ITS EYELINER!

&& Why Cant They Wear It?

Im Wearing It Now.

Mascara: Why do they wear mascara? Weeell, why not? They are a Metal/Rock/Hard Rock/Alt Rock/Alt Metal/Whatever band, many bands in those genres have a dark image often involving make-up… as with any rock/metal band, if they wore boring clothes or chav clothes or something they wouldn’t be anywhere near as popular… it’s not because their music is bad, it’s just that they wouldn’t fit in and be accepted as role models if their clothes didn’t match their music, at least to a certain extent…

Emo? No, heck no… Emo derived from the subgenre of punk, Emotive Hardcore… bands like Saetia in the late ’90s were classed under this genre… (they personally thought the genre was a loada rubbish), and the genre kind of described music that provoked alot of emotion when listened to… obviously lots of music that isn’t “emo” can do that too, probably why they thought the genre was so useless… Anyway, the genre gradually warped into meaning, music like Fall Out Boy (Do they even sing about emotive/emotional things???) and feminine guys with make-up and dark fringes… pretty much… Avenged Sevenfold are NOT emo… their songs are obviously emotional, as most music is, but their style of music is metal, not pop-rock-nonsense… People who say they’re whiney are just idiots who listen to one of two of the Avenged Sevenfold singles and assume that all of their music is the same… The music they release as singles is what appeals to most people! Listen to the albums! Yeah, the odd song might seem a bit poppy and get annoying when over played, like Beast And The Harlot, and maybe you don’t like Seize The Day because it’s “Emo”, but even Seize The Day isn’t that whiney lol… Listen to the whole City Of Evil album and see if you still think they’re emo and whiney. Songs like Strength Of The World prove that they are extremely good musicians and NOT emo or whiney.

The new album… as with most if not all Avenged Sevenfold music, it takes quite a few listens to get into the songs, and at first the album seems kinda bland and a bit samey throughout, but after maybe 10 listens or so, it really grew on me… they’ve grown a lot as musicians, and some of the stuff in the new album is awesome… I really like the kinda country stuff, as well as all of the metal and it’s obvious that they don’t care about the people who want to stick them in a certain genre… Avenged Sevenfold do what Avenged Sevenfold want to do, they aren’t constrained by their genre, if they want to use auto-tune (like in “Lost”) they’ll use auto-tune, if they want to write poppy choruses, they will…

I hope that’s clarified that they are most definately not emo… I don’t really care if you don’t like the music, but don’t dislike it because you think they look feminine or emo… emo is a wayyyy over used term right now… it’s like, you wear anything black, or any kind of make up and you’re termed emo… I even got called emo a while ago purely because i was wearing jeans… I was like.. “eh, whaaat?”.. Aaand they definately aren’t of teh man-man persuasion anyway, most of them have girl friends actually…

Oh yeah and they’re awesome live…

Finally, why can’t you swear in this? D:

My theory on this? Some people never grow out of puberty….

BUT THAT’S WHY WE HAVE FREEDOM!

Personally i stopped listening to bands like this, when i started jerking out my frustrations in the bathroom.

LOL
