anything avenged

I personally found them very boring last year.

Garbage

they SUCK MONKEY BALLS because they're a total corparate band

Avenged Sevenfold isn't a metal band, yet they're constantly labeled as one. They are horrible. They can't write music, play, or dress themselves. I hate the music they put out.

maybe i can understand not dressing themselves...and even tho u dont like their type of music...i think they CAN write music and play it just they come off in the wrong way....i just want to see what their next cd is like

AUBURN, Washington — Some of the sun-crisped metalheads packed into the White River Amphitheatre for the first stop on this year's 11th annual Ozzfest were skeptical of "TRL" favorites Avenged Sevenfold being on the festival's main stage. But there they were on Thursday, and the naysayers weren't about to distract the band from the mission at hand: Trying to win the crowd over.

So, Avenged, led by the diamond-grilled, Axl-Rose-imitating M. Shadows, pulled the proverbial rabbit out of the hat by covering — and handily at that — a tried-and-true metal classic: Pantera's "Walk." Shadows dedicated the tune to the memory of slain Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott (see " Dimebag Darrell, Four Others Killed In Ohio Concert Shooting"), and about three riffs in, the audience — even the cynics — were sold, pumping their fists and barking the song's stilted refrain: "Re! Spect! Walk!" And for the rest of the band's set, which ended with "Bat Country," Avenged owned them all.

In short, when in doubt at Ozzfest, cover Pantera. Following the group's debut as part of the festival, Shadows — covered in sweat and chugging bottled water — seemed relieved. How would Avenged celebrate this triumph? A few hours later, they boarded their tour bus and headed for Oregon, where they'd spend Friday (June 30) fishing at a lakeside cabin.

On Thursday, with the majestic, snowcapped Mount Rainier as its backdrop, Sharon Osbourne's traveling circus of heavy metal and hard rock, bad tattoos and worse habits, launched in Auburn. The small town is about 50 minutes from Seattle and its main road is lined with smoke shops, casinos and dilapidated shacks that double as residences and pyrotechnics shops.

Fans started lining up outside the venue at around 5:30 a.m, some coming from as far as Texas for an afternoon and evening filled with debauchery and ear-splitting metal. While Avenged's set was one of the day's many highlights, the majority of the 15,000 fans were there for the same reason: Ozzy Osbourne, the festival's unstoppable namesake.

i hate avenged sevenfold. the end

haha i dont care if anyone hates them

one of the worst ive ever seen live.

they sucked badly... and playing a pantera song was bullshit... they have no right!

them playing Pantera was total bullshit.

i dont really care. i like their music as hard rock at the most. their first album was metal. thats it.
and yea...they seriously shouldnt have played pantera...

i thought their cover of walk at ozzfest was the best song out of all the bands...everyone went crazy during it...loudest the crowd was all damn night singing along with it. thought they did a great job there

I thought they were good, they were better then some other bands that were there.

I like some of their music i haven't heard to much of them but from what i heard they are good.

i like them too. one of if not my favorite band. i have many tattoos because of them. not because i'm a crazy obsessed fan, i just love skulls. and a skull with bat wings? c'mon. that's cool. and i think they did a really awesome job covering walk. they didn't do it just to do it. they actually did it for a cover cd for kerrang.

also, isn't every band a corporate band? i mean, if bands aren't in it for the money, and they only do it because they love it, then why charge for cd's, merch, concerts, etc? every band is in it for the money, no matter what they say. some are just smarter than others, and do things that will get them more money.

very true....and yes they covered walk because kerrang wanted them to cover a heavy metal song and they knew walk very well and recorded that song...plus vinnie said they did a very good job on that song

funny. my brother HATES the music i listen to, and when i made him go so he could drive, he said they were really good. especially the dueling solos.
