I love hearing the stories behind songs and videos and band names… Fuse has this show called The Chronicles, where you can get the story behind the video as they trace an artist’s career via their videos. Tonight, the focus is on Avenged Sevenfold.

In the next few months, Fuse will chronicle: Slipknot, Papa Roach, Thirty Seconds To Mars, Three Days Grace, Foo Fighters, Linkin Park… For a complete listing, click me.
