Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I’m a huge Avenged Sevenfold fan!
They have just the right mix of heavy-metal and melodic music. The way they put it together, really makes my heart sing.
I would try City of Evil for a start! But my all-time favorite is Waking the Fallen - but it’s definitely an acquired taste. Some other songs are very prophetic, although they’re not a Christian band.
There are a lot of other reasons why this is my favorite band. Their drummer, and my husband died the same year 2009. The Following album “Nightmare” 2010 was very cathartic for me. Many of the songs dealt with grief. I had a mental break down when my husband of 30 - died unexpectedly, A7X and their music really helped me to heal. They have a new album out, and I’m really gonna have to go check it out.
I was fortunate enough to see Avenged Sevenfold - System of a Down - Disturbed - all at one concert in Arizona before my husband died. We went together as a family. Good times.
