Avenged Sevenfold

yeah I would just classify them as rock **** all the genre nitpicking about metal core....they first two albums were a bit harder than their third one which was more commercial and appeasing the ears of the average radio listener. They just kept that formula because it seems to work for them that's why the fourth is pretty much in the same vein.

They can have different aspects and traits from different genres, and not be classified as 'metal'.
Creativity is a great thing, mixing elements fun, try not to be so straightforward in your judgement of music.
Open minds leave room for growth and understanding.

Exactly! Yet another illustration of how useless genre labelling can be!

Second, The drummer is a GOOD drummer. They are so hard to come by with this stupid society being how it is with pussy drummers lining up to be in their own little bands.
Third, Synyster is the lead singer, is quite interesting to listen to, even if it doesn't suit your ear.
I can't honestly say I like Parkway drive, yet it's one of your favorite bands.
It's a matter of opinion and personality.
And my opinion is that this band has talent and likability, even if it's only with 50% of the listeners.

no he's not, it's M. Shadows. although the other guys in the band sing too

the rest i agree with for the most part

it's sad when somebody doesn't know anything about the band, but claims they are great!

Whats worse is when people dont know anything about a band and claim it sucks.

You don't need to know anything about a band to like a song.

I happen to have liked Hawkwind for about 10 years, I have no idea who sings most of their songs seeing as they let whoever wants to do the vocals do them and they've had about 100 band members.
