Actually, it is not uncommon for bands to release a self-titled album further along in their career. Metallica's was their fifth for example. I don't think it is laziness or lack of inspiration so much as waiting for the right time to release an album that truly captures what the band feels they should sound like. Laziness is naming your new album "Untitled", self-titling is more of a statement.

If you guys dont like avenged sevenfold dont listen to them and keep your comments to yourself so the people who do like them dont have to sit and read the bullsh** like this everyday...emo..punk..metal...rock..rap...pop...blah blah blha...music is music people...you can listen to it..or you can simply turn the station!

the problem with that logic buddy is that this is a website called METAL underground. see that keyword there, METAL. thats why we get p***ed off when somebody posts news on sh**ty mallcore hot topic bands. so while were on a website that is supposedly still dedicated to METAL, we WILL voice our opinions. so SHUT THE f*** UP

If you want to write about metal, originally metal existed in the 80's with bands like The Scorpions, Nitro, Metallica, and Guns n' Roses. Metal has evolved in different directions, like all music, and one of the directions it went was to bands that still sing and play intricate guitar parts. I love Children of Bodom and Trivium as much as anybody, but my all-time favorite album is City of Evil. Attacking a band for singing instead of screaming doesn't make sense, especially when they still scream sometimes. Avenged Sevenfold is one of the most talented groups of musicians I have heard in a long time, and they are completely individual. Calling them a "sh**ty mallcore" band because they don't sound like a cloned copy of another screaming metal band is simply a demonstration of ignorance.

Hey kid, Trivium and A7X suck it, straight up they do. Don't think ur metal cuz u like this sh**, City Of Evil sux, they are not one of the most talented bands out there and having talent doesn't nesessarly make a band good, thats a stupid argument. Oh and they're not exactly individual either, it's hard to find emo bands that are. They're a discrace to metal, their fans are a discrace to metal, they are nothing more than a bunch of OC c***s with too much makeup and nailpolish. f*** THEM!!!!

a7x broke away from the labels because they wanted to make their own sound. labels tend to only allow bands with certain "sound" or try to change em, only some do depending on the band, a7x just wanted to do wat they felt was truly themselves and not what the era of music wants or the label wants. and if u dont like a7x just say i dont like them you dont gotta trash other people jus cuz they got a diferent opinion. btw i might be a little wrong with some of this info so correct me if u want

have any of you 'metal' fans actually heard sounding the seventh trumpet or waking the fallen? i followed avenged for a long time, and i have to agree as much as i love it, if youre a metal fan and you hear city of evil youre bound not to like it. and FYI avenged dont call themselves metal and didnt ask to be on this website and are big fans of metal themselves just like all of you. find me one 'emo' band that sounds like them and i will never post on this website again.

I'm not an Avenged Sevenfold basher, I enjoy listening to them from time to time. However, if you think Synyster Gates (which is a stupid name, by the way) can shred it up you've got another thing coming. He is a decent guitar player, but if you think his solos are awesome you really haven't been exposed to enough music.
16. writes:
They dont make music for themselves, they pretty much sold out after waking the fallen and started dressing like fags and wearing makeup and sh**. Im not gonna bash their actual music cause theyre a decent band with some talent but they definitley sold out. They changed theyre sound and image to atract emo and punk fans as well as some metal fans that they already had before city of evil.

iIm not mad they "sold out" cause I never liked this band from the beginning. But problems start with this band when the fans praise them when they shouldnt be. They are descent, if I had to compare them to other emo sh**, theyd be better. but I do not like this band at all. I hate there egos and the egos of there fans. If you a7x fans would stop calling them Metal, saying listen to this they were Metal, or call that gay guitarist the most amazing guitar player in awhile, then your asking for a7x to be bashed. I'm not saying don't say good things about the band, just tone it down, especailly if your praising a nonmetal band on a Metal site.
18. writes:
All you douchebags who say that Avenged sold out, watch All Excess, you'll see they were planning on changing their sound before they were even signed to Warner Bros. I'm not gonna say that they are a metal band because I don't think they are. But, their old stuff was way more punk and that was the biggest make up stage for them, they are more normal now. Plus, the stuff now is more metal than their old stuff. But, they are not f**king emo, at all. Their songs are stories, they don't sing "like omg my life sucks, cut my wrist." instead they write intricate METAL lyrical content that is relevant to today's society. so all you haters, f**k off. and I will cede that they are hard rock, not metal, at least when it comes to their actual music. but, nonetheless, they are original. and any band that can make it on the radio has some sort of talent.
20. writes:
I don't understand how people can listen to A7X in general any more. I don't even mind them musically but their singer sounds like his nose has a big peep stuck in it, it makes me cringe when I hear it. It has nothing to do with thinking they should have stayed with screaming, there are many good bands with sung vocals but A7X's singer can't do it.
21. writes:
Okay, to everyone bashing A7X-
1) Why did you read this to begin with if you think they suck and you don't care about them?
2) Why would the people who own this site, a metal site, put (by your opinion) a "non-metal" band in the news?
3) In the All Excess DVD, before they started producing with Mudrock, they wanted to make a half-singing/half-screaming album (Waking the Fallen) and then, after that, a fully singing album (City of Evil). They never "sold out," they chose to do this even before they had made their second album, and CoE was their third.
4) Back the non-metal part: There are many kinds of metal. Some may consider the hardcore/screamo style of Trivium as the true metal. Some may consider G'n'R as true metal. Some may consider A7X as true metal. Musical genre is in the eye of the beholder. They're music isn't "emo," they don't sing about how their life is terrible and how they wish they were someone else and how they are so unhappy all the time. Honestly, I've never heard one of their songs that's like that. So get your facts straight.
5) If you don't think Synyster has any talent and sucks at playing, then post a link on YouTube of you playing one of his solos (not one of his solos in a song, one of his true solos) without practicing days on end better than he can. Then you can bash him.

