I've never understood why people think Avenged Sevenfold is Metal, because it clearly isn't.
Ummm everything up untill this last cd was definitely metal.......
If you say Avenged isn't metal, then you mine as well say Iron Maiden isn't metal....
No it wasn't, it was more hard rock and metalcore, and metalcore isn't usually considered to be real metal. Iron Maiden is real metal and it's completely different here. None of this pop-rock bull****.
It is easy to tell the dumb metal-heads when they bring up this "real-metal" BS.
Metalcore is metal, live with it.
Oh and don't kid yourself, Iron Maiden is poppy as hell. Good God Avenged is more metal than they are. They are a terrible, terrible band and get wayyy more credit than they deserve.
No, metalcore is essentially an offshoot that originated from the punk and hard rock scene, it's more or less a metal wannabe sub-genre with no real main genre, it's just there.
It doesn't matter if Iron Maiden is a little mainstream here and there, it's still good, they were essentially the progenitors of power metal, by that virtue and the fact that they are way better in terms of quality, they are more "metal" than a7x could possibly hope to be (though I don't usually use metal as an adjective).
If you don't consider Metal to be your main genre, or if you haven't had much experience with it, you obviously don't have much criterion or even any authority to actually try and make A7X seem more legitimate, what it all boils down to is that it's not real Metal. Obviously by virtue of the fact that I myself have been listening to Metal since Kindergarten and the fact that it's one of the few genres of music that I like, obviously I'm prone to a much better definition of what is and isn't Metal.
Deal with it.
