Honestly. They have/had really good talent in their bad. I can understand " yea you know, they're not really my taste. or Idont like their style" but i dont understand how you guys think they're talentless. They perform just as good live as they do on records. Unlike some bands...

You're wrong about that "they're as good live as on their albums" as they're better live.

When I first saw a Tokio Hotel music video I thought "Hmm, their singer's kinda hot" and then I found out their singer is a "man" for that reason I hate them.

I love Avenged, they're one of my guilty pleasures. Like Paramore, who I still don't understand my love for.

I've listened to them a few times, don't like or dislike them. I do really like the song M. Shadows did with Slash though.

I went to my first live show since NSYNC ( mom and sister dragged me when i was little) and it was astounding. Disturbed played their too and i like a couple of their songs. THey both performed really well. But for blackveil brides or w.e i think they're just trying to stand out by having that image. Dislike bands taht do that sorry. Not saying they suck but ya lol

Probably something like this.

For their early stuff, a lot of people dislike metalcore-sty|e vocals.
For the later stuff, a lot of people seem to dislike his clean vocals.

Their "metalcore" vocals are one of the few bands who scream that I like though. I'm not a big fan of their newest, more thrash metal-ish stuff though...

playing as good live as you sound on record doesn't mean you have talent. Having a fairly simple and un-onriginal album and playing it perfectly live isn't much of an accomplishment, imo. I don't think you are wrong to listen to them, I just prefer my music with a little more atmosphere, progressive song-writing, etc.

They're not very talented compared to other metal bands, and the vocals remind of a cat beating itself to death.

their singer has one of the most annoying voices ever.. Their song writing ranges from really stock/boring to flat out annoying and the lyrics are laughable because you can just tell they think they are all SOOO cool even when its some of the cheesiest stuff you can put in a song

I will admit they do have talented guitar players and their drummer is pretty good but that doesnt make a good band in my opinion.

I'm a massive fan of Sevenfold, something I've said many times on these here forums. I don't mind if people don't like them, as long as I'm still listening to their music.

I liked playing Queen and the Harlot..or whatever it's name on Guitar Hero and the song "Almost Easy" is a personal fave of mine. It's on my "Music to plow through traffic on my way to work" playlist.

But outside of that, I haven't heard much of their stuff, and can't say that I'm a definte fan. But I've no problem with 'em.

I actually really liked city of evil and their self titled album. There new album just does not seem to engage me as much as the last two did
