Vengeance issued the following thanks to fans for their #4 Billboard
debut of the self- titled album Avenged Sevenfold: "It’s kind of funny
to wake up and see the words Avenged Sevenfold at the #4 spot on the
billboard top 200. Right next to The Eagles and a Britney/Carrie
Underwood threesome. I don’t know about you but it puts a smirk on my
face just knowing that our fans tattooed it right on the foreheads of
everyone who would quickly disregard the name Avenged Sevenfold (like we
aren’t a fucking force to be reckoned with, Haha). So once again thank
you from the bottom of our hearts."
"MTV has decided to debut our video for almost easy on TRL which makes
me believe that someone over at MTV is screaming for something real.
I’ll be honest with you, when I roll out of bed every morning my goal in
life isn’t to be alongside popstars or actors and actresses or on the
cover of the national enquirer. It sure does feel good though to
surprise all those people that don’t even know what "an A7X" is by
putting them right behind us on the countdown or going home with their
moonman."
"We’re coming to your city to kick ass and have a great fucking time
with all of you. Thank you all again for every ounce of support love and
respect!"
