs by them and I was like this is a kind of mixture song.
- 32:43So I felt like it was a good representation of kind of both
- 32:45of them. Sides of their music.
- 32:49Yeah. I mean we're going to miss some
- 32:51right, I know. Right, darn it.
- 32:55We're at four. Okay, so we're at these four.
- 32:58If nothing else happens. There's plenty of gameplay,
- 33:01though. We can.
- 33:02None of us can now, agree, ever. We're hitting all the rest of
- 33:05them are getting a 9. I mean, it's crazy, but it
- 33:10sounds crazy, but there's plenty of songs out here.
- 33:13There's plenty out here. All right, you know I'm doing
- 33:18okay with these. I'm just going to go with
- 33:20another one that listener said Unholy Confessions Yeah.
- 33:26Actually have that. Yep.
- 33:28Yeah. I felt like the song has to be
- 33:31on there because it's probably their best song of the first two
- 33:35albums. Really?
- 33:36Yep. And and also like one of the
- 33:39only songs of the first two albums, they still play live oh,
- 33:43to my knowledge. So yeah, a good, a good, add to
- 33:46the list, I would say. Just like, I love the guitar in
- 33:50the song. You know, strangely enough.
- 33:54That's something I have not mentioned yet.
- 33:58I'm a guitar guy and I like guitar sounds and I like when
- 34:03they're crunchy and I like when they're tight and I like, I like
- 34:09a lot of what they do with the guitar, a lot of what they're
- 34:12doing with that guitar. Synyster Gates is really good,
- 34:16it's finished. The gates is a great guitar
- 34:17player. I have to say, I've never heard
- 34:19those two adjectives used consecutively crunchy.
- 34:22And tight. So I really like that.
- 34:26This is an interesting way. What's funny is like, you know,
- 34:30I guess some people could be turned off by the vocalist.
- 34:34And I mean, to me, that was never a + or - yeah.
- 34:41We got a lot of blood double kick action going on to like
- 34:45that's going to be a lot. I used to be in a band called
- 34:48stale and I'm surprised we never covered any Avenged.
- 34:51Like this is very close to a lot of the stuff that my drummer and
- 34:56guitarist would want to do. Oh, really?
- 34:59Yeah. So I'm very shocked that we
- 35:01never did this. All right?
- 35:03Jason Okay, how about we go to City of evil album and will go
- 35:10with the actual first single from that album?
- 35:12Which is not bad. Country is burn it down.
- 35:15I have that said away. Bam.
- 35:18I didn't even know. Damn, I like it when I don't
- 35:23know, singles. City of evil is a very like I
- 35:33could see where people would be mad about it.
- 35:35But also there's a lot of stuff like this.
- 35:39That's like, oh there oh shit. Yeah, like fast and in your face
- 35:47and I'm yeah, it city of evil was a perfect transition album
- 35:53for them to what they kind of wanted to become which is
- 35:55basically do whatever the hell they want.
- 35:58Yeah, because you know, there are people that got angry at
- 36:01them over the new vocals and some of the new music because
- 36:05they kind of diverse and got a little more, not just
- 36:09straight-up medical or anymore. They just involved a lot of some
- 36:12of the progressive rock. We talked about Dream Theater,
- 36:14grab Love, Dream Theater. Some of this other stuff they
- 36:16really start involving in their music and you know it's just as
- 36:22artists you know I'm glad that they just started doing all
- 36:25kinds of stuff and then you'd all the way up until we see the
- 36:27stage. Which got like they didn't care
- 36:30if that any of those songs got put on the radio at all and you
- 36:32don't write eight minutes songs that go into like three or four
- 36:35different parts. If you want to get played on the
- 36:37radio but it's still going on the radio gives its Avenged
- 36:39Sevenfold. Mmm.
- 36:41Yeah, didn't didn't promote that album, didn't even send it for
- 36:44review. Just one day.
- 36:45There it is. Here you go.
- 36:48That's how they did the stage. So, yeah, I just, I have to hand
- 36:52these guys. They just, you know, you're
- 36:55going to get, you're going to get negative feedback.
- 36:57When you go away from your route, sounds Les most bands do.
