What's wrong with Avenged Sevenfold?

[Bront20]

I'm very "meh" towards them.

Most folks who play online are sick of them because it seems to be a very popular song to pick (along with Down with the Sickness and a few others of the top tier songs). It's not just "Almost Easy", their other songs are more popular with the online folks than not.

Me, I find it amusing that they felt that every member of the band needed a "bada** nickname".

But their music is tolerable. Often times more so than I find some other forms of metal. But we all have our own opinions, and mine is no more right than anyone elses.

I don't hate Avenged Sevenfold, but I sure do hate all the Avenged Sevenfold fans who keep cluttering up the Ultimate Setlist forum with threads about how WE NEED MOAR A7X (instead of adding to existing threads on the same subject) and how A7X SHOULD TOTALLY HAVE THEIR OWN GAME (no, they most definitely should not) and how WE NEED A7X DLC IN HONOR OF THE REV, R.I.P. (Go. To. Hell.).

That's a good point too. I hate the vocal, irritatingly pushy fans way more than anything, and I'm of the opinion that you shouldn't give the demanding people what they want in order to shut them up, because they'll continue to ask for more since you gave in the first time. So, they just keep crying.

good thing I'm not that kind of fan.

[Transbrak]

I can't stand the singers voice and nothing I have heard sets them apart from the multitudes of other bands out there. Plus there fans are super annoying, if a member of your band dies it does not automatically make your band legendary.

I like Avenged Sevenfold a lot, especially the City of Evil album and stuff before that, but I definitely don't like how they're overplayed online. :\ If I have to sing Almost Easy one more time.... D:<

[mogwaimon]

A7X is pretty sick, good sounding music and whatnot, but some people hate it coz it's overplayed, it's not real metal (It's more metalcore?Is that the term?) and of course, some people just don't like the sound.

Me?I like the band, the music is good and the vocalist has a very distinctive sound. If you hear a song by A7X, you know it's them, same way you know it's Ozzy when you hear his vocals or it's Rush when you hear their distinctive guitar...it doesn't feel samey like some other bands do.

[chumsicles]

Their entire aesthetic and sound is the epitome of what angsty teenagers think is "hardcore". They try to sound tough and badass, but their music just comes off as side-splittingly pussyish

[PJudge]

While I agree that, yeah, they have a unique sound, I personally think that it gets old very quickly. I used to like them, but I think the general over-playedness and how that once I was told he sounds a bit like he's being castrated, I can't get that out my head, so I just went off them.

I'm ok with a couple of songs, but I don't think they are as good as every single teenager thinks they are. They certainly don't deserve (in my opinion) the amount of fuss they get. As for them on RB, yeah have some songs on there, thats cool, but as with every other band on the game, not everyone will like them.

I do, however, dislike them being on-disc. I can never escape playing Almost Easy online, so if they keep them to DLC then the people that don't like them don't have to live with the thought that they'll have to play it over and over again.

they have a unique sound and I think with all the negativity surrounding them they are actually a bit underated as musicians now. I do think they are a bit immature and that shows in their music, but they might mature with time. They are not a classic metal band like a Maiden . Their music is kinda cheap sounding in parts...again the immaturity.
