When Avenged Sevenfold came out with their fifth release, 2010’s Nightmare, all ears turned towards the effort. It was Avenged Sevenfold’s first record without founding member and drummer James “The Rev” Sullivan, and many thought the band’s influence was over. Instead, the guys came out with an epic, dark, deeply personal collection of songs that took listeners on a painful journey inside the lives of the band members, and scored three rock radio hits to boot.
I had the chance to chat with bass player Johnny Christ for WWBN Banana 101.5-FM at Rock on the Range, and the footage is below.