- 37:03But these guys just kept Truckin and just creating and doing more
- 37:07different styles and versions and sounds and but still
- 37:11sticking with that kind of that core of metal and hard rock than
- 37:15they kind of found it themselves on.
- 37:17It's funny. Hear, you're nine is not looking
- 37:19crazy, dude. Like, we're at six.
- 37:22I just counted, I still have 12, which means you guys are roughly
- 37:25probably around the 10 range. Hmm, But three more intend isn't
- 37:31out of the out of the realm of possibility.
- 37:34It's really not. All right, so it's V Stern.
- 37:39So on that note, a Dream Theater.
- 37:42I'm gonna go with Natural. Born Killer.
- 37:47I got it. It's interesting.
- 37:48The Rev actually wrote all his music for Mike Portnoy to play
- 37:51because he couldn't, he didn't have the level or skilled to
- 37:53play at his his level, but I said level twice, but you know
- 37:57what I mean? Yeah.
- 37:59So it's kind of like cool to hear this because like any time
- 38:01I show somebody avenge, that's never heard them.
- 38:03I always show them this song because it shows you the
- 38:06capability of what the Rev could have.
- 38:08Probably done one day. If he'd had his career
- 38:11continued, but it's just it's compositionally.
- 38:14It's just beautiful. I love this song.
- 38:16Yeah. Don't have it but I agree.
- 38:19Yeah. That and the Rev was such an
- 38:22important influence on them as far as songwriting and stuff all
- 38:26the way through nightmare, a lot of that album is his even though
- 38:30he didn't survive to see, see it come to fruition.
- 38:33But, but yeah, man, but, you know, I'm glad the band moved on
- 38:38and they just kept going. That again, we wouldn't be here.
- 38:43Yeah. Then again like the that layer
- 38:46of it, really? I like and we'll probably get
- 38:52into this more on after the fact.
- 38:53I like when we do a band like the cuz I'm not gonna lie like,
- 38:57as I did enjoy Avenged Sevenfold but these extra layers that I'm
- 39:03getting from you guys is making me respect them even, like just
- 39:07listening to them. Definitely changed my respect
- 39:09for them, but Like getting this extra layer is debt, is why I do
- 39:14the show. Hmm, it's so I don't know if
- 39:17anybody has has listened this far but is out on an Avenged
- 39:24Sevenfold but you've decided to listen to it.
- 39:27It means something just give it a shot.
- 39:32Alright, so Natural, Born Killer was V.
- 39:34We're back to me. We'll do a couple more rounds
- 39:37here. I only Of one left that other
- 39:43people put out there. I'm stealing this just because I
- 39:47know it's at least a to the stage.
- 39:51Oh yeah, I have that. Yep.
- 39:53Boom. I knew that so.
- 39:58All right, well, I mean, at least I don't have the burden of
- 40:00having the final pick because we're at seven, I have five
- 40:07songs left. Oh, So, I was way wrong. so,
- 40:15Depending on where Jason is. Oh no sex.
- 40:18I lied 6. Maybe I've been home.
- 40:21He said, Lord. So, funnily enough.
- 40:29Like now that I hear this, this is what edged Requiem out.
- 40:33It had I know it had to be it had to be can't see me.
- 40:36Shaking my head, Jason had two things, going for it.
- 40:40I needed representation from that record, and then it had
- 40:44that same kind of intro, that that did the same thing for me
- 40:48and listening, like, oh yeah, so it's okay.
- 40:52Just tell me hate me. It's okay, guys.
- 40:56All right, Jason this song. Yeah, there's stage that song
- 41:00evolves. Well, like it starts out with
- 41:02the Kick-Ass guitar. Drums and it just kind of
- 41:04evolves all the way through like seamlessly, it's 48 minutes,
- 41:08which is not something I could ever do even if it became a
- 41:11musician. So, you got to respect that to
- 41:13make an 8 minute song Flow, and go like that, okay, my turn.
- 41:19Whoo. All right here's one.
- 41:21I think you guys might have how about?
- 41:23Welcome to the family. Hell yes.
- 41:26Hell yes. Hell yes.
- 41:28I'm too just like that. Almost Pantera there.
