In the latest chapter of their new 'Breakdown' series, Avenged Sevenfold tackle brilliant 2007 track Almost Easy.

During the clip, the band's two guitarists, Zacky Vengeance and Synyster Gates, explain that Almost Easy – taken from their 2007 self-titled record – was their "guinea pig" song for producing the album themselves.

"We were 24 years old or something," remembers Zacky. "Who would have ever let us do that? If I remember correctly, Transformers reached out to us to put it in the movie [Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen]. We were all excited, so we hustled up to record the song first."
