Avenged Sevenfold

avenged sevenfold has 2 meanings
1.A "band" that is to busy putting on makeup and painting their nails black to learn how to write good music. They are so up their own asses they don't see that they are nothing but a shitty metal band for hot topic fags that know nothing about music. They are so hardcore they don't go by their real names. Going by Synyster Gates and The Rev dosn't make you more metal or hardcore it just makes you a bigger fag. Live they talk shit, when all you want them to do is play their shitty songs get off the stage so you can see the next band. They will soon die off and no one will like them and move on to the next shitty band probably Aiden.
2.can be used to replace the word shit when talking about bands

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.

I. - (Aven-ged' Seven-fold; noun) A terrific band that receives very "little" praise from the rock fanbase. They are--with a doubt--metal/rock. Such songs, like Desecrate Through Reverence, or Clairvoyant Disease (their best songs), are considered to be metal.
II. - (Aven-ged' Seven-fold; noun) An amazing band with unique guitar riffs. They are among the few rockbands nowadays that 'actually' know the definition of intense. The vast majority of their songs have quite a bit of originality and taste.
III. (Aven-ged' Seven-fold; noun) Term for a childhood prodigy, whose talents and efforts are vaguely summarized as good.
