TAKE A LEAK: AVENGED SEVENFOLD – “GUNSLINGER” (FROM AVENGED SEVENFOLD)

The folks over at Hasanur Blog have posted a recently leaked track of “Gunslinger” from Avenged Sevenfold’s upcoming self-titled album. Holy… shit. “Gunslinger” is another half-ballad, half-rocker like “Seize the Day” from City of Evil; it’s like somebody put Axl Rose epic vocals on top of Richie Sambora acoustic cowboy chords… and then injected just the right amount of perfectly cheesy pop-metal into it. Call them cheesy if you want, but somehow Avenged Sevenfold always manage to be cheesy in good taste… brie, jarsberg, or gruyere… no cheddar or swiss for these guys.

Avenged Sevenfold drops October 30 on Columbia.
