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

I don't care for Sevenfold but you can't say their songs take no skill to play. I don't like the solo's that are built on speed because all it is is them practicing scales to an extent. Solo's should be done tastefully and have its place in the music. Not just a million notes because you like to show off. Sevenfold definitely weren't the pioneers of the Nu Metal age. That has to be Korn.

Pantera was friggin awesome. Dime was one of the greatest. But they weren't Nu Metal, they were just straight up Metal.

I consider them nu metal due to the time they emerged

[coldred243]

I personally think that Slipknot is a bit better than Pantera

Pantera was playing in the 80's. They were actually a glam band until they decided to change their image up and just went straight up metal. They shot up before Nu Metal was even a thing. Nirvana and the grunge scene popped up and killed glam and pompous rock. Then Korn came out in the early 90's and blew the doors open on a new style of metal. Pantera is too thrashy to be part of that style and they were around before it was a thing.

You are right...it is Nu Metal. There is a difference. I am not talking about what band you or I like. I am just saying what style they were.

[coldred243]

I dont even consider Korn any type of metal at all

[coldred243]

See them live and you'll agree with me. I saw them open early this month for Slipknot and it just wasnt hard or heavy. I will consider them hard rock at most even then thats stretching it a bit

It isn't really about what you consider. Nu Metal is a genre. And whether you like it or not. Korn were the ones that blew the doors open on it. It has nothing to do with whether you like it or not.

Thats where you are wrong. Korn put a foot in the door and slipknot knocked that ♥♥♥♥ down full ♥♥♥♥♥♥ force. and im not talking about album sales im talking about in terms of quality music

Like I said, that is an opinion. Slipknot were right behind them. But Korn were the ones that started all of that. You can't really say someone isn't part of a genre because you don't like their music.

Lol. I think people decided that Sevenfold were overrated years ago. But they still have a big fan base. Good for them.

[coldred243]

Not good for them. Theyre are many more bands in this world that deserve the recognition that that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ ass band recieves.
