Amp settings for Avenged Sevenfold please?
Can I please get the bass/mid/treble settings for Avenged Sevenfold songs. Particularly Hail to the king album but just basic settings for it would be great. :) Also if you could say the tone on the guitar to use but not necessary :)
What tuning do Avenged Sevenfold play in? (Guitar)?
IN answer to your question, 95% of the time they play in drop D. The only exception is when they're playing any song with chords/acoustic guitar, then they play in standard. In answer to the guy who called them trash because they say they're metal - Guess what? They've never claimed to be metal. They've said hardcore, and that when when they were younger. Now they don't even give themselves the label of rock because their influences are so diverse, from rock, to rap to country. and I just saw the second part of the question. They don't tune their guitars...if You were to go to a show or watch live in the LBC or something of the sort, you would see that they switch guitars between most of the songs. Usually Zacky plays wtih 3-4 different guitars (He usually starts wtih his Mirror guitar, then moves onto either his vBlade, his original 6661 custom, or acoustic depending on the song) Syn usually uses the same guitar design for all tunings so you can't tell as much..he also usually never plays an acoustic :P Usually the only tuning switch is when Zacky has to switch from a song in Standard tuning to drop D tuning, becuase those are the only tunings that THEY use, though some people may tab the songs in different tunings.
What would it take for rock music to make a comeback?
In America it’s two things that are killing rock and metal.Generally not too many people under 25 listen to rock unless they are musicians themselves. The only exception to this is the nostalgia factor where they are into bands like Zeppelin or Metallica just to say they went to that show. It’s a trendy nostalgia thing. If Metallica or Slayer plays sure they will check them out.Young girls aged 14–25 are not into rock and roll at all. This is a big one because boys go where the girls go. In the 70s and 80s and even in the 90s more girls were into rock. Now most girls in America are into rap or hip hop or girl centric pop acts. I was talking to a 23 year old girl at work and when I mentioned that I am in a rock band, she immediately said, “Oh, 80s music”. And then I said, “No we are like Zeppelin” and she said, “Oh, got it, classic rock.” I sort of felt antiquated and put down. lol.If you could somehow get younger people and girls interested in rock it might make a resurgence but I doubt it’ll happen. When rock has been out of the spotlight for about 20 years, today’s people have no connection to it. You can’t just prop up a young band and go, “Worship these guys”. It won’t work! Even the big labels can’t save rock now. Rock has basically morphed into pop rock and the only bands that are surviving are bands like Imagine Dragons. That’s the only type of rock; that is, a guy with a guitar, that the masses will accept. Singer songwriter acts will live on forever, that’s for sure. I don’t think the guy with an acoustic guitar is ever going to go out of fashion. Actually today acoustic guitars are outselling electrics. Rock will probably continue to morph but I think the LOUD hard hitting rock band era like AC/DC, Metallica and Iron Maiden are done. Besides, most of the bands today don’t have that type of talent that these guys from the 80s bands did. It was a different time! You may have singular guys that are good but most likely they can’t put a band together or meet other people to form a band. So forming a band that is great where everybody in the band is good is a miracle. Something that powerful where literally everybody in the band is playing at level 10 skill wise, hasn’t happened in a long time. If there are such bands out there, they don’t get the big label’s attention because major labels stopped signing rock bands around 2000. It’s pretty much a no win situation.
