[Rubbish King]

Now as a young child i loved rock and some metal but i never listened to these guys but fuck me GAF, isnt it great? Honestly don't know how i managed to miss out on such a great band in the past 5 years

[GK86]

No.

 

[vas_a_morir]

first reply is some cold shit.

 

[EnderWiggles]

Is this a fucking joke

 

[Desmond]

I liked them until I saw them live. They were garbage except for the singer. Terrible live. They also covered some shitty Pantera song.

 

[Mordeccai]

Not going to lie, they were pretty good to my ears when I was 14-18 or so.

But then again, so was Disturbed. Now both bands see a whopping 0 amount of plays for the past two years.

 

[.GqueB.]

Yes they are amazing. Watch this live show from LBC.

WATCH IT!!!

 

[rando14]

No.

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

Yes. City of Evil is when they figured out what sound they were going for.

Why'd you have to go and bring Pantera into this?

 

[Broder Salsa]

They are only just above Korn, Slipknot and the like when it comes to shitty metal.

 

[ymmv]

First reply always nails it.

Sorry lol.

Hey, Corey and Joey are pretty solid.

 

[Fusebox]

They're pretty good.

 

[waypoetic]

No. Noooooooooooooooooooo.

 

[Izick]

I like Panera.

 

[Lambtron]

These guys are absolutely terrible. They are somehow as bad as their name. Impressive.

 

[Data West]

lead singer sounds constipated

 

[rCIZZLE]

As bad as they are in the genre, I'd still take them over the best rap/country/dubstep/pop/emo has to offer.

 

[BadAss2961]

Still play Chapter Four sometimes like nobody's business (dat old Madden soundtrack). So Far Away is a nice song too.

Something tells me there's gonna be lots of hate though.

You don't know what you're talking about. Listen to some of the songs from City of Evil and there's absolutely no way that you could possibly say they're "terrible". Maybe not your style of music, but not remotely terrible.

I'm not going to say they're bad but great? Nah, not even close.

 

[vas_a_morir]

I like Panera.

I'm finding that RockGAF and MetalGAF are a bunch of jaded bastards. Who the fuck do y'all like around here?

Check out the MetalGAF thread maybe?

 

[hiryu64]

No.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Actually always loved Coreys voice. Shame he can't write any decent lyrics to save his life.

 

[Fry]

They have some pretty good hit songs, but overall they're nothing special. Sound lame live, too. (only seen one concert on TV, though, so I might not be the best one to judge).

All of those threads are so ridiculously insular that there's no reason to bother. They redefine elitist.

 

[Kade]

They're the Linkin Park of metalcore or whatever high school students call it now.

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Fucking hate their singers voice. Also, their nicknames are stupid. If you don't look bad ass in a top hat, you don't get a nickname.

 

[strafer]

Mike Portnoy saved their last album.

Fucking genius.

It's not our fault if you're not open to trying different and obscure music.....metal gaf sure has plenty of that.

They are pretty bad live. I thought the singer was aight though. Guitars and Drums sounded like asssssssssssss.

Axenstar? What does MetalGAF think of them?

Lol, the dude at the end has me in stitches.

 

[Demon Ice]

Death metal drummer here. A7x are decent for radio "metal" / hard rock. I have their original drummer's name on my bass drum. Dude had some really creative stuff. Great lead guitarist too, their music doesn't really reflect the talent they have, because they're going for a more mainstream sound. For their genre I think they're definitely better than Slipknot / Five Finger Death Punch / Godsmack, Shinedown, etc.

They put on a good show. A lot of the hate ITT is people wanting to sound jaded/hardcore/whatever. They're definitely not a bad band by any means.


Edit: I don't understand people saying A7x sound bad live and then going and saying they like Slipknot. Jordison is the only Slipknot member that can play his shit right live.

 

[Fudgepuppy]

They are fucking boring and almost a parody of themselves were the singer has the same vocal capacity of Chad Kroeger.

 

[Shadow2222]

Mike Portnoy saved their last album.

Fucking genius.

Agreed. I miss him in Dream Theater, but Mike Mangini fills the spot well.

Mike Portnoy rocking it live (while in Dream Theater, back in 2004): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4ovKd-IITE

 

[Cipherr]

Was this one of those groups whose music appeared in like every freaking MMO gameplay video, and DBZ AMV I watched back in the day. Alone with like, Linkin Park, Evanscnensecenece and all the others?

 

[ReturnOfTheRAT]

It's not our fault if you're not open to trying different and obscure music.....metal gaf sure has plenty of that.

I find plenty of new music in the monthly music thread in regular OT. The segmented music threads in community are off putting.

 

[thesoapster]

I like a couple of their songs. That's about it.

 

[Data West]

Sure is a lot of people in this thread speaking for other people. Can you guys also tell me what I want for breakfast since you know exactly why I don't like a band?

 

[jmdajr]

I thought this was ok, then I don't know what happened... Just didn't like the transformation.

 

[agrajag]

I think they're a garbage band.

 

[Kaladin]

I find plenty of new music in the monthly music thread in regular OT. The segmented music threads in community are off putting.

While I have found some can be, metal gaf is really about just posting new songs/bands or posting about old stuff we have just come across...or some show we just went to. Nothing off putting about us.

Yeah City of Evil is probably my fave album of theirs.

Would you feel better if every post started with "in my opinion"?
