Song Of The Week #6: Billy Talent: Red Flag

For this song of the week I'm doing a song by an awesome band that is extremely underrated. Billy Talent. They are a Canadian punk rock band. They are sort of like a Canadian Rise Against, they love to write political things, and have similar style, musically and looks. Their songs come in a wide range of styles but always very good. The song I picked by them is called Red Flag, If i'm not mistaken it's an anti-government song. Anyway it's very catchy so listen and enjoy :]
-Peace out beautiful people :]

Song Of The Week #5: Avenged Sevenfold: Gunslinger

This week I decided to pick a song from Avenged Sevenfold (A7X). They are my second favorite band ever after Chevelle. And it's also the band that my idol The Rev is from. They are a much different type of rock though. A7X is a thrash/metalcore band. They are a more fast paced upbeat but dark type of metal that really gets your head bobbing. People who don't like this type of music might mistake them for being your stereotypical metal band. But I don't like those type of bands, I like bands that are actually good at their instruments, that excel at them actually. And Avenged Sevenfold is a prime example. All of the members: M. Shadows (vocals), The Rev (drums/percussion/piano/backing vocals), Johnny Christ (bass), Synester Gates (Lead guitar/backing vocals), and Zachy Vengence (rhyme guitar/backing vocals) are absolutely insane at what they do. Listen to any of their songs and try to pick out an instrument in particular and you will be amazed (especially the drums ;D).
So the song I picked is not your normal A7X song, I picked the one that I like most right now. It's called Gunslinger. This song is written from the perspective of a man in the military, it's about how he misses home and clings to the thought of it to get through what he's doing. I like it a lot because I have two very close cousins that are in the United States Navy and I miss them both very much. The music itself is different from their other songs, it starts off with a really catchy southern sounding guitar lick that is fun to listen to. No drums, no bass, no lead guitar. It helps you focus on the lyrics more and actually understand the meaning. About halfway through tho after the second chorus I believe it catches you off guard very abruptly and kicks into full Avenged Sevenfold mode. With a raunchy guitar riff and much heavier vocals. I love songs that start soft and get really heavy so I really really like this song. So without further ado here is the song :D
Have a good one beautiful people :]

Song Of The Week #4: Atreyu: Ex's And Oh's

This week i'm doing a song by my favorite metalcore band, Atreyu. They are a band that mixes heavy heavy screaming with really super catchy melodic clean vocal chorus. All the while with screeching lead guitar and awesome solos. The song Ex's and Oh's is, if i'm not mistaken, a breakup song. It's a song that gets your head bobing and makes you wanna move. So listen and enjoy. Adios beautiful people :D

Song Of The Week #3: Breaking Benjamin: Diary Of Jane

Hey guys sorry I didn't do a Song Of The Week last thursday  I was out of town. Anyway this week is going to be Breaking Benjamin. BB is a hard rock icon. They are an incredibly talented bunch of guys who write great music. And at their head is a guy named Benjamin Burnly. Ben is the songwriter, singer, rhythm guitarist and the heart of BB (hence Breaking Benjamin). He is a very good at what he does and proves it time and time again.
The song I picked by them is one of their most famous songs, Diary Of Jane. This song is very melodic while still being very powerful. It has a GREAT chorus that sucks you in and makes you want to sing along. It is obviously about Ben wanting to be remembered by a girl named Jane. If that means she died or is an ex I'm not too sure. What I am sure about though is that it is a very good song.
Enjoy beautiful peoples :D

Song Of The Week #2: A Day To Remember: All I Want


Alright so here is my Song Of The Week #2. This time it's A Day To Remember. This band I haven't been listening to for very long but they have quickly become one of my favorites. They are one of those bands that is metal but sounds punk at the same time. They love to mix crazy awesome clean vocal melodies with friggin' sick screaming. I think it sounds amazing. Ok, so the song I picked is called All I Want. Which is my favorite song by them right now. It's a very fun very catchy song that's great to listen to, that also has a great meaning. It's about keeping your head and your hopes up no matter what happens. The video itself is pretty cool because they have a TON of famous people in it. They had a bunch of other famous bands they have played with in the past come on and be in the video, so you might recognize some of them :] (and for you girls I just watched the video and I just spotted Pete Wentz ;D) Anyway ADTR is an awesome band and they have a whole bunch of really good songs, so go out and listen to them, they deserve it :]
peace beautiful peoples :D
