Avenged Sevenfold

[fear the juggalo 2]

yeah, i've met them a few times. a few of my friends are very close 2 them. my son plays the drums, & one time we spoke to them the rev. sat down with him for 30 min & helped him with his timing. he didnt have to do that, but just did out of the kindness of his heart. it's things like that, that define you as a person. if only other bands would treat their fans the way a7x do, they would have even more success!

[justincrowe]

oh man, i love this band... been a fan since waking the fallen.

the new record is pretty much my favourite album of 2010. been rocking it non stop since it came out...

how'd you guys rate their albums? i'd say

1. Nightmare
2. Waking The Fallen
3. City Of Evil
4. Diamonds In The Rough
5. Sounding The Seventh Trumpet
6. Avenged Sevenfold

[fear the juggalo 2]

1. sounding the seventh trumpet    2. nightmare         3. waking the fallen                  4. avenged sevenfold             5. city of evil       6. d.i.t.r (i dont even count that as a album)              my list may be a lil' jaded. stst goes first because thats how i got into then, so that album is special to me. the st should be higher because that album still gets the most play. im sure from month to month the order would change for me.

ok heres my ranking

1. Nightmare
2. Avenged Sevenfold
3. Waking the Fallen
4. City of Evil
5. Diamonds in the Rough
6. Sounding the Seventh Trumpet


I will add that I love STST, and just cause its last doesnt mean I dont like it.  I love all of their stuff.

Nightmare really is an amazing album.  The shit going on in each song works well.

Is it just me, or does this Bon Jovi song predate Avenged Sevenfolds ballad style (not judging Nightmare, havent listened to it. But City of Evil and Self titled)

Dry County is an awesome song, one of Bon Jovi's best, but I don't hear any A7x influence or style in there particularly.

[mrlee]

the progressive ballad, pianos, turns into fast epic guitar solo etc. Just the way its produced n sounds reminds me of A7X

I dont think the words progressive or epic belong in the same sentence as Bon Jovi.

Things are going to sound similar in western music notation. That's just the nature of the beast. Bon Jovi aren't unique sounding in anyway.

Usually id agree, but that song is a pretty long and unique track for Bon Jovi you must agree surely?

yeah i was just busting balls, I actually like Bon Jovi, not just cause im from Jersey either.

With Dry County you can make an exception. Very epic song, unlike the stuff their churning out these days.
This is from Keep The Faith era of the bad when they were putting out some of their very best music too.

[One.In.A.Million]

I saw these guys open up for GN'R in Paris and Hammersmith in 2006. It is horrible what they've had to go through recently, but they have come out stronger.

I must admit, I don't listen to them all that much, but I admire and respect them as a band.

And it's cool how much they all love Guns N' Roses.

yeah I think Slippery When Wet, New Jersey, Keep The Faith and These Days were awesome...definitely a solid decade of great song writing.  I even enjoy a good amount of the new songs over the last 10 years, but I must admit when I hear some of the new songs Im not sure if it is  Taylor Swift or Bon Jovi until the vocals start.
