This Is An Atrocity! Avenged Sevenfold Cover Pantera’s Walk

Avenged Sevenfold doing a “Cover” of Pantera’s Walk with some fan that got on stage. Pretty ballsy for someone to get onstage but this song has been covered by more bands that are unworthy in the past and this just adds to that growing list.

iPod Classic 80g | If You’ve Got The Means I Highly Suggest
