Line 3:
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]:
** Take your pick, but ''City of Evil'' is a good start.
** They YMMV with the band, even haters tend to agree that [[Fear and Loathing Inin Las Vegas|"Bat Country"]], "Unholy Confessions", and [[The Bible (Literature)|"The Beast and The Harlot"]] are awesome songs.
* [[BigNon LippedSequitur Alligator MomentScene]]: The scene of Jimmy chasing a goose in All Excess.
* [[Bloody Hilarious]]: "A Little Piece of Heaven"
* [[Broken Base]]: Fans of Avenged Sevenfold's earlier material vs fans of their later material. Fans opinions of the [[Self-Titled Album]] is particularly split.
Line 17:
* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]:
** It's a little unsettling to hear The Rev say "You'll never see me again" in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3tPPM4UfWmk this interview]. Also, the song [[Tear Jerker|"Fiction"]] definitely counts even though it was released after his death, as it was the last song he wrote and the song is told from the point of view of someone recently deceased saying goodbye to their loved ones. To add to the eeriness, it contains the very last vocal and piano tracks he ever recorded and is the only song on the album that features his voice and playing. Well that, and this quote:
{{quote| '''M. Shadows:''' "The new album, Nightmare, is dedicated to The Rev's memory and although it's not exactly a concept album, it does center around The Rev. The eeriest thing about it is there is a song on the album called "Fiction", which started out with the title [[Funny Aneurysm Moment|"Death". And the song was the last song The Rev wrote for the album, and when he handed it in, he said, that’s it, that’s the last song for this record. And then 3 days later, he died]]."}}
** Not quite - he'd actually been writing the song for several years, referring to it as his masterpiece.
** [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IESAiJYvG0 Another one here].
Line 30:
* [[Harsher in Hindsight]]:
** This quote from Revolver's Avenged Sevenfold collector's edition:
{{quote| '''Synyster Gates:''' "Yeah, he fucking planned it all, that crazy fuck. Knew he was gonna be gone before 30. He told my dad that he was fucking out. He said, "I know two things: I'm gonna be in a famous rock band, and I'm gonna die before I'm 30." He told my dad that at 15." }}
** The song Brompton Cocktail. For those unaware, it was written by The Rev about a man who will die due to something wrong with him and is given a Brompton cocktail (a mix of morphine or heroin, cocaine, and alcohol) to relieve the pain. The Rev was found with OxyContin, Valium, and alcohol in his system when he died; his enlarged heart was either considered part of the reason why he died, or [[Epileptic Trees|he used them to make sure he wouldn't die suddenly from the aforementioned heart defect]].
** It's often said of him that he had a "huge heart", like a kind heart. He also had an enlarged heart, which partially lead to his death.
* [[Heartwarming Moments (Sugar Wiki)|Heartwarming Moments]]:
** Their 2010 album, ''Nightmare'' features numerous tributes to the Rev.
** The video for ''Nightmare'' never shows the band performing together (Only Zacky & Syn playing together in the guitar solo), and ends with a single shot of The Rev's final drum kit, bathed in a white light - ''And this is the only shot of the drums in the entire video''.
*** Technically there is a shot of The Rev's kit from ''City of Evil'', smashed, broken, and crawling with spiders, (a reference to the Afterlife video, which has spiders crawling on The Revs face.) near the beginning.
*** Also, the video opens with a shot of a tattoo of The Rev's deathbat on Matt's hand
** [[Dream Theater (Music)|Mike Portnoy]] stepping in to fill in for The Rev on the album Nightmare and following tours. He was The Rev's favorite drummer and biggest influence.
** In terms of heartwarming songs, "Warmness on The Soul" is a good example.[[Ear Worm|"I give my heart,cause nothing can compare in this world to you......."]]
* [[He's Just Hiding]]: More than a few fans are convinced that The Rev's in the woods training to become the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Dlz94epxb8 knife master.]
* [[Ho Yay]]:
** Lots, but you can thank [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Jimmy and Brian]] for most of it.
** There's a lot between Brian and Zacky, as well.
** [http://i189.photobucket.com/albums/z180/Danaway_Tango/MS.jpg This picture of Brian and Matt deserves a mention.]{{Dead link}}
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Look at the size of that [[Cluster F-Bomb|fucking]] duck!"
* [[Memetic Sex God]]: Brian.
Line 58:
** ''Fiction'' is very chilling. Subverted when it becomes a [[Tear Jerker]] about half way through it.
*** And then goes back to being [[Nightmare Fuel]] for the last thirty seconds or so, which is basically a passage of eery near-silence.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: [[Overkill (Musicband)|Overkill]]'s mascot Chaly has been around longer than A7X's Deathbat. The former band has even sent the members of the latter band shirts telling them to "get your own fuckin' mascot!" for "stealing" the design.
* [[The Scrappy]]: "Dear God"
* [[Ship Mates]]: The bandslash fans do this a lot, most often with Synacky and Jimohnny.
