Axl and Slash should be spinning in their metaphorical graves

If you enjoy metal, you may or may not want to read this, pending if you consider Avenged Sevenfold (or A7X that their true diehard fans refer to them as) metal. For the last few years, these California prima donnas act like they are bigger then everything and everyone. When they started out, they appeared as another scream-o band dressed like they raided Davey Havok's closet. That was about it. Then City of Evil came out. The singer got stoked on aviators, and developed the band around image, and some familiar substance very simular to Guns and Roses. Shound G&R be flattered? I wouldn't be, but that's all Axl and the gang have goin for them. The album's success gained them a popular crowd with the Hot Topic kids as well as the TRL girls. I almost threw up when I saw them on TRL when I was at my parent's house. They were yellin "hey, we want to be number one on the countdown so continue voting for us!" . Aw. Right there with Fall Out Boy and whatever else MTV shoves down the viewers' throats.

The thing that I can't figure out, is why so many people worship these chumps. Every metal-influenced teenager thinks Zack and that other guy are the best guitar players ever. Mostly because they solo constantly on the guitar. Nothing too exciting. Dualing guitar solos. Wow. Does that sound fun? Perhaps they do each other's makeup too. That's more adorable then the dualing guitars on every song.That brings mee to their drummer. "The Rev". Another makeup-wearing wanker. He is also worshipped by many, hated by few. Mostly me. He smirks like an idiot when he plays and poses for the camera. Sure he can play double bass fast, but since when does playing double bass over and over and over again on every track consider someone talented? It's just extra noise that is overrated.

So you may be asking "why the hate for this band?" Well, 82 got me into the majority of the bands I enjoy. This is not one of them. Well, this general type of band that is. I stay away from crap like this. They don't offer anything to the music world worth while. They have nothing to say. Oh wait! Yes they do! They're pro war and pro Bush! Two things I don't support. But if you do, more power to you.

So when you go out there shopping for christmas or whatever holiday you celebrate, save your money, and stay away from Avenged Sevenfold. They'll bore you to sleep with the ever-popular guitar solos, and songs about picking up hookers in Vegas among other enlightening moments in their lives.
