Avenged Sevenfold

Plus, look at the other side.
Try having the old avenged sevenfold sound.
With the new vocals.
Would you've prefered that?

I personally don't even see why Waking The Fallen was so good, I was horrified at how Metallica-fied that album was. The only release of theirs that I can listen to is The Sounding Of The Seventh Trumpet and it is amazing, hard to believe it was released on a small punk rock label but I am sure they knew they had potential to push some units. As far as them selling out, I don't think they have sold out as much as the record label is putting a big push on them. The life expectancy of such a band is relatively short and they must make their money while they can, given how hurting the music industry is right now you can look forward to more gimmicky bands.

I don't like them because of the terrible drumming. They use the snare drum more than a Ska band. :/

^lets hear you play drums like that.

and murder junkie....i agree with what you said. except that waking the fallen wasnt a good album. maybe its because it was the first album of theirs that i hear, but i think it was solid. on everything else, including the statements on sounding the seventh trumpet...i agree.

^ I meant that it was not a good album. Everytime I play my Nascar video game I have to listen to that post-Metallica noise, "I'm coming to kill you, won't leave until you diiiiiiiiiiiiiiie". LAME

I would much,much,much rather hear Second Heartbeat

That statement is so stupid that there is no point even commenting on that itself.

I like their stuff. Guitars are pretty sick and I love it.

Well, like many of the other posts said, "Waking the Fallen" is the best so far. "City of Evil" is still awesome. And they party like early metal bands did. I've read many interviews on them, but only seen them live once. I'm seeing them again with coheed in may. My favorite member-the drummer "The Rev" because he's ****ing hardcore. I miss the screaming from Shadow, it kinda downed their live show too. Sounding like a little fan girl *cringe* everyone one of them are ****ing attractive. I mean, they remind me a lot of motley crue. And one of the guitarists look like Nikki Sixx.....so its only natural their one of my favorite bands ever now. They are truely talented. Metal saviors or sellouts? ****ING SAVIORS.

I hate this band, I use to like them, but due to how I feel about members 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?
