Avenged Sevenfold is overrated

[coldred243]

I feel like I'm the only one who personally thinks that this band just plain sucks, and its a band that wannabe metal fans like. There songs are soft, almost take no skill to play and people act as if that they are pioneers of the Nu Metal age. I strongly disagree. I personally think that the two front runners are Pantera and early Slipknot (after Iowa Slipknot has gone down in terms of great and heavy music but they are still ok nowadays). I personally just don't get all of the hype for this band. Does anyone agree?

FYI If you want some hard ♥♥♥♥ listen to King 810 and Scar Symmetry

Well, they're fine. Glad to know a new band.

[coldred243]

I got the experience to see them live. it was only a four song set but it was really good

[Perquisitore]

Cool, I would like to see Iron Maiden or Iced Earth. I don't go to any concerts though.

[coldred243]

I havent seen both. I would kill to see Maiden

[Perquisitore]

My father saw them when he was younger and he said me they're great.

[SlyMeerkat]

They are alright but i dont actively listen to them as much

Messaggio originale di Jakendad:

"Nu metal" = Not actual metal or anything rock related.

?? Then what is it? R & B? Jazz? It is a subgenre of heavy metal. It has influences from metal, rock, rap, hip hop, electronic....all kinds of crap. It is kind of a bunch of ideas from different genres thrown together with a metal element. It definitely isn't elevator music I'll tell you that.

Garbage pop-like music which tries to be metal.

Guess which two are more metal, and which one isn't?

Lol. That song wasn't metal. Linkin Park did have some metal-like elements in some of their stuff but that was NOT one of them.They were Nu Metal at first but they gradually moved out of that. And a lot of nu Metal is far from what I would call pop. Linkin Park is now more of a pop/rock/rap band. Nice try. And there was far more to that genre than Linkin Park.

Lol. Metal fans are the only fan base that gets angry over something as dumb as a sub genre. "RRRRRR they don't have anything to do with metal. Nothing is as metal as metal!! They are NOT METAL!!!!!!! AAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"

It is hilarious.
Edit: don't know why that G is censored.

Most of Linkin Park's songs were considered as Hard Rock/Alternative.

[coldred243]
