Cover art for Bat Country lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

This is COMPLETELY based on Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. "He who makes a beast of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man." "We can't stop here, this is Bat Country." "There he goes [...] Too weird to live, too rare to die." All taken from the book.

My Interpretation

"he who makes a beast out of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man" was a quote by doctor seuss...

I think so too because it makes a lot of references to it in the music video and in the lyrics.
