I was about 13 when I fell in love with Avenged Sevenfold, and now I'm 26 going on 27 and they're still my favorite band. Sometimes I forget how much of a fangirl I use to be until I catch myself listening to their music singing every single lyric.
@@tyreemoss8990 bat country is great, but of all the songs I've played, dancing dead is the only one that makes my kids involuntarily spasm and dance lol they love singing along to many of them, but everyone starts moving when dancing dead comes on
It does. Most of these diamonds in the rough songs are genius creation. Fuck knows why they weren’t released. Maybe they were doubting themselves, maybe it was out of their control?
I'm not even sure what you're talking about lol. Fans are listening to diamonds in the rough because they never got released as a stand alone album. I guess you're just agreeing with me in a weird way. Who knows.
Christian Stober Yeah man. This is probably A7X near their best. I think City of Evil and their self titled was their prime. This track came out between those album releases, so it makes sense.
the band mentioned there was one song off of self-titled and diamonds and the rough that the band really liked but didn't really fit the vibe of the album. This was most definitely the song they were talking about. it's in an interview somewhere on youtube
Dead men, they celebrate As the final chapter fades away 'Cause they can't hide We can see their flesh is rotten The band plays a hopeful tune The champagne is poured as they socialize But look in their eyes, hide in the light!

And the lyrics for the short part after the solo at 3:46, for whoever was wondering, are: What you want is law You crowd me with all that you stole Oh, how the mighty fall Yeah, yeah, yeah
Most of the songs on Diamonds in the Rough weren't quite ready for album release and it shows. Songs like Crossroads, while having some very solid ideas and being not all that bad, don't quite feel finished> Except this one. This song is fucking fire. Why this got passed over for the album release I'll never know.
I don't know if it's because I'm so used to the actual self-titled but when you listen an album you notice all the songs have at least one thing in common that makes you connect them in your mind. I love this song too but I feel it wouldn't have fit in the self titled
Having listened the whole A7x discography a thousand times I think this song sounds more city of evil or nightmare themed (or even the stage), the solos remind me of the stage and city of evil, the chorus city of evil and the after-solo reminds me of nightmare (more exactly buried alive)
Such a banger. Too god damn underrated. The guitar riffs, the breakdown, the solo. The drumming. The lyrics. The vocals. The vocal and guitar harmonies. Mm. Deserves the Italian kiss. 🤌👌
This song is inside their B-Side album. They litterally don’t want this whole album to outfamous other albums between them (Self Titted & Nightmare) This album was created after Self Tittled. They released it as a package with Live in the LBC DVD’s to hype it up. They also made it to keep us enjoy waiting for the next album they will release 2 years later (Nightmare) The funnieat part is, I love this album so much but they would never perform this album Live
@@michaelsmoak6267 Well nice that you consider this song to be fantastic, though not to be one of their best songs. Indicates this band has songs even better than fantastic, pretty cool :P
This song just flows so well. I love the upped presence of the bass and the guitars sound so much more active. Shadows is at the top of his game and The Rev never disappoints.
I have loved these guys since their earliest...RIP REV! but absolutely our guitarists never let down musically. Shadows without a scream, yet voice still in check. All of them actually
I heard this song for the first time about 10 years ago. And the guitar solo still gives me shivers like it did back in the early days... It's easily one of the Top 10 A7X songs, at least for me ♥
One of the most underrated Avenged song, the guitar solo's effin' sick... known them since 2006, still one of my favourite band though i don't normally listen to metal anymore.. got nothing but love for them❤❤❤
I guess usually they’re busy making albums but lately they haven’t been doing anything except releasing old material while M Shadows’ voice is recovering
This music brings back my memories when I was in middle school. Such an easy life back then. You came home and listened to a7x musics and trained your guitar skill to show off to your friends.
Super under the radar song, you can be a Avenged fan since the beginning and still find gems jamming the whole albums you skimmed over! I still regard Waking The Fallen as the all around GOAT of heavy metal albums! Yes I know this isnt on that album before you internet warriors comment! Just chatting with true homies here!
Remastered: -No one from the band is involved -some good mixers tune the sound to perfection -keeping original album in mind "they want the original!" -smart person -PERFECTION
You guys helped me while I was in the hospital in icu for almost two weeks and then 4 weeks in the upper floor so it was a month and a half I listened to you guys songs like afterlife, so far away, dear god etc
Thanks Berd for introducing me to this *awesome* song (and just this band in general) Can’t wait to introduce this to my brother (he’s somewhat of a metal head so I think he’ll love this song and band)

