Avenged Sevenfold

[jgcable]

Thats right bro's!!!
The CD is called City of Evil

There are a ton of great guitar solos on this CD.
Actually, the entire CD is VERY good. The only critique that I could make is the singer is a little whiny and nasal.
Give the entire CD a listen too. You will agree. The guitar players in this band are both VERY good.

[Top Jimmy B]

I agree with everything you said. Great players and a whiny singer. I do enjoy their music, though.

[chrisgUK]

yeah great album. My fav song is Trashed and Scattered. Cant get enough of that song.
I agree with your comments about the singer, sometimes he sings well then goes into an annoying emo nasel sound

[VitaminG]

compared to the whiny singers of the 80s, I don't think he's bad. Although I've only caught a couple of tunes on HBB. worth looking into then?

Terrible, terrible band of trend jumpers. Fashioncore.

[jwoods986]

Is it the CD with Bat Country on it? I like that tune a lot. If so, I might have to check out the rest of the CD.

I could give a shit about trends or fashion or emo or any of that other crap. Other than the singers whiny voice, the guitar players in Avenged Sevenfold rip big. To me.. they are what 2 Bucketheads would sound like if they were doing Stryper solo's. Great guitar chops. Really great.
I would say that the entire City of Evil CD is one big shredfest!
Thats cool because my kids who are 16,14 and 12 love them.
For the guitarist who likes duel ripping technical and extremely well played solos this album is absolutely worth checking out.

Here is the song list.

I think the band has good musicians, but it ain't my thing. Sidewinder is the shit though.

Its not my style of music either but good musicianship is good musicianship. The songs are really well written too with some classical and nylon guitar stuff in there too.

The guitarists don't play the way they look. Trust me on this.
I bet they were Maiden or Stryper fans before they went Emo or whatever you call it. Speed picking, sweeps, dives, modes, alternate picking and tasty dual solos are all over just about every song. Even some Flamenco type playing.

[ApeDosMil]

They use to be good. I remember seeing them a couple years ago. Now his voice sucks and they changed their sound.

Saw them when they came through Providence. They put on a great show. They are big Dream Theater fans. Not only can you hear it in thier music, but they used the line "Metropolis takes it's toll" in Trashed and Scattered.
