Avenged Sevenfold

MURDER JUNKIE · 04-13-2006, 09:53 AM

Let's get the record straight, Avenged Sevenfold both begins and ends with The Sounding Of The Seventh Trumpet. Amazing album and it seriously changed my view of metal, however everything after that made me sick.

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.

Metal not musical? Wow, i've always thought of metal as one of the most musical rock sub-genres. Screaming your guts out and having a good time is more of punk/hardcore thing IMO and rock isn't falling apart at all, I live near seattle and I could name a bunch of artists from that area alone that are good. Avenged Sevenfold aren't even that good, and they're more talk then action.

Yeah, I have a few metalhead friends and they give me crap because I'd rather listen to the Dead Kennedys than Dream Theater. But it's all good, they'll not get to hear new sounds due to their own closed minds.

Yes but if you gave him an accoustic and told him to do that he would do horrible. Also his solo is the same pattern in different areas, that's how he gives you the illusion that he is crazy good.

F*UCK YOU A$$HOLE. Holy **** everyone here's such a tool. ever heard of sum1 having their own opinions? Maybe if u weren't so ignorant you'd stop bashing ppl for not having the same music tastes as you. And f*ck you about "presenting a conflicting opinion." If you wanted to do that you'd say something like, "I disagree what you just said because . . . " not "you're an idiot for thinking that because i'm an ******* arrogant prick!"
And i'm not just in a bad mood, stuff like that has happened to me a couple times so far. Here's another example: in the forum Rock & Metal under the thread best industrial band ever I found this:

I just found this funny. You are preaching to people because they bitch you out for saying your opinion is stupid and you are calling people tools. But you are going back and doing the same thing. Now if you are only going to say shit like that you are an idiot. Contribute or go here: www.mansonusa.com they'd gladly take you in if you grew up.

Some just play better on electric than accoustic, or vice versa.

And pentatonics are a commonly used scale because they just sound really good... Its not because people who use it lack talent, pentatonics just give them more room to experiement and compose and construct a good melody.

I cant remember what kinds of scales he uses though, i need to check out some of their tabs again.

"Ever heard of having opinions?" Which is why you get pist off when people think differently then you?

If I'm so ignorant, how come I know how to capitalize I's, spell out words, and bypass the shitty swear filter?
