Releasing the cover onto their YouTube channel on October 1, the trio – made up of guitarist Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer Brooks Wackerman – pay tribute to the punk legends by incorporating corpse paint on their faces inspired by MISFITS' mascot The Crimson Ghost, and a MISFITS flag hung up behind them during the performance.

 

Weirdly, in this video, Avenged Sevenfold don't actually sound anything like well, AVENGED SEVENFOLD. Binning their theatrical riffs and intricate guitar work, the band – minus frontman M. Shadows and guitarist Synyster Gates – go for more of a stripped-back approach, leaning more closely to the style of the original track, rather than their own trademark sound.