- 41:42There's your, uh, gnarly guitar that you wanted.
- 41:47Yeah. There's definitely some Pantera
- 41:49influences, like the, the drummer, I'm blanking on his
- 41:52name. Play for hell, yeah, as well.
- 41:54Pretty pull any ball? Yes, I don't know why it's his
- 41:58brain fart. Not his name.
- 42:00Yeah. Unfortunately, he passed
- 42:02relatively didn't ask. Yeah, really.
- 42:06All right V. Okay, so long, the Pantera line.
- 42:11IE, this is the only cover I listed.
- 42:14I did walk because I love the way.
- 42:16They put the Basin and I'm Shadow singing that song but I
- 42:20know how you feel about covers. So, I wasn't very confident.
- 42:26Well, I'll tell you this. I didn't even hear it because it
- 42:31is not even on this list. Oh, what's wrong?
- 42:34Yeah. It was on Diamonds in the Rough.
- 42:39So, I didn't even get to hear it darn.
- 42:41Okay, ain't you? Hey, I think it means you get a
- 42:43freebie a freebie. What?
- 42:45I'll just No, what I'm saying is, sometimes.
- 42:51I mean, this is the perfect time to do one.
- 42:54That no one else has like one that you wanted to just kind of
- 42:58throw into the mix. It's a really good.
- 43:01Like honestly, like I'm not huge about covers but this was one
- 43:05that I had heard Pantera growing up, but I just they did it
- 43:10better. I'm not gonna like be that guy,
- 43:12but they did it better now. I want to hear it.
- 43:17All right. It's a really good.
- 43:18It's a really good cover. They did it.
- 43:21They did it justice? It doesn't.
- 43:23It sounds enough like the Pantera version of it, but it's
- 43:28not like they didn't try to carbon copy it.
- 43:30Yeah, so what we'll do considering these really you're
- 43:36probably what it like three left some like that I've got let me
- 43:40look, hold on one. 450. Okay.
- 43:48Yeah. Because you said six and then
- 43:50walk? Okay.
- 43:50Is it almost dump time? Yeah.
- 43:52I think we'll do one last round and then we'll talk about.
- 43:55Okay. All right.
- 43:56So which one Russ do I do? Hmm.
- 44:03I don't feel good about any of these.
- 44:07How about eternal rest? Nope.
- 44:12Mmm. Yeah, you never know.
- 44:16We'll put that one to Eternal rest.
- 44:18Yes. I mean one shy of Jason's 9.
- 44:28Alright basis. Turn is it next?
- 44:30It's yours. Okay, so if I get this if you
- 44:33guys have it, I've got I've got the nine.
- 44:36Yeah. Okay, I'm going for it.
- 44:39Almost easy. I have almost easy.
- 44:42Oh God. Come on, Justin.
- 44:44Don't put that on me. Oh no.
- 44:46Don't put that on you. It's almost easy just to say.
- 44:51I mean, I could do that, but I'd be lying.
- 44:55Oh no. Okay.
- 44:57He doesn't have almost easy. I thought I had a real shot
- 45:00there. That's what afterlife edged out
- 45:03for me, was almost easy. Like, almost easy, edged out
- 45:06after you know, right? I got you Oh God, I'm gonna go
- 45:14with nightmare album, fiction. Got it.
- 45:19Wow. Justin, I do not.
- 45:21Oh Justin man. You're killing me.
- 45:26Justin. I know show me some positive
- 45:28mean. That really should be the name
- 45:30of the show. Is you're killing me, Justin.
- 45:34Damn, I'm time. That's got some good piano in it
- 45:36fiction does. Yeah.
- 45:37Uh-huh. So I have That that song fiction
- 45:42holds we talked about rev earlier, talk about a song that
- 45:45holds a lot of weight for the band and him.
- 45:47Hmm. Is this was the last song he
- 45:49wrote and he wrote it about somebody.
- 45:51Moving on particular, maybe him. Yeah, it's very gone.
- 45:56And then ironically like, I think it was days after he
- 45:59finished this last song. He died.
- 46:02I thought he had done. He started recording it, but I
- 46:04thought like, halfway through he had like, that was one.
- 46:06He like killed himself. Yes.
