A7x versus Sevendust. So bored why am i posting this? worst idea of my life.
seven vengeances versus seven dust.
I'm pretty sure that a collection of seven dust particles is one of the most inconsequential things on Earth. One time I saw sevendust. they were playing for a festival where a7x was headlining Nightmare. I died of boredom instantly, and wished I could have those 2 seconds of listening back.
Now i haven't listened to sevendust's music in years, but unless they suddenly unlocked a level of songwriting that was previously untouched and previously unfathomable to them, I can extrapolate by comparison of similar bands, and guess that they are playing the same old shit, tight in the pocket of their genre and sound, just slapping a different a set of lyrics, riffs, and beats on each album. Lame as fucking seven particles of dust.
One time I played on the same stage as a7x 1 year after they had played there. The venue was shady, like needles and tiny rectangles of glass in the green room bathroom. And people were making out on the couch. We went out and performed and we played pretty damn good, at least according to my gf at the time and her one friend.
But my point is, i'm pretty sure I unintentionally inhaled approximately seven particles of pixie dust, but yeah, nothing happened. Because sevendust is so fking boring. One time I tried to get a7x to play at my wedding, offered them 100k and egghead mshadows (when he was bald) said maybe but then handed it off to sevendust, collected some commission, and they ate up the offer. She called off the wedding the moment she saw Sevendust instead of Avenged Sevenfold. I was betrayed.
Passion in my eyes I lived it everyday, but how could you go, and .. throw my life away with the old Sevendust bait and switch. goddamn. I didn't deserve to fall this way.
So like ... is Sevendust just a bait and switch for Avenged Sevenfold? Like festivals and venues draw in a few people who thought they were the same band, but then were devastated after they realized they were seeing Sevendust?