This solo is without a doubt one of the most innovative sounding things I’ve ever heard
Zacky wrote this solo
Its great but how is it innovative?
@@TankP0wnz that was the second one
This solo is really groovy same with girl I know this hole album is so groovy
u need to listen more music.
I was about 13 when I fell in love with Avenged Sevenfold, and now I'm 26 going on 27 and they're still my favorite band. Sometimes I forget how much of a fangirl I use to be until I catch myself listening to their music singing every single lyric.

wow nice, been a fan since i was 7 years old,
Same here since i was 2 years old started listening to this lovely band 🔥🔥
Same!
Listened to Night are as my first song when I was 7 I'm 14 turning 15 soon.
The solo is one of their best ever, and the fact that Zacky made it shows you how incredibly talented the whole band is. GOD i love it
mariam Zacky wrote and played the second solo ? But the first is played by Syn, isn’t it ?
@@mbsr1579 you're right
@@mbsr1579 yeah

4:50 😩😩😭perfection

Agree this solo is incredible 🔥🔥🔥
this has possibly the catchiest hook of any of their songs
Greg Madden bat country tho
@@tyreemoss8990 bat country is great, but of all the songs I've played, dancing dead is the only one that makes my kids involuntarily spasm and dance lol they love singing along to many of them, but everyone starts moving when dancing dead comes on
It does. Most of these diamonds in the rough songs are genius creation. Fuck knows why they weren’t released. Maybe they were doubting themselves, maybe it was out of their control?
@@lotrcdefender Do you realize that there are only fans here in these songs? Genius songs doesn't get mass credit like simpler ones...
I'm not even sure what you're talking about lol. Fans are listening to diamonds in the rough because they never got released as a stand alone album. I guess you're just agreeing with me in a weird way. Who knows.
Underrated asf
Facts
This song just rocks
Absolutely. I found this song randomly on TH-cam probably 8 years ago. I lost it when I saw they officially released it digitally.
@@KILLzone_565 no wonder it's amazing...I thought this was a new song lol
Christian Stober Yeah man. This is probably A7X near their best. I think City of Evil and their self titled was their prime. This track came out between those album releases, so it makes sense.
one of their best songs. should've been a-side material!
I totally agree. But that goes to show how awesome the A side material is if you think about it
Maybe. But perhaps too similar in theme to a little piece of heaven to fit on self titled.
@@coultersheppard6215 Nah it was going to be good, like what they did it Hail To The King
Yeah I agree, chorus, the build up, and guitar solo are top notch, But the intro has no hook at all, that's probably why they put this on B side.
the band mentioned there was one song off of self-titled and diamonds and the rough that the band really liked but didn't really fit the vibe of the album. This was most definitely the song they were talking about. it's in an interview somewhere on youtube
This is legitimately an amazing song
Wasn’t expecting to see you here but let’s be real you’re everywhere
You and UwU are literally everywhere at this rate I'm not surprised you're here
Wow you are here
I know like 3 people already commented this but do you spend like all day on youtube cause you are in every comment section
Oh my god, it's the dude. The guy. Him
“Tick tock the time bomb has been recognized, pressurized”
I can say that over and over and never fail to have goosebumps.
everything is paid for tonight while at the party of the dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free so relax
Enjoy the sight of all the dead dancing in the graves
And while the world they built
Told them to change
Told them to listen they just kept it the same

Dead men, they celebrate
As the final chapter fades away
'Cause they can't hide
We can see their flesh is rotten
The band plays a hopeful tune
The champagne is poured as they socialize
But look in their eyes, hide in the light!
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves
Bones covered up by suits
As the visible scars, they multiply
Kiss it goodbye
I'm too stubborn and I will destroy
Tick, tock, the time bomb has been
Recognized and pressurized
Nowhere to hide
Swallowing light
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen
They just kept it the same
And now that midnight has come
I'm in a room watching the
Dead dancing in their graves
I feel a coming strength
And now it's too late to change
Everything is paid for tonight
While at the party of the
Dead dancing in their graves
The drinks here are free
So relax, enjoy the sight of all the
Dead dancing in their graves
And while the world that they built
Told 'em to change, told 'em to listen