In Response:
1) Personnaly, "I" go onto A7x threads because they make me laugh. As for everyone else, It's probably because they hate them as much as i do, and are trying to extend salvation to fans of this band.
2) If you notice, My Chemical Romance and Evanescence appear on this sight as well. It is a necessary evil; the site owners need the exposure through search engines that frequent these pop-Metal phenomenons, but that doesnt mean we're not going to b**** about it.
3) Taking suggestions of others, I have gone back through their 1st 2 albums and then still concluded that they suck. The whole "wearing mascara and tight shirt/pants" thing kind of annoys me too.
Point: Don't really care if they sold-out, I just hate them anyway.
4) I still consider A7X Metal, but in the same way that PanicAtTheDisco is a rock band. Grudgingly I give that to them, but that still does'nt mean that they don't suscribe to uncomplicated flashy pop music appeal. They would rest in the Fallout boy genre if I had my way. And that genre would be named c*** suckers.
6) Don't listen to Synyster really, but playing someone else's solos does not make you as good or better than they are. Chris Adler just won Drummer of the year, but Every drummer I play with these days can play his sh**. Coming up with your own solos, and those solos actually being better than someone else's, would make you better than them, not copying. Besides, you need not be good at something to realize if someone sucks at it.

Everyone here deserves their own opinions, but, come on people this 'news' is just pointing out the obvious - Avenged Sevenfold have recorded a video to a song off of their new album. I can't understand how that news was interpretted as 'what do you think of A7X, truthfully?'. Fact is, in these comments there's no point yelling about how you hate the band, the comments are MEANT to be about the new album and the new video.
Also, to "f*** Moderated Comments" what's with the "The whole "wearing mascara and tight shirt/pants" thing kind of annoys me too."? Everyone nowadays wears masacara and maybe half of the rock bands wear tight shirts and trousers, so why just point that out about Avenged Sevenfold? They're not the only ones so don't bother using that against them. Also, since when did their clothing and make-up become the reason why to/not to listen to them? That's very judgemental of you. Are you a music fan or are you the fashion police? Make up your mind.

Yea I am getting tired of hearing avenged sevenfold being called emo. They aren't emo. City of evil wasn't that great either because hes not the greatest at singing but come on what about other songs like from the waking the fallen album? Has anybody listend to them?
28. writes:
A7X rule you think the guitar players in a7x can shred or even think they can play guitar listen to cannibal corpse or some mother f***in arch enemy or some children of bodom. compared to those bands a7x sucks so much d*** its not even funny okay maybe it is.
29. writes:
I personally do not like avenged sevenfold, they kinda piss me off. Mainly cause i cant get into the singers voice, but i do have respect for the guitarist cause that dam song on guitar hero 2 is f***in hard.
That being said, people here are ignorant & stupid. If you dont like a band, cause they arent "metal" well you're f***ed, the only band that i saw for news posted that isnt metal on this website was Alter Bridge. Metal is metal, which means it can be Iced Earth, Cannibal Corpse, Berzerker, Korn, System of a Down, Poison, Cinderella, Van Halen, Slipknot, Metallica, Anthrax, Pantera, Avenged Sevenfold, Trivium, Machine Head, Guns N Roses, Black Sabbath, My Chemical Romance etc etc
And while it disgusts me to list My Chemical Romance, cinderella & garbage like cradle of filth as metal, they are still different variations of metal. While the 80's spawned metal in various different directions, hair metal being the absurd one, this day & age emo is the new absurd one where all the poseurs & f***heads flock to. Its just the way of the world.
Bottom line metal isnt just one thing its many different things, its the sub genres that start to get f***ed, but to each his own right?

Alot of you have "Metal" issues. I hate sub genres as much as any Metalhead, but I hate people who consider this and that Metal cause they use a little Metal in one or two of there songs. Every band uses different styles, There core music style considers their genre. Metal consists of some blues in some songs, do you call any Metal band Thrash/Blues? no. A7x are hard rock, they do touch Metal, but not enough (not even close) to call themselves Metal.
You cannot call synester an amazing guitarist, I give him props for using a guitar, but he is nothing of amazing so get that out of your head. So he makes guitar riffs you like listening to. Well hes purposly making catchy riffs for you. You cant tell someone that they cant bash him because we cant prove to be better. This is like the only thread Metalheads bash a guitarist because of you rockers claiming synester is the best guitarist because of catchy riffs and magazines. They bash synester cause they know many OTHER famous guitar players who play BETTER, and with each better guitar player, the more your synester is crushed under every Metalheads steeltoe boot, so if you want to call him an amazing guitarist your the one whos f***ed, cause every Metalhead will tear you down.
To keep you rockers happy, yes hes a good ROCK guitarist, but there is MANY better guitarists. SO many better guitar players, your realize synester is nothing. If your really hard headed ill name them off for you.

To Gweny: Maybe half the bands you listen to wear that kinda crap, but nothing I listen to comes to mind with the same style. Besides, i didn't say that was why i don't listen to them, that's just why I hate them. It's never good when a guy can have cameltoe.
As to whether I'm the fashion police or a music fan, how about reading the rest of my post? Everthing i said was in response to the previous post anyway, so I don't think I really said anything worth yelling about, contextually-wise at least.

this is such a cliche argument. everytime there is a thread about somthing involving a7x this is what happens.
1. if you don't like the band, go to a different forum so that people who do enjoy discussing the band can actually do so, instead of getting dragged into an argument about somthing that has been discussed way too much already.
2. syn is an amazing guitar player. not the best ever, but if you are a 'metal' fan and you have any sort of grasp on what a good guitar player sounds like, then you should have no problem agreeing with me.
3. and lets give some praise to the rev for being an absolutly mental drum player.
4. it's already been said, but yes. if you actually watch all excess, you will see that they did want to create a sing/scream album (wTf) and a full sining album after that (cOe)
5. if any of you hater have actually listened to sounding the 7th trumpet, please tell me what 'genre' that would fall under. and i really hope you dont think it's the same style as fall out boy, like thats c*** master above me posted.
thanks

Crandy, if you've been here for more than 5 minutes you would have realised those were some of the most cliched arguments put forward on MU, which crazily enough I haven't got sick of replying to yet.
1. This is a forum for discussing bands, both positive and negative opinions are just as valid and should be allowed to be voiced. If you don't want to get dragged into an argument, believe it or not you can choose to ignore users just as they can choose to ignore you.
2. Amazing guitar player? Compared to who? What's the yard stick here? If you ask me he's just another guitar player, Jason Becker, Yngwie Malmsteen, Steve Vai etc, now they're amazing. I do have a good grasp on what a good guitar player sounds like and if by 'amazing' you mean 'competent' I'll agree.
3. Again, more than any other drummer I've listened to today? I don't think people here are complaining about A7X talent, it's the song writing.
4. No idea what you're on about but sure why not.
5. Not going to waste my time but if someone does I'd be interested.

First of all, Avenged Sevendold are a great band and my favourite one.
And if you think they suck, it's not a reason to attack anyone who listens to them. i hate black metal, but you dont see me trying to slaughter people just because they listen to it do you? it doesn't matter if you think they are not metal, music is music, no matter which genre the artist is.
so keep your godamn comments to yourselves and shut the fu** up.

The problem with a7x not being Metal, is that it's on a Metal site. And yes some loser put this on the site. Why? because it attracts different people so Metalheads will have something to do; like argue with fans of a rock band that exaggerate their genre and talent.
42. writes:
I am a big fan of metal especially the older bands like Guns N Roses and Metallica, todays metal band had not really impressed me so much until i heard A7X, they are the most unique sounding band i have ever heard. they have a style of their own that no one can touch, by far the best group i have heard since Guns N Roses
43. writes:
I think people forget where Metal came from so my two cents for both sides of this argument: I am almost 32 years old and got into metal when I was 11 and have listened to metal in every shape and fashion for the past 21 years. I have never got stuck in any era and I am still always on the look out for the latest and greatest. So let me say back when I was a pre-teen and teenager Iron Maiden was one of my favorite metal bands and to almost every metal fan they are still a metal icon.
So first to the guys who talk about emo and don't really know what it is (I do not like emo btw, just playing devil's advocate) there are a lot of emo bands who sound more hardcore than Iron Maiden ever did. What I am saying is metal has evolved so much and become so much harder in some sub-genres that the original metal gods sound like sissies in comparison. So does this mean they are no longer metal? Are only the white trash bands like Slipknot and Lamb of God what you consider metal therefor making hard but apparently not metal bands like A7X just emo? If they aren't hard enough for your tastes that is fine but that does not make them emo. Trust me my 20 year old nephew and all of his friends are in to emo, and stuff as hard as A7X would make them cry.
And on the flip side for the people saying A7X is the greatest ever. I have listened to so much music over the years and I am a big critic. I think A7X is def one of the best of today but any seasoned rocker will know there have been many more talented song writers but that is a sticky comparison because now you are comparing a band in their early 20s to guitar gods twice their age and more, so that really isn't fair either. A7X does one heck of a job all things considered and where as they might not write guitar solos like King Diamond I give them props.
With the intensity of their vocals, guitar work, song writing, and most songs average 6-7 minutes long, they might not sound like Cannibal Corpse for you tough guy metal heads but they sure as heck are not radio or poser or emo friendly.

Avenged Sevenfold is definitely one of the better groups out right now. But they are by no means metal and syn does not have that much talent. if you want some great solos you need to check out hendrix, paige, slash, hammet, and Dimebad Abbott. Drums the rev is good and sounds decent live cause of the double bass. but the best drummer out right now for me is travis barker. i dont like blink 182 but travis can jam out and actually keep a rythm and not just do drum rolls. everyone has there own taste but a7x is a good group so stop bashing and just listen to what you want to. they are still gonna sell their albums with or without you!
45. writes:
Syn....not talented. Are you a f***in moron. Ok hendrix yeh and all them good. They brought guitar playin forward but come on. Don't you get bored of a pentatonic scale being used again and again and again. Syn and ZV have created their own scales to add a bit off charater to the music, rather than the same old bullsh** that guitarists use and then call themselves good. And for not being metal??? WTF are you listening to. You say they're a good group. How the f*** would you know. sounds like you're not even listening to the same band. So get your f***in plugs out your ears, stop being a f***in p***y, listen to the music. Maybe you'll realise its too much for you and you can go back and spend your hard earned cash on some tickets for the spice girls reunion tour! A7X for life!

No. What I get bored of personally is the fact that so many people who defend A7X keep saying "A7X for life" as if by saying this, A7X fans are viewed like the f***ing bloods and crips or whatever.
"Word up my A7X fan!"
"Yeah A7X for life ma A7X fan!"
Actually that'd kinda make sense. Lord knows I wouldn't want someone calling me an A7X fan!

seriously, as a musician that has played 4 instruments for the last 5 years and loving music from grindcore to blues im gonna have to say the majority of you in here are just ignorant kids who seriously have issues. I remeber the first time i saw avenged sevenfold back in 03 they played with alexis on fire, i dont know if any of you know what a rythmic phrase is but if you listen to the beatles youll understand why they wre geniouses, almost all thier songs are using a completly differnt rythmic phrase. The tightness in wich avenged plays in is truly amazing, not only that but the technical aspect of the music too is highly professional and verry talented. Not to say that there arent better because there probably is , however you cant judge music as awhole, thier are different dgegrees of greatness, every style is different, avenged obviously was inspired by 80s hair bands like iron maiden and metallica. Either way appreciate and love all music for what it is or you truly dont desrve to listen to it.

and as for whoever wrote that travis barker is the best drummer out thier, go listen to buddy rich, tony royster jr, mike portnoy, the rev is far better than travis will ever be, the groovs and beats he plays are all genric crap. the world of drumming is far more advanced than you thik

A7X is in fact metal as determined by the beat and melody. Just because the music actually has MELODY and VOCALS (wich u can understand) doesnt mean they are sellout! A band who makes the music to earn money are sellouts! A7X makes the music cause they ENJOY it, therefor not a sellout band eighter.
Sellout bands on the other hand are bands like metallica (duh), slipknot, linkin park, dimmu borgir, cradle of filth, u get the picture...
If u dont like a7x, dont listen to it and die :)

It's funny how people are using Cannibal Corpse as the core Metal genre of today, cause it's not. I don't see one person here saying Death Metal is for the tough guys and is true Metal. Your only assuming this, which makes you the douchebag (that seems to be the big insult on this topic). a7x is on this site basically for bashing cause their NOT Metal, like I said before they play mostly Hard Rock. You people are treating Metal as a award for a band, us Metalheads are telling you that you're stupid; just call them Hard Rock, you like the band; now shut up. I can see why you think A7x is Metal but no one said we think they're not Metal because they don't sound like Cannibal Corpse. You need more variety of Metal bands to understand what sound Metal is. So calm down, the bashing isn't really going to this band but it's going to you a7x fans for glammering them to much. I know some of you are Metal Veterans, and I can fully understand why you see them as Metal. Gun's and Rose's for example was Metal, Pop Metal. Now there Melodolic Rock, Or just really good Rock. Only because Rock has Evolved so much. Like Metal has Evolved to make a sub genre Death Metal. Im not bashing the band, I don't hate them just not my kind of Music. I listen to various various Metal bands, not just your typical Slayer and Megadeth. And when I gave a7x a chance, and believe me I have them a lot, they dont have the Metal sound ; sometimes but not nearly enough to call them Metal

1. Avenged Sevenfold are rejected from the Encyclopedia Metallum, the largest and one of the most respected sources of info (but not news :P ) for metalheads on the net. Just reading this thread should tell you how much the metal community rejects them.
2. @anactualmetalhead - Something tells me an actual metalhead wouldn't call all death metal just "cookie monster growls over a bunch of palm mutes."
Here's my arguement - This sweet new band I'm listening to called Rhapsody (though they have a new name now) and most notably the track "Rain Of A Thousand Flames". Anyway, why mention them? Because it has the musicianship is awesome, vocals are "ACTUAL" vocals etc. However, in all Rhapsody threads you don't get a bunch of morons coming in saying Luca Turilli is the greatest guitarist ever because a) its EXPECTED of metal bands to have awesome musicianship and b) those fans have no inferiority complex, and c) they know guitarists like Becker and Malmsteen exist.
3. @Doc. Metal who says "A7X is in fact metal as determined by the beat and melody. " -- Lol, thanks for that in-depth report their buddy, I'd suggest filing that on the metal-archives forums and see how far you get with your logic.
4. @Guru - I've played guitar for about 8 years seriously now and can tell when a band is doing a pathetic job of ripping off watered down At The Gates riffs (see the song "Unholy Confessions"). Not that I'd ever seriously think of taking advice from a guy who thinks Metallica were a hair metal band.
BOTTOM LINE: A7X are a band who incorporates metal influences in their music. Just like this doesn't make Linkin Park or Limp Bizkit metal, it doesn't make them metal. What ever they are past that be it hard rock, metalcore etc no-one cares apart from the fans posting here. Are they talented? Yes, along with 95% of every other band posted on this site, so no need to blow on about it. Are they so talented as to come close to Jason Becker? Gene Hoglan? Steve DiGiorgio? Jim Gillette? f*** NO. (Yeah Gillete was the most talented singer I could think of).

You think the person who shoved this interview on this website really gave a sh** whether metalheads had something to do or not? Come on! How ignorant can you get? The 'loser' is probably laughing at every person (including myself) who's argueing right know, because they probably reckon we've got nothing to do than sit around and argue with people we've never seen or met, over the internet.
Secondly, I'm picking you up on the first thing you said 'The problem with a7x not being Metal, is that it's on a Metal site'. So, why are My Chemical Romance on this website? Maybe some 'loser' put it on for you metalheads to poke some fun at, too, are maybe the admins of this site are shoving in more mainstream bands to give this website a bit more popularity and a bit more diversity. Sure, that sounds like total and utter sh** - shoving My Chemical Romance and Avenged Sevenfold onto a metal website for diversity's sake, but hey, could be.
I do, however, agree with you that Avenged Sevenfold are a rock band and not a metal band, but they do touch on metal in a few of their songs (mainly their older albums, definately not the new sh** they're spewing out.). They're a good band in their own right - THEY don't exagerate their genre, the fans, reveiwers, interveiwers, magazines, etc, do. To them they're a band, just like any other.
'Exagerating their talent'? Well, come on mate, if a band is famous and travelling all over the world, whether you like them or not they've got to have even the tiniest bit of talent to be up there on stage. Before you say that the Sex Pistols didn't have talent and they are and were famous, I do realise this, but one or two of the members had talent and it wasn't Sid or Johnny .
I agree with Cynic's 'bottom line' on post 56. But now I think we should all just f***ing leave this arguement and enjoy the sunshine we're getting for once. For gods sake, this arguement is NEVER gonna be answered so just f***ing deal with it and leave it.

I hate the phrase "stfu" so much. Anyways, Rolling Stone, though a respected magazine in it's own right is not edited and written by heavy metal fans. Note how it said Priest and Maiden. Why? Because those are two of the bands that springs to everyone's mind when heavy metal is brought up. Besides the point there are plenty of Priest songs which aren't gloomy (Heading Out To The Highway, Hot Rockin', Parental Guidance etc.). As I've said, I'm not here to change anyone's opinions on what bands they like or hate but at the end of the day, alot of the A7X fans need to present their arguements better than "OMFGROFLBBQ!!! STFU COZ A7X ARE TEH BEST BAND EVER AND IF YOU DONT LIEK THEM THEN YOU'RE GAY AND HAVE AIDS AND HAVE SEX WITH YO M0MMAS! A7X 4 LIFE BOIIIII!"

ok to all you new a7x fans here, ill update everything for you. for the longest time ever the A7X threads have been our chatrooms cuz that was the only purpose they would ever have here. but for a while theyve been far from that cuz alot of ppl stopped coming here over the summer, including me, and i come here now and its swarmed with fans.
the reason they get posted is not because they are metal its cuz we need a chatroom. and post 41, the person who posted this was Diamond Oz and he posted it not because he likes them or thinks theyre metal, but because he likes bashing the brainless a7x fans and watching ppl argue and always haveing the fans get crushed.
but i see some of you have actually been starting to use some of your brain. keep going and maybe youll stop riding on the special bus.
69. writes:
DiamondOz - I am a big A7X fan and I believe I made more of an argument than just omfgstfu. Regardless of what you want to classify them as they are a great band and YES I promise you I am sure I listen to a lot of what the new metalheads call metal as well. I think the invoking of Priest and Maiden are perfect because that is kind of the old school influence A7X has that makes them metal in some minds that still consider the 80s and 90s metal bands metal. By today's standards they are more or less hard rock and in some cases just rock and I am sure the people who write Rolling Stone and other media content are older rockers who still consider this sound metal. This really is up to everyones personal discretion because if you only call bands metal that most people on here consider metal then you pretty much toss out the last 30 years of metal history and pretend it started less than a decade ago.

One more comment. While I am usually a kiddie basher myself I do want to point out that you guys do pounce on people pretty badly for thinking A7X is talented. Actually think about it this way: I am sure a lot of people who are blowing them out of proportion are teenagers who have heard nothing but radio friendly solo-less songs full of power cords and all of a sudden they hear a hint of real musicianship and they are amazed. Let them ride with it and hopefully this just opens them up into a whole new world of real music.

and post 50, metal has evolved, you cant keep old standards. if metal standards turned back into an a7x style i would adapt with it even if i dont like it.
calling heavy metal "soooo metal" and then calling the ppl who listen to metal heavier than a7x "posers" just won you a spot in my head as the fukkin dumbest piece of shiit ever. f*ck off YOU are the poser.
and no we dont hate the singer cuz he doesnt scream all the time he just sux, and if screaming is what you think all real metalheads are into, then that makes you even more of a dumbshiit.
you cant say a7x are closer to real metal today, but you can say that A7X's style at a time back then was real metal. get over your thick skull and accept reality. there is a such thing as TIME and it moves FORWARD.

im not saying forget about the history of metal and its past, but accept the fact that metal is alot different from when it started. stuff like A7X may not be as readily accepted as metal than before. if people hundreds of years ago heard music today they might as well say classical music is the only REAL music.

No you did indeed represent your arguement well AncientRocker and in turn was responded with some intelligent replies. My point is when you read posts like the one above my last and numerous others in this forum alone, it doesn't help the case that fans with something to say are trying to make. I also listen to a variety of metal but there's also some metal I dislike as I'm sure there is you. However, whether or not A7X should be seen as the most metal band ever by some of these fans because they have more in common with metal of the 80s is no solid foundation for an arguement in my opinion (not saying you said they were the most metal thing going I'm just using it as an example). There comes a time sadly though when that style is dead or should just be left as classic. For example have you heard of a band called The Answer? Not a bad band in their own right but they my aswell just be a Led Zeppelin tribute band. The 70s went a long time ago and the 80s ten years after and bands really need to accept that. Bring in influences from the 70s and 80s by all means but trying to be a band from that era just kills the fun. If you wanna use an outside reference then take professional wrestling. Back in the 80s and before you would have the slower wrestling matches of Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Buddy Rogers etc but there came the point where something needed to change because although that way was still respected, there comes a point where people don't wanna see it anymore and that's where ECW and all the other hardcore promotions come in. So in that respect Judas Priest is like Ric Flair. Were/are they both great? No question about it. But are they the voice of a generation and of a way their younger peers behave/perform, whatever? No. Anyways, I'll leave wrestling for another site lol.
Also, I don't recall seeing anyone on here doubt A7Xs musical prowess. I'll admit like many other non-fans have, that they are talented musicians... the vocals, meh, not for everyone. It's their songwriting that the "haters" or whatever you wanna call them have a problem with.

okay people, first off- of course everyone can express their opinions about a band which they may love or hate, but in the end no one here is going to "win" this wonderful argument. Whether or not a band is amazing or crummy is 100% the belief of the person listening to it. There is so much music out there that as a culture, we would consider "great" music, but not everyone is going to like it. The Beetles would be considered a great band because they've lasted centuries and people still love them. And Madonna, how long has she been around? And she's still going strong. But not EVERYONE in the country necessarily likes or listens to either of these artists. So really, no one here can label a7x as a completely crummy band since they haven't been around long enough to stand the test of time and determine whether the music is great. We won't know which of todays musicians are great until we're all so old we can barely even hear the radio to know what's still being played. So all of you hating on a7x and talking about how much they suck, well go right ahead with it, cause your not going to change the minds of any fan on this forum.
And if no one here is familiar with the term vernacular music, its absolute fact that the sound of music changes with time. Artists make music which people at that point in time want to hear. They're going to play music that the culture can relate to... That's why you hear so much rock, country, reggae, rap, etc. today and in say the 1930's you would have heard more folk music. The times change, and so do the likes of people.
SO obviously a7x, among many bands, will change their sound to adapt to the culture at that time. Just like.. Metallica. Anyone whos listened to an early Metallica CD, like Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets can easily tell that it's a lot more "harcore" or "heavy" than the laters albums such as Garage, Inc, or even the self titled album. But they are still a very talented band, and still hold millions of fans. As far as a7x changin their style- I did see all excess, and know that they wanted to change their style anyways. But either way, with the change more people can relate to the new style of rock. That's just how the world works... Period.
Being an a7x fan myself, I will admit that I love Waking the Fallen much more than City of Evil, but that's just my preference. A lot of people who listen to secular music may not particularly like the screaming as much, but for me it's awesome and puts me in a great mood when I'm screaming out the lyrics to Second Heartbeat or Unholy Confessions. But that's just what I like to hear, and it's music that I can relate to myself. No one said any of the haters on here had to enjoy it, so just change the station next time, or dont buy the album if it annoys you so much.

The point I was making is that great bands such as Metallica have to change their style of music through time if they want to continue to relate to their audience... And I agree, it is a shame that they'll probably be known for the self titled album versus Ride the Lightning or Master of Puppets.. I personally think those were the best albums they made.
Anyways, I think the people here that are trying to argue that a7x sucks and sold-out just because they changed their style need a reality check.. it happens every day. That's how our music evolved to what it is today.....

Fair enough, Metallian, but I still disagree with you on that part, still. Avenged Sevenfold are a rock band in the wrong habitat when it comes to this site. Everyone's opinion on metal is different - A7X may just be metal to one person, or even pop to another, but they're still a band and if you don't like them - like every other 'hater' on this site - just don't listen to them.
You can't kill all the Avenged Sevenfold fans just because you don't like them and/or the band (and I use the word 'kill' lightly). They're here, they're famous, and until they break up they're gonna be staying here for a long time. Over here in the UK, though, they seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth. Go figure.

Metallica is fat bloated and washed-up and anyone who still listens to them is a dumbass midlife crisis idiot who is horrified to let go of their youth.
Just because A7X wear f***ing eyeliner and sh** doesn't mean they're not metal. Look at Marilyn Manson. He was faggier than all members of A7X + David Bowie. So, why don't all you f***ing metallica fa**ots get off your f***ing high horses.
Oh, and to some dude in a post way earlier, I totally doubt that your friend can play ALL of Chris Adler's sh**. You've probably never spent one day in a real band or playing with real musicians. You sit behind a computer and jerk off to the banners on demonoid and play WoW.

Actually anactualmetalhead, I love A7X as much as anyone and critical acclaim is a really good song but in my opinion it falls more heavily into the hardcore genre (with a heavy dose of Guns N Roses influence) .. which really is what A7X has always been even though they have been flaunting a heavy 80's metal sound on the last two album. I think we are all finally agreeing though that the label of who is what really comes down to what decade you are referring to. On a side note - the hardcore genre is pretty deep rooted in both punk rock and metal.. who wants to pick up that one and run with it?

are not metal.
their vocalist never learned how to scream right so he ended up tearing his vocal chords up to the point where they were bleeding and he had to get surgery.
A7x were never that good in my opinion, the only member with the least bit of potential is their drummer, and even he is mediocre at best.

