The band during recording sessions for the song
Status: Partially Found
Big Bear is a partially found demo from American heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. The demo is for the band's song A Little Piece of Heaven, released on their self-titled album in 2007.[1]
History
The song was envisioned by their former drummer, James "The Rev" Sullivan, in a dream while staying in a cabin called Big Bear with the rest of the band.[1] The demo consisted of The Rev playing piano, drums, and singing. The song ended up taking on a larger persona, with lead singer, M Shadows, later saying "No one really wanted to work on it, because it was a big ordeal to work on. Even at one point, Jimmy said "We shouldn’t even record Big Bear (the song’s Working Title); I don’t even wanna record it." When we went to record for real, I was like "Dude… We got to record Big Bear, dude; if not for any other reason but I wanna listen to it.""[2]
Breakdown Episode
For a special Halloween edition of their behind the scenes series Breakdown, the band deiced to do an in-depth breakdown of the song A Little Piece of Heaven. During the episode, clear snippets of the demo Big Bear are played to show how to song evolved. While the demo is included, only a short amount is played clearly before being delegated to being background music for a portion of the episode. This shows that the band does in fact still have the Big Bear demo.
Release
A proper release of the demo is unknown. The band, for their second album Waking the Fallen, released a special deluxe edition for the album's 10th anniversary containing never before heard demos and rarities.[3]Fans can only hope for a similar reissue for the band's self-titled album.
