Every riff had to be perfect and heavy, collectively what we wanted it to be. If there was one person in the room who went, 'Heh, I don't think it is there yet, guys,' we'd scrap the whole song. I think that took a little bit of songwriting maturity for us.

The fans have always been die-hard and awesome. That's why we do a lot of the things we do.

It wasn't until high school that I realized Avenged Sevenfold was picking up locally.

You really have to play with the space in a riff so it can be allowed to breathe.
