Avenged Sevenfold are true metal fans dont get me wrong, those guys are decent fellows but that doesn't mean that they don't ****ing suck. Their first albums were in the metalcore genre and if you listen to it you can clearly hear how ****ing terrible it is. But then they moved on to a more commercial and accessible sound. Their sound of the bands most well known songs like Seize the day, Beast and the Harlot, Bat Country and MIA you could describe as Alternative Rock, Pop, and maybe even hard rock. Despite being influenced by legendary hard rock and metal bands Guns N' Roses and Metallica Avenged Sevenfold's sound is so mediocre and average. They also have a cartoon character vibe about them with their ridiculous names like M. Shadows, Synester Gates and Zacky Vengeance. Their ballad Seize the day was an alternative pop rock track that sounded like it could've been written and performed by Pink. The video was a ridiculous attempt at redoing November Rain. Avenged Sevenfold are a very overrated band in the Metal community. They seem to have such critical acclaim and respect as a metal band even though they've tried so hard their whole careers to be a pop rock band and be mainstream which has never worked. Any album they have done or will do in the future is not even worth checking out. It's below average canned crap.

While I don't like the band, I'll say a few things in their defense. It's cool that they skipped the Grammy show. The Grammy's suck. They're very good at playing their instruments, at least, but I've always thought the singer was a bit boring. At least the lead single off their latest album was pretty good. They might become a good band eventually if they keep improving.

I don't care that they have cartoony names, btw. It's metal... Doesn't just about every black metal act consist of a bunch of LOTR nerds with silly names for example? Metal is cartoony in all sorts of ways, more often than not.

It's just badly organized drop d riffs with barely any decent song structure. They aren't even a metal band and I checked on google they're considered one of the best Metal bands of all time. If anything they are Alternative rock and maybe Hard Rock because they have distorted guitars. Another thing is the fact that the band similar to Slipknot seem to be embarrassed to show themselves in music videos or pictures. I don't think they even appear in any music videos. Their music video for Sober is talked about and shown allot on music video tv shows. The only thing I like about Tool is that they seem like down to earth nice guys. I've seen an interview between Lars Ulrich and Maynard James Keenan for the show beats 1 where Maynard really comes off as a really intelligent and articulate man, if only his music were actually good. Just to prove that Maynard sucks musically just listen to his terrible side projects A Perfect Circle and Puscifer. It's downright terrible crap.

I think Tool are allright, but terribly overrated. The first A Perfect Circle album, Mer De Noms, is pretty good imo

Nothing to say in Pearl Jam's defense. They suck.

Ooh I have an idea! Let's make a thread where we make fun of both and fight about which is better? I'm sure it's not a foregone conclusion at all.

Except the only person in here who likes NW a little tiny bit (me), wouldn't even bother defending them much and the entire genre of hip hop is obviously worth more than one corny Disney Metal band.

Seriously, someone who likes ****ing Nightwish should thread really carefully. I really hope she's 12 (and possibly somehow writes from the year 2003) and just doesn't know better.

Everything they did with Tarja was terrible, but I can find a handful songs on each on their 3 newest albums that are allright. There's a bunch of stinkers on each of those albums as well. What really baffles me is why everyone loved Tarja so much. She's such a bad singer that can't even pull off the pseudo-operatic schtick she's going for.

I just like their more power metal styled tracks with the post-Tarja singers.

You know who likes Nightwish? Ki.
Case closed.

Nightwish they'd go away. Troy do we have to suffer such a Marco poor quality songwriting? Endless Forms Most Boring.
