A7X Make Top 10!!!

2007-11-07 by Trey STAFF | 47 Comments
AVENGED SEVENFOLD's new self-titled album sold 94,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
AVENGED SEVENFOLD guitarist Zacky Vengeance issued the following statement about the news:

"It's kind of funny to wake up and see the words AVENGED SEVENFOLD at the No. 4 spot on the Billboard top 200. Right next to THE EAGLES and a BRITNEY/CARRIE UNDERWOOD threesome. I don't know about you, but it puts a smirk on my face just knowing that our fans tattooed it right on the foreheads of everyone who would quickly disregard the name AVENGED SEVENFOLD (like we aren't a fucking force to be reckoned with, Haha). So once again thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

MTV has decided to debut our video for 'Almost Easy' on 'TRL', which makes me believe that someone over at MTV is screaming for something real..."

From there he continues talking... for the rest of his statement:

I don't even know if a reaction to this back-patting is necessary... from what I've heard, this album is horrible.

Man I hate this band so much now it's insane. I can't believe people think this is actually metal.

They're pretty lame... and maybe this is just me, but it doesn't seem necessarily a matter of pride to be placed beside names like Spears or Underwood.

Goes to show the mass US public don't have very good taste.

They should have gotten a new singer after Shadows wrecked his voice.

Of course they sold so many copies, they are the Mötley Crüe of this generation. Yuck.

"Zacky Vengeance"

Gayest, most pompous and pretentious name ever. Even worse that Matt Shadows.

"MTV has decided to debut our video for 'Almost Easy' on 'TRL', which makes me believe that someone over at MTV is screaming for something real..."

Hmm, okay could someone tell A7X that they are not fucking real in any way, shape or form?

And Canadians too! At least this type of music keeps the dummy's at bay and away from anything that is musically unique!

I'm really ashame that this record was officially the #1 selling record this week in Quebec city... almost easy's constantly playing on the radio, what a terrible song. Each song of this album is worse than everything they ever wrote before.

Apparently you can trick the US and Canadian masses into buying your album by adding some synth'd vocals, some clowns and a drummer's talentless singing to your record.

Or maybe by sucking. *Thinks of Load*

^ I think it more of the fact that the band released a really shitty issue that is the problem. Not that they are mainstream.

Yes, we, the metal fans, are ignorant, because we choose to dislike a single album.

"Oh ****, I didn't like *insert band*'s *same band's really bad album*. I'm ignorant."

As it happens synergy, we happen to be sick of new users who sign up to flame us!

Isn't that funny, it's almost like I'm mocking you; wait. I am.

Ok first off, A7X is a hardcore band with very few metal influences IMO. Also, the fact that their new album sucked and blew at the same time doesn't make us ignorant for not liking them.

Im so sick of people who think that A7X, As I Lay Dying, Silverstein, and the like are tr00 metal.

You have to admit though, it's ability to suck AND blow at the same time is quite impressive. You'd think that wasn't possible

Unfortunately, this is probably the closest the MTV Generation will get to "metal". A shame they're using one of the worst songs on the album though ("but the whole album sucked!" har har har, yeah I get it, you don't like the album).
