I looked at iTunes and the Deluxe Edition reached #1 on the iTunes Rock Album chart and top 10 in the overall chart. Very interesting, considering it's available for pre-order

^ Anyone else reminded of 'N Sync's corny-ass video for "I Drive Myself Crazy"?

Haha. Really, who can be suprised that he got banned? Disassociative probably reported him for harassment. Nice video btw.

Haha. Really, who can be suprised that he got banned? I'm surprised, because it didn't seem like he did anything. Was he actually banned, though or did he delete himself? Cool video. Nice touch that they chose not to film Portnoy for any performance shots and just had The Rev's drums set up in one of the hospital rooms at the very end. I thought the brief opening Rev tattoo shot was a nice touch. Didn't look like it was on a hand, though, which is weird because Shadows was the one being strapped down to the gurney and his hand tattoo was visible a little later.

I doubt he deleted it himself, as he briefly posted as a guest. His account, presumably, got deactivated shortly after. And really? You're not suprised? I thought the whole thing with the Mainstream Rock chart and Disassociative was just ridiculous.

Nobody reported him and he wasn't banned. The staff doesn't delete people's accounts when they're banned.

My radio station played "So Far Away" yesterday and "Welcome to the Family" this afternoon. :o If the songs I've heard are any indication, it doesn't appear like I'll be disappointed with the album next week. :)

M. Shadows & Synyster Gates apparently released a statement about the album somewhere, which my local DJ read before premiering "Welcome to the Family."
"It's dedicated to the Rev's memory and, although it's not exactly a concept album, it does center around the Rev. The eeriest thing about it is there is a song on the album called "Fiction," a nickname the Rev game himself, which started out with the title "Death," and it was the last song the Rev wrote for the album. When he handed it in, he said, "That's it. That's the last song for the record." And then three days later, he died."
(It appears these leaked songs originally came from KROQ, so with any luck, my station will play "God Hates Us" tomorrow.)

it's the #1 album on iTunes. One word to describe it: unprecedented I can't agree with that, but I will say it's definitely a positive step up from the mediocre self-titled release, in that they sound like they've reclaimed some of their hunger and focus they lost during the previous era, which I feel was marred by inconsistent quality and overproduction. It's definitely a step in the right direction, but hardly original and certainly not unprecedented in my view. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

looks like Eminem's run at the top of the Billboard 200 could be over.

I thought Rick Ross edged Eminem out by a razor-thin margin this week? Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus oh yea. But Ross' won't stay long at the top He'll probably slide 60-65% in the second week of release, due to the lack of a considerable hit single. That said, Avenged Sevenfold have no chance at surmounting Eminem for the #1 spot. Eminem only slid an astonishing 3% from last week in sales, and with "Love The Way You Lie" as enormous as it is on the airwaves, I expect his numbers to stabilize through the summer. Add to that the fact that Avenged Sevenfold's self-titled predecessor fell short of a six-digit sales debut week (93,000). If anything, they'll probably only sell roughly a third of what Eminem sells this week. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus
