Why so much criticism? Some people call them emo. They have some emoish stuff, and some sad and meaningful stuff, there is a difference. And many people just say they're not metal. Did they say they were metal? They are metalcore or hard rock, whatever. They are one of my favorite bands, and I want to know what other people think.

I don't care if they are "heavy" or not. They suck. I think it's because they mix retro glam metal with modern screamo, but I'm not quite sure...

The seem very meh to me. Yet I constantly hear people claim that Synyster Gates or whatever his name is is a guitar master. Becuase they've never heard Atheist or Dream Theater.

Probably my favorite band, I've listend to them for a long time now. They really went all out on their self-titled album; really meaningful lyrics, wicked guitar solos, and etc. My favorite songs are Gunslinger, Afterlife, Dear God, Unbound, and A Little Piece of Heaven(the music video is bizarre).

They are ok. Their songs can be catchy, but nothing I would go out and buy and entire album of.

I hate how some A7X fans hail Synyster Gates as the Second Coming of Jesus on the guitar. He's good, but not great.

Really great band. There's a CD I really like of theirs, it's the one with Trash and Scattered. I hate slow songs, but oddly enough, their slower songs are amazing.

Well, at least they didn't sell out like KISS. I think it's all good with A7X music, but City of evil owns the rest (That's th one with trashed and scattered.

They're OK. The chorus' are almost always a chord progression with 4 chords for like 2 measures each. It gets boring really fast.

I have only heard two of their songs.But from what I heard,there was not much to their music. Anyone else think that the main riff of Beast And The Harlot is derived from Queen Of The Reich by Queensryche?

They are the usual run-of-the-mill mainstream hard rock. Once you pull away from the mainstream, atleast the U.S MTV mainstream you begin to see where the real talent is located.

Well, I do like alot of non mainstream music too. But just because it is poular, doesn't make it bad. But MTV has been ruining bands for years. As the Dead Kennedys said, MTV, get off the air.

Good, you should. They are the best punk band ever. I wish that punk and metal could stop fighting, and band together to destroy authority, because really, that's what they're about.

they're allright. Not amazing but not bad imo. I really like Beast/Sieze/and Remenissions.

my expectation of music heard on the Tv (during normal hours) has been reduced to 0, so they are a welcomed changed.

I think they're great. I don't care if you think their music sucks, or their singer sucks, or their guitarist isn't as good as (insert some random guitarist's name here), that's all a matter of opinion.

But personally, i think they're great, and they've been my top band for 5 years.

Killswitch Engage.

I said they are not THE best punk band. What I mean by that is that out of the many punk bands you probably don't know Dead Kennedys is far from being the best. Probably one of the most well known.

I really don't like them, and I've explained why so many times on this board to the point where I don't feel like arguing about it. If anyone really wants to know what I think, I'll just copy and paste something that I wrote from before.
