Avenged Sevenfold — a band as unique as a tribal armband tattoo and as clever as using the term "thinking outside the box" — has an appeal that's mystifying. People continue to listen to this band well into the year 2009, and A.S. apparently have enough clout to book an arena tour — an act that shows balls, given this country's economy. Go ahead and charge your fans — mainly 14-year-old girls and angst-ridden teenagers — $50 a ticket, I guess. Apparently, they deem this a fair-enough price to witness the band's mind-numbingly boring style of hard rock and "metal." It's a crying shame that 45-year-old white men who work in A&R for record companies such as Warner Brothers keep bands like Avenged Sevenfold in business, basing their decisions on how much their teenage daughters like the band's music. But, hey, if you want to see a really overdressed, pompous group of dudes from Huntington Beach who use an obscene amount of hair product and play songs about bats and — oddly enough — the Bible, then head on out to Glendale on Friday night.

    I'm nowhere near the description of the fans --mainly 14-year-old girls and angst-ridden teenagers. I also, as a huge fan of this band find your article offensive. You sound like the type of person who is swayed by everyone else's opinions, instead of thinkig for yourself. If you actually sat down and listened to their music, you might actually gain respect for it. Then again, I'm just using my right to free speech, just as you did.

    You obviously are an Indie rock fan and have no clue about what you're talking about and have no appreciation for a band that has tried to bring back what Metallica, Pantera, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc. gave to the 80's and 90's. Yes, maybe they sold out in the last few years, but if you listen to their Sounding the Seventh Trumpet album or their Waking the Fallen album, then you'll realize the band was just doing what they love, making good, hardcore music. Listen to more music before you write ignorant reviews.
