Even when we were at that point when we had very few fans, we never felt like a small band. We always felt like we had a big purpose. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
After ‘City of Evil,’ the world was still kind of apprehensive about Avenged Sevenfold. They didn’t know if we were a serious band or just some kids trying to play really ambitious music with crazy guitar parts that would be here one minute and gone the next. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
We like to be in touch with our fans, but we’re also very private. ‘Cause, to us, it’s not about Zacky or M. Shadows or Synyster Gates. It’s about Avenged Sevenfold; it’s more important than any one of us. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
We really wanted to create an album that had no boundary or limit to it. There’s nothing to say that we couldn’t release a song that belongs on ‘The Stage’ 20 years into our career. We want it to be an album that constantly grows with what we want to do, and that’s what we did. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
We’re very historically tried and true when it comes to our albums. We pick the best songs; we get rid of the songs we feel don’t fit on the album, and we don’t work on remixing or remastering albums. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
All the song choices that we’ve picked are unique in their own right. They’re fun, and it’s really just to engage our fans. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
I can honestly tell you, if it wasn’t for our fans, there would not be Avenged Sevenfold right now. Zacky Vengeance Read Quote
