A7X - Making of City of Evil

This is some of the footage recovered of Avenged Sevenfold 3rd Studio Album City of Evil

[@KillerDCInstinct]

Man, I wish they did an official making of City of Evil....that album is superb with vocal and guitar melodies, and harmonies, and all those winding solos. Such a good album

[@justinwolf148]

At the time, they probably didn't know it was going to be one of the greatest metal albums ever released. And sadly HDTV/4K wasn't a thing yet

[@DancePorty]

One of my favorite albums of all time

[@monkeyliver1986]

Yep its their best album imo

[@VIVALDITYAWAN]

Couldnt agree more. The greatest metal album of all time.

[@vincentforest4074]

@@DancePorty Same, such a masterpiece imo

[@BlueFlameBird]

I could watch Jimmy play the drums for hours

[@17thiago4t]

The bass solo in Blinded in Chains is amazing

[@hafizjumat]

1:59 the most nearest we've ever saw syn play a little snippet of sidewinder song

[@TrungNguyen-wy2gi]

goddamn I can't wait to witness the Gates duo live just once in a lifetime

[@kaspermord1519]

I love the fact he hadn't even designed his signature guitars yet at that point.

[@BlackMaria]

And where's that?

[@kaspermord1519]

Reda Lhioui I'm sorry, I confused two songs there.

[@BlackMaria]

Sauercrafter XD gotcha fam

[@N20154]

He did it was the white schecter. They then did a limited runnof the guitar later

[@justinwolf148]

@@N20154 That white guitar he used was not a signature model. Thats a Schecter C1 FR Hellraiser which he made his own personal adjustments. The Synyster Custom was designed in 2006 before the self titled album was released because he liked the look, feel and playability of the Schecter Avenger [not signature] which was used in the Bat Country video.

[@nickkduhh]

I cant imagine being in that room with Jimmy recording the drums

Blinded in chains - the revs fastest song

[@morphBeeDaily]

Are you new fans?

[@morphBeeDaily]

You definitely fake fans. The song is blinded in chains dummy.

[@btrera6988]

Syn tone kinda dry alot here.. Or just me.

[@dylangosa7993]

Recording tones usually are. They'll lack bass and alot of other tones to help the parts sit in the final mixes better at the end. They get processed in post production as well

[@fanndyahmad1956]

What's a title?

[@fanndyahmad1956]

[@slapamother]

Sound and video quality is aweful

[@abnormal_karaoke]

these videos have likely been uploaded and redownloaded and reuploaded so many times throughout the years and have probably become more and more compressed, so why wouldn’t it be awful?