But you know what i also listen to red jumpsuit and paramore and for f***s sake hawthorne heights and you know what i really dont care anymore. You can bash me all you want. You know what, i got jumped for believing in what i know. And now there is a metal plate in my face 3 inches long, that right there makes me more "metal" than most of you a$$hole f***heads. I love A7X and i dont really give a f*** if you do or not. You might not realize it but there are only a handfull of bands who are actually real. Really REAL not being fed by the record company to kill something onstage or dye their hair black or f*** a goat. You might not realize but most all of the music industry is fake. And for a band to come out and say you know what we want to write a record with no help is something great. This cd doesnt have any outside influence in it. Its about the friendship, the brotherhood and the music. Did every one forget what music is? its about sharing the times where johnny got super f***ed up and bashed in his boss' car window or where mike was so f***ed up he got pulled over and thrown in jail and we had to bail him out the next morning. Music is about remembering the good times and sharing those times with everyone else. Its not about whose emo and whose hardcore and whose "metal". Whether you like it or not once in your life time youve thought "wow is this even worth it?" and there has been those dark times where you dont want to talk to anyone you just want to be left alone to listen to music because its the one thing that will bring you back to normal. But what is normal? is normal living day to day just to live? is normal waking up each morning and thinkin "damn, i did okay". There is a difference between living and surviving. Being metal isnt really that f***in important. You think youre gonna get a job because you eat cats for breakfast? You think youll get a promotion because you f***in sat front stage at a f***in Arch Enemy concert. No it really f***in doesnt matter. At All. So the next time you bash on a band who isnt "metal" enough, think about it. Did someone bash on you because you like Arch Enemy or COB? Because ill tell you what someone out there is bigger and can kick your a$$ too just in case you forgot. So just drop it and go on with your life. does it really matter if you crush one kids self-esteem because they like a band who is real? Does it really f***in matter? What does that accomplish? Now i understand if it is a lack of talent because there are plenty of bands like that (A7X not being one of them) but not everyone can sweep from a penatonic C to a E Major to a G Dorian. Not everyone is a prodigy guitar god. So cut everyone some slack, please and just forget about it. Besides are they even worth it? If you think that these guys are such scum and they suck so much a$$hole, then why are you even wasting your time? You could be making your own cd. So find something else to do for the time being. But if that doesnt work then by all means come back to pickin on us. Were always up for a good argument. One last thing do try to talk sh** back to me because come on what are the chances im ever gonna come back to this site?

ok here we go
A7X are an 8 year old band whos main enfluences came from bands like G&R Metallica and ACDC. These bands are the founders of what metal lovers consider metal
Now i am not calling A7X replica copies of these bands but they should be allowed to take inspiration from them. now how many of these bands have had lvl 7 to 9 distortion on thier guitars and death growled and pig squealed. this means that A7X is closer to metal then corpse or lamb? ummmmm no. music has to evolve into different genres otherwise it isnt music. God damn it guys music is universal you cannot call a band not metal jst because they use melodic lines which harmonise and a vocal tenor as a lead singer, how boring would it be if metal and other music didnt evolve? we would still be singing grigorian hyms or playing Bach on our clavicords (please not many metal bands like A7X, Human Abstract and Scar symetry to name a few use wounderful sequences which still can be turned intoa metal sound. does that mean that they are baroque bands? WTF is that. So metal can be called anything. from A7X to Waking the Cadaver musical enfluences have inpacted on all bands and variation between them does not mean they are not great of "metal' bands.
But who really cares

And if you read my posts you'd note the only negative thing I've said about A7X is that I thought the song "Unholy Confessions" is a watered down rip off of At The Gates (though in this day that's becoming common place as an awesome riff, *wretch*). I dislike metalcore and the only rock bands I like are the really progressive ones like Muse and Radiohead. I thought the clean neo-classical bit in "Bat Country" was quite well written but apart from that A7X are not my thing.

Not the best, but damn good. Listen to the solo at the end of Second Heartbeat, and tell me he's not good.
Also, for all you "metalheads" out there. Pantera used to be a hair-band.

Wait a second... were you quoting me there? Because I have trouble believing someone could graduate from a top university of any kind and be such a jerk off as to totally rip a quote out of context for his own purposes. No I don't consider myself a master of guitar either, hell only really consider myself a songwriter.
"but I can easily tell you that Syn is one of the best guitarists around today."
See, this is the second part of why I think you're bullsh**. Yngwie, Vai, Romeo, Suicmez, Santolla, Friedman, Li, Azagthoth, Sanders, Pertrucci, Jarzombek, LaRoque - That was just off the top of my head! One of the best? No. This gates guy is just another guitarist, because as I have said many a time in previous posts you no doubt didn't bother to read, we expect guitarists to be great in metal.
What I love is when a$$holes like you put up a strawman argument by making out everyone loves Deicide (and Slipknot?) and hates A7X for things like clean vocals. Try quoting someone and not flinging general insults.
"Also, for all you "metalheads" out there. Pantera used to be a hair-band." - Was that supposed to mean something? You used to sh** your pants as a baby. Is that a logical insult?

You guys should stop wasting your time ripping on a band, just because they're not metal enough for you. Sound like some people are jealous of them making millions, having an awesome job, and getting laid. You c***smokers need to get a life. Also, jack-offs, pushing your c*** and balls between your legs isn't fooling anyone.

i dont think anyone here is actually even close to 12 years old. the only "12 year olds" i see, judging by context of posts, are the a7x fans.
and post 134, there are a lot of other ppl who also make millions and have a cool job, so why the f*ck would we be jealous of A7X??? also, getting laid is not something special, but maybe to you it is......