- 46:08Yeah, yeah, yeah. He Yeah, they had to get
- 46:11somebody else come into play, the rest of the song yet he
- 46:14wrote it. And then they had to kind of
- 46:15finish it up because I think M Shadows kind of like, almost
- 46:20like duets with him. The vocals that they do.
- 46:22He does have they put them in there?
- 46:25I mean, again, here's these these layers.
- 46:27That would have been helpful beforehand.
- 46:31All right, so one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
- 46:37I have eight left. So holy cow.
- 46:40Still, we are you to matched on a lot.
- 46:43So, I mean, it isn't out of the realm of possibility that one of
- 46:46those, all three of us, has it just, it's very improbable.
- 46:50So, let's see. I'm a big fan of doing This is
- 46:56like album one track one. Turn the other way.
- 46:59No. Nope.
- 47:02Okay, lips of Deceit. No, that's a good song.
- 47:09All right? An epic of time wasted.
- 47:14Nope. Okay.
- 47:16Chapter 4. No lost.
- 47:23I cut that one. It was nope.
- 47:28Alright, danger line. Nope, I like that song but
- 47:34nothing skipped one in and all things will end.
- 47:40No, no. Wow.
- 47:42And last but not least. I put this here.
- 47:48I'm perfectly content. If no one has it, and but this
- 47:53was the answer, but I got second most Backcountry.
- 47:57I did not have Backcountry actually I do have Backcountry.
- 48:01Okay. Oh there you go.
- 48:03I put it on there because it was such an important song for them
- 48:06and I went back and forth but I was like I felt like I
- 48:08represented that with Beast and the Harlot.
- 48:10So I was like I'm good here, that's fair.
- 48:13That's fair. I'm with you like not even like
- 48:15sound-wise. Like I think I think that if we
- 48:18can do this list without Backcountry, I feel like we're
- 48:21doing something you just want to do that because Cory doesn't
- 48:23want Backcountry. No, no, not even.
- 48:26I just feel like If we can do this without the one song that
- 48:31everybody knows those true. Yeah.
- 48:34And show that this kind of just canceling out one on your list
- 48:38at that point. Yeah.
- 48:39Yeah. So you're saying like an
- 48:40introduction doesn't need that song because that's already some
- 48:44songs already. Introduced itself sometimes some
- 48:47bands. It's an under like the cars.
- 48:50Like you can't. I mean, you can't deny the cars
- 48:53hits. Like you can, it's impossible.
- 48:55No. But with a band, like Avenged.
- 48:58I think we're doing this service.
- 49:01If we keep Backcountry in, like, was lazy.
- 49:05Okay. I feel like, maybe, like more
- 49:07people feel that way about back the same way as Corey does about
- 49:11Backcountry. Mmm, and so if we go okay sure,
- 49:14you think, you know, but listen to these tenants that.
- 49:16Now again, if we get to our list and decide no, we need
- 49:20Backcountry. I'm also okay with having it
- 49:22because clearly two of us put on our list, so we'll see.
- 49:26But that is crossed off mine. So I clearly felt some kind of
- 49:30way about it. Just Jason Lee.
- 49:35There's no shots at unanimous, but you can get a couple more in
- 49:38the combo. Okay, dump out here.
- 49:44Warmness of the Soul. Nope, I wanted a sounding the
- 49:48seventh trumpet representations, especially since they wrote the
- 49:51damn thing in high school which is impressive.
- 49:53And let's see it for you because I couldn't, I was like there's
- 49:56too many important songs to me. I know I've got more in here.
- 50:05I'm running out though. Oh, buried alive.
- 50:09No, I did not have that one. That is a good one, though.
- 50:14Metaphorical. And then I've already
- 50:17foreshadowed this one earlier heretic.
- 50:20Nope, I tell you what that's it for me.
- 50:22I still have three guys. Heretic was the one was like
- 50:27number 22, heretic blood. Yeah, that's like, it's like
- 50:32they're Witch Hunt song. Basically, mmm heretic and I was
- 50:36going back and forth with heretic and Requiem and then I
- 50:39cut them both make sense of that one.
- 50:47Just for funsies, whatever you got left.
