Zacky Vengeance: I would have to say that my favorite on the new album - I mean it's always changing which is such a great thing, you know. When you get into one song and then you forget how another song is. The song that I've really loved the most for such a long time - I really love "Afterlife."
I think that's such a strong song and the meaning is really strong and it shows off all, you know, the parts of Avenged Sevenfold that have made us what we are, you know. The dueling guitars, you know, you know, fast drum beats, but then it opens up wide open and has one of the hookiest catches choruses that I know we've ever written.
And I like that because it really represents Avenged Sevenfold. But I also love songs like "A Little Piece of Heaven" it represents us in the fact that we're have never been afraid to try new things and just go wild, you know.
As far as overall, favorite song of all time would probably - it would probably have to be -- oh, wow, it's a tough question. I think "MIA." That's from City of Evil. I've always loved that song and lyrically, I think that's probably one of the most meaningful, strongest, heartfelt songs that we've ever written.
(Nick Zazulia): Hey, Zacky. My first question is of the bands you're playing with at Taste of Chaos what's your - who are you most excited to play with?
Zacky Vengeance: Oh, wow. I'm really , really excited to do a full proper arena tour with Atreyu because, you know, I remember playing literally in front of 10 people alongside those guys. They're co-headlining the first tours that we'd ever done and we both come from the same place. And we both had broken through, you know, the Metalcore label and kind of became a little more mainstream, I guess, but we've always maintained a core fan base.
Oh, I'm really excited and proud of those guys and I can't wait to see what they have, you know, to offer the Taste of Chaos fans every night.
(Nick Zazulia): All right. Great. And where are you most excited to play on the tour?
Zacky Vengeance: Oh, wow. You know, to be honest I'm really excited for every one of the shows because, you know, the ticket sales have all been really strong and, you know, knowing that thousands of kids are going to show up to see us on a show that we've always, you know, wanted to do and talked about doing with sparing no expense. I think every show's going to be great. I'm really looking forward to the, you know, hometown show in Long Beach. It's always great to see friends and family and let them see how far we've come from the days at planning it. Yes. So, that's one of the (unintelligible) people.
