Sorry but i reall y dont like avenged sevenfold at all!
I find them too be terribly overated and full of themselfs and just generally poor!

A few of my mates really like them and try too get me into them but every time i hear them i just dont like their sound at all!

this has prolly been said many times on this thread already but their new cd is nowhere near as good as Waking the Fallen. I've only heard of darkness surrounding from their debut sounding of the seventh trumpet but waking the fallen is definatly superior to city of evil or watever their new ones called. it's cause the guy can't scream anymore! and i mean c'mon, waking the fallen can almost be called a classic.

Actually, rock in general was falling apart. At least in Detroit and the suburbs(ya know, a pretty big music town) they introduced many people into rock again through local rock stations. And as for being metal saviors, most of metal to me is about being badass. For the most part, nobody can say metal is the most musical. Its about going out there, screaming your ****ing lungs out(in Shadow's case, now he cant really scream ) and just having a effing good time. Avenged Sevenfold embodies that and brought it back to a new generation.

I have a problem with a lot of metal, i dont think metal needs saving, i think rock needs saving from metal.

I like a good deal of metal, and theres a lot more that i cant stand whatsoever.

I can appreciate the genre and all the great things about it, but most of it is just not my thing, and metalheads everywhere make it their top priority to shove their musical tastes down everyones throats.

Plus they are pretty closedminded, most of the metalheads i know listen to absolutely nothing but metal and classical music... They're not even willing to try anything else, and yet they like to call themselves music purists or experts because they can play a few Zakk Wylde licks on their guitar, which suddenly makes them better than everyone else.

To say metal isn't a musical genre is a very narrow-minded statement. It's basically denying the existence of bands such as Dillinger Escape Plan, Between the Buried and Me, Embrace the End, Darkest Hour, etc. I'll give boo_boo the support when he says a lot of metal bands (and metal fans) just suck. It's mostly due to the whole purist ideals and their inability to adapt and experiment within the genre. Avenged Sevenfold is not a good band, or a great band, or an amazing band. They are generic, and on the weaker end of the spectrum if I must say so myself.

Hey there Danny Boy. In America, we have this little thing called The Bill of Rights. Basically it means I can say whatever I want, and carry around a gun while doing it. I'm not insulting people, I'm presenting a conflicting opinion. It's not meant to be offensive, but rather do what the forums were intended for: to discuss music.

Metal fans can also be very closed minded to certain genres of music, especially punk, alternative rock, electronica, hip hop, etc.
