    Its great but this new drummer blows

    So tell me this....why was the Rev a watered-down version of Portnoy? They had the apprentice, now they lucky to have the master.

    Wasnt the rev an admirer of portnoy anyway! Thats why they have him now!

    Some people wouldnt recognise musical ability if a guitar held by dimebag darrell and randy rhoads hit them in the face

    Brilliantly put, I think A7X fans need to cop on to themselves as they've literally got one of the worlds greatest drummers in their band, and he deserves their respect alone for how gracious he's been, in keeping that medicore band alive..

    Yeah Portnoy was apparently Rev's favourite drummer, so its a respect thing that Portnoy is doing it for.

    If you're going to insult the band at least spell the name right. You know the way everyone else on the thread has done. Unless you're trying to be funny and just not being very good at it.

    You are right. Misspelling the bands name whilst insulting them is just insulting. Thanks for pointing that out.:rolleyes:

    The rev was also a damn good drummer you know.

    Yes, although like an even more famous drummer, his studio work was always alot better than his live output.

    I only say this from my own limited viewing of them live.

    kinda like the way trivium's "the crusade" was, why do all bands of that fan base seem to try and ape metallica when they are popular!

    Sounds like a pile of ****e to me. Very simplistic drumming compared to what u usually hear from Portnoy.

    I assume so yeah, its more a tribute drum track than anything else.

    just had a listen to Nightmare -really like it. Fair enough the drumming isnt anything like how good it was but a good enough effort. It much better than what you hear on allot of stuff these days.
    liking a few of the more mellow tracks as well which i never thought Id say

    Just cements the fact that the Rev should've stayed in Pinkly Smooth.




    This albums a downer and the one before it was just empty- the two previous where fun though. The Rev was a better singer than Shadows and their main song writer. It's going to be interesting to see what way they go- whether they keep the name or even the style, now that he's passed.

    Saw the video today no sign of Mike Portnoy in it, wonder who the next permanent drummer will be

    Im sure that they will carry on as the sevenfold we know. They're top of the chart, the have one of the biggest and most loyal fanbases of all the modern metal acts. number one on billboard, man thats an acheivment. It wont be the same without Jimmy, but I'd say theres another chapter to be added to the book of nightmares...

    Delighted MP has a number 1, fitting after 25 years in the business.

    Despite not being a fan, fair play to the others in the band, they pulled through big time here.
