AVENGED SEVENFOLD contributed a cover version of PANTERA's "Walk" to a special CD accompanying Kerrang!'s 25th anniversary issue. Entitled "High Voltage", the 15-track disc — which hit the newsstands in the U.K. in May 2006 — was made up of classic rock and metal songs covered by contemporary bands, with 10 of the tracks recorded exclusively for the CD.

When asked about his band's version of "Walk", AVENGED SEVENFOLD singer M. Shadows told Blender.com in a 2006 interview, "Kerrang! magazine came to us and they asked if we wanted to cover one of our favorite bands' classic songs. [And we went], 'Well, we know 'Walk'. Can we do that?' So we had Terry Date [PANTERA producer] record it for us and Vinnie Paul [PANTERA drummer] give us his blessings on it, so we went and did it. And from then on, we kind of like… you know, playing festivals in Europe with METALLICA and stuff, it kind of brings back… Dime, to us, was one of the greatest guitar players ever to live, and to us, it's like a tribute to him. It kind of lets his spirit live on at Ozzfest. PANTERA was, for a few years, tearing it up at Ozzfest, you know, and now they're not a band anymore, and I think… To us, it's a song we can play, we know we do it well, and we're just going out there and letting the spirit live on a little bit." -blabbermouth.net
