Song Choice Conflicts B: This Means War - Avenged Sevenfold (Anthony's Choice)

I would like to go with the song, 'This Means War' by Avenged Sevenfold. It is from their new album, 'Hail to the King'. This album is heavily riff based as demonstrated by the awesome riff in this song.

The song is about how there is nothing left in his life and how he has turned to drinking. He talks about how no one will care when he's gone. This song has very obvious dark themes which is well suited to the genre of the band. (heavy metal/hard rock).



Narrative/Performance
The video would have brief narrative before the music starts playing, it would open up with a medium shot of the lead guitarist of the band standing at a counter having a drink. He would turn to his friend saying, 'When are we getting the band together' It would then cut to the opening guitar riff being played by him on stage in front of an almost empty crowd. More performance parts would be for the solo and riff being played on top of a hill. For the narrative it would be the guitarist, going through the mundane events of every day life being fed up until at the end it cuts back to them performing in front of a full crowd to show they've made it.
