Avenged Sevenfold

TheReverend · 02-25-2010, 10:02 PM

Reading these posts make me smile and frown at the same time. The thing you guys don't realize is that this band has enormous musical talent, and absolutely not a care in the world what more narrow-minded "hardcore" fans think. The driving force behind them isn't what will please the core fans, or what is going to sell the most records, but how can they take their music. They are one of those bands that still truly do what they do because it is their passion. Fortunately, they are blessed with an attitude that protects them from narrow-minded ex-fans.

you're right dude, the driving force behind them isn't what will sell the most records for sure. it's what will sell the most beer cozies, bottle openers, and shot glasses, wallets, school supplies, watches, candles, and practically anything else they can print their name on.

Good job shooting a hole in my argument that they argument that they love music by saying they sell junk. Because thats what bands are really all about right? What they can sell on the side. Yep good thing you didnt miss the point at all. Slick move CAPTAIN CAVEMAN.

All bands do what they do because they "love music". Otherwise they would be garbage truck drivers or fingerpainters or something. The problem isn't that they love what they do, the problem is that what they do is derivative and painfully bad. Sorry to speak ill of the dead band but anybody who comes up with ridiculous stage names UNIRONICALLY is completely full of ****.

I want to punch this douchebag in the face. Don't you?

You're in the same boat as CAPTAIN CAVEMAN. I wont bother retyping my last post just for you. As for the name thing, nearly all of the hip-hop genre have stage names and Hollywood Undead wears theirs well.

Also something tells me that you punching Zacky would end up with Zacky ripping you a new *******.

I remember when this band first got popular in like 2003. Those were good times

Waking the Fallen ain't bad. Haven't listened to anything since.

Avenged Sevenfold was the gateway to alot of the more technical new age scream pronounced image in bands in this century of music. They are a band that will not be forgotten. LEGEND

I really enjoy their music, at first I didn't really like it though.

Go play Madden06 and listen to Bat Country about 100 times on there and tell me that after it annoys the hell out of you, it kinda grows on you, then it ends up being one of your favorite songs.

Or is that just me?