- 50:50So I had I went back and forth between dear God and seize the
- 50:54day because they both felt like they needed like one ballad but
- 50:58I ended up going to seize the day.
- 51:00Obviously, I did st. James I really like that song a
- 51:07lot. Okay.
- 51:09Yeah. On the extended version.
- 51:10Yeah, that is okay. It's a good song.
- 51:12It's kind of like it sounds like a King song, not like drinking
- 51:15song. But like you're at a bar with
- 51:16your buddies and you hear the song kind of come on and Rock
- 51:18Bar kind of thing and then the other one I had was planets.
- 51:25It's really okay. All right.
- 51:27No, I don't have planets but that's an interesting choice
- 51:31though. Yeah, that was one song, I
- 51:33looked and I was like, I don't know that anybody will ever
- 51:35choose this song and then someone shows that somebody
- 51:38choked that's I feel like I will bet into existence.
- 51:43You did, why am I David by my - to negativity?
- 51:45Yeah. My spidey sense is tingling, and
- 51:47I just was like, you know what? Let's listen here.
- 51:51But that said, we didn't hit You're nine, but we did eight.
- 51:57That's pretty cool. That is really good for.
- 52:01This is an expansive discography where they test out a lot of
- 52:04sounds. Mmm, nice to be sounded so crazy
- 52:07in the beginning, didn't I did, he did.
- 52:09I'm sounded nuts. I'm not most it.
- 52:12I secretly scoffed at you just Justin saw, but he didn't want
- 52:15to like acknowledge it. I almost did something even
- 52:20crazier which was put exist on this list just to be a butt
- 52:24hole. 15-minute song. I was like, here's an
- 52:27introduction. Here is an entire album in a
- 52:29song. Oh my gosh.
- 52:32Also here's Neil deGrasse Tyson talking for three minutes.
- 52:36So here's our eight already in Unholy Confessions Beast and the
- 52:39Harlot. Burn it down.
- 52:41Critical Acclaim, welcome to the family Shepherd.
- 52:43A fire Hail to the King and the stage are already in.
- 52:48We got a lot of two's here, What's it?
- 52:50Gonna take to convince you to let Little Piece of Heaven slide
- 52:53through Nothing. Okay, I'm A Little Piece of
- 52:56Heaven. The slide to, that's my Hilda
- 52:58died on. There we go.
- 53:00So let's do that. That brings us to 9.
- 53:02So now there's only one left and I think that officially puts an
- 53:06end to Backcountry unless, unless somebody really, really,
- 53:10really thinks Back Country should be in at this point.
- 53:13Oh my God. No, I don't carry.
- 53:16Actually. I feel like we got this far
- 53:17without it. Let's let's, let's get the rest
- 53:19of the way without it. I mean a country full of bat
- 53:22sounds terrible, so we can stop here.
- 53:24Backcountry. All right.
- 53:26So what do we still gotta live here?
- 53:27Second heartbeat almost easy, scream afterlife nightmare
- 53:32Natural. Born Killer fiction, we don't
- 53:37have anything really of their slow stuff.
- 53:40In any other music, okay? And I feel like fictions kind of
- 53:43like the only song on that list it really represents their kind
- 53:46of like knots. Yeah but I had a feeling you
- 53:50were going fiction on that one, I completely agree.
- 53:52Okay, so I'm the odd man out. Let's go ahead and put that
- 53:56through that was painless that gives us our 10, which is there
- 54:00any songs off the video games? I know that.
- 54:02That's not that you felt like, maybe like would have stood a
- 54:05chance. If we had them in this, like,
- 54:08carrion or not ready to die. I was gonna It's a carry-on
- 54:11probably I had. Hold on.
- 54:13I had carry on and I think flash to the blade, but that was also
- 54:17on Diamonds in the Rough too. But yeah, I had both of those.
- 54:20I feel like carrion might have made.
- 54:22My 20, is the one that I think the would have represented their
- 54:25video game songs. Mhm.
- 54:26Weird to say, but they're just songs.
- 54:29I mean, they're not like the 8-Bit did it.
- 54:32Did it dude. Yeah.
- 54:33That's not. But, you know.
