How does it feel playing your own songs in Guitar Hero Live? We have a really good relationship with them because we understand the importance of trying to get our music out there to fans and they find it through video games. So that’s pretty telling that a lot of young people are hearing new music through video games. We’ve had a lot of success with other Guitar Hero games and fans coming to our shows and bringing controllers to sign instead of real guitars and when we ask our fans “how did you hear about Avenged Sevenfold?” the answer is Need for Speed, Guitar Hero or Call of Duty. Through that we met a lot of people on the other side of Activision and people that run the music stuff and when we heard that they were going to reboot this series, we definitely wanted to be involved. Yeah it did, we have a really good relationship with a lot of the people at Activision and as you know Treyarch is an internal company and we’re close with them.

Shadows, on his role in the upcoming game as well as his thoughts on the current state of the relationship between the video game and record industry. After spending some major hands-on time with the game, we were able to catch up with Avenged Sevenfold lead singer, M. As such, it’s no surprise that Activision is working so closely with the band on the launch of Guitar Hero Live. Instead of straying away from the video game scene, the band shrewdly embraced it, going on to write an original song for the first two Call of Duty: Black Ops games. Anybody gaming in 2005 heard the band’s hit song “Bat Country,” as it was featured in NHL 06, Madden NFL 06, SSX on Tour, Saints Row 2 and Guitar Hero: Warriors of Rock, just to name a few.
