So, I'm sitting here, it's currently very late at night (1:04 AM to be exact) and I am (was) listening to "1234" by Feist.

And I felt the need to write about a certain band called Avenged Sevenfold.

Or, a7x.

Or, five dudes with the names of, M. Shadows, Johnny Christ, The Rev, Synyster Gates, and Zacky Vengeance.

Or five dudes in a metal band.

Or five dudes in a metal band that guitar riffs make you fall in love.

Or five dudes in a metal band that guitar riffs make you fall in love, AND the drums make you fall in lust.

Whatever you want to call them.

I haven't felt this way about a band in forever. Not since My Chem, who I haven't listened to in forever. I miss you My Chemical Romance!

They introduced me to a whole new genre of music. Before them, I didn't even know a guitar could sound that way.

I didn't know drums could sound like gunshots.

I didn't know five dudes could make music that amazing.

I didn't know five guys could change their hair color that often.

They remind me so much of Iron Maiden, it's not even funny. And I only know, what? Three songs by Iron Maiden?

There's no real point to this, other than me wanting to thank the guys, who, probably, made my life the tiniest bit better.

I have fallen in love with your music. With your guitar. With your drums.

I love you. I love you so much for making music this way.

I love you. I love you. I love--.

Yeah. I'll stop now.
If one of the guys from Avenged Sevenfold happen to stumble upon here thinking it's porn, thank you. so fucking much.

Have I mentioned I love you guys?
