Avenged Sevenfold’s “Shepherd of Fire” Video: M. Shadows’ Transformation Into Axl Rose is Nearly Complete!!!

M. SHADOWS’ TRANSFORMATION IS NEARLY COMPLETE!!! In Avenged Sevenfold’s new video for “Enter Sandman” “Shepherd of Fire,” the vocalist’s Axl Roseisms are more prominent than ever. It’s all in the way he holds, or sometimes does not hold, his mic stand. I honestly don’t know if it’s conscious or not, but his body language is so Axl-esque that he’s basically one pair of spandex American Flag print bike shorts and an inability to set an alarm clock away from being Axl Rose.

“Shepherd of Fire” comes off of Avenged Sevenfold’s latest, Hail to the King, which is out now.