- 54:36All right. So we have our 10 Unholy
- 54:37Confessions beast in the Harlot. Burn it down critical, acclaim.
- 54:40Mmmmm welcome to the family Shepherd Of Fire Hail to the
- 54:42King, the stage, A Little Piece of Heaven and fiction.
- 54:45Now Jason we get one song to tell people about Avenged
- 54:51Sevenfold of those 10 which is the one One song to tell people
- 54:56about Finn Sevenfold, like what song encompasses them boy?
- 55:01What's that little piece of heaven, even though we really
- 55:03wouldn't the bat for that song because that would be an odd
- 55:06representation of them. Yeah.
- 55:09Musically. And people will be like what is
- 55:11wrong with them? They're so diverse though.
- 55:18It's hard to pick one song that represents them.
- 55:23Oh my gosh. What do you think is the the
- 55:27most likely song you play? That makes them go.
- 55:30Okay. I'll listen to the rest of
- 55:32these. Oh, we're going that.
- 55:35There's like I had to okay, a different answer in my head.
- 55:38I'll keep ya. I'll wait till he's done
- 55:42something. No, I mean I if we're like the
- 55:45layperson, I mean Hail to the King is one that gets a lot of
- 55:49this Rock Fans in general going. So that's and Shepherd Of Fire
- 55:56is a good representation of what they can do.
- 55:59Musically, like just metal wise as well, if that just off that
- 56:03same album. What do you think?
- 56:07So if you're going to say like the most avenge sound, I would
- 56:10say, like, you know, like if you hurt like it, if I heard the
- 56:13first couple, like bars of this, I'd be like Avenged.
- 56:16It would be burned it down, but if we're going like, we're tying
- 56:20in the audience to like the first song, I'd say, welcome to
- 56:23the family because of the beat. Okay?
- 56:26So I'm going to add this layer to this and see if this keeps
- 56:30your answer the same. So, whatever song we choose will
- 56:34be Avenged. Just entrance into the best of
- 56:402022 episode. So if you, if you think that
- 56:46basically, we're trying to sell Al Fey going to listen to the
- 56:50whole song as the. So if we're trying to tie in,
- 56:53because if you said that this is for the album, like this is
- 56:56something that ties into General audience, I would say, welcome
- 56:58to the family, but for trying to tie in Fredo, I feel like it
- 57:01would be more Shepherd flyer. I think he'd be cool with well,
- 57:05The family. But like, I don't know.
- 57:08I feel like Shepherd of firewood like catch his interest faster.
- 57:12I make sense. Yeah, I'm completely.
- 57:13Okay. With Shepherd Of Fire.
- 57:14I like I was thinking, like, if you guys are going to sit and
- 57:16listen to the whole thing, I feel like if we put in exist or
- 57:19the stage then you guys would have to sit through 8 to 15
- 57:22minutes of them and be like okay okay it's them.
- 57:25All right what happened to you Jason?
- 57:27Why do you want to torture these fans like why are you doing
- 57:30this? We need more feet.
- 57:33All right. So like I do Just have to you
- 57:35just have to get enough of them sometimes and then your just,
- 57:39your become a fan bust by inertia.
- 57:42And by what if one song is that long just by inertia, we got
- 57:45them. Oh, there you go, there you go.
- 57:47I do think that Shepherd Of Fire Hail to the King is way to go.
- 57:50I will go ahead and put my weight behind Shepherd Of Fire.
- 57:54Since you both have said it, I think something like that gives.
- 57:59If you're giving Metallica Vibes, then maybe somebody will
- 58:02go. Oh, I wonder if they do older
- 58:04Metallica to and go backwards but them.
- 58:07So, you know, let's go. All right, we've made the dark
- 58:12lord happy. You can pull that as one of the
- 58:14best 2022 quotes for deprogrammed, all right?
- 58:19And let me do this. Shepherd Of Fire is our number
- 58:23one. Oh, it unhooked from the Mac.
- 58:29There we go. Or not.
- 58:34Oh yeah, there we go. The fire.
- 58:36Okay. Shepherd a fire is our number
- 58:38one. We got Unholy Confessions Beast
- 58:41and the Harlot, burn it down, critical, Acclaim, welcome to
