I hate this band, I use to like them, but due to how I feel about merabers of the band i've started to like their music less. I don't like pre-city of evil its just boring hardcore. I don't see anything special about it.
Metal saviors? Metal didn't need saving, and I doubt avenged sevenfold would be the ones doing it if it did.
City Of Evil is a boring album, that I don't like the solos don't impress me and the vocals are annoying. And yes, I know he just had vocal surgery I don't care they adapted well yes, but his vocals are annoying. Bat Country is an annoying song, I don't like it, its whiny as hell. "No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention", then why are you singing about your drug addiction if you don't like attention? I dislike how much time they spend playing up their bad boy image.
They're very self absorbed egocentric people. They had an interview awhile back where they made a bunch of anti-gay and homophobic comments. Then they have girl on girl action in the beast and the harlot video. Hypocritcal as hell, and I don't care if it was some deep artistic metaphor they were pulling if you'r against homosexuality don't promote in your video. They spend too much time playing up their badboy image, I don't care how much you party or that you got kicked out of a catholic school. Its totally hardcore to brag about your drug addictions, be homophobes and spend your time talking about bad ass you are right?
