Five musical geniuses from Orange County, M. Shadows (Matthew Sanders), Synyster Gates (Brian Haner jr.), Zacky Vengeance (Zachary Baker), Johnny Christ (Jonathan Seward) and The Reverand (James Sullivan) presenting us three amazing albums: Sounding The Seventh Trumpet, Waking The Fallen, and their latest City Of Evil. Duelling guitars, drastically intertwined vocals and artillery-fire drumming form their impossibly detailed songs; perfect dwelling places for the deepest emotions.
Glad to have extremely talented and unique bands like Avenged Sevenfold to save our scene from fake boring bands and scenesters.

Me: Avenged Sevenfold is the greatest band of this era! Long live A7X!

Mindless person who knows nothing about music: A7X sucks, I'm gonna go listen to some Hilary Duff, Lindsay Lohan, and Ashley Simpson, now that's rock n' roll, hyuck!

what every 12-16 year old listens to to be cool cause all of their friends listen to it when really its just the drummer having a seizure while the guitarist tunes to drop d and hits the 6-4th strings over and over again while the bassist takes a nap and the singer screams at the top of his puny emo lungs without even bothering to put out any words of any sort.

kids usually only listen to bands such as this due to their friends' poor taste in music while if they actually tried to think freely they would most likely enjoy actual metal bands such as obituary, morbid angel, november's doom, pestilence, death, cannibal corpse (1980's-90's), and others.
guy listening to avenged sevenfold alone: Wtf is this shit?!

kid listening to a7x with all his a7x friends in all their a7x hot topic gear: hey this is totally core dude!

Avenged centerfold are a shitty band that look like the bastard chldren of a gay biker and whiny emo. Their music is charicterized by stolen Iron Maiden riffs, simple chord progressions, and sissy vocals. Quite possibly, all butt pirates.

Fans are usually teenage girls or gender confused teenage boys.
Fag: Hey dude, did you hear the new avenged sevenfold album yet? It rocks!

True rocker: Piss off bitch! (pushes fag down, spits on him)

Embarrassing American band who believe they're hardcore because they have; lame nicknames ('Synister Gates'? Need I say more?), clothes blatantly brought from the girls section in Hot Topic (and customised to fit them), muscle-hugging tank-tops, eye-liner, face-powder and nail-varnish (they blatantly have more beauty products than me and I'm a 20 year old girl. These are men clocking 30, I may add).

Talented musicians that are over-shadowed by a poor image and a terrible singer.
Male fan: OMG I luv Avenged Sevenfold! Omgz Synister Gates is like well fit!
Non-fan: He looks like a woman.
