avenged sevenfold: wtf!?! Their first 2 songs were really good. It was like iron maiden. I'm sort of in awe. The voice was almost perfectly a number of the beast era maiden rip off. They were only missing the guitar leads. what happend to them being the gayest thing since sliced bread and they come out like some huge metal band. they even had cat-walks and levels like the maiden stage. I was told they ended with walk, but I don't know. I heard it went into another one of their songs that make girls cry.

I thought they were pretty good and I'll be the first to admit on this board that I like the new cd. The guitar work is awesome once you get past the vocals. I was very suprised when they covered "Walk" seriously it was as perfect as you can get. If you closed your eyes while listening to walk you wouldn't be able to tell if it was Pantera or Avenged Sevenfold it was that dead on.

system of a down: probably one of the worst thins I've seen live. There was no ignoring it. They had no stage presents either and sort of just posed around the stage. So lame and so gay was the sopecticale that they unleashed, I've coined and new word, glame. They were so glame. From what a little bird told me, they all hate each other and just want to get this f'n tour done. they had flashing lights that made me wonder how many doods faked epilepse to get out of there.
