Cover art for Hail to the King lyrics by Avenged Sevenfold

Y'all may have your own ideas about this song, but I believe this part of the album was definitely meant to pay homage to bands that paved the way for A7X. If you watched the music video, Shadows was wearing a bandana the same way axel rose would, which makes sense because GNR was Shadows' inspiration to form a band.
