Fan film by an Avenged Sevenfold fan.

Song: Dancing Dead by Avenged Sevenfold

Done by: TLCook57

Description:
"Please forward this video to Avenged Sevenfold if you like it. This is a fan film to showcase the talents of up and coming actors and film-
makers. It is for entertainment purposes only. IT IS NOT an official video for Avenged Sevenfold. We just really wanted to promote A7X's new album "Diamonds in the Rough". And to make a film showing how much we love their stuff!"

P/S: Description of video is taken from the owner itself. I did not change a single word, hence the "xx".

I have to say, the concept of the video is really good. It received some great responses from fellow Avenged Sevenfold fans.

If you all have seen A7X's music videos, you can see that there are certain elements that make a great Avenged Sevenfold video. First, of course, is the fast car. Second, the hot strippers/dancing girls. Third, booze of course and last but not least, the twisted concept of the video itself. There will always be an element of Avenged Sevenfold that no other bands have.

For example, Bat Country. They turned the dancing girls into snake like creatures, with the rattlesnake tails and forked tongues. Beast and The Harlot, where the dark concept of doing anything to be famous, to be noticed, on how you can change in an instance with the things going on around you. The idea of being corrupted.

Okay moving on.

Back to the concept of the video. It's good overall, yes but firstly, i'm not sure if A7X fans like the idea of having only Matt (i love it how i say his real name like i'm friends with him, haha) be the leading role. I think they should incorporate all the members of Avenged Sevenfold somehow, like Beast and The Harlot, and Afterlife, where each member has their own unique scenes.

Secondly, they're vampires. Okay, i can live with that. But i do however believe that the concept of the song is not about hunting. But yeah, atleast they're creative enough to think about the storyline. Haha, i don't see me coming up with something like that.

P/S: The fangs MShadows usually have on are snake fangs, not vampire fangs. Just saying. *blimey~*

Thirdly, they're not dead. Well they don't seem dead, atleast to me. There are part of the song which goes, "We can see their flesh is rotten" in the first verse and "Bone covered up by suit, as the visible scars, they multiply" in the first after the chorus.

You know what would be cool? If the people in the bar and the dancing girls are actually rotting. Half of the bones and skull are visible.

Wouldn't that be wicked! Maybe to me? Anyone else think the idea of rotting dancing girls are cool? Haha.

Man, i need therapy.

BUT however,

i do LOVE the idea of the band being in coffins. ADORE the idea of having the video clip in a graveyard.

I give the video a two thumbs up!
