Avenged Sevenfold

i walked into my little brother's room while he was listening to music. i didnt know who it was, but i thought it was some of the most horrible rock iv ever heard. i listen to it for a sec b4 i ask him what is is and he told me. man this band is sooo bad. they repeat the same awwwwful lyrics over and over. how the hell are they popular? if you like this band u cant possibly b someone who knows music. your only source of music is pop music radio stations. open your horrizons people. you dont have to listen to this garbage
 
"In the band's debut album, Sounding the Seventh Trumpet, M. Shadows' vocals had a heavy metalcore influence and consisted mostly of screaming and guttural growls. This style gradually decreased in later albums into more conventional clean singing and had been almost completely jettisoned (with the exception of backing introduction screams) by the release of City of Evil, the band's major label debut. Despite having admitted minor throat surgery this was not a cause for the change and in an interview on All Excess, manager Larry Jacobson states that Shadows had decided several years before the making of City of Evil that it would be an all singing album."

ok well i was partially right on this one
 
Eh no AVX are a diabolical insult to metal. As for Megadeth they are still going as strong as they were 20 years ago, just listen to their last album United Abominations. Maybe AVX are influenced by them to some degree but comparing the two of them is just silly.
If you're going to get into Megadeth get Peace Sells... But Who's Buying and Rust in Peace.
 
i love A7X. end of story. own all their albums. hope to see them live eventually so if your going to talk **** about them just leave because your not wanted. or if you say you dont like them at least back up why darkest.
 
Yeah, I have a few metalhead frienRAB and they give me crap because I'd rather listen to the Dead Kennedys than Dream Theater. But it's all good, they'll not get to hear new sounRAB due to their own closed minRAB.
 
I love to listen to them when Im in the right mood... And yes, their stage names are really annoying. They just remind me of primary school and how we used to make up fun names for ourselves...
 
They are metalcore. What else would they be?

parkway takes some listening to get to like them i think. They are more hardcore and don't sound like a typical metalcore band. What other metalcore do you listen to?
 
If you took the time to spell I might take the time to take you seriously.

I haven't really heard much of their old stuff but I like the new stuff and I'm very excited to hear their next album with Mike Portnoy. Afterlife and Bat Country are brilliant songs.
 
Yea, they are annoying, but once you accept that the vocal delivery is gonna suck, you may grow to like them. I personally never thought his voice was great anyway.
 
i will agree with you that their new cd is not the best, and that shadows vocals arent the easiest to adapt to but they have a couple good songs off DiamonRAB In The Rough, such as Dancing Dead and Demons. Those songs are probably their best off the album, just because that album isnt as good as Sounding The Seventh Trumpet doesn't mean they don't know how to make music. and i wouldnt say your ears bleed from M Shadows voice they are just hard to get used to depending on what album you first start listening to.
 
disregard anything he has to say about A7X, he clearly doesn't like them as much as you so everything he says about them is going to be negative. They do tend to have some awesome solos.
 
their old stuff is definitely better. city of evil has its good qualities, but the old stuff was, in my opinion, much more powerful. ive seen them live twice, they put on a great show.

i can guarantee the rest of the forum is gonna come into this thread trying to tell us how they sold out, but honestly, most of those people have no idea what the worRAB "sold out" mean. avenged has way more talent than they are given credit for, and it pisses me off how people say they hate them only because of city of evil, and their change in style. they did an absolutely amazing job adapting after shadows blew out his voice, and that just makes them that much better.

(im going to get flamed for this....i can smell it)
 
i will when you look up hardcore, and instead of seeing Youth of Today and ****in Cro Mags, you see mall metal extrodinaires Avenged Sevenfold.



by the way, why does your signature say down with emo long live punk rock when you dont listen to either?
 
City of evil is alright, Sidewinder and Trashed and scattered are great songs, but as for waking the fallen...amazing
