  • The Fine Bros actually decided to show the kids Avenged Sevenfold? Kinda blows my mind. I expected they would have waited a little longer and shown it to the Elders or Teens. Oh well....we have some little A7X fans in our midst.

    I actually really like Shadows' voice. Its different and the roughness of it gives it a bit of extra grit which i like. I feel like A7X wouldn't be A7X without his vocal style.

      TBH i thought that was where his vocals began to pick up on the whole. I wasnt a fan of some of the stuff on Waking the Fallen, but i think it is important to not that thy tried to focus on not screaming in this album so he still had to fully find his footing.

      He's not a bad vocalist but him was the only part I didn't dig the first time I heard them, it reminded me of generic alt rock 2000s bands, I've only listened to a couple of songs tho, maybe the songs I heard didn't do him justice, in any case, I definitely have to give them another chance

      No he's not. He has shortcomings and tries his best to cover them. Although I like his singing after a fashion, and think he's really a great asset as a musician to the band, I raelly don't think he has extremely good vocals.
      He starts having problems when he needs to hit high notes and sings from the nose oftimes.

Never anything positive to say, and it seems they go into everything expecting to be disappointed.

    One of the biggest problems here I think, is that a lot of the kids look at the instrumentals, and pretty much everything that isn't the vocals, as the "background music", when in reality guitar, drums, and bass can add just as much if not more to the music as vocals, and should be viewed as just as big of a component instead of just the background music. It's as if the ones complaining about "no vocals and too many instruments" are putting way less value on the instruments than the voice, when in reality they really should have the same value put on them.

    • @orlock20

    • @franohmsford7548
      @franohmsford7548 7 лет назад +1

      Kids have always done that - It's part of growing up to be able to separate out and enjoy music for itself - Especially complicated and chaotic music like metal OR Classical {How many "kids" actually like Mozart, Beethoven or Tchaikovsky?}.
      Kids focus on the vocals and they don't like waiting for said vocals through 2 minute long introductions.
      I would like to see FBE give these kids a bunch of instrumentals from different bands to listen to and see how they feel - El Distorto de Melodica by Everclear needs to be in there.

    • @someoneinthecrowd4313
      @someoneinthecrowd4313 7 лет назад +5

      I think it's funny that to the me the vocals function as the background music. Vocals when done well reinforces the feel that is laid out by the instruments in my opinion. I feel that the chorus of nightmare is a good example.

    Yeah, them not mentioning The Rev's passing to the kids (or even not mentioning him at all really) was really disrespectful in my opinion. He was such an influence to many (including myself). He had such an impact on Avenged Sevenfold. He wrote hits such as "Afterlife" and "A Little Piece of Heaven" just to name a few. When he passed, it seemed like the sound of Avenged changed. It just didn't have the feel that it did when The Rev was still here. He deserved a shit ton of credit which he didn't get from FBE. It's whatever I guess. Just butthurt that they didn't mention The Rev more. R.I.P Jimmy "The Rev" Sullivan.

    My line between rock/metal is drawn by stuff like Guns n Roses, Van Halen, Judas Priest, and Iron Maiden. They are all hard in terms of rock, but light in terms of metal.

    • @Infyra
      @Infyra 7 лет назад +13

      Thats maybe more of the Extreme Metal line? Something like Painkiller is pretty heavy, and I guess also draws heavy from extreme metal influences where Priests older albums were pure Heavy Metal.

      Brenden Turner I just have trouble getting behind the never ending brutal onslaught of hopelessness and depression in Slipknot songs, it makes them really hard to enjoy listening too. And it bothers me how they can be so hypocritical: lamenting and mourning for a lost loved one one second and than committing verbal murder and suicide the next.
      And while a7x has some harsh songs I believe they are overall better musicans and more creative artists with a much larger musical range to satisfy most metal and hard rock fans.

