AVENGED SEVENFOLD. What do you guys think about this band?

(their complete new album)
Like to know some opinions about this band. I am very much into traditional heavy metal but i must admite i find a lot of good songs in albums like CITY OF EVIL, NIGHTMARE and their last album HAIL TO THE KING. A lot of MAIDEN riffs and traditional metal. They have a more modern look but they play traditional metal, at least on the 3 albums i named. I put a link to their new album. It has a lot of METALLICA black album influences. LET ME KNOW YOUR OPINION but please, first listen to them, dont only look at them.

Oh, man. Have we got a thread for you.

  Beat me to it!

That second sentence in the corp's post is a link BTW Krokus.

Ohhh shi.t, i didnt see that link. Thanks guyssssss.

Anything and everything you'd want to know about this board's opinion of A7X.

And then some...

   I totally forgot about Ken's obsession with the Search function.  He's toned that down a lot recently.

I remember when I first joined this forum and Eyesore "scolded" me several times about doing that. I thought, "who the hell is this guy, the Search Police?"

Ahhhh, Scanners

Yeah, best scene in the movie.

Good band, not great.. I rly like a lot of songs and rly dislike a lot of songs LOL!!! Sums up how I feel about a lot of bands hahaha...

I dont like seeing bands being bashed for lack of originality as most music if not all nowadays is very unoriginal. That's why I tend to side with these guys on their new album. If you say before going into the studio that you want to make a record that sounds like traditional and classic metal and then ppl bash you for it? Makes no sense to me. Sure some songs sound like they belong on other bands albums but WFC!!

AND another candidate for a Ken beatdown for responding to dup thread with similar comments to the other thread!

They sound ok until the singer opens his mouth.

To be fair to Krokus, the other thread has A7X in the title rather than Avenged Sevenfold, so in this case a search wouldn't have picked it up.

That's how I feel about them

I've liked these guys since City of Evil, not a mega-fan or anything, but I do enjoy their tunes. I don't understand all the hate  .

Thanks:headbanger: 

I think they are talented but ultimately end up boring me.

I don't mind 'em. They've got some good songs and a bunch of garbage. However, if they get young kids in to more traditional metal, why would I complain? Also, the lack of originality complaint is a joke when you consider some of the rehashed crap that we all love.

I dont care if bands are not original if they write good songs. A lot of riffs on the new A7X album we know them from other bands but i still thing that the singer give a special touch to their music. Without him the band would not be the same.
