More like what I don't dislike about a7x. I guess I just find their music uncreative and derivative, on top of the fact that they seem very overly concerned about their image and appearance in a way I find distasteful. Also the way they treat themselves as this epic band without having established their influences and bonafides. I just think they take themselves too seriously considering their level of musicianship and creativity.

well, i have disagree about them only being concerned about image. they have a good image, IMO, but the skill is also there. and they have stated a few influences as being Pantera (whom i dislike) and Guns N Roses (whom i love).

They have a ridiculous image that only appeals to a particularly tasteless demographic - and whether they have skill or not (The Rev played decent drums), their music is arguably pretty unoriginal. There was nothing cutting edge or genre-defining about their music. Pantera makes GnR look like Girl School.

I appreciate you trying to actually have a dialogue with me about this, and I realize how hypocritical it is for me to say it, but there's really no point in discussing this since you and I will never convince each other that a7x has decent or terrible music. I'm just sharing my opinion on how awful I think they are, and each response by people like TheReverend just drives home exactly why. |

well i try my best to be open minded, but you're right, we probably aren't going to convince each other of our opinions. i just can't get into Pantera. and you're right, i mostly respect dimebag because of his death, i will be honest. i just feel it's wrong to bag on someone after they pass. but the rev was my all time favorite drummer before his passing, now i guess it's just solidified.

well to be honest i'm a lover of pop and pop punk music. i like some metal, not a lot of heavier stuff though. i'd say the heaviest i get would be The Devil Wears Prada, which i know a lot of people wouldn't consider too heavy at all, lol
