Is Avenged Sevenfold trend-hopping?

I honestly have no opinion either way...

Don't know, don't care. I wouldn't know an Avenged Sevenfold song if it ran up to me in the street and bit me on the left butt cheek.

That's exactly why I'm not voting lol.

It's hard to say that they are trend hopping as I'm unaware of any trend for ripping off Metallica, G&R or Dio that's going on right now. It's more like genre hopping or genre hoping (ie hoping that the 80's metal revival starts with them  )

They are a bit shite though!

Who even listens to that band here?

There is one voice in the forest screaming at the top of his lungs about the brilliance of this band while the rest of us try our best to ignore him.  

That same fool thinks Scott Stapp is a brilliant songwriter

same here.

I like A7X and I don't care whether they're trend-hopping or not.  But I'm not voting because I think this is a stupid poll. 

Congrats Shay, I think that you have come up with the first poll in history that absolutely no-one wants to vote in. Not even you, and it's your poll!!

And this

Lawl to all of this. I will say Rob's a good guy; hell he's the reason I started listening to Pagan's Mind. And he's got a cool kid. But there's something about his stubborn ways that I respect; maybe because he never loses his composure whenever we vehemently disagree with him.

This thread is like a metalrob worship group...You guys are so special, literally...

It's just my opinion, they're allowed to disagree it makes it a lot more fun

You're a good man, Rob.  

Shhhh, don't tell anyone it tarnishes my reputation lol.. I've learned a lot about respect when I trained in MMA for 6 years. Nothing serious gentleman, just to stay fit and keep me motivated. The people on HoM are by far the best bunch of guys/gals I've ever been around on any forum. I've always loved to converse and if ppl don't agree it's cool. This whole subject has been fun Bcuz I know I'm one of a few that believe they aren't trendy.

I also have a lot of respect for music in general, it's my Passion. If I believe in something damn right imma stand behind it. A7X are not a bans I love, but I've heard enough of their music to come up with my opinion. That doesn't make me a Fanboy, it makes me, me.

Music is heard differently by all of us and I obviously hear things differently here. There is no right or wrong when it comes to opinion. Unless of course the opinion is about me being a douche hahahah

Went to youtube to listen to A7X albums, parts of them. And I honestly don't see much trend hopping, as they are (were) pretty consistent, slowly mellowing and approaching rock territory, slowly mind you; this is my first glimpse. Sorry, I simply do not hear that

Who cares about thread hopping? Creatures Of The Night by Kiss and Thunder and Lightning by Thin Lizzy were both clear attempts to jump on the heavy metal bandwagon and they both rocked.
