O/T: Avenged Sevenfold

Just wondering what you guys think of their new stuff, I haven't bought the new album yet but it is supposed to be much more straight-forward, just one vocal and to the point. I have to admit I really like this song a lot, to me it's straight-forward and focuses on the songwriting, I really dig the singer he sings with power I like that, plus ditching the background vocals means the lead is that more powerful. Anyway I may buy it tomorrow just wonderin' what ya'll think...

Was that song off of Load or ReLoad?
 
robb flynn bagged them for blatenly ripped matallica megadeth and gnr off,sad but true:),he sounds like hetfield

He wasn't the first one to do it, but I read it with a big smile.

On topic: Can't stand them at all. One of my least appreciated bands in the Metal community. :puke:
 
I heard "Shepherd of Fire," the intro and main riff comes straight from Megadeth - Trust. The vocals are Dickinson-esque at times. It wasn't bad.
 
I'm not a huge A7X fan, but my girlfriend is, so I went with her to see them (Deftones and Ghost were playing too, so I was down for that). They were pretty good, not really up my alley, but she sure loved it.

The only song they played that I knew, though, was "Bat Country". They're playing all their new music at their concerts, as if we're all supposed to know it
