Avenged Sevenfold is the cheesiest pile of crap since Poison
Good Lord, where do I start? I had the misfortune to witness these hacks open for Coheed and Cambria last night in Milwaukee. Thank God I had a seat in which to sit because I would have hated to give them the pleasure of seeing me standing.
These guys are the second coming of hair metal except without the spandex and aquanet hairspray, but give them some time. I’m just going to list off why they sucked. One: They weren’t even the headliner and they had ramps all over the stage. I was surprised that they didn’t spend half the show jumping off of them. Two: For over 15 years thrash metal legends Overkill have had a mascot called Chaly that is a skull with bat wings.
(above: Overkill’s skull with bat wings.)
Avenged Sevenfold had a big skull behind their drum kit with bat wings that moved and rose up like it was flying. I hope Overkill can sue these douche bags for copyright infringement. Three: The lead singer not only was wearing a Guns ‘n Roses shirt, but every aspect of his stage presence was stolen from Axel Rose right down to the black shades he wore during the entire show. He also called Milwaukee Minnesota at one point. Four: The lead guitarist was the worst. In the middle of the set he came out for a solo. Ugh. When he wasn’t practicing scales he was doing this random-assed, out-of-key doodling. Then he stops and says to the crowd, “I’d like to dedicate the next part of my solo to my hero, Dimebag.” He starts playing something awful again, and then I realize it is the lead from “Walk” just being butchered. You would think if this idiot’s hero really was Dimebag he would have taken the time to learn the part correctly.

So, not only was the shit these guys pulled stupid, their songs sucked too. Nothing but lame breakdown riffs and shitty twin guitar leads. There was not one discernable riff that stood out, or even a catchy vocal chorus. The worst part is that there are teenaged kids out there that call themselves metalheads because they listen to Avenged Sevenfold. Disgusting.

Hilarious! I would only listen to get a even deeper opinion but I have the fear of puking down my shirt!
Keep it up and I now have a new daily addiction.

Hey, your a stupid bitch for every saying anything about these guys, because first of all, i dont think you should be saying anything because you probably cant even play a guitar worth shit and it sounds like you have nothing better to do. Second, a7x has the most talent of any band i have ever seen, expecially their drummer, so go back to sucking your dads dick you puss.

It is you two that suck.
First off, it doesnt matter if this guy can play guitar. He is not in a band that’s touring. He is a fan and fans have right to criticize.
Secondly, after seeing this band live myself I pretty much agree that this band is one of the things wrong with music today. Andy if this is the most talented band you have ever seen, especially their drummer then I would say they are about the only band you’ve ever seen. Want to see a talented drummer? Check out Flo Mournier of Cryptopsy on YouTube. There is nothing that Avenged7x’s drummer that a thousand other metal bands havent been doing for years both creatively or technically. And that goes for the rest of the band as well.

March 10th, 2007 at 10:25 am
lol at the a7x fanboy
go listen to some Testament, Corrosion of Conformity, Sodom, Hell even Slayer would be an improvment for you since you think your little Avenged drummer is so good. Stop watching Much/Mtv.

nobody’s metal anymore.they bang and scream their heads off.then they sit down for interviews with their legs crossed like a little girl and they don’t even trash a hotel room or pull an r.kelly[piss on someone]and that’s mainly mainstream and heavy metal bands
October 18th, 2007 at 3:08 pm
A7x is the best band ever, and you don’t know shit, coheed and cambria suck ass. So go get fucked bitch.

Coty, I would call you a stupid fag, but that would be an insult to homosexuals the worldover. Hopefully you are simply ignorant, in which case it will just be a matter of time before you discover any of the hundreds of bands out there that are far superior to the morons that make up “A7x.”
November 2nd, 2007 at 1:09 pm
ok, ok, ok. Lets set this record straight. #1 You all are probably talking about their first album, which i agree sucked. And give them a break, that was one of their first performances. You’d pri fuck up too. #2 Most bands pick up the pace and get better, which these guys did. And if you dont like Matt’s vocal talent, STOP LISTENING. if you wanna bitch about them this much you must not have anything better to do. Leave the ones who actually like them alone. Fighting on the internet is like being in the special olympics. Even if you win, ur still retarded for ever trying. so please lets stop bad talking. We all have opinions but keep em to urself or else all this gay as internet fighting starts. Morons. Oh and #3 A7X KICKS MAJOR ANAL CAVITY!

#1 Shut the fuck up, Tomash.
#2 Without opinions the internet would be useless.
#3 See number one.

Everyone has their own opinion about what band is better and which ones suck. Each person here is just viewing their obvious distaste for them so let them be. Not everyone has to like a band and fans shouldnt criticise the haters cause that just leads to petty fights so instead just let each person view their opinion without repercusion. I personally only like some of A7X’s songs but im not exactly what you would call a fan. Maybe they will get better, maybe they’ll die out who knows. All in all its just about music, if you hate it voice your opinion and move on to a band you think is better.

Bill,
I’ve been doing some listening, and Avenged Sevenfold has one of the most moving songs I have ever heard - “A Little Piece of Heaven.” Check out the video!

Hey! That asshole isn’t a carpenter so he has no right to say that the defective table he bought sucks. In fact he shouldn’t be able to say anything because he can’t make a table half as good as the person who made his!

Lol and they are still bigger en better then you will ever be.
A7X is a great and awesome band.
September 17th, 2008 at 1:13 pm
FYI “citizen of evil”; A7X gumped a bucket of piss over a stripper so to say they’ve never done an R. Kelly is stupid.
A7X are awesome, have some very talented musicians in there and create the music that comes from their hearts so to say that “they’re all about image” is a completely wrong and shallow view of them. Go actually learn something about the band before you slag them off, and if you think they aren’t “metal” then go and listen to Sounding The Seventh Trumpet or Waking The Fallen :]
November 15th, 2008 at 4:47 pm
so basically a7x is a love’em or hate’em band
i personally think they are a really good band.