What's the song about?
My favorite Diamonds in the Rough track, hands down. I remember keeping it on repeat back in 2009 and getting goosebumps everytime.
Same :)
the end solo is perfect
That solo was by zacky
yeah that solo was play by zacky v.
Absolutely the most underrated A7X song of all time
big agree
I'd say that title goes to Until The End personally, but Dancing Dead is definitely under rated
Not underrated. many love this song, def my favorite one
St-James would disagree with you
This is a copy of a 80s song, forget the name of it
syn's solo was just pure fire literally so underrated just like the album damn this needs more attention
I cannot explain how much I love this song. It just can’t be put into words.
Most of the songs on Diamonds in the Rough weren't quite ready for album release and it shows. Songs like Crossroads, while having some very solid ideas and being not all that bad, don't quite feel finished>
Except this one. This song is fucking fire. Why this got passed over for the album release I'll never know.
I don't know if it's because I'm so used to the actual self-titled but when you listen an album you notice all the songs have at least one thing in common that makes you connect them in your mind. I love this song too but I feel it wouldn't have fit in the self titled
Having listened the whole A7x discography a thousand times I think this song sounds more city of evil or nightmare themed (or even the stage), the solos remind me of the stage and city of evil, the chorus city of evil and the after-solo reminds me of nightmare (more exactly buried alive)
I also feel like Demons would totally have its spot in City of Evil
I wonder if this was going to be part of the Halloween ep that got scrapped. A little piece of heaven was supposed to be on it too.
Well now we know where the name of the album comes from lol
This one includes one of the catchiest choruses of all time.
i grew up listening to this on a cd in my dads truck. we called it “the monster truck song” it’ll always have a special place in my heart
Such a banger. Too god damn underrated. The guitar riffs, the breakdown, the solo. The drumming. The lyrics. The vocals. The vocal and guitar harmonies. Mm. Deserves the Italian kiss. 🤌👌
This Whole album is SEVERALLY underrated.... Can not get enough of this!!
This is my favorite album.
"Tick tock, the time bomb has been recognized, has been presurized" Man, I fucking love that part.
This song have one of my favorite solos of all time.
R.I.P. The Rev. your musical contributions and amazing energy are missed.
Hear me out, y'all. Dancing Dead is a cult CLASSIC everyone has to love. It is just WAY TOO DAMN GOOD.
Yes!!
Can anybody explain why this song is barely known? It's one of their best songs, at least a very, very good one!
Cause it wasnt on Spotify
This song is inside their B-Side album.
They litterally don’t want this whole album to outfamous other albums between them (Self Titted & Nightmare)
This album was created after Self Tittled. They released it as a package with Live in the LBC DVD’s to hype it up.
They also made it to keep us enjoy waiting for the next album they will release 2 years later (Nightmare)
The funnieat part is, I love this album so much but they would never perform this album Live

Bro, you are so frickin lucky
I have the whole discography just not original pressings.
Me too man! I have every cd still in perfect condition from all those years back:)
i have EVERY CD
I have every album even bought sounding the seventh trumpet when it first came out

I have loved these guys since their earliest...RIP REV! but absolutely our guitarists never let down musically. Shadows without a scream, yet voice still in check. All of them actually
Most underrated song to date, my favourite solo produced by them, heavy fast, yet simple. God I love this
No matter what, every time I listen to this song, I'm always pulled back to when I was 16 and this was on all my top playlists.. I miss those days.
The to and fro between zacky & gates makes it more epic, two solo breaks too👌🏻
Dancing Dead: great song, great solos! My fav along with Tension.
All Avenged Sevenfold playlists must include this song
TE AMO AVENGED LPM

I heard this song for the first time about 10 years ago. And the guitar solo still gives me shivers like it did back in the early days... It's easily one of the Top 10 A7X songs, at least for me ♥

just love this musicality in this song! so much to be heard and felt by each musician. sidewinder was another good example
Not only that solo, the song itself sounds soo badass, most importantly high quality music
Why did it take so long for this beautiful song to get put on Spotify😭
Warner had the rights for these songs
ITS ON SPOTIFY NOW YESSSS I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOREVER
I guess usually they’re busy making albums but lately they haven’t been doing anything except releasing old material while M Shadows’ voice is recovering
Rdog yeah that’s exactly what it is they were supposed to go on tour with a new album this year but it got pushed to next year
Because Spotify is retarded.

The ending part of this song is amazing
The solo 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Would kill to see this being played live, one of their most underrated songs for real.
That ending solo and drumming tho..still gets me
This song gives me major Oingo Boingo vibes. Not the sound, but the lyrics and subject matter.
I love this solo.
Man these songs make online school a breeze. Like 2 hours of non stop A7X. Good stuff
Nostalgia hits hard...
The first solo is so insane and gives me goosebumps everytime, and then second solo, so smooth and peaceful backed up with M Shadows soft vocals
