rocketking Posted January 19, 2006 Share Posted January 19, 2006 Cool interview with Avenged Sevenfold from MTVnews. Apparently GNR was their biggest influence.... B) MTV: Is it safe to call Guns N' Roses your biggest influence?Shadows: Guns N' Roses is my favorite band of all time. It's funny 'cause we just did a thing for the [Los Angeles Times] and the guy's like, "People compare 'em to Guns N' Roses and Shadows walked out with a GN'R shirt," and he thought that was weird that I would, but the thing is, I'm not ashamed of the bands I love. I love that band. You can compare us all you want — they're a huge reason why I'm even in a band and even write music. My dad gave me Appetite for Destruction when it first came out; he saw [Guns N' Roses] on "Headbanger's Ball," and they're a huge inspiration. Metallica and Megadeth and GN'R, those are bands that I'll never deny loving ... those are bands that kind of made me and made this band kind of what it is. We don't try to be like, "Oh we're becoming a big band, so we're gonna pretend like we don't have any influences."The whole interview: MTV.com interview Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Volitan Posted January 20, 2006 Share Posted January 20, 2006 The only thing going for A7X is that they have solos. good solos are few and far between these days but A7X has good solos, but the songs them selves are shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's disgraceful.there are a lot of similarities. open your mind, dont be so retarded Yes, let's "open our minds" to how shitty they are. I encourage everyone to do the same. Iron Maiden have achieved a dominant status in the metal world today and these guys.. well, they will fade within 2 years. There are no similarities. Next time, when you call someone retarded, use proper sentence structure, so that you don't sound retarded. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlashisGOD Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 Ehh, I just don't like em at all. When it comes to Metal, I like it extreme and fast. I listen to Black Metal, Death Metal, Speed, Thrash, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