      M. Shadows may not be a mind blowing amazing vocalist but the guy is excellent, if Axl Rose is the definitive voice for Guns N Roses then M. Shadows defines A7X vocally at least for me. And to answer Mike's query about why metal is negative 90% of the time it's because metal is not supposed to be pretty. It's supposed to jarring and crazy, imagine in a hypothetical sense a picture of the world, if pop defines it's few features simply and rock n roll is more upbeat about it then metal presents to you a darker and more sinister side of the same picture you wouldn't be able to find in rock

      I really liked that album but I understand why it gets criticism. Shepherd Of Fire and This Means War in particular got a ton of criticism for sounding too much like Metallica. It just depends on where you draw the line between “tribute/homage” and “ripping off”,how understanding you are of a band’s reasoning for doing it,and just how much you care about that stuff. The line between “influenced sound” and “copycat sound” matters too. Greta Van Fleet has really been forcing that conversation with their Led Zeppelin influenced/copycat music.

    Actually Matt's voice is one of the best parts of A7X becaaaause Its not your stereotypical super growly screams or one that sounds like a lumberjack nor is it one of those Metalcore bands whose every singer sounds like a teenage boy barely hitting puberty. And I can stand the nasal voice because I grew up listening to a lot of GnR and my own voice. ALso I think it fits well with Syn's guitar. So all in all Shadow's vocals make the band also stand out a bit more than It would without (also the song composition not being your boring verse chorus verse chorus solo chorus chorus) oh and also I appreciate that they have semi clean vocals not growling (which I dont get... why does everything have to be screaming and growling. The first 2 albums came almost too close to that for me to like them.Too much of a clean vocals guy I am (well clean vocals with power behind them,)) but also not going too clean in parts.

      @ML-xp1kp 6 лет назад +2

      They do, really. Let me explain, their songs are the same in FORMAT, not MUSIC. Most of their songs start off with this epic, powerful riff, then have a melodic chorus, usually containing a high-pitched guitar line, lyrical singing, and a bit more basic chord structure that adds more flow to it. Most songs, they nail it, though there are a few that I would like to lose the lyrical part.

      Lord Popo it's not just about the vocal range and other abilities, but also about the feels. In Victim you can literally hear him hold back a couple of tears. And yes, about the vocal range, sure it is undeniable. Even take I Won't See You Tonight part 1 as an example!

      He’s definitely a polarizing vocalist for sure. I don’t think it’s about whether he’s a good vocalist though. I think we can all agree that he’s a good vocalist. I think it’s more about whether his vocals are good for metal music. So in that regard I understand if some people don’t like his vocals.

    I think M. Shadows' vocals are crucial to the unique sound that seperates them everyone else. It's understandable that many people don't like the way his vocals go a little more emo than they would want but I love it.

    Disturbed has some positive songs. Down with the Sickness, The Light, The Vengeful One (in the "f*ck the media way).

    • @its_not_fair9866
      @its_not_fair9866 7 лет назад +4

      Raiju B. Fox I think that calling this songs (exept of "The Light") positive isn't correct. This songs are meaningful, but not positive. I don't think someone will call the "Mommy don't do it again" part in Down With The Sickness positive.

    • @Inferiis
      @Inferiis 7 лет назад +4

      Disturbed and positiveness? Down with the sickness is far from positive in any means. However, "history-metal" bands do have some positive songs (like viking metal, Sabaton, etc.)

    • @archaeorobbo
      @archaeorobbo 7 лет назад

      Inferis I wouldn't say they are particularly positive when we're talking about lyrics of war and battles I mean rise of evil isn't exactly positive or even carolus rex it's still about a general who causes death and destruction but the music sounds happier because it's all mostly power metal because that's what the theme of battle goes well with the most

      Cold Death 969 true, but I was aiming for the most positive as in image and sound. They do have some heavier songs tho

      Just Michael I get that you might not like them, and that's fine, but they are far from a mockery. They're not for everyone, sure, but I've seen them live and what they produced on stage was far from a mockery of metal. Top 5 shows I've ever seen

    M. Shadows has a very unique voice and I really like it. It's one of the band's main identifying characteristics.
